Woody Allen Books

Jesus was a man just like any of us, and his life was more than what the Bible set forth about him. "The Aries Jesus" is a fictional look at what the life of one of history's most influential figures was like before he walked into the public eye. Seeking to explain Jesus's biblical actions, and the actions of those around him such as his infamous betrayal by Judas Iscariot, "The Aries Jesus" is a spiritual and enlightening piece of fiction. Highly recommended for Christian fiction fans.

If I did not already know that George's life was actually this dramatic and exciting, I would surely not beleive it was possible. And the Author has really done his homework!! Remarkably accurate from the usual rumor and story about this often misunderstood former statesman....I ought to know...George Francis Train is my Great, Great, Great, Grandfather's Cousin :)

Excellent coverage of pharmaceutical compounding. This book includes tools, ingredients, sample recipes, and useful vocabulary on pharmaceutical compounding. It is an exceptional resource and guide for pharmacists intending to expand into compounding, breaking away from the traditional robotic-like duties of community pharmacies. It will help the pharmacist get started on this different, fun, and creative side of pharmaceutical service: compounding. Have fun!

Although Christenson's book is a study of Maya religion in a contemporary community, his insights are crucial for understanding the pre-Hispanic past as well. I don't believe any other book gets this close to understanding Maya views of time and the animate universe. This book must be read by every Mayanist, professional and amateur alike.

I found Ms Parv's book at the library. And I am pleased to say I read the whole book. Most 'how to write' books are...well, dry and tedious to read. So I skip through the pages selecting this and that. Not so with 'The Art of Romance Writing'.

Valerie draws you into her manual and pretty soon you are learning while you thought you were 'just reading'.

I have purchased this book now. Yes, it will sit on my bookshelf for future reference and I am sure it will help make my writing better.

This discreet unpretentoius little book is a gem. It gets a great balance between facts and info and the spirit and art of the state. A great starting point for planning a trip to the state of Maine. I was keen to find out as much about the state before my planning was too advanced and this has been an enormous help in steering toward some (apparently, not been yet so not sure) very interesting places. It is not designed to sell the state or any particular element such as hotels or dining. It does cover what it says the Spirit and the Art. A really great little book that I will treasure and return to I will also be buying others in the series!!

Dr. Brillhart is without question the leading authority in this arena. His brilliance is evident in his clinical interpretation of diagnostic medical ascension. I would urge all physicians to review this important work.

I read up till the end to find out why Faith stopped playing tennis. Also got to learn a little about Arthur Ashe.

This is a great no-nonsense "how-to" book about the business of managing recording artists. I loved the way the author assumed no prior knowledge of this business. I've been an artist manager and booking agent, but I got a lot out of this book. I urge any young band or solo artist to get this book and follow the author's advice. Reasonable price, meat 'n' potatoes information, and no fluff -- this is a great book!

I had heard of As a Man Thinketh and decided to get it. I saw a set (7 Motivational Greats) that included As a Man Thinketh, Acres of Diamonds and 5 others and figured for only a couple of $ more than just As a Man Thinketh if any one of the additional titles was good I couldn't lose. I am reviewing this audiobook from the set I bought.

SHORT REVIEW I like them all very much but, I also have played most of these titles for my friends and every one liked them and most wanted to borrow them or asked where I bought them. I think that tells you all you really need to know, but if you want the details read on.

THE BIG REVIEWAs a Man Thinketh stresses how thought leads to action and how to turn those actions into concrete changes in your life. It is narrated very serenely with classical music. It puts you at ease and into a very receptive and retentive state for the information.

They set (7 Motivational Greats ) also has a modernized version of As a Man Thinketh ( As a Man Thinketh 2 ) that I enjoyed a lot also. It was quite a contrast from the classical, relaxed, and serious original As a Man Thinketh. These two audiobooks cover the basics of changing your mind and life to succeed.

They both cover pretty much the same material - but As a Man Thinketh 2 goes more in-depth and summarizes the information making it simpler and more idiot proof. The description says that As a Man Thinketh 2 is more comprehensible and actable than the original. I think that is true, but it is not as simple and relaxing as the original. The newer one is more detailed. It is also may be better suited for those who are younger, and those who enjoy humor, but not for very serious people without humor. As a Man Thinketh 2 is not as poetic and as meditative as the original. It, unlike the original version, includes women equally in it which I appreciated.

Also the narrator is very energetic, humorous, and there are different characters in it. The music is new age compared to classical for the original. So if you enjoy being entertained while you learn this one is for you. One of my friends, a mother of 3 teenagers, who bought a set for her kids to listen to said that the As a Man Thinketh 2 was better than the original. Her kids understood it and liked the faster pace. Apparently the older more formal English, classical music, and more poetic and relaxed tone of the original was not as good for them.

If you want straightforward, monotone, relaxing audiobook reading As a Man Thinketh 2 is not for you, but I really think overall it is better than the original version. It is easier to understand, more modern, clearer, and more detailed. Although both versions of the As a Man Thinketh are good.

I suggest if you want a more peaceful and meditative experience listen to the original.
If you want humor, energy, and lightness, go with the As a Man Thinketh 2 or better yet use and enjoy them both as I did. Between the two the powerful ideas of James Allen are very clear.

After listening to this set I feel that audiobooks are much better than reading for titles like these (inspirational and motivational). This is especially true for sets like this that you will want to listen to again and again just pop them in when you have time. The narrator comes across like a trusted friend, not stiff and formal, and the music and sound effects really put you in the mood.


GET THE CD or SET. YOU WILL NOT BE SORRY.
