I was given this book by a friend and was over joyed with what I found. What a wonderfully simple plan for realizing one's ture realtionship with God. It has validated many beliefs I have held for years. If you like Emmett Fox, Florence Shinn, and C.S. Lewis, you will love How To Do All Things...just be sure you're ready.

I originally read this book in 1970 in a quest for spiritual truth. It has become one of ten of my most favorite books on spiritual truth and guidance, and one I often refer to and recommend or give to others. How To Do All Things is a direct, concise instruction on how to recognize and develop your spiritual nature, and your relationship to God/Spirit. It is precise information and instruction in recognizing who you are, what you are, why you are here, and what to do about it.

I've long been a fan of the Nolo Press legal guides, but when I came across this in a local library, I took it home for a read and was very impressed. In a very readable manner, it explains the various choices; it also has forms and state-by-state information. I'm involved with two groups considering nonprofit status and it brought out many good points we hadn't thought of.

As a fan of self-help legal survival guides, I found this book very helpful. It's simple to read, only about 70 pages defining various types of nonprofit organizations, procedures for getting started and applying for tax-exempt status, and a bit on raising money and running a corporation. The appendices are actually the most helpful, listing websites, books, information on each state's requirements, and a section of forms including templates for annual meeting minutes. Overall, a good book on the basics of starting a nonprofit organization.

This book gave me just what I needed. I needed something to help boost my self-confidence and my knowledge of this process; this book gave me just that. Thanks for a great book on Assessment Centers and helping to show people the right way to prepare.

This book will not only help police and fire personnel, but can help the average person in building their self-confidence and esteem in order to move up the corporate ladder.

If you want to know how to strengthen your immune system, this is the book for you. Every possible means of immune strengthening is looked into and test cases are included.

I have read and reread Mark Konlee's book and have only good things to say about it. It inspires hope and encourages those challanged by AIDS and Chronic Fatigue to take control of their lives. He gives tips on choosing the appropriate physician, one with an interest in the immune system, rather than those physicians who view AIDS solely from a "hit it and hit it hard" point of view. As a Registered Nurse I view this book as very impowering and long needed. I highly recommend it not only to those persons who fail to respond to drug cocktails, but also those who do respond. Immune restoration is vital in both instances.

Mark Herring's Hunter's Realm is an tautly written and exciting science fiction novel about five individuals bound to a common cause, as they are thrust into a quest in a galaxy controlled by the Galactic Mafia and its hidden, unstoppable leader. Fast-paced, action-packed, and thrilling intrigue mark this exotic foray set in the far-flung future. Hunter's Realm is a highly enjoyable scifi, action/adventure read.

Even though I'm not a sci-fiction person, this was one of the best one I have read. I would recommend this book to all the sci-fiction people out there. People Who like Star war, and Star trek, and the other sci-fiction movie's and book's.

This book shows how complex lifeforms came onto the land from the sea. Hypersea does not include bacteria already living on the land, but is defined by the authors as the sum total of plant, animal, protoctistan and fungal terrestrial-based life. The challenges of living on land are discussed in detail - the need to retain water within, the difficulty extracting crucial nutrients, locomotion out of the water, etc. The importance of the fungi in extracting and delivering nutrients to plants, in return for carbohydrates produced by the plants, is considered, and a picture of the interconnectedness of terrestrial lifeforms emerges.

Ok, for those not up on their biology or the Gaia hypothesis, it might be difficult to get through, but Hypersea is well written and fascinating for those interested in knowing how life has and will continue to evolve in more complex ways. An extremely important addition to the Gaia hypothesis. You will never see the world in the same way again.

The Hypersea and Gaia hypotheses are the only two clearly defined scientific theories that have been put forth to give us some answers to questions not asked by most of biology.

...so praised Lawrence Ferlinghetti of "I am Thinking of My Darling", adding "to read it is a little like having a 1940's New York City taxicab in your living room." Why this book hasn't become a popular classic is a mystery to me.

In his 1943 novel, McHugh draws a vivid portrait of sophisticated, urbane city unraveled by a mysterious disease. This epidemic attacks inhibitions: Friends, co-workers, even strangers drop spontaneously hug, celebrate, leave their jobs to pursue long-abandoned fantasies, and have guilt-free and always-safe sex. It's like "The Invasion of the Body Snatchers" in reverse--instead of producing automatons, the intruder recovers your humanity, releases the repressed id, and generally induces a madcap euphoria.

So, what's the problem? If you're protagonist Jim Rowan (a minor planning commissioner soon to become Mayor after the latter runs off to a model train convention), the problems are potentially enormous--maybe the trains don't have to run on time, but they do have to run. As do the hospitals, police department, fire stations, transportations systems, and other essential human services. It also doesn't help when your spouse catches the virus and runs amok in the city.

Part of the genius here is McHugh's mixing of the silly and the sexy with the practical and scientific. There are intelligent discussions of psychiatry, epidemiology, city planning, and philosophy placed with discretion amidst the delirium. And, although it inhabits a particular American past, the book's slightly cautionary hedonism has an admirable egalitarian stance: Men and women share in the equal employment of desire.

This would have made a great movie, with the potential to rival the most intelligent of the screwball comedies. So as you read it, I suggest you imagine your own "movie," casting Jimmy Stewart or Fonda or Grant; Lauren Bacall or Eve Arden, Rosalind Russell or Jean Harlow. Set it in the New York of the Ritz, the Colony, and Sardi's, fill it with the sassy repartee of Bogart and Bacall--or Nick and Nora Charles-- and please, film it in sharp, shimmering black and white: Because they don't make books--or movies--like this anymore!

It's not a classic, it's not even well known enough to have a cult following, but Vincent McHugh's "I am Thinking of My Darling" is about as good a comedic novel as ever has been written. Few books achieve the same level of graceful humor that distinguishes the old Hollywood screwball films of the thirties and forties, but this is one of the few that does. A disease infects the population of New York city; it results in the complete loss of one's inhibitions. People go wild in the streets, doing whatever they want. Thousands leave their jobs and spouses; sexual sprees and non-stop partying are the norm. The novel follows the adventures of the hastily installed mayor, who must impose order to the chaos, even while catching the virus himself. He spends the novel trying to track down his wife, at the same time sexual obliging about half a dozen women, including his beautiful black maid (in a novel written in the forties!). McHugh crams his narrative with a wealth of quirky details, and manages to even sneak in some pathos. I read it with a continual smile on my face. Simply a great book.

This book, if you can find it, is really a must have for the true JD fan. There is quite alot more than just lists of Joy Division concerts and photo. There are some excellent anecdotes and insights from the band members and from thier friends and family, as well as some very well-written and captivating essays by the author. The book is best when the difficult transitions of Joy Division into New Order are shown. When someone asked Peter and Barney before an early New Order show "Where's your singer?" to which they replied "Oh, he's hanging around in the kitchen"

It describes incredibly detailed the birth and the growing up of this great band, a few years almost day-by-day (not to mention the very nice pitures).

"In "The Shadow of the Ladder", brings to the ordinary reader the concepts that the Creator is good and only does good, and that we can help manifest this goodness in our own lives.For me personally in "The Shadow of the Ladder" has changed my life completely.I recommend this book whole-heartily.
From a reader in Jerusalem.

This an excellent book and worth getting for two fine translations of two Introductions (to much more extensive works) by Rabbi Yehuda Ashlag. Rabbi Ashlag is a major Kabbalistic figure in the 20th century. Though the language he uses (and translated into english) is not overly complicated, he uses terms that require elaboration. This is done iin a special section written by the two authors at the end of the book. Once you review this section for a fine and clear explanation of Rabbi Ashlag's terms and concepts, a return to the man in text will be very rewarding. There is another beautiful essay on how learning and practicing Rabbi Ashlag's system has had a trasformative effect on one of the authors. This is a great book and I suggest anyone interrested in Kabbalah and Jewish Spirituality obtain it.

I would like to share what my father, Harry L. Meyer, a B-17 radio operator during WW II, recently wrote me about this book (with his permission): " In the Shadow of the Swastika" is fascinating reading about the exploits of a remarkable individual. Hermann Wygoda was a man of indomitable will who was blessed with courage, ingenuity, resilience and, by his own admission, occasional good fortune which allowed him to escape some desparate circumstances. The horrendous conditions wrought by the ruthless Nazi regime in Poland and wherever it came into power is the stuff of an appalling nightmare. For a man of his ethnic persuasion to escape the suffocating death trap the Nazis created borders on the miraculous. To do so and ultimately become a respected leader of a heroic partisan resistance movement is the material of legends. His normal disposition was not to be a warrior, for I believe by nature and cultural influence he was philosophic, altruistic and tolerant. This is manifested in his just dealings with others even in the trying and dehumanizing conditions of war. I respect him for not passively submitting to his tormentors, but opposing them with determination and fortitude, thereby helping in no small way to defeat them. When the fabric of a decent society is threatened by the forces of an unconscionable tyrrany, it is to be hoped that individuals like Hermann Wygoda will always be there to oppose them. I have always been proud of my combat service in WW II, but by reading works such as this which so graphically portray the consummate evil of a regime that operated outside the scope of human decency, I am more proud than ever to have contributed in some measure to destroy it.

If Wygoda's story wasn't documented, you wouldn't believe it.
"Audacity", he said, "is a prerequisite for survival", and Wygoda had plenty. Escaping occupied Poland, actually travelling into Germany to work under the noses of the Nazis (even those who could "smell a Jew"), and eventually commanding a division of Italian partisans, the author exhibited a rare courage and determination that earned awards from three Allied nations.
His story, written in later life for his children, is recommended for WWII readers, Holocaust students, and anyone else who enjoys true-life action adventures.(The "score" rating is an unfortunately ineradicable feature of the page. This reviewer does not "score" books.)
