Daniel Raeburn

I was provided with a copy of this book from the publisher through edelweiss for review.

This book is so full of emotion. It takes place over quite a few years, although the timeline isn't always exactly clear. Now, I'm only 18, and have never been pregnant or lost a child, however for years now I have been terrified that something like this will happen to me. Why? Because it happened to my parents. My mother miscarried three times before finally having me, she's never talked too much about it, but she was told she couldn't have children, but my parents tried anyways. They tried and they failed, again and again, one pregnancy lasted about 20 weeks. I have three brothers and sisters all older than me that i'm grateful for, because without them I wouldn't exist.

During this entire book all I could think of was how much I want my mom and dad to read this, how I think it would help my mom get some sort of closure shes never been able to have.

I didn't cry during this book, but I read it with a heavy heart and I really, really enjoyed it.… (altro)

The Imp? - The Holy Book of Chick di Daniel K. Raeburn

Basically two parts, the first being the story of Jack Chick and his comics. This is interesting but is marred by Raeburn's snarky tone. The second part includes all the main themes of Chick's work with explanations of each, and it redeems this publication to a great extent. The odd thing is that Chick, who spewed so much hate in his comics, comes across as a deluded but fairly nice guy in personal accounts of those who have met him.

The Holy Book of Chick with the Apocrypha and… di Daniel K. Raeburn

An excellent reference for anyone obsessed with the Jack Chick religious tracts, this handy guide includes a full history of the Jack Chick publications, a handy dictionary for common terms and characters, and is even shaped like an over-sized Chick Tract to make you feel more at home. A must have for those concerned about eternal damnation or fascinated by odd religious comics.
