The Touch of Two Kings
Published in Paperback by Haynes & Assoc Pub Co (June, 1986)
Author: Rick Stanley
Average review score:

The Touch of Two Kings
The Touch of Two Kings is an awesome book and spiritually uplifting. Rick Stanley has had a life of turmoil and has overcome. He begins this book by talking about his days in a boys home with his brothers. After having been in the home for a while, his mother Dee comes to take him to his new home. This new home is Graceland and his new brother is Elvis Presley. Rick talks about his relationship with Elvis but speaks more of the relationship he will (and still does) have with Jesus Christ. He also speaks about the major role his wife, Robyn, played is his decision to become a child of the King. This book is an inspiration to those who enjoy reading about the lives and testimonies of fellow brothers of Christ or to anyone who enjoys learning about the life of Elvis Presley.


Tough Talk: How I Fought for Writers, Comics, Bigots, and the American Way
Published in Paperback by Times Books (December, 1998)
Authors: Martin Garbus, Stanley Cohen, and David Halberstam
Average review score:

Captivating stories from a First Amendment warrior.
What is clear from the accounts of Garbus' battles for freedom of speech is that the struggle to be free or to remain free will never end. Garbus also shows how one person (or a few) can make a huge difference in the free society we enjoy today. The book portrays many heros, several scoundrals, and events in the past that all jump off the page in a new light. I've added Martin Garbus to my top-ten list of people I would most like to have dinner with because I'd like to find out much more about his exploits in defending our right to hear and read anything others have to say.

This textbook captures the essentials of its title.
Compared to other text books of this nature dealing with the same scientific discipline, Manahan captures the reader's attention by dealing with several environmental focal points from and organic, toxicological, and environmental chemistry standpoint.

Based on its uniqueness and seemingly open paths for comprehension, this textbook is a must for those desiring further knowledge in the area of toxicological chemistry with a detailed spectrum of organic and environmental chemistry with a keen mix of environmental toxicology.

In short one would soon surmise this textbook is nothing short of academically remarkable and a credit to the fields of environmental toxicology, organic chemistry, and environmental chemistry. It is a must read science text for those in the environmental and chemistry fields whether academic, industrial, or government.


Triggers: A New Approach to Self-Motivation
Published in Paperback by Simon & Schuster (Paper) (March, 1987)
Author: Stanley Mann
Average review score:

Bottom Line on Stan Mann's Excellent Book - Triggers
If you need a major breakthrough in an important area of your life, this book is a must read. If you read it, you'll try the techniques. If you try it, you'll get results.

Examples? Ok, here's just a couple:

Weight Maintenance - for years I have been on the old roller coaster - gain 20 pounds, lose 20 pounds, gain 30 pounds, etc.

We have a bridge group. One evening I started to reach for the peanuts - our host always has some kind of fattening goodies on the table. At the point of no return (you just can't have one handful), I remembered what I learned in Triggers. I DID NOT EAT A SINGLE PEANUT - NONE!!

I've maintained my weight since that evening two years ago, under a lot of tempting situations.

Peak Performance - you've probably read the books and listened to topics on how to pull up a peak performance anytime you want to. This was difficult for me.

Example: OK, I was preparing a speech of introduction for a nationally-known motivational speaker. My rule - no more than 2-3 minutes, if that. I knew I could do a good job, but good was not enough for me.

Once again, I used a technique from Triggers. The audience was pleased, the speaker appreciative and I was feeling great!

If you are committed to continuous improvement in your personal and/or your professional life, buy Triggers today.END


The Truth About God: The Ten Commandments in Christian Life
Published in Paperback by Abingdon Press (April, 1999)
Authors: Stanley Hauerwas and William H. Willimon
Average review score:

The Counter Cultural 10 Commandments
The Ten Commandments that a judge from Alabama fought to hang on the wall were not the commandments of God that Christians serve. Those same commandments are not a general call for morality that can save the pluralistic society of the United States of America. According to the authors, these commandments must be understood within the context of the Christian community. This work declares the Ten Commandments to be the way that the worshiping church relates to God and each other. Hauerwas and Willimon seek to explain the commandments from that context so that they may be known "perfectly."

Only the worshiping church is able to understand the Ten Commandments. They are not, as explained by the authors, "timeless ethical principles that are applicable to all Americans." This work reclaims another part of the church's heritage necessary for life as resident aliens. Clearly, Hauerwas and Willimon are working within and driving the trend toward understanding the church as a community. Their attack on American individualism serves to push the church to understanding itself as a holy people. These holy people are the possession of the "God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and the God of Jesus Christ."

The Truth about God is a striking look at the Ten Commandments. This work exposes the ways that our society is so sinful that the institution of the Church is the only hope for Christians to survive and obey God. Only within this context are the people of God able to truly obey his words to us. Despite the informal tone of some sections of the book, it strikes deeply in exposing our sinfulness and the churches need for grace. Hauerwas and Willimon teach at Duke University in Durham North Carolina. Hauerwas serves as the professor of Theological Ethics, and Willimon serves as the Dean of the Chapel and professor of Christian Ministry.

Average review score:

A Great Mystery for Kids.
This book is about a girl's hockey team that goes to Miss WestMisent's Fine School for Girls. It starts out when they are on the bus and Miss Westmisent is taking the hockey team to the game in Buffalo. When they get to the airport they get on the wrong plane and go to Moscow, Russia. They meet a Princess named Anastasia. She has a Ukranian Egg with her. The story goes on from there.

It is a really good book for kids. I read it in the fifth grade and liked it a lot. I would recommend it to all my friends.


The Ultimate Quilting and Patchwork Companion: A Complete Guide to Quilting, Patchwork and Applique, with Over 140 Practical Projects: Quilts and Thro
Published in Hardcover by Lorenz Books (January, 2001)
Authors: Isabel Stanley and Jenny Watson
Average review score:

Truly an awesome quilting book!
I was looking for a good all-around book on quilting, that had basic tips and guidelines as well as a variety of projects. This book most definitely fits the bill!

It contains detailed sections on historical background, fabrics, techniques, tips, and has lots of full-color photographs that are very clear and easy to follow (not to mention gorgeously done).

The projects included are beautiful and unique, not your regular log cabin/flying geese quilt block fare. There are a number of different quilting styles explored that create some truly stunning items: clothing, home decorating, accessories, toys, linens, and more.

Many of the fun items are perfect for gift-giving (if you can bear to give them away and not keep them for yourself!). The book delves into the use of lots of other fabrics for quilting from silks to batiks, even PVC, so it's not just your granny's 100% cotton calicos any more!

I guarantee that just flipping through the book you'll find at least five projects that you'll want to get started with.

Best of all, it approaches all the projects with a very simple yet casual attitude, demystifying what appear to be impossible techniques and fabric usage, making "advanced" quilting accessible to crafters of all skill levels.

The book itself is not all that large, it's a smaller format overall and the pages are very sturdy and thick high-quality paper. However, despite its size, the sheer amount of information packed within it is truly enough to get anyone started or keep anyone interested. I like the size as it's easy to take with me and it fits well in the hand.

I own a lot of quilting books, some of them the size of a coffee-table book, and I have to say that this book is the one I constantly go back to, to look up information, get quick instructions on "how do I do this again?", find a project for a rainy day (or weekend, or week), or sometimes just to page through and wish I had an unlimited fabric budget.

If you get this book you will not be disappointed!

Understanding Atm
Published in Paperback by McGraw Hill Text (June, 1996)
Authors: Stanley Schatt and Stan Schatt
Average review score:

"Understanding ATM" is a must read
Stan Schatt's ATM book is brilliant! I've made this required reading for everyone in my Global One Network Design & Management group - Mr. Schatt is a unique author with the ability to take very complex technical subjects and present them in easy to digest morsels.

I have also recommended his other books on LANs & Telecommunications Management to senior commercial & business managers, here in Europe who are looking for an easy to understand reference.

"Understanding ATM" is a must read for anyone in the telecomm business who plans to remain on the leading edge in the future!
