Wonderful Coffee Table book

This book is captivating with outstanding and gorgeous photography showing the supreme artistry of God in creation, to see God's majesty through what He has made. The book has a religious slant, of course (see title), with biblical verses connecting to the photographs. The main sections of the books are Introduction, Elements, Design, Environments,, and Ebb & Flow. It is an excellent Coffee Table book and I highly recommend it for yourself and as a gift to others. I gave it as a gift to an artist friend and he loved it.08423189845122007-09-03

A Praise Trip

We often do praise trips to places of special beauty, where we sing songs of praise and worship to the Creator, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob! <br />We go to the Grand Canyon, one example, but also to the lakes and other canyons in Arizona. I have often been to Oregon and experienced the beauty of the water falls and to Colorado to enjoy the Rocky Mountains. <br />This book is a praise trip for the reader, each page is an experience of worship. How great is our God, who created such magnificent beauty for us to enjoy. How blessed I was to receive this book as a gift and I immediately bought copies for my family. May many enjoy the beauty of God's creation. We are to fill our hearts and minds with praise and this is a wonderful way to start!08423189845122006-11-15

Full of His Glory...

The most visually beautiful book I know of, THE ART OF GOD is in appearance a nature photography book of the most glorious sort, but upon closer look it is so much more. Ergenbright pairs brilliant awe-inspiring photography with artfully presented text and scripture verses that precisely match each photo and combine to make the heart leap, the soul rejoice. Though written in the spirit of worship, whether intended or not, the beauty, range, selection, and presentation of the book end up also being an apologetic making a visual case for a Creator that's both an intelligent and artistic designer. The photos are arranged purposefully, with the story flowing seamlessly thru the categories Elements, Design, Environments, and Ebb & Flow. The adjective "stunning" often's used to mean just really beautiful, but with this book it's beauty really does stun or take a bit of breath away. THE ART OF GOD is wonderful for a gift or to put on one's own coffee table for visitors to enjoy. Truly an aesthetic and spiritual masterpiece (and a bargain too).08423189845672006-05-06

Modern Paradise

Eden may be lost, but Ergenbright's insightful eye for beauty proves that much of paradise is still to be found. Amazingly beautiful nature photographs of every element can be found in this book: skies, bodies of water, cliffs, and even lava flows present the viewer with beauty that only a Supreme God could create. Ergenbright's modest introduction in the beginning of the book and his Biblical passages leave no doubt in regards to his devotion to God as the true artist here, but Ergenbright's own artistic talents certainly cannot be overlooked! I'm a huge lover of beautiful art and Ergenbright's uplifting Christian messages greatly added to the peacefulness of his breathtaking images, luring me into a state of blissful lethargy. This book is truly a wonderful testament of nature's beauty and I recommend it even if you are not a Christian; everyone can appreciate the beauty here, no matter what faith they are. 08423189845452006-04-28

Finding the Sacred in Earth, Wind & Fire

Former agnostic and nature photographer Ric Ergenbright spreads before us a stunning visual feast of God's glory, as reflected in creation. Travel through gorgeous views of air, water, fire, forests, stones, and more. Not just a coffee table book, The Art of God provides a theology of creation as part of a two-fold design (the second part being the story of Christ played out through history). We can even learn about the complexity of creation, as in Ergenbright's discussion of how freshwater rain needs undrinkable seawater to send it on its journey.<B>Value priced! <br>2000 Gold Medallion Award winner!</B> <br>Through stunning nature photography, this attractive gift book captures God's expression of his character in the created world. Ric's award-winning photographic talent is combined with Scripture and devotional thoughts to move both the heart and the mind. Included with the full-color photographs is information about the various locations, natural formations, and elements of the scenes. <P><B>Ric Ergenbright</B>'s photography appears regularly in major magazines, books, and ads. More than 60 calendars of his images have been published, and his work has been the subject of three television shows. He is a winner of the Lowell Thomas Award for outstanding travel photography, and is among the small number of contemporary photographers represented in "Odyssey: The Art of Photography at National Geographic," now touring the world.Renowned landscape photographer Ric Ergenbright here turns his attention to the holiness reflected in the beauty of the natural world. Combining scriptural passages with photographic and scientific observations relating to the elements of nature, Ergenbright uses his dramatic, often astonishing photographs as a testament to the power and perfection of God. Though he recognizes that "if all Scripture were lost, we could still know something of [God's] character by carefully studying the works of his hands," Ergenbright uses the book to emphasize how God's Word can illuminate the world around us. This beautiful coffee-table book is a wonderful addition to any nature-lover's collection, and the detailed notes throughout are an education to any aspiring photographer.158134492908423398411890151521089221507008423408661066General1064History & Criticism1Arts & Photography1000Subjects283155Books10825731Criticism1064History & Criticism1Arts & Photography1000Subjects283155Books197504011Themes1064History & Criticism1Arts & Photography1000Subjects283155Books1873Religious1Arts & Photography1000Subjects283155Books2081Nature & Wildlife2020Photography1Arts & Photography1000Subjects283155Books779552General1Arts & Photography1000Subjects283155Books12815Gifts12809Spirituality22Religion & Spirituality1000Subjects283155Books394181011Hardcover394174011Binding (binding)388186011Refinements283155Books618083011Printed Books618072011Format (feature_browse-bin)388186011Refinements283155BooksR24D73BCD7SZHYReligious ArtR1MK8R4JIT9JMPEnchanted Art: Featuring Magical Beasts, People and Places1ZBORS38MR9A2Great Books, Great Shots3QU5NFL38PONLbeauty is where you find it1FIWNE5R1ZWOMChristian Artists Favorites1933784571http://www.amazon.com/Art-Kung-Fu-Panda/dp/1933784571%3FSubscriptionId%3D05ERXYTS89KFGEPQR5G2%26tag%3Dthebookrevi0b-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3D193378457111187http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51d9AWl2ahL._SL75_.jpg6875http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51d9AWl2ahL._SL160_.jpg146160http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51d9AWl2ahL.jpg456500Tracey Miller-ZarnekeHardcoverJack Black791.437297819337845711001933784571Insight EditionsEnglishEnglishEnglish11304500USD$45.00Insight Editions1191Book2008-05-13Insight Editions2008-05-13Insight Editions34510302969USD$29.692300USD$23.009500USD$95.00414011ATVPDKIKX0DERhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/help/seller/home.html?seller=ATVPDKIKX0DERNewnewj9b83tElCPhKVrnMo%2FHnLhSOFbsXgoYo68pHRnsc1mkWeo0eRmkqS3DcdiSfAkFu9wV3cxj1lGX3nwTyO1EKew%3D%3D2970USD$29.70Usually ships in 1 to 3 weeks5.020419337845714002008-10-10

Chalk Full of Panda art goodness

Great book with great color and powerful art. Lots of art from the movie. well done and well crafted.19337845715002008-08-20

an awesome art book

I admit, that when I first saw the previews for the 3D movie Kung Fu Panda, I was not impressed. In fact, I did not want to see the movie at all. And then I got this book, "The Art of Kung Fu Panda" and my resolve to not see the movie crumbled into nothing. The artwork in this book is amazing, from the fun and creative character designs, to the beautiful layouts and concept paintings. This book made me really excited about seeing the movie, which I did. And the movie, like the book, is great.19337845715002008-08-16

Fantastic "Kungfu Panda"

It's so fantastic to have this artbook! I could enjoy the world of "Kungfu Panda" again. All the detailed and beautiful illustrations, and it's also good to read film making stories. I think it's the best artbook I've ever had:)19337845715002008-08-16

The Wonderful World of Kung Fu Panda

Suberb

When the book arrived I must say I was really amazed with the quality of the good. Firstly, The book format is bigger than I imagined and the number of pages and quality of the print are awesome! No issues at all at this part. <br />And as for the content, is really inspirational. all the landscapes, concepts, designs and so many other things really show how detailed was the entire production of the movie. <br />The only thing I was missing were the images that appear at the ending credits from the movie. But that only shows the uncountable material to be featured in the book. Thumbs up for the whole crew. <br />PLUS, u can get a little poster from the movie :)081186235602405209390811858340187950597519337841564493General4484Movies86Entertainment1000Subjects283155Books194810011Genre Films4484Movies86Entertainment1000Subjects283155Books170107Animation1829Graphic Design336832011Design & Decorative Arts1Arts & Photography1000Subjects283155Books394181011Hardcover394174011Binding (binding)388186011Refinements283155Books618083011Printed Books618072011Format (feature_browse-bin)388186011Refinements283155BooksRXGAYJVDTRO10Movie "art of" seriesR2LJOTRFJ5V1OOAnimation Books for NHSI1UNYX9JYXJT8JThe Ultimate Concept Art & ''Art of'' List1423103181http://www.amazon.com/Art-Pirates-Caribbean-tk/dp/1423103181%3FSubscriptionId%3D05ERXYTS89KFGEPQR5G2%26tag%3Dthebookrevi0b-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3D1423103181185106http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/414VRmTh%2BJL._SL75_.jpg7560http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/414VRmTh%2BJL._SL160_.jpg160127http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/414VRmTh%2BJL.jpg500397tkHardcoverTimothy Shaner741.437597814231031891341423103181Disney EditionsEnglishEnglishEnglish14255000USD$50.00Disney Editions1160Book2007-06-01Disney EditionsAges 9-122007-05-22Disney Editions4191205995USD$9.951337USD$13.375000USD$50.0023111011ATVPDKIKX0DERhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/help/seller/home.html?seller=ATVPDKIKX0DERNewnewY%2FS1lpet0YW3Pxiqvf8vAMuzRQk4RYZkRRqgMdLsSPe2ZKtw9%2BDhzSk5vlRvmbj3tkdo3NsADf8Icc3b1bkpHQ%3D%3D3150USD$31.50Usually ships in 24 hours5.020414231031815002008-08-26

A TRUE GEM!!!

I've never been so satisfied buying a product than when I purchased this book. Being both a Pirates of the Caribbean movies fan and moviemaking artbooks collector, I savor every inch of artwork featured in this book. I love all the artworks depicted here, but my favorite is the Kraken part, as well as most artworks done by Crash McCreery. A superb collection that any of you, movie artphiles, dare not miss.14231031815002008-07-09

Grotesquery on the High Seas

This is a treasure-trove of fantastic (and often quite grotesque!) drawings, paintings, digital artworks, and more from the creative people that made the "Pirates" movies. It's a hefty book and makes for a great conversation piece on the coffee table. 14231031815002008-04-21

YO HO

If you are a fan of the Pirates Movies this is a must have book! The art work in this book is amazing how they show them bringing the characters from conception art work to the big screen. Some truly amazing pictures in this book very vivid like you walked into the film. Love the Book and would highly recommend it.14231031815002008-02-18

Very Pleased Landlubber

This is a fantastic book! I can't say enough about how well this book was put together. It's oversided quite like the "Book of Codes" from the movie with splendid artwork throughout. Needless to say I am quite pleased. If you enjoy great production artwork this volume is for you.14231031815002008-02-15

The Art of Pirates of the Caribbean Hard Cover Book

This Product/ Purchase was very satisfactory. The book came on time as specified at the time of purchase. The descriptions at the time of purchase made the decision to buy this item very easy, as it assured me that this was what I was looking for. There were not only detailed descriptions of what was inside the book, there was also examples of some of the images inside the book, giving a preview of what to expect. The only suggestion/ concern I had with this purchase was that the packaging could have protected the book more than it did, as when it arrived there were a few slight mishaps when the book encountered the sides of the box on a rough delivery. Other than that I am happy with the purchase.<BR><I style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal">The Art of Pirates of the Caribbean</I> presents a definitive, exclusive look into the preparation and production of the successful movie trilogy. Overflowing with hundreds of full-color images, the book showcases concept drawings, set designs, and costume sketches, as well as the intricate props, set pieces, and even special effects that contribute so much to the <I style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal">Pirates</I> mythology. Even the cover is visually arresting-imitating the leather-covered log of a ship's captain.  Also included is special commentary from the unit publicist who was there to see it all. For Pirates fans everywhere, this treasure chest of art and design from the entire movie trilogy is a visual feast that promises hours of endless browsing pleasure.<BR>B0014JQ72608118583400756626765B0014JUHB808118623562904Film2894Performing Arts2870Arts & Music4Children's Books1000Subjects283155Books3011Popular Culture2966Literature4Children's Books1000Subjects283155Books16254411General2966Literature4Children's Books1000Subjects283155Books4493General4484Movies86Entertainment1000Subjects283155Books301149General4134Graphic Design5Computers & Internet1000Subjects283155Books491552Film & Television684277011Performing Arts468206Humanities465600New & Used Textbooks251254011Custom Stores44258011Specialty Stores283155Books712992011General AAS684277011Performing Arts468206Humanities465600New & Used Textbooks251254011Custom Stores44258011Specialty Stores283155Books712982011General AAS465600New & Used Textbooks251254011Custom Stores44258011Specialty Stores283155Books713014011General AAS319654011Qualifying Textbooks251254011Custom Stores44258011Specialty Stores283155Books394181011Hardcover394174011Binding (binding)388186011Refinements283155Books618083011Printed Books618072011Format (feature_browse-bin)388186011Refinements283155BooksRXGAYJVDTRO10Movie "art of" seriesR1VV8YON7CCX61Art Books in My Class LibraryR16ATM8QE45SYRGo Out on a Blank with Some Pirate BooksR188MI0517A1Y7Best Conceptual Art BooksR2N8PKBO9Q57V8The Pirates of the Caribbean Trilogy and Beyond2Y60EENKKM91EATTENTION ANIMATORS/ILLUSTRATORS!1UNYX9JYXJT8JThe Ultimate Concept Art & ''Art of'' List0966361067http://www.amazon.com/Be-Survivor-Breast-Cancer-Treatment/dp/0966361067%3FSubscriptionId%3D05ERXYTS89KFGEPQR5G2%26tag%3Dthebookrevi0b-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3D0966361067135187http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31d--VtpwmL._SL75_.jpg7562http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31d--VtpwmL._SL160_.jpg160132http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31d--VtpwmL.jpg180148M.D. Vladimir LangePaperback616.994499780966361063500966361067Lange ProductionsEnglishEnglishEnglish9002495USD$24.95Lange Productions1192Book2007-06-01Lange ProductionsLange Productions1107601561USD$15.61607USD$6.0720170011ATVPDKIKX0DERhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/help/seller/home.html?seller=ATVPDKIKX0DERNewnew8OBK5IkEsddCSdOneode5wD2X5k3pg8VQa14XsAKywi0u2Qv9OLfcsJ0vo15XBxvsuFOl7sD03uJQauFk9GUFQ%3D%3D1647USD$16.47Usually ships in 7 to 11 days5.020409663610671002008-05-14

Be a Survivor Your Guide to Breast Cancer Treatment

This is a fantastic book for the newly-diagnosed breast cancer patient. It was given to my by my surgeon's office. It does a great job explaining things on a level that the average person can understand. It also has great diagrams, lists of questions to ask your medical team, glossary of terms, websites to check out and comments from breast cancer survivors and/or significant others of survivors. I highly recommend this book.09663610675112007-11-19

The Best Book About Breast Cancer

We give this book to surgeons in our area to distribute to women diagnosed with breast cancer. Before purchasing it, we had a group of 4 breast cancer survivors review and rate 3 separate books on breast cancer. This book "won" hands down, based on numerous criteria -- everything from its explanation of breast cancer treatments, to its index and glossary, to its discussion of life after cancer. It is clear and easy to read, provides comprehensive information on types of breast cancer and corresponding treatment alternatives, has wonderful graphics and photos, and provides interesting anecdotal stories of actual patients in its sidebar. Highly recommended!09663610675112007-08-06

Excellent source of information

I was introduced to this book at work and am now giving it to women newly diagnosed with breast cancer. I am on oncology certified nurse in the radiation oncology department of my cancer center. In January 2007 I also became our Breast Cancer Patient Navigator. I find this book gets excellent reviews from patients and their families alike. It is a great source of information, covering all the topics from diagnosis to living life 'after cancer'. I only wish I would have had this book when I was on my personal breast cancer journey! I highly recommend this book for someone newly diagnosed with breast cancer. 09663610675452006-06-11

New Treatments in an Environment of Understanding

"Many experts believe that Herceptin represents the future direction of breast cancer drugs, because it targets a particular protein on the cancer cell, rather than attacking all cells at random. As research progresses, scientist hope to make all anti-cancer drugs as specific as possible." ~ pg. 97 <br /> <br />Designed to compliment the book, the DVD provides an environment of understanding with explanations for all the procedures and various situations that will occur after a diagnosis. New treatments like Immunotherapy are discussed and there is an extensive resource section with additional CD options, including a CD-ROM program that is an interactive guide to treatment. <br /> <br />Helpful up-to-date information about why you may not need a mastectomy and only a lumpectomy is encouraging and gives hope. Radiation and Chemo is also discussed in detail. Throughout both the DVD and book, women tell their stories and that gives a sense of the range of experience. There are over 150 color photographs and graphics to illustrate important points. <br /> <br />A variety of questions are given in each section so you know what to ask your doctor. The stages of breast cancer are given so you know exactly what your doctor is talking about. The main sections include: <br /> <br />Facing Breast Cancer - Your feelings, support groups, healthcare teams and overview of treatment options. <br /> <br />Breast Cancer Basics - Types of Breast Cancer <br /> <br />Diagnosis and Staging - Tumor Testing, the Pathology Report, Additional Tests, How Stage is Determined <br /> <br />Surgery - Reconstruction, Lumpectomy and Mastectomy options, Lymph Nodes <br /> <br />Reconstruction - Choosing a Plastic Surgeon, External and Internal Options <br /> <br />Radiation Therapy - How treatment is given, Brachytherapy <br /> <br />Chemotherapy - Side Effects, Common Chemotherapy Drugs <br /> <br />Hormone Therapy - How Treatment is Given, Who should be Treated, Side Effects <br /> <br />Immunotherapy - Future Therapies and Herceptin <br /> <br />Clinical Trials - Participation Ideas and getting the newest treatments... <br /> <br />Life after Cancer - Emotional Recovery, Physical Recovery <br /> <br />The Guide for Your Partner is a special section your partner can read. If possible, watching the DVD together would be ideal because it explains all the basics in the book. <br /> <br />Be a Survivor is an excellent resource because it gives you all the questions you need to ask and answers a number of pertinent questions any woman will be asking the moment she is diagnosed. <br /> <br />Vladimir Lange, MD is one of the most respected doctors in this field of study and this book came into being after his own wife was diagnosed with breast cancer. <br /> <br />~The Rebecca Review <br /> <br />I can also recommend "Reconstructing Natalie" by Laura Jensen Walker. Be a Survivor is like taking Cancer 101. The chapters are modeled after the path most women follow: diagnosis and staging, surgery and reconstruction, treatment and recovery. The chapters are easy to read and understand and include diagrams and photographs to help clarify complicated topics. 28 experts in the field helped create this comprehensive guide.B000SZVCHCB0006SHMV60801886856B000E1KPUKB0012FBAB04673Breast Cancer171141Cancer4656Disorders & Diseases10Health, Mind & Body1000Subjects283155Books465674General171141Cancer4656Disorders & Diseases10Health, Mind & Body1000Subjects283155Books4674General4672Women's Health282800Personal Health10Health, Mind & Body1000Subjects283155Books298657General10Health, Mind & Body1000Subjects283155Books400272011Paperback394184011Mass Market401237011Trade394174011Binding (binding)388186011Refinements283155Books618083011Printed Books618072011Format (feature_browse-bin)388186011Refinements283155BooksR2WTMO0ID99NV6My Breast Cancer JourneyB0006WPMS2http://www.amazon.com/Birth-without-violence-Fre%C3%8C%C2%81de%C3%8C%C2%81rick-Leboyer/dp/B0006WPMS2%3FSubscriptionId%3D05ERXYTS89KFGEPQR5G2%26tag%3Dthebookrevi0b-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3DB0006WPMS2Frédérick LeboyerUnknown BindingKnopf : distributed by Random HouseEnglishEnglishKnopf : distributed by Random House114Book1976Knopf : distributed by Random HouseKnopf : distributed by Random House0000005.0204B0006WPMS25002008-08-27

Real Birthing for Peaceful People

Back in the '70's when I was still delivering babies, before epidurals replaced empowered birthing, this was, and still is, the best set of directions for welcoming a baby into planet earth's atmosphere. <br /> <br />An unanticipated plus for me, was seeing the fathers connect with their new babies floating in body temperature water, while mom got tidied up. <br /> <br />Alot of these father's were carrying their newborns into the office for follow up the next days and weeks, too. Quite an approach, and I sent this book to friends expecting this summer. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.B0006WPMS25112008-03-26

Birth Without Violence

Although I first read this book 30 years ago, its message is still as vital today. I highly recommend it to all expectant parents as well as those medical and mental health practitioners interested in a simple way to bring more peaceful and less traumatized children into the world. As a soon-to-be grandparent, Birth Without Violence topped the list of "must-haves" for my daughter.B0006WPMS25112007-08-13

This is such a calm and loving book to read. Seriously. I think all pregnant women should be given a copy. Simply lovely! <br /> <br />Heather mama of 5B0006WPMS25222007-06-13

Extraordinary book- a must to read! From A. de Salverte not by Joy

This is the best book I have read on all the 20 or more pregnancy books I have read recently ! It is a masterpiece! This French man brought to the world an amazing, most touching, revolutionary way to honor the sacredness of childbirth. This book has brought to me reverence for the baby's needs, and has hlep me understand the importance to create a sacred space for the baby and the mother. <br /> <br />Thank you Frederick LeBoyer for your incredible contribution to this world! <br /> <br /> B0006WPMS24452005-11-13

Good, but get the original...

There is no doubt that to call this book "revolutionary" is but an understatement, but the new translation doesn't quite capture the full effect of the original. This "revised" edition can be said to be a "re-translation" rather than a "revision."The classic guide to gentle birth that revolutionized the way we welcome our children into the world. <p /><p><br />• The first book to express what mothers have always known: babies are born complete human beings with the ability to experience a full range of emotions. </p><p><br />• Shows how gentle lighting, a quiet atmosphere, and a warm bath allow a newborn to ease the transition from womb to world without trauma or fear. </p><p><br />• New translation overseen by the author himself; also includes a new author preface. </p><p><br /><i>Birth without Violence</i> revolutionized the way we perceive the process of birth, urging us to consider birth from the infant's point of view. Why must a child emerge from the quiet darkness of the womb into a blaze of blinding light and loud voices? Why must an infant take its first breath in terror, hanging upside down as its vulnerable spine is jerked straight? Why must the infant be separated from its mother after spending nine months inside her nourishing body? <br />Examining alternatives to technocentric approaches to childbirth, this classic text shows us how we can create an environment of tranquillity in which to welcome our children: a relaxed mother, gentle lighting, soothing atmosphere, and a warm bath that mirrors the child's prenatal surroundings. Dr. Leboyer's simple techniques show us how a birth without violence has far-reaching implications for improving the quality of human life physically, emotionally, and spiritually. </p>155704314005533811560965987302157067104404405056581000Subjects1Arts & Photography2Biographies & Memoirs3Business & Investing4Children's Books4366Comics & Graphic Novels5Computers & Internet6Cooking, Food & Wine86Entertainment301889Gay & Lesbian10Health, Mind & Body9History48Home & Garden10777Law17Literature & Fiction13996Medicine18Mystery & Thrillers53Nonfiction290060Outdoors & Nature20Parenting & Families173507Professional & Technical21Reference22Religion & Spirituality23Romance75Science25Science Fiction & Fantasy26Sports28Teens27Travel283155Books1590526554http://www.amazon.com/Bridge-Called-Hope-Stories-Triumph/dp/1590526554%3FSubscriptionId%3D05ERXYTS89KFGEPQR5G2%26tag%3Dthebookrevi0b-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3D159052655413419http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51C868N5HPL._SL75_.jpg7547http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51C868N5HPL._SL160_.jpg160100http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51C868N5HPL.jpg500313Kim MeederPaperback362.74859781590526552701590526554Multnomah BooksEnglishEnglishEnglish8201399USD$13.99Multnomah Books1256Book2006-09-15Multnomah Books2006-09-15Multnomah Books50520480USD$4.80372USD$3.721399USD$13.9940161011ATVPDKIKX0DERhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/help/seller/home.html?seller=ATVPDKIKX0DERNewnewSDtpxXz55B24dP08g3Xr%2FcJUq2rsTOCYmOY3Gi22JZg5e%2FvcuDyygL51xjtKqFqpq%2FpksFD%2BIfVBQ8ir8%2BEIDgJsWZ%2FWDDBz1119USD$11.19Usually ships in 24 hours5.020415905265545002008-05-20

Inspiring

Bridge Called hope was a great read, filled with inspiring, uplifting and triumphant stories that really help define the important things in life, that we should all be striving for. The emergance of Hope..15905265545002008-04-24

Great Author

Kim Meeder is a great person. I've met her while attending a women's retreat here in Oregon. I have both books signed and she was giving them away. Both her husband and her have big hearts. They have a great ranch in Bend, OR. I have never been there, but I do plan on visiting with them, they only live 100 miles away. My horse will be 26 this year, and she's doing fine, but I've told Kim that when it's time to retire her, that she gets her. She's not a kids horse yet. But she loves attention. <br /> <br />I believe God has a purpose for us all. And to know that I met Kim, it's the greatest thing of all, and to get two of her books. She is a great down to earth person. Normal like the rest of us, lol. 15905265545112008-04-13

Amazing and Wonderful books!

Both Kim Meeder's books are wonderful...miraclous in fact! I bought them both and it's probably the best books I have ever purchased!Names of the books are: Hope Rising and Bridge Called Hope. Would recommend them to anyone an d everyone!15905265545002008-03-21

The Voice of Healing

One of the most touching, and powerful books I have ever read. I tend to be drawn to true life stories, especially with a Christian or inspirational message. This book had both. <br /> <br />Even for someone who doesn't love horses, this book is an amazing read, but if you know or love horses, you will understand the power that these beautiful creatures possess. <br /> <br />Kim Meeder presents the real life stories that will touch your heart and soul in ways you might not have realized. I would read every book that she writes, because of her beautiful writing style and her amazing gift and telling a story with a message. <br /> <br />Anyone who enjoys watching someone who is undergoing trials and tribulations, turn their life around and conquer internal battles of pain and anguish, will absolutely love this book.15905265545002008-03-03

Awesome Horse Interactions

This collection of stories about how horses and humans can interact will touch the most hard-hearted among us. Not only do the stories relate the astounding human/ horse miracles that can take place, they also follow the author's walk of faith, doing the very things God has called her to do, putting everything on the line at times. For anyone who loves horses, or even those who don't, this book will inspire readers to look differently at animals in general and wonder what further things they can tell us. Reverence for all life should follow. Highly recommended.<b>Cross Over Troubled Waters</b> <br><br>Hope is like the stars—always there, yet shining brightest in the blackest of nights. It is like the dawn, always rising anew. Hope is for everyone, and that includes you. This collection of more than twenty true stories from a ranch of rescued dreams unveils the heart of true strength and the character of genuine courage. Experience for yourself the kind of love and hope that change a person from the inside out. Because sometimes, just believing in someone is enough for them to start believing in themselves. It’s the galvanizing truth that no matter how deep your pain…God’s love exceeds it still. <br><br><b>Sometimes, just believing in someone </b> <br><br><b>is enough for them to start </b> <br><br><b>believing in themselves…</b> <br><br> <br><br><i>Without raising his eyes to look at me, in a voice barely clearing the horizon of a whisper, he said,</i> “I know you don’t love me… You just say that ’cuz you’re an adult and it’s kinda like your job. But I know you don’t <i>really</i> love me.” <br><br><i>Suffering and blessing balance on the same high wire, each giving stability and depth to the other. The one that we feel the most…is ultimately the one that we give the most. </i> <br><br><i>It was her eyes that gave her away. The conflict of her mortal illness versus her will raged behind them.

And her book proves that hope is not only for us to keep…but to give. <br><br>“Stirring, encouraging, and inspirational, <i>Bridge Called Hope</i> reminds us that hope is heaven sent for everyone, and that we, too, can make a positive difference in others’ lives." <br><br>Eric Close <br><br>Actor <br><br> <br><br>“Kim Meeder vibrantly shares—and lives—an amazing story of hope and restoration.

We cannot control our circumstances, but we <i>can</i> control how we choose to feel about them. The pain that we feel in this life is certain. What is equally certain is how we choose to feel about the pain. It can destroy us—or it can define us.

Catholic for a Reason: Scripture and the Mystery

Book in Great condition (new), cheap. Shiped promptly. I will definitively buy again from this seller.09663223045782007-03-19

Much needed

Today the number of Catholics that do no go to mass, or do not have a clear idea why go to mass at all, is immense. Catholic for a reason is an excellent tool in helping those Catholics to come to know and love the Faith they received at baptism. Great book!09663223045672006-12-15

Opened my eyes to things I never saw in the Bible

If you want to take a leap in your faith, this is the book for you. The depth of the book is fantastic and should be read over and over for it to sink in. I am buying 5 more copies to give to my closes friends...and I have never done that before. Need I say more. 0966322304412132006-08-31

Quite Reasonable

Scott Hahn is without question the most popular and important Catholic apologist in today's world. Not only is he an incredibly gifted author but he is also a very dynamic speaker as well. His efforts have not only helped many of the Catholic faithful to better understand our faith but he has also been instrumental in the conversion process for many new Catholics. He himself was a Protestant minister until he began to examine scripture more closely and found a home in the Catholic Church. <br /> <br />Most of Dr. Hahn's books are the exclusive work of his brilliant mind and I have yet to read one that didn't teach me many things and help me understand better the things that I thought that I knew. In somewhat of a departure however the good doctor only writes one chapter and serves as co-editor of the rest of the essays that make up this book. Surprisingly, Dr. Hahn's chapter is not the best one to be found within this collection but among such other fine works that is nothing to be ashamed of. Among the best chapters are those by Curtis Martin, Kris Gray, Timothy Gray and Kimberly Hahn all of whom shine in a sky full of stars. <br /> <br />The basic theme for this collection of essays is the Church as the family of God (familia Dei) and each and every chapter deals with some aspect of this reality. From chapters on Our Lady's role as our mother, Divine sonship, the Church as the bride of Christ and the reality of Purgatory to the use of the term Father when addressing a Priest this book covers many interesting facets of our Catholic family. Best of all everything is explained in an easy to read and understand method with the authors not assuming that we are all as well educated in the Faith as they are. <br /> <br />There are a few negative aspects of this book however that deserve some attention. In any collection of essays some will be better than others and that is certainly the case here. None of the essays are bad, or even average for that matter but some of them are just a bit dry in places. Another problem is that some of the authors tend to use way too many quotes, one of which is so long that it takes up an entire page. Some quotations are reasonable and necessary but some of these authors push the limits a little too far. One other point that registers as both a negative and a positive is the somewhat repetitive nature of some essays. It is excellent that the main them is discussed time and again and that the subject is never far from the surface but too often I found myself thinking that I must have lost my place because I had read the same exact thing just minutes ago. I don't know how this could have been avoided but it was sometimes disconcerting. <br /> <br />There is much to know about the Catholic Faith and despite some minor flaws Dr. Hahn and company have done a marvelous job of explaining some of the very basics of Church teaching. They are not mean spirited or pompous as they explain to us less educated Catholics some things that we really should have known already. This book can justifiably be touted as another winner in the Hahn collection.0966322304510102006-08-22

The big picture

I highly recommend this to people considering converting to the Catholic faith or those who are new in it. I would even suggest it to "cradle Catholics" like myself because we all need a refresher on what our faith really is. The conglomeration of different authors is a brilliant idea because it gives the reader different perspectives. The authors are connected to the Franciscan University at Steubenville, which some priests have told me is the best Catholic university in the country. This book is heavily based on the Scriptures and very enlightening. It gives the big picture that we are God's family and He loves us. Catholic for a Reason III explains the Sacrifice of the Mass in light of Scripture and Church teaching—a timely topic, since October 2004 begins a special Year of the Eucharist, declared by Pope John Paul II. Popular Catholic authors, including Scott and Kimberly Hahn, Jeff Cavins, and Tim Gray lend unique insight into topics like the "The Mass and the Synoptic Gospels, "The Eucharist in the Apostolic Church," and "The Mass and Evangelization."0385509359089870478219310182350385496591193101844812244General12242Theology172810Reference12290Christianity22Religion & Spirituality1000Subjects283155Books12295General12292Catholicism12290Christianity22Religion & Spirituality1000Subjects283155Books12455Catholic12449Theology12290Christianity22Religion & Spirituality1000Subjects283155Books12458General12449Theology12290Christianity22Religion & Spirituality1000Subjects283155Books172811Apologetics12449Theology12290Christianity22Religion & Spirituality1000Subjects283155Books12504General22Religion & Spirituality1000Subjects283155Books16009871General16009861Theology12779Religious Studies22Religion & Spirituality1000Subjects283155Books400272011Paperback394184011Mass Market401237011Trade394174011Binding (binding)388186011Refinements283155Books618083011Printed Books618072011Format (feature_browse-bin)388186011Refinements283155BooksRCN5NGYKJ6WJVPaladins: Living Fidelity to Christ & His ChurchRSVGEZR0JHHFJRead These Books & Embolden Your Catholic Faith!R2PAFCYUYD4KKGScott's Catholic CornerR11M557A6AF70DMy Favorite Books on Catholic Spirituality and FaithR2LTAO99YTMM08Dr Scott Hahn Scripture StudyR2OK4VHVDZPJ2JMary & the Communion of SaintsR2A2S28J2X0ACYEucharist, Liturgy, & Sacraments for Protestant inquirersR14R0CBUGWSDN1Protestant intro to Catholicism2BDVF4GC6YOXOScott Hahn Books (in chronological order)12O00R08TANGCCatholic apologetic0131411152http://www.amazon.com/CIO-Wisdom-Practices-Enterprise-Computing/dp/0131411152%3FSubscriptionId%3D05ERXYTS89KFGEPQR5G2%26tag%3Dthebookrevi0b-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3D0131411152326732http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/519MQP4EY2L._SL75_.jpg7553http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/519MQP4EY2L._SL160_.jpg160114http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/519MQP4EY2L.jpg500356Dean LaneWith Members of the CIO Community of Practiceand Change Technology Solutions Inc.Hardcover658.403897801314111591020131411152Prentice Hall PTREnglishEnglishEnglish9294999USD$49.99Prentice Hall PTR1448Book2003-08-04Prentice Hall PTRPrentice Hall PTR0760920236301817092850USD$28.502500USD$25.001770011ATVPDKIKX0DERhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/help/seller/home.html?seller=ATVPDKIKX0DERNewnewz0txB6EOaB5Zay2%2BbyXp%2B%2Fcy4D%2B2Ze3tRKWlYCh3ZCLCfbGWFuGng5CB6mAh%2FnxJgfqwTQCA6PmcQZCXkp%2BbCw%3D%3D4183USD$41.83Usually ships in 24 hours5.020401314111524002008-04-03

Great reference slightly marred by poor production

As someone who frequently works with CIOs, I found this book to be excellent. One can read it cover to cover, or easily pick a topic and read the appropriate chapter. Since each chapter is essentially a standalone work produced by a CIO it is easy to flip to a particular issue, and gain insight. <br /> <br />Topics range from some of the more mundane, technical aspects of the CIO position, and further the old "business vs. tech" stereotypes, but other chapters such as "The First 90 Days" and the more strategy-oriented chapters are quite good. <br /> <br />Aside from the relatively minor "'the business' is evil" stuff, the book is marred by poor production. There are several spelling and grammatical errors, and the graphics are inconsistent and some of poor quality. The great content is mildly hindered by what appears to be poor editing and a rush job by the publisher. <br /> <br />Patrick Gray, author of Breakthrough IT: Supercharging Organizational Value Through Technology01314111524002007-11-18

Variety of personal insights from people who really do the job

I only got to read a few chapters before someone else in the office wanted to read the book. But I can say that the introduction, both generally about the CIO job, and the brief overview of each CIO who contributed, was very good. And the chapters from the different CIOs are valuable for the varied individual perspectives. <br /> <br />If you're not in IT management, probably not a very exciting book. But if you are, it gives you guidance from the varied real experiences of a lot of CIOs--people that you probably wouldn't hear from any other way.01314111525662004-08-25

CIO Reference Manual

As a CIO I though CIO Wisdom hits the nail on the head on many of the challenges and issues facing today's CIO's. Sound and practical advice from those actually performing in the job was quite refreshing to the theoretical approach found in many other books on this topic. I only wish that many of my customers (business line leaders and executives) would read this book to better understand the value of IT can bring to our organization. <br /> <br />My only critique is that some of the concepts discussed in the book where not fully flushed out when the author was talking about solutions. Of course there have been entire books written on some of the topics covered in CIO wisdom. <br /> <br />I was particularly impressed by the Communications, Governance, Marketing and the Business Intelligence chapters.0131411152515152004-06-21

Superb compilation of knowledge & experience

The seventeen articles in this compendium represents contemporary and topical subjects, each written by a seasoned CIO. I was as impressed with the selection of articles as I was with the content because each topic is foremost on the minds of CIOs and senior IT managers today.<p>Among the articles I especially like are:<p>- The First 90 Days, by Mark Egan, which contains actionable plans that will get the new CIO (or other senior IT executive) quickly moving in the right direction.<p>- IT Organization, by Guy de Meester, in particular the challenges of centralization vs. decentraliztion, and organizational models in general. If this area is your focus I highly recommend additional reading: "Decentralization: Fantasies, Failings, and Fundamentals" (ISBN 0964163535) and "RoadMap: How to understand, diagnose, and fix your organization" (ISBN 0964163527), both of which go into great detail and provide an exceptionally effective approach.<p>- Governance, by Danny Maco, which is conspicuously missing in organizations large and small - or is often done incorrectly if done at all. <p>- Budgeting, by Bob Denis, Maureen Vavra, John Dick ... you'd think IT has this basic function under control, but sadly not. Read this article for excellent advice.<p>- The Metrics of IT: Management by Measurement, by Shel Waggener and Steve Zoppi. One of my favorite topics, and this team provides outstanding advice and keen insights.<p>Other articles are as well written, and span topics from architecture to strategic planning. Taken as a whole, this is a sourcebook that is filled with both knowledge and experience, and should be on the desk of every CIO, seasoned and new. I also recommend visiting the site that supports this book (paste the ASIN number, B0001EHNFK, into the search box for all products on this page). The site contains additional articles, news and other books in this series that CIOs, IT managers at all levels, and subject matter experts will find useful.01314111525552004-03-06

CIO Wisdom, Indeed !!

Truly, this is 'CIO Wisdom' - set down by CIOs and IT managers who deal day-to-day with information technology in perhaps the most challenging environment - Silicon Valley itself. As a 42-year veteran of the IT industry, I think this is the first time I've seen so much down-to-earth, practical and useful IT guidance in one place. The chapters are clearly and well-written. The authors get right down to the meat of the subject and provide practical suggestions for improving IT delivery. <p>If the book has a weakness, it is that there is so much specific information here that it will likely take multiple readings to glean all of it.<p>I think this book should be required reading for all CIOs ... and if you really want to start something, get a copy for everyone on your IT staff!The collected wisdom of Silicon Valley's leading IT experts that concisely addresses the most pressing issues facing IT professionals today. <P>Focuses on the business drivers that impact the IT function! <BR>Explains the top ten measurements that are critical to IT success! <BR>Shows how to set priorities when infrastructure costs are rising and resources are limited! <P>This is the practical survival guide for every CIO and IT manager who is fighting the battle to do more with less. Covers everything from budgeting and measuring, to planning, sourcing, and architecture.

Great Ideas

I bought this book for a doctoral level class I am taking. It is outstanding! The information in it is practical in the classroom and simply makes sense. I highly recommend it.14176275145002008-08-05

Great resource with usable ideas

This is a great overview of literacy instruction for any elementary classroom. The book is reader friendly and offers many different ideas that could be applied to the classroom the next day. Many primary ideas could easily be adapted for intermediate, however, overall the authors did a great job of presenting ideas that were usable in every grade! The vocabulary, reading, and writing lessons/activities are fun for students while continuing to challenge and develop their thinking. The practical nature of the book is ideal for any teacher!14176275145002008-01-18

Such a Beautiful Book

I was given the postcards book as a gift and had to have this book. Full of color pictures. If you love cats or photography with great color and contrast, this is a wonderful book.081182909X5002007-01-11

If you like to look at kitties....

If you like to look at kitties, this is a no-brainer. It's a beautiful book. One of its charms is that it's a quiet, calming book. It brings the viewer into the world of these cats...and causes me to ask (not being on a sunny island) how can I bring such solitary basking moments into my life? how can I peacefully share space with others? can I find a warm, sunny, basking place within myself and the space I inhabit? <br /> <br />We often hear the expression "Lucky Dog". This book is "Lucky Cat".081182909X5222006-09-27

.. beautiful cat and scenery...

I purchased it to gift to my niece for her 15th birthday. She has mania for cats and many books related with feline. This book is better than the others she had because the beauty of the scenery is in harmony with cat feature. She was suffused with delight when received this gift. <br />It seems that every photograph has mood and story so that is create imagination of beautiful world. If you take a look the picture of this book then you will cannot help but like cats. I strongly recommend people interested in feline to purchase this book. <br />081182909X5112006-09-19

Great present for cat lovers!

I bought this fabulous coffee table book for my boyfriend's birthday last month, and we both think it is fantastic. The pictures are so luscious and colorful--now I can't wait to visit the Greek Isles and see some of these amazing cats. 081182909X5662005-09-07

The Best Present for a Cat Lover!

I was given this book as a present two months after my own kitty was put down. This is the most wonderful book on cats I've ever seen. It shows quite clearly how different their personalities are and seems to capture the essence of a cat's soul! These beautiful creatures will make you laugh because their personalities just shine through the pages of this wonderfully large coffee table book. <br /> <br />Just like cats, they don't need to say anything. There are no quotes within the book, just large beautifully artistic photographs with curious cats smiling, stretching, and being frisky. There is a touching introduction to these critters in the beginning, but then just sit back and make friends with these 400 cats!"The finest pictures ever taken of cats," says <I>The Atlantic Monthly</I> of Hans Sil
