William A Owens
Scribner, 1966
An American classic
I believe William A. Owens is all too often overlooked as one of Americas greatest authors and this book just proves my point. It is a great piece of work and an inspiration to all that read it.

Gulfport Blues6 reviews
William Owen
Town Square Books, 2001
A spectacular account of life on the Gulf Coast
This book is wonderful both for its content and ability to describe the Coast's landscape and lifestyle perfectly. I travel to the Coast regularly, and Owen's descriptions are right on target. I read the book in about three days, it was so good. Not only are the books descriptions of the Coast spectacular, the story is great too. I thoroughly enjoyed every character, plot twist, surprise, and ...

Graphic Classics: Mark Twain (Graphic Classics (Graphic Novels))2 reviews
Mark Twain
Eureka Productions, 2007
"There was a feller here once, by the name of..."
Mark Twain is undoubtedly America's "Great Man of Letters." A complicated author, he flowed easily through humor, satire, psychological horror, politics, religion, and pretty much any other subject imaginable. He was able to hold up a dark mirror to society, and stare unflinchingly at the organizations, traditions, and political and moral decay that always threaten to drown a civilization. And he ...

Reclaiming the Center: Confronting Evangelical Accommodation in Postmodern Times3 reviews
Millard J. Erickson, Paul Kjoss Helseth, ...
Crossway Books, 2004
Review of Reclaiming the Center
Experience over doctrine. Inclusivistic instead of exclusivistic. Discomfort with propositional truth. Synergistic. It may sound like ordinary heterodoxy, but it is a movement posed to take over normative church life--indeed, in some circles, it has already done so.
Reclaiming the Center seeks to reclaim what is being lost through the influence of "postconservative evangelicals" like ...

A season of weathering,1 review
William A Owens
Scribner, 1973
It Sure Gits to the Gizzard
Recalling a northeast Texas Baptist revival, William A. Owens takes us with him to the sawdust-floored tent where a missionary revivalist is leading the congregation in the old hymn "I Shall Not Be Moved." As the music ends, an old woman observes with conviction, "That song sure gits to the gizzard!" (I suspect that the adverb sounded more like "shawr" than "sure," and "gits" is exactly how she ...

Obama: Why Black America Should Have Doubts2 reviews
William Owens
iTouch Publishers, 2008
Insightful
Mr. Owens spoke at an event held locally. Although I did not have the opportunity to hear his presentation in its entirety, I understood the gist and was intrigued by the title of the book.
I read the book and found it very insightful. The book challenges readers to perform a side-by-side comparison of their Christian values and the values that Barack Obama espouses. Those values that ...

Order in the House1 review
Arron D. Williams
Bookwell Publishing, 2000
It brought my life to order
This book caused me to review my life and vocation in the Body of Christ. I was impressed by it to seek God for my calling in the church. No longer will I sit idly by while many souls are lost in the world I live in. I was encouraged to know that I am needed in the church for God's purpose. I thank the author for writing this book. All who read it will also be blessed and provoked toward labor in ...

High Seas: The Naval Passage to an Uncharted World1 review
William A. Owens
US Naval Institute Press, 1995
High Seas
This book is about change and innovation in military institutions.
Military organizations, especially successful ones, normally tend to resist change. Order reigns, and there are reasons why this is so. In a very real sense, the lives of the individuals who serve in military organizations depend on other military personnel to act predictably, to be where plans say they should be, at the ...

Magazine Design1 review
William Owen
Thames & Hudson, 1992
A neat history of regular interval publishing.
I got this wonderful book in 1992 and I've recently re-read it and I still think it is the best survey of magazine design. Magazines (and newspapers) are rather unique in their design because the words and the visuals are so tightly connected. Other areas of print design can be taught in design schools but to adequately cover publication design schools would have to employ sub-editors and other ...

Avi Pub Co, 1986
The Egg's Bible
This is the book for those involved with the egg business. The authors use a clear an easy language whithout losing the aim of a good value technical and scientific information. It's a good and quick reference for those in production, processing and industry of egg products as well for the consumers of such products. I've been using this book by a long time (back editions) and it never left ...

Research & Education Association, 1998
Great Comprehensive ExCET Study Book
This book is probably the best comprehensive study book for the Professional Development part of the ExCET exam. It has lots of information and sample test questions. It is very well written and was suggested in my school district as the best book to get. There is a study book that works well with it (kind of like a workbook) called Pass the ExCET on Your First Try. I highly recommend The Best ...
