The Quiet Eye: A Way of Looking At Pictures 5 reviews
Sylvia Shaw Judson
Regnery Publishing, Inc., 1988
The most beautiful book
This small book is so beautiful that it passes into the word "sacred." It doesn't do it justice to describe it briefly as a small book with photos of works of art (painting, sculpture, etc) on one side of the page, and a small quote from scripture or poetry, etc on the facing page. Each pair of art/quote is placed before us so that it may be a portal to meditation and conversation with God. In ...

Pray with your eyes open: Looking at God, ourselves, and our prayers7 reviews
Richard L Pratt
Presbyterian and Reformed Pub. Co, 1987
VERY Good Book on Prayer
Books on prayer abound within Christian circles. Christian bookstores are filled with such books, with many such books acting more like 12 step programs for revitalizing prayer so we can get what we want, than in providing a Biblically based theology and perspective on prayer that can actually anchor our outlook in prayer in the Bible. Pratt predominately succeeds in doing this. As Pratt ...

How to Reach and Teach All Students-Simplified3 reviews
Elizabeth Breaux
Eye on Education,, 2006
Excellent ideas on how to improve your teaching
I was in the midst of doing classroom observations and puzzled by the lack of control the teachers had over their students when I decided to look for some books to guide me through my experience. I cannot express how glad I am that I happened upon this particular one. As I read through it, I observed the teachers doing things EXACTLY as Elizabeth Breaux describes in terms of "what works" and ...

Red Clay & Vinegar: Looking at Family Through the Eyes of a Southern Child5 reviews
Naomi Haines Griffith
River City Pub, 1998
A must read for moms
I started reading this book last night after putting the kids down, intending to read a chapter to wind down. At 1:30 am, I was closing the book, wishing there were more to read. This is the absolute best book I have read in quite some time that reaches to the core of who we are as family, and what we could do to strengthen it. What I especially liked was the fact it wasn't preachy, textbook ...

Looking at Luke Through the Eyes of Hope: Vol 14 reviews
Dave Hope
1st Books Library, 1999
Best commentary on the "Book of Luke" I've ever read.
Being a fan of "Kansas", I was very interested in purchasing this book and I was not disappointed. This book will challenge your Christian thinking in a way that it has probably never been challenged before. I think what I like the most about it,is the honesty and unique way the Gospel of Luke is presented. It's certainly not what you hear today from the majority of radio preachers. I can't wait ...

Experienced this method
I have not read this book, HOWEVER I have experienced this method and it worked for me in 20 minutes FIRST TIME. I had been haunted with a very painful childhood memory well into adulthood, and within those 20 minutes, it became no longer painful, but an easy recall with NO PAIN attached!!! I am NOT one to go easily into hypnotism, though this isnt THAT... but only my idea it could be.. but ...

Free to Love: Looking at the Law Through Jesus' Eyes5 reviews
Timothy E. White
Tate Publishing & Enterprises, 2008
Free to Love: A look at the Law through Jesus Eyes
This enlightening book reveals that the 10 Commandments were not written to put us in bondage but as a path leading to freedom. As each of the ten were broken down chapter by chapter, I was able to see that God doesn't want to push me down. He wants to pick me up. I read it more than once to make sure all of the truth held in its pages saturated my mind and my heart. I would recommend it as a ...

Dean Knudsen
Scotts Bluff National Monument Oregon Trail Museum Association, 1997
The Definative Collection of Jackson's Art
No lover of the old west and its art could call his collection complete without this book. And no one was better qualified to write it than author and curator Dean Knudsen. It's given our family hours of pleasure.

Mary Clark Coy
The Author, 1998
great resource for residents and tourists
I was excited to come across this book. As a homeschooling mom and resident of Charleston, SC at the time, this guide provided an organized tour of downtown Charleston, including key historical buildings and tidbits I hadn't found anywhere else. I recommend that this book be reprinted. It's serves as a great resource for residents and tourists.

The Critical Eye : An Introduction to Looking at Movies1 review
Kasdan, Saxton
Kendall/Hunt Publishing Company, 1988
Clear and readable introduction to the techniques and interp
An excellent summary and profound analysis of the techniques and interpretation of movies. I particularly like the authors analysis of Casablanca. In addition, the analysis of Little Big Man is seminal in an understanding of Native American portrayal in contemporary film.

Walter Owen
G. Richards, Fronto, limited, 1931
Bizarre Fantasy of World War I
Walter Owen created a gut-wrenching, dehumanizing fugue on modern warfare. Foreshadowing horrors to come, he envisions trainloads of corpses gorging the slaughter houses with human remains to be turned into meat. The mass rallies, the hysteria, the utter insanity of war overcome the read with dread. Appreciated by the literary crowd (e.g. Iain Sinclair) and horror fandom, reading this book once ...

At 80: An Old Bird's Eye View of the Year Following September 11, 20011 review
Leon Wofsy
Aventine Press, 2003
A unique chronicle of a world-changing time
The best of many excellent things about this book is that there is no neat pigeonhole to put it in, either in style or content. It's not a personal memoir, an analytic essay, or a journalistic account of the traumatic year after 9-11. Rather, it's a unique combination of all these; and in that way corresponds to and illuminates how most of us actually dealt with the awful roller coaster ride. ...

University of Texas Press, 2006
Mystery, Magic, and Cruel Realities: The Art of Graciela Iturbide
Graciela Iturbide finds strange creations through her photographic lens. She is able to document both people and events without manufacturing false perceptions, but she is also able to show us the darker aspects of the human and animal spirit in a way few other photographers achieve. This large, elegantly produced book is a fine survey of her portraits of subjects from Mexico and South America ...
