HOME EDUCATORS: If you are trying to put together a history-based curriculum, this volume is very helpful! You can gauge which time periods in your student's course of study need some bolstering up (or livening up) and search in this book for the proper Henty novel to introduce. For example, to bulk up our study on "Ancient Times," I needed a novel about Hannibal. This terrific reference book tells me to get Henty's "The Young Carthaginian" to meet that requirement.

Another problem it solves is that sometimes a history-based curriculum can get predictable. Everyone seems to be covering the same things and the only variance is how deeply they're studied. This guide covers all of Henty's books and makes it easy to locate his books on obscure subjects and events which you can tantalize your children with. Children seem to love citing these forgotten tales and bedazzling their peers and family with them!

This volume will also prove invaluable to PEOPLE EDUCATING THEMSELVES. As an adult who is battling her "learning gaps," I just page through this reference until I find something that doesn't ring ANY bells! By reading a Henty, I enjoy a terrific adventure (which I can later discuss with my children), educate myself and, if I want to, pursue the subject more deeply later on.

When you open this book you will see: one book title and an introduction, per page. It's good if you want to sample a complete list of Henty books.

This is a great book for any Henty collector or inquirer. The book gives a brief synopsis of many of Henty's works in chronological order. I find it invaulable in picking the next book I want to buy and read. Henty is a great author for home educators, history buffs, and action adventure readers. The books contain excellent morals and are historically accurate.

G.A. Henty wrote arround 144 books. Many of the books revolve around a fictional character who interacts with real persons from that historical period. Heroism, honor, courage, and leadership are integral characteristics of the main protagonists. I have trouble putting down a Henty story. I highly recommend this resource.

This Book has the most information that I can find on G.A. Henty!

Very well done, great insights, author has a minimal amount of church experience but brings a wealth of wisdom and practical, applicable steps for creating clarity. Worth the price.

"Vision, mission, values, strategy"--terms that most church leaders are familiar with. Many churches have written statements to cover these important elements of ministry, but most of us struggle with putting them together for effective and God-honoring ministry.

Will Mancini has done the Church a great service in "Church Unique" to not only demonstrate the importance of each of these elements, but also how you can frame these pieces together to discover how God has created each church to serve in our local and global contexts. While I've read most of the popular books on church leadership and have understood the importance of these various pieces in leading a ministry, Will has helped me to bring them together into a vision framework that makes sense for us. While recognizing the value that WCA, Saddleback and others bring to the discussion, Will ably makes the case that God has a unique vision for your ministry--that may or may not look like the last big (or small) church seminar you attended.

As soon as I read this book, I bought one for each of our elders. The descriptions, process and exercises have been extremely helpful as we have been together, re-discovering God's vision for our next steps in ministry. It's given a framework that makes sense--giving us the confidence that God has a vision for us. While we have much to learn from Warren, Hybels, Stanley and others, Church Unique shows how we can create a vision frame that allows us to know what does and doesn't best fit us and God's vision for our church.

The final section of the book on advancing the vision is a practical tool, which I know we will be referring to regularly. Will gives practical insights in not only how we articulate and deliver the vision, but also what is often the missing piece--how we integrate the vision into our everyday ministry and mission.

If you are trying to get your staff and your church leaders onto the same page or are yourself wrestling with what God's unique movement is for your church and ministry, I would highly recommend "Church Unique" as tool in your journey.

If you are trying to lead your church to effectiveness and impact, Church Unique: How Missional Leaders Cast Vision, Capture Culture, and Create Movement (J-B Leadership Network Series) by Will Mancini is a "must-have" resource! Like very few books of its kind, this one is not only packed with ideas, it is presented in a clear and purposeful manner with implementation in mind.

Based on Mancini's work with Auxano, Church Unique provides a carefully executed, step-by-step walk through the concepts and practices that build a "vision frame." Discovering and articulating a compelling vision is at the heart, but developing the missional mandate (mission), motives (values), map (strategy) and marks (measures) are what provide the frame. Each step in the process is presented in a way that begs to be implemented.

If you long for clarity and a laser focus, this is a book you will devour, mark up, and wear out. I'm frequently asked what's the best thing I'm reading. Church Unique is a book I'll be talking about for a long time.

I have been fortunate enough as a Pastor to go through the Vision To Grow process outlined in
Church Unique in the past two churches I have served. In both, the process and results have been arguably the most significant thing I've done as a Pastor. The process outlined in Church Unique helps to articulate the UNIQUE context of your local church, not just slapping on the model heard at a conference or adopted by a mega-church.

Church Leader/Pastor Friend, this is the resource you've been searching for. You can not put a price on the clarity, focus and ensuing movement you will help facilitate through this process explained in Church Unique.

This book reads like a cross between text book visioneering, story telling narrative (i.e. Patrick Lencioni's work) and inspiring coaching.

No brainer. Get this book.

It's rare to visit a church, read its mission statement and then conclude, "What a great match!" For that to happen, the church's vision must be clear, appealing, and most important, truly reflective of the unique culture demonstrated by the church.

Back in 1992, when churches were just beginning to think about vision statements, George Barna wrote a highly popular book called Power of Vision. In it he defined vision as "a clear mental image of a preferable future imparted by God."

I predict Will Mancini's Church Unique (2008, 271 pages) will succeed Barna's classic as the go-to book for church leadership discussions because it does even more than help you articulate a vision for your church. It goes further. It helps you "cast vision, capture culture, and create movement," as the subtitle forecasts. The book affirms that your church is "stunningly unique," and then helps you turn your church's one-of-a-kind potential into a model of ministry that leads to a redemptive movement. It understand that each church models a culture reflective of its particular values, thoughts, attitudes and actions. Using numerous specific-church examples, it walks you through the process of vision focus and alignment within the context of your church's unique culture.

Mancini, a former pastor and now church consultant, also explores pitfalls that often trap churches, such as adopting the latest conference technique or following a Band-aid approach to addressing deep-set issues.

CHURCH UNIQUE will benefit any type of church leader, whether megachurch or church plant, mainline or non-denominational.

The book is release #25 in Leadership Network's series with Jossey-Bass. It references in several places another excellent Leadership Network book -- Culture Shift: Transforming Your Church from the Inside Out (J-B Leadership Network Series)by Robert Lewis and Wayne Cordeiro with Warren Bird (Jossey-Bass, 2005).

Warren Bird, Ph.D., is Research Director at Leadership Network, and co-author of 19 books on various aspects of church health and innovation.

The general reader and the scholar should enjoy this book. Holmes does set Coleridge talking.

Don't miss Owen Barfield's WHAT COLERIDGE THOUGHT if you want to explore the matephysician.

This is the Coleridge I thought I knew through his poetry. Holmes brings him to life in this first volume of Coleridge's early years. The book makes you wish you had known Coleridge personally and shared in his life. His life is complex and challenging and so it must have been for Holmes to research and write Coleridge's life. In fact, Holmes seems to have a special knowledge into the life of one of the greatest poets of the English language. This book gave me insights into Coleridge's works I had not had before. If you want to learn more about Samuel Taylor Coleridge, his life and his works, this is the book to read.

If you think Coleridge was finished by 1804, think again. True, all his great poems had been written but an astonishing life of triumph and tragi-comedy lay ahead. "Coleridge, Darker Reflections" is the long-awaited second half of this award-winning biography of Samuel Taylor Coleridge. It covers the period 1804-1834 - a time when, according to popular belief, Coleridge's fertile imagination had dried up and he faced a slippery slide to an opium-induced decline. But not according to the author Richard Holmes, described as "Our best post-war biographer". He is a superb story teller and unlike so many biographers before him, deeply in touch with his subject. His first volume, "Coleridge Early Visions" introduced the poet to a new generation of admirers (including myself who was fired into writing a play for children about the poet's early magical years). This wonderful book will surely establish STC as a troubled but gigantic genius of the 19th century. Holme's own genius is to show us Coleridge the man. "Always on the knife edge between tragedy and comedy" said Holmes at the London book launch this week (21st October 1998) Holmes has worked assiduously through STC's vast notebooks. Like his namesake, Sherlock, the author clearly enjoys the detection element of biography. His is a personal search for the man, his millieu and his place. Holmes retraces STC's footsteps around England - echoing the desperate perambulations of the wandering poet. Holmes tells this astonishing story at a cracking pace - he has the thriller-writer's gift for making you turn the page. We follow STC through his Malta years - a wonderful evocation of Coleridge's chaotic life. The years of tragic opium decline in London are brought to life (I challenge you not to cry) - and yet there are so many triumphs - the marvellous late poems that Holmes has championed in an earlier collection, the seminal lectures on Shakespeare, Coleridge the thinker and radical, Coleridge the father (not a very good one), the years of relative happiness in Highgate where we find Coleridge the guru. Above all is Coleridge the man. Holmes as only the greatest biographers can, brings his subject completely to life and shows us why Coleridge was such a tour de force in the Romantic movement and why Byron called Wordsworth "a fixed star" but Coleridge "a meteor". There is so much to love in this book - it is hard to know what to recommend. If you have never read a biography before, make this your first. If you think you are familiar with the life of STC, this book, so full of new discoveries and insights, will make you reassess the poet. Holmes is clearly enamoured of his subject. It is a book that will make you laugh out loud in places. You will see exactly why Charles Lamb said of his great friend "He is an archangel, damaged."

This treatment of Coleridge's early life is excellent in scope & detail; in fact, it won a prize. But its strength-- objectivity-- is its weakness. Holmes expresses no imaginitive sympathy for his subject. He writes about Romanticism with the detatchment of an entymologist examining a butterfly. And while he treats Coleridge's pathology in an overtly psychological manner, he fails to identify the pathologies he describes -- like a doctor who collects symptoms without making a diagnosis.

The result is an outstanding example of conventional literary biography, but one that is insensitive to growth, imagination, and mind in the act of making the mind -- or why Coleridge was passionate about them. Those interested in these must seek elsewhere, but this volume remains a good place to learn the facts of Coleridge's life, despite its dry prose.

Somehow Holmes produces scholarly biographies that make compulsive reading. He never fictionalizes or puts thoughts in his subjects' heads that he has no authority for - and yet he keeps us turning those pages. Is it the subjects he choses? Shelley and Coleridge both had strongly "plotted" lives. Coleridge married the sister of Southey's wife and fell in love with the sister of Wordsworth's wife. I liked his comment on Coleridge's father's predecessor in the the benefice of St Mary's Ottery.

I must say that this book came right alone side of some other material I have been studying. I have develop a series of sermons
and to have had this book at this time, was comfirmation for me, that I was is God Will, as I address the concerns at our pastorate. Which allowed me and my congregation to be enhance and to expand our understanding of ministry as it concerns our needs and God's Will. Thanks again for being use of the Lord!

No other book has motivated me to plan ahead and strategize more than this one. Both in personal life and in my ministry, this book points me to accomplishing what needs to be done. This book is invaluable. IT is worth ten times the money. Get it for yourself and see.

Malphus joins the growing ranks of authors whose goal is to help bring renewal to the church by teaching pastors how to develop a vision for ministry. In this, Malphurs was very successful. The author presents a six-step process to help pastors develop and implement a vision in the local church

Being a small church pastor I appreciate his emphasis on the small church. The use of the fictional Pastor Bob was an excellent tool of identification. It allowed the author to bring in the human element of discouragement, frustration and antagonism in a way that every pastor can identify with. Malphurs dealt adequately with the idea of opposition. The Deacon Bill character is a man we call can identify with.

His advice on how to obtain a vision was excellent, it was pragmatic and easy to use. This is in direct contrast with Barna's The Power of Vision (pgs. 81-1-84) that promulgated a process so tedious that only the most tenacious pastor would ever work his way through. His insight that vision will become a dividing rod in the congregation rings true- those who buy into it stay, those who do not, leave.

This was a pretty powerful book, but it was not without some weaknesses. It assumed that some of Pastor Bobs board were visionary people. In far too many churches, the maintenance mind-set is firmly entrenched in the power structure and visionary people are excluded. It is not unusual to have no men of vision on a church board, what then? Although he did not neglect the opposition to vision within the church, I think he did underestimate it. Peter Drucker makes it very clear that the people who have the most to lose by vision are the people who have invested the most into the organization. Barna's insight into the nature of opposition in his excellent book Turn Around Churches was far more realistic.

This book was packed full of helpful advice. I especially appreciated the distinction the author makes between leadership and management and that both are necessary in growing churches. Churches cannot grow without leadership and they cannot deal with the problems caused by growth without management. Thus the pastor must wear both hats.

Yes, this is a must read dealing with issues concerning vision that are not adequately covered in other books on the subject.

Like most ministers, I have read several books on vision. Some titles were very inspiring, other titles were very confusing. The vast majority however, were not very enlightening. This book by Malphurs moves beyond establishing the need for vision and helps the reader grasp, communicate, and implement a vision.

Malphurs follows an easy-to-understand process beginning with the definition of a ministry vision and ending with the preservation of that vision. I recommend this book highly to all ministry professionals, especially pastors.

In a world of religion where many churches seem to simply "exist" without much understanding of their own purpose, the answer time and time again of "Why?" comes back to a people perishing because of no Vision. Aubrey Malphurs skillfully weaves together wisdom and experience with practical application of a much used and little understood term: Vision. With fresh, illuminating spiritual insight, he guides us upon a journey of discovery and awareness. This voyage exposes the snapshot which has been impressed upon the film of your spirit, and through the "light-room" of the Holy Spirit, brings forth a full blown picture of what God wants the ministry He has given you to look like, ready to battle, in the 21st Century. If you would not be ignorant of the wiles of the devil, this book is a must read!

In the introduction, the creator of these photographs claims that his works of art are inspired by his dreams.

If these are his dreams, I hate to see his nightmares!

All the models are nude, and are in strange positions: holding bizzare items, draped just so.

Kinda makes you wonder: what will this guy think of next?

A tribal rapture splits our dream state revealing an untouched world of unique erotic forms. This book is a rare glimpse into the mind of John Santerineross, these images will stain your thoughts long after the cover has closed!

metaphors are a way of life and language normal people see the world in a normal way artists see life in a way that changes things...creating parallels between common images, symbolism and the world around us. Few people are able to catch their feelings their emotions their dreams into an image that they can show the rest of the world. John is one of those people. on one hand i am envious of his abilities. on the other i pity him his visions that which drives him to create these images must weigh heavy on his soul. it is the details that make his art so real so moving and so beautiful.

I was anxiously awaiting this title....after purchasing John's first book several years ago...I have hungered for more. This book exceeds my highest expectations!!! John Santerineross has the amazing ability to capture beauty and darkness simultaneously to create images that invoke an emotional response. I am amazed beyond words at the power in his images! I was mesmerized by each image, each detail...every part is hauntingly beautiful.
This book is a MUST HAVE!

Dream is the second book from American art photographer, John Santerineross, and further substantiates his wicked genius that was so rapturously introduced in "Fruit of the Secret God". There is no sense of evolution here; Dream takes off right where "Fruit of the Secret God" left off five years ago. And it screams!

Perusing through the pages of Dream is like entering another world, another dimension of human consciousness. A murky, cavernous realm where nightmares are reality, where Carl Jung sips tea with Freddy Kruger. The naked forms within are showcased as erotic centerpieces that are themselves part of a grander, seemingly more menacing vision. Bodies and body parts, shapes, symbols, and variety of different objects are weaved into a single, sexual tapestry, meant not so much to arouse as to incite.

Few will be able to view these images and not be moved, some may be offended, some excited, others frightened. But for those propitious few mesmerized and capable of looking deep into each portrait, and even deeper within themselves, they might be surprised to discover the most frighteningly original vision of human reality since Hiëronymus Bosch painted his medieval visions of Hell.

While I was superficially attracted to this book because of its stunning reproductions and affordable price, Kranzfelder deserves much more credit. This book is wonderful for amateur Hopper enthusiasts and presents in-depth analysis balanced with connections to contemporary painters and changes in society. Mostly chronological, this book is divided into the various themes such as voyeurism, windows, sexuality, and urban isolation. Another excellent addition to any personal library from Taschen, the best art resource publisher.

Hopper made my favorite painting, "Nighthawks", arguably the most imitated and parodied painting of the past 50 years. Kranzfelder's biography is fairly superficial, concentrating on dates and major events in Hopper's life, rarely attempting to dig deeper into the subject. But that's OK; I wasn't looking for a full-scale appraisal. The reproductions are excellent and in general this is a good introduction to Hopper's life and work.

I have read the FRENCH translation of this book,and i enjoyed it,even if the approach often is on the intellectual side.No AMERICAN art in the first half of the previous century gets near that man, who visualized his country with a personnal perception.The paintings of HOPPER often gets to you in their quest of lonelyness.PEOPLE IN THE SUN for instance is fascinating.The most interesting aspect about HOPPER,is that his paintings are about the persistance of vision;the way one can try to read his mind.

Affordably priced and well written.

Must read for any admirer of Edward Hopper's work.

This is one of the most intelligent and interesting books on Hopper I've read. And I have a good-sized collection of books on this American artist because he's my favorite.

Not only are there rarer paintings and etchings in here not often included in coffee table books on Hopper, but author Kranzfelder shows his influence on photography, and shows the influence of other artists (notably Degas) on Hopper. Kranzfelder puts paintings and photos on one page, and the particular example of Hopper's work on the other so you can see the comparison side by side.

The text is also interesting and full of rare facts and a good analysis as well. If you want a great book about Hopper's work, this is one of the best I have seen. HIGHLY recommended.

I was fortunate enough to be Dr. Hubel's advisee as well as his seminar student (class size 12) my freshman year. We used Eye, Brain, and Vision as our textbook, and I must say that it is a stellar, groundbreaking book. Even at his age, Dr. Hubel has his quirks and fun sense of humor, and it shows in this book. For anybody with an interest in neurophysiology, the eye, or visual perception, this book should be a fun read. Highly recommended.

P.S. Dr. Hubel had "tea and cracker" breaks during our seminars. Fun.

This is a great book for anyone interested in how they are reading these words. How is it possible that particular cells in our body can differentiate among physical objects and send electronic flickerings to the brain that then interprets this collection of atoms into familiar objects - a computer, monitor, keyboard, words or letters?

The details are explained clearly with many good diagrams and illustrations. We get something on the history of vision, the cellular and neural interplay that has combined to produce this miracle we call sight, and the comparison of photoelectric and other artificial methods of seeing with our human one.

Another great addition to the Scientific American Library.

If you want to learn about Psychoanalysis, you read Freud.
If you want to learn about the general Theory of Relativity, you read Einstein.
If you want to learn about Eye, Brain and Vision, you read Hubel.

If you want to know more about vision and curios about how we see the world, you shall read Hubel's book. Having done decades of research in vision, Hubel is one of the experts in the area. His language is simple and understandable. When you read this book, you will know more about how your brain works and how your cat sees you.

This reference provides an easy to read overview of vision. There is an introduction to neurons and neural pathways, followed by an introduction to the eye and its receptive fields. The visual pathway from the eyes to the primary visual cortex is then discussed. Orientation-specific simple and complex cells in the striate cortex are discussed. The architecture and modules of the visual cortex are then discussed, followed by a discussion of stereopsis, color vision and development of the visual system.

I don't remember the last time I read an entire novel in one sitting. With Ezekiel's Vision, freshman novelist Fred Snyder has seamlessly woven together current events in the Middle East with the ancient prophecies that lend the land of Israel its timeless mystique.

Ezekiel's Vision is a must read, it's so suspenseful that I could not put this book down until I finished. It's timeliness in view of today's events is so uncanny that I am now believer in Ezekiel's Vision.
Ezekiel's Vision is a must movie.

I'm an avid reader and must say that I could not put Ezekiel's Vision down. Being a lover of historical fiction as well as a great suspense novel, this read fulfilled on all levels. With wonderful characters, family strife, personal challenge and a story line that fits a little to closely to our daily evening news for comfort, there is no need to be Jewish to love this book. My only question is when is his next coming out? This is prime for a follow up Novel.

I was instantly drawn to Ezekiel's Vision" by the depth and clarity of the characters. I enjoyed how Mr. Snyder expertly weaved religious history into a page turning novel. The accuracy of historical religious details must have taken extensive research. Mr. Snyder made Israel alive and real for the reader. I enjoy historical religious novels that are well written and highlight our shared religious heritage. Not since Irving Stone has an author intertwined history, mystery, and love of a country into such an unforgettable read. Darlene Hoover, Ct.

In this book the author uses an ancient Biblical prophecy from the book of Ezekiel and a manuscript which provides an interpretation of this prophecy for modern times to deftly tie together the past and present history of Israel into a thoroughly intriguing and suspense-filled novel. There is an explosive ending which could have repercussions beyond the borders of Israel. Essentially, the book is about the life of Robert Zadok, an industrial engineer graduate of Boston University, who awakens to his religious roots while in college and chooses to emigrate to Israel against the wishes of his family in the USA. This decision causes a serious rift between himself and his father. In Israel he faces many challenges to build a new life as an Israeli citizen. Eventually, he marries, moves to a new home in a settlement in Northern Galillee, has five children and becomes a defense systems officer in the Army (he remained a career soldier). While living in the US, he knew his grandfather was a Jewish religious scholar but in Israel he discovers just how important the manuscripts which he interpreted regarding Ezekiel's visions were. Robert Zadok gradually comes to realize the meaning and serious impact these manuscripts could have regarding the survival of Israel as a nation.

The author weaves together the mystery of an ancient prophecy, kabbalistic mysticism, modern day Israeli politics, the historical conflicts with the Palestinians and surrounding neighbors, the realistic tapestry of everyday life in Israel, and the personal issue of the impact of a possible life-threatening illness on family dynamics, as well as the importance of religious observance in the life of Jewish people ... The book is an amazing reading adventure because it deals with so many layers of life within the context of complex social, political, and world events. It is one of those books which is hard to put down once you begin reading. The depth of the reading experience and the superb manner in which the author provides clues and new layers of complexity is truly worth discovering for oneself. This novel should be adapted into a film where it would reach a far wider audience ... Anyone interested in world events, ancient prophecy, seeking one's religious roots, the quest for self-discovery would enjoy this book. Erika Borsos [pepper flower]

I would like to thank Tully Moss for writing this lovely biography of Jim Goure. I knew Jim for little more than an hour back in 1975. He transformed my life such that a day doesn't go by that I don't think of him as my Spiritual Awakener. I say this because the morning after listening to a lecture that Jim gave in Charlottesville, Virginia my meditations were totally transformed such that an Inner LIGHT as bright at the noonday sun emanated from my solar plexus. That LIGHT still shines and it is with much gratitude that I now know this man a little better. I must admit that I was quite troubled by the event when it first occurred because I wasn't clear about what Jim had "done to me". I struggled for years with my own inner demons but as long as I made myself a channel of blessings and let the LIGHT shine outward to help others then all of my struggles vanished with incredible ease. Jim was and is a LIGHT to me and I give thanks for those few moments that I knew him. Steve Woods, Hyattsville Maryland

This is a must-read book for those who are seeking a deep understanding of spiritual matters and an awareness of what life is really about. Jim Goure was a man for all spiritual seasons, someone with both feet on the ground of wisdom and a heart possessed of the truth. I am a lifelong seeker of the truth, wherever it is found. As a physician I make my living helping others to heal themselves and find their ways along this same path. No information I have encountered anywhere else in my search resonates more with my higher self than the information I learned from Jim during the twelve years of my association and friendship with him. Tully Moss has made this experience available to those who never had the opportunity to know Jim while he was living. The lessons are simple, elegant and profound. Thank you, Tully, and thank you Jim, for making these things so.

John P. MacCallum, M.D.

This outstanding book brings back all the wonderful feelings associated with knowing Jim Goure. The stories make you laugh and cry and feel the Love. Thank you Tully Moss for the rememberences of Jim. Thank you for renewing our motivation to be who we really are. Thank you for reminding us in this lovely book what we must do. "Fantastic!" has fabulous vibrations. You will be positively changed when you read this book.

Jim Goure and his teachings have changed my life for the better! This book is the most comprehensive compilation existing on the wonderful man who was Jim Goure, and the inspiration he has given to so many. Buy this book, you will uplifted! Love and Light

I had the pleasure to know Jim Goure and put his training in my life starting in 1985. The simplicity of his method made it easy for me to
put his principles into my lifestyle. Although my life was good before
I met him, it became much better afterwards. If you're looking for a
way to make your life better that is plain and direct without any
"hocus pocus" involved, use this book as a guide and you wont regret
it. It's "fantastic" to the 10th degree!!!

If you are thinking about getting your dream house and want to make sure that the Feng Shui is good then you have to get this book! This book will give you all the knowledge you need to know to ensure you pick a good Feng Shui house. You will learn:

- Basic Feng Shui understading
- Land types
- Water Types
- Roads and its influence
- Building Structure

And at the end a summary of what to look for and what is classified bad, which you need not spend anytime at. Makes good gifts as well.

There are lots of pictures for me to better understand what the author is trying to say. It is depicted in point style makes it so easy for me the grasp the ideas immediately. The book is perfect for beginners like me to understand. One thing just bothers me, the book is quite heavy for me to prop up reading and this could be attributed to the quality of the paper used. Would not hesitate to make this book a must for friends and family members who are looking for properties.

After I read this book, I have been buying it for my friends as gifts. It makes a great introduction to Feng Shui. I found it easy to read, entertaining and easy to apply! Even I learnt a lot after reading this book- and I am a Feng Shui nut myself.

i wish i got this book earlier! would have been the perfect guide for me when i was looking for a suitable land to build my first home. never knew how significant the external environment was in feng shui terms till i read this book. would definitely recommend this to those who are currently looking to buy or build their new home - I wish I got this earlier!!!!

Best two feng shui books i've ever read (Feng Shui for Homebuyers Interior and Exterior) - as i've just decided to buy my first house, i thought to myself "where should i start?" what should i look for in a house if it were to be good feng shui?

With the easy guidelines presented in the book, the process of selecting a house with average feng shui compared to a house with good feng shui is simplified. Once again, Joey Yap has manage to relate the contents of the book to new home buyers or even just for anyone who intends to pick up feng shui, these two books (Interior and Exterior) is a good place to start.

Highly recommended! Kudos!
