finally the truth and freedom
I am so please to find the truth about tithing. Now my doubts about tithing has been answered. The author has done an outstanding job scripturally concerning tithing. I now feel freer than I have been in years of this subject. And I am happy to see that there are others out there who feels the same as I did. I want to thank Mr. Webb for this wealth of information on tithing. I recommend anyone who has questions about tithing to read this book, because it is a big eye opener. It has brought santity to my confused mind about giving. I was thinking correctly, but always felt like I was wrong because of the incorrect teaching I now know I received. There is a Pastor/Teacher Bob George, who did get me started on the correct giving and about tithing with his tapes, that was one witness and Michael L Webb is now two. I just thank my God for them for boldly coming forth in setting God's people free. FREE AT LAST, THANK GOD I'M FREE AT LAST, ESPECIALLY IN THIS AREA. MR. WEBB DON'T STOP.

Excellent book! Presented with precision, balance and love!
Beyond Tithes and Offerings is a wonderful book! Many of the books and articles I have thus far read concerning this perspective of the tithe are often negative, critical and neglect to encourage the practice of true Christian giving principles according to the Word of God, which can only be effectively enacted out of a changed heart, filled with God's love and divine purpose. Beyond Tithes and Offerings is for certain a brilliant exception!

This book not only outlines clearly and simply the proper biblical context of tithing (in contrast to the traditional view taught in most churches today - including my own, yikes! hehe), but it presents a practical challenge to invite the Lord to come and inspire our motivation to give out of our abundance to supply the lack of others; not out of necessity or by compulsion, but out of love.

If you are one who perhaps has chosen a non-tithing position thinking that this means you are now exempt from a responsibility to give (even of your finances), this book will, on the contrary, prove you otherwise and challenge you directly in your faith and your relationship with Jesus.

Beyond Tithes and Offerings does not neglect the importance of understanding Christ's heart as it concerns our giving.

Since reading this book, in addition to my own personal Bible studies and prayer, I have experienced a revitalized sensitivity to the Holy Spirit and a fresh liberty in the area of giving that I had been missing before. I learned so much more than what tradition has taught me over the years (or perhaps I should say mis-taught). I highly would recommend this book to pastors as well as any Christian who would invite a challenge to their faith and the opportunity to grow in their understanding of God's Word as it applies to the subject of true Christian giving.

The motivation of this book is not to divide churches or turn members against their tithe-preaching pastors or from giving financially to care for the needs of the local church, on the contrary it encourages spiritual growth and attention to the reality and power of God's Word that needs to be wholly applied to our lives in every area. This book is not against giving, in fact it encourages it and pastors needn't feel threatened by the title. It is certainly not the common perspective of most church leaders and Christians in general today (and for many may be a little hard to swallow because it so severely offends the tradition many have religiously observed for years), but it is the biblical perspective and one that I believe has the potential to revolutionize the way churches operate today.

I especially encourage pastors to read this book, because, rest assured, probably a good number of your flock already are! It's going to make preaching the traditional tithe (with Scripture) a whole lot harder, as people begin to just read for themselves the simple truth revealed right in the pages of God's Word.

Read this book!!! You will be changed for the better!!!
I want to commend the writers for a wonderful and uplifting book. On the surface this book is about money, but in reality it is more about the freedom and grace that we have as christians. Next to the Bible this is one book that has truly shown me the love and grace of God, this book has had a profound effect in my walk with the Lord. From now on I will be lead by the spirit in my giving and not lead by well meaning but mislead men or women.

My hope and prayer is that we who have read the book and realize the truth in it will have the courage and conviction to stand up for those who are less fortunate than we are, to not fear men but to fear God. Let us also put this book in the hands of men and women that are responsible for handling the money in our churches. As for me I am going to get a few copies and send them out to my church leaders, if they read this book and are not touched by it than I will know that their heart is not for the poor but for the money. Now I know the true freedom I have in Jesus Christ.

Once again I thank the writers for letting God use them in such a powerful way. And most of all I thank Jesus my savior for my salvation and for my FREEDOM.

Light weight but funny
The heroine, Terra Tarkington, is a newly graduated nurse. Unwittingly, she is manipulated by opposing secret organisations, resulting in her first assignment being at the far end of the galaxy. There she has to cope with outrageous alien patients and medical staff, with only the company of 1 other human, an attractive young doctor.

The book is written as a collection of letters from Terra to others. I found its humour appealing, making it a very easy read - quite different from the other Sharon Webb book I read years ago.


Sams Teach Yourself Excel 2000 Programming in 24 Hours

This books has more errors than the IRS!
Luckly this book is out of print as it contains numereous errors, typos, etc. Not recommended at all...

Fast, cheap, and adequate
This is the book you get when you are moving from user to power user. I bought this book when I was temping and learned vba fast and well enough to get my next assignment. It lead me to more in depth books but this one guided me enough to give me a taste. Within in a couple of chapters your got some cool stuff running. It even shows you how you can make Excel talk to Word. These "in 24 Hour" books serve to get you there fast and not to be an in depth book for the subject so it served its purpose. It could use more screen shots for the absolute beginner.

If you use Excel, then you need this book.
This book is an excelent introduction. It covers all of the basics, even basic programming for those who don't know much about Visual Basic. I am an investor who uses Excel to track my holdings and to create complex charts and graphs. After reading this book I was able to create macros and applets that have saved my countless hours of work. Not only that, but I am now tracking my investments in ways that I had never imagined before. This book is a great introduction, not only to Excel programming, but also to automation in general. The author explains to the reader how to extract elements and/or information from Excel and paste them into Word documents. He presents the information in such a way that I have been able to extend his automation examples to PowerPoint and Front Page as well, which the book doesn't even cover. In all, I would have to give this title five stars. If you use Excel at all, then you should save yourself some time and buy this book.

My memory surpasses the reality...
Sharon Webb's trilogy was something I experienced years ago as a YA. I loved the idea of living forever and the way the futuristic society was portrayed. However, a recent reunion with these books has brought out some of the flaws in her writing. While the characters are still as real to me as they were, the plot suffers from lack of action and from a couple of spots where she loses my suspension of disbelief. I would recommend these books to YA's who are just getting into science fiction reading but not to anyone with more sophisticated tastes.
