This book contains original paintings by Ian Marshall which include the Warrior, the Monitor, the Olympia, the Maine and various other amazing renditions of Pre-Dreadnought ships.

The story of Peter Marshall, his life and work, this record of unequaled love and faith has brought inspiration to thousands, "A glowingly Christian book."

. . .of the 20th century!

In this volume, lovingly penned by his wife, the late Catherine Marshall, the greater Christian world is introduced to one of the foremost Protestant ministers of the 20th century.

Peter Marshall was an immigrant from Scotland who, at a young age, felt the call of God on his life. From this call, he never wavered. This biography details his life, his struggles as a young pastor, and his eventual triumphs as the pastor of New York Avenune Presbyterian Church in Washington, DC and his appointment as Chaplain to the United States Senate.

Throughout we're given glimpses of Dr. Marshall's wit, his humor, his zest for life -- and his devotion to his God. His untimely death at 46 was a great loss to the Christian community.

As an additional bonus, several of Dr. Marshall's prayers and sermons can be found in this book as well.

A wonderful, inspirational read.

Five stars.

This book is wonderful! I'm in my teens and love to read everything from biographies to fiction books. A Man Called Peter is one of my favorites. Catherine Marshall's writing is so down to earth and personal you begin to feel as if you know this Man Called Peter as a friend. My little brother was read this book when he was six years old and a year later he still talks about "Enormous" Peter and Wee Peter, the father and son in the book. This book is one of his favorites, too.

I am scientist at the European Patent Office. I do not often read very popular books but came accross that one. It succeeds in explaining many things easily, however it is very inaccurate and unreliable, there is an average of one fatal, major mistake per page, both concerning the interpretation, or the history of the experimental sciences, etc. The book has also very strong New Age bias in its use of modern physics, etc. It may be recommandable for New Agers, but for other readers I would rather recommend searching another book, I assume there are some reliable introductory books on the market.

If on one hand as I was saddened by all the mistakes in the book, on the other hand I found some funny (e. g. that the medieval scientists believed that the planets and stars were alive or inhabited by gods, etc.)

I recieved this book on a Tuesday. I couldn't stop picking it up until Friday. Even now I still have it out on my desk. This isn't the type of book that you'll want to read from front to back at one sitting. Its a good reference book and an outstanding introductory book to not only the new style of physics, but physics in general.

The meat of the book does exactly what it says, it introduces the reader to the most advanced scientific principles of today. However, what I became even more interested in, (although I was plenty interested in the new ideas) was the epistimological difference between newtonian physics and quantum physics. In sparked in me an interest into the philosophy of science.

The length of the definitions of the ideas range from a half a page to three and a half pages. There is somewhere around 200 different "new ideas" of science that it introduces. All the definitions are written well with exceptional clarity, (which I was glad to see because I would of been lost otherwise.)

Reading this book has reawakened an interest in me to learning about math and physics. Though the book does not delve into the mathematics of the topics discussed, it provides a clear, well-sculpted image of each, meant for the lay-reader. It is particularly exciting to me because the ideas explained in "Who's Afraid of Schrodinger's Cat?" are revolutionizing the way that humans view their world, their perspective in it, and, as is necessary to address at such a philosophical level, our possible purpose for being in it. The resulting conclusions from comtemporary physics are profound and inspiring, presented in this book, fittingly, in a non-linear, or 'quantum', fashion, so that the reader is brought to an understanding of the ideas presented by the greatest scientific minds of our century with an open mind leaping at the possibilities and thought-provoking implications of it all. This book makes a great introductory gate-way to its subject and a very convenient reference work (for the second read that is virtually necessary and equally profound). I am eager to explore other works by the authors.

One of my favorite pasttimes is hiking, and I have always wanted to try the whole Appalachian Trail . . . I also have a degree in English from Penn State, so when I heard that a PSU professor had written a book on my two favorite subjects, I just had to have it. Anybody who has hiked the old mountains of the mid-atlantic can appreciate the vivid descriptions and thoughtful insights that Story Line offers. One of my favorite parts of the book postulates a meeting between Thoreau and Melville, noting how the shapes of the mountain near Melville's home looked like a whale, noting similarities of otherworks, and knowing that the two men did, indeed, hike the same path. If you like the outdoors and have a passion for literature, this is money well spent!

the central thesis of the book;that spiritual intelligence constitutes a holising agency uniting each individual self in the in 'ground of being'(-that from which our existence derives),is thoughtfully proposed in various contexts of understanding.zohar is very lucid when divulging the scientific revelations of quantum physics and its relation to models of the self,these insights get related to the brain and the nature of consciousness in liberating ways,ways which further the arguments proposed in the quantum self and the quantum society in light of new evidence.she speaks of this era being particularly spiritually dumb and appeals to a need to see each individual in the context of the cosmos itself.this book is essentially about shifting our viewpoint from our individual selfs to the eternal identity of everything itself.she speaks very efectively about the nature of suffering;my one worry is that the book appear to the buyer as just another 'self help' book promising this result and that.sq is nothing of the sort.its theme demands that one let go of the confines of the ego,and thereby its selfish wants for personal happiness.it isn't offering a cure for suffering,it is offering a way of accepting suffering, of learning to grow from it.in fact the very uniting with the larger identity of the cosmos demands a certain letting go of the little self and an accepting of what IS,rather than what could have been.her exploration of spiritual intelligence in relation to different personality types is again very insightful,but viewed in the wrong way could lead the intelligent reader into thinking danah is offering just another 'improvement fad'.i strongly recommend that one reads the quantum self first,because this makes sq all the more richer and allows the reader to become aqainted with danahs motives and imperatives,ensuring that the reader doesn't dismiss her claims without due consideration.a fabulous book!

Spiritual Intelligence is a concept whose time has come. It will soon be bursting upon our present scene making a powerful impact. This cutting edge Book by Zohar and Marshall will change the way of our thinking of psychology and education, to family values and personal identification.

This Book brings together four specific streams of research speaking to the discovery of the God Spot, the relationship between IQ. EQ and SQ, the new MEG (magneto-encephalographic) technology and the evolution of symbolic imagination.

Spiritual Intelligence can be used to wrestle with problems of good and evil, life and death, the deepest origins of human suffering and often despair. It is universal with no cultural, ethnic or religious ties. Spiritual Intelligence is not a program, or a technique or a psychology. It is rather a life style. The good news is, it comes from the bottom and moves up. We do not have to wait for some program to come down from above. It is already here waiting to be discovered, used and shared by everyone and with everyone.

As the Author of "The Spirituyal Intelligence Handbook" I found this approach different but confirming. SQ research is the pioneer concept for this century. Zohar and Marshall's "Spiritual Intelligence" with be a foundation book for our time.

Reading the New Golden Bough was one of the most significant experiences of my youth. That book showed the remarkable similarities in the cultural stories and myths across cultures. From reading these perspectives, one arrives at a more fundamental understanding of the relationship between humanity and nature, people and community, and people with themselves. Reading SQ Connecting with our Spiritual Intelligence left me with a similar feeling. I thought that the opening quotes for the chapters were especially well designed to draw one into the points the authors wanted to make. I got a new sense of how nothingness can provide meaning (such as the hole in the middle of the wheel that allows it to be connected to the source of power). As someone with a very modest knowledge of psychology, I enjoyed the sections that integrated psychological and religious thinking about the meaning of life. There is a part of the book where you can take personality tests and help focus on the questions that will allow you to make your spiritual journey. As someone who has been a meditator for some time, I was fascinated by the reports of research on how vibrations provide wholeness in the brain. Certainly, that's what it feels like when I am meditating. I especially like books that provide a new perspective on something that I have been thinking about a lot. I found the questions for spiritual progress to be quite interesting. They certainly caused me to shift my attention in new ways that will undoubtedly lead to new learning. I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in more self-awareness, particularly aimed at getting in touch with one's real nature. If you work in a business, you might also enjoy Rewiring the Corporate Brain, also by Danah Zohar.
