Elisabeth Elliot

Fleming H. Revell Co, 1981

Wonderful
This book was awesome. I cannot say enough good things. Elisabeth Elliot is a woman of wisdom and insight. It was like having my grandmother sit me down and talk to me about the kind of man I need to be. She is a wealth of ideas, principles, and ways of Living. She has walked the walk and knows God. She was married to a great man of God. This is a must read. If you are a man...but it. If you are ...

The Legends of Wrestling - "Classy" Freddie Blassie : Listen, You Pencil Neck Geeks

28 reviews
Classy Freddie Blassie, Keith Elliot Greenberg, 2004

Entertaining collection of wrestling anecdotes!
This book is like watching a documentary on the life of Freddie Blassie, it doesn't read like a book, you feel like Blassie is talking to you. It's amazing that a man that went out of his way to make people hate him somehow managed to endear himself to the public the way Freddie Blassie did. He's the man that you love to hate. The stories in this book are often told from the point of view ...

Chance to Die, A: The Life and Legacy of Amy Carmichael

Revell, 2005

Life changing message
I have read this book twice over the last decade and each time it has given me life principles applicable to the time of life in which I read it. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who needs an example to live by. I couldn't help but think that if God could do such things in Amy Carmichael, He could certainly do the same in me. What a challenge!

A Day in the Life of Africa

Tides Foundation, 2002

I love it more
Ahhh. This book, obviously, is many things to many people; not unlike its bountiful subject matter--- the original mother, Africa. It is also many things to me, each equally beautiful. Most important, it is a powerfully evocative visual link to the 3 years of memories I carry of my life in West Africa as a Peace Corps volunteer. The photographers saw and captured a lot of what I deeply love ...

WWE Legends - Superstar Billy Graham: Tangled Ropes

27 reviews
Billy Graham, Keith Elliot Greenberg

World Wrestling Entertainment, 2007

The things you finally discover
A little background: I grew up in Central Illinois, and began watching "All Star Wrestling" on Saturday mornings. I would see these bulky bruisers like Nick Bockwinkle and "Da Crusher!", and really thought this stuff was real. Then, out of nowhere, came this flamboyant, trash-talking, electrifying persona called Superstar Billy Graham, with his tie-dyed tights, Elton-John rhinestone ...

A Cross Stitcher's Oriental Odyssey

Joan Elliot

David & Charles Publishers, 2004

So Stunning!
Great collection of Japan-inspired cross-stitch projects! Illustrations are in excellent color, stitching charts are very large, i.e. for those projects A4 or larger size, the stitching chart is split between 3-4 pages, each containing a quarter of the design. I spent about 2 days just enjoying the book itself and now I can't wait to start on my very first project. As an admirer of "everything ...

Calculus (College Review Series)

Elliot Gootman Ph.D.

Barron's Educational Series, 1997

Absolutely a fantastic general review
This book doesn't cover all there is to cover in Calculus 1. It can't, it's too tiny. But what it does do it take you through the logic of increasingly abstract concepts. I found this enormously helpful beyond just helping me understand the concepts (though it did so admirably). I found that this careful progression helped me formalize my own thought process, helped me get more logical. ...

A Must Read!
I read this book, probably 24 years ago, so this one, I purchased for a friend, but this book had a radical impact upon my life and I'm forever grateful for the life and ministry of Elizabeth Elliot. Dian

Walker Books Ltd, 2004

One of our favorites!
This wonderful book is tough to find in our local bookstores, but luckily we've been able to order many through Amazon to give as gifts. AND HERE'S TO YOU is filled with beautiful full-page pictures that our 8-month old daughter loves to look at and touch. The story is about appreciating all that is around us, the birds, the dogs, the bugs and ourselves! I highly recommend this book for your ...

Taking Woodstock

9 reviews
Elliot Tiber, Tom Monte

Square One Publishers, 2007

"It takes a village" ... and half a million people
The above would be an appropriate subtitle for this heartfelt but energetic and witty coming-of-age autobiography/memoir by Elliot Tiber, whose main claim to fame is that he fought the petty politics and narrow-mindedness of his small town of Bethel, NY, in order to make possible the Woodstock Festival in 1969. The author (born Eliyahu Teichberg) grew up in the richly ethnic neighborhood of ...

Dream a Little Dream of Me: The Life of Cass Elliot

Eddi Fiegel

Chicago Review Press, 2007

Very Sad and Selfish people
This book was very good, but it was sad to find out how really pathetic these talented people were. John Philips was the worst of the group, what a egotistical and controlling as*hole! I was totally blown away by the actions of this famous group! I understand that this was the 60's , but not everyone was doing drugs and laying around stone out of their minds. Cass Elliott brags that she dropped ...

Tree of Souls: The Mythology of Judaism

Howard Schwartz

Oxford University Press, USA, 2004

An extraordinary "tree"!
"The Tree of Souls" is a rare book one wants to treasure in one's library, yet it will not suffice just to have it sitting on a shelf. It should be placed on a desk close by, in order to be able to reach out and read once, twice, indeed many times the fascinating stories that engulf us as soon as we open the gates to the contents of the book. Once the reader finds himself inside this wondrous ...

Edward Hopper

MFA Publications, 2007

An Excellent Look at Hopper
One of the highlights of my summer was attending the Hopper exhibition at Boston's Museum of Fine Arts, for which this volume (published by the MFA) was the companion text. At 288 pages, mostly filled with suberb reproductions of Hopper's paintings and sketches, this volume is comprehensive enough for even the most devoted Hopper fan. Perhaps only Gail Levin's "Catalogue Raisonne" offers a more ...

Complete Vegetarian Cuisine

Rose Elliot

Pantheon, 1990

Yummylicious!!!
I love this book. My favorite recipe is for potato leek soup. It is so yummy and it is low fat which is surprising since it doesn't taste like it is. I looked at a lot of other books for that recipe and they were kind of deadly (so much fat!). This book is beautifully illustrated. In addition to the many recipes that range from main dishes to deserts it contains sections describing ...

Violence, Villainy, Victimization...
... elements of a powerful film on the order of Yojimbo or The Good the Bad and the Ugly - films where a defenseless minority in a village somewhere is terrorized by the rowdiest elements of their majority neighbors, but this time no Toshiro Mifune or Clint Eastwood is on hand to set things right. By individual violence and/or mob intimidation, the minority is driven from its homes and property, ...

Izaak Walton

Elliot Stock, 1877

How The "Brotherhood of the Angle" Invites a Trout to Dinner
Three hundred fifty years ago Izaak Walton wrote of the curious blend of inner peace and giddy excitement which the amateur naturalist finds at streamside. He invites us to stroll with him through the countryside, discussing the mythology, superstition, and the science of England's aquatic fauna. It is an unrushed journey, though we often arise at sunrise, and the author introduces us to many of ...

Used it in place of my assigned financial accounting book...
NYU's Stern School Of Business uses this book and its a well-crafted introduction to financial accounting. While taking accounting at the other New York business school, I deep sixed my assigned accounting book and instead borrowed my wife's. It coverage of topics and pedagogical flow are quite approachable and manageable. Struggling friends begain to purchase it for themselves. An excellent ...
