How to approach God in Prayer
I was led to this book after listening to Dr. Youseff on the Bible Answer Man broadcast. To listen to that interview - go to Equip.Org. - click on the Bible Man Broadcast Archives and go to 5/31/00 to hear Dr. Youseff discuss this very edifying book. > What Dr. Youseff has eloquently done, is to systematically go thru the words of the Lord's Prayer (line by line) to give the believer a real grasp of what exactly they are praying, and how they should be praying, when they pray this prayer. Thru personal stories and also by using a solid Biblical basis, Dr. Youseff brings a deep meaning to the Lord's prayer. This book will lead the believer to a more intimate relationship with God and will take their prayer life deeper and richer than ever before. > I highly recommend this book. No longer will you say the Lord's Prayer out of rote memorization again, but instead will align your prayers with the Will and Kingdom of God.

very inspiring
I just finished reading this book and I can tell you I now fell closer to God and realize how much he really loves us. I intend to read this book over & over because my spiriuality has deepened so much from reading this book. I highly recomend christians, especially new christians to read it. you won't be the same when you finish reading his book.


Super Power Golfer

I really do hit my drives longer!!!
My doctor said to get out and exercise - I told him I Golf and he said and what else? So, I got this book because it touted to teach me how to exercise and not ruin my game. Well, after following the guidelines laid out for you in the book, my chloresterol has dropped, my pants are looser and my drives are straighter and longer.

Man I got to tell you, something worked. Yes my doctor scared me and yes I really really followed the tips in the book. It also introduced me to a whole different sport, - bodybuilding. My muscles are bigger and stronger and my drives keep getting straighter and longer - It's got to be the book ahh its the combination of the book and the video.

Finally, a book that makes sense.
When I heard that Tiger Woods uses weights to help give him a more powerful swing I decided I would give it a try. My biggest problem was finding information that applied to me. You see, I love to play golf, ever sense my wife died I play all the time. The doctor said I need to do weight bearing exercises but I did not want to ruin my game. Any way, I got this book and it explained to me that by actuall being stronger I can be a better golfer. Also, now that I am a stronger golfer I now hit the ball even straighter because I have the power to manipulate the club more.

Not only that but the exercises described in the book really helped me strengthen my shoulders and lower back. The book taught me about form, control and hey I even lost a few.

Longer drives and fewer pounds would have to be my review of this book.

Being overweight, trying many programs with little or no results, I had almost given up. I saw TYT on TV and decided to try one more program. The thing that caught my attention was the mental componet TYT talked about, which I never heard about before.

I was amazed!!! I ate real food and lost 7 inches in the firt 20 days. All I can say- just try TYT it could change your life like it changed mine.


Thinking for a Change: Discovering the Power to Create, Communicate and Lead
Published in Paperback by Crown Pub (1997)
Author: Michael J. Gelb
Amazon base price: $14.00
Average review score:

a review that converges to the answer....
Mr Gelb has a tendency to put out some pretty simplistic stuff. This, I think, is one of his more solid efforts. There's plenty of good examples, more apparent thought and depth in this than I think he's offered in most of his other works.
I finished reading the book many years back and still consider that it was one of the more enjoyable and educational that I'd read on the topic of thinking.

The New Economy--Our "Thinking" Too Must Change!
This book is based on the assumption that the thinking and communication skills of leadership, can, and must, be learned. And that leadership begins with personal growth. Just as Covey and Edgar Schein point out-we must understand and change ourselves, then truly know the culture of our people to accomplish change-because it is not the organization that gets changed-it's the people. In order for a leader to lead change, the author suggest a new way of thinking--more open to all possibilities-called Synvergent thinking-the synergetic integration of convergent and divergent thinking. Gelb in a very simplistic manner walks you through mind-mapping techniques, which integrates convergent and divergent thinking. I am sold on his technique-it brings out the positives of brainstorming, even if only brainstorming with yourself-but the end result is a visual product-that clearly identifies what you the leader want your people to understand-decrease the fog quickly-opening up opportunity for dialogue. A must buy for leaders, followers, parents, teachers, etc.


Touched by God: Testimonies of Christian Power
Published in Paperback by iUniverse.com (2000)
Authors: Charles Humphrey Muller and Michael Taylor
Amazon base price: $10.95
Average review score:

Ask and you shall receive!
What an amazing book! The first two events that happened in this book shows us that the saying ask and you shall receive is very true when you ask it of the Lord.
The author, Charles Muller gives an account of a young boy not knowing anything about the Lord God. Grew up finding him in a miraculas way.
Each story you read in this book "Touched by God" is a blessing in its self.
If I could give this book a higher rating then 5 stars I would, for the author did a wonderful job bringing all of these stories together.
In reading this book you will find things will seem brighter and tomorrow will be a better day.God Conquers All!

God can Touch you too! just trust Him.
The author Charles Muller will take you through the stories of seven different people. One of them being himself.

Each story will grab you in a different way.It will touch your heart and soul. Some very sad but the author shows the reader how brave these people are, how much they trust in the Lord day by day.

He tells of a young boy who was wise beyond his years and how his wisdom lay in his love for God. This little boy's faith alone was an inspiration to me.

The story that Charles Muller tells of himself took my breath away. His words alone made me feel his pain, his emptiness, his longing for a God that he thought was no longer there!
He tells of a story that happened at four in the morning that brought him to say."God,I Love You".

This story, " Touched by God" is a must read. It gave me an inward piece that is hard to explain. Almost as though God touched me as I read it!.

A SOLID work by a great student of the presidency.
Usually, scholarly books which try to tell the story of the American Presidency can get very boring and dry. This book is anything but. It takes on the form of a narrative ... one gets the feeling that they are reading a novel. This really made the book quite easy for me to read. Even in light of this, the book does not lose the scholarly element - it is still written very precisely, impeccably, and insightfully. It is very attentive to detail, and does not miss a beat. This is just a phenomenal work. I plan on reading it many times.

Just received the AS diagnosis? You need this book.
Do you have a son or daughter recently diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome (AS)? If so, then buy this book now. I wish this book had been available four years ago when our son was diagnosed with AS. I searched for every book available to understand AS, and if this had been available then, what a treasure it would have been to find. Now that it is published, I feel that everyone who advocates for a son or daughter with AS should buy and use the insights this book has to offer. There are many. Written by an expert familiar with AS, the style gives enough technical information while still being easy to read. There are parts you will laugh outloud reading, recognizing the similarities to your own child. You will learn about the great diversity in symptoms that kids with AS can experience, and those that they share with most of their peers. Worried about the future success of your child, family issues, school performance? There's are entire chapters on these issues and more. There's a helpful "Question and Answer" section in the back of the book, and one of the best sections is the Resources, that you can access to learn more. I have bought several copies of this excellent book- for my wife and me, my parents, for our son's school, his para, and some of our friends- so that they will have a comprehensive and excellent resource to draw upon when the question arises, "What's Asperger Syndrome? How can we help (insert your son's or daughter's name here)?"

This book takes on a very difficult subject, African fetish statues, and with the help of wonderful photo plates, and a discussion of African American artist Renee Stout's contemporary interpretations of the subject, the work explains brilliantly the meaning of some of the most extraordinary works of art produced by humankind. Have you ever wondered why pins are stuck in voodoo dolls? Read this book and enrich your understanding.
