Sharon Carmack
Betterway Books, 1999
A 'must - have', truly wonderful book
I have been caught up in this addictive hobby of genealogy for fifteen years now and have over the years tried many different ways of dealing with my ever-increasing pile of info and documents. I had tried folders and various types of filing systems; I had even tried my own numbering and coding systems with disasterous consequences; they just didn't work. In desperation I ordered this book and ...

Building an Effective Women's Ministry: *Develop a Plan *Gather a Team * Watch God Work 4 reviews
Sharon Jaynes
Harvest House Publishers, 2005
Wonderful Resource for Women In Ministry
Although Building an Effective Women's Ministry is 363 pages long, I devoured it, cover-to-cover, in one sitting. The writing style was as comfortable as the content was practical. As I read, my highlighter pen flew along, tracing the many "a-ha" moments inspired along the way. The acronyms, ministry models, suggested timelines and sections on ministry personalities were especially insightful. ...

This is the true story of Deb Raymer, and her daughter Sabrina, and how I came to know them.

mental ray for Maya, 3ds Max, and XSI: A 3D Artist's Guide to Rendering20 reviews
Boaz Livny
Sybex, 2007
Very Useful Book for 3D Artists
I had been using mental ray for rendering for a long time but I still wasn't very clear on some of the principles of use. After reading this book I understood mental ray far better. The concepts are explained very clearly and it goes through the algorithms in great depth. Its too difficult for a beginner but somebody who is already experienced in mental ray and has a strong background in ...

Bantam, 1997
"Find your innocence..." And never lose it again!!!
There were times as I was reading this book that I cringed and thought to myself "How could she be so stupid." But I had to remind myself of her tender age in this story. She did a lot of things at a young age that many of us may never do in our entire lifetime. Prostitution, Pimping and drugs. This book had so much purpose and that's why I call it "One of the best book that I read all year". ...

Urgent Message from Mother: Gather the Women, Save the World18 reviews
Jean Shinoda Bolen
Conari Press, 2008
Time to Pull Out a Sixth Star
For me this book is a Bible.
It's worth six stars at least, and in my opinion Amazon.com needs to dust off a sixth star to accommodate it.
As you glide through Urgent Message, you begin to feel hopeful again, safe, and sheltered, and you think maybe it's possible after all for humanity to save itself. One reason for this is that Bolen not only lays out a roadmap to the future, she ...

Attn: Save the Liturgy, Save the World!
For the love of all that is holy, do not buy this for your church. Unless you want shallow badly written folk music... But you can listen to that at home! Don't inflict it on others!

Chronicle Books, 1998
One of the BEST books on the subject
Grew up with vast fields of French lavender as a child and lavender is a daily part of my life still. Love this book because it gives so much useful information on soil requirements, watering and best type of lavender to grow where you live. There is also a great recipe section in the back part of the book with the Buttermilk Lavender Bread and Lavender Lemon Shortbread (which is a cookie) being ...

Gather Catholic Hymnal1 review
G I a Pubns, 1988
Good contemporary Church hymnal, but no chord changes
The only problem I have with this publication of the Gather hymnal is the lack of chord changes. This would open the book up to far more uses since many musicians, myself included, probably would want to avoid lugging around the large binder that contains the full piano sheet music.
My solution is simply to work through it and insert the chord changes myself.
