Sensitive Chaos: The Creation of Flowing Forms in Water and Air
Published in Paperback by Anthroposophic Press (01 January, 1990)
Authors: Theodor Schwenk and J. Collins
Average review score:

Water, Water, Everywhere
It's out-of-print. No one you know has ever heard of this book. No matter: the trouble you may have in finding a copy of Sensitive Chaos will be worth it. The images will remain with you. The text will teach the old dog (you) new tricks. And years and years from now you will still recognize the spiral of water in the things you see, and you'll even feel a little more connected to the world. Beautiful book.

A beautiful and poetic view of science
This beautiful book remains scientifically accurate while describing in poetic and spiritual style the flowing of fluids in nature. A beautiful collection of pictures illustrates how even living things follow the rules of fluid flow as new cells flow forth in the growth process.


Seven Old English Poems (Norton Paperback)
Published in Paperback by W.W. Norton & Company (August, 1981)
Author: John Collins Pope
Average review score:

Good book to learn Old English if you have a degree
This is a good reader. It uses hard to fine Old English poems instead of word for word Latin translation which are useless. Old English grammer and latin are not at all the same. I tried using a reader that used an Old English translation of the Latin Bible and while it is good for learning words, the bad thing is you are learning Latin grammer instead of Old English grammer and word order. Old English is Germanic and the grammer is VERY Germanic. Watch out for ANY Old English proses for it is normally word for word Latin translated into Old English. This will really trip you up. Wyatt Kaldenberg

Good Student Text
This volume contains seven poems in Old English--Caedmon's Hymn, The Battle of Brunanburh, The Dream of the Rood, The Battle of Maldon, The Wanderer, The Seafarer, and Deor. While clearly not a substitute for the Anglo-Saxon Poetic Records, this book has been edited well by Pope, and contains textual notes, commentary covering critical issues central to each of the poems, and perhaps most importantly, a glossary of the words in the poems. The New Edition (1981) also has a supplement listing editions of the poems that have come out since 1966 and some additional notes.


Sexual Ethics and The New Testament : Behavior & Belief
Published in Paperback by Crossroad/Herder & Herder (April, 2000)
Author: Raymond F. Collins
Average review score:

Finally! A Responsible Look at Sexuality and Christianity!
While I do not consider myself a biblical scholar, this book definitely caught my attention. I have to admit expecting a Roman Catholic papal redundancy on this topic, but instead I found Fr. Collins to be very insightful and penetrating in his analysis of controverisal topics. This book has challenged me with its nascent call to a sexual identity that is both wholesome and spiritual. Kudos to Fr. Collins! He is a welcome beacon in an often stale, stolid tradition.

Let's Talk About Sex!
I was introduced to Fr. Collins' work while studying theology and have come to expect much from this fine scholar. This book upholds the consistency and penetrating depth I have found in his other works. In this book, Collins explores relevant New Testament texts in both a historical and literary context, offering to the reader a new understanding of how discipleship and sexuality relate to each other, necessarily. Using poignant examples from the Gospels and the epistles, Collins dispels many misunderstandings about sexuality in the New Testament by using his fine exegetical skills, especially in noting the various lenses inherent to any hermeneutic task. Collins does not seek to define certain meanings or construct a systematic program; rather, he opens the New Testament texts to allow them to speak for themselves, to speak to the fact that human sexuality is a complex reality permeating any person's existence--hence the subtitle of his work: behavior and belief. The central motif of this book is that all disciples of Christ are called to embrace their sexuality as both gift and responsibility. In this affirmation Collins offers a look into the cultural conexts of the New Testament and elicits the reader to grapple with the questions offered in the New Testament texts themselves and those still very applicable in our own time: divorce, adultery and homosexuality. The parameters of this challenge can be found in Collins' conclusion; that a viable contemporary sexual ethics must include the following: the notion of embodied existence; the dignity of women in God's plan; and the overarching demands of agapaic love. Though written and executed in fine academic fashion, Collins also brings to this work his pastoral experience and compassion thereby making the book accessible to anyone who seeks to integrate sexuality and ethics as a living reality. Though attempts have been made to separate human sexuality and ethics, Collins invites his readers to integrate these realities. Thus, he gives us yet another great work, providing a valuable resource not only to ethicists and theologians but to all who wish to explore the possiblites of growth in their Christian identity.

Miniature quilts made easy.
How can this author put so much into a book. She begins with easier piecing and takes the mystery out of putting tiny pieces together. She goes beyond this by showing the best value of color to make the quilt dance and sparkle. This is an amazing book, one that every quilter should have in their library. She solves problems, causes you to want to make tiny quilts in many many colors for every room in the house.

Miniature quilts made easier.
SMALL SCALE QUILTMAKING takes the mystery and fear out of tiny piecing. The selection of fabric is so very important, showing that the strong contrasting fabrics have more character. Many projects to entice any quilter with information to make this tiny project a reality.


Speeches That Changed the World
Published in Hardcover by Westminster John Knox Press (July, 1999)
Authors: Owen Collins and Andrew Young
Average review score:

The Greatest Inspiration
There is something noble about those things that inspire you. I got this book because I speak for a living and wanted to read the words of some of the most articulate speakers of all time. When I got this book, I found a volume of inspiration beyond what I expected. There are, of course, the great speeches like MLK's "I have a dream" speech and Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, but there are also a good number of jewels that most people haven't seen; like a brief submitted to the Supreme Court by Mother Theresa that made me think long and hard about a very tough subject and reexamine my stance somewhat. If you purchase this book, you won't be disappointed.

If you love history, you'll love this
This is a remarkable collection of famous speeches, as well as those that are not very well known. It is organized in chronological order, beginning with Moses and ending with Hilary Clinton. If you're looking to expand your knowledge of history, or simply looking to see what great speeches are made of, this is the book for you!

Star Struck: A Quinn Collins Mystery (Five Star First Edition Mystery Series)
Published in Hardcover by Five Star (June, 2002)
Author: Nancy Baker Jacobs
Average review score:

Another entertaining mystery from Nancy Baker Jacobs.
STAR STRUCK introduces Quinn Collins, reporter and co-owner of "Hollywood
Star", a struggling show business publication. When movie mogul Shane
King (who happens to be the son of Quinn's former lover) is murdered, Quinn
uses her reporting skills to help track down Shane's killer.

Quinn is an appealing heroine (in the tradition of another detective created by
Ms. Jacobs, Devon MacDonald). Her wonderfully wry observations about Hollywood
show that she is anything but star struck. I hope this is the beginning of
a new series!

True Crime or a great mystery?
Author Nancy Baker Jacobs has nailed the Hollywood scene in this page turner of a mystery. As a former resident of Hollyweird who worked in the Biz, I recognize all the elements of the culture and the people who seek their fame and fortune there. Ms. Jacobs writes with truth and humor in this first of many (I hope) Quinn Collins mysteries.

Awesome A MUST read
I loved this book it was sooooooo awesome! The Sunny+Matt storyline was good but the Elias Geena part was even better! I borrowed this book and I really didn't want to give it up.
