Intellectually, Fr. Huels is among the leading and most gifted canon lawyers currently living in North America. In this book, Fr Huels applies his canonical genius to the pastoral application of canon law. This book is not so much for the canonist, but for the non-canonist engaged in pastoral ministry. It teaches the basics of canon law, provides a handy glossary of canonical terms, and tells you when you are facing a canonical situation over your head and need to phone a canonist.

In particular, the non-Canonist will find Fr. Huels' treatment of marriage law handy. It outlines in what situations a dispensation is necessary, as well as in what circumstances a proposed marriage is invalid. It also provides a handy canonical reference to other common questions that arise around the celebration of the sacraments -- such as who can be a sponsor for baptism and confirmation.

I highly recommend this book to non-canonists engaged in pastoral ministry who are seeking a handy reference concerning how canon law applies in common pastoral situations.

This is a very fine book, indeed. Spiritual leaders and priests are obligated to know the answers and explain them well. However, aren't priests and spiritual leaders obligated to not just know and explain the answers, but to live them, model them? May I suggest that the true spiritual leaders do not wear Roman collars. Lay people, who are striving to live the life the Church prescribes are the true spiritual models and leaders. They, not just the clergy, would greatly benefit from this book. We, the laity, are not shy or afraid to ask questions and educate ourselves. Buy this book! It is well worth every penny to all practicing Catholics.

This indeed is a tool for the pastors and all incharge in leadership in our churches. Rev. Huels breaks down the doctrine and liturgy, sacraments and explains them abviously from the Canon Law perspective. We live in a times when people are not shy or afraid to ask questions. As priests and spiritual leaders we are obligated to know the answers and explain them well. To have this book on the top of your desk is very handy and helpfull.

An inspirational collection from an excellent essayist. Highly recommended for anyone with an interest in literature.

The answer to the question sophisticatedly raised by this little anthology, is given in the essay which opens the collection.The basic reason lies in forming a personal scale of values that help you individualize the real artistic elements in new works. The second one is that reading increases the quality of living in usual and unusual situations, as well. But the quality of school anthologies and their presentations is still an open problem.

What makes a book a clasic? Borges once said in a conference, that the fact that a whole generation lives with the idea of a book makes it a classic, Calvino involve you in that idea..

Jim Glennon writes about a God-centered approach to healing which can happen either instantaneously or gradually and be applied to both physical and emotional disorders. I strongly recommend this book to anyone interested in this subject.

Written by a man with a well-known healing ministry in Sydney, Australia, this book offers a clear prescription for a successful healing. Glennon states that it is necessary to learn the broad promises of God as revealed in the Bible. It is also important to forgive others unconditionally. Above all, it is essential to have faith. By faith Glennon means a belief that God's promises are received with a resulting healing and that no lingering doubt about it is retained.
Glennon's style is not flashy and the tone of his book will be welcomed by those who are repelled by the overly dramatic antics of some Christian healers seen on television.

Jim Glennon, in this pathbreaking book, enlightens us about one of the most important truths than any of us could ever learn, and this is present reality of the Kingdom of God. More than that, he gives us the practical tools that enable us to make this a transformative force of our lives. Faith is a decision and we can make the power of faith ours by accepting the promises of God by a decision and by affirming that decision as often as needed so that the promises we have by faith we will begin to have in our actual experience. Problems are permitted into our lives by God to make us more dependent upon Him and as we live out that powerful fact, we find that our experience of God is deeper, that we know more of the "joy and peace of believing" and that God's grace causes the problems to melt away. The atoning death of Christ has made all this possible and it is up to us to quietly adopt this vision and experience, over time, the tremendous blessings that come as a consequence. Read this book more than once and apply its message to your life in a persevering way and you will not possibly be disappointed.

Sylvia Woods has produced an set of arrangements of the Pachelbel "Canon" for the folk or lever harp. There are arrangements for both an intermeditate-level and more difficult harp solo, harp duet (lucky you, if you have another harper nearby!), and an arrangement for harp and another instrument like flute or violin. There are two sections - one in the key of D (the Canon was written in D), and one in G. No lever changes. Fingerings are included.

The Canon is quite easy to play, since it's just a repetition of about 8 sets of chords. Once you learn the series of chords, you're 90% there!

This is a great favorite for weddings or other formal occasions (first nights, concerts, etc), so if you plan on playing in public at some point, this is a great piece to add to your repetoire!

As a harp student, I was very surprised to find such a selection of books on the topic at Amazon.

Sylvia Woods is a remarkable player (I recommend her recordings also), as well as being wonderful at composing and arranging music. Pachelbel's Cannon is a simple yet beautiful theme, and well-known. Anyone playing for gigs or just for fun should have it in their repertoire.

The book comes with many variations on the tune, including Easy and Advanced Harp Solos, and a Harp Duet either for two harps or one harp and another instrument. Also, you can play the song in either D or G.

I just wore out my Canon A2 and am in the process of replacing my camera. I am moving up in price and wanted to check out the Canon 1V. When I went to buy the manual on the 1V, they did not have it, so I bought the 1N to see how it rated. I actually found that my A2 (although not as rugged) has some important features that the 1N doesn't have. I shoot a lot of action photography, and the A2 shoots faster. The only advantage (besides the rugged bodystyle) is that you can fine tune it to 1/3 stops up to +/- 3 stops. However, the 1N is more than double the price for the A2. So at this point, would rather seek the EOS 3 or 1V. (Will decide after I read their manuals). The manual is very extensive and a very good resource if you own the camera, and I am sure that anyone that owns this camera is still smiling, because overall is still a great piece of equipment.

Precisely written manual offering tips and procedures for the Canon EOS-1n not given clearly in the manufacturer's manual. I found this manual logically written and easily digested; the last few chapters offer tips on accessories dedicated to the camera and a few words on the RS model.

Pachelbel Canon in D is thee greatest songs ever. It is also a great wedding song.

The music book of Canon in D , created by Johann Paehelbel , the version is Masterpiece Edition.

This PERSIAN (Iranian) Moslem doctor contributed a lot to the medical world specially by his 5 volume text "Canon of Medicine." It's clear and well written and one with enough knowledge of human body and herbs (taxonomy + physiology of plants) can easily follow this book even at this time. It combines Persian, Greek, & Islamic science to creat the most intensive and advanced level of pre-modern medicine. Much more usefull and practical than any other alternative medicine (text.)

I was in search of this book,and i finally find it on Amazon.com.This book describes not only organs,and systems seprately in chapters but emphysis on spiritual & psycological aspect of an individual,which no doubht are equally important.Being a doctor myself i wonder how Avicemia narrates medical knowledge in detail.This is best for every doctor who is interested in the history of medicine,and the contribution of Muslim scientist in this field.

Pastoral ministers are faced with questions and challenges every day and the answers aren't always easy to find. Canon law can provide the answers to some of the most complicated questions, but busy pastoral ministers are often too strapped for time for extensive original research. Kevin McKenna's A Concise Guide To Canon Law offers a clear, concise, easy-to-use reference guide to church law that puts the answers into a convenient, practical, "user friendly" format. This hand reference provides a compact overview of the most important canonical issues facing pastoral ministers today. Arranged by topic, it offers a thorough summary of church law and is complete with reference numbers to relevant canons in the Code of Canon Law. A Concise Guide To Canon Law is an invaluable addition to the pastoral ministry reference shelf and is wonderfully useful introductory guide for students of Canon Law.

This book is not only excellent for its purpose, but it is a wonderful example of the way in which such manuals and guides should be done. The format is clear and concise. It has a Glossary which alone is worth the price of the book! There are indexes and sections on frequently asked questions which will also be of invaluable assistance. Canon Law, like any system of law, can be daunting to anyone not formally schooled in it. Father McKenna knows Canon Law. As a canon lawyer myself, this book makes me realize how extensive his knowledge is. He combines this with his God-given ability to teach and explain, and the reader is so much better for it.

I own this book as well as its companion canon on lunar eclipses. I find them both to be convenient and valuable references whenever I need to find information about past or present eclipses (which I do a lot more often than you might imagine).

What I find most useful are the maps of individual eclipses over a 50-year span and the maps of all total and annular eclipses worldwide over the much longer period of 1901-2100.

This is the definitive book to take to eclipses. Espenak is the eclipse expert for NASA and has all the math and software to generate the tables which make up this canon.

Everything else one hears or reads about where and when the eclipse will be, is just third through twelfth hand recounting and mis-recounting of the information in this book. It is not fun reading - it is a book of tables of numbers.

But careful reading and interpolation with an accurate map (or a GPS) and an accurate watch will get you the exact local time of second and third contacts and the actual location of centerline.

That doesn't seem like such a big deal until one is actually on the ground the day before the eclipse. One had been unconsciously expecting that somebody locally would have all the information, and then you find out that they had been assuming that you, the rich, educated foreigner, would know.

The actual real information is to be found only in this book. Don't leave home for an eclipse without it.

I own this book as well as its companion canon on solar eclipses. I find them both to be convenient and valuable references whenever I need to find information about past or present eclipses (which I do a lot more often than you might imagine).

What I find most useful are the maps of individual eclipses over a 50-year span and the maps of all total and partial lunar eclipses worldwide over the much longer period of 1901-2100.

For anyone seeking data on lunar eclipses during this century and the next, this is truly the right source. Tables listing circumstances of every lunar eclipse from 1901-2100 are given along with maps showing global visibility and diagrams showing the progress of the Moon through Earth's shadows. A more detailed section cover eclipses from 1986-2035.
