Split Second From Hell: The True Story of a Career Marine Combat Pilot
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2007-08-22 Summary: Who said Christians don't live an exciting life? ... When I first met Col. Jack McGuckin at church several years ago, I would not have believed any Christian I knew could have lived such an exciting life. I got to hear him speak several times, and his messages were just as exciting as his book. Even my children, who were very young at the time, were captivated by him. I got a copy of his book as soon as it was published. Keep some tissues handy because you will need them for the tears of laughter as well as tears of sadness. This book will be enjoyed by all--male, female, ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2007-07-09 Summary: Prepare yourself for an exciting ride with Col. McGuckin! ... Wow! What a life! What a testimony! Col. McGuckin's story is amazing! He lived his new life in Christ by Galatians 2:20 "I am crucified with Christ..." and was willing to go where others would not. He flew many missionaries to the needy of many populations. But, he didn't just drop off the missionaries. For example: High in the mountains of Peru, he evangelized a group of "head-shrinkers" and even the witch-doctor gave his life to Christ! A true inspiration for us today... to nudge us into our own purpose and plan! ...more

[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-11-18 Summary: A Dose of Reality Sets a Political Tone ... In the landscape of historical books there is a plethora of long gone forests expended in describing the life and times of Franklin Delano Roosevelt. I have read two rather distinctive and thorough accounts of FDR being Conrad Black's "Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Champion of Freedom" and Doris Kearns Goodwin's "No Ordinary Time". Both these books were outstanding works and gave excellent perspectives on FDR's life. However, what H.W. Brands has done is to answer the ultimate question of this privileged patrician born ...more
