The Best I Have Puchased
This Bible, by far, is the best I own. I have the Open, the Nelson, the Spirit Filled, the Full Life, the Thompson Chain, the Dake, and the Scofield. This one is excellent. If you are looking for a Bible that deals with the doctrines from a basic standing with practical applications; this is it.I must say that I have found that the best feture in this Bible is it's full discussion on Becoming ...

He uses his life experience--and the difficult lessons used--to outline a relevant plan for conquering the obstacles of life we all face, whether in the workplace or in our homes. While it is true that our own individual hurdles may not ...

Beverly Cleary
Cornerstone Books, 1990
Pest? Nope, just Excited
It's finally happened! Ramona Quimby is old enough to attend kindergarten! She can't wait to do big kid stuff like learn to read and participate in show and tell. Parts of school are confusing, like the song about the dawnzer. But she is making new friends, like Davey, her first crush, and Susan, whose hair is so curly it just cries out to be tugged. But when things go horribly wrong, will ...

Chess the easy way9 reviews
Reuben Fine
Cornerstone Library, 1973
Unusually valuable text which urgently deserves re-printing
Fine's Chess the Easy Way is somewhat mis-named. Although the text starts from the rudiments and could be used for self-instruction by an individual who has never played the game before, the tone and point of view are no-nonsense and tell the reader immediately the book is intended for someone with much more than a casual interest in the game. I first was given this book when I was a child. It ...

The art of selfishness (Cornerstone Library books)9 reviews
David Seabury
Cornerstone Library ; distributed by Simon & Schuster, 1972
I have to have something to give.
My Mother and Father said it the wrong way. They told me to share and not be selfish.
What they should have said is share don't be greedy. Because of the way it was put I have had a negative outlook at the word selfish.
It made my life hard to fulfill, and being raised as a Catholic it was compounded even more. The Catholic Church pushes its impression of the Bible, and is always telling us to ...

Superb Book!
This book is one I am using everyday since I read it to develop my skills to approach a prospect, present a product in a way that adds value to the person purchasing it and close the sale tactfully. I recommend this book for anyone wanting to enjoy sales and improve their conversion rate.

Very comfortable bible...
This bible is a perfect size, not to big or small and the print is not large not too small, and there is something about the way in which it is bound that when it sits open it fits comfortably in your hand and the pages stay open until you change them, you know how some books are bound so when you open them you have to keep your hand on the page to keep it open, this is bound so that it stays ...

The Masters and The Path6 reviews
C.W. Leadbeater
Cornerstone Book Publishers, 2007
A wonderful set of insights from a pioneer of the New Age.
CW Leadbeater (CWL) was one of those early Theosophists who has had a profound influence on New Age thinking and Spiritual Philosophies. Several of his books were "simply" written and can be considered as landmarks for introducing new (if not ancient) ideas into the West. The Masters and the Path was written some years after the time of CWL's "falling out" with parts of the Theosophical Society, ...

A book for all ages, for all settings, for all reasons
I bought 12 Choices for my work -- and additional copies for my coworkers to use...but what I found was information that was useful to my spouse, my kids, my parents and my Sunday School class.
Mr. Cottrell has captured and condensed the most important and the most impactful choices we make throughout our lives. By providing an infrastructure so we can classify our choices, we understand ...

Zanoni: A Rosicrucian Tale6 reviews
Cornerstone Book Publishers, 2007
A "new age" book without the new age drivel
I have read few books that can artistically work with esoteric content without getting trite, awkward or moralistic. In my opinion, "The Celestine Prophecy" is a figment that should have been left sealed in the author's imagination. "Zanoni" on the other hand is a tale with an intriguing plot that all the while leads the reader into unexpected and profound esoteric content. This is a book I ...

The Cornerstone: Classroom Management That Makes Teaching More Effective, Efficient, and Enjoyable5 reviews
Angela Powell
Xulon Press, 2008
Classroom Management made Easy
I have used Ms. Powell's website for years, as a newer teacher, to get ideas and information for making my classroom run as smoothly as possible. The book reads much like her website: she is speaking to you as if you were sitting in the same room having a conversation about management. The tone is friendly and conducive to passing along information about managing a classroom to make the most out ...

Bible
Cornerstone Bible Publishers, 1999
Wonderful Bible with original translators' footnotes
When I bought this Bible, I was very pleased and surprised to find that it contains what most printings of the King James version don't seem to have: the original translators' footnotes. These are similar to the footnotes you find in a modern Bible that explain the literal meaning of a word or phrase or an alternate meaning. (I'm not talking about the study notes you see in a study Bible.) But ...

Bridge in the menagerie4 reviews
Victor Mollo
Cornerstone Library, 1968
Classic bridge fiction by a great author
This book was one of the first bridge fiction books I read when I started to play this game. It still rings true 20+ years after its first release. Mollo takes the reader on a trip to his imaginary bridge club and introduces all the regular players. A must read for any die hard bridge player. The sequeal Bridge in the Fourth Dimension is equally as good.

Masonic Enlightenment - The Philosophy, History and Wisdom of Freemasonry5 reviews
Cornerstone Book Publishers, 2006
Review by a life member of the Philalethes Society.
All I can say about this book is WOW! It is great, and as metioned on it's back cover, it really is a portable Masonic Education. All Master Masons will benefit from the wide range of Masonic subjects covered in this small book no matter how long they have been on the path. The book consists of easily read short Masonic essays by past authors who were recognized experts at the time of their ...

C.S. Lewis: Mere Christian4 reviews
Kathryn Lindskoog
Cornerstone Press Chicago, 2008
CAUTION: This book may ruin your vacation!
First of all, let me qualify my comments by saying that I am an ARDENT and DEVOTED C.S. Lewis fan. I have two shelves in one of my six sagging bookcases exclusively devoted to C.S. Lewis' works alone. Long ago, I committed myself to reading at least one book by Lewis each month of the year, and I have faithfully kept up this practice for many years now. I say all of this only to introduce ...
