Jesus Revealed: Know Him Better to Love Him Better

3 reviews
Mark D. Roberts

WaterBrook Press, 2002

A great read on Jesus
Today's growing interest in all things spiritual has resulted in all kinds of books about Jesus--many of which are simply wrong. This book corrects errors, not so much by attacking them specifically as by carefully showing the reader the many dimensions of who this amazing person Jesus is. The topic is deep and the author is a brilliant scholar so one should expect to be dazzled. You will, but in ...

Gardner (editor) (Paul J. McAuley; Alexander Jablokov; Mark W. Tiedemann; Robert L. Nansel; Gregory Frost; Michael Swanwick; William John Watkins; Catherine Mintz; Linda D. Addison; Robert Silverberg) Dozois

Dell Magazines, 1998

Not Free SF Reader
An excellent issue, with one 4.5 story, and one dodgy one, ending with McAuley's rather cool underwater adventure. There's a rather epic Spinrad book review cum column, that espouses upon some small press and French books including a Di Filippo novel called Ciphers which is apparently replete with rock 'n roll jokes. That can't be bad. A couple of quotes :- "Years ago, Ron Busch, ...

Dare to Be True: Living in the Freedom of Complete Honesty

WaterBrook Press, 2003

At Last! - Scriptural Truth and Real World Applications!
Perhaps, like me, you have often read titles on Christian ethics and felt that the author did not really live in the real world the rest of us face each day. In "Dare to Be True" Roberts has tackled a difficult subject with a healthy balance of scriptural instruction combined with tangible illustrations from everyday life. The world needs more books on practical Christian ethics for the layman, ...

Best text on geriatric health for dental professionals
Be able to gather information on geriatric health in one source. Great reference text for the dental office that sees older adults.

The Merck Manual of Medical Information: Home Edition (Merck Manual of Medical Information Home Edition)

32 reviews, 2008

A Book Everybody Should Have Around!
This is a wonderful summary of general medical information written in simple terms so this is a great addition to the family. It is very current in describing medical understanding of a variety of illnesses, and it provides a solid foundation upon which you can start doing more research on the Internet for the condition that you may be interested in finding about. It even suggests temporary ...

Neural Smithing: Supervised Learning in Feedforward Artificial Neural Networks

7 reviews
Russell D. Reed, Robert J. Marks II

The MIT Press, 1999

Run out of ideas to improve your Neural Network?
Many textbooks can help me to understand the different concepts of neural network, but not the practical tips needed to optimize neural network anlysis and implementation. The topics covered are reminicent to those discussed in part 2 and 3 of the Neural Network FAQ. In chapter 6, the relationships between learning rate, momontum, trainig time and learning modes are presented graphically. With ...

Case Files Pediatrics (Lange Case Files)

5 reviews
Eugene C. Toy, Robert J. Yetman, ...

McGraw-Hill Medical, 2003

Excellent light read for Step 2 CK
I started using Case Files halfway through my 3rd year as it was gaining popularity. My shelf grades soared with this light reading. Unfortunately, I had pediatrics before I learned about the Case Files series. So, for Step 2, I needed a good review source. I read this in 2 days and peds was one of my best sections on Step 2. I can't stress enough how the layout of this series lends to a ...

After "I Believe": Experiencing Authentic Christian Living

2 reviews
Mark D. Roberts

Baker Books, 2002

An excellent primer on the fundamentals of Christian living.
I sometimes liken what passes for Christianity today as a process of administering the equivalent of a religious vaccine--they introduce a watered down shadow of Christianity that has the effect of rendering the recipient immune to the real thing, should he ever see it. Although I suppose this is not just a modern day phenomenon--as C. S. Lewis noted long ago, the reason so few fail at ...

Can We Trust the Gospels?: Investigating the Reliability of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John

13 reviews
Mark D. Roberts

Crossway Books, 2007

using accessible history to remove an obstacle to faith.
The Christian faith really rests, on an individual level, what is a person to make of Christ. Is the witness provided by others reliable that it changes everything, or is the witness nothing more than the exaggerated telling of a mystic teacher in Roman Palestine 2,000 years ago. Mark Roberts, a Harvard educated, PC-USA minister has made available to as probably a broad a modern lay audience as ...

No Holds Barred: Wrestling with God in Prayer

3 reviews
Mark D. Roberts

WaterBrook Press, 2005

An invigorating breath of fresh air
If your prayers feel routine, tired or cliché, get ready for a prayer shift. In NO HOLDS BARRED: Wrestling with God in Prayer, Mark Roberts (DARE TO BE TRUE, JESUS REVEALED) mines the Psalms for ways to move us from perfunctory prayer to an all-out, nothing-held-back conversation with God. "He wants us to come at him with everything we've got," says Roberts. In each chapter, Roberts explores a ...

Pediatrics: PreTest Self Assessment and Review (Pretest Series)

5 reviews
Robert J. Yetman, Mark D. Hormann

McGraw-Hill Medical, 2006

Probably the best step 2 book in this series.
This is probably the best single source for pediatric prep for step 2. I've gone through the Lorin book and found it to be too picky vs. the step 2 exam. If you want to go into peds, the Lorin book will help you later, but for shear step 2 prep, this is the book to get. Pertinent questions and nothing esoteric. Fast read. I think i bought if for about $20. Well worth it. Trust me. I scored > 2 sd ...

Whole-Body Dentistry: Discover The Missing Piece To Better Health

17 reviews
Mark A. Breiner, Marietta Anastassatos

Quantum Health Press, LLC, 1999

If you have teeth, you should read this book.
Written in language a common person can understand. Very informative concerning how the teeth are connected to all parts of the body and not just separate pieces of the body. As a novice in learning about whole body health, this book helped me tremendously to understand meridians and the improtance of a healthy mouth.

Classical Mythology: with Ovid's Metamorphoses

8 reviews
Mark P. O. Morford, Robert J. Lenardon, ...

Oxford University Press, USA, 2002

thru a distant lens
This well honed 8th edition is an entrancing and beautiful description of the mythology of ancient Greece and Rome. The emphasis is Greece, naturally, since the Romans based so much of their beliefs on the Greeks. No prior knowledge of the subject is assumed. But the book is not some simple entry level exposition, like some freshman texts. Instead, Morford goes into a fair amount of detail ...

The Nazareth Jesus Knew

1 review
Joel Kauffman

Nazareth Village, 2005

Fantastic photographs!
This book contains innumerable fantastic photographs, information on daily life in Jesus' time and illuminating facts about his teachings. For example, with the Prodigal Son, when he put his signet ring on his finger, he gave him the ability to sign documents in his own name. When he kissed him on the neck, he honored him, for the one of lesser status would reach lower, and at the extreme a slave ...

The Communicator's Commentary: Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther (Communicator's Commentary Ot)

1 review
Mark D. Roberts

W Publishing Group, 1993

A readable and relevant introduction to these Biblical books
Roberts has provided a valuable service to pastor and student alike. He addresses the thornier problems of Ezra and Nehemiah; all the while using them as a practical text for training Christian leaders. Perhaps most helpful is his ability to demonstrate the practical relevance (and rich, implied spirituality) of the seemingly non-theistic Biblical book of Esther.

Mastering Oracle8i

Robert G. Freeman, Mark D. Blomberg

Sybex Inc, 2001

Great book!
This is another one of Robert's (and others) great works! This book is written well, and is geared towards providing the DBA early in his/her career the information needed to master the Oracle database and take the next step to becoming a senior DBA, and then on to being an expert. Each section provides detail explanations on how each piece of the system works, why it's there, how to ...

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (The Emc Masterpiece Series Access Editions)

290 reviews
Mark Twain, Robert D. Shepherd

Emc Pub, 1997

Yes, it's a classic for a reason.
I somehow tragically managed to make my way to adulthood with never reading anything but the kiddie version of this book. When I found this book for super-cheap in the teachers' lounge book sale and I figured "hey, why not?" And thus I picked it up and immediately fell in love with the sheer Old-South charm that only Twain can deliver. Really, people, it is no wonder that this book is such a ...
