Phyllis Barber allows the reader to gain a intimate view of the clash between values of 1950's Las Vegas and her family's vallues of Mormonism. Barber struggles to use her talent of rhythm in a city celebrated for the excesses of entertainment versus her family's definition of proper use of talent within the confines of her Mormon culture. Barber uses the symbolism of marriage to both worlds to best explain the dilemna she is in. To Bobby Jack ( a current boyfriend) marriage meant a wheezing minister, ye

I am a 1991 graduate of UCLA in Russian Studies. After travelling and working at a few different jobs in different fields, I decided I would like to teach high school math. I had no background or classes in education, but an opportunity to interview and a strong desire to get the position. How to Get the Teaching Position You Want! was highkly recommended to me by a colleague as a source that would be of great help in preparation for the upcoming interview. I quickly ordered the book, read it, and did well enough to be chosen for the position after just one interview. I knew I had the knowledge to teach math, but I needed information in order to present myself at my best. I highly recommend the book to anyone, at whatever level or whatever stage of securing a teaching position.

This little 99-page book is the most useful book I have ever read about using time wisely: coping with paper inundation, dealing with interruptions, setting goals, and organization. Part I, Go for the G*O*L*D is by far the most useful 25 pages ever written on setting goals (the G), organizing (the O) those goals, creating a list (the L) of your goals, and doing (the D) what is necessary to accomplish those goals.

This is a perfect, simple, yet effective system for someone starting any business, especially a home-based business where interruptions and temptations abound.

I buy every copy I can find and give them out as birthday, anniversary, end-of-year, and graduation gifts or to friends and clients who are starting their own businesses.

Follow the G*O*L*D and you will be bringing in cash (gold) faster than you can count it, regardless of what enterprise you are involved with.

My daughter loves this book! She reads it over and over! What fun!

I just finished reading Kim and Phyllis Conant's new book, "I Am That I Am", and I feel compelled to talk about my personal experience that happened while reading this great piece of literature! You see, I prayed to God a long time ago, while I was reading the Bible (specifically the book of Revelations)... and I personally read about the Church of Philadelphia. And at this time in my life, I was having some doubts about God's existence in this sometimes cruel world. I prayed to God and this is what I said... "If there is a God, dear Lord, let me find someone from this Church. And Lord, if you do send this person my way... I will know that there is a God and I will always believe in and love You Lord." It was a simple prayer but I never forgot it. And you see, God introduced me to Kim and Phyllis a couple of years ago. And thankfully, they have become dear friends of mine. And I knew instantly, when I first met Phyllis (The Queen Angel of Philadelphia)... I knew that God was talking to ME. He was trying to show me, years after my prayer, that He did in fact exist and that I should finally start living my life the way He wanted it. And to forget about the sinful ways I sometimes picked over His Will. And after reading "I Am That I Am" I realized a lot more about God's will in my life, compared to my own will. This is only my story. But please, feel free to email me if you'd like to know more about how this woman TRULY PROVED TO ME THAT GOD DOES IN FACT EXIST. All I know for sure, is that the spirit of Jesus is alive and well inside both of these two women. God answered my prayers. And I'm sure that if you're seeking God, the Holy Bible, and this book "I Am That I Am" will surely help you find Him. Praise God for all good things! Halleluijah! For HE IS THE GRAND INSTRUCTOR. Please listen to His Will. -Todd Doyle email: doyle_todd@hotmail.com please write if you'd like to correspond with me. Thanks and God Bless you all.

I'm On My Way Running is a compilation of thousands of writings about girls and young women through their changes from adolescence into adulthood. The writings include excerpts from novels, diaries, journals, autobiographies, multi-cultural traditional songs and much more, and most are fairly short (1 to 3 pages). They come from all over the world, and there is something from almost every culture and religion, from times dating back several centuries to writings as recent as the 1970's.

The book starts with the start of puberty and each section contains writings from the next age to the next until the newly grown women are now looking back and seeing how much like their mother they really are.

This book deals with every issue imaginable to a woman, and many unimaginable to most men, and I find it very interesting. I see a pattern that seems to stay mostly the same in these writings, whether the young woman is a rebel or traditional, whether she wants to strike out on her own or be a house-wife. That common thread has to do with a set of values that is passed in almost every culture from mothers to daughters - a set of values few men ever see or hear of, but that women expect men to live by as common sense. This was extremely eye opening to me, and allows me to be more patient with the female race as a whole as well as with myself.

I highly recommend this book to all women who seek a kindred spirit - whatever background you have, I am sure you will find one in one of those writers. I also recommend this to every man who thinks he will ever understand women or wants to try. No one will ever understand a woman as well as herself, and often she won't understand herself either. But this will give you patience, I am sure.

I love this book--A great resource to use to make/meet all connections/steps in Bloom's. Also includes great ideas for 50+ specific topics (Civil War, American Revolution, Early Explorers; Trail of Tears, Salem Witch Trials, Women in History).

Hi, I got this book for my birthday when I was 7 (5 years ago) and I absolutely loved it, and I still love it now! Well I was fooling around trying to find some of the books I'veread and this one popped up! I strongly suggest that you put yourself on a waiting list for this book!!! Thank You BW

I own and have read this book and the previous one "Born to Exile", and have read both several times. Alaric is minstrel who has the unique ability to travel instantly to any place he has already been. But, his real magic is the lyrics and music that touches the heart of all how listens to it. In the novel "In the Red Lord's Reach" he has come into his man hood using his ability to help the people of the north survives. Buy, borrow, or steal it, then read it. Tell your friend to read. Then demand through the publishers, booksellers and Ms. Phyllis Eisenstein to please let Alaric live again in new stories.

This book is a very interesting book that i just enjoyed reading. it helped me realize a lot in how children use their minds and how one little experiment can go along way with teaching them their reading and writing skills. most kids that age want to be the best one in class in everything, and as they kept challenging themselves, they kept getting better at their inquiry skills. i recommend this book to any teacher out there that may seem to be looking for an experiment to try or get some ideas on how to get the children to become better in their writing and listenign skills.
