Handy, one of he world's foremost business philosophers, provides an important work that all leaders must read or at minimum acknowledge the concepts he espouses. As a leadership writer and instructor, Handy's work is a staple for my students. His chapters on the Sigmoid Curve and Doughnut are alone worth the price of the book.

The zealous analysis of the human behavior, the hidden clues conferred by the unconscious philosophy inserted in the myths, the absolute domain of the evolution of the paradigms, the constant and growing application in almost every one of our tangible and intangible systems and procedures around the knowledge 's universe, plus the prodigious imagination of Charles Handy has produced this admirable intelligent and audacious text that breaks the barriers of the conventional thinking around the well know managements issues.

All the organizations are supported unconsciously by ancient and similar facts immersed in the history. Handy has rethought, confirmed and carved in relief a magnificent example of what intelligence means: to reorder and focus from different angles the essential principles that underlie beneath the complexity and the increasing competitiveness of the modern world.

In this order of ideas, Handy plans and puts on the table of the leonine executive 's mind new proposals, demolishing certain behavior patterns that remain such authentic mental barriers. The paradoxes as well as the myths don' t pretend erect as perpetual life' s lessons, because this attitude would reveal precisely he rationalization of the mythical fact. Handy opposes the reality against the illusion of the reality and unmasks certain learned and absorbed models that we ten to assume as unerring. The paradoxes ' intention, in last instance is unbalance to rebalance, but you as manager is the only who can do it if you process the information and redistributes the iron laws in search of your role.

Innovation is simply an intelligent transformation, and this book bets for that device.

I read this for an MA course. Since Handy lives in Great Britain, he has a wonderfully refreshing view of leadership and political life (and how they work together). I'm so glad I read this book. It's conclusions are challenging but make sense.

Handy does an excellent job of defining key business and personal paradoxes. The best section was on the intellectual paradox which future managers need to know how to anticipate and deal with.

It has virtually a few pages of sense that can be put into practice, and have any value.

I may be influenced by, my privilege of having lived in England from the mid seventies thru early eighties. He particularly acknowledges the former Labor Party, Tony Benn. This "socialist" even frightened moderate laborites of its time. Another one of those he acknowlges is former Vice President Al Gore, and for Mayor of New York, Mayor Dinkins. As a resident and taxpayer of New York, I know the true David Dinkins !

He correctly points out that Microsoft Corporation is merely "intelectual Property". I agree with him. Later on, he rambles on that ownership of Corporations and business's should be overhauled.

We can all learn from Japan and Germany, and without Japan the US Auto Industry would still be producing thousands upon thousands of junk. However, his reasons that British and American Society should adapt the German and Japanese systems are a joke. In reality, much which was implemented in the 80's in both UK and US is now hurriedly being copied in Germany.

His Chinese Contract is not even worth the time to comment on it !

Other than a few pages of real practicality and common sense, this book is nothing more than left wing rambling and nonsense

He says it is about time we paid the third world a fair price for their trees. I insist must replant trees, we must reduce the amount of paper we comsume. Culprits must not get off the hook. This,in my opinion, is essential whatever ones political beliefs. This paperback is about 320 pages. It is a pity so many trees have to be torn down and the end result is this junk

This book opened up the perceived discrepancy between how Jesus treated those who needed healing and salvation and how he treated those who are religious.

To me, the easiest sin for a Christian is becomming "religious." I highly recommend this book.

"To be religious is simply to be sound, scriptural, and fundamental, yet without the presence of Christ" (p. 152). This one sentence summarizes the entire book, and expresses the author's main point: Christ and religion are separate, different, and opposed to each other. It is possible to have something of Christ, yet not have the living and present Christ Himself. Therefore, if something is traditional, religious, scriptural, or fundamental, regardless how good it may be, if it does not have the presence of Christ, God does not want it.

It is in this light that Witness Lee carefully takes the reader through the New Testament (especially Matthew, Paul's epistles, and Revelation) to show clearly, emphatically, and unequivocally, that Christ is versus religion.

What Witness Lee points out is very subtle and therefore can be easily misunderstood and misinterpreted upon first hearing. However, after reading through and studying, one sees that the point is strongly anchored in the Scriptures. Actually, one realizes that the fact is plainly found in the Bible. What can be clearer than Christ's own words, "You search the Scriptures. . . Yet you are not willing to come to Me. . . ." (John 5:39, 40).

I appreciate the clear exposition of the pure Word of God. I have been greatly helped and continue to be helped by the message conveyed in this book - seek only Christ!

Many times I heard Witness Lee's judgmental words about other Christians who didn't measure up to his own standards. The Bible says "Judge not that ye be not judged. For with the same judgement you judge, you are judged." Be careful. "Try the spirits."

This book revolutionized both my personal relationship with Christ and my understanding of what it is to be a member of the Body of Christ. Lee traces the theme of Christ versus religion through the entire New Testament, book by book.

In the Gospels, Jesus was questioned, pestered, and persecuted by religionists. Lee especially draws attention to the incident where Jesus was asked why his disciples did not fast, and Jesus replied that no one fasts when they are in the presence of the bridegroom. Christ referred to himself as the Bridegroom because that's what he wants to be to us! This little nugget alone had a huge impact on the way I relate to and talk to God -- it's so pleasant to enjoy Him as a wonderful bridegroom, a fiancee!

Moving on to Acts and Paul's epistles, we see how people in the early church struggled with such snares as gnosticism and returning to the laws of judaism. It is really eye-opening to see how much of the content of these epistles concerns turning the young believers away from these distractions and back to Christ Himself. Paul says, "I am jealous over you with a godly jealousy, for I betrothed you to one husband, that I might present you as a pure virgin to Christ" (2 Cor. 11:2)

Going book by book through the New Testament, this vision of Christ wanting a bride, not religious followers, becomes clearer and clearer.

Finally, the book concludes with three short chapters on Revelation. "Five Steps Toward a New Religion" expounds on the letters to the seven churches in Rev. 2-3 to show the steps of falling from a pure love for Christ into "Christianity" as a religion. This is not bashing anybody or anybody's way of worhsipping God -- it is calling each of us to take care lest our own hearts be carried away into religion instead of relationship. For example, the first step is "work without love."

The book of Revelation reveals both the bride of Christ and the true nature of religion, which is very hideous. Fortunately, this book also unfolds what the Word says about allowing the Lord to shine on and deal with our natural religious concepts. Above all, we must "keep our first love" for our dear Bridegroom!

Witness Lee meticulously, but in a readable format, debunks the myth that Christ is at the foundation of the Christian religion. He is clear and scripturally based in his argument and he makes the reader see that Christ never intended that His presence or His teachings would become the basis for religion or religious practices. I received revelation after revelation regarding Christ as life rather than as a founder of a religion. For the first time I saw the essential difference between the Tree of Life and the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, one being a picture of Christ, the other being a picture of religion.

Not only was the product shipped promptly and free of charge, but I got an unexpected bonus: 4 for the price of 3....how can I complain?

This book is just so cute. A great story to read to your class or wee little ones on St. Paddy's day or any day.

love this book! They "get" the trick Smart Oonah played on Cucullin. They squeal with delight when he bites down and breaks his teeth. It's not every day the bully gets his due.
It has nothing to do with St. Patrick's Day but I read it each year and they've never been bored!

My son really likes the Tomie De Paola books that we have, and I ordered this one since I really thought he would like the giant theme. I really liked the book up until the Giant's finger gets bitten off by Cucullin and he pounds the daylights out of the giant. Had I know that aspect was in the book, I would not have ordered it, so just beware.

Wonderful book for my Grandson - aged 6 - we read the story to him and he was enthralled. So much so, that he made us read it to a group of his friends. The style of writing was simple to understand and well illustrated with cartoons.

If you desire to motivate or keep your audience interested, this is a practical, helpful book.

If you do long seminars especially all day, this is the best book for such a developing professional speaker that I have read. If you are looking to build a strong 10 to 30 minutes inspiring and/or motivational speech this is definitely not the book for you. If that is what you are looking for then you want Success Secrets of the Motivational Superstars : America's Greatest Speakers Reveal Their Secrets by Michael Jeffreys. Furthermore, Jeffreys is the best overall book on becoming a great speaker. If you are serious about speaking performance you must read this book. If you want to see what an exceptionally well research book looks like read Jeffreys. It is getting harder to find so don't delay. Indirectly Jeffreys shows you how to research by example. Professional speaking is about being a first class expert. Only then develop an entertaining and humorous format and delivery. Or you could shoot for the lower rung of just being funny. Unfortunately, just being an expert does not put you on the ladder.

With the name Zig Ziglar-- his business associate-- all over this book my hopes were to high. The title (Inspire Any Audience) is overdone. Inspire is a misrepresentation. Keep them interested would be more accurate. Page 121 he advises avoiding words like certainly, positively and others. If the word any is not a violation then it will require a Clinton like explanation for the word "is" or in this case "any" from Jeary.

In chapter 8 "Keeping Their Attention" he introduces the concept of business entertainment-a phrase he has trademarked. In the title he uses the words proven secrets. The big secret is that his explanation of business entertainment is shockingly shallow. The worthy gist of is to do bold things to keep the audience engaged. Sorry, Jeary the command to play music, play games and other categories does not cut it. Explain yourself. I get the drift of it enough to say that is the book that Jeary or someone should write. That book would be fresh and exciting. In fact if that book exists I am going to find it.

On page 96 there is a page on gestures. In nearly every speaking book the author is so afraid of mechanical outcomes that they say trite stuff about be natural or be yourself. Give Jeary credit for making an attempt at giving some specific advise about gestures. The book turns me off on paying big bucks for his in person seminar on presentations at this point. There are lots of little tidbits and minor insights through out the book.

Just--- not a block buster book. It is well above average. Of the 40 plus books on speaking that I have read and reviewed on Amazon this book is at the lower end of the top ten books to read for public speaking improvement. Clearly, a worthy book.

Inspire Any Audience is worth the money and then some but it is not an inspired book that the author was burning to write. It is a darn good survey of techniques to give your customers an interesting day long seminar.

A fantastic book on a topic one easily neglects. The book is very clear written, enjoyable to read and re-read (a must), and devided into 4 parts: Before the Presentation, Beginning your Presentation, The Body of your Presentation, Closing your presentation. Tony Jeary succeeded in packing tons of useful information in that little book. A great book for the serious presenter!

Jerry presents usable ideas in a clear writing style. His methods force you to discover your target and keep you on-message from the introduction to the final summary and close. His Business Entertainment section is worth the price of the book. A must read for *any* presenter, pro or one-timer.

This book delivers far more than I thought it would when I first purchased it.

My openings have gotten a thousand times better. I've learned how to keep the audiences attention - especially during my longer (2+ hours) seminars. And there's a better flow between changes in topics.

I still pull this book out before all of my major presentations just to make sure I'm still on point. Whether you're a beginner or a professional speaker, I think you'll get a lot of value in this book, not found elsewhere.

In this book you will find everything you need about drugs: use, administation routes, adverse reactions, interaction with others drugs. All information is based in extensive bibliography. Maybe this edition of Martindale is not as actual as you will need, but is one of the most extensive resource in drug information

Why did they not republish the first edition that tasted of strawberries and cheese. This new version, with it's claims of a "lighter nuttier" taste, is plain awful

This book is excellent! I love it because you find everything on the market related to drugs. I like the part in which they list the commercial names on each continent, sometimes pharmaceutical companies used different names on different countries.
its a must buy for any person dealing with drugs, pharmacy or health care.

Martindale's remains the classic English language source for many drugs marketed around the world. It also keeps one abreast of natural medications and its use of published references makes confirming information easy. I have used previous editions of Martindale since 1960 and keep the most current version on hand.

For everyone in the health profession The Martindale is a book they need to have. You find all the relevant information about drugs and other usefull substances. Besides this it is very clearly written with no fuss, just the information you need.

Those who love books and the history of the written word have benefitted from these devoted "literary sleuths" who not only devoted themselves to located lost treasures, but who pioneered the rights of women in academe. A story of how devotede friends could pool their talents to rescue lost arts and discover the literary secrets of groundbreaking authors. A suprisingly exciting read.

Sometimes I will fall in love with an author's life as perceived through her books, and read all of her works for other glimpses into her private paradise. Authors such as Will and Ariel Durant, Edwin Way Teale, Stephen Jay Gould, and Oliver Sacks have shared their curiosity, astonishment, and joy with me. These authors are endlessly inquisitive. Each new discovery in their world, whether it is a fern, a skull, or an anecdote about a long-dead king is greeted with joy and eagerly shared with the reader.

Now in the dusty corner of bibliomania, I have found two more authors who are willing to share their joy of discovery with me. They even have a name for it: 'Finger-Spitzengefühl'--"the electrifying alertness to what is unusual or important in an early printed book. When 'Finger-Spitzengefühl' is coupled with serendipity, the gates of paradise open for the dealer in old and rare [books]."

Leona Rostenberg and Madeleine Stern share their "thrill of the chase and the joy of the find," as well as a seven-decade-long partnership in life--"the partnership of 'Faithful Friends' who share 'a deep, deep love.'"

I have to admit I had trouble getting into this book. I read some of the earlier pages six or seven times because I kept falling asleep and losing my place. However, once the authors were out of childhood recollections and into the chase--first of all for the works that Louisa May Alcott had published under a pseudonym--then I was hooked.

These authors have illuminated many once-obscure corners of history through their curiosity and devotion. They deplore collectors who pursue rare books as an investment, much as I would deplore a physician who is in practice 'only for the money.' Leona Rostenberg and Madeleine Stern have devoted their lives to the search for the old and rare, and their love, curiosity, and wisdom show through on almost every page of this book.

For everyone loving books, history and detectives this book is a great pleasure to read. With great enthusiasm Leona & Madeleine write about their lives and the books which they bought and sold. It makes one jealous of times when rare books could still be found under piles of dust instead of being sold for fortunes. So stop reading the reviews and start reading this book now.

Given to me as a birthday present on a misty Northwest beach,the whimsical allure of these charmingly self-possessed women residingin one of the toughest cities in the world, drew me into its first pages even as the rest of my party sat around on logs, barbecuing fine local viands & feeding the camp dogs. From their student years, surviving the Depression & WWII; to studying & getting published through the exciting times of starting a company & their book-hunting jaunts to musty basements in faraway places this is a lively, lovely duet by two voices weaving a deeply evocative memoir...

For those of us who lust after books about books, as well as the history of successful booksellers, this book is one of the best. "Old Books, Rare Friends" details the struggles and triumps of two of the most famous women in bookselling during the twentieth century. They include lots of stories about tracking those elusive hidden gems overlooked by other more successful book dealers. They also describe each woman's scholarly adventures, successes and failures. I read this when it was first published, but wanted to own it so I could re-read it from time to time. If you love books you can't go wrong with Madeleine and Leona's story.

Paradiso by Jósé lezama Lima is undoubtedly the most important literary work produced in Cuba in the 20th century.A poem.A tropical Remembrances of Things Past of Marcel Proust.Difficult to believe that such a work of art was produced in Havana in the 1960`s.
Superb reading.

Lezama is not for everyone... to feel Paradiso there is a need to understand all his previous work: essays, poetry, short stories, critical and cultural studies. For those who have seriously study World Literature, there is no doubt that Lezama is one of the most important, sensible and imaginative writers of the XX century. You might not like him (and that is ok!) but to doubt his artistic greatness is nonsense. Once you enter the poetic system of Lezama the rewards are endless!

Jose Lezama Lima achieved one of the most complex and mesmerizing novels of the XXth century in Latin America. Paradiso is a Bildungsroman (a novel about an individual's growing process) as it is a Kunstroman (novel about the artist). The reader will find many references to Lezama's life, but his work goes beyond a self portrait. Jose Cemi is a little cuban boy who grows up having breathing problems, and grasping the lifes of those who were before him.
His individuality mixes with the other's and the result is a complex narrator, an overwhelming amount of literary, cultural and mythological references, a refined use of the metaphor and a hightened sense of reality. Cemi's world is more than nature... it is supernatural. Cemi attends to the world of death, as he remembers the lifes of his ancestors, as they are told to him by his mother Rialta, and grandmother Augusta. The first half of Paradiso is all about the family... then uncle Alberto's death marks a point of change in the novel. From that moment on, it focuses in Cemi's friendship with two other students: Fronesis and Focion. The three of them constitute a triangle in which homosexuality, love, erotism, unity, mythology and androginy are the main topics. As well as incest.
When this simbolic triangle breaks, Cemi is ready for the epiphany: he meets Oppiano Licario: a friend of his father who promised him, as he was dying, to look after his son (Cemi). Licario also witnessed Alberto's sexual iniciation. He is a poet, and he is the one who can bring Jose Cemi out of the time of desperation into a rythm of reflection and artistic contemplation.
There is so much more to this novel... You can only know what it is all about by reading it. I can here only give you a few pieces. As Lezama believed: only what is hard is really rewarding, and this is particularly true for young people.

This and a handful of other literary creations rank among the best of the 20th century. It is a dense, jungle of images, language, against an elegant background. I can not think of another work to compare Paradiso to, as it stands alone. Once upon a time, I attempted to read it in Spanish, but was overcome by a tidal wave of intricate vocabulary.

It is unfortunate Lezama Lima has been largely forgotton in the US except for a few ardent readers. It is impossible to find any of his poems in translation. Maybe they are not so readily translatable. In any event, the translation of Paradiso is in itself an amazing achievement, as Paradiso explodes in volcanic beauty.

Some novelists are known for a pared down, no-nonsense approach to narrative, firmly delineated, plainspoken characters, crackling, lively dialogue, and swiftly moving, engrossing plots. Lezama-Lima is not one of those authors. It's hard to recommend a book that I have so many reservations about. Yes, the writing is occasionally beautiful, and as an historical document of a certain type of artistic and literary milieu in Pre-Castro Cuba, it's worth something. But I'm afraid that I'm going to have disagree with all of the reviewers here and say that LL's endless aestheticism must be something of an acquired taste. The problem is that he writes prose too much like a poet--all florid circumlocutions with no feel for the rhythms of everyday life and speech. No doubt he would have felt the everyday to be beneath his austere heights. Nobody talks the way his characters do--it's all lengthy, abstruse theorizing on frequently esoteric subjects. His essentially elitist approach to writing fiction would test the patience of anyone who looks to literature for a more immediate kind of connection. And, sorry, Mr. White, LL is not the Latin American Proust--Proust is far more readable and speaks to more basic human experiences.

Sometimes some of the worst snobs are those (i.e., homosexuals) who have themselves suffered the most heinous abuse because of their dubious social stature--rather than reject the values of the mainstream, a writer like LL ends up embodying them and perpetuating them to an infuriating degree through his snobbish affectations. Or else one could view his aesthetic vision as essentially escapist, understandable given the political situation in Cuba at the time. Still, a more accurate view of what was actually happening might have been of more human interest--it would have been valuable to see how these characters strained to maintain their sensibility in view of what was actually occurring around them. But, as it is, the book seems to exist in a vacuum with no real connection to the political situation in Cuba--its Eurocentric preoccupations offend.

Les recomiendo la versión audio de Piense y Hágase Rico Piense y hagase rico

El único pero que le pongo a este audiolibro es el hecho de que el narrador se pasa los primeros 40 minutos dando su aburrido punto de vista y consejos, además de que su voz es un poco ridícula. Me hubiése gustado una voz mas agradable como la de J.J. Benitez.

PIENSE Y HÁGASE RICO

He leído este libro un par de veces. No porque me parezca tan bueno como para leerlo más de una vez, sino porque la traducción al español fue hecha hace mucho tiempo, por lo que no estoy familiarizado con algunas palabras.

Tengo entendido que ya existe una versión con lenguaje actualizado en inglés, pero no sé si en español ya exista algo similar.

Yo no he visto con mucho agrado los libros de superación personal, tal vez porque los primeros que leí fueron obligatorios en la escuela, y además eran aburridos. Sin embargo no podía dejar de leer este libro, escrito por uno de los más grandes exponentes de la literatura de superación personal que jamás ha existido: Napoleón Hill.

"Piense y Hágase Rico" no solamente pretende exponer la fórmula que el autor descubrió para adquirir riquezas económicas, sino que en general contiene los pasos a seguir para obtener éxito en la realización de cualquier objetivo.

Puntos a favor:
· Muestra excelentes ideas, en la forma de 13 pasos, para plantear objetivos, formular planes y ejecutarlos.
· Es un libro que, como lo dice su título, te pone a pensar.
· Contiene palabras y pensamientos que realmente inspiran al lector.

Puntos en contra:
· El autor es muy rígido e insiste demasiado en llevar a cabo los 13 pasos... yo creo que es mejor obtener la esencia de los principios expuestos, y formular personalmente su propia metodología.
· Para lograr los objetivos planeados el autor da por hecho que el lector cree en la existencia de un Ser Superior, o Mente Infinita, o como se le quiera llamar, excluyendo de esta manera a los ateos... entonces quien no cree en la Mente Infinita, o en Dios, o en algún ser superior está destinado a ser un perdedor, y un miserable toda su vida. Por supuesto esto no ocurre en la realidad.
· El lenguaje y algunos conceptos son anticuados.

En resumen, sí recomiendo leer "Piense y Hágase Rico" de Napoleón Hill, pero con una mente crítica, reteniendo la esencia de los principios expuestos en el libro.

UN EXCELENTE CLASICO DE AYUDA Y SUPERACION PERSONAL

Todos los logros, incluyendo todas las fortunas jamás acumuladas, tuvieron su origen con una idea.

La riqueza proviene de convertir una idea de algo que solamente nuestra mente puede ver en algo que le sea útil a otras personas, y para lo cual estén dispuestos a pagar.

Esto se realiza mediante la autosugestión, la planeación organizada, la asociación de mentes maestras y una armonía interna entre los pensamientos y las acciones así como los logros en la vida.

Tus Zonas Erroneas Este libro es muy interesante; me ha echo pensar en muchas diferenttes formas de ver el mundo y a mi externo e interno yo. Se lo recomiendo a todos los que deseen ver mas alla de lo que nuestros ojos puedan ver.

In this book, Wayne W. Dyer teach us many things in order for us to improve in our relationships. It's one of the best self-help books I have ever read. It shows you how to deal with yourself without caring about others. It shows you the importance of living life at its best and value every minute of our life. Dyer teach us how to say 'NO' to those bad habits we have and think different about life. With a simple language, so everyone can read it, Dyer makes you think carefully about your life and will definitely help you improve. This book was recommended to me by my psycologist and I never regret having read it. Now it's up to you ;)

He leido casi todos los libros de este escritor , pero este libro , no me gusto mucho como otros , porque en el Capitulo de la Independencia menciona que la mujer tiene que ser Independiente , y nunca depender de nadie y trabajar , EL SE CONTRADICE SOLO , porque el esta casado y tiene 7 Hijos , De que mujeres esta hablando ya que su esposa con 7 hijos no es esposa sino esclava ....

I do not have any comments about this book yet, but for sure is really helpful. I still reading it and since the beginning I start to enjoy it.

This book tought to me a lot about me and the other people

I found Mr. Hickenbotham's book a valuable asset to my library. It is rich with scriptural evidence and full of quotes from a wide range of sources that enlighten the reader on a significant number of issues raised by critics. The book is accurate and on-point. Stepping out of the book and following the scriptural and reference trail Mr. Hickenbotham has created is an eye-opening and fulfilling journey unto itself. Those that would not like this book are the ones that make their living from creating the very questions this book answers. I encourage everyone that wants to become informed on the campaign of deceit that is waged against the Saints to order this book and help put an end to the myths and misconceptions created by the critics.

I recently became acquainted with this book after borrowing it from a friend. I found it to be very comprehensive, addressing all but the most esoteric and sensationalist anti-Mormon questions. It's certainly appropriate for the sincere investigator. Level and quality of writing as well as thoroughness in reviewing available literature on the questions makes it ideal for a missionary with a bit more than the average interest in apologetics, or a member who wants a single reference book.

After growing up in the U.S. traditional Christian world, and converting to Mormonism at the age of 35, the past eight years have been a struggle for me to move beyond the often judgmental and preconceived notions that I grew up with for so many years. After thousands of hours of study I find that I much prefer deciding for myself where my heart lies, and it is works such as this book that bring new insight, thinking, contemplation and eventual knowledge into my own understanding as to what I feel the scriptures really mean to me. This book will give new insights into interpretations of scriptures from whatever background you come from. By knowing what the critics are saying and their common attacks and also becoming more knowlegeable with traditional Christian thinking, a follower of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints will gain knowledge of their fellow brethren that will possibly help them come closer in communication and understanding. Through reading this book traditional Christians may begin to see why the many tactics used toward their fellow Latter-Day Saint brethren don't really have much impact in conversion but will always really be directed toward their own congregations trying to get them not to look or think for themselves, and that by gaining a knowledge of why the effect is nill may bring knew insight into developing relationships with their fellow brethren that are meaningful and very productive. Either way, both sides have knowledge to gain by understanding the truth about the issues. Go ahead, click the "BUY BUTTON" -- don't judge a book by its cover or its glue!

Although the author is my dad and perhaps this might seem to bias my judgement, I have used his book numerous times both in teaching lessons and for personal research. I do this not because my dad wrote the book but because the answers are solid and well-worded. Oftentimes his book is the best reference to questions which on the surface seem impossible to answer (supposed mysteries with which we must use faith). I have learned that an answer exists to every question and so has my father. He expresses that point well by answering those difficult questions which many of us have.

This is a great book to easily find answers to questions about the LDS faith. It is a good read, easy to understand and gives informative and thoughtful responses to Gospel related subjects. A very useful reference work.
