Dry, Up, with a Twist 79 reviews
John Galloway
Gardenia Press, 2002
Blatant Revelation Garnished with Sardonic Wit
John Galloway excels in the area of sardonic wit. His writing is stunningly succinct and his snappy writing style infuses this book with an impressive energy. His astute observations are deliciously poetic and he seems to have a photographic memory. His descriptions either infuse your mind with vivid pictures of complete chaos or shock you with laughter. He claims slavery still exists in America ...

Evangelist Linda J. Waiters

Simply Powerful - A Must Read
This book is a powerful ministry tool that has really motivated me to deal with areas in my life that my Daddy is ready to promote me into and from. It is an anointed "mirrored" guide that allows you to relate to the thorns that we have faced in our spiritual walk that we are sometimes too ashamed to reveal.

Gives a 7 week practice plan where the children learn different skills appropriate to their age level.

Double Shift (Hergenrader, Christina, Novel Devotions)3 reviews
Christina Hergenrader
Concordia Publishing House, 2004
Double Shift Review
Double Shift is a wonderful story about Katy, a teenager faced with the same problems many teens face today. Ms. Hergenrader does an excellent job of portraying a sympathetic heroine, who wants to follow God's will, but who must first learn to be humble. The devotionals at the end of each chapter are thought provoking, and I think this book would make an excellent teaching tool for preteens and ...

The Waiter4 reviews
Barry Barnett Keith
1st Books Library, 2000
Enjoyed the food and the service
What I was left with most after reading this book was the sense that the author truly knew his character. What I thought would be a very predictable storyline actually served up a gormet meal for the mind. Don't underestimate the charms and depth of the seemingly simple characters around you. It's worth the time to get to know this one and tip him well.

Tony Waiters
World of Soccer Inc, 1999
COACHING SOCCER MADE EASLIER
THIS BOOK HELPS THE BEGINNING COACH AS WELL AS THE EXPERIENCED ONES. THE BOOK COVERS A BIT MORE THAN THE BEGINNING NOVICE COACH MAY NEED BUT ALLOWS THE COACH ENOUGH MATERIAL TO USE AS LITTLE OR AS MUCH OF THE TRAINING MATERIAL AS HE SEES FIT. PICTURES ARE EXCELLENT AND GO WELL WITH THE MATERIAL. I AM PLEASANTLY SURPRISED I FOUND THIS GOLD NUGGET OF INFORMATION IN SOCCER INSTRUCTION.

Waiters
Raincoast Book Dist Ltd, 1991
Everything you'll need to coach or play the goalkeeping pos
As a field player who never played goalkeepr I was intimidated a the prospect of coaching this position. This book provided all the information I needed. The information was easy to understand, precise and invaluable and has helped me develop my goalkeepers to their maximum potential. I think it's the only goalkeeper coaching book I'll ever need to use. There is also a companion set of video ...

The Adventures of Waiterman, Lord of the Restaurant Jungle1 review
Trafford Publishing, 2006
Honest to God, laugh out loud funny
I am an avid reader of many genres, and when it comes to humor or satire I will occasionally find myself grinning at the text, but French's efforts had me laughing out loud a number of times. A great satirical overview of the restaurant industry, combined with the bite of an expose amid the unfolding of an autobiography. Perhaps too "colorful" for prudes, it is satire at its finest. At least ...

Guy Buffet Journal
We love this Guy Buffet Journal. I bought one for myself, and one for my mother-in-law to use as a food and wine journal. We both soak labels off of wine that we love and paste it with a discription in the journal. Looks great in the kitchen also!

Harold Pinter
Grove Press, 1961
The Caretaker and The Dumb Waiter, 2 wonderful reads!
Both of these works are wonderful in the sense of making the reader think. Not only are you thrust head first into the plays, but your perception is what makes the endings. Pinter's stlye, form and intellect deliver in both of the works and are challenging without being difficult. Both works have character that people can relate to, wonderful dialogue, and mental involovement. I highly ...
