John Bray, Joyce A. Lee, ...

Sage Publications, Inc, 2000

Much more than a primer.
This book takes you through the research behind CI and the practical steps in getting started with your own group. I recommend that you read it so that you can benefit from their research. This book is joining a growing body of research in how CI can help adults take leadership and develop learning communities.

Matthew Rothschild

Thomson Gale, 2006

Makes some good points
There's plenty of information about the failures, counterproductivity, and untrustworthiness of the Bush administration. And Matthew Rothschild says we do not have to invent conspiracy theories in a misguided attempt to beef up the case against this administration. He's right. Such theories just sabotage one's credibility. And this article is pretty good at explaining how far from reality ...

This is such a wonderful book for inspiration; I have bought it over and over for gifts. Joseph Campbell ties the basic underlying truths found in mythology and religion to man's quest for the meaning of life.

Race to the Moonrise : An Ancient Journey

Western Reflections Publishing Company, 1998

Race to the Moonrise
Race to the Moonrise, by archaeologist Sally Crum, is a wonderful resource for teachers teaching the history and cultures of the Southwest and Colorado. It is a fictional story which contains a vivid picture of the cultures of the Southwest from Casa Grande to Chimney Rock in Colorado. I used it with my fourth grade students to enable them to visualize the people and their lifestyle, compare ...

A Small Book That Is Shaping Up as a Classic In Reconnecting Evangelicals with Forgotten Spiritual Treasures
I have been an admirer of this book since its release -- but I'm writing this Amazon review now as a sign of how much this book has grown on me over the months. I think that, in 25 years, when we look back as journalists chronicling this era of religious reawakening -- this book likely will turn up as a classic. It's a milestone of these returning waves in Christian reflection that are brining ...

From Ministry to Theology: Pastoral Action & Reflection

2 reviews
John Patton

Journal of Pastoral Care Publications Inc., 1995

Pastoral progression
John Patton's book, 'From Ministry to Theology: Pastoral Action and Reflection', is in many ways a perfect book for me to have picked up and read at this time - I am currently a chaplain intern in a CPE programme, doing in many ways exactly what Patton calls upon ministers to do - act, and then reflect upon those actions. The substance of this reflection should be more than emotional, but also ...

Almost Human - Volume 2 - Lost Reflections (Almost Human)

WoodWitchDame Publications, 2008

Love the Unexpected Story Twists
This book is better than the first. I love Cains historical backstory and the way it fits into the current action. The romance has gotten steamy and I love the characters even more.

Reflective Practice in Action: 80 Reflection Breaks for Busy Teachers (1-Off)

1 review
Thomas S. C. Farrell

Corwin Press, 2003

Making Reflection Practical
Many good ideas in education work great in College of Ed classrooms but run into difficulties outside the ivory towers. Reflective teaching is too good an idea to let suffer such a fate. Fortunately, Thomas Farrell's new book shows us a door to reflective teaching that we can open gradually and gratifyingly, with first a toe, then an entire foot, until reflective teaching is such a part of how we ...

Java Reflection in Action (In Action series)

Ira R. Forman, Nate Forman

Manning Publications, 2004

Must have for any Java developer
If, for any reason I had to keep only 10 Java books, this one would have made this list. It's consise, up to the point and covers not only Java reflection, but many other important subjects such as class loaders, design patterns, design with interfaces, proxies, et al. I'm a technical writer myself and follow the simple rule: "the book/article is ready when you can't remove anything from it". ...

A must-read book.
This book is brilliantly written. It intrigues, stimulates, and provokes thought about the social paradoxes and contradictions in our world. Jodi O'Brien does a superb job in using examples drawn from popular culture to engage the reader and expose the complexities of contemporary social life. This book is written in everyday language and is easy to read and understand. It's not just for the ...

Reflections in the Nile

52 reviews

Grand Central Publishing, 1999

Really opened my eyes!
I had read other "flung back in time" novels and, while I loved the Gabaldon series, figured with this one I would be just reading fluff. Boy, was I wrong. This book really made the Exodus vivid to me and made the Bible come alive. Getting vicious satisfaction out of crunching on the locusts, dealing with the Nile as blood, and the staffs turning into snakes! I was enthralled right from the ...

Beyond the Reflection's Edge (Echoes from the Edge)

57 reviews
Bryan Davis

Zondervan, 2008

It Keeps You Guessing
"Beyond the Reflections Edge" was unlike any book that I have read--and I am an avid reader. For once, I was not certain exactly how the story was going to end. The good guys had to win, of course, but since it is the first book in a series, there is no telling exactly were in the "fight" that the tale will end. The various twists in the story kept me interested from beginning to end. One ...

Kai Meyer

Margaret K. McElderry, 2005

Alternate Venetian Fantasy
Kai Meyer is one of those author's whose creativity is above and beyond talented. Within the market-flooded fantasy book world, there are so many books published with the same old sword and scorcery, dragons, and intergallactical space wars. Kai Meyer has managed to invent unique methods of using magic and fantasy like you've never seen before. I have already read his later trilogy, The Wave ...

Christian Faith and the Truth Behind 9/11: A Call to Reflection and Action

60 reviews
David Ray Griffin

Westminster John Knox Press, 2006

"Thinking the Unthinkable" with contemporary theology.
Review of Christian Faith and the Truth behind 911 by David Ray Griffin. About 1/3 of the book is a recap of evidence that the World Trade Center buildings could not have collapsed from the airplane impacts and fires but must have been a "controlled demolition" and therefore an inside job. About 1/3 is history of "false flag operations" that are standard military practice to gain civilian ...
