I went to the Wicklander seminar recently. The book was just as great as the class, I'm very fortunate to have been able to go and receive the book. Thanks!

This is an excellent referecne book for anyone involved in both private and public sector interviews.

This was a very informative book. I highly recommend this book for anyone dealing with interviews and interrogations.

As a longtime Alaskan, I feel fortunate to have had both Doug and Jill in many courses. The book Snow sense is now the required reading material for all Nat'l Ski Patrol avalanche courses, and rightly so. I read it at the begining of every season. True avalanche professionals. If you ever have the chance, come to Alaska and take one of their courses.

Used by avalanche professionals as a base for avalanche education classes. Small size but HUGE on concise information for learning to recognize, evaluate, and avoid potential avalanche hazards.

"Avalanches are not acts of God. This valuable book details how to read terrain, snowpack, and weather variables to determine the possiblities of avalanche and how to save yourself in case of one.

Finally! A simple, informative perspective on the complex office dynamics that so many of us face. The scenarios are well laid out and the examples easy to relate to. While other discussions of office dynamics tend to over-analyze situations, this book provided me with a straightforward roadmap to recognize and deal with daily personnel issues.

In an easy-reading format the authors have pointed out many office situations that relate to family situations. They give practical and useful suggestions for handling these problems. Worthwhile reading for anyone who works in an office setting.

This book is a must for anyone who has to manage people in an office, organization, and even on a committee. It is easy and interesting reading and a MUST to understand why the people you manage behave as they do.

Derek Fontaine was wounded in soul and emotions. Why had his father deserted him? Or was his mother not honest with anyone.

Amber Laughton proves that the more you keep secrets the more embroiled your life becomes. But hey, what a great character she turned out to be.

Gideon has a story behind him and he turns out to be a great friend to Derek even though they had just met 300 miles before the story starts.

Even with the vagueness of the scene where Derek gets shot, I am surprised he stayed in the saddle long enough to make it home let alone up to his bedroom. Wonderful care-giving action and emotions with Derek's healing.

Beau does need a lady friend to heal his heart and soul. Was really glad to hear that Nathan showed up. Loved the shoot-out with the KKK.

Great story - GREATLY RECOMMENDED --M -- good addition to your library.

This debut novel by Ms. Douglas is fast-paced and filled with fascinating and sympathetic characters. It is a story of healing and trust and the growing love between a man and woman who have both been hurt badly. Derek is a wonderfully sexy hero whose fairness and principles shine through the story. Amber is compelling as she deals with her ruined reputation and insists on being seen for who she is. Even the secondary characters add depth and dimension to a classic story.

I'm not sure if a sequel is planned, but I heartily hope the powers that be will let Ms. Douglas write a book for Gideon, Nathan and Beau. These guys are as HOT as Derek!

I usually read more contemporaries than historicals, but this one really pulled me in. The peach pie scene was my favorite--what a wow for a love scene--but really loved the author's voice and style throughout. The characters seemed so real, yet the book also felt like I was jumping into that post-Civil War time; the author made you smell and feel and touch a different era and feel part of it. Bravo for a super read. Can't wait for this author's next book.

This folk story is retold with all the spice of a Cajun jambalaya. San Souci, interweaving several variants of the funny tale, places his characters in the bayou country of Louisiana, where they set out to catch fish for their gumbo. Their comical misadventures reach a climax when the mathematically challenged fisherman decide to count each other "to be sure we all safe." Whoever does the counting always comes up with five, forgetting to count himself, leading the men to conclude that one of them must be dead. Kennedy's cartoon-style illustrations, created with acrylic on velum, are a perfect accompaniment to the story. A short, helpful glossary, as well as an author's note directing readers to more information on Cajun culture, can be found at the end. Suited for ages 5 and up, this book would make a fun read-aloud. A word of caution, however: It's peppered with Cajun dialect, so be sure to practice first!

One day six brothers decide to go fishing. When it was time to go home they all counted to see if they had six brothers.The first brother counted five and the second brother counted five.All of the brothers counted five,and those foolish fishermen thought they had a lost brother.Read this book to find out how they became six foolish fishermen all over again.

My daughter LOVES this book! We sat up in her bed the other night ROARING with laughter over these 6 Foolish Fishermen. She's only 7 but she understood their silly, foolish mistakes. (. . .)

I read this book because I knew it had some of the same themes of mortality I am currently encountering in my life. Hobbie very deftly discusses people in an unsentimental way that is a testament to his understanding of humans. Bravo! I recommend this book highly!

For readers who appreciate eloquence, the texture of words formed into thoughts and imprinted images, I recommend all of Douglas Hobbie's books, and recommend that they be read in the order written--"Boomfell," "The Day," (I think this is the title), "Being Brett," and "This Time Next Year." You will then understand the sadness and the life-affirming feeling that permeates this author's latest work. Mr. Hobbie recognizes that pain and loss can evolve into growth and perhaps lead to healing, while tightening already strong bonds between individuals. As a cancer survivor, I can tell you that these novels are sometimes not easy reads--but they are so genuine and enlightening that they are well worth the effort, given the author's themes and the depth of his feelings.

This is a brave book, full of sensous delights, well-made sentences, and sadness. The author seems to be very knowing, very mature, and very sad--all traits that popular culture refuses to admit exist. (thank god for good, honest books!) reading this book is bracing, enlightening and, at times, frightening.

This is a very good book. There's something the author could improve on in the next version. Examples in the book don't seem to encourage good programming practice. E.g., two consecutive if-blocks should be combined into one if-elseif-block for performance reason because only one IF is valid judging from the context. Some identical processing is done on the WHILE line rather than before the loop. Performance shouldn't be a concern for a beginning programmer but if it doesn't take much to teach, why not? Other than this, this is a very well written book.

You can't learn to swim by reading about it and the same goes for Visual Basic. In the end, you have to write some code. And that's often the rub. What can you develop if you have no clue about how to start? Hergert gives interesting, small apps to practice on that become increasingly more complex. My approach is to type in his code, watch the results and learn to understand the how-to's and the why's. Then I do the whole thing all over, solo. That's how I find the gaps in my understanding of the project and the language. This book is ideal. Thanks Doug!

Calvin Trillin once warned against eating at any deli with New York in its name; I've learned not to buy any programing language books with "days" in its title. This book employs a teaching technique I consider ideal: assume the reader knows nothing. In the hands of a clear and thoughtful writer such as Hergert, even advanced learners, who may space out occasionally, never feel talked down to. I've skimmed the sections I feel competent in and pored over the areas in which I have difficulty. In both cases, I've obtained the security of knowing that what I've learned I know thoroughly. The index is skimpy and keyword list incomplete; though you can make do with VB help, I recommend a reference book as a supplement. I use the VB Superbible (only because I bought it to use it as an instruction manual first). But as an instruction manual, I consider the VB Bible unsurpassable.

This book is easy and quick-paced reading. It focuses on the strengths and weaknesses of both evangelically-based (word) and charismatically-based (power) churches. The thrust of the book is churches which are focused on the extremes of either. What I like about the book is that it does not attempt to change one's view (as flawed as it may be) on the "ideal" church and its worship services and functions, it simply, yet effectively, directs the reader to biblically-based and historically-based alternatives to understanding God and the ways that He works. Be they through verses in the Bible or a more dramatic emotional experience. I do not agree with every single thought neither am I moved by every single story and example. However, that does not make the ideas proposed any less effective. Having said that, I am going to order a dozen of these books and give them out to other open-minded Christians who are ready to be at the forefront of a changing church. God help us all.

Banister pens an incredible work for those looking to move beyond dry orthodoxy and into passionate, spirit-driven relationship with Christ. He pushes you to take that plunge into the unknown, to that place you so much want to go, to where you feel God tugging you... that place where what's going on in your heart matches what's going on in your head... to where you not only know ABOUT God, but have an experience of Him.

I like Banister's honest approach (i.e., he speaks of his role as a pastor, and of preaching, but still feeling this tension). He doesn't back down from his own shortcomings, offers a clear perspective about his own biases, and never fails to let you know where he stands...

His goal... it seems it to bridge that gap between orthodox evangelicalism and passionate pentecostalism-- and show us that we (he writes from the side of evangelicalism) need not sacrifice thick Truth in order to worship-- and experience God passionately, as our "Charismatic" brothers and sisters do. Nor, do they have to negotiate their passions when seeking out deeper revelations of God in His word. It's not that you have to choose this OR that, Banister suggests. Rather, we are invited to experience God in Word and in Spirit-- in Word and in Power-- or, as Jesus suggests, in Spirit and in Truth.

Is an excellent book to read, as well, if you are coming from the Pentecostal side of Christianity, and are looking for solid theological footing, and wondering if you must comprimise your style of worship, your exercise of the prophetic gifts, etc., in favor of depth. This is not to suggest that you would lack depth simply because you are coming from that perspective. And, Banister conveys that well.

We can learn from each other. Indeed, we SHOULD learn from each other. For we are one in Christ.

Are you tired of church? Do you feel that there is something missing from your normal church experience? If you can answer "yes" to these questions - read the book!! Doug Banister asks some real hard questions and gives some surprisingly clear answers. You will be enlightened.

This book was ok, but I really liked Daddy Smarts by Bradley Richardson. If you only want to read one book, read Daddy Smarts instead.

Douglas DeMichele's 21st Century Dad: A New Father's Game Plan To Child Rearing addresses such fundamental aspects of parenthood as the cost of having a baby; how much free time will there really be; the basics of changing a diaper, burping, clothing and bathing an infant; how to better understand the new mother through pregnancy, birth, and post partum; what modern dad's are expected to do around the home; resuming sexual intimacy; "the mini-van discussion"; such "firsts" as smiling, crawling, walking, tooth, professional photo, and time alone with baby; child-rearing discussions with Mom; and the typical 24-hour day with an infant and a 2 year old. 21st Century Dad is "must" reading for all novice fathers and parents-to-be.

Oh this isn't just for daddy's out there. I am not a mother yet, but "21st Century Dad" has helped me with realistic expectations of possible parenthood. I appreciated not dealing with information overload by reading the easy format (bullet forms of lists and sidebars for those important highlights to remember). I especially paid attention to Dr. DeMichelle's emphasis on the importance of balance between mothers and fathers during stressful times. The book gave me ways to offer help with my nephews and nieces to provide their parents with quality time. Of course, I'll be sending this to family and friends with concerns about the essential basics necessary to start a family. What a great gift for all ages including grandparents having to relive those baby steps in the "21st Century".
