This IS the Ultimate Knitting book
I just recently got back into knitting. I understand some of the basics (knit, purl, casting off), but I am still just a novice. The illustrations are excellent! I have found these to be very helpful. I used to go to the internet for help and would waste time searching through site after site. No more, this is the first place that I go to now. In many cases this book will show you how to do ...

"The consciousness of salvation comes to me afresh each day. I am turned around..." *
There are few people who have done more to keep Dorothy Day's words before the public than Robert Ellsberg. As both editor of her writings (By Little and By Little, 1983; Dorothy Day: Selected Writings, 1992; A Penny a Copy, 1995) and publisher (Orbis) of books by and about her, Ellsberg continues to remind us of Dorothy's vision of a Christianity that is orthodox in theology and radical (in ...

Great study book for a group
My husband and I used this book to do an almost year long study with our house church group a few years ago. We did a chapter a week and had discussions and worked through the Points to Ponder and Questions together. Probably time to revisit this book I think! Definitely one you can do over and over again

Wonderful audio book!
I drive 2 hours round trip each day to work. As such, I listen to LOTS of audio books. Middlesex was a treat!!! The story itself is beautiful, but it really comes alive with the narrator's depiction of the characters. If the book is too big and time is too short, try the audio version. You won't be sorry!!

Nourishment for the human spirit, using rest to return to delight
This book arrived yesterday, and I stayed up late reading it last night and this morning. I could hardly put it down. Many of the thoughts hit me as so profound, that I had to pause to think before I could continue reading. "In the relentless busyness of modern life, we have lost the rhythm between work and rest. All life requires a rhythm of rest." (p. 1) "When we live without listening ...

Gary is the man....
Gary Vee has done what many have tried and few have succeeded in doing-- he has made the wine world accessible to people who are not brought up in that world. His enthusiasm and character may be the driving force behind Wine Library TV, but it's his knowledge that cements himself as a true wine Expert.

Jesus is Not Safe!
from the back cover: Jesus is Not Safe, but He is SATISFYING! Each of us has a restlessness, an inconsolable longing within. Some try to satisfy it with scenic vacations, creative accomplishments, huge cinematic productions, sexual exploits, sports extravaganzas, hallucinogenic drugs, ascetic rigors, managerial excellence, and more. Yet our longing remains. Why? John Piper turns your heart ...

A Definite Delight
This is the first novel I've read by Angie Daniels and I couldn't put it down! It was excitingly erotic, yet had just enough sweet sensuality for the hopeless romantic. The passion and heat between Reggie and Berlin just leapt off the pages. Definitely needed some ice water and my hubby near by when I read this one. Reggie was a brotha that definitely had it goin' on. He had a booming business ...

Ryken's book a Delight
I taught Hermeneutics, a course on how to study the Bible, for 13 years at S.C.S.E. I read "Words of Delight" (when it was still a two volume work) six years into my work with the school and found that it fit the bill for what I wanted to accomplish with my students. The book is divided into four parts treating Biblical Narrative first. Part two focuses on Biblical Poetry; Part Three on ...

The clear speaking clear thinking poet
This is clear- speaking clear- thinking poetry. Kooser advocates communication in poetry. He advocates thinking about the needs of the reader.He has said that as poetry is not so important for most people he tends to write short poems that they can take in in a relatively small period of time. He is the opposite of the outrageous, self- important demanding Dylan Thomas-like poet, or the exuberant ...

Absolute essential
This book is an absolute essential to the right reader. That right reader is either a low-level coder, a high-level logic designer, or someone who builds tools and libraries for same. In other words, not a lot of people. This is hacking at its bit-level finest, though. If you're among those few, or think you might be, or want a good laugh at the people who are, dig in. It's good for things ...
