Book Review: Great Negotiations- Agreements that Changed the Modern World

Fredrik Stanton's Great Negotiations: Agreements that Changed the Modern World has done an fabulous job in giving a back-stage view of the interactions between the principal players of eight very important negotiations, namely:* Franklin at the French Court in 1778:
* The Louisiana Purchase, 1803
* The Congress of Vienna 1814-1815
* The Portsmouth Treaty, 1905
* The Paris Peace Conference, 1919
* The Egyptian-Israeli Armistice Agreement, 1949
* The Cuban Missile Crisis, 1962
* The Reykjavik Summit, 1986
Stanton's introduction begins: "Words as much as weapons, shape history. Whether to avert, assist, or secure the resolution of a conflict, in the modern age, diplomacy has had great triumphs and bitter failures."
Great Negotiations is an extremely well researched and well written book. It contains letters, diaries, and transcripts. I was excited to read this book but I expected it to be a collection of dry facts, but to my surprise it's not. Each negotiation is full of details that continually build the suspense. This book would make a great gift for anyone who enjoys history!

The Snowman's Song Children's Book Giveaway!
After reading this book and listening to the CD that was enclosed with the book (It's a reading of the story from the author, how cool is that?) I was very impressed! The story line is great and I like that morals were taught in the story. The book encourages children to find their own individual song as well as helping them to see the importance of being kind to others. This was well written and I believe it would be easily understood by even younger children.
The illustrations within the book are vivid and captivating. Illustrations can really make or break a children's book for me. I guess I'm like a child in that way; I like the pictures. : )
All-in-all this was a great book that I would recommend for anyone to enjoy with their family. This book would also make a treasured gift to share with others this holiday season. The story is timeless, encouraging and the illustrations beautiful.
Here is an amazing fact about this book's publishers! For every book sold, the publishers are giving away one book to an underprivileged family. What a caring organization! That just blesses my heart.
If you are interested in this book, please go and learn more at Snowmanssong.com. The book normally sells for $19.95 but is on sale now for $16.95!

After Eden Book Makes a Great Gift Idea
This cute comic is just a snippet from a book that I love. It will make you laugh and make you think all at the same time! Dan Lietha put together the best of his hilarious, thought-provoking After Eden cartoons, for the first time in one book. This would make a great gift and conversation starter!
Straight from their website:
"Ranging from the time of Adam & Eve to our modern day, the cartoons in After Eden are about the struggles and joys of life in a sin-cursed world. Using biblical history as the foundation, these cartoons convey a thought-provoking message in a humorous way. As you look at each cartoon of a familiar biblical account, you may find yourself saying, “Hmm, I never thought about it that way before.” So get ready to laugh and learn as you take a look at the world … after Eden!"
If you're interested in purchasing this book for your pastor, Sunday school teacher, or anyone here's where you can....simply go here to Answers in Genesis. The cost is $9.99 with $4.99 economy shipping. You can get $0.01 shipping when you purchase $75+ of merchandise.
