This book is a very good outline of soteriology from the Reformed perspective. Anyone who wants to get a good dose of the doctrine of salvation from a traditional Reformed perspective should read this. Though it gets into technicalities and some Greek it is readable and organized. However, Hoekema's "Dutch Reformed" background lets some of his interpretations be influenced by that background. For example, his interpretation of Romans 7. For students wanting to understand what the Reformed camp teaches regarding salvation this book is for you.

Hoekema brings much light to a dark soul! If you are looking for a book about Christian salvation that is both readable and academically solid look no further. Hoekema writes clearly and with both a clear pastoral perspective and a sharp theological edge. You will walk away from this book with a solid understanding of the doctrines of salvation.

A must read for every Christian!

The Scarlet Thread is a really good book. Since I am a fan of mystery and romance books, this has the perfect mix for my taste. I will tell you five things I liked about this book. I really liked the plot of the story. It was really good. Angela, one of the main characters, was a major part in making this book good. The ending of the story really completes it; it doesn't just leave you hanging. I like the love story part of the book. It shows that two people who are truly in lovedon't forget each other even when separated. The second half of the story, the mystery, is well written and there are different twists to make you wonder, "What next?!" I had a hard time thinking of five things I didn't like about The Scarlet Thread, but I managed to come up with them. Clara, Steven's second wife whom he doesn't really love, is a real witch but a necessary part of the story. Steven cheated on Clara alot and I didn't really like that but she did deserve it in a way. Steven should've told his family about his first marriage to Angela. The final thing I didn't like was that Steven didn't tell angela he was a mafia memeber when they first met. Anybody who likes mystery and romance would like this book. If you like things that have to do with the mafia then you should read this book.

This is the first book I've read by Evelyn Anthony, and I am impressed! The storyline was captivating - I could hardly wait to see what would happen next. She is remarkable at creating characters with depth and dialogue that doesn't sound canned, but as it would in real life. Each scene she chose to portray (as she painted various scenes from different people's points of view) greatly advanced the storyline and/or the character development. A great read!

After taking a clinic with Anthony I went to the library and found this book.It was the same patterns we had used int he clinic.They worked wonderful for the young horse we had in the clinic and with my older and more experianced hunter.These methiods will work for any horse.

As a hunter shower, I think that this book realy helped my skills as a rider. It has clear, easy to understand exercizes that streghten you skills as you go along!

I love, love, love these books. "Search for Sam" was my favorite, but there were three others: Hunt for Hector, Find Freddie, and Look for Lisa. My sister and I used to look at them when we were little, and we adored them. We still do. Recently, we got an urge to look at them, and went through boxes of our kid books in the basement, but couldn't find them. We think we got rid of them, at a yard sale or something. Fortunately, we bought a copy of Find Freddie at a yard sale, but that's it. Anyway, these are really great books. If you have a copy, hang onto it for your children!

I wish this book and others like it in the series were not out of print. My 3 children spend hours looking at them and this is an activity that I participate in with them. These aren't just where's waldo type books. On any page you can look for 40+ things. I also liked the fact they were relatively inexpensive fun.

This was a terrific kid's book. It satisfies childrens reading needs. I suggest this to readers between the ages six and nine.

How did Emily know there was candy on the card? Read the book and find out. Anyway it was great. I want to be a detective, well, got to go solve a case about a present. BYE!!!!!!

Yes, Pelz is great, but Runyan's book is unmatched. He has an engineering approach that will appeal to analytical types. This guy averaged less than 2 when chipping so he holed it more often than he two putted. An he can explain the principles of what he is doing so you can take his approach without taking his grip for example.

A MUST for any serious teacher, student, or even casual sufferer of short-game hiccups. It is the best attempt at simplifiying an extrememly misunderstood but crucial portion of the game of golf. Since it is out of print, I guess I should make sure I get one before I write such a wonderful review and everyone wants one

i thought it was brilliant
its called enter Fredrick K bower in england
great mashed potato scene at the end
why is it still not in print?

Thi is a great and well written first book. My only doubt is why it is not still being printed

It was a good book,but not a real story. It had great pictures.

I think I am a busy mother - trying to balance careers with young children - but I had no idea how busy it is possible for a parent to be! We have all read the magazine articles, seen the items on television and pondered what life might be like for families with triplets or more, but this enjoyable and easy to read book reveals angles on their experience that would never have occurred to me. I liked the way that both parents' points of view are included and the chatty style which makes this book read more like a conversation with a friend over coffee. I seldom get time to read, and yet I read this in two nights as I couldn't put it down! Parents everywhere would enjoy this book and will applaud the common sense way in which these two special parents have dealt with their almost unique situation. While understanding how much they will want to guard their privacy, I do hope there will be another book letting us in on the new and different challenges they will face at later stages in their children's lives.

I decided to use this book as a companion reader in a course in American history this year. This series of essays, which consist primarily of topics in social history, are an excellent complement to our very traditional textbook, which stresses political and diplomatic history. The authors of the essays are top names in the field, and the student response to the essays has been fantastic. I highly recommend this book as a teaching aide!

The Social Fabric presents a detailed array of readings insocial history for any United States History course. The readingsspecifically encourage two main revelations: U.S. History has many more interesting stories than the textbooks reveal and the historian's craft is much more complex than many students admit. The anthology is entirely engaging with details about daily life and customs. This book makes great general reading and should be required for all U.S. History courses.

This book covers not just the concepts of reliability modeling but also how to do it in the practical real-world.

As with any book that shows the real-world approach, this one has sadly become dated, but the principles are the same. For instance, they recommend SMERFS ...what you really want is SMERFS^3, which does more only better. However, the models and math are equally applicable today as they were when the book was first written.

While you can read any of the raving reviews for the contents, I'd like to provide some special kudos for the Appendix. This is bar far one of the best introductions to practical statistics. It skips a lot of the how-we-got-the-formula and instead demonstrates what the formulas are doing and why using pictures and text.

There're list of formulas and conversions, a well-written glossary of terms, and my personal favorite: the glossary of notation.

See, a big part of the problem in reading texts that deal with mathematics is that you see some strange symbol in the page and your brain has no idea what it is. You have no name for that symbol, you don't know whether it's an operation, a function, or a value. This explains all that, making it easier to digest other books of similar kind.

The book is presented much like a college text book, so there are excercises (with explainatory answers in the back) so you can validate you're on the right track as you go.

This book is classified as a seminal work in that it was the first mainstream book to address software reliability. The author is considered to be one of the founders of the discipline. Although the body of knowledge has grown significantly since this book was first published it remains a valid text because unlike technology, the underlying math and modeling are nearly timeless. The book serves as an introduction to software reliability as a discipline, and gives a solid foundation of the basics. Be aware that this is a math-intensive text and requires both statistics and probability skills. You also need a background in software development to fully benefit from this book (although the author provides appendices to fill in knowledge and experience gaps if your background isn't strong or recent).

Software and hardware reliability concepts, common reliability models and how the concepts and models apply to systems engineering and project management are provided to set context. The next part of the book goes into the practical application of reliability models and techniques. This part of the book is complete and covers all of the key elements of software reliability from design, development and implementation perspectives.

This book is more suited to college-level courses on software reliability. The author's later work, "Software Reliability Engineered Testing", is better suited for real world application because it approaches reliability from process and methodology perspectives and is more focused on practice than theory. However, this is still useful as a primer for practicing professionals.
