Suffering and the Sovereignty of God

11 reviews

Crossway Books, 2006

Humbling Essays
This book has some great essays. It provides a great mix of theology, and personal testimony, and narratives of how God uses suffering to progress the gospel. The question of suffering is very complex so having a variety of writers from diverse backgrounds attacking the issue from slightly different perspectives helps the reader to understand how God uses suffering to glorify Himself, to mature ...

Call of the Loon

5 reviews
David C. Evers, Kate M. Taylor

Willow Creek Press, 2006

Loved the book, but not the DVD
The text and photos in this book are excellent, so I highly recommend the book. BUT the accompanying DVD "Loons, Lakes & Mist", which I was very much looking forward to, was a big disappointment. Yes, the live loon webcam captures the loons in special situations. However the constant, loud, pounding, music is all wrong as background for any film about loons. You want quiet, so you can hear ...

Etoiles

Gillian Taylor, David Edwards

Longman, 1992

Uplifting and relevant
My Danish-American mother gave me this book to read when I was 12. It's a pity that it's no longer in print, as I am looking forward to my own child reading it. The book's strength is its description of flawed and ordinary people who managed to do the right thing at a time when it really mattered. The book upholds the importance of affirming the value and dignity of individual human beings even ...

Canine Rehabilitation and Physical Therapy

6 reviews
Darryl Millis, David Levine, ...

Saunders, 2004

great book
This book was a recommended resource when I was taking the Canine rehab practitioner course. I used it quite often as a reference and still do in practice. It is great for the veterinary practitioner, physical therapist or the vet tech that would like to know more about how,when and why to perform physiotherapy for animals. It is quite a technical book so some knowledge of animals and anatomy ...

The Academy: Tales of the Marketplace (The Marketplace Series, 4)

15 reviews
Laura Antoniou, Cecilia Tan, ...

Mystic Rose Books, 2000

A wonderful idea that is done very very well.
Laura Antoniou had a great idea: her Marketplace series was so popular and fans wanted so much more, why not continue the story but also allow others to create their own Marketplace pieces? The result is the wonderful story of the Marketplace worldwide meeting with the intriguing Kris Parker as the main character. We also meet older slaves, trainers, and owners, and those somewhere in between ...

Ginseng, the Divine Root: The Curious History of the Plant That Captivated the World

Algonquin Books, 2006

Engrossing trawl through the history and business of ginseng
Let's see, what do I know about ginseng? It's a supposed herbal panacea, from China (or was that Korea?). It began invading New Age consciousness and health food stores around the time of Woodstock. It has quite a nasty, bitter taste. Oh, and didn't some clever American farmers recently start growing ginseng and selling it back to the Chinese? Clearly what I knew was not a lot, and after reading ...

Reproductive Endocrinology & Infertility: Handbook for Clinicians (Desk Size)

4 reviews
Dan I. Lebovic, John David Gordon, ...

Scrub Hill Press, 2005

Good if you are thinking of doing OB/GYN residency
This is a good and concise reference book, but not worth the purchase if you aren't considering doing OB/GYN as a profession. Blueprints is enough to get you through the 3rd year rotation. I would have preferred larger pages to reduce the number of total pages in the book, this way it would have fit better in my white coat pocket. Something to consider for next edition I guess.

Black Duck

19 reviews
Janet Taylor Lisle

Listening Library (Audio), 2007

Masterful Storytelling
Ten years after the enactment of the Prohibition law, there occurred in the Narragansett Bay an incident that contributed to its repeal. The attack by a Coast Guard cutter of a legendary rum-running fishing boat called the Black Duck, which killed most of its crew. No one knows the details of that attack, but Janet Taylor Lisle draws upon the legend to present a gripping and plausible ...

PublishAmerica, 2002

Contact with Gaia
This is a brilliantly woven sci-fi novel proposing the possibility of the Earth as being a living, breathing entity. Johnny Trevasser is a teacher/musician trying to find a balance in his life between the struggles of teaching ESOL (English Speakers of Other Languages) at Green Pastures Elementary, developing a relationship with his girlfriend, and composing symphonic/rock tunes in a band with ...

The Fur Person, Gift Edition

13 reviews
May Sarton, David Canright, ..., 2002

"East or West, home is best"
Author May Sarton has given me some of my most reflective reading experiences with her journals but I've been much less organized about reading her poetry and novels. When I spotted her 1957 short novel The Fur Person it was an easy choice to grab it. Sarton spent her last twenty years in Maine, so I have a special interest in her work. The story, told from the cat's point of view, is of a ...

Inside Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Web Services

3 reviews
David Sterling, Michael Mainer, ...

Microsoft Press, 2007

Fantastic book on Exchange Web Services
This book is not only powerful, but is a must have for anyone developing against Exchange Server either now or in the future. The explanations are both thorough as well as detailed and make it easy for those who have never written web services to get started. The examples are fantastic and complete and in no time at all I was able to get started. I would recommend this book to anyone, new ...

Portlets and Apache Portals

2 reviews
Stefan Hepper, Peter Fischer, ...

Manning Publications, 2005

Free download of the almost-complete manuscript from Manning
The publisher, Manning, is certainly a good public citizen. They assembled an excellent team of subject matter experts to write a book on Portals and Portlet development. The team wrote the book, but Manning chose not to publish it. Consequently, it hasn't gone through the usual edit/review process, but it's still an excellent resource. Manning is offering the book, in PDF form, as a free ...

You and Your Dog

4 reviews
David Taylor

Knopf, 1986

Good Dog, Good Dog Book
I bought this when I acquired my first dog ten years ago. It has been pretty indispensable and unbarkably good. OK, so I didn't refer to it each of those ten years, but for people and kids and families just welcoming or planning to welcome a dog into their family, this is a good all-in-one book. It has a section on different breeds to help match up your choice with your lifestyle/personality. ...

The Rivers North of the Future: The Testament of Ivan Illich

David Cayley

House of Anansi Press, 2005

Challenge Yourself.
Although labeled and promoted as a book on christianity this work is much more. Anyone with a serious interest in history, social issues, social psychology or what one might do to make the world a better place will find plenty to think about in this very interesting read. I have no religious inclinations and found the aproach of looking for documented truth rather than proselytizing refreshing. ...

Steven Erickson, Jay Taylor Akridge, ...

McGraw-Hill Science/Engineering/Math, 2001

Superlative New Edition
This new edition of Agribusiness Management provides great, current examples that directly apply to food and agribusiness situations and people. The discussion questions and case studies are thorough and thought provoking for the student or for the professional who wants to improve understanding of the industry. Agribusiness Management has great examples, discussion questions and case ...

The Maudsley Prescribing Guidelines, Ninth Edition: Ninth Edition

2 reviews
David Taylor, Carol Paton, ...

Informa HealthCare, 2007

The Definitive Guide to Psychiatric Medication
This is the best book for detailed, practible guidance on prescription of psychiatric drugs. It is not introductory book but nothing in it is irrelevent. It is more about chosing a drug and monitoring its use than information about a particular drug. The book synthesises conclusions from research and yet has relevent lists of referneces. The text is beautifully well written. Somehow, ...

Gut Reactions

David Taylor

Berkley, 1983

Gut Reactions by Taylor and Rock
This is an excellent book. There is a more current book by Dr. Raphael Kellman MD of the Kellman Center in NY. The Taylor book espouses the value of reducing stress as a condition precedent to managing gut reactions. He cites the Bernstein test involving acid drips in the esophagus to measure pain triggers. In addition, lab tests can distinguish between gut disease and gut reactions. Brisk walks ...

One Year With Jesus: The Living Bible

2 reviews

Tyndale House Pub, 1995

Highly recommended
In over 20 years as a Christian, this is the best devotional I have ever read. It is thought provoking yet keeps the subject simple. Each day gives you something to ponder and the chronological order also puts a different approach on the gospels and Jesus' life. I would recommend it to anyone. In fact, I am buying several more as gifts for friends and family.

Zoo Vet: Adventures of a Wild Animal Doctor

3 reviews
David Taylor

Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 1977

A Zoo Vets Life...
The title of this book explains most of it, a vet who handles wild zoo animals. It covers the problems a vet encounters when taking care of non domestics animals, and also mentions how various people feel about animals in general. David Taylor also discusses what it took to learn all the various workings of the animals. The stories are very good, such as the one where David gets a ride from ...

The Naked Leader: The True Paths to Success are Finally Revealed

2 reviews
David Taylor

Capstone Publishing, 2002

Naked Leader
This is the only business book that I have read from cover to cover and then gone back to use as a reference. The format of the book, life journeys and short sharp chapters keep you wanting more and reading on to find the next nugget. This book cuts through the jargon and its easy to read language make it accessible to all. You don't have to be a CEO to benefit from this book, it demonstrates ...
