Fr. Champlin has taken an innovation by Pope John Paul II and made it accessible to the devotion of those who walk the Way of The Cross in Lent. Basing each Station of The Cross on the passage from Scripture that covers the entire Passion and not just beginning at the condemnation and ending at the entombment this work takes on the character of "Lectio Divina". We are called to enter into the Scriptural passage and meditate on its implications for us.

The Stations of the Cross with Pope John Paul II is a version that uses the modern Biblical stations with a 15th station, the resurrection. My personal bias is that the 15th station in inappropriate during Lent, that the resurrection should not be celebrated until the Triduum Easter vigil.

This version in terms of gesture and music is one of the more traditional versions. It assumes a communal celebration with Leader, Reader and "All". Each station begins with a short responsory and genuflection, the reader proclaims a scriptural passage related to the station, all kneel and the leader reads a short meditation applying the suffering of Christ at the station to our lives, the people respond with a short psalm excerpt, all stand and sing a verse of the Stabat Mater. Each station is accompanied by a line drawing.

· Street Smarts is an "easy read."
· You deserve to enjoy a fulfilling life,
if you decide to make it happen. This book shows how!
· This book offers many great ideas for more
happiness at work, at home, and even on the
highways, where others only experience "Road Rage."
· Although others may discourage you from trusting your instincts, Street Smarts supports some of your long held hunches about what's right for you.
· Dr. Blythe begins with an idea that hell is right here on Earth-created unwittingly by generations of well-meaning people. Thus,
nobody can be blamed! You decide if this is a fact or just a figure of speech.
· Yet, Paul, as he is know to his friends, walks us through a virtual minefield of potential suffering, as people struggle with their faulty "user manuals" for living. Page by page, he offers alternative ways of seeing "what's real" and what's not.
· He ends on a topic of effective helping, because we often suffer other people's discomfort. For Paul the real test of any idea is in our living.
· Make your fulfillment your top priority.

Paul has certainly made Street Smarts an easy and worthwhile read. Without cluttering the pages with nonsense and jargon, Street Smarts empowers you with the tools to make a difference in your own life.

If you want a book that talks to you straight, this book is highly recommended.

Street Smarts walks you through the common traps of life and opens logical, but easily overlooked, doors to going past them. You can feel Paul with you on the journey and get a real sense that he cares.

Simple and enlightening, just as life should be. Well worth the effort.

I loved this book, kept it right by my bedside for easy access and reread pertinent chapters. I felt more comfortable about my pregnancy knowing what was happening to my body and my baby. I especially enjoyed the detail in which the author described conception and the subtle changes which occur in the mother's body. With this edition, I can now share it with my Spanish speaking friends. ¡Gracias!

Creo que es uno de los libros mas completos que hemos visto. Mi esposa y yo lo leemos semana a semana para ver cuales son los cambios, tanto en ella como en el bebe. Lo recomiendo con los ojos cerrados!!!

A great song, a great painting, an inventive way of putting them together. All of Dylan's greatest songs should be given this kind of treatment.

A thoroughly original concept brilliantly executed. Ensor and Dylan might seem like an odd pairing, but by the time one has finished enjoying this book, s/he will have gained insights into both of the artists and the works that probably could not have been conveyed in any other way. A pleasant surprise from a museum not known for originality or creativity. The Getty should publish more titles as memorable as this one.

It's a good book to get started on this very technical subject.

Even if the book is easy to read it doesn't mean it is plain. It is interesting and it has a good structur. Some books like this end up as dry catalogues; this one does not. It gave me ideas. It sent out to the bookshelf to check up details. ("Is that really so. Never thought about it.") And if you don't need it, but have interests in the topical neighbourhood; just buy it. It's nice to read in when you are tired of equations or algorithms in chemistry. Or if you end in a good chair with a cold and wants to do something useful in chemistry, which is not too strenuous.

I agree with the summary below except to say, "there needs to be an instructor or tutor to pronounce the words correctly."

This book is a quick and easy tool for ADULT refugees and immigrants who must learn English to survive in the United States. It incorporates vocabulary, syntax, writing, and culture in each module; and users are practicing simple dialogues from the first lesson. The drawings and exercises are practical and reinforce the principles of the lesson. Unlike other ESL (English as a Second Language) books, this one is geared toward adult learners, rather than children or traditional students. Don't expect a grammar book, this one teaches English exactly as it says in its subtitle: English Through Conversations. Two cautionary notes: Users must be able to recognize and write the letters of the English alphabet to get started on solid footing, and, to get the most out of this book, there needs to be an instructor or tutor to correctly pronounce the words.

I received my copy of the copy of the GS 750 and GS 550 Owners Workshop Manual 1976 -1982. The book does not contain any information on GS 750 models later than 1979, (16 valve TSCC engines) as the book title would indicate. However the book contains many good illustrations and technical information in general. The illustrations on CV carburator repair and adjustment are very good. The book could use some updates and some better troubleshooting tips,but don't hold your breath.

I'm the original owner of an '82 GS750E. I've always had a copy of this in my shop. Step by step instructions on nearly every possible procedure. Extremely useful.

I had to read this book when I was in High School. It only took me 2 days to read it and I still love to read it from time to time. My experience in the woods helped me understand How Cam and Bucky was one with nature. I could also relate to Bucky entering into manhood and being a "loner" from the towns continual harassment and thoughtlessness of a family that was one of the last pioneers. Bucky and Cam's love for the wild geese shows pride and respect for Indian lore. They fought for what they thought was right and stuck to their guns no matter what the consequences. An excellent book that every young reader should read as well as adults. The movie "Those Calloways" did a true injustice to a magnificent story. Don't judge the book by the movie.

My first exposure to this book was my father telling me that it was one of his favorites back in the early 60's. In 1965, Walt Disney decided to turn it into a motion picture ("Those Calloways"), which starred Brian Keith, Vera Miles, Brandon DeWilde, and a VERY young Linda Evans. While the movie was a little above the typical Disney movie of the day (it was more of a drama than others from the studio at that time), it still contained some of that well-known Disney sappiness, especially towards the end, where the movie takes a side track as compared to the book.

The book centers around Cam Calloway, a man living in a small New England town in the early part of the 1900's, and his mid-teenage-years son Bucky. Through the situations in the novel, it focuses on the relationship between the two, as well as Bucky's growing relationship with close family friend Bridie Mellot.

While I won't divulge any of the info here, the movie (occasionally on the Disney Channel from time to time), and the book, stay pretty much in step with one another, with only minor differences--UNTIL the end, where the movie takes a Disney-influenced hard-left turn from the book.

No matter how you look at it--book or film--it's worth tracking this one down, for a good, old-fashioned, coming of age story. And, if you're an outdoors person of the camping/hiking/hunting sort, then it should be all the more of an interesting night or two of good reading.

I live in Tucson, Az and for a year when I was much younger (19), I lived in Israel. I also think this is a good look at the idea of Aliyah or moving to Israel to live. T'shuvah gives a good look at the life living in Israel for an American, whether religious or not, and of course, the trials and tribulations of that move. The intertwining of the family drama, and coming from basically a non-religious backround to an orthodox Jewish marriage, and then too Israeli style orthodox was well done. I enjoyed this book.

Not knowing what the title meant beforehand, I was pleased to find the book thoroughly enjoying. I have been to Israel and I could certainly understand how the wife fell in love with Israel, as I also did. Before finishing the book, I thought the husband would be the one to want to stay in Israel so there was a bit of surprise there.

Who better is there than Paul McIlhenny to write a Tabasco Sauce cookbook? The recipes in this book are simple to prepare and tasty. I just made one of the omelette recipes featured in this book. It consisted of four ingredients, one of which (beer) I never imagined I'd put in an omelette. It was great and took five minutes to pull together. Some other recipes worth trying are "Zydeco Green Beans", "Potato, Artichoke & Leek Soup" and "Walter McIlhenny's Chili".

McIlhenny includes alot of interesting Tabasco-usage tips. For example, he recommends adding a drop to a glass of cola. After my beer-in-the-omelette episode, I'm willing to try Tabasco in my Coke. He includes alot of Tabasco history and Tabasco trivia which I could have done without. But, overall, this is a pretty good cookbook. I just wish the space taken up by history and trivia had been used for more recipes.

This cookbook utilizes Tabasco sauce in all the recipes, but they are not all firey hot. Rather, this cookbook uses Tabasco like a spice or flavoring agent, to add dimension to all kind of recipes.

I highly recommend this to anybody that likes good food and likes their food to have flavor instead of just heat.
