If you are person who enjoys studying women in the bible, this is a must have for your library. I guarantee you will find a different perspective on some well-known biblical women. You also will learn a little more about yourself in the process!

"Women's Liberation - Jesus Style" is appropriately titled. The book addresses many of the issues facing us as a people today. The root and center of any community is the edification and respect of its women. History has shown this to be true.

My wife and I met Ms. Bibb this summer. It was wonderful to talk with her about the writing of "Women's Liberation, Jesus Style". My wife and I were honored to get an autographed copy of the book.

God bless you Stephanie Bibb! WLJS will indeed become a future onstage production.

What is so exciting about this new resource, is its potential use in church programming. The chapters have content that needs to be reflected upon and shared by women in groups.

I can visualize a women's retreat that focuses, for its theme on "Women's Liberation, Jesus-style". This book could be used as the resource for the retreat, with all who sign up for the retreat purchasing and reading it. Then, at the retreat, participants could select a chapter, based on their particular needs at the time, and attend the workshop that focuses on that particular chapter. Facilitators for the individual workshops could be selected from within the church congregation that sponsors the retreat. Perhaps a woman minister could be invited to be the plenary speaker (perhaps even one who has contributed to the book.

It can also be used as a text for a women's Bible study in a local church, or as a Church School elective.

I give it five stars!!!

There is hardly a more colorful person in the history of twentieth century media than Ted Turner. He is mad, visionary, obsessed, gutsy, bi-polar, swash-buckling, touching and very likeable. Ted's CCN inspired me to push ahead with my own small technology company. After touring the early CNN headquarters in Atlanta, I brought back colorful CNN souvenir caps for my staff; and we wore them for a time in our office whenever we brain-stormed. This is a great and detailed account of Ted's adult years from family billboard company executive to AOL Time Warner vice chairman.

You'll rout for this multi-billionaire after reading the book.

Ted Turner's life story would make a better movie than many of the old classics he bought the rights to broadcast on his stations. From allegedly giving a sales pitch in the nude (among other things), to wild speeches in hotel lobbies, winning an incredible number of sailing races, and even his own "Alistair Cooke" style film intros, this guy is full of antics.

I was impressed by the depth of research Mr. Bibb brought to this book. I wish their was a little more of Ted quoted in the book, but this is an excellent amount of info on the man's life.

This book is masterfully written. Ted Turner's life makes for a great story. The genius of this book lies in how well Porter Bibb researched and wrote this story. I can't imagine how a person could write a better biography. I wish Mr. Bibb would write a novel or, at least, more biographies.

I found this little pound cake cookbook by accident here on Amazon.com, and I am so happy I did. The author, Bibb Jordan explains what the meaning of pound cake is, it's origins, and how to make the "perfect" pound cake. I have a website for Home Baker's and I choose to include on my site a wonderful recipe from this book: Chocolate Truffle Pound Cake. This cake is amazing, like so many of the other ones in the book. I also make a recommendation on my site for home baker's to definitely purchase this book. I highly recommend it for the "Pound Cake Lover", and anyone who loves to bake wonderful pound cakes.

I would like to make one suggestion to the author, and that is to include how many servings the cakes make. Otherwise, the book, like the pound cakes are perfect.

This tiny little book is filled with more info on this country's most beloved cake than any other cookbook I've found. It has clear and concise recipes with a cake for every taste. If you love poundcake you have to get this book!

If you love pound cake and are looking for something different to do and eat this book is great! try the awesome marble pound cake recipe.

This book is very amazing for the alternative healing. So practise to learn and to do it. We can do as same as the author for anything, but be patient because this methode is just mental healing, no touch, no intervention, no drugs, just simple to do it. However, we must believe the power of GOD, vast and real. Common, let's do it, you will be a new human in the world.

Must be part of your "digital communication" library if you are an Engineer or a Scientist!.

We are expecting our second child in December so I checked this book out of my local La Leche League lending library for my 3-year-old son. He loves it! He asks me to read it to him all the time.

This wonderful book deals with the sometimes-negative emotions that children have when a new sibling is born and gives them a realistic look at newborns. It is very positive and gentle - I highly recommend it!

This book is packed with breathtaking photos of beautiful Japanese gardens. The history and philosophy behind the elements in many varied types of gardens is well explained so the reader can understand the significance as well as the beauty.

There are sections on the use of various materials including stone, sand, gravel, water and flora of many types. The meticulous design, planning and maintenance of these gardens down to the last stone or leaf is incredible.

Among all of the other elements, what most impressed me throughout was the lush greenery. Carefully shaped trees and hedges, and rich beds of moss combine with water and stone to make unique and special places.

Though not intended as a "how-to" book, the many examples here provide inspiration to incorporate features of Japanese design into other landscaping settings. These are wonderful places to nurture peace, serenity and contemplation.

While most monographs are unfortunately stuffed with photos of built work, Office dA has very little built work, this one is is pleasantly filled with many sketches and working drawings. There are two completed projects (as seen in Architecture) and many uncompleted projects. I heard Nader Tehrani speak at the Wexner Center and unfortunately the book cannot begin to describe the thoughtful manner of their designs. Otherwise, it is an excellent book that shows the process of their design. For a monograph this is an excellent book.

I've never understood architecture monographs that rely almost solely on text and photos. Design is about drawing, and without sketches, details, section and plans, the resulting building exists in a vacuum. For that reason, I really enjoyed this book. The use of working drawings gives you an understanding of the thought and technique that results in some very creative and beautiful designs. The photographs (and there are quite a few of them) do a great job of bringing out the subtle details of Office dA's work. Granted, it's not all architecture (there are furniture and sculpture pieces) and not much of it is built (8 out of 11 projects are in model form), but it's engaging and inspiring nonetheless. It was also nice (and, as a student, instructive) to see scale models of such a high quality, instead of the usual computer-generated renderings. It's a great book for anyone interested in current design, and a must-have for architecture students.

I must have missed something here. I enjoyed the first 1/3 of this book but started to have my doubts about where it was going...which turned out to be nowhere, unfortunately. Comparisions to other phenomenal southern reading (ie. To Kill A Mockingbird) are certainly generous. It did have some sweet parts and was certainly a walk through a simpler time. But I guess I missed the point...actually I couldn't find a point.

The author takes us into a world of days gone by. Set in the post-depression south, this rustic yarn involves romance; the love triange among Josh, the poor stuggling protagonist mechanic, Elizabeth, the refined visitor from Raliegh, N.C. and Lula Mae, a lovable black child who "sangs like a mockingbird", each day on the porch of her log cabin as the sun goes down.

And there is the matter of the ghost of Major Jack, a hated Yankee soilder who guards his treasure in the swamp near the "curve".

There are several sub-stories, making this novel diffiult to put down, but the most impressive aspect of this highly entertaining book are the wonderful characters. They are so real, so vivid, you will think that you actually know them. I also was happily surprised at the downright kneeslapping humor at times. I admit that I laughed out loud, and almost moved to tears at times.

I can highly recommend this book to anyone who likes to read about the rural south, or anyone who can still enjoy watchiing "Tha Andy Griffith Show". Don't look for some profound moral discovery about human nature, or some great social or political statement. That's not what this book is about. It is simply an invitation to spend a little time, vicariously, in a gentler time and place.

This story is about relationships among downhome believable characters. The setting is at an old general store located in rural north Alabama, in the 1940s.

Being a native of Alabama and being old enough to remember stories my parents told me about growing up poor during the depression, I think the book held a special place in my heart. If you are in the same age group, regardless of where you grew up, I think you will relate to much of the story. If you are not in this age group, the baby boomers, I still believe you will enjoy the story and perhaps learn a lot about the way things used to be. One thing I can say for sure- historically speaking, it was very accurate and must have entailed a lot of research by the arthor.

I especially liked the tenderness in the way the characters treated each other. It made me feel that the people in this story really loved and cared for each other, regardless of race, class, wealth, or station in life. Maybe I am a sentilmentalist, but the world projected in "The Curve" is a place I would like to live in.

I highly reccommend the work for anyone who wants to escape into a truly gentler time and place.

My friend at work loaned me book to read while I was on vacation. I just couldn't put it down. Being from Alabama, and being a fan of Anne George, it seemed so comfortable and like other books I have enjoyed. To be honest, I laughed out loud for much of the first half of the book. The second half of the book becomes more serious however, and we, as readers become more absorbed into the mystery. I really liked it, and I will probably read it again. I especially liked the way the story was so easy to understand, the characters were weird but beleivable, and it was just a fun read. I reccommend this book to anyone who enjoys a murder mystery with a healthy dash of humor.

I just got through reading this book and I was very pleased. If you like a good mystery with a dash of humor, this book is for you. It's a little hard to describe the writting style, because it is very unusual. There is a lot of slapstick humor, but some very subtle humor, and some very touching moments too. I particularly liked the variou offbeat characters. Aunt Flossie, the main character is crazy as a bedbug.
Basically the story goes like this: a family from Alabama drives down to Miami to retrieve a family member, Aunt Flossie, from a beachside mansion owned by an evil millionaire. The first part of the story tells about the hilarious adventures they encounter on the trip, and the second half gets the reader involved in the murder part. And I really liked the surprise ending. You will too, I think.
Even though I really enjoyed the story and laughed out loud a few time, and I highly reccomend the book, I can't in good faith give it five stars. Sometimes I got confused because of the aurthor's devilish way of using fast-forward, and flashback. Also there was a bit of foul language, but really as I think about it, not as bad as you hear on television. All and all, I liked it and recommend it.
