I LOVE this book! I found it at the library and didn't expect it to be that good and when I read I read it in a couple hours. I kept on reading and reading it! It is about Skeelie and how she loves Ramad but Ramad is searching for Telien his true love. It is very imaginitive and goes into time travel and stuff like that. I would recomend it to anyone! Girls it goes into love and Boys it goes into battle and fighting. THE BEST!

This is an excellent book. I picked up this book because I had read the Dragonbard Trilogy and loved them, but this book surpassed them by far. Unfortunately, because of the obscurity of the author, I have been unable to find any of the other books in the series, but that is neither here nor there. The plot was complex, interesting, and dealt realistically with time travel. The characters were realistic and well-developed and the writing was superb.

So many adult literacy students want to learn to read, or improve their reading, in order to read and understand the Bible -- yet there are so few easy-to-read Bibles for the adult learner! Most children's Bibles are woefully incomplete, or too childish or bear too little resemblance to the Bibles their friends and families are using in church or synagogue. This Old and New Testament in one volume, though designed for use by children ages 9-12, is a joy! It's simplified/condensed, but amazingly complete, with a comprehensive index and full chapter citations at the top of every story for the student who wants to know more. Beautifully illustrated, and a pleasure for grown-up students and tutors to read aloud, together. My student (a 46-year-old male) and I were so happy to find it, and we are delighted to recommend it to other tutors and new readers.

I teach ancient history at the college level, and I give this book to my children to learn about the Bible. It has nearly all the stories, not just Noah and Moses, and tells them in a lively way, with plenty of action, but in words children can understand. And it is short, with lots of colorful pictures. There is no moralizing: this Bible sticks to the text.

I just picked up a copy of "Christian Set Yourself Free" last weekend, but by applying what I'm learning my life has started to change.

Graham Powell is a great teacher, both in his oral and written communication!

I read this book six years ago during a difficult time in my life. Through a dilligent study and a steady application of the principles in this book, my life was radically changed. The scripturally based teaching on the problems for which deliverance is helpful, and the emphasis on the fact that most Christains can indeed obtain self-deliverance over a period of time was the key for me. I keep a copy of this book in my home at all times, and have given copies to others who are facing struggles calling for deliverance in their own lives.

This book was my daughter's favourite from the age of about 15 months until she was two. Unlike many books that drive a parent batty after several readings, I never got tired of reading "Color Babies" (as it is called in our house). Shirley Hughes really understands toddlers, preschoolers, and their parents. Her writing flows, and her pictures beautifully capture the interests of toddlers.

Hughes uses items not usually found in ordinary color books to describe not only the color, but each color's many shades. The rhythm of the text is light and flowing and the illustrations are heart-warming.

This is one of the best,if not the best art therapy books out there.It is intelligent,practical,and easily understood.
She combines her extensive experiences with adolescents along with contemporary family therapy constructs,combined with illustrated case studies,humor,compassion and openness.
she oudid herself.
brings excitement to the art therapy field...

Shirley Riley has synthesized her vast clinical experiences with adolescents into a wonderfully pragmatic, insightful, and realistic text which addresses contemporary adolescence and today's priorities in adolescent treatment. While other authors have described the use of art therapy with adolescents, Riley goes beyond classic and often outdated developmental and psychological theories about adolescence and takes a refreshing look at adolescent therapy within a contemporary context. The significance of societal, cultural, and familial inlfluences is emphasized along with the importance of narrative approaches, post modern thought, and short-term, solution-focused treatment. Riley also infuses a variety of salient clinical issues such as distancing, reflecting, and timing in adolescent therapy, addressing and respecting metaphorical communication, and understanding the therapist's countertransference or "entanglements" that inevitably arise when working with adolescents. Additionally, the reader is treated to lively case descriptions and practical clinical applications of art therapy in adolescent group treatment, adolescents and family therapy, inpatient and outpatient populations, residential programming, school settings, and a wide range of individual treatment situations.

If you want to get the tapes that accompany this book, then do a search on: "Conversational Italian in 7 Days". (If you write "7" instead of spelling out "seven" another version of this book comes up. This version includes the language tapes for just a few more dollars.

Believe me, you really need the tapes. And you'll really enjoy them. Italian is a beautifully-sounding lanugage to pronounce. And the tapes make it easy and fun.

Ciao!

I recently returned from Italy after reading this book and listing to the two language tapes that accompany it. The book and tapes cover everyday subjects which arise during your trip to Italy. How to buy things in stores. How to ask directions. How to order from a menu. How to make reservations. How to talk about yourself and carry on a basic conversation. It also gives travel advice on how to use the public telephone, buy parking tokens and other juicy tidbits that will make your vacation a lot easier. (Italy is not a very efficent country, and everyday situations can become a lot more complicated than you could ever have imagined!)

When we were in Rome I found that about 95% of all Italians spoke fluent English. Most of them did not even tolerate my attempts at speaking Italian. But when we traveled to Tuscany, Florence, and the outlying Veneitian islands this book became very useful.

I highly recommend it as a succinct surivial guide if you're planning to go to Italy. I also thought that the tapes were excellent and the lessons well planned and pertinent. I carried this book with me during my trip for reference.

It will definitely help you learn some basic surivial Italian quickly and easily.

A practical and informative book. Ideal for keeping children busy and entertained. Excellent value.

Full of excellent ideas for children all environmentally friendly. Easy to follow and understand. Buy it now!!!!

Having harrassed the author for close to four years I am pleased to say that this text represents what might best described an a "hinge in history". I agree that the concepts and examination items might be challenging for those used to a "cookbook" strategy but I am sure Shirley will agree that she did NOT invent anatomy or kinesiology! Systematic clinical examination, identifying movement deviations from mechanical precision and optimising efficient movement patterns are not large leaps of logic. Major car manufacturers and airlines have been doing this for years; analyse patterns of wear and tear on components and see what lasts the longest! However, humans in their comfortable/familiar patterns don't invest in the valid and rational practice of prevention and damage analysis. I know UK colleagues will take the path of least resistance when trying out the exam items within this book and say "Well it doesn't predict chronicity!" or "What about psychosocial factors?". To them and the pain biology fanatics I say this...when viruses, bacteria, trauma, genetics and family relationships have been analysed, what are the three primary drivers of nociception? Bogduk delineated the mechanical deformation model of nociception; Sahrmann has now thrown down the gauntlet with the movement paradigm to support or negate. Roll up your sleeves, break a sweat and join those of us liberated from surreal Southern Hemisphere skeleton pushing. Active rehabilitation with empiricism, determinism and a healthy cynicism! This text gives content and not just theory/process models - try telling a student that clinical reasoning is a valid model when they don't know what to look for!

Physical therapists like myself have been waiting for a text from the author for over 10 years. Definitely a text for someone well versed in the anatomy and mechaincs of the musculoskeletal system. This text is written in clear categories and deals with problems in three general areas. It takes effort and analytic thinking to understand the myriad of motions listed in the text. A CD with actual demonstrations would help immensely in seeing all the factors the author is illustrating. The introduction covers very complex ideas made as simple as possible by the author. I would recommend this text for any movement specialist but I would caveat my recommendation with the warning that hard work is needed to really grasp the techniques listed in this text. This author is saying things that need to be learned by movement specialists and only can be applied by an expert.

.........by a remarkable woman. When reading this book, one tends to find themselves imagining that the contents are based upon a wonderfully moving, humourous, exciting and particularly enlightening feature film starring the immensely talented and deep-thinking Shirley MacLaine. Instead, amazingly......... the book is autobiographical and therefore makes absolutely stunning reading. I have read many books by Shirley MacLaine and within all of them, there is a complete honesty which made me personally, look a little deeper into my own life. It's a gift.

This story is about a young girl who is getting dressed in her moms cloths and how she has to change out of them to wear hers. Its a great book for young children who are learning to read and want a fun story that they can read over and over agian with there family. When i was helping my little cousin justice learn to read she would love to take this book and read it to everyone and show them that she could read. This book is the one if you are trying to get a child exited about reading.

A very fun book that my daughter and I have enjoyed for more than a year. The book is a cumulative story about a girl dressing up in her mother's clothing for a party. Told in fun rhyme with great rhythm, my daughter and I try to read each page as quickly as we can without taking a breath until the last line on each page which reads "...I'll wear to the party." A thoroughly enjoyable little book.
