You can find out mordern terms from the Bible by this Reference Book. Of course, the terms are not exactly the same as in the Bible. But the author does a good job to make reference the concept of the mordern terms (e.g.VISA) in the Bible.

Almost every subject you can think of, is listed in this book. Makes looking up subjects for home study, Sunday School, or sermons a breeze. I wish it has a little more to it, because it is such a great tool. I am always referencing it.

This book has helped me find Scripture that relates to modern topics. This book is far from comprehensive, but there's value in that: The book lists only the Bible verses that seem to most strongly relate to each topic. Also, this book is different from a concordance in that each topic may not actually appear in the listed verses' text; context makes the topic clear.

My only criticism of this book is that it doesn't offer enough "See" entries for related topics. When I don't find a topic I'm looking for, I usually start guessing about similar topics under which I might find suitable verses, which can be a little frustrating.

The Williamson County DA, Ken Anderson, has written a book for the layman that helps us understand the complex crime situation and what we can do about it. Living on the border between Williamson and Travis counties this books validates the feelings my wife and I had as to why we moved out of Travis County and the City of Austin. On a more statewide basis he address the media's role in crime, and the legislature's intended amd unintended reprocussions. Also, Ken Anderson highlights criminals like Kenneth McDuff and the other monsters walking in our midst as a result of poor laws. Anderson highlights recent changes to the laws and tells us how we, the people and potential vicitims, can help induce change and keep McDuff in prision until he serves his time in Hell. Written in terms that you and I can understand, he shoots from the hip, but thinks before he does it.

Ken Anderson is known by Texas Adult Probation Officers for his clear explanations of Texas Law in his seminars on criminal justice and his written clarifications of THE CODE OF CRIMINAL PROCEDURE. CRIME IN TEXAS is a detailed,specific and clear presentation of Texas Law and the current criminal justice procedure. It would make an excellent reference guide to any criminal justice class.

Whether you find this book worth the money will depend on whether you think Ben Hogan was the God of Golf (or at least one member of the Trinity). It is a large-format book, and the quality of the photographs (all black-and white) is excellent. I believe they were all taken on the same day, when Hogan allowed Jules Alexander to accompany him. They pretty much just show Hogan at work on the course, and they do capture who he was. The accompanying comments and essays are interesting, but the photographs are the stars of the book. Just make sure you realize that you are getting a series of photographs taken on one day -- this isn't a retrospective of Hogan's career, and there are no swing sequences or anything like that. If you are a Hogan worshipper, however, this book is a must.

This book is appropriately titled. The photos are truly classic and do a wonderful job of portraying the on-course Hogan, particularly his steely focus and gorgeous swing. The accompanying text is solid. I most enjoyed Ken Venturi's comments which accompanied the photos, as well as Dan Jenkin's recounting of the man behind the mystique. I was somewhat disappointed that the photos are all from the late 50s, mostly from the same tournament. Yet, this is only a minor issue. Every true Hogan fan should add this work to his or her collection.

It's rather easy to show, as Anderson does, that some of Ravenscroft's claims are simply incredible. But it's also easy to show, as do several other books much more credible than Ravenscroft's Spear, that Hitler was certainly interested in theory of the occult, while not himself being a committed occultist in practice. This is not uncommon among highly intelligent but somewhat emotionally deranged persons. It's also rather hard to deny, when one reads the words of the man himself, in Mein Kampf and in Rauschning's non verbatim record of conversations, that Hitler was fascinated and influenced by concepts and beliefs which are identifiable with occult theory of history and race, and which can be traced from Blavatsky to Gurdjieff to Crowley. But he was not a follower, but a leader, not a theorist but a pragmatist, and his use and abuse of such ideas was peculiarly his own. No one however can claim that he was original in inspiration.

I have read a number of books on Hitler's supposed fascination with, mastery of, and belief in various occult doctrines. In Hitler and the Occult, Ken Anderson delivers a chapter-by-chapter debunking of many of the theories surrounding Hitler's occultic leanings and gives what appear to be logical explanations for some of his actions which have been taken by some to prove his involvement in the occult. Most of the book is spent deconstructing the theories of Trevor Ravenscroft and reinforcing this deconstruction by attempting to discredit Ravenscroft himself. I have read the main target of Anderson's scorn, The Spear of Destiny, and have to admit that some of Ravenscroft's assertions in that volume seem quite far-fetched and incredible. But between his wilder claims, Ravenscroft does offer the reader food for thought. Anderson dissects his more plausible assertions with the aplomb of an undertaker preparing his umpteenth corpse. The Spear of Longinus, Lanz von Lebenfels, and the Thule Society are all given short shrift. Although it is true that many top Nazis were involved in secret societies and occultic fantasies, that was not uncommon at the time so there is nothing particularly significant about it. Hitler was more of a realist and seems to have had little time for or little patience with such notions. Though one might be tempted to believe that Hitler was controlled by otherworldly forces with which he had made a Faustian bargain, I tend toward Anderson's view that that is all nonsense. Reading this book will help interested persons sort out contradictions in theories of an occultic Hitler and bring them back to earth with a more prosaic view of Hitler's actions and motivations.

I purchased this book this last spring and was to busy to read it, so it sat on my shelf till this weekend. I was in the mood for a good read, I remembered this book, picked it up and didn't put it down till finished. When I bought it, I thought it would be a book that detailed the Nazi involvement with the Occult. As I read it, I began to realize that the book in large part takes issue with a single man's (Ravenscroft) work on the Nazi's and the occult. Ken Anderson does a nice, precise, point-by-point review of Ravenscroft, and his "evidence" about the Nazi involvement with the occult. Anderson points out that Ravenscroft details about his own personal involvement in a raid to kill Rommel in the Second World War were fictitious. From that Anderson builds a case against Ravenscroft's allegations that Hitler was driven by his contact with the "spear of destiny" - a spear that was used to make sure Christ had died. When I finished the book, I was amazed to find that with the substantial evidence in this book, I believe that Hitler was not "driven" by the occult. He was simply evil. Something his young niece realized when she was 17, and shot herself with his .32 Walther.

I have more than a working knowledge of WW2, the events and the history. Last summer I spent two weeks riding around Germany on a BMW motorcycle seeing the WW2 sites. I very much appreciate this book for detailing information I had not known before, and linking it with information that I am quite familiar with. The end result was my belief that Anderson's information is accurate and well told. If you're into the history, you'll love this book.

This book is a wonderful addition to anyone's Bible Reference Collection. As a Sunday School Teacher of 7th and 8th graders this is a wonderful book to help with lessons without being over their heads.

This book smacks of a high school class project done on beer. It is full of inaccuracies, bad advice, and just plain misinformation.

Examples: 1) "Lager is a light beer, yellow in color, translucent, and low in alcohol.......Its name comes from the german word lager, meaning a store or warehouse, because it was originally made in the autumn, stored all winter, and consumed the following spring" (Aside from lumping all lager beer under the American version, this is totally wrong in that lagers were actually brewed in the Winter, and stored through the summer in underground caves, because refrigerators weren't invented yet. In fact, German law forbade brewing from March until September. The last beers were brewed in March, hence the term 'Marzen.')

2) "Bock is a heavy beer, darker in color than lager".... (Bock is a form of lager!)

3) "Ale is heavier and darker in color than lager" (Has this guy tasted Molson?)

4) "By syphoning the beer into the secondary fermentor, you get heavy sediment that lies at the bottom of the primary fermentor." (really?)

5) "If the primary fermentor is too warm, hang a well-tied plastic bag of cracked ice cubes in it." (Want to ruin your latest batch? Try this stupid trick! Aside from the liquid that would be displaced in the fermentor, this is unsanitary, and an accident waiting to happen. This is just plain bad advice.)

I would not recommend this book to anyone, not even a casual beginner, because it will get them off the wrong foot.

This book is easy to read, no long, in-depth chemistry lectures to plow through before getting started. No errors in recipes!! And a variety of flavors - these beers are the best brews I've tasted in a long time. If your tired of the same old brews, try Askim Pale Ale - great summer brew.

A teenager is seduced into gay sex by an older "sophisticated" man. Then he is encouraged to participate in drugs and orgies. An innocent gay is raped and commits sucide because he is gay. Every conceivable negative stereotype of gays and gay life finds its way into this novel. It is propaganda for the religious right, confirming their worst fears. There is nothing here of tenderness, of love, of reality. And this review will not be printed because Amazon (who wants to sell books) will not print a negartive review.

Ken Anderson's novel fully delivers on what the "Barely Legal" short story excerpt promised. If you're looking for a well-written, can't-put-it-down gay page-turner, consider your search over. Here you'll find a sensuous older man-younger man romance complete with hot sensual lovemaking and details of growing up gay in a 1969 South by several characters. Much of the novel's setting is at a huge remote villa overlooking a vast forest-fringed lake. Mr. Anderson is quite adept at setting a mood whether it be the uncertainty about Vietnam facing draft-age males in 1969, a blazing fireplace with bone-chilling cold outside, the rampant 1960s drug use, an almost-drowning or the claustrophobic feel of being buried alive(I could almost literally feel the dirt coming down on me). While applauding Mr. Anderson's depiction of gay life(several worthwhile role models in the book!)in 1969 and taking into account the intelligence, awareness and world travelling of the gay characters, my only complaint is that no mention is made of the Stonewall Riots which predate the novel's opening by barely a month(and the novel's main action is the next 5 months)and which had such a huge impact on gay life. Aside from that one tiny gripe, my advice is buy this book, curl up under a warm quilt and read the night away.

I found Anderson's work disappointing. It is a fascinating topic, but he does not do justice to it, and IMHO, takes the superficial and sensationalist standpoint, a sort of 'Ripley's Believe it or Not' approach. For a scientific analysis of the topic, which is what this book aims to do, Anderson would have to focus a lot more on basic probability and the works of Jung and Koestler, among others, and a lot less on the Linda Goodman types.

I expected more about this book, it's ok but I gift to my mom because is too simple.
Is good for a church leader, but not to an outdoor or team building leader/instructor.
