The above review is misplaced and was meant to be a review
for another publication of this author's entitled:
Peter Mills of Windsor, Connecticut.

Helen Ullmann is an experienced genealogist and author. Her research and resources are impeccable. Having several of this author's publications, I'm always assured of accuracy of information. This book is most interesting historical review of northern New England and the life and times of that era.

I first read this book in 1994, and have just read it a second time this week. As I read this book, I had the opportunity to look back at how I have been profoundly influenced by her wisdom, humor, humility and strength.

Reading it this second time around, I chose to do so with for 3 purposes: Develop my ability to attract an excellent board of directors; create wonderful sales literatures that attract people to my seminars. And find more quotes to use, as opening to my seminar presentations.

Wow! I found what I was looking for. And I am sure that when I read it again, in the very near future, I will grow in my life's journey.

Another interesting point that I discovered during this second read is that years ago, when I finished my military career, I had often asked corporate civilians what the difference is between leadership and management -- Sheila Murray-Bethel definitely answers this in this book.

Read this book to get more out of your life.

"Making a Difference" covers many essential areas of leadership such as finding a mission, thinking big, ethics and maturity, mastering change, sensitivity, risk taking and decision making, using power, communication, team building, courage, and committment. Although these topics are covered in many other leadership and personal development books, Bethel does a fantastic job of explaining and supporting them with excellent examples and also showing how to apply them effectively. I found the book very informative, inspiring, and straightforward. Anyone seeking advice on becoming a "true" leader should get this book. It's a good starter book. This book has recieved praise from people such as Zig Ziglar, Denis Waitley, Harvey Mackay, Ken Blanchard, etc.

I would also recommend reading "Leadership from the Inside Out" by Kevin Cashman and "The Book of Leadership Wisdom" and almost any book by Ken Blanchard (like Gung Ho)or John C. Maxwell.

Making a Difference is a leadership classic! Get it now!

I am not a book reader, probably to my discredit. But not only did I read this one, I read it twice. It is a truly fascinating account of how Woodstock came to be. After reading it, one will be more amazed than ever that the event happened at all, once one sees all that these two guys overcame or endured to bring it about. It is a captivating and entertaining book.

I was at the 1969 Woodstock Music and Art Fair. I was young.

This book is an amazing, and surprisingly humorous, inside look at the machinations I never saw. The sometimes bizarre efforts that made Woodstock possible.

Even if you don't agree with the Woodstock sentiment, you should buy this book as a reference to THE icon of 1960s America.

Tellis Bethel's writing is extremely captivating;I wanted to read it in one sitting. I always knew that America was special- now I know why. Not only do I have a better appreciation for the United States of America with regard to their historical and spiritual origin, but I was delighted to read how the small nation of The Bahamas was used as the Gateway to the new world. Who said good things didn't come in small packages! I am truly blown away. This is not just another religious book; this a book for everyone who has an interest in the Americas.

I look forward to reading more of Tellis Bethel's work and encourage others to get this book- it's a must have for every library.

This book is unquestionably the best book on sales communication written to date. (Trust me I own hundreds of books on the subject) Quite concise, I enjoyed the audiobook best. It is loaded with lists and steps. While it doesn't cover all the aspects of sales, it is brilliant in what it does cove - sales communication.

This is the most practical and concise guide to herbal remedies I've ever encountered. The remedies that I have tried have ALL been very successful!

It's a good introductory book, but for the HALF of the price of this book you can purchase a TWO wonderful volumes of Karl Kraus Photogrammetry (ISBN:3427786943 on Amazon.de)
with the abundance of very practical procedures.

Tsunesaburo Makiguchi is one of Japan's most significant yet perhaps least-recognized educators. His fame as the founder of Soka Gakkai has somewhat eclipsed his reputation as an educator. (Soka Gakkai International is now the largest Buddhist organization in the world with over 12 million members in 128 nations.)

Mr. Makiguchi had spent a lifetime developing his "value-creating" educational philosophy from his experience as teacher, principal, and teacher of teachers before he founded the Buddhist lay organization.

A man ahead of his time, Mr. Makiguchi made proposals over sixty years ago that are being made anew today. He was staunchly opposed to the rote memorization that was the backbone of Japanese pedagogy in his day (and largely remains so today), and he called for greater involvement by community members in the education of children.

The author, himself an educator, gives a clear and vivid picture of the magnitude and revolutionary quality of Mr. Makiguchi's theories. Until this book, Tsunesaburo Makiguchi has gone virtually unrecognized in the West because so little information on non-Western educators has been available in English. This work fills a need at a time when Mr. Makiguchi's impact on education and society is of increasing importance.

Craig Chapman's book struck a chord here. As one who is very much interested in Gettysburg, and the Overland Campaign of 1864, I am glad I found this jewel of a book. The author writes the story very well, and the research that he has done is exceptional in this tale of the boys from the Tarheel state.

This regiment is not as well known as the the 26th NC, but their trevails at Gettysburg was just as horrible. It also illustrates how they were used in the Overland Campaign...and the perils and suffering that they went through in 1864.

I heartily recommend the book, and can confidently say if you read it, it will be tough to put down.

"Filled with the kind of vibrant storytelling that fans of Janette Oke have come to expect.Her dialogue is lively and delightful to read aloud...so rich in detail that the sights,sounds,and smells pull the reader in."
