Gregg Jackson
JAJ Publishing, 2006
Exceptional tool when you just can't put your finger on it.
Exceptional! This book is in the top left hand drawer of my desk at all times. After reading it, I kept it around to use as a great reference guide. Nearly everything your misinformed, left leaning friends might throw at you regarding politics is covered i.e. economics, the war, presidential policies and behavior, seriously, just about anything you can think of. It's an invaluable asset if you ...

How Not to Write a Screenplay: 101 Common Mistakes Most Screenwriters Make 66 reviews
Denny Martin Flinn
Lone Eagle, 1999
Best for more intermediate level screenwriters
I found the book extremely helpful - but I would NOT recommend for beginning screenwriters.
I've written almost 3 screenplays, and had them critiqued in class. So, I would say that I am an beginner-intermediate level. This book is an excellent resource for those who are already familiar with good screenwriting rules and formats, and need to refine these points.
I saw many of my own ...

Ten Most Common Mistakes Made by Church Starts1 review
Jim Griffith, Bill Easum
Chalice Press, 2008
Valuable & Useful
This book is a MUST READ long before a church plant can be properly born. If these guys haven't done it, seen it, or coached it, it probably hasn't happened in church planting! The only problem with this book is when you read it AFTER you've made many of these mistakes - it takes a few antacids and a headache remedy or two after you recognize what went wrong. With straight forward truth-telling ...

Diane Phillips
Harvard Common Press, 2002
Excellent Cookbook
My husband received Ron Popeil's "Showtime" Compact Rotisserie for his birthday this past summer. We have always really like Rotisserie chicken, but I did not know much about cooking with a rotisserie. I saw this cookbook online and it received some good reviews and thought it would be worth it even if we got just a few good recipes out of it. Turns out everything has been wonderful. I have ...

Charles Reid's Watercolor Solutions: Learn To Solve The Most Common Painting Problems7 reviews
Charles Reid
North Light Books, 2008
Reid's best book yet?
The problem I usually have with Reid's books is that his style is SO distinctive that I feel I don't want to follow his advice. This is because I don't paint in a style at all like his. But unlike many watercolor books, where you pick the book based on the style of painting (realism, abstract, impressionist, expressionist) here, you can follow Charles Reid's advice and APPLY it to how YOU paint. ...

The 10 Most Common Objections to Christianity5 reviews
Alex Mcfarland
Regal Books, 2007
Reviewer Staehle apparently hasn't read the book.
C. M. Staehle gives poor justification for his premise that the book is about God creating the earth "approximately 6000 years ago." But, in fact, the book makes no such claim. Only ignorant souls will profit from his book review. Staehle apparently hasn't read the book.
Read the book objectively and come to your own conclusions regarding the evidence that Alex McFarland presents. He makes a ...

Don't let the title fool you, this book isn't just about fixing specific problems, in the process it teaches the proper methods from start to finish, whether it be hitting, throwing/catching, pitching or fielding. Other books, DVD's, videos etc., teach proper ...

The Most Common Chinese Radicals2 reviews
Zhang Pengpeng
Sinolingua, 2002
could draw anybody in
A great way to start your journey into Chinese writing. This book introduces basic chinese radicals, with an explanation or story of the origin of each and a few examples of characters that include the radical. The explanations are very poetic and interesting. It is also nice that you could whip it out while you eat breakfast and learn something even if you only have a few minutes a day.

The Four Most Common Haircuts That Anyone Can Master6 reviews

Simple, user-friendly techniques helped us save a lot of money!
I bought this book a couple years ago because we have four boys and my husband had always cut their hair. They were getting old enough that they wanted it to look a little more professional, so it was either spend a bunch at a barber or learn how to do it differently.
This book was a huge help. My husband was able to learn new ways of cutting so that the boys were happy with the results, and ...

The 38 Most Common Fiction Writing Mistakes33 reviews
Jack Bickham
Writers Digest Books, 1997
A laundry list of things every writer should know
Jack doesn't spend more than three pages on any one point, and he doesn't have to. He gives an example, explains the salient concepts including positive suggestions, and gets out. This book taught me more about writing than any other. I devoured it in two days and my stories reached a new plateau immediately afterwards. If I could give every aspiring writer one book, this would be it.
