Books to read if you're planning a vacation in "Daniels", sorted by average review score:
Grasping God's Word
Published in Hardcover by Zondervan (01 August, 2001)
Average review score: 
A great introductory workThis book is a giant leap forward in beginning exegesis. It opens a world of possibilities for the beginning student as well as serving as a great review for experienced interpreters. The book is delightfully written, and prayerfully organized. I can't imagine a better book to begin the interpretive journey. While written with college students in mind, anyone who is serious about grasping God's word will find it very helpful!
Finally! An intermediate level hermeneutics book.For a long time the only books available for those interested in Bible study methodology have fallen into two general categories. There were those written more at the popular level (ie. Kay Arthur's Inductive method, Tim LaHaye's How to Study the Bible, etc...); or those that were more technical (Osborne's Hermeneutical Spiral, Vanhoozer's Is There a Meaning in this Text, etc...). However, there has been no real attempt to weave these two types together; an easily readable text that doesn't betray the Spiritual aspect of Bible Study, while at the same time teaching the standard methods of interpretation. Fee and Stuart took a huge step that way with How to Read the Bible for All it's Worth; I submit that their intentions were perfected by Duvall and Hays in this book. Here is a book that can teach college students, seminarians, and even laypeople the correct methods of hermeneutics for every genre in the Bible. At the same time, it remains light and sometimes even funny. I can't imagine there being a more perfect book for those that are interested in truly Grasping God's Word.

Gurps Grimoire: Tech Magic, Gate Magic, and Hundreds of Spells for All Colleges
Published in Paperback by Steve Jackson Games (March, 1998)
Average review score:
A must for any serious user of GURPS Magic.Let me make one thing perfectly clear: This book is a companion volume to GURPS Magic. In order to fully appreciate (and make the best use of) this book, you need GURPS Magic as well. Now that that is out of the way, on to the praises. This is where you will find the odder and more esoteric spells (as well as some of the more powerful ones) that Magic just didn't have room for, or that handn't been thought of yet. Some of these spells are exceptionally powerful, others are just plain sneaky, but all are useful. As I said before, the odder corners and more advanced levels of magic are more fully represented in this book, along with optional rules. Here you will find things like techno-magic, radiation spells, acid spells, spells to literally rain fire down upon your foes, a spells to create an imprisoning circle around your foes, spells to fascinate and control your enemy, and even a spell to plunge them into a morass of incapacitating pleasure. That little list only scratches the surface, my friends. Almost every school of magic in the GURPS system has additions in this book, and all of them are worth looking at. If you want to be the best magic-user that you can be, this book will help you on your way.
The author is not wrong - it's a good book.Used with GURPS Magic and the GURPS Basic Set it provides a complete, varied and well integrated set of spells for roleplaying. Without being tied to specific genres it still manages to offer a wide range of dramatic possibilies from which many a plot could be spawned.
Hack Writer: Poems, Stories, Plays
Published in Paperback by 1stBooks Library (May, 2001)
Average review score:
Truth, Life and PoetrySklar's book epitomizes what it is like to be a poet. More specifically, someone who knows that life is all you need to write. As a writer i find it refreshing to see someone put out a book without worrying about form or opinion. Sklar should be read by anyone who is just beginning to write or anyone who has forgotten why they write. He writes because he has a voice. It may be a whisper in the literary world but if you are willing to get close enough you will be able to hear the pages speak truth, life and poetry! This is a must have for anyone who can recite the alphabet.
Hack Writer is StraightforwardIn Hack Writer, Dan Sklar's writing is the plain speaking language of Walt Whitman. It is what Henry David Thoreau would call the poetry of "healthy speech." The themes are strictly middle-class and as direct as a big old green Buick. The poems are personal because everything is personal. The stories are the sensitive stuff of American Literature in the tradition of William Saroyan. The plays are absurd--Pinteresque in the style of George S Kaufman and the Marx Brothers. Hack Writer is a bright house filled with music. It is the fact that our happiness will be dreams.
Handbook of Differential Equations
Published in Hardcover by Academic Press (15 January, 1998)
Average review score:
Zwillinger's Handbook of Differential EquationsThis and its predecessor of the late 1980s are the best compendiums of differential equation solution and approximation methods that I have ever seen in terms of (a) comparison of different methods, (b) number of methods compared, (c) description of details of each method, (d) organization such as alphabetizing under each category and categorization of methods, (e) description of and comparison of where each method can be applied in the physical and other sciences, both deterministic and statistical/probabilistic ("stochastic"). This accomplishment cannot be overemphasized from the point of view of Creative Genius - in my opinion, comparing and contrasting and organizing and summarizing data and information are fundamental requirements for creative genius. The book may be intended as a reference book, but it should really be used also as a textbook provided that the teacher overviews the areas and gives some supplementary background and latest results. Both the student and reference user can easily be overwhelmed by the sheer number of methods, and I would recommend putting short descriptions of each (1-2 lines on front and 1-2 lines on back) on flash cards to keep them and their relationships fresh in your mind (shuffle the cards, learn them backwards and forwards, learn them alphabetically, in separate categories, then non-alphabetically and in mixed up categories, etc.). I would recommend that future editions list some of the unsolved equations and open research questions in the field.
Indispensable.For anyone that finds differential equations beautiful; for the theoretical scientist in whatever field; this is nearly as indispensable as Abromowitz and Stegun (The Big Ugly Blue Book).
Healing Emotions: Conversations With the Dalai Lama on Mindfulness, Emotions, and Health
Published in Paperback by Shambhala Publications (14 January, 2003)
Average review score:
Very Highly RecommendedIn the summer of 1991 specialists in the fields of psychology, medicine, neuroscience, philosophy, immunology, meditation, and Buddhism gathered with the Dalai Lama to conduct the Third Mind Life Conference. The purpose of the Mind Life Conferences is to discuss bridges and interface with what can broadly be called the sciences of mind and life -biology, cognitive science, neuroscience, and psychology, as well as philosophy of mind. This third conference's purpose was to increase mutual understanding and facilitate the emergence of new insight to the relationship between health and emotional experience. This book, Healing Emotions, is the record of this meeting.
Daniel Goleman, scientific coordinator of the conference, cleanly edits and presents the content of the conference. He introduces each presentation with his summary of the content. Goleman then gives the actual presentation made by each of the speakers, and continues with the discussions that followed. The discussions cover ethics, virtues, emotions' impact on health, stress, behavioral medicine, self-esteem, medicine and compassion. In the presentations the speakers share their theories, tests, results, and case histories.
It's lively, interesting, noteworthy discussions: a documentation of a rare and unusual exchange.
Transpersonal Psychology the Eastern WayDan Goleman has done it again. A highly readable book rooted in scientific research - just like his two books on Emotional Intelligence. Compared to other edited Mind and Life Conference books, this one describes the conversation in an extremely lively manner with explanations on Buddhist and scientific concepts presented as footnotes, and as a result making comprehension possible even with some abstract concepts unfamiliar to novice like me.
The enthusiasm shown by Dr. Goleman in the ability of mind over body can be found throughout the book (especially in the chapter presented by him where H.H. the Dalai Lama commented "You've just given me a lot of ammunition). This is probably due to his own knowledge and keen interest in the Eastern psychology and meditation.
Heaven: What the Bible Reveals About...Answers to Your Questions
Published in Paperback by Regal Books (August, 1999)
Average review score:
Heaven is real.Wow, finally a factual book about heaven,told in a Novel form. I liked that I could go along with the story line, enjoying it, while learning truths about the "heaven" I learned about in childrens Sunday school. Only as an adult I hadn't been able to add much more to my understanding of it. Believe me there is much more to it than you & I learned in Sunday School. I can grab hold of and hang on to these truths. It would be a great gift-- i gave 6 copies for Christmas.
Heavens not so cloudy after all!It seems that the modern idea of heaven is a bunch of wispy clouds and bored angels sitting around strumming their harps. Who would want to spend the rest of eternity in such a humdrum state of existence? In "What the Bible Reveals About Heaven", Daniel A. Brown truly adds the color and vitality to our eternal home that our conceptions of heaven are lacking. He guides us through the context of scripture to show us how the Bible has painted for us a glimpse of a heaven that is beyond what anything in this world can describe. Daniel also brings us back to the whole point for why God created a heaven in the first place... His unfailing love for us. "What the Bible Reveals About Heaven" will help you to see more of the heart of a God who knows just what your heart desires and just how to fulfill it! Daniel A. Brown's book is very fun to read and very easy to understand. He has a way of cutting to the meat of the scripture and how it pertains to heaven with out a bunch of spritual jargon or mythical statements. People who are not even familiar with the scriptures will still finish "What the Bible Reveals About Heaven" with a greater understanding of Heaven and of the God who created it.
Hedge Away: The Other Side of Emily Dickinson's Amherst: The Other Side of Emily Dickinson's Amherst
Published in Paperback by Daily Hampshire Gazette (May, 1997)
Average review score:
Hedge Away brings Amherst alive like never beforeThe town that Emily Dickinson resided in has never been depicted more vividly. Lombardo leads the reader into Amherst by the hand and paints pictures that I certainly will never forget
Real Life in 19th Century New England"A Hedge Away" brings alive the people and institutions of one small, but vibrant New England community in a way that challenges our preconceptions about what Victorian American small towns were like.
Refreshingly free of heavy-handed political interpretation, Lombardo's text gives us enough detail to draw our own conclusions.
Though I live only a few miles away from the small town that is the subject of this book, until I read it, I had no idea of the richness of the characters who populated its streets a hundred years ago, or of the many tragedies and scandals they endured.
This book is a "must read" for anyone interested in 19th century New England!
Herbal Tonic Therapies
Published in Paperback by McGraw-Hill/Contemporary Books (August, 1993)
Average review score:
Refreshingly honest, scientifically grounded reviewThis book provided an "ah-hah" for me in theorizing mechanisms for tonic effects and in describing research on the paradoxical ability of certain herbs to achieve different reactions depending on the patient's needs. Faithfully recounts the studies (even details on study design to help one evaluate results) done, mostly in Europe, on the herbs reviewed. Very useful. Linda Larkey, Ph.D. (no, my degree is not in a medical field, but I've been reading about and using herbs for 20 years).
A must for any personal Herbal Libirary!Herbal Tonic Therapies by Daniel B. Mowrey, Ph.D. is a comprehensive guide to the use of whole herbs which includes folk use, clinical studies, chemical composition, safety data and references for each herb listed. The author cites European clinical studies as most of the sources.
The purpose of this book is to provide the reader with information on tonic herbs and how they are used. This is written for the lay person as well as the practitioner.
I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in herbs, whether they were using the book for self-help, or studying Herbalism.
