Science Wins
On page 117, Frank Thomas states, "Standard clubs will do fine until you shoot consistently in the mid to low 70s." "Until then, work on improving you instead of your clubs." Finally, someone with substantial technical knowledge of the evolution of equipment and the history of golf has finally come out and said it. The job of manufacturers is to market and sell their products, but it matters ...

Direct Hit: Aiming Real Leaders at the Mission Field

4 reviews
Paul D. Borden

Abingdon Press, 2006

How To Turn Around Your Church
Few in the North American church scene have as much experience with local church turnaround as Paul Borden. What makes Direct Hit so useful is that Borden addresses why turnaround is so often talked about, but so rarely achieved. He gives very clear rules about: the timing of turnaround, the role of pastors and leaders, using outside help, and the necessity of mission. Many congregations do not ...

Direct Hits Publishing, 2008

Useful and fun
Direct Hits is a really helpful way to prepare for the SAT 1 Critical Reading and Writing. It uses lots of examples from life today to make learning vocabulary fun and easy. Best of all, the words really did appear on the recent SAT I took.

Direct Hits Publishing, 2008

Very Helpful SAT guide
Recommended by my college counselor, this book was very helpful in raising my Critical Reading and Writing score on the SAT. The words are grouped into logical and helpful categories, the examples are lively and easy to remember (and funny), and many of the words were on the June SAT! The groupings are short enough that one section can be done each day, and there are practice examples at the ...

Marketplace Books, Inc., 2004

Some of the best strategies for short-term and day traders!
I have read many reviews on other sites on this book and I am amazed by the amount of people that think for one second that Jeff Cooper would just give you a trading system for $100. I must admit, that with a little ingenuity one can make a lot of money with these strategies. You won't find an easier method of trading if you use just a little common sense and approach these strategies with a well ...

Plume, 2005

You will be surprised how interesting this book is!
If you are interested in understanding how international politics and business go hand in hand through dirty deals, and read interesting real-life stories which proves the points and shows how history is made, then this is the book for you. Those who write that this book lacks credibility because it has few or "vague" facts are obviously just trying to smear it for personal political reasons. ...

Things I should have learned in high school
I bought this as a gift, decided I'd better preview it first, and now I don't want to give it up. I'm ordering another one. Believe what the other 5-star reviewers have written.

helpful to help assocaite any possible intruders
this book is a list of spirits that come together. in the scriptures it says that if you leave your vessel swept and clean the spirits with come back in groups ( paraphrasing) - so this thesaurus is written by a deliverance minister and the spirits that he found group together. those negative spirits whose powers should be bound from having affect on your soul and have strong holds you should ...

Frank Vertosick

W. W. Norton, 2008

"Neurosurgeons do things that cannot be undone."
Originally published in 1996, "When the Air Hits Your Brain," by Dr. Frank Vertosick, is a mesmerizing insider's look at "an arrogant occupation" whose practitioners operate on the spinal cord and the human brain ("a trillion nerve cells storing electrical patterns more numerous than the water molecules of the world's oceans"). A neurosurgeon must be supremely confident in his ability to get the ...

Vintage, 1991

MICROCOSM OF AMERICA?
This book shook the music world when it was first released, which was when I first read it. I just recently picked it up and read it again, and it was still an equally mind-blowing experience. What was with those guys? Why did they feel the need to rip off every artist to the maximum possible extent? Couldn't they still have been just as powerful, just as legendary, and very nearly as ...

Lawrence Block

HarperTorch, 2002

Good, if a bit odd
Lawrence Block is one of those guys who apparently write at the speed of sound, or something. He's now got three series that I know of going, the dark but interesting Matt Scudder private eye series, Bernie Rhodenbarr, the burglar turned used bookstore owner, and of course the series starring Keller, the hit man with mundane everyday problems. This book, Hit List, is second in the series, and it ...

Light Entertainment, Yes. But Good Light Entertainment.
The contract killer was really brought to the apex of his literary career in THE DAY OF THE JACKAL, the novel by Frederick Forsyth in which the hired killer is paid to knock off Charles de Gaulle. Since then, our literary conception of the professional who has chosen this career path is of the cool, suave, international ladies man, with fine tastes and an exciting life. Then comes Lawrence ...

Nancy Griffin

Simon & Schuster, 1997

The funniest non-fiction book you will ever read
I read this book three years ago and I'm still laughing. Griffin & Masters have created THE required reading book on everything that is wrong with Hollywood. They were able to tell the inside stories of multi-million dollar deals and make them understandable. Jon Peters, a barely literate hairdresser who happened to be friends with Barbara Streisand, and his business partner Peter Guber ...

If your boy loves balls...
My son has a new obsession-balls. He loves his t-ball set. He nadders "ball, ball, ball, ball..." whenever he spies a baseball game or any other game involving a ball. So, I searched the bookstore for a book about balls that I liked, because I knew I would have to read it over and over again! This book has done the trick for us. It appeals to all ages. It has the animals and the sound effects ...

Da Capo Press, 2006

A Book for Everyone
I read this book to my partner this summer as we took three day trips from the Twin Cities to small towns in Minnesota - first to Buffalo and St. Cloud; second to Mankato; third to Rochester. It was a fitting book to read as we rode through Minnesota farm country - the setting of this story. Every time we saw sheep or llamas, we laughed and contemplated whether the farmers had experienced any ...

Alfred Publishing, 2001

Overall a decent product by Alfred's
I had just started learning piano at a late age, with no piano nor musical background whatsoever and the Alfred books make it learning almost effortless. This book is harder than the level 1 adult course book I'm at but I enjoy learning piece #1, Love Me Tender.
