Publisher's Summary:

Seeking a memorial to his reign that would last longer than any coin or statue, a benevolent king seeks out the Wisdom of the Ages.

Wisdom is Ageless and Timeless

The use of a compelling story or parables (fables) is a great way to deliver a message. In this book, Wisdom of the Ages, Jim Stovall creates such a compelling story about leaving an enduring legacy and how to find such a legacy.

He invents a story about a king who wants to leave his mark for future generations. The King being very kind and open seeks the counsel of others.

Stovall's detailed description of each of the witnesses is exceptional. He provides opportunities for each witness to argue a compelling case as to what is the wisdom for the ages. One would think his characters are from the 21st century instead of some time long ago.

From my perspective, there are three central messages within this book. First is simply seek and ye shall find. If we choose not to seek, we shall not find what we are looking for and possibly settle for less than the best. The second message is connected with our ethics and beliefs and how we integrate those beliefs within our decision making process. Finally, one must take action. Just to think without action is nonsense. This book allows anyone tobe The Red Jacket in a sea of gray suits

Excellent, but ...

Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Augustine, Aquinas and many others have addressed this topic in a far more profound way. Mr Stovall has given us a popularization of a topic that merits a more serious presentation. While there are many signs pointing to wisdom from several points of view within his few pages, a possibly more important source of wisdom is, surprisingly, ignored: he has no representative of religion! Is he trying to inform his readers that religion has no wisdom to offer? Still, it is an interesting read, and quite possibly provides an insight as to what is sadly lacking in our society.

An absolute gem

This book is phenomenal. I had previously read Jim Stovall's book The Ultimate Gift and was blessed. I picked this book up while browsing the shelves in a bookstore and read it in about 90 minutes. I'm not certain if this book was a sequel to The Ultimate Gift, but it most definitely could have been. I recommend both of these books to anyone wanting to effect a positve change in their life in 2004.

"Just Believe"

For a free book (at the time) this was a very well written novel with a storyline that made you feel connected to the plot as well as to the characters. It's obviously about a genie or rather a "Messenger" as he calls himself. If you were given 3 wishes and you had about a month or less to ponder it over, what would it be? That's the choice that was given to the main characters of this story. The couple in this story are going through an extremely tough time in their marriage. They lost their 7 year old son to a horrible accident and they can't seem to move past it. Especially the father. Because of this, they have grown apart and they feel like just giving up. However, with the magic of finding a lamp with an engraving on the bottom saying "Just Believe" this gave Lisa hope.

I didn't know what to expect from this book so this was a surprise with a very positive message. The author was able to take an extreme case of tragedy and quickly turn it around to something positive that I believe all of us can appreciate and take to heart in our own lives.

Granted the story is a bit predictable, especially the ending. But even as you read the ending, you can't help but smile at such joy. Great job Mr. Stovall. A very pleasant read that left me smiling after closing the book.

Another great story by Jim Stovall.

This is a story of the endearing love and patience of a wife and a husband struggling with a tragedy that affected them both. The book is a bit predictable, but it leaves the reader with the good feeling that God does heal if we just get out of His way. Another great story by Jim Stovall.

Nice screenplay, but not a novel

This was a quick read - nice, inspiring story. It's more like a screenplay than a novel. There's a lot of "telling" rather than "showing" - as a result, the characters are not very deep.

It reminds me of a made-for-TV-movie where everything gets perfectly resolved. That's nice, but it feels a little too simplistic. There's great potential here for good storytelling. It makes you think, which is why it was written.

Nice, but a little simple minded

A nice story, albeit somewhat simplistic. There is a difference between pure & simple, & simplistic.

The Lamp Review

A simple tale that tells a powerful message: anything is possible for those that believe.

If you are down and out, full of doubts, this story would build your belief for a bright future. The story we tell ourselves is the most important story.

If you want to know the power of believe for yourself and what it can do for other, invest in The Lamp. The book you don't read, won't help.

All great things start with believing. Just Believe.

Publisher's Summary:

Gio twisted his shoulders, jerking himself upright, and hooked a foot around the door frame. One last try. There had to be a way out. "Sergeant," he shouted. "Stay strong. Don't give up."

Don't give up. God, help me. God. He would answer. Somewhere there was a purpose in this. But his doubts rose higher each time Sergeant screamed his name.

Giovanni Cavatelli simply wants to survive this one hour balloon flight. Never mind the girl he's flying is antagonistic, overbearing, and stubborn. Never mind it's her birthday. So they don't get along. He can survive one hour.

But when bad weather sends them crashing into the rural mountainside, one hour turns into three days and a dangerous game with a group of anti-government activists out to destroy them both.

Will her courage and skills be enough to save them? Or will something as simple as true love prove far stronger?

Members Reviews:

Lots of excitement, but...

As I was reading, I thought, "Where did I download this from? I thought it was Christian fiction." They were scoping each other out & lusting over each other from day 1. I do appreciate that he put the brakes on the physical actions, but he'd already encouraged her to show cleavage & said she wasn't his type, which she (& the reader) deduced that he went for "bimbos". He was a gentleman in actions, but... I'm glad they recognized God, but little about how that would impact their behavior & thoughts. I also thought it was strange that (Spoiler alert?) 3 gun runners/activists wouldn't be carrying guns & been able to quickly & easily overtake her being 3 to 1. All that said, I did enjoy the book & story, their banter. IMO, it was just too much..?..sexualized talk/overt flirting at first, especially between two strangers (& a "Christian" book) -- which is too bad, because I loved the characters & the story.

Wow What a Book!

This book was filled with excitement, suspense, danger and most of all a great live story.

Who would have thought a simple air balloon ride would end up in a crash, in the middle of a dangerous enemy camp in the middle of nowhere?

A great story of love and survival. You must read this great book!

RHONDA

Realistic, unique and super romantic!

This is the second book I've read by this author, and I thoroughly enjoyed each one. Flight Risk, is different from anything I've ever read before. One thing that struck me was how realistic it was. How the man was a man. What I mean by that is, the hunky Italian hero noticed the sway of the heroine's hips, and his eyes trailed over her figure, and his thoughts traveled to places he had to rein in because of his strong beliefs.

I found it very refreshing how the hero and heroine's relationship started, so unlike the majority of inspirational romances. Won't spoil it for you by explaining what I mean. You'll have to buy the book to find out.

I will say, if you like strong, realistic romance (not talking about sex, only thoughts of it), suspense, mystery, intrigue, and laughter, Flight Risk, has it all.

Flight Risk by Suzanne D. Williams

Flight Risk by Suzanne D. Williams is a very good romance story filled with lots of nail biting suspense. Giovanni Cavatelli could not refuse his uncle Vinnie when he asked him to take a couple up for a hot air balloon ride.

Book to short

The book was too short and too predictable. Almost could of told the story myself. I could not write it as well however. It was a surprise as I have read so many of her books and loved them all

Lovely story

I very much enjoyed the story line as it was. It was almost too perfect. There were too few human problems depicted i.e. Sick children, or bad weather that every family has. It is permissible,however, when the story must be brief.

Hard times traveling west...

A fast read of two Amish siblings who are excommunicated. They travel as a married couple on the Oregon Trail. It is a Christian story that shows how God works in ones life. I thoroughly enjoy any books by Vanessa Carvo.

facing the storm on the Oregon trail

It tells of an Amish girl who had a lot of faith in God,Things happen on the trail that lead a non believer thinking she was wasting her time believing in prayers and God.until the end when a storm came Thur destroying things in its path.every one came Thur the storm unharmed,but lots of wagons had blown to pieces by the storm. The non believer saw the miracle God had preformed and he fell down on his knees asking God to forgive him and to save him a good book.

In Gods care..

It shows how people can turn back to Jesus no matter how hard there heart gets...How people can survive with Gods strength...loved the courage of all..

Poorly Written, but interesting Story

Although the storyline is very captivating, the writing is very poorly done. The writer jumps from third person viewpoint to first person even in the same sentence at times. It felt more like a summary than an actual story.

Facing The Storm Along The Oregon Trail

This book was okay to me. It had it's interesting parts and it had it's lost of interesting parts. As soon as I get started on reading the page turning events, the kind of boring parts get thrown in. Maybe it's to make the book a longer read, I have no idea. I'll just give it a three star rating.
