This pocketbook explores the world of the hospital, the role of each member, ...

A Still More Excellent Way: How St. Paul Points Us to Jesus 2 reviews
Joseph Durepos
Loyola Press, 2008
Reflection for the day
Joe begins with a very good translation of Paul's Letters. His reflections on each identified passage are contemporary and pack a thought provoking gem of spiritual awareness.I find myself thinking of his words of application throughout the day. I only regret that Joe stopped at 52 entries.

The Excellent Investment Advisor29 reviews
Nick Murray
Nick Murray Co Inc, 1996
One of the difinitive books on the business...
My general rule of thumb is: If it was written by Nick Murray, I'd do well to read it. This book is no exception and is well worth the price of admission. What can one say that has not already been said? Still I thought I needed to second those reviews. The thought processes, the methodology, the scripts, the over-riding philosophy; all of it is helpful. That said, perhaps the most valuable ...

The Excellent Wife Study Guide13 reviews
Martha Peace
Focus Publishing, Incorporated, 1998
Life Changing!
I'm personally involved in a Bible study that revolves around this book. I am closer than ever to my husband. I feel that God has used this author to reach out to women to clarify HIS plan of marriage, unity, and Holy Submission.
Submission to my husband does NOT mean I'm a weak, spineless jelly fish who has no input into my life.
Submission is recogizing my husband's authority and ...

My Most Excellent Year: A Novel of Love, Mary Poppins, and Fenway Park11 reviews
Steve Kluger
Dial, 2008
Another Perfect Book
I discovered Steve Kluger by accident, when I picked up "The Last Days of Summer" at a book fair run by my temple a few years ago. It sat on a shelf for a while, and when I finally read it in 2004 I was knocked out. Since then, I made a point of reading everything by Steve. I was thrilled to hear about the release of "My Most Excellent Year" recently. Only after purchasing it did I realize it was ...

Excellent Women (Penguin Classics)30 reviews
Barbara Pym
Penguin Classics, 2006
"Excellent Women" by Barbara Pym
Barbara Pym is as subtle and sharp as Jane Austen and gives an understated but accurate portrayal of what life must have been like for the single woman in the 1950's. Gentle humour suffuses the book with the characters springing to life in just a phrase or two. Each chapter ends gently with (what must have been for the suburban woman) a cliffhanger! Don't read all at once, but take in small doses ...

Even More Excellent HTML with Reference Guide1 review
Timothy Trainor
Career Education, 2002
This is a great book, HOWEVER...
This was my classroom text book the semester I took HTML. It's great. HOWEVER: make sure you get the reference manual. And if you don't, don't settle for a $2 refund. The reference manual is worth $20 at least.

Teaching Young Woman how to strive to be the Excellent Wife
This book and Bible Study was one of the best studies I have ever taught. Two years ago I got a group of young ladies together in my church, and challenged them to be Excellent Wives. Well, needless to say, we were all very blessed. I have been married 32 years and I couldn't believe all the good things I learned. I combined the lessons in this book with my life experiences to use as ...

Love: The More Excellent Way
Chuck Smith
The Word For Today, 2008
Ever since the first human pair craned their necks skyward to bask in a silvery full moon, men and women have rhapsodized about love. We say (and sing!) that "love makes the world go 'round," that "love is the answer," that "all you need is love." You might even say we glory in "the power of love." But what is love, really? And if it's so popular, then why dose it seem so hard to find?

The Lives of the Most Excellent Painters, Sculptors, and Architects (Modern Library Classics)
Giorgio Vasari
Modern Library, 2006
A painter and architect in his own right, Giorgio Vasari (1511-74) achieved immortality for this book on the lives of his fellow Renaissance artists, first published in Florence in 1550. Although he based his work on a long tradition of biographical writing, Vasari infused these literary portraits with a decidedly modern form of critical judgment. The result is a work that remains to this day the cornerstone of art historical scholarship. ...

I have had the good fortune of reading several of Kelley`s books and also been blessed to hear him speak on several visits to our church for the last 20yrs. My title speaks on his focus. Its an understatement to say this man has a gift to teach the ways of the Lord. He has spent hours before God.

Paul D. Escott
The University of North Carolina Press, 1988
A thorough, thoughtful social history.
Escott has written a well-research, scholarly study of how ordinary people in North Carolina, white and black, interacted with the political and social institutions of the day. This is an important social history worth the time of anyone interested in Southern history after the Civil War. Escott focuses in particular on five counties but his study is more broad-based than this indictes. He ...

They ultimately paid for their efforts with their lives. But their untimely murders shook Italy so hard they toppled its government. Theirs is a compelling story, full ...
