I would recommend this text book to anyone who is interested in selling advertising time for Radio, Television, or Cable broadcasters. It is mandatory reading for all new Account Executives on my Sales Staff.

A slow read about moral dogma and Masonry. Mr. Newton, an ordained Minister, attempts to explain the moral teachings behind Masonry. Accurate in most of his explanations, but a bit dry. Does a good job of showing Masonry as a support of morality and benevolance in society. Correct in information, dry in presentation. But at least it is correct, unlike most Masonic books. A must read for the Masonic collector.

This is the story of Herman and George Brown and the engineering and construction firm, Brown & Root, they founded. From humble origins in Central Texas building roads with a team of mules to much larger projects such as damns, military installations, ship building, offshore platforms and industrial plants. The book is not about the history of Brown and Root, but rather focuses on the lives of both brothers and their political and philanthropic activities. The book shows the relationship between the brothers and an up and coming Congressman from Texas in the 1930's, Lyndon Johnson. The book chronciles the parallel rise of both the Brown brothers' company and Lyndon Johnson in the national and international scene. The book shows the Brown brothers as movers and shakers in Houston politics and how they helped shape the growing city in the 1940's and 50's. A good book for anyone interested in construction as well as the history and poltics of Texas.

An excellent and well-written book about two great founders of yeshivos, Reb Aharon Kotler and the Ponevizher Rav. What's surprising to us (but not to them) is Teller's third choice, Frau Sarah Schenirer, founder of the Bais Yaakov network of yeshivos for girls.

Teller makes every possible effort to relate only what is historically verifiable, but admits, "the downside of all this is that some preconceptions may be shattered by the informations in the forthcoming pages, for like zucchini, myth has a long growing season in the lore of gedolim."

This is no defensive hagiography. When a "right-wing" figure like Hanoch Teller can have such wonderful self-confidence, we are indeed emerging into some sort of Renaissance.

start with #1 "THE DEATH MERCHANT" and keep on truckin'. rosenberger is the master of this genre.

Excellent text for discussing intermediate level business ethics dilemmas and providing a perspective from which to base arguments for or against a position.

This is the first book on the subject of catholic martyrs I've read. What caught my interest was the fact that these where people who lived in these times. The personal stories of people who actually knew these martyrs is tremendous.

I would recommend this book to anyone who has an interest in learning about catholic martyrs of the church who lived there lives as we all should.

Joe Malham comes off as someone who knows what he is talking about. I can't wait to read his next publication.

Excellent! Excellent! Excellent!

An interesting play. Three acts, one by each author. All take place in one day, on the same beach. Same three actors in each scene, but different characters. The first scene is dramatic, but slightly confusing. The second is light and humorous. The third, by Terrence McNally, is quite good - very poigniant. In all, a good play - I'd be interested to see it performed.

Second volume of Spurgeon's massive biography is actually an edition edited by Banner of Truth (the full unedited original is published by Pilgrim Press). It is excellent. Full of numerous anecdotes, sermon extracts, letters, and data written by Spurgeon, Susannah Spurgeon (his wife), and Joseph Harrald (his secretary), this book was a real treasure to me.

It commences where volume one left off, near the building of the Metropolitan Tabernacle, where for thirty years Spurgeon heralded the gospel of Christ to thousands. Many aspects of his life are broadly covered, including his literary efforts, the pastors college and other institutions, information regarding his home, his trips to Mentone, France, his numerous afflictions, and the Down-grade controversy. Much of this book is fun and delightful, all of it interesting - at least, to a Spurgeon fan.

A friend of mine is a big fan of the author and he turned me on to Cab Driver. I reluctantly bought it, and read it on the way to a business meeting in Chicago last month. Let me tell you, this guy is out of his mind brilliant! The book details the life of Robert Joseph Bigos, a white trash hick growing up in the ghetto projects of New York City. His father was a radical Jewish Islamic supporter who was killed in a mugging at Madison Sqaure Garden. His mother was a women with one arm who struggled to work as a waitress in an NYC diner. Bigos lashes out at the world and insults everything from Doctors (Bigos believes he has found the cure for cancer but every doctor he talks to has never heard of it and gets in an arguement with him), to teenagers, even the Pope! Bigos motto "everyone is wrong...except me". He talks about how in 10 years the USA will be no more than a Nazi totalitarian state, and that the only good musician these days are the Dixie Chicks. This individual is clearly disturbed, but the book makes for a great read. Let me tell you...you do not want to get in this guy's cab!
