I couldnt put this book down! It shows us how much God (Jesus) loves us! How He came to earth to "walk in our shoe's" and that He isnt some diety that we cant have for a friend and Savior! This devotional book is one that I recommend to everyone weather they are saved or not! It tells of how He yearns for a relationship with us and how He wants so much for us to just accept His gifts of love and salvation! It's as if God (Jesus) Himself is talking to you personally, its amazing how you get caught up in it and begin to feel as if God is talking to you personally as you read it. If your already a Christian this book will draw you closer to God...give you a more clear understanding of Him and His love! If your not a Christian, you will have a new understanding of what God is like and how much He loves you, how He is reaching out to you and waiting patiently for you to just give Him a chance to come into your life and show you His Love, Grace, Mercy, understanding, and most of all His deep desire to have you come into His Kingdom! This is a must read!

I have recently completed Experiencing God by Blackaby and Breaking Free by Beth Moore. What is the Father is Like? goes along with those ideas perfectly. I have not been able to put this book down. It is wonderful to discover how much the Father loves us and desires to know us.

Mr. Keller has a style of writing that brings him into the chair right across from you. He takes this style and talks with you about our God. He brings spiritual insights to you from ordinary parts of our lives. You will come away from reading this book feeling refreshed and have your desire for God deepened. I would heartily recommend this book to anyone.

I can recommend this book to anyone who wants a meaningful relationship with God. Phillip has a very refreshing approach to seeking God, and maintaining an ongoing relationship. If you want to serve God in the way that He wants, not what you want, read this book. You will not be disappointed. Phil Gale

want to go out and get in a fender-bender myself. We've all seen the famous Driver's Ed movies about the deadly physical and emotional consequences of auto accidents, but rarely has there been such in-depth treatment of the risk management and allocation consequences. I've read many books on insurance (and even reinsurance), but with the exception of Ostrager and Vyskocil's work, none have kept me turning the pages like Phillips and Chippendale. Look for more brilliance from this duo; the Simon and Garfunkel of the no-fault insurance literary community.

While I have long followed the work of Jerry J. Phillips, it is more than obvious to the intelligentsia that Stephen Chippendale is the powerhouse in this dynamic duo. Chippendale takes the reader on a tour de force fandango adventure in the no-fault world, it really is quite first rate. He might be a younger attorney, but that is not about to intimidate that bad boy

This is one of the best books I have read in a long time. It is a must read for all, especially people of Caribbean extract.

I want to thank the Phillips brothers for putting into words a part of our history that I never knew.
I can relate to most of this, as I have three brothers who were a few years short of being a part of this important period.

I now know how we as a people were treated and is being treated. The struggles that they went through was almost lost, if it was not for this exceptional piece of literature, I would not have learned about this period.

Thanks to the writers and the publisher, I am now able to investigate and get more information on events prior to and after the "Windrush"

I am recommending this book to all my friends.

This book can be unreservedly recommended-- not only for butterfly lovers and aficionados but the general lover of nature. To its great credit, it does many things at the same time, and does them all well. While it can introduce the general nature lover to the wonders of butterflies, it can also take seasoned butterfly enthusiasts even deeper into their favorite subject. Neither party will feel left out. The book is a judicious combination of informed text and beautiful, pertinent, photographs and graphic illustrations. One role this book fills is a gap which has "gaped" for many decades-- one between the simple love of Lepidoptera and the science of Lepidoptera. Many lepidopterists who see this book are going to wish THEY had it when they were young. This is because the book builds so many easy bridges between the simple love of butterflies and the wondrous complexity of their science. It hits the whole spectrum-- from life cycle, body and structure, classification, distribution, and general biology to more complex topics-- like mimicry and genetics. And, in each case, there are diagrams and/or photographs making even the most complex topics readily understandable. I bought a copy and gave it to a young friend who, at 10, is just beginning to take his love of butterflies to a higher level of serious learning. However, the book will work just as well for adults; if a professional wanted a quick refresher on many topics in lepidoptery he could find them here as well. The other major topic that A World For Butterflies bites off with gusto is conservation. The topic is treated not just with sweeping worldwide generalities but with compelling and intricate case studies highlighting the complexities that lie beneath the problem of species endangerment worldwide. This book deserves to do very well.

The author's goal was to bridge the gap between researcher and teacher. I think he accomplished this admirably through the pictures. Almost every page has a beautiful photograph. The book is comprehensive and authoritative, covering conservation, classification, life cycle, and geographic distribution. "Six case studies illustrate some of the major problems faced by butterflies, and some of the real and potential solutions that have been (or can be) used to moderate their decline or endangerment". Includes bibliographic references and index. This book should appeal to young fans of the Very Hungry Butterfly as well as older students studying and classifying butterflies.

Afraid that the backlash against an exaggerated hero worship of an often idealized Columbus will lead to a new and equally false myth of Columbus as simple villain, the authors systematically reconstruct the intelllectual atmosphere of 15th century Europeans. The widespread obsessions with religion, trade, Spanish empire building, and bureaucratic organizations are meticulously documented.

The Worlds of Christopher Columbus stands out as a balanced, fair, and well-researched work examining the life and legacy of Columbus within the context of his times, European exploration, Christian theology, and the search for quicker/safer trade routes. The book combines a wide variety of sources and perspectives as it chronicles Columbus' four voyages, and many more controversies, to the New World.

The authors, both historians at University of Minnesota, essentially argue that Columbus reflected the basic assumptions of his era like "a prism" combining ambition, zealous Christianity, and excellent navigation skills. The right man at the right place and time, Columbus sought recognition for opening Asia to trade and the expansion of Christianity. Ironically, Coulumbus always passionately condemned the idea that his "his world" was a "new continent." This valuable work brings new insights to the gradual evolution in Columbus goals, from Asian trading and building African style trading posts to island colonization. Columbus' decision to make slavery an economic cornerstone of Spain's new territories recevies special attention. (Queen Isabella, of Spanish Inquistion fame, opposed the enslavement of native tribespeople for religious reasons.)

William and Carla Rhan Phillips have done a marvelous job of helping the reader understand the workings of the world of the 15th century. They have divided their book into three major sections; the first sets the stage for the reader by describing the events which made the voyages of discovery possible. The second section recounts the details of the actual voyages of Christopher Columbus, and the third section discusses the aftermath of his discoveries. The Phillips' cover a wide range of subjects, from the "Columbus legends" taught to us as children to the detailed evolution of ship building and navigational tools. Also discussed are the politics of the time, the religious beliefs, common knowledge of the period and more. (It is surprising how many of us were taught that Columbus was the only man of the period who believed the earth was round.) Columbus was not an accomplished scholar or a misunderstood genius for he held wildly inaccurate views of the world, his belief that he had discovered Asia never faltered. In this book you will get a feel for the evolution of maritime technology; how Columbus sought and gained financial support for his explorations on behalf of Spain; details of the actual outfitting and explorations of the four voyages made by Columbus. You will learn why the Phillips' described Columbus as a "masterful salesman" who exaggerated his discoveries. There are many books about Columbus, each written from different angles and differing bias, but I felt this book was well researched, well documented, and fair minded. So saying, I came away feeling that Columbus was a daring mariner, that he was an inept administrator who openly disobeyed royal instructions and that he brought many of his troubles upon himself. Yet by putting him into the context of his time they have softened the harsh edges of his character flaws. I would definitely recommend this work to anyone who wishes to get a well documented account of the worlds of Christopher Columbus.

This is a quietly written space exploration novel told from the perspective of an explorer whose ship came home. I was afraid that I wouldn't enjoy this after-the-fact story. But Mann makes this surprising approach work, for he's more interested in the spiritual change that such journeys are bound to cause. As such, I found myself drawn into the mysteries of motivation and action shown by Mann's antihero. Wulfsyarn is a staggering work of oddball psychology and spirit.

Phillip Mann ha described a future society that not only may be possible, but also begs the human mind for it's incarnation. In a rich melding of ecology, technology, psychology, sweat, and factors I am sure elude me; Wulfsyarn, although a tragedy, draws the human spirit to the nature of life and liveliness. Taste for yourself of a religious order that somehow avoids dogma and stodge, backbones Wulf, and offers his yarn as its paradigm tale.

This book consists of, as the back of the book says, "tricky teasers, verbal vagaries, and mathematical mind manglers." There are also many funny brain vacation jokes. As you can tell from the title, this book has 263 challenging riddles or questions that really make you to think. For ex, one of the questions is: Why didn't Beethoven finish the Unfinished Symphony? The answer is: The Unfinished Symphony was started by Schubert, not Beethoven!! Some of the puns are corny but it's still very enjoyable. It's a good book to read when you want to take a break from work and just laugh. Personally, I liked it a lot and I still take it out sometimes to re-read some of the riddles. I highly recommend it
