Can you say perversion of the word?
One Saturday morning I had a JW stop by my house. In the past, I have always been eager to engage w/o knowing the facts of their beliefs, all I used to know was that they didn't believe in the trinity and that their door to door work was their way to salvation. Ephesians 8 clears that right up but when I saw this middle aged man with a 8 year old boy named Marcel, who was adopted from infancy ...

The only technical documentation book you'll need
After reading my colleague's comments I rushed out and purchased this book. I, too, am trained and certified in Information MappingŠ and was impressed at how closely the approach in this book is aligned to that method. However, what I like most is the fact that this book can be used as guidance for a wider scope than just documenting software architectures because it shows how to organize your ...

So you want to be a mortgage loan officer....
If you've ever thought about becoming a mortgage loan officer, then this is the book for you. It provides details on extactly what's involved, how you make money, and the all-important mortgage lingo. I wish I had this book when I was recruiting people to join my company. It gives them a head start on what the biz is all about.
High Times, Hard Times
Independent Curators International, New York/D.A.P.
, 2006
In the late 1960s, the New York art world was, famously, an exhilarating place to be. New forms, including performance and video art, were making their debuts, and sculpture was developing in startling ways. In the midst of it all, experimental abstract painting was pressing art's most iconic medium to its limits and beyond. High Times, Hard Times fills a gap in coverage of this moment in history, recapturing its liveliness and urgency with more ...

Vital Source for Researching JW History
In May of 1943, at the New York Supreme Court, former Watchtower attorney Olin Moyle, successfully sued The Watchtower Bible and Tract Society for slander. While under oath, the then President of the WTBTS, Nathan Knorr, testified that the JW magazine (The Watchtower) is presented to the public as "God's Word...without qualification." (Court Transcript, Moyle vs. WTBTS, p.1474) In the same case, ...

Great information, easily explained, lots of ideas
Although this book has chapters devoted to people with no credit or bad credit, this new book tells how people can get a home loan - at competitive rates - that might not have any money for down payment or closing costs, regardless of credit history. I'm in the real estate business and thought I had heard it all but this book points out strategies that I didn't know existed. Perhaps the best ...

Excellent guide to implement precepts into daily life
Thich Nhat Hanh has updated the traditional Buddhist precepts in this book. His version goes beyond "do not kill," for example, to be mindful of that we might be killing inadvertently. He makes us aware of the broadness of the precepts and thus encourages us to be more mindful. If we are not mindful, we break the precepts. Therefore, he calls them Mindfulness Trainings. Thay's approach frames ...
The Real Estate Investor's Guide to Financing: Insider Advice for Making the Most Money on Every Deal
David Reed
AMACOM
, 2008
To get the biggest return, real estate investors need the right financing. And as they buy multiple properties, their debt to equity rises, making it more difficult to get the kind of deal they need. As many investors have learned the hard way, getting the wrong financing can wipe out their profits, hold them back from selling because of a lack of equity, or force them to try to sell for more than the market will bear. The Real Estate Investor's ...

Great idea and how-to book
When I started a stone-project at our farm in the Catskills -- re-cycling some old, fallen-down stone walls into a new retaining wall -- I bought a half-dozen books, including David Reed's Stonescaping. Although Reed's book was not the best one for my particular project, as a good how-to book, it is very good and as an idea book, it is excellent. On the plus side, Reed provides details and ...

Fast, fun and practical make this book a smart buy!
I like this book for several reasons. First, it's a neat format. By using a novel format Reed and Cottrell help deliver useful advice in a fun and readable way. Second, it's realistic. Their advice is solid and practical, the kind of stuff you can use right away. Third, they offer lists. I'm a big fan of lists because they help make sense of a cluttered world. This book is a fun, fast ...

An Invaluable Resource
Three years ago, when we first started shopping for a house in New Jersey, I couldn't find any reliable information on VA loans anywhere. This year, we resumed our search and I was delighted to come across David Reed's excellent Guide to VA Loans earlier this week as it clearly and concisely explains every step of the process of finding, qualifying for and closing a VA loan. The sample ...

The best stone masonry book in my collection
Probably the best book I own on stone masonry. I bought a lot of stone-masonry/stone-scaping books over the past 5 years and most of them do not come anywhere close. These books have a good chapter or two, or maybe some good photography, but most of them fail in one respect or another. Reed's book is very good throughout and is very suitable for both beginners and pros. An excellent section on ...

Continuing Peter David's legendary and monumental run
Peter David's monumental run on the Incredible Hulk continues here in this fourth collected edition, which finds the Hulk reaching the end of his days working in Vegas. Guest stars are abound including Thor, The Thing, and more besides, but what is really worth noting here is what was already mentioned by the previous reviewer. Peter David almost ended up quitting the book over a spat with the ...
