My knowledge of the subject had been limited to a few magazine articles and my own illness until I read a few books on eating disorders. I now feel pretty much up-to-date, and this was easily the most useful book I read. While it's medically sophisticated, it is also easy to read, clear, and compassionate. And that has really helped me get going on my treatment. Thanks.

Having read quite a few books on this subject, I found this book to be accessible, thoughful, and perceptive. Highly recommended.

I enjoyed this book by the Father of Modern Education more than Pilgrim's Progress. I easily identified the many twists and turns that people make before they find spiritual insight. A must read.

Why should you read a book written in 1623? Because, this book is special. Comenius wrote with an uncanny ability to see life as it really is. In an allagorical genre (as Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress), it is fast moving, interesting and thought-provoking. The author will grab you and bring you along with him as he searches the world for true wisdom and true happiness. This book is simply unforgetable. On par, but of different genre, with Augustine's Confessions.

If anything the importance and influence Mr. Lennon have been underestimated. This fatherless, motherless working-class boy wandered Liverpool as a near street urchin in care of his Aunt Mimi. his longings for what we would call boring middle class familial comfort ar palpable in such songs as "Mother" ans "Julia." His first son was named for his "bolter" of a mother. after 8 years of heroin addition ensconsed in the Dakota with Yoko he emerged, produced "Double Fantasy" and was gunned down by Mark David Chapman, probably a brainwashed agent of the US government. These pictures are among our relics and can be treasured.

This book is sure to delight any reader from inveterate Beatles fan to interested learner. This book chronicles the life of John Lennon from his boyhood days in Liverpool up to his tragic death in 1980.

The photographs capture John at all phases of his life. One can imagine the high spirited young boy who declared to all and sundry that he was a genius and special (and he was right), to the founder of the world's number one band. I like the way this book captures John as more than the artist he was. I like the pictures of John with his sons, with his first wife Cynthia and with his soulmate and wife, Yoko. One feels that they are taking a Magical Mystery Tour with the man who literally made the world listen.

This book is such a treat. I can't recommend it highly enough.

Finally, a book about His Holiness that is full of pictures, but also full of Papal info. If you're a Roman Catholic or a fan of the Supreme Pontiff, this is a must buy.

I loved this book about John Paul II (the Pope of Hope)!!! The authors gave us a little of everything, not an easy task for a man with so much history behind him. This is the first book where I have gone over pages more than once, twice. I wanted to absorb every word, every picture. The side stories were also a special treat. I respect and admire the pope even more. I now feel well prepared to read George Weigel's recently published autobiography on JPII, Witness to Hope. Thank you Monsignor Virgilio Levi and Christine Allison for giving us something so inspiring.

Henderson gives us the finest book on the theological and practical underpinnings for this institution that became to hallmark of early Methodism. Church leaders and scholars often point to the Wesleyan class meeting as the best model for how small group discipleship can be done. But, almost as often, key points of Wesley's purpose and method are overlooked (or ignored), causing people in the church to miss some of the most significant elements of genius in what Wesley put into practice.

D. Michael Henderson's book is about going back to the roots of the class meeting in order to genuinely understand what the early Methodists were doing and why. This book would be of particular use to those interested in contemporary small group ministry -- or those with an interest in Wesley or early Methodism.

Superb. This book gets my highest recommendation.

Henderson's book gives real insight as to how John Wesley used small groups and community groups in giving England and the world back to their Creator. Must read for pastors and church workers.

I am about to enter a 4 month training school to be a Pharmacy Tech in the military. I wanted something to look over to generally familiarize myself with some common drugs, without too much overwhelming or detailed information. This book is perfect for that. It's quite a big book with lots and lots of different drug profiles, including common brand names of that drug and some very very general info about what it does, how it works, side effects, etc. It has an index of different categories of diseases and ailments that you can use to search for a specific drug, or you can search by the brand name to find the actual drug (ie searching for Tylenol takes to to Acetamenophin and so on...). Otherwise you can simply flip through the drugs alphabetically. I wish the explainations of how they work were a little more in depth, but for it's purpose it works perfectly as a very easy-to-comprehend reference guide for the general population on drugs. And it's nicely packaged to boot with sturdy smooth pages and color pictures - not cheaply made at all.

This book could not be more easy to use! Everything you need to know about the drug on one page! Very current, and from Johns Hopkins, no less. It has a great index, with both generic names and brand names listed, and is fully illustrated in color. An excellent book to own or give as a gift. the chart on grapefruit juice interactions could save your life!

Although this book does not go into great depth about the subject, it is well written and will leave the reader longing to make a trip to the lake. The author presents the controversy about the damn in a well balanced manner and keeps the focus of the book on the existing treasures of the lake.

This is the best book ever written about this subject. I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in the beauty and history of Utah.

These original essay length letters composed by an intelligent and imaginative immigrant offer us a fascinating glimpse into life in early America. The letters chronicle his travels across the thirteen colonies in the years leading up to the revolution. With pathos and humour he gives us an intimate look at family life in the whaling ports of Nantucket and Marthas Vineyard. We visit with John Bertram, the celebrated botanist on his Pennsylvania farm. We are escorted through the middle colonies to Charelston for a first hand look at the opulent lifestyle of the planters. Our guide points out the absurdities he confronts while chronicling the beauty and diversity of the natural landscape. This book provides a wonderful and historic experience.

Never befor have I seen a book that has more plainly showed me how to find out what I am supose to do with my life. This book has reinforced my beliefe in each of us having a divine mission here on earth. The Garrett's not only share their words but use many quotes from authorities on the issues they discuss. Very well written and inspirational. You can not read it without fealing the disire to find your own mission in life. The steps are so simple yet extreemly powerful. I would strongly recomend this book to anyone!

The book was very well written, interesting, and hard to put down. It was also inspirational. The sections in the book I found most helpful and applicable to my particular circumstances were the chapters on pondering, blessings, and talents. The book made me think and do some soul searching. The Garretts clear and easy to understand writing style made the gospel principals they explained come alive. I can highly rcommend Life is a Mission. I have already been letting my friends know that it is a great book, and I think they should read it.

I read this book after reading a review in Security Management Magazine, February edition...the reviewer stated 'Any security professional would benefit from this concise, thoughtful, and well-written text. It is an important tool for retail security professionals aiming to become self-reliant.' - Security Management. The reviewer also called the author an "enlightened iconoclast"...wow, was he right on the money. No hyperbole in this book, just straight to the heart and mind facts, new ideas, and an eye-opener for all of us in the field. The author's recommendations of putting to rest the old shrinkage accounting methods in lieu of a "shrinkage before net profit" strategy should be adopted by every serious loss prevention executive who is tired of obscuring the impact of theft and losses.

As the former national director of loss prevention for one of the largest Top 100 retailers in the U.S. (currently instructing at Mercyhurst College), not only do I recommend this book to the small business owner but also to every large corporation that struggles with ineffective programs. The author has presented here insights into accounting, operations, and loss prevention that are rarely seen--a no-nonsense, truthful and dynamic review of LP programs, definitely not another do-it-yourself book full of platitudes and traditional thinking. After 30 years in law enforcement and as a corporate executive, this book is one of few to make seriously rethink the loss prevention process. For the small business owner or consultant new to the field, it is written eloquently yet simply; for the established practitioner, it is written to challenge the old and often ineffective strategies of behemoth corporations.
