Far, far better than the movie - more menacing, more redemptive, more disturbing.
In both movie and book, Phil's withering masculinity is at once incandescent and pathetic. It is the character of Peter, mystic, mysterious, and reptilian, that the movie shorts. In the book there is a deep, untold darkness coupling Peter and Phil before the movie's first frame. This is a sinister tale of misidentified prey and predator. ~ Reviewed by Efton Jiles

This is the poetic and scholarly 1972 translation that is the reference illumination of the Chinese text. It is still considered the most accessible translation of this often-enigmatic text in the English language. Gia-Fu has been called “the Taoist rogue.’ He translated for Alan Watts, who called him "the real thing," during the early years of Eastern spiritual awakening in the US, and was in communion with Jack Kerouac and the Dharma bums – in addition to earning a master’s degree in international finance at The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. His calligraphy is legendary and Jane English’s photographs are ... Tao. ~ Reviewed by Efton Jiles

Perfect gift for someone yearning for the blessings of the Gospels - but tired of and confused by Big "C" Christianity. Jefferson actually took scissors to his bible and cut out what he considered not to be the honest teachings of Jesus. Gone is the supernatural, the political, the evangelical. What remains is love and service. The introduction by Dr Church is revelatory of Jesus and also of Jefferson. ~ Reviewed by Efton Jiles

Delightful classic of family humor in an exotic setting. Better in print than the excellent PBS Masterpiece Theater adaptation. Chuckles, smiles, the occasional tear. Perfect antidote for our clouded times. ~ Reviewed by Efton Jiles
