Theology in the Context of World Christianity: How the Global Church Is Influencing the Way We Think about ... 1 review
Timothy C. Tennent
Zondervan, 2007
A Valuable Resource
I consider this to be one of the finest studies yet produced in the spate of new books on global and/or contextual theology. Tennent is characteristically careful, complete, and thought-provoking in his treatment of any subject, but these words are especially appropriate in describing his approach to this discipline and the various examples he gives. His presentation and analysis of an example ...

U&lc : Influencing Design & Typography6 reviews
Mark Batty Publisher, 2005
A MARVELOUS LOOK BACK!
As a graphic design student at Brigham Young University I was introduced to U&lc, "The International Journal of Typographics." I came to anticipate the arrival of each issue, packed not only with the latest type fonts from International Typeface Corporation, but with interesting articles about subjects ranging from the Chinese zodiac to wines and cheeses. U&lc was fun and featured examples of ...

Think Like Your Customer: A Winning Strategy to Maximize Sales by Understanding and Influencing How and Why ...22 reviews
Bill Stinnett
McGraw-Hill, 2004
Valuable tools to use right away
When I read books on persuasion, I'm looking for effective tools. One of the reasons I like this book is that it has valuable information I don't remember seeing elsewhere.
The chapter on what customers really want is worth far more than the price of the book. It identifies the factors that must exist for a customer to buy from us. And it teaches how to weave key questions about these factors ...

Introducing Neuro-Linguistic Programming: Psychological Skills for Understanding and Influencing People 20 reviews
Joseph O'Connor, John Seymour
Thorsons Publishers, 1993
The best NLP Introduction
I consider myself a dabbler in NLP and have read several books on the topic. Perhaps, "attempted to read" might be a more accurate depiction. I found the works by Bandler and Grinder and the Andreas's very difficult to get through. At the other end of the spectrum, there are other works on NLP or NLP-related techniques that are quite readable but seem geared towards those lacking all self-esteem. ...

Influencing With Integrity6 reviews
Genie Z. Laborde
Syntony Publishing, Incorporated, 1987
The classic work on using NLP in sales and negotiation
One of the best things about this book is that, as the title suggests, it effectively answers that old chestnut about NLP being manipulative. Genie has simplified the Meta Model down to five types of "Pointers" which you can anchor to your fingers so you can remember them easily! She also has useful exercises for developing sensory acuity. As a UK NLP trainer I can wholeheartedly recommend ...

Advanced Social Psychology3 reviews
Abraham Tesser
McGraw-Hill Humanities/Social Sciences/Languages, 1994
Top-notch, up-to-date, scholarly, yet entertaining
It is rare to come across a scholarly textbook of research that is relatively understandable to lay people and beginning researchers. Yet Tesser's _Advanced Social Psychology_ succeeds where others fail. It is unlike other disciplinary or subdisciplinary textbooks, written by a single author covering tons of ground. This book is an anthology of reviews describing cutting-edge research in ...

Public Speaking & Influencing Men In Business1 review
Dale Carnegie
bnpublishing.com, 2008
A Forgotten Classic!
I am leary (and weary) of self help, so it is a great compliment that Dale Carnegie remains one self help author whom I greatly admire and always enjoy reading. This book, a forgotten classic, is as relevant today as it was 50 years ago. Carnegie understood the importance of voice and diction and public speaking, and this book is as good as any introduction to these topics as you are likely to ...

I am currently an Assistant Professor at the University of Houston-Downtown teaching Communication Studies. I was recently assigned to teach argumentation and debate for the Fall of 2006. In the past I have used Freeley (now w/Steinberg) and Rieke and Sillars (now w/Peterson), but both of those books are in the $80 range. As most of our students work and tend to be the first in their ...

Only a Must-Have if you deal with people.....
I just bought a fresh copy of this book, which I first bought about twenty years ago, and have finally lent it out one too many times. It is still the very best book I've seen that applies NLP to the business environment specifically.
Along with excellent explanations of how people communicate effectively through all their senses, it also has simple but effective exercises that hardwire the ...
