I have looked at and tried to use lots and lots of children's sermon books. Most of them are far too abstract for the children, and seem aimed more at adults than children. This book is probably the best children's sermon book I have found. Instead of asking children to make an analogical leap, as object lessons do, Baker's messages get the kids involved in doing something, something they understand and will remember. Highly recommended for the harried pastor, since these children's sermons don't require so much re-working to make them work at all.

This is a follow-up to the previous book, Let The Children Come. It provides even more sermons/activities for use with children of all ages, to permit them to feel by experience what the Biblical characters felt.

this is a good introductory book for western civilization. if u r new to the field of western civilization, then read this book before any more advanced or complicated books...

I used Spielvogel's _Western Civilization: A Brief History_ when teaching a Humanities I course. _A Brief History_ is a shorter, paperback adaptation of Spielvogel's longer _Western Civilization_. Of the Western Civ texts I've used before (including the longer version of Spielvogel, I thought _A Brief History_ was the most successful. Spielvogel did a good job of choosing the most important historical events and cultural developments to include in his shorter version, at least those most likely to be included in a Western Civ course. Important information is clear both from subheadings and from the text itself, and short samples of primary texts that give students a taste of the past are included. Students also seemed to enjoy reading the _Brief History_ more other Western Civ texts I've taught. Women's history is well-represented. Only caveat: Because the text is a shorter version, not much of Asian, African, or Indian history is included.

This book was interesting from the start. I couldn't put it down. I laughed and cried with the main character and was totally taken into the personal problems of the family and the cultural climate the story was written in. The main characters growth and struggles as a young boy touched my heart and opened my eyes to a totally different world of poverty, discrimination, and what it must have been like growing up in the South during the years before world war 2. I passed this book along to many friends who all are waiting with great anticipation for another book from this author.

I thought this was a fantastic book. The end of each chapter makes you want to read the next one. When the author writes another book, I'll be first in line to get an autographed copy.

I wrote this review originally in Learning A Living; A Guide to Planning Yor Career and Finding A Job for People with Learning Disabilities, Attention Deficit Disorder, and Dyslexia;

The title page reads: "A simple, straightforward job-search book for people who would rather be working than reading a book" It is 88 pages long and is packed with creative pointers. It begins by disucssing your attitude and ends by telling you how to handle a job offer. Included are sections on identifying your skills, researching the job, doing well on interviews, finding leads, and managing your time. One section covers disability issues.

This book is a comprehensive and easy to read manual for job seekers. It covers not only the standards of job search (resumes, cover letters, etc.), but also the more elusive points of a successful search: networking, interviewing, and using the telephone. It offers some creative ideas to set you apart from the crowd.

Equally important, it is designed to be a reference manual with easy to find sections and lots of tables and charts.

As a career coach, I have read hundreds of books on resumes and job search and can tell you that this is by far the bible of job search. It is truly a must-have for all job seekers.

Excellent guide with beautiful photos! Would make a wonderful gift for lovers of ecotravel. I've researched a number of ecotrips, and it covered almost every one I'd ever dreamed of taking, with the one exception of a trip to see the baby harp seals in Canada.

Superb guide. Complete with nice photos, tips, practical information (like the best season to go, what to bring, etc) and many addresses of tourism offices, eco-travel tourism agencies, etc. I can assure that the information of the places I have already visited is accurate, including some tips that I could have enjoyed if I had bought this book before. Don't miss it!

It's helpful to have at least a passing acquaintance with Jean Piaget's theories before reading this book, but it's not necessary. Kamii shows in so many many ways that the thought life of young children is different from our own. Not only should this be required reading for all Kindergarten through second grade teachers, but also for those politicians and political pundits whose back to basics (and did we ever really leave the basics?) approach to curriculum simply makes life miserable for these poor kids. (because what they think are the basics aren't really the true basics of thought)

One interesting aspect of the book is that it was in part co-written with a primary school teacher who tries out some of Kamii's ideas in her own classroom. She is initially skeptical that Kamii knows what she's talking about, but later realizes the truth of it when confronted with the evidence of her own senses.

After you read this book, you'll never see a kid do a problem like 5 + 1 or 16 + 7 with the same eyes again.

I am a Kindergarten teacher and would recommend this book to teachers and parents looking for a good resource to teach children number concepts. Kamii not only discusses number concepts and problem solving, she also gives lots of easy to make games to make learning these things fun. Wonderful book!

I found this book very useful for researchers in this field. it has rich information about cluster computing.

Four Zinas: A Story Of Mothers And Daughters On The Mormon Frontier is the story of a four-generation family of women who shared many things in common, foremost of which was the name Zina. Zina Baker Huntington converted to Mormonism in New York in 1835. Her daughter, Zina Huntington Young married Joseph Smith, and upon his death, married Brigham Young and served as the Mormon Church's general Relief Society President. Then her daughter, Zina Young Card assisted her husband, Charles Ora Card, in founding Cardston, Alberta, Canada. And in time, her daughter, Zina Card Brown married future Mormon church apostle Hugh B. Brown. Four Zinas is the fascinating story of how this extended family helped to shape their respected eras within the Mormon community. Zina Young and Zina Card worked tirelessly for woman's suffrage, encouraging women to study nursing and become involved in industry. All of the women promoted drama and literature, inspiring others through their speeches and expressions of spirituality (including the Mormon custom of "speaking in tongues". These were women who enabled Mormon women to feel good about themselves, and in the process, made their frontier worlds welcome places to establish families and enjoy life. Four Zinas is very highly recommended for women's studies, American frontier studies, and Mormon history studies reading lists.

This is an excellect book. Although there really aren't a 501 direct suggestions, it feels like there is an endless amount of helpful advise which a wife and mother can use to make her husband and children feel even more loved then they already are.

Every home should have a copy! This is a fantastic resource to have on hand regardless of the ages within your home. Some of the questions have been verbatim of some my own children have asked. The great treasure of the book is that each answer is biblically based. It has been a wonderful reinforcement for my children to have their own questions answered directly from the Bible. Thank you Mr. Veerman!
