This is a classic work.
It is short and still covers many attributes of God.
What's so good about this book, is authors ability to give comprehensive and interconnected view of divine attributes; to show how they are connected and do not oppose each other.

I would recommend this book for everybody.
It's easy to read and will cause you to rethink your relationship with God for better.

The Knowledge of the Holy by Tozer is a must read for every Christian. He seems to see into the heart of God and knows, as we all should, that God wants us to know Him and in knowing Him worship and serve Him. The book has short chapters each on something "True about God" and the essential first chapters explain why we need to think rightly about God, anything short is idolatry. As I said, the book is essential reading with an open Bible next to it for all Christians, young and old.
In Jesus

This is a book about the attributes of God. Tozer does an outstanding job of pointing us to God by recalling those things which the Bible says are true of God Almighty.

A few ideas Tozer repeats throughout the book. These ideas are:

1) Modern man has lost the vision of the majesty of our God, and the first step to aquiring it is to determine to "Aquaint ourselves with God".

2) In attempting to see God the way that He truly is, we must believe in order that we may understand, not the other way around.

3) That God is unitary in His being and that all of His attributes work together perfectly without conflict with each other. Also, since God is infinite then all of His attributes are infinite as well.

I read a chapter from this book daily, and my hunger for His presence has certainly increased as a result. This book has helped me to see how futile I am in myself and how pride and worldliness are my biggest hinderences to drawing near to the Lord. This book will help you to see that nothing else in life really matters in comparison to our Almighty God.

AW Tozer is the best at anthropomorshism, which is the abilit to explain the unexplainable in terms understandable. This concept is almost beyond reason but after reading "The Knowlege of the Holy" I have experienced it.

This is the best book for those wanting to better understand God. It's also perfect for those who are struggling with their spiritual life. Tozer' gift is the ability to explain God's attributes in very simple terms.

It's a timeless book. I keep several copies on hand and use them for spontaneous gifts.

some have marked Tozer as a writer and theologian who took a rather "mystical" look at God and the things of God, but this book's beautiful prose serves not to mystify God but to make Him more understandable to the human mind. It helped me in seeing what it meant that He is lovely.

...the sweeter the juice! T.Styles pens a tale that keeps the reader on the edge of their seat. This book was a quick, action packed, page turning read. It tells the story of four friends and their trials and tribulations. Will they remain friends? Will they turn on each other as they go thru growing pains? Will the lessons that life teach them allow them to see the growth that is evident of the lesson? Or will it all be for naught? Take this trot with the friends who may or may not learn that you reap what you sow!

T. Styles have done it again!!! This book was really good. I loved it from beginning to end. Get this book and you will love it.

I really enjoyed this book! Miss Parade had the coca-cola bottle shape but didn't have the means to flaunt some style. With just a little bit of money to keep her hair tight and gear right, she began to WORK IT! A true Rags to Riches story! Read it...you won't be disappointed!

I really enjoyed reading book and just couldn't put it down until I finished. T.Styles please continue to do your thing. Im from the MD/DC area and trully can relate.

very good book this book should be an eye opener about who your friends really are and if you can truly trust someone definitely a must read

Eleanor Payson has written a groundbreaking book on the dynamic, dysfunctional dance of codependency and narcissism. The information in this book has helped me reclaim myself and also start the process of going much deeper in healing my wounded child. I would highly recommend this book to anyone questioning their relationship with family, spouse, friends, boss, therapist, medical professional, etc...

I am a little over halfway through this book but I cannot believe how squarely the author has hit the nail on the head with this book. It's like looking in a mirror when I read through the scenarios, thoughts, feelings, and actions. I feel like someone wrote this book about me, only they've never met me. I hope to use this book to become less co-dependent and work through my relationship with a narcissistic husband.

After reading many books in search of answers for a difficult relationship that lead to eventual divorce, I was finally able to understand it from another perspective, and now, am more conscious of these pervasive personalities in our society. As a former codependant, I realized the patterns of the NPD I was feeding. It's my belief that NPD people seek and cling to those who are naturally empathic, that ironically, they lack in themselves. They count on you, to empathize with them.

Of the many destructive characteristics besides the most prevalent: lack of empathy, I encountered his exploitive sense of entitlement, the grandiose thinking, envy, blaming yet not being able to admit to mistakes, manipulation and vengence, polarized emotion, and inability to maintain any long term relationships.

Sadly, I now appreciate that Narcissists cannot be reasoned with, and is better to ignore them. Thereby, removing the attention they so desire.

If I could give this book another star, I would! I have read so many books on abusive relationships and personality disorders that you could say that I needed to get a life. I was married 15 years to an emotional/verbal/financhial abuser that was turning physical. I also have 4 children with him. I was despirately looking for answers to what I was experiencing and needed validation for the abuse that my publically charming hubby was never showing anyone but his family and those closest to him. Psychologists...marriage counselors...friends...family you name it, he fooled them all. They all loved him! By the time I left this man, I was almost insane and was diagnosed with Severe Post Trauma and Battered Wife Syndrome. Worst still, our children were begging me to never leave them alone with him and our oldest even asked that cameras be put into our home to "prove" that their dad was acting this way. An absolute nightmare of grand proportions. This book was like looking right threw his game and put everything I was experiencing from him and "his family" (esp his narcistic mother) into a crystal clear realization. I now have the tools I need to detach and drop the guilt/blame that the narcissist are so skilled at using. This author also helped me understand why I was attracted to him (and so many others like him) in the first place and even identify my own narcisitic and abusive mother. I now know where I need to work on myself to make sure the same mistake does not happen again. It also talks in depth about the effects the narcissists have on their children and the different ways they exploit them. I owe this author my deepest graditude for my, and my children's sanity. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK FOR ANYONE IN AN ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIP OF ANY KIND.

I bought this book with a friend in mind. While I enjoyed the book, it was a life-changing read for her. It is a bit technical at times, but does a terrific job of explaining the narcissistic/co-dependent relationship, whether you are on the outside looking in or on the inside looking out. I highly recommend it.

Helaine and Score travel to the nightmare planet of Zarathan, in search of their kidnapped friend Pixel. It's a place where a person's nightmares and fears become reality, and to fall asleep means certain death. John Peel adds some new twists into this installment in the Diadem series by adding some elements of horror with a little science fiction thrown in. Very well done.

This whole series was a hit, it kept me reading and since it abruptly ends at this book (#6) I've been reading the 6 books over and over again, hoping for a change in heart by the author and a real ending, mind you that not rushing an ending in one book would be nice. Yes it is good for us, the readers, to use our imaginations a bit, but this was a complete cliff-hanger. The imagination/creativity is breath taking, never a cheezy moment. Mainly this book takes the story more towards an fantasy/horror story plot. Pixel is in trouble and of course Score/matt and renald/heliene jump right in to save him.... there seems to be little chance for sucsess.... what will happen?

Fun reading, great characters and an interesting twist at the end! John Peel is a good writer. The next books in the series are to be published soon. (...)

i loved the whole Diadem series so much when i was 10 and i started rereading it again and i still definately adore it even though im now 15. i was so mad when i found that this book was his last book in the series. i really want him to make at least one other book i mean he has to the cover picture still isnt complete. i love these books so much.

The Diadem series has been my favorite book since I was ten years old. I am now fifteen and still remember almost every little detail. To bad he finished the series so abruptly, right?

Then again, he didn't. John Peel has written the seventh book and is still working on book eight. The only reason why the series is not sold in stores is because the publishing companies refuse to publish the new books, saying that it did not sell well enough to make more, and they discontinued the already published ones.

I found a website that has a petition that you can sign to put the books back on the market as well as the seventh and eighth. The site is:

Diadem FanZone--The Book Series Lives On

This edition lits the hits that most people forgot! I was looking for info on one it wonders and other fun trivia that we could enjoy at work. This book was it!

This is a great book for laying musical artists and song arguments to rest.It is also very informative and fun to read.

For some reason this book is very hard to get in the UK (a bit like a good train or bus service). Hence the need to purchase it from the international site of Amazon. Once obtained it is very useful.
It now also seems difficult to get the UK version, so good luck if you are hunting for either.

An excellent reference for any music enthusiast wishing to narrow his or her research. Well written, informative and accurate. Another typical Whitburn product worth every penny. The Billboard Book of Top 40 Hits (Billboard Book of Top Forty Hits) 8th Edition

Supplement this one with his Billboard Hot 100 Charts (The Sixties) Billboard Hot 100 Charts - The Sixties. And lastly, while we're still in the 60's music Era, don't forget Whitburn's Bubbling Under The Billboard Hot 100, 1959-2004.Bubbling Under the Billboard Hot 100: 1959-2004: Joel Whitburn Presents

You can't go wrong here. The research he's done in these references to ensure accuracy and simplicity is incredible.

The 8th Edition of "The Billboard Book of Top 40 Hits" is another winner. Those familiar with this series already know that this book will be an outstanding research tool for radio stations and music collectors. The 8th Edition, written by Joel Whitburn, is another "must have" for anyone serious about music chart performance. Joel's reputation for compiling and publishing chart data in an interesting and useful format is well recognized, and this edition covers the entire time span of 1955-2003. Whitburn's books can get so much use as valuable reference tools, that it's easy to wear out the binders. Can't wait for the 9th edition!

Non-judgmental and very honest style of writing. The tools in the book brought immediate results.

I found this book to be so helpful in raising my grandson. It has been and is a refreshing way of dealing with childhood again.

I highly recommend this book. Very helpful, especially for those parents that fail to be consistent and "go with the flow", failing to create strong rules and a loving, solid discipline.
This books acts a self-confidence booster for parents, offers very empathetic advice when it comes to parental anger, and actually gives very practical tips and hints to deal with misbehavior.
I love the humor and the bright, positive thinking that fills up the book, and I really appreciate the fact that Pantley also addresses other side issues like marriage skills and parental self-esteem.
Overall a great book.

I dont know how to thank the author but she did a great job in this amazing book,she has mentioned almost all of the problems im facing with my 5,3 and 2 year old kids...and she knows exactly how a mother can feel and how she acts and at the same time she gives amazing ( i tried most of them) solutions..its one of the best book i have ever read and i highly recommend it to every parent.

This book is easy to read, in a friendly, conversational tone. I do not find Pantley patronizing or lecturing as a few other readers have suggested. I rather find that she comes across as "a good friend in the same boat". It works fine to read just a little at a time of this book if you are a busy parent with little time to spare for reading. I actually found myself reading it as slow as I could because I wanted it to last, and I would give myself a few days of reading other books between each chapter to reflect on what I'd learned before I moved on to the next part. I will most certainly refer to it again later.
I am a mother of three children and have used this with my 1st grader and my toddler/preschooler. And as the baby gets into toddlerhood I am sure that I will continue to use the advice from this book with all three.

This book has been liberating by helping me explore the mind of a narcissist. The confusion and whirlwind my life had become within my relationship with this man overwhelmed my entire life. Reading this book has helped me immensely to correlate his actions and behaviors to this mental problem. I have tried everything and realize the hard wiring is not going to be changed in him, I need to change me and stop trying to change others. I am sadden by the truth however liberated to have such a better understanding of what I have just experienced.

This is a good book for someone who might need to get angry enough to separate from a narcissist. It is however very dramatic, uses scathing language to describe the Narcissistic Personality Disorder and lacks empathy for what is a Personality Disorder, not a behavioral choice. Someone truly wanting to understand the disorder and remain empathic might want to read a book that combines accurate, up-to-date information on this disorder combined with clinical skill, depth, wisdom and understanding.

alot. i'll never love anyone else more.

and i consider my little world to be my garden. if i've pulled you up like a weed, thrown you in the discards and you can't get your mind around the fact that you're a weed, and devastated that you couldn't play me like you play everyone else then this book will give you the rationalization that you require.

i highly recommend it.

I just ordered the book, but have spent the last couple of days reading everything I can on his website. I know a lot of what is on his website is in the book, and just even what is on his website deserves 5 stars.

I have been in severe depresson for 4 days from another 'denigrating incident' with my abuser. He just feels a need to bring me down when I am doing well. So much of what I have read is exactly (what) I am living with, only I think my husband is a psychopath as well as a narcissist. Just reading Vaknins writings, and having some understanding of the N disorder gives me some hope of coping. I have been in this for 32 years. As soon as we got married he showed his true colors, and 2 weeks later I asked for a divorce, cause I knew there was 'no hope'. His answer was to lock me in the house, remove the phone, disable my car, and put all the money in an account in his name only. After 8 months he felt he 'broke me' so I got some freedoms, but after he beat me in the stomach and caused me to lose my baby (for objecting to his 'messing' with my friend, who he had allowed me to see for the first time since we married) - well, after that I 'was' broken, and from then on my health went downhill fast. What really destroyed me was the hopelessness of not being able to get out. Things got much worse. He has, at times killed my pets, and done every vile thing you could possibly think of, and then some. He cost me my daughter, cause when she excaped she never looked back. He cost me my mental health, and by the time I was 37 I was in heart failure from the long term, severe stress. According to the doctors I only have a few years to live, if that. I feel he took my whole life from me; he took my soul, and over the years I have become much like him: I am full of anger, I no longer trust anyone (cause people react negatively to me because I am often moody and overwhelmed emotionally by what I am going through, and, because all these years he has smeared my name in the community to gain sympathy and attention for himself)(abuse by proxy). I now have a hair trigger to criticism, and easily feel rage. My spirit often feels dead, and I am just plain wore out and exhausted from dealing with this. I still see 'no way out'.

I have used Vaknins website to give me some ideas, and hope, for this situation. I am setting firm boundaries and consequences. I hope through the book I can learn to get more of my life back. All I can say to others is, "if you can get out, run as fast as you can", cause if you don't get out they will destroy you. I know a couple other women in town who have been in long term marriages to guys like this. One seems to have survived quite well, but she is 'very shut down - emotionless'. The other became a total recluse, and is dying of cancer. I also knew one other, but she died in her 40's from cancer. She was glad to die. Her spirit died long before her. I don't want that for myself. I want to let go of the feelings that my abuser has (poisoned) me with, and I want to, once again, find joy in however long I have left to live.

I researched a lot of books on Narcissism before I chose Vatkins. Compared to Vatkins all the others seemed like "just skimming the surface".

This book is the equivelent to earning a doctorate in Narcissim.
Vakin is brilliant, and the book is written in such a way, you learn the concepts, I mean really know them. Very few people can teach, Vakin is in that select minority. He just states the facts, and mindset of the Narcissis in every conceavable presentation. By the middle of the book, you get the answer N's live to make you hurt, and miserable, they think it's funny when you are in pain. Noone could read this book without a life changing epiphany. Thankfully by the end you know your N has pulled your dress over your head, in private and public, he is sadistically gleeful and you can no longer live in the illussion that a relationship could work. Bravo

Useful and entertaining stats books are hard to come by but this one has hit the mark! Comprehensive and clear explanations of statistical theory are provided as well as of SPSS output. Love the examples and icons. Who would have thought a stats text could make me laugh out loud?!

dr. field has done an excellent job of making stats understandable and spss user friendly. as a social psychology grad student, i enjoy the ease of use found with the index. if i forget the differences in rotation methods for factor analysis, i can quickly find clear explanations in the book. i suggest to all grad students and advanced undergrads using spss to get a copy of this text!

When I study my MBA classes, this book helps me a lot. The book provides essential review of all Statistic knowledge in the beginning of each chaper, and then lead readers use SPSS step by step.
Especially the practical examples and funny illustration, I will say the book is the only one interesting and powerful Statistic book I can find. I highly recommand it for readers work for Marketing, Medical , Engineering , Finance, and MBA classes. The book can lead you to resolve many "real" problems.

This book contains very comprehensive explanations and descriptions with practical examples which are sometimes not so familiar with me (I'm a physician.). overall, this is an excellent book and I regret not being able to meet such a book in a way more focussing on medical fields. But this has a critical shortcoming in book-binding. you should not read this book so many times to keep the original shape. that's a reason why I gave 4 stars.

I love this book. It covers everything from the most basic t-tests and ANOVAs to factor analysis. It tells you the basics of what the test is meant to do, what sort of data is appropriate for it and it tells you how to actually run and read the test in SPSS.

It isn't the best book for someone who wants a detailed explaination of how to calculate a statistical test by hand and it doesn't give extensive detail on the assummptions required for each test. Nonetheless, it's a great quick reference book, particularly if you've already had a statistics course and you just need a refresher. Graduate students will find it useful.

Quick delivery and I loved the book. It was so much better then I
expected. Would recommend it.

Thoroughly enjoyed this book. Had never heard of the author until I saw him on the Glenn Beck TV program. I liked the testimony he had, so I decided to read this book, along with "The Gift" and "The Christmas Box". They were all well written and enjoyable to read.

Reading Finding Noel is truly a gift. The stories give one a sense of pleasure as well as serenity. This is the tenth book of Richard Paul Evan's literature that I have read. I look forward to reading The Gift next. My husband used to give me Evan's new book each year for Christmas. After his death, I sort of forgot about getting one as a gift. Recently, I went and purchased Finding Noel and The Gift to add to my collection. The covers are exquisite and the paper with the ragged edge makes it a reminder of past days. These books would make a wonderful gift for a birthday, Hannukkah or for Christmas or even for no reason at all. I highly recommend them.

The irony of fictional writing is that it works best when it comes from a real place. According to author Richard Paul Evans, the background story of his novel "Finding Noel," is drawn from the real-life story of Celeste Edmunds, a woman with whom he used to work.

As with his previous books, this is a personal work for Evans; he uses family names, origins, religion, illness and little slice-of-life things like recipes, traditions and tips to give a homey feel to his characters and story.

"Finding Noel" is also the first book of fiction that features a character diagnosed with eye cancer. Through the character Joette, Evans exposes millions of readers to this rare disease - only 2,000 adults are diagnosed each year - in a way that mainstream media and the inaccessible medical literature have not. For that alone, Evans and his fictional work are the real deal.

I came across this book after doing a search on choriadal melanoma. My dad was diagnosed 5 days before Christmas. I am happy to say he was treated with Radioactive Plaque Therapy in NYC just this past week and the doctor tells us the tumor is dead - gone!! I believe I will have to wait a while until my emotions settle a bit to read it though!

I have to say this is the best book for anyone interested in brewing. Great for the novice and more advanced home brewer.

I originally read the first edition of this book on his website for free. If you can't lay hands on this book, it's well worth it to get what information you can from this book at www.howtobrew.com.

However, if you're a budding zymurgist, or even if you've been brewing for a couple years, this book is well worth the piddly amount they're charging for it. It's saved my butt a couple of times when I've discovered I was low on a certain type of grain or on priming sugar.

Papazian is good, and there are several other books that are good to augment your library, but if you're going to get one book, I highly recommend this one.

Easy to read, informative....it'll help you brew some seriously tasty brews.

As someone who reads technical papers and blogs for a living, I found John Palmer's book to be very easy to read and extremely informative. After reading the book cover to cover, I still find myself going back to it as a "technical reference" book when I have questions about a process or approximation. This book breaks down (pun intended) the mashing process in a way that is both understandable in layman's terms with enough of the real technical process to help you really understand what is going on and why. Through this book I have enlightened many of my friends and coworkers to the joy and wonder of homebrewing.

This is undoubtedly the best single-volume resource for homebrewers. Whether you're just starting out with your first kit extract beer, or whether you're a relatively advanced all-grain brewer, this book is terrific. Lots of illustrated step by step guides to get you going on the right track, and innumerable and invaluable conversion charts, graphs, and other resources that you will return to again and again. Indispensible.

Being a rookie homebrewer, I found the book to be very helpful. It basically takes you through everything you need to know to brew your first batch, and it helps you improve it and understand what might have gone wrong.
I wouldn't recommend it as the first thing you read when starting up, as you need some basic knowledge in order to fully benefit from the book. But it's really helpful, especially once you've brewed a few batches.
