This book has several advantages and several disadvantages. It's very short and can be read in a matter of a few hours, which certainly gives it appeal to someone who is busy. It does a good job of examining biblical examples of witnessing and evangelism, mostly from the gospels and from acts, and drawing lessons from them. The guide for group discussion at the end of the book could also be quite valuable. However, the Eberyday Evangelist is not very in-depth and leaves the reader witshing there more was discussed. The only means for sharing the gospel it gives is the use of personal testimony, which certainly is a good way to do so, but not the only one.

I ordered this book thinking it would be filled with illustrations and photographs of the beautiful University of Notre Dame campus (and its trees, shrubs and vines). Because there were no reviews, I took a risk in ordering the book. Unfortunately, there were no pictures and I was very disappointed. So, for those of you who are looking for a picture book, don't buy this one. However, although I am not going to read it, this book does seem to have a lot of information on the types of plants around the campus. Such information includes history, economic uses, horticulture characteristics, and natural distribution, as well as branch and leaf features, flower and fruit characteristics, and botanical information that can be used to identify plants. This book should be read by those who are interested in the complexities of plant life. I hope I have been of some help because if there were a comment such as mine when I was searching for a book, I would have never ordered this one. But I was looking for something completely different. I do feel, on the flip side that this book has more information about plants than I have ever seen. Therefore, if you want to learn a lot about plantlife, buy this book!

My Aussie husband (before he was my husband) planned to return to Australia for a year to finish his degree. I had planned to go as well so I purchased this and other books to help me get an Australian work permit, etc. Six months before I was due to leave I sent away over 30 letters requesting LEGAL work in Australia. After I read the book I was confident I would be able to obtain a work permit; six months later I was confident I'd wasted my money. Unless you are Bill Gates or the like, overseas companies just don't want the hassle of hiring an American. You would probably be better off looking for cash-in-hand jobs once you get there.

The book has a lot of pertinent information and covers a lot of issues, from relocating (including pets) to finding work to finding housing. As it was written specifically for residents of the UK migrating to Australia or NZ, some of the information is not relevant to US-based readers, which was disappointing for me. Also, the edition I read in early 1998 had house prices from 1994, and the prices I've noted while doing some of my own research recently are much higher. All in all, however, quite detailed and descriptive of all the things one needs to think about if migrating "down under."

It's a story about a group of adventurers (main character Stefan Kumansky) escorting a princess to the Kislevite city of Erengrad where she is to be wed to a prince. The namesake of the novel (the Star of Erengrad) is this relic that plays an important role in the tale (a role I will not mention here so as not to give away important plot elements).

The first part of the novel (roughly, the first 100 pages or so) is pretty good. We are introduced to the characters, the adventure begins in haste, and things are off to a good start. Until the time arrives to introduce to the reader to the characters on the side of "Chaos". At this point, the novel shifts back and forth between good guys and bad guys, and the pace slows terribly, the characters on the chaos side aren't that interesting, and main character (Stefan Kumansky) literally drops off the radar screen. He becomes so unimportant in the development of the story that his sudden appearance near the end begs the question of where he's been the whole time. The ending itself, though a good ending for the novel, was a bit too sappy for my tastes.

So, it's a book of two parts: one good, one bad, but overall it's a bit unbalanced.

I was startled when this "book" arrived on my doorstep. It is 7 double-sided 8.5 X 11" pages filled with obvious, outdated, or downright condescending advice. I'm sure the author means well, but the price is 10 times too high. Can be read in 10 minutes. If you find a real gem in here, I'd be shocked.

It's Milk the Christians time again, folks. This book was written as a work of fiction in the 1880s and was exposed by Rev. Goodspeed (the fellow who first edited and compiled the modern English edition of the Pseudepigrapha) in the 1930s.

Read it for entertainment, the way you'd read Ben Hur.

This book was by far the most horrid attempt at historical academic work I've ever read. Not to mention the fact that the author is one of the coldest, most mean-hearted men alive, historical ignorance and remedial writing ability permeate this mind-numbing tome. Definitely not a good read!
