I learned a lot by reading this book. I know well how to use excel now and I did very well in class

I just wanted to say how much my senior high youth group enjoyed this curriculum on Forgivenss. They loved the games and the discussions. I loved the the way its broken down so that they can understand and enjoy each lesson. I have tried many other curriculums but this is one they really enjoyed.

This is a really cool bit by Darwin, who spent some serious time observing earthworms. He made his friends help him sometimes too, it seems. Ninety-five bucks is a lot of money though. Check a univerity library or something and Xerox it.

I have not actually gotten a chance to read the book yet, but I hope to soon. My grandfather is the author of this book, and I would just like to say how proud I am of him. He has been working so long at this and it is now published and on the market. He is by far the most intelligent person I know when it comes to our faith. I have looked up to him for many years, and my grandfather has taught me so much. He has had a big hand in helping my dad teach me to be a man, and for that I thank him. I am just so proud.

Captivating! This is an accurate and vivid account of the day to day and year to year activities associated with the early American fur trade era. Pick up any book on this subject and you will find that this book is used as a reference. Larpenteur spent much of his time at the Fort Union trading post in present day Montana where the Yellowstone River empties into the Missouri. This is his story of how the actual trading was carried on, relationships with the Indians and resulting battles that oftentimes would occur, along with the inner relationships amongst the fur companies and military, the hardships which had to be overcome, etc. He shouldered heavy responsibilities and it is apparent that at times he would get somewhat down on himself for not accomplishing or meeting his goals. If he were alive today, he would see that his journal would erase all those self doubts and misconceptions that he had of himself. A great book.

This book will be of interest to those engaged in Chinese philosophy and Ch'an or Zen meditation practice. Swanson writes very well on an unquestionably difficult topic, presenting one particular slice (Two Truths Theory) of that great Buddhist systematizer, Chih-I.

China was a hotbed of sutras, treatises, and meditation practices in the Sixth Century. Zen practitioners will note that this was the time of the Third Patriarch, Hui-Neng. The most attractive feature of this presentation is that the reader gets some good looks at Chih-I's source material, the totality of Buddhist ideas and attitudes that prevailed in China at that time. The mechanical differences between the views of Hinayana and Mahayana on the same subjects are discussed in ways that are both convincing and thought-provoking.

You read this book with a marking pen in your hand. When you think you have "grokked" the text, you flip to the marvelous "system" charts in the back o! f the book for the summary look.

Meditators will easily recognize the sources of their methods in the many concepts presented.

I was familiar with the book before I bought it. But had I know it was so profound in its simplicity, I would have purchased it many years ago.

Prasad does not have a hidden agenda. He just presents his case is a clear logical form. No dogma, no bias, just very well thought out and logical.

If you are interested in TRULY knowing where ALL the world's religions came from, in a no nonsense format, and are willing to put away your bias for the truth, then please consider this book.

BEWARE, it is not for the feeble minded! Prasad forces one to think about who they are and where they "came" from. Not an easy task to swallow for most, especially the dogmatists.

Author wastes no time to bring you in as one of his men once in Korea. His prose flows exactly how jarheads communicate to each other, what they thought of [post WW2] Harry Truman's WAR,...the Corps and any other extraneous subject matter. He even takes you on his brief R&R to a pastoral Japanese locale. Albeit, the author"s prose is profane, yet in essence, it is pure and typical Marine lore to anyone who wants to recall the precipitious Eastern Front battlefield at the Punchbowl, while continuing on to the bloody, murderous sieges for the rat-infested combat outposts on the Western Front. The combat actions are vivid and varied; however, just being there, reduces the doubt, how it is to being an enlisted Marine at WAR..., which just wouldn"t go away. If you want a view of that maelstrom, this is the book for you. C. S. Crawford pens the TRUTH of how it is to be a Marine grunt up to his eyeballs in mortal combat against a resolute and inscrutable enemy....there was a slogan in WW2 times: "Is this trip necessary?" Well, this book is just that. "THE FOUR DUECES" is a 5 star reader.
