True conversion
I first read this book almost twenty years ago. It had a profound on my thinking and my faith. In particular it was a challenge which caused me to re-order my priorities. What was more important - forms of worship or a world where children starve? Of course both are important but Jim Wallis reminds us with considerable clarity and skill that God's heart is well and truly on the side of the poor ...

Want to buy, sell or market a vacation home? Then, this is a "must read."

grading on a curve
If you're even thinking about the purchase of this book, chances are that you need it. You're beyond what the run of the mill loading manual is providing. It's not Hemingway, It even may leave some info to be desired. But if you're ready to do some work, no matter if it takes fire, hammer, and hacksaw. This is a good place to start. There are not a lot of choices out there on this type of ...

David Mann

Productivity Press, 2005

Great reference on real lean
This book fills an essential gap between Liker's Toyota Way and the many books on Lean Tools. We intentionally didn't begin our lean transformation in our large service orgnization until we had this book because we saw the folly in trying to implement a bunch of lean tools without the necessary management system. We have visited some Tier 1 Toyota suppliers and Kaizen really means ...

Choosing to Be Jewish: The Orthodox Road to Conversion

6 reviews
Marc D. Angel

Ktav Publishing House, 2005

A much-needed view of conversion
Rabbi Angel addresses problems in the current system of conversion. The Talmud says that rabbis should push a convert away with the weaker left hand and draw them nearer with the stronger right hand, but nowadays many rabbis are apparently left-handed! Many converts perceive much more pushing away than being drawn near. This book is not a "how to" guide for converts as much as a ...

Understanding Religious Conversion

1 review
Lewis R. Rambo

Yale University Press, 1995

Adequate, without breathtaking revelations.
Lewis Rambo presents chapters on various aspects of religious conversion, such as social context, religious experience, apostasy, and missionaries. Although he tries to cover many kinds of conversion, inluding intensifying commitment to neglected religious practices, he seems pre-occupied with conversion to monotheistic religions in colonial situations and modern American new religions. He ...
