Honest, real, and practical. This book is awesome for those who are working in the slums of any city in the world. This guy understands people and ministry. It is a MUST if you are teaching Jesus in the slums.

Cry of the Urban Poor is a wake-up call for the American church. Viv Grigg explains the nature of the slums of today's two-thirds world megacities, and issues a call for action. He describes the Western Church's participation in, and response to, Asian slums, and challenges evangelicals to learn about institutional oppression. This book is richly written, with mature and sharp passion backed by solid, global understanding both of the gospel, and economics. Read it!

I have to say that out of what I have seen in decoupage books and artists, Rubena Grigg has it over all. In my book, sophisticated wins out especially after one is continually confronted with the endless stream of cutesy, mediocrity in so many "crafts" today. This lady is an artisan!

Her pictures are quite good and her decoupaged tabletop along with the black ground floral tin pitchers are BREATHTAKING....no overkill here...they are my personal favorites.

The instructions, although not pictorial are adequate and the pictures will definitely inspire you to get started....I know I want to!

For incredible inspiration alone, this book is worth the purchase.

This is not a book on technique, but I wouldn't sell it for the world. Rubena is truly an artist, and just picking up her book, makes me want to do decoupage. I actually bought it to learn more about varnishing methods, and she does explain that well, but to me it's more a source of ideas.
Every project in her book, she explains in detail how she accomplished it.
If you buy it you won't be sorry if you like decoupage.

I would like very much to review this book. I was promised a delivery date of NLT 25 April 2002; now I have been alerted that the delivery date is postponed a month. Dr. Henry Purcell, April 23rd, 2002

Lacan's seminars are superior to his articles because he clearly is addressing an audience, and needs to make himself understood, but he has already anticipated all of his students questions, as if he could read their minds: "I know what you're thinking." The argument of the third seminar is easy to summarize: the psychotic, because foreclosed from the father, faces a hole in the imaginary that is filled by the symbolic (or is it the other way around?), hence the hallucinations and voices. The psychotic always imagines that somewhere the big Other resides, in this world, like the man who broke into the US capital because there was a time machine inside that was trying to control his mind. The psychotic is in fact unable to distinguish the small from the big other. Lacan is always thought to be a little mad himself, something of a fraud, "il gagne beaucoup d'argent," and even Heidegger gave up reading Ecrits because he couldn't make sense of it, and he does make something of a display of his learning (not so much in this seminar). That said, there is something to Lacan, and eventually he will get his due, and outside the narrow circle of his devotees.

The work of Jacques Lacan is infamous for the often obtuseness of its language and presentation. It is often said that the reader must work hard at Lacan to reach a glimmer of understanding. The work of Dr Russell Grigg as translator to this edition certainly gives the reader a head start. Dr Grigg address the work of Lacan from a new perspective of the 21st century, nolonger happy for the work to remain arcane and cloistered from the reading public, but he throws open the windows of further understanding for those willing to look and read closer the work of this French master. An excellent work.

Simple understanding of how we get the results we get in life and how we can change those results if we choose to do so. The simplicity of the language inclusion process and ease of understanding makes this book a joy to read. Should be a must read for anyone who works with people!

I have the audio tape of The Road to Optimism and Dr. Perry's Language Inclusion Process really works. It has changed my entire outlook and my company is flourishing because of it.

My dad got the book from a friend related to Mrs Griggs and gave it to me to read. I started to read it and I couldn't stop. I liked the story about the crows. I just thought it was really good. I'm 12 years old and my dad said it was on amazon.com and I wanted to check it out. I'm going to tell my friends where to get it.

Rocklady, The Building Of A Labyrinth, by Norah Griggs, a very profound and easy read. It will make you laugh and cry and will inspire you to follow your dreams. Norah, tells of her own struggle in the "labyrinth" of life. And of how much beauty there is to be seen in everything that happens along the path. She explains that with every bad turn there is a good turn, with every negative there is a positive, and that it must remain that way in order to keep balance in our lives. I anxiously await her next book.

The Tao of Being explores the relationship between the spirit of thinking and doing by way of the Tao. Written in creative response to Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching, and intentionally replicating its Chinese style and logic, this "think and do" workbook shows how the mind and body are integrated into one undifferentiated whole. The Tao of Being is essential reading for all students of New Age philosophy and the spiritual life.

This book taught me to stop searching for answers and just accept that 'I don't know'. It has initiated a whole new way of thinking for myself and those around me and I take it everywhere I go because I know I will always be at ease with myself having read it.

The battle of the general spells out the huge fight that existed within the allied camp during the war. Patton and Montgomery didn't like each other and the Bradley/Patton relationship wasn't much better. Dr. Blumenson does a excellent job of showing how close the allies came to ending the war 10 month earlier. It's a book to add to your collection.
