Review of Breaking the Jewish Code: 12 Secrets that Will Transform Your Life, Family, Health, and Finances (Hardcover)

Perry Stone unlocks twelve Jewish Torah mysteries in his book "Breaking the Jewish Code. I found fresh insight and hands-on help in understanding God's divine revelation to the Jewish people. The book is filled with instruction for practical daily living with keys to wealth, health, creative ability, raising children, and celebrating life cycles.

I found the chapters on the Mezuzah "door posts" and the significance of the names we give our children especially interesting and meaningful.

Stone has spent over 20 years in research of the Jewish language, history, and culture and made over 30 trips to the holy land. This dedication and calling are apparent in his writing. Stone is scholarly and profound in his presentation of content and concept, yet writes in a style and format easily understandable by clergy and layperson alike. The charts, lists, and illustrations add to the enjoyment and understanding of the text.

Stone is a gifted communicator. "Breaking the Jewish Code" reveals hidden truths that have been passed down from generations of Jewish tradition. This is an excellent study of the Hebrew Covenant with God, spiritual principles, the Feasts, Sabbaths, and annual celebrations.

Perry Stone writes to help the church understand the Jew, and the Jews to understand that true Christians love Israel and the Jewish people.

Review of Home Fires Burning: Married to the Military-for Better or Worse (Paperback)

Home Fires Burning really does look at military family life for better or for worse.Ms. Houppert does not sugarcoat the life of the military spouse like so many other books do, nor does she claim that military wives have made their own bed by choosing to marry someone in the military and therefore deserve to be unhappy.Given that such a small proportion of the population is being asked to carry the entire burden of the current conflicts-a book like this is important for civilians (particularly civilian defense leadership) to read so that they might understand the impact of the demands that conflict has on the society and way of life they claim to be protecting.I'm glad to see that Ms. Houppert is mature enough to say critical things about the military in a way that does not demean or patronize servicemembers or their families.We need more than parades, yellow ribbon magnets, and other trite penitance dished out by a complacent and disinterested civilian public.Military families need decent housing, good schools, and most importantly, the safe and speedy return of their loved ones.
On a personal level, this is the first book I've found that acknowledges the emotions and trials of women undergoing the strains of deployment.Other books, such as the oft-reccomended "Surviving Deployment" prattle on for paragraphs about keeping a log of your daily activities (as if any woman with a husband out of the country has the time) but offer only a parched sentance that vaguely addresses the nagging fear, lonliness, and frustration- feelings which the Army culture teaches us to keep to ourselves at great cost to our marriage and our own sanity.This book was a great catharsis.
