EXCELLENT PRAYER BOOK BOTH FOR REFERENCE AND FOR REGULAR READING
The secular prayerful person may find in this prayer book a schema of prayer accessible to and useful for the person who cannot give up their day job for contemplative purposes. I keep a copy on my prayer table at all times, and find it very useful for constant prayer. Unlike other such Books of Common Prayer or Monastic Diurnals, it is not overwhelming in its requirements.

Watercolor: Simple, Fast and Focused (Practical Art Books)

Mel Stabin

Watson-Guptill, 1999

An Accurate Title for Stabin's Book
Stabin's book is aptly titled "Simple, Fast, and Focused". His book on watercolor has the perfect balance of visuals and text, each commenting on and highlighting the other. His style is ecclectic and will appeal to any taste, I think, and for a beginner or intermediate paiter, the book can help one make great strides in technique as well as artistic vision. Stabin's video, by the way, (on ...

refreshing perspective
As a pagan I was drawn to this book because of the title. I have been initiated into the traditional Usui system of Reiki. I've read other books on Reiki and found this to be very refreshing and open-minded. It resonated for me because the author is able to explore many views in a sensitive manner. Quite a different approach from what I had been exposed to in my training and experience with other ...
