I was truly involved with the reading of this novel from the very first page. It seemed so real and kept me turnig the pages faster and faster. I haven't read such an interesting story for quite some time. I do alot of reading (mostly romantic novels) and this book was a refreshing change of pace for me.

An old friend of Rex Hohl has discovered a way to go back in time, but he needs help from Rex to make it happen. As a result, Rex finds himself back in 1982 with a chance to change a few things -- even though he is warned not too. What Could Have Been is a wonderfully written novel exploring the opportunities and paradoxes of time travel. Ralph Towner has a true talent for spinning a fantastic scenario with a built in believability. What Could Of Been is highly recommended reading to anyone who has every wanted to go back into a yesteryear of their own!

With an increasingly hectic life, I decided to pull out my Crock Pots (every size you can buy!) and start using them again after many years. I had the old standby books by Mabel Hoffman, and enjoyed using them, but wanted something new, so I ordered this book along with several others.

HEARTLAND COOKERY has a very broad range of recipes, many of them very creative and unusual...some to the point that I wouldn't be drawn to them for standard cooking, much less for the slow cooker. The biggest drawback for me, though, is this: Most of the recipes in the book require what seems to me an enormous amount of prep--or at least, more than I want to put in--before you even get NEAR the Crock Pot.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the basic psychology of those who want to use the slow cooker is generally that they want to be able to get up in the morning, throw some stuff in the pot, and come home to a savory meal ready to be ladled out onto some rice or noodles. I don't think most of us want to spend 30-45 mins of prep to do that. 15-20 mins is kind of my max....

I don't dispute that these are fine recipes that you might be proud to place on your table. I just don't think they match up with the needs of the typical Crock Pot user...or at least, they don't match my own expectations.

I have owned this cookbook for a couple of years and use it all the time for everyday cooking and for when I have family and friends over. Some of the recipes take some time and special care to prepare, but I don't care because I love to cook and because the meals turn out so wonderful--full of great flavor and, when made with meats, very tender. If you love to cook and enjoy good, wholesome food, don't pass this one up!

Actually, I'll agree with one reviewer that some of the recipes are complex--but I have found that this little gem of a cookbook turns out some great Sunday dinners. My husband loves the Cincinnati chili and all of the brisket recipes. This book and its recipes have been well worth the price and well worth the work in my family. I received this book as a Christmas gift and, although I have dozens of cookbooks, I have used the recipes in this book several times in some months.

This is a creative cookbook with many casseroles I've never heard of (and some I'd never want to make :). Many are delicious, such as Deep Dish Chicken Potpie. There's wonderful color photographs. Most of the recipes are NOT lowfat, but all recipes do have nutrition facts printed.

I. Howard Marshall has labored to produce a wonderful commentary worthy of inclusion in any pastor and theologian's library. Following suit with the other members of the ICC family, Marshall goes about his exegetical task of taking the Greek and bringing forth meaning in a practical and academic manner. The healthy bibliography allows the student, pastor, and theologian equal access to the mountain of works applicable to a particular passage.

Though Marshall denies Pauline authorship, his arguments, as aforementioned by a fellow reviewer, are not convincing (though exhaustive of the issues confronting authorship.) A rather remarkable approach, Marshall places Titus at the front of the commentary in a bold step to bring to the face a usually neglected book. The commentary is better for this practice.

Having used Knight, Mounce, Quinn and Wacker, Debellious and Counzelmann, and several other competent commentaries in a exegesis course on the Pastoral Epistles, Marhsall's commentary was a steadfast primary resource in my studies. Though the pastor not educated in languages will not be able to follow this commentary easily, the educated clergy will find it invaluable in their pursuits of exegesis and exposition from the PE. Marshall has given us a staple for NT scholarship.

When I first got this long awaited addition to the ICC series, I was suprised to find that it is quite a bit easier to read than most others in this series. It is obvious that Dr. Marshall and the ICC editors intended it to be more user-friendly. I like the format and the size of the print. It is bound nicely, which is one of the reasons for the outrageous price. Dr. Marshall accompished this work in collaboration with Dr. Phillip Towner of Regent College. Towner has spent a good deal of his career in the Pastoral Epistles and I am looking forward to the release of his work on these letters in the NICNT series.

One of the negative aspects of this work (in my view), is Marshall's denial of Pauline authorship. I found his arguments unconvincing (especially after reading Knight and Mounce on Pauline authorship of the PE), and it seems to me that Marshall is too inclined to accept the consensus of liberal scholarship on this matter (e.g., Dibelius and Conzelmann).

Nevertheless, there is much gold to be mined in this work. Dr. Marshall is a brilliant man who is obviously "mighty in the scriptures." The introduction is excellent and the exegesis is thorough and lucid. If you can afford it, you should get it and use it along with Knight, Mounce and Fee.

Dr. Marshall tells us in his preface; "The chief aim has been the understanding of the flow of the argument and the exposition of the theology which it enshrines, so that the message of the letters emerges with all desirable clarity. At the same time I have commented in some detail on Greek syntax for the benefit of students who may appreciate all the help that they can get with the text. Organising the mass of material in what is now called a user-friendly manner has not been easy...."

Well, I am grateful for Dr. Marshall's successful effort. This is a work that abounds with careful thought and helpful insights. I must rank it along side of Knight and Mounce.

The pastorals have been often overlooked. Finally a superb technical commentary from an evangelical. Some will quibble with major and minor points (though clearly evangelical, he denies Pauline authorship for starters), there is so much that is illuminating in these pages. A real window into early christianity!

I actually bought this book thinking it would be helpful, but all the info is in the online documents!!! The book isn't even advanced. It shows you how to do simple things, nothing advanced. This book is useless now. Just read the online documents, and download the sample code.

When I first bought this book , I was excited because I thought it would help in making QuickTime on the Windows Side easier to program. The CD is completely worthless , it doesn't even contain all the needed headers for quicktime. Instead of working code samples and native projects to experiment with there are code snippets that are in text files, some of which have bugs that no C/C++ compiler would of let through. Also there is not a mapping in the chapter to tell you which text file goes with which chapter, and you spend a lot of time GREPing through the CD. The explanations are bad, for example the chapter on creating movies just outlines the code. I would suggest you try getting the MacTech series of Quicktime articles where there is an actual explanation and WORKING sample code.

This book isn't bad (I guess). It is great for someone wishing to learn about QuickTime (the basics) in a short amount of time. I do feel the book lacks depth in some areas. After looking through the online documentation, I threw this book to the side, and have not used it since.
