Inspiration
Church on the Hill will give anyone that reads it an inspiration about God and how powerful he truley is. And anyone that will allow him into their life will find a certain feeling of fullness in their life. So many people walk in life without God, and Steven Pridemore will make you think twice about whats important and hopefully return the reader to God.

Sincerly,

Christina Brown

The McGraw-Hill Pocket Guide to Business Finance: 201 Decision-Making Tools for Managers
Published in Hardcover by McGraw-Hill (1992)

Wonderful resource for financial and non-financial pros
The 201 tools contained in this small, highly useful book range from Acid Test (doing a quick ratio of financials) to Z-Scores. Each tool is listed alphabetically, its use explained, and instructions on how to use it is provided. What I particularly liked is the worked examples that accompany each tool.

As an IT consultant who specializes in service delivery this book is not one I would normally include in my professional library. I was introduced to it when a colleague and I were writing a white paper on recovery management. We were searching for a way to link business imperatives to justification for investment in recovery strategies. We found one piece of the puzzle in this book - the Altman Z-Score. This tool predicts whether or not a company is likely to enter into bankruptcy within one or two years. This led to the development of a copyrighted model that addressed survival level objectives, and also became a key part of the Tarrani-Zarate Information Technologies Management Model. All this from a single entry in a small book!

Aside from discovering a relatively obscure, but important, tool I also found other useful tools in this book. Because I am not a business consultant or financial expert the tools were like a cram course in financial management for non-financial people. For example, I was able to apply some of the tools to personal financial matters - the real costs of a loan become quickly apparent when you compute them. I was also able to employ some of the tools to conduct realistic cost/benefit analyses, examine trade-offs supporting approaches to projects, etc. In this respect this small book has significantly improved my professional skills and has inspired me to read other books on financial management.

I strongly recommend this book - collection of tools really - to anyone who deals with finance, anyone who has P&L responsibilities, and business and IT consultants. The latter group will find this book to be invaluable for developing proposals, deliverables and project plans that add value.

SO HARD TO LEAVE THE FORTUNES
I have loved following the Fortune family through all six books. I feel like I know them all so well and hate to come to the end of this series. I will just have to start all over with Book #1 and rediscover Brazos and his sons and daughter all over again!!

A wealth of practical and workable strategies!
I having read this book, I found it to contain a wealth of practical financial strategies. This book contains information of great use for everyone, both those in and out of the financial planning field. It was of great use to me in developing a financial plan specifically tailored to my situation. I am just thirty and this book provided me a paved road map of how to achieve financial security with limited risk. What more could one look for in a book?

I highly recommend this book and its upcoming revisions.

A MUST BUY for the future Internist
This book is the Bible of Internal Medicine. Anyone considering a career in medicine should have this book in their library. Comprehensive and well written, it is the gold standard of medical textbooks.

Harrison's keeps being an authority in medicine
This book is a medical tradition, and it is as important to doctors as their stethoscope.
It is very complete, there is no doubt about it. Every subject of medicine is covered, and for a reference book is a must-have. It is also written in an easy-to-read way, but some chapters are more difficult to understand than others, and like a good meal, in excess it can get heavy and occasionally become a brick, so slow-reading is advised. Also worth to mention are the atlases, that give a lot of pictographic information.
I would recommend it only as a reference book, because for the USMLE, or as a course textbook, it is impossible to read it all, especially if time is scarce.

Warning Signs
Published in Audio Cassette by Brilliance Audio (2002)
Authors: Stephen White and Dick Hill
Amazon base price: $73.25
Average review score:

Fast Paced Thrills
This was my first ever Stephen White book, and it will not be my last. White is a talented writer who intricately weaves psychology, suspense and a richly plotted story into one cannot put down book.

This story revolves around two high school aged kids plotting revenge on the justice system that has let them down. Alan Gregory, the psychologist and narrator, is brought in with the PD to help solve the murder mystery of the town's DA. His wife, just off maternity leave and also working for the DA, also gets involved in the investigation because the DA was her boss, and the prime suspect is a police chief in the town (Boulder.) There is so much more to it, but other reviewers also detail the story so I will not do so.

Suffice it to say that if you want an edge of your seat, psychological thriller this book is a great choice. It weaves in issues that are prevalent in today's society in an intelligent, not overly preachy and interesting way. This book raises interesting moral questions throughout -- that will spark some intellectual thinking about how our society operates when it comes to justice, crime and punishment. Do punishments fit the crimes? Is society too reactional and not proactive enough?

For a thought provoking book you will not be able to put down -- this is a sure fire hit...

A FIRST-RATE PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLER
Author cum psychologist Stephen White well knows how to plumb the depths of the human mind, excising the malevolence of which mankind is capable. As evidenced in "The Program," White's prose is swift, dextrous, and his plotting expertly paced.

The tenth novel to spotlight clinical psychologist Alan Gregory, "Warning Signs" is a shocking yet fascinating thriller. The brutalized body of Boulder County District Attorney, Royal Peterson, is found, and a homicide detective is soon thought to be the murderer. Violent as the crime was, what strikes even closer to Gregory's heart is the fact that his wife used to work for Peterson and is considering defending the accused detective.

In the midst of this turmoil Gregory sees a new patient, Naomi Bigg, an obviously frightened mother. What is she afraid to confront? And, what is Gregory's responsibility regarding doctor/patient confidentiality if he believes other lives are at stake? He is torn as he attempts to help his patient, and watches a series of violent episodes tear the city apart. Perhaps only he can unlock the secrets buried in the dark corners of a criminal mind.

"Warning Signs" is compelling and frightening - a first-rate psychological thriller.

One of the best thrillers I have read in a long time.
Stephen White has written a thriller that you just can't put down. I throughly enjoyed this book. Alan Gregory, the psychologist, has a dilemma in the ethical patient/doctor confidentiality when Noami Bigg relates some information that could result in the loss of lives, one of which could be his own wife, Lauren. The twists and turns as he tries to make a decision as to what he should do will keep you reading to the last page.

I will defintely get more of Stephen White's books to read after this one.
