Thoughts from an Old GenXerReview Date: 2007-01-20
"Generation NeXt" turned out to be an intriguing read for me. I am on the line between Boomers and GenXers. Different sources have placed me in each camp, so if I'm a GenXer, I'm an old one.
My review will be from the perspective of an old GenXer with a teenager and young adult children. At times, as I read "Generation NeXt" I felt exactly that, old, but then I'd turn a few pages and identify with exactly what Tricia had penned.
Had I read this book when my children were younger, I think I would have gained insight leading to freedom from some guilt baggage I lugged around for far too many years.
Tricia's "Generation NeXt Parenting" is an encouraging pat on the back with plenty of spiritual and practical challenges tossed in. She doesn't take traditional problems and toss out advice on how to handle it as much as she covers the holistic issues of parenting and Christlikeness.
If you are looking for another parenting book that has an index and multiple tips on how to handle potty training, you won't find much in "Generation NeXt." However, if you desire to dig to underlying motivations on your part and your children's behaviors, there is help offered here. Of course, a lot of the advice is what we who call ourselves "Christian" know because it's preached from the pulpit, radio and other books. But it bears repeating until we "get" it. Tricia gives practical ideas for how to get on track or back on track spiritually so that you can be the parent God calls you to be.
I learned far more from "Generation NeXt" than I thought I would. Tricia peppers her thoughts with those from other struggling parents and facts regarding the unique building blocks GenXer's have been given.
I thought of several friends who have younger children who could benefit from this book and intend to get a copy to them.
Wise, Yet Never PompousReview Date: 2007-02-06
I am the father of two daughters, ages 12 and 14. My wife and I have parented from the onset with the belief that we want to prepare our kids for life, not just protect them from it. Goyer finds that balance in this easy-to-read book, offering encouragement and philosophical angles to raising children. The pages are rich with spiritual insight, Scriptural foundations, and bits of humor. The quotes from Gen-X bands (Chicago, Gloria Estefan, Talking Heads, etc) add a light touch to these sometimes serious issues.
If you're struggling with your own generational parenting style, if you're wondering how well you are doing in God's eyes, or if you're just interested in a wise, yet never pompous, guide to "getting it right," then Tricia Goyer's book is for you. (And don't forget to check out here great fiction titles!)

Don't be surprised by the problems we face just around the corner in the new century in energy, minerals and water.
A Very Important BookReview Date: 2002-07-19
Read it at your own risk: it's going to paint a bleak picture of future mineral resources.
Best book I've ever readReview Date: 2005-07-18
The range of what is covered is so vast I can't do justice to this book, but among other things, you'll learn the role of minerals and wars, civilizations, politics, and overviews of alternative energy sources. You'll emerge with a better understanding of how the world really works, what to invest in, and a deep appreciation of the amazing lives we're leading at this peak of civilization.
After I read this monumental book, I was sad and angry that history was never taught this way while I was in school. If there is one book you should have on your shelf for those who make it through the bottleneck of the coming ecological crash, this is it.
I have read thousands of non-fiction books as I walk to work and back ten miles a day -- this is the most important and life-changing book of all of them.
The classic work on natural resourcesReview Date: 2004-02-10
This book should be required reading for all college freshmen, and should be included in every high school, college and public library.
It is unfortunate that the book is often out of stock and difficult to find.
Bad Tasting Medicine we all need to take...Review Date: 2003-03-14
Let's all hope that technology can deliver us from most of the doom and gloom presented in the book. As a geologist I was familiar with the limitations on our mineral resources but did not construct the relational scenarios that were presented in the book. The "oil interval" of earth history is overlooked by most people even in the sciences. It's far reaching implications points out the severe case of myopia from which our society suffers. The fact that we comsume 60% of our soon to be precious oil for the luxury of being able to run to the convenience store for a pack of gum is also sobering. Buy the book impart the information to your kids.

"I would take issue with the Pentecostal's review...."Review Date: 2008-06-18
I would take issue with the Pentecostal's review. I am Assembly of God, and have questioned the 'prayer language' thing myself. I just didn't know why. After reading this book, which is totally Scriptural, now I know.
I can't say how much I liked (also) the chapter on why we should pray for things we pretty sure will happen. That shed new light on Christ's "give us...our daily bread".
You won't be disappointed in this book if you are serious about praying.

"If you thought you knew everything about prayer, think again!"Review Date: 2006-10-13
I can't add much to what the others have said except this should be required reading for all new Christians.
I never knew there was so much involved with praying. Like most others I just assumed praying was talking to my heavenly Father, but after reading this book I guess that's like saying a family relationship is just talking to a parent.
Here are what I call the 'positives' in "God, Help Me Pray!":
1. This is very simple to read and understand.
2. I like the email back and forth idea! Makes this really personal.
3. Chapters are short and easy to digest if you think about them awhile.
4. Author really supports with scripture instead of opinion.
5. The last chapter. I never really understood the 'in Jesus name' thing.
Here is what I call the 'negatives':
1. I didn't quite understand the 'pray for sure things' chapter, but it made sense.
2. As a full gospel Christian, I disagree that speaking in tongues is not prayer language, but it really made me think. I'm still thinking on this one.
3. I REALLY wish this had a workbook. There is so much here. Maybe later?
I have once attended this author's Saturday evening bible class before we moved, and can highly recommend his sincere teaching. I am about to start his 'Joseph' book, and will say already that it's much more complex than this one.
So if you think you know everything about praying, think again.
'If you want to know everything about prayer in short order, you just found it!'Review Date: 2006-09-25
I figured as cheap as this book was, this might come close. I was wrong. This book hit it on the nose. He writes conversationally. There are 12 chapters that are 'emails' from Jerry to God to Jerry concerning every possible question about praying. OK, pretty cool concept!
Really solid stuff, briefly written for MEN as well as women. In other words, it's practical and not too fluffy for my husband. (Like Kay Arthur.) I bought three. Gave one to my preacher, one to my son, and kept the third. I really like this book. Made me think. Made me understand what prayer really is, how important it must be, and how to do it right. Serious business.
Hope mine get through.

I had the good fortune of attending a reading of this book by the authors, Kira Stevens and Ellen Moore, and they are even more charming and clever in person!

Great Information in an Easy to Read FormatReview Date: 2008-03-17
Christie Matheson goes over a variety of basics in an easy to understand fashion. She explains the differences between incandescent and fluorescent bulbs, why fluorescent is better, and how to manage the switch. She talks about how wasteful plastic bottled water is, why it causes a lot of harm to the environment to buy water in this fashion, and what your options are.
She goes over the small differences you can make in your daily routine that really add up. Cut your shower length by 2 minutes to save 400 pounds of carbon a year. Uncharge your cell phone charger when not in use for another 100 pounds a year. These are things that are better for you anyway - your skin does much better with short showers - but you might not have thought about them before.
Wash your clothes in cold water. The heat really doesn't do anything at all with modern detergents, and if anything it might set a stain rather than let it wash out. Use recycled paper in your paper towels - if everyone in the US did that just once we'd save 1/2 million trees. Eat local foods, to save on the shipping impact of exhaust and gas.
We live in a consumer society. We buy things without thinking about their impact on our world. If each of us just made small changes - buying recycled paper cards, getting "non-thing" gifts for people like massage gift certificates or restaurant gift certificates, turning off lights when we left rooms - the impact could be phenomenal. Christie points these things out in an engaging manner.
Highly recommended! Then donate your copy to your local library, so even more people can learn from the information, and your own house reduces on its clutter!

Proceduralizes Interview TechniquesReview Date: 2000-06-26
I used the book to augment my own "self-grown" interview process recently and with tremendous success.
This book is a "must have" arrow in every manager's quiver; young or old, new or mature. Whether you have "home-grown" an interview technique, had HR force one upon you, or are looking to develop a strategy, this book will help.
The Hiring Process - Will make or break your businessReview Date: 2002-06-01
"You win by building an exceptional work force"Review Date: 2001-04-25
In this context, throughout the book, he presents his 7-Step interview model that can be summarized by one seven-letter word- 'PROCEED.' He argues that "It is an acronym where each letter represents one step of the process. 'PROCEED' is your blueprint to interviewing success. You'll be amazed at the results you achieve when you follow this process, step-by-step"(p.42).
Step 1: Prepare
* Identify existing superior performers
* Create a job description for the position
* Identify the competencies or skills needed to do the job
* Draft interview questions
Step 2: Review
* Review questions for legality and fairness
Step 3: Organize
* Select your interview team and your method of interviewing
* Assign roles to your team and divide the questions
Step 4: Conduct
* Gather data from the job candidate
Step 5: Evaluate
* Determine the match between the candidate and the job
Step 6: Exchange
* Share data in a discussion meeting
Step 7: Decide
* Make the final decision
Finally, he writes that "Even though the material I have included in this book is based on years of research and practical experience, it can always be improved. I encourage you to experiment with the methods and discover what works best for you...The cardinal rule is to 'stay legal' and 'play fair.' The 'best' thing you can do is put someone in a job where their competencies closely match the requirements. The 'worst' thing you can do is the opposite"(p.221).
Highly recommended.
Costly mistake!Review Date: 2002-06-29
This book has thought me the importance of looking at working habits and past actions when hiring people. Maybe you can teach a old dog to sit - but who has the time and money for that!
If you are hiring - buy this book and do it right!

Best book on webcomicsReview Date: 2008-07-10
Love the book!Review Date: 2008-06-10
Well, they might as well have.
Starting from the idea that the reader can already draw enough to make a comic (there is no "How to draw a..." section), they mold the reader into a writer, agent, techie and business person. They pass on all of their secrets in a full confession sharefest that reads like a conversation between the authors (similar to the discussions on their "Webcomics Weekly" Podcast).
The book is full of humor and brilliant ideas. The art comes from each contributor's comics and really adds to the points of the book.
You should buy two books as one will likely fall apart from constant use and you will need the second to give to your children someday. I bought four extra copies and hidden them at the corners of the world, and in my will I have clues to find each copy in an elaborate race to determine who I will leave my entire fortune to.
Essential ReadingReview Date: 2008-05-29
Excellent, though very americanizedReview Date: 2008-05-27
The best authors for books on how to make webcomics are definitely webcomics creators who love what they do. Guigar, Kellett, Kurtz and Straub show an enthusiasm in this book that rubs off, and in a wonderful mix of creative chapters (writing, creating your characters), practical chapters (scanning your comic, making a website) and business-related chapters (making an income out of your webcomic), it becomes very clear that the authors love what they do, and that anyone who loves webcomics may one day compete with them on the webcomics arena. You learn that you have to love webcomics to make one, as they won't give you much income the first couple of years, but you also learn to not feel guilty for monetizing on your work. This is the perfect combination of a "how-to-be-creative"-book and "how-to-sell-your-art"-book.
If there is one thing I hope will change in the second edition, I wish for a more global perspective. The book is great, but many of the points stated in it aren't really that useful for non-Americans. For instance, when I make a webcomic in Norwegian, I will probably never get ten thousand readers. I could write it in English, but that would create problems with a store, since I'm still physically based in Norway and won't be able to send books and T-shirts to USA or UK without charging a lot for sending them -- probably more than my readers want to pay. And if I need to use print-on-demand, there aren't really anyone over here that can offer that, ... and so on, and so on. I hope that a future "How to make webcomics" will be able to have a chapter answering some of the additional questions that rise when creating a webcomic outside the US.
But that is nitpicking, really. This is the epitome of a five-star book.

We finally have a program that reflects the Love and completeness any Christian would expect for the greatest occurrence of all time.
We have allowed the world to take the lead in using technology to reinforce their own ungodly ways, but this program more then meets the challenge of catching up and conveying the Gospel to this techno age. This software is more then worthy of our purchase and it is so reasonably priced for what you receive. Ilumina continues in its own way to stimulate continued study and refreshment in G_d's Word in this so easily distracted society.
From novice to the learned, "Ilumina Gold Premium Software" will place a smile onto the heart of every believer who is seeking G_d's Grace and Wisdom.
