Protect Your Estate: Definitive Strategies for Estate and Wealth Planning from the Leading Experts

4 reviews
Robert A. Esperti, Renno L. Peterson

McGraw-Hill, 1999

Good Stuff!
I am an estate planning attorney, not affiliated with any of the author's companies, and I think this book is a "must read" for anyone who is serious about planning his/her estate. By the way, estate planning is for everone, not merely the "wealthy." The cost (in time and fees) to have a customed designed and implemented estate plan will probably be the best investment you will ever make to ...

Robert Peterson, Charles Tart

Hampton Roads Publishing Company, 1997

Still in shock! previous beliefs blown to bits!
Ha! f--king immortals who would have ever guessed? this book was written in a way by which the average human can gain valuable insight. written in simple language. The author reminds me of myself quite a bit, as far as initially being fearful and shocked by the concept of us, humans beings, possesing like a secret 3rd eye which would allows for us to see things and go to places simply by ...

Two Views of Hell: A Biblical & Theological Dialogue

10 reviews
Edward William Fudge, Robert A. Peterson

IVP Books, 2000

It won't please everyone, but it's very good
As one would expect from a debate of this public nature, the two authors are not trying to persuade one another, they are trying to persuade the reader. I am biased, since I was already a conditionalist when I read the book. I will say, however, that I think Fudge's case is considerably better, even if not perfect. Peterson at times quite outrageously misrepresents the conditionalist view. For ...

Only the Ball Was White: A History of Legendary Black Players and All-Black Professional Teams

17 reviews
Robert Peterson

Oxford University Press, USA, 1992

Oh, what a game.
Robert Peterson originally published this book in 1970 so it's really the original and standard history of the Negro Leagues. Peterson not only tells the history of these leagues and some of the great players, but also provides brief biographical sketches of dozens of players whose big league service would otherwise be lost to history. The book also has extensive appendices with annual standings ...

Geoffrey Hambrick, Kyle Brown, ...

IBM Press, 2008

A Superb Review of Java Persistence Technologies
This unique, well-produced book is, in fact, more than a review of today's leading Java persistence technologies. The book sets the stage with a view from 10,000 feet. The authors briefly recall the history of how we got to where we are today. This is a highly useful perspective that helps the reader understand how each technology milestone in turn contributed to the next one: from JDBC to ...

Hell on Trial: The Case for Eternal Punishment

8 reviews
Robert A. Peterson

P & R Press, 1995

An important book to read concerning the truth of Hell
Hell is a subject that is hard to deal with. This is the kind of subject most people just don't want to read in the Bible. This is the kind of subject most people seem to run screaming from because they think it is "mean" and "hard" to speak about what is true, that Hell is true. Even churches have done their best to white out all messages of the Bible concerning Hell. On the one hand, you ...

Pigskin: The Early Years of Pro Football

4 reviews
Robert W. Peterson

Oxford University Press, USA, 1997

Solid Pro Football History
What I most like about this book is the author's dedication to historical accuracy. It was apparent that the author weighed the reliability of different accounts of what happened in order to give a true picture of pro football's past. Often this meant discarding some of the more colorful but dubious stories frequently repeated in other books. I was impressed with the sources used for the ...

Loving Trust: The Right Way to Provide for Yourself and Guarantee...; Revised and Expanded

1 review
Robert A. Esperti, Renno L. Peterson

Viking Adult, 1994

Trust Me On This One
...In Loving Trust, the authors discuss various methods of estate planning (by estate planning, I'm talking about how you plan for the orderly disposition of your valuables after you die). They do a very good job, in my opinion, of laying out the basics concerning why you ought to make some sort of plan, and some of the preferred methods for doing so... The book goes over the advantages and ...

Why I Am Not an Arminian

5 reviews
Robert A. Peterson, Michael D. Williams

InterVarsity Press, 2004

I really enjoyed this one...
I have had classes with both of these fins scholars, and really enjoyed the experience. I thought this defense of their theological standpoint was very good. At central issue to the Reform belief system is that there is a tension between human responsibility and divine sovreignty. These two gentlemen are well-equipped to argue this point. I found their exposition of the main points of their ...

Hell Under Fire: Modern Scholarship Reinvents Eternal Punishment

5 reviews

Zondervan, 2004

Evangelical, Traditional and Biblically Faithful
Having already read the first book in what I hope is to be a continuing series, God Under Fire (Zondervan), and having read other works by most of the contributors to the present volume under review, I expected to gain from reading Hell Under Fire. I was not disappointed, and the essays contained in the book were all of a consistently high standard. The first essay was by Albert Mohler, and ...

Faith Comes by Hearing: A Response to Inclusivism

3 reviews

IVP Academic, 2008

Thorough answers to the question of inclusivism
Is explicit faith in Christ necessary for eternal salvation? Without a doubt, a question like this is provocative and elicits passion from all religious corners. Depending on the answer given, the church will either go forth in evangelistic endeavors or will jettison both the message and the mission of the gospel. In this brand new book, nine Christian theologians give us an excellent ...

Election and Free Will: God's Gracious Choice and Our Responsibility (Explorations in Biblical Theology)

3 reviews
Robert A. Peterson

P & R Publishing, 2007

Yields Theological Dividends
'Moralism is the making of performance - rather than grace - the standard or norm for acceptance.' pg 17 As such, grace is the divine means whereby God achieves His purposes through fallible people. Peterson's appraisal of the historical accrual of Free-will Theism and Calvinism sheds much light on centuries of controversy, arranging the defendants and claimants as sheep from one fold - all in ...
