The Attributes of Heaven and Earth is an interpretive theology of the Bible. It deals with the issues and concepts of heaven, earth, Deity, creation, and humanity as defined in the Holy Bible, and includes an intense study of the person of Jesus son of God. The final chapter is a historical narrative on the attitude of the early Christian apologists, and the departure of later Christianity from the concepts as originally defined in the Bible. This is a book informative for clergy and lay-person alike. Dan Shubin has been a Christian church elder and Bible teacher for over 25 years in the Los Angeles, CA., area. He has published over 100 articles and 2 books on the Bible and Christian Church history. Dan speaks fluent Russian and has travelled throughout Russia visiting and studying monasteries and religious minority groups. He has translated 6 books from Russian into English dealing with Christianity in Russia. He is also a peace activist and has written one book on the Bible basis of Christian pacifism. Dan and his wife AnnaMarie have been married 28 years, have 3 children and one grandson.

This book opened my heart! With all the stuff I have had to deal with, grief, loss, etc., I have found true love and inspiration in the pages of this book. Just the act of reading this book filled me with a peaceful, playful, beautiful energy. I would recommend this book to anyone!

I look forward to seeing many more of his books coming out in the future.

The first 9 chapters of the manual outline the elements that must be considered when establishing a business. These chapters have condensed the topics, on which other authors have written volumes, to a reasonable level that allows a person to evaluate his situation. It may help that person to decide yea or nay on moving to the next step. I have an advantage over most since my business is the result of an expanded hobby after retiring as a professional engineer and not for my livelihood.

Chapters 10 to 18 of the manual are very readable, understandable and reasonably comprehensive for laying out, cutting, assembling, finishing and installing kitchen cabinets. The combination of European construction and North American styling produces cabinets that are sound and attractive. The manual was my 'bible' when I built my first cabinets and installed them. The various tables such as thoser on pages 68, 75, 76 and 85 coupled with the diagrams eliminates the need to do calculations in cutting pieces for any size standard cabinet. The author's step by step descriptions and procedures can be considered 'idiot-proof' for completing a successful project.

Chapters 19 to 22 on pricing, computers, proposals and reference sources finishes off a manual that can used as an excellent reference for a successful buiness in kitchen cabinetmaking.

The customer of my first kitchen that I mentioned above, is still very pleased with her kitchen and is quick to show it off to anyone that will look and listen, as related to me by her husband. I could have completed the project on my own without the manual but I am convinced that I, and my customer, would have suffered much grief and time delays.

I have also reviewed Danny Proulx's "Build Your Own Kitchen Cabinets". It is very similar to The Kitchen Cabinetmaker's Building and Business Manual but eliminnates the business part. It has more explanation and more diagrams so will be easier to follow.

I wrote a review on this 2 months ago, but I hope this one go's in. I went there, saw it and done it. The book is very accurate and a great guide to the islands, I recommend it to all first time visitors- don't forget to visit the ragga club on the east side, the owner also has great living accomadations on the ocean for the tourist.

Ceux qui connaissent (et aiment) l'attachante famille Malaussène ne peuvent que se régaler à la lecture de la fée Carabine. L'humour, encore une fois au rendez-vous, mais surtout les liens d'amitié tissés entre les protagonistes font de ce roman, qu'il est impossible de décrire en quelques mots, une nuit (!) de lecture des plus divertissantes ! Un conseil: si vous ne connaissez pas encore, lisez d'abord "Au bonheur des Ogres".

The story construction is very insteresting: three different stories goes on, but at the end... Adventure, adventure, adventure.

Who is the most famous Anglo-Saxon (real, ancient Anglo-Saxon) of all? Chances are you can't name a thing the kings Aethelred or Alfred the Great did in their reigns. Chances are you never heard of Leofric, Earl of Mercia, or his wife Godgifu. Undoubtedly, though, you have heard of Godgifu under the name by which she has come down to us, Godiva. You might know her chocolates better than her legend these days, but even on the chocolate box, she rides naked on her horse; a legend like that can never die. The life of the legend is traced in _Lady Godiva: A Literary History of the Legend_ (Blackwell Publishing) by Daniel Donoghue. Godiva has been, and will continue to be, more than a hawker of confections, and this summary of the life of the real Godiva, the origin and transformations of her legend, and the use to which her story has been put, makes clear Godiva's importance.

Godgifu was pious and generous, especially to the local convents and monasteries. She did nothing that would have made her famous; there is no history that hints of anything resembling the legend, which was only first written down over two centuries after her death. She saved the people of Coventry from taxation by fulfilling her husband's "impossible" condition that she ride naked through the town. The tale that the villagers agreed to keep their windows shut and not look, except for Peeping Tom the tailor who was thereupon struck blind, is a later addition. Peeping Tom didn't even get that name until the seventeenth century. Godiva became a star of processions through Coventry, processions that had previously featured religious items like transubstantiated bread. Donoghue takes us through bad ballads and Tennyson's poem, to Victoria's enthusiasm for the legend, and to the takes on Lady Godiva by Dr. Freud and Dr. Seuss.

It is clear that Godiva still rides, but her identity has changed for our times. Donoghue shows how the legend has lost the story that concentrated on Godiva's virtue and generosity. There is now no heroism and no coercion. She paraded herself naked, and is understood these days as an exhibitionist. Peeping Tom is only infrequently associated with her legend, and is more a part of legal issues than folklore. Donoghue also explains the attraction of medieval legends in general; Dungeons and Dragons and Harry Potter are part of popular medievalism, which is booming. Serious medieval studies, concerning how this part of our past has been viewed by successive centuries, are still vibrant in academia. This study of a particular legend, clear, serious, and comprehensive, lets Godiva ride on in new intellectual exposure.

Reading this is like 'reading' a James Bond movie. The action is fast-paced, complete with cold-blooded killers, deadly deception, poison gas, menacing machine guns, powerful explosives and a high body count. From the first few pages, the action continues at a high speed till the very last page. It gets especially exciting, with nail-biting suspense, in the second half of the book. Pollock is the master of suspense. A can't-put-down-book!

This book rules! The story rules, the characters rule, the writing rules, the scenarios rule, the author rules, the title rules, the setting rules, the syntax rules, the diction rules, the plotting rules, the foreshadowing rules, the opening sentence rules, the closing sentence rules. The Lake rules!
