Insight Books

This is probably one of the best books I have ever read. My pastor gave it to me as a training tool. I have read it several times. It gives practical and biblical information on cell churches; mostly answering the "why" and "how" questions that everybody seems to have. Excellent resource for anyone who feels led to be a part of a cell group.

Kelley, Chuck How Did They Do It? Nashville: Broadman
Press, 1991. 203pp.

Author:
Chuck Kelley is the President of NOBTS, and former chair of the evangelism department. He has also written Learning to Share My Faith about personal evangelism.

Aim:
Dr. Kelley was attempting to present the story of Southern Baptist Evangelism, including its history, controversies, methods, theology and personalities.

Analysis:
The book has three sections: 1.History; 2.Methods; and 3.Theology. In the history section Kelley outlines the stages of SBC evangelism. From passion to function (1845-1906) decribes how the convention took on the responsibility of evangelism. From function to strategy (1906-1942) explains how that responsibilty became a convention wide vision. From strategy to harvest (1942-1955) looked out how the SBC began to reap a harvest and see large scale growth. The last period from harvest to passion (1955-1990) showed the need for continued revival. SBC methodologies, the second section, have included: Decisional preaching, Personal Evangelism, Sunday School and Revivalism. Behind these evangelistic methods are the theological distinctives of A Great Commission Hermeneutic, A Moral Responsibility, A Possible Task, and a Transferrable Gospel. The epilogue is the author's speculations of the future.

Application:
It is common knowledge among Evangelicals that the Southern Baptist Convention is one of the largest denominations in the United States. What is not well known is how the SBC grew to that size. Through an examination of SBC history, methodology, and theology Dr Kelley answers the question, "How did they do it?" with a scholastic passion appreciated by seminary students and pastors. Five Stars!

Richard Exley's insightful exerpts from the book of Proverbs are an excellent resource for the Christian man seeking to align his character with that of the Bible. From temptations and indulgences to ethics, pride and values, Richard Exley uses the insight and wisdom of the book of Proverbs to teach, envoke and direct the Christian man of today. I've both recommended and bought this book for my own accountability partners and for those God has allowed me to mentor. This book is a 'must have' for every Christian man's spiritual library.

I originally found this product by going to www.wendi.com, and anyone who is interested in stage hypnosis, hypnotherapy, or would just like to gain some more knowledge about hypnosis should visit this website. When I got this product I was very excited, and after watching this video, I actually gained so much more information and knowledge from this one video, than most of the books about hypnosis that I already owned. Wendi does a very good job of breaking down the art of hypnosis as she takes you step by step into this fascinating subject. Words can't explain how much you get for such a great price! Wendi teaches you how to develop the fundamentals you need to excel in hypnosis, and she also does an awesome job at explaining what hypnosis is, and how and why it really works. Basically, anyone who wants to get a great resource for an incredible price should purchase this video!

Not only did I love the content, I was even more impressed by the customer support! Rod Cook is the best in the industry!

This book describes the work of an extensive survey into the feelings of adolsecents. 1634 teenagers (aged between 13.5 and 14.5 years) filled in questionnaries. This was a project of the Health Promotion Department, Greater Glascow Health Board.

If you are looking for solutions - a 'how to do this' type book - this may not be the book for you. What this book does is openly reveal the feelings of teenagers. Significantly this is done using the words of teenagers.

The book provides invaluable background information for teachers (what's really going on in the heads of those we teach) and parents.

The survey used to collect the information is included as an appendix at the back of the book.

Barber has made some of the most significant contributions to our knowledge of the mind. While others were making extravagant claims about the powers of the mind, Barber was testing what people could actually do in altered states like Yoga and hypnosis and under the influence of LSD, and using techniques like biofeedback.

This is one of his most important works, where he reviews research that tests what happens during hypnosis. Can a suggestion cause a blister to raise ? Can someone's heart be stopped by a suggestion ? Do people really believe they are someone else in a stage hypnosis show ? Barber made some of the most careful tests of these claims and his results are documented in this book. He also introduces his original model for testing hypnosis, the task motivation protocol, where results are compared for people who are motivated to produce results vs. hypnotized to produce results.

Barber came out of all of this with the remarkable conclusion that many of the effects claimed for hypnosis were real, but that they don't require hypnosis ! He found remarkable powers of mind, but at the same time stripped away much of the mystique of "trance."

This book is a great classic of behavioral science, a must for anyone interested in hypnosis or suggestion from any perspective. It joins Hilgard's "Hypnotic Susceptibility," as one of the small handful of essential classics of hypnosis and suggestion research. It was republished in 1995, but quickly sold out of stock. If you can find a copy, grab it.

Take Control : Insights into Irritable Bowel Syndrome is written by two well known experts who have been involved with helping IBS sufferers for years. Christine Dancey is the co-founder of the UK-based IBS Network and Dr. Claire Rutter first worked for Dancey as a research assistant for IBS before completing her PhD to further her research about IBS. The book they have written oozes with respect for the IBS sufferer and the determination that any sufferer can help themselves control much of their symptoms by using cognitive behavioral techniques to dismiss much of the negative beliefs and attitudes about themselves suffering from IBS. Both writers are very skilled at teaching you how you can control your own psychological profile. I highly recommend this book as a great start to taking back your life from IBS.

I have been to Iceland several times and find it to be the most unique country imaginable. This book is very thin, but is packed with generally very accurate and always extremely useful information as well as great color photography. This book is wonderful to use as a starting point for planning a trip to Iceland, and it is small enough to carry with you everywhere when you are there.

The book provides an overview, geographic information, hotel, restaurant, and nightlife recommendations, and multiple road trips of varying lengths that see all the common sights and many that are substantially off the beaten path. These road trips are from one to four days endurance, and are very well designed from my experience, although I can't personally attest to the attributes of the ring road between Hvammstangi and Neskaupatadur. I can say that the southern routes, and the routes to Pingvellir and the Snaefellsnes peninsula are very well designed. My favorites of the tours are numbers three and four. The coverage of the Skaftafell National Park, Jokulsarlon glacial lake (a must see: take the boat ride), Hvannadalsshnukur, Kirkjubaejarklaustur (one of my favorite little towns), Porsmork, and Stykkisholmur is particularly good. I was also amused by the coverage of the Vesturfarasafnid a Hofsofi, the only museum in the world that focuses exclusively on herring. (Iceland is known for many similar oddities, and that is one reason I love it so much.)

My only minor critiques of the book would be that the index is rather sparse, and some of the hotel and restaurant information (and a few prices) are out of date (which is to be expected.) One thing the book entirely failed to mention in the money section is that most businesses will take Icelandic kronurs and also US dollars.

This is a great little introductory tour guide to Iceland, with the emphasis on brevity and utility. I recommend it highly.
