"When you find yourself mired in regret about a choice you've made, remember this little slogan from Dottie Gandy's and Marsha Clark's book Choose!, 'There is no such thing as a bad choice; there is only a next choice.' You might even want to make a card with this saying and post it somewhere you can see it often." (reminder from M.J. Ryan, author of The Happiness Makeover)
This idea helps us to move on and not agonize and get bogged down when a certain decision turns out badly. Realizing that we make the best choice based on our knowledge at that time, and now we have choices on how to correct the situation and move forward.

This book drives home the importance of choice in women's lives. Too often women don't step up and make choices for themselves and this book addresses that.
Making no choice is choosing not to make a choice at all!

This book describes the lives of women from a variety of careers, choices, and ages. I could relate to many of the things that were written as I've lived my own life and faced difficult choices. The book helped me to focus on what's really important in making choices that allow me to be true to ME.

This book is small but powerful in discussing the role choice plays in the lives of women. Enveloped in a simple novel type format are 5 simple truths about choice. My favorite is the reminder that there is always a next choice. The book takes less than an hour to read and is perfect for women as they graduate from college, are beginning their lives as mothers, are at the age of retirement or at any other phase of their life. I'm purchasing several copies as gifts for special women in my life.

My son needed the book for college. The book got to our home in time for him to take back with him after Christmas break. Very quick!! Thanks alot!

This is not really a commentary on Revelation. It's a series of essays on a number of topics in the book. For example he takes the "silence" in heaven or the lamb/lion/dragon imagery and examines them in light of contemporary Jewish apocalyptic books like 4 Ezra, 2 Baruch, and also Enoch. The orientation is fairly conservative and the outlook is NOT premillenial. Some Greek, Latin, and Hebrew is included. This book is probably most geared for the experienced reader. Very good overall.

This book is for the serious reader and researcher of the Book of Revelation. Bauckham has not only great exegetical skill, but has a great knowledge of history. This book is a series of essays that can be read independently of one another. Some essays are better than others, but the overall book is definately worth reading. Bauckham does not take a dispensational approach, but he is not clearly a preterist either. He appreciates the historical setting of John's day, but does not believe that the message of Revelation stays only in John's day, but is characteristic of how God acts in history and in the future. I like this book, but I liked his "The Theology of the Book of Revelation" better because it is in a more reader friendly style. If you are going to purchase this book it would help to know Greek, because he uses it extensively.
This essays or topics he covers best in the book are his explanation of the 144,000, Nero and the number 666, the positive view of God's plan in his chapter entitled "the coversion of the nations" and how he sees the worship of Jesus as aprimary focus in Revelation. One chapter has an excellent presentation about how the book of Revelation should be outlined. Bauckham offers great insight and I highly recommend this book.

This is not a traditional commentary but a specialized study on the book of Revelation. Apoocalyptic literature is difficult to understand but Dr. Bauckham allowws the reader to see the theology, literary qualities, and see the connection and rootedness in the Old Testament. Clarity is brought to much of the enigma of this book while engaging one's interest and imagination. If you are going to study, preach, or teach on the book of Revelation make sure you haveThe Climax of Prophecy close at hand. or preac

I would have to argue that Wright is closer than most to helping us understand this confusing issue. Wright's main thesis is that Jesus Christ, the Jewish Messiah, fulfilled what the Law could not do, thereby fulfilling and abolishing the Law in one fell swoop. Wright also argues that Paul's understanding of the Old Testament would have been covenental, and that the two important issues that shaped Paul's theology and belief system were monotheism and the corporate covenant. First, Wright argues that to Paul the title Christ would not carry with it the titular implications that Westerners associate with the name, but designated Jesus as the Jewish Messiah. Thus, Jesus was the Messiah and embodied and completed what national Israel could not. Paul's conversion allowed him to radically reinterpret all of the Old Testament passages that spoke of Israel's renewal and reconversion to God as passages that spoke of the death and resurrection and Christ. To Paul this was the defining moment in God's salvific plan when He accomplished through Christ, what the Law and national Israel could not.

Furthermore, Wright argues that the new community formed by the work of Christ and the agency of the Spirit, fulfills the obligation of the Law through Christ. This community is corporate and is centered in the Messiah King of the new community, and this King is none other than Jesus Himself. Wright argues that just as the ancient Israelites had an actual share in the stock of the king and were connected to him through tribal bond and ethnicity, so too do Christians belong to the Messiah through membership in the new community.

In the second half of the book Wright deals with the question of the place and function of the Law within this new community and what purpose it served if it could not in fact give life to those who adhered to it. First, Wright, like Paul, unequivocally argues that the Law is good, and is holy and just because it is sent from God and was sent for a particular purpose. The Law is not evil because it was not the Law which urges us to sin, but the forces of sin and death. The Law, in both Eden and Sinai, was exactly what sin and death needed to seize mankind and grant them the opportunity to sin. Therefore, the Law could not fulfill it's primary purpose which was to bestow life on those who possessed it and cherished it. Nevertheless, this was all part of God's plan since, as Wright argues, the Law was the measure which enabled God to concentrate sin in one place, namely the nation of Israel, and then deal decisively with the problem through the Messiah. Therefore, Christ fulfilled what the Law could not accomplish, but at the same time He abolished the Law since the Law no longer needed to strive to give life to those who sought it. That life had now been bestowed in Christ, and those in Christ through membership in His community, have fulfilled the obligations of the Law and the Law is no longer a burden.

Of particular interest was Wright's view of the Israel issue. Paul saw that the Jews clung to Law as the distinguishing marker that separated them from the rest of humanity and made them privy to God's blessings. Yet, all the Law could provide for the Jews was the promised curse of Deuteronomy, but the Jews did not understand this and believed the Torah was the one thing that allowed them to claim God's blessings. Paul argued that with the death and resurrection of Jesus the Law no longer provided the ethnic privilege to the Jews that it once had, since the promises made to Abraham had now been fulfilled and membership in the family of God was decided upon faith, and not works of the Torah. Finally, Wright's exegesis of Romans 11:26-27 is interesting and controversial to say the least, but very well argued for and convincing. I can't say enough about this book since the research, argumentation, and scholarhip are all top-notch.

The basis for this book is the statement by Paul in Romans that Jesus is the (telos - end or goal) of the law for those who believe. By sending the "True Israelite" God was able to deal with sin in Israel on the cross. The Jews had been assigned a task by God to be a light to the nations. Far from fulfilling this task, the Jews had become part of the problem. Based on Romans 5:20, Mr Wright contends, and I think rightfully so, that the purpose of Torah was to concentrate sin within the nation of Israel. Acting as Israel's true representative, sin was further concentrated in the flesh of Jesus on the cross and was there condemned. Contrary to common interpretation, Wright's explains that Romans 7 and 8 is Paul's explanation of why the law had been unable to bring Israel to salvation and what God had done to solve the problem. In Romans 7, Paul vindicates the law as well as the Jew under Torah and identifies the true culprit as being SIN in the flesh. While the law was good and intended to give life, SIN had actually made Torah it's "base of operations" using it in such a way to produce death in those who were under it's yoke. By virtue of our union with Christ and through the re-creative work of the Holy Spirit, the believer becomes one with Christ. SIN is thus condemned within the life of the believer. This is but a short summary of what I believe Wright's argument to be, and I find it compelling.

Modern readers tend to read themselves into the text and have struggled to understand whether the divided man in Romans 7 is a saved or unsaved man. It turns out that we are asking the wrong questions of the text. Paul was not making a statement regarding the anthropology of man but was explaning why the law had been unable to deal with sin within the Jewish nation. There is a lot more to the book and here I have offered only a short summary of key arguments within the book. There is an excellent section on the corporate nature of Paul's use of Christos language also. If your purpose is to grow spiritually by understanding Paul's view of Christ and the Law, I highly recommend this book and consider it to be a very wise investment. It is a scholarly work and is therefore, sometimes difficult to read. A background in some greek is helpful. If you stick with it, this book will reward you may times over with theological gemstones.

That's the gist of Wright's thesis, attempting to answer that question. How did Jesus fulfill the Law and why, elsewhere, does Paul seem to say the Law was abolished? How could Jesus abolish and fulfill the Law at the same time?

Wright's central argument hinges on the assumption that Paul understood and explained salvation in corporate and covenantal terms--i.e. God made a covenant with Israel not a bunch of individual Israelites. As such Wright finds that most Protestant theology from the time of Luther and Calvin reflects late Medieval scholastic concerns rather than 1st century Jewish thought. The problem is not that Protestant theology is bad as such but that its central theological concerns don't help us understand how Paul, a 1st century Jew, would explain himself to Christian converts from Judaism and paganism.

Wright argues that the covenant of the Torah predicted a need for covenant renewal and a return from exile (he assumes that the exile did not end because the Second Temple was rebuilt, which is a view that is controversial for some). Paul sees both these promises as being fulfilled in Jesus. Since the Mosaic law predicted its renewal and a redefinition of Israel as people on whose hearts God would write the Law, Wright argues that Paul sees Jesus and the Spirit as fulfilling these promises.

Wright's explanation of Paul's high view of the Law assumes that Paul was a Pharisee, a hardly debatable point. Wright also relies on this fact iPaul explains that the Law was not the problem, people were, because people did not have the Spirit. Wright's "already but not yet" explanation of Paul's eschatology is crucial to understanding his take on how Paul viewed Jesus and the Law. The purpose of the old covenant was fulfilled in Jesus but the age of the new covenant has not fully arrived.

Wright also assumes that Jesus completely redefined Israel around himself and his teaching. People who follow Christ are thus the new Israel. Some Christians hold that the covenant with Israel is still in full effect and that Christians have a separate covenant. Wright doesn't seem to hold that view and if you do you won't agree with him. If you don't buy Wright's premise that Israel was not back from exile you will disagree with a lot of what Wright says.

I found a lot of discussion about Paul and the Law to be so mired in talking about the legal metaphors they seemed to lose sight of the purpose to which those legal metaphors are used in Paul, talking about Israelite law and Jesus. Wright's discussion of Paul and the Law was helpful to me because he set aside the topics Protestants usually talk about and simply did exegesis of the texts. It's not the easiest read but it's a very helpful book.

This opens up the works-law, grace-law debate that the Lutherans and Calvanists have been having for centuries. It not only opens up the debate, but in fact changes everything. Wright sees Paul's thought process as being governed by election and monotheism. In this work he exegetes and explores some of the more difficult passages of the New Testament such as 1 Corinthians 15:20-57, Romans 5:12-21, Philippians 2:5-11, Philemon 6, Colosians 1:15-20, 1 Corinthians 8, Galatians 3:10-22, 2 Corithians 3:18, Romans 8:1-11 and Romans chapters 9-11. He deals carefully with these texts and draws heavily on the allusions and direct quotes of the Hebrew Scriptures found in these texts. Wright's conclusions are Christ/Messiah centered, precisely because, as Wright points out, Paul's theology centered on Jesus as Messiah. This work takes the Torah as positive that was circumvented by sin to bring a curse on the people of the solution (i.e. Israel) and turn them into the people of the problem. In the end Israel who was called to be light to the world and fix the problem of death instituted by Adam's sin, but instead Israel finds that they, like Adam, have fallen under the curse due to sin using the Law, which was good to bring about the curses of Deuteronomy. The Messiah takes on this curse and traps sin and the cross and defeats it in the resurrection. The Messiah is Israel's true representative and bears the curse for Israel, but the badge of getting into Israel is faith in Jesus and not possession or the keeping of the Torah. Wright works all of this out in the book and shows how sin is defeated and why the cross was necessary. He also demonstrates that the true Israel was Jesus and those who have put their faith in him. I highly recommend this work. Even if you have read all of Wright's other books, this one stands alone.

A friend turned me on to this book and I have to say it is one of the funniest and wittiest works I have ever read. If you ever went to college, you owe it to yourself to hunt down a copy. A classic!

Where's the chapter on "Caddyshack"? Frame-by-frame analysis of this comedic masterpiece reveals startling, poignant truths about the nature of competition, and what it means for a man to struggle in an increasingly hostile, ambivalent society. A stirring achievement, "Caddyshack" belongs in the American cinematic pantheon with the best of Chaplin, Keaton, Kubrick and Frankenheimer. Collegiate literary and artistic analysis starts with "Caddyshack." Ignore it at your peril.

I wish that when I went to college, I had a book like this. I bought this for my nephew and he says it's not only hilarious, but darn useful. Don't miss the chapter about road trips!

College is the doorway to perversion! Ewwww! Cafeteria food and gratuitous Pamela Lee posters! My children are headed for hell! And these people are no damn help! LAMB'S BLOOD! LAMB'S BLOOD! AND A WOLF SHALL BAY THE DEATH MARCH, O LET IT RAIN!

I was looking for information on the Missouri river in the Kansas City area and was not disappointed.

Having boated from the Beaverhead and Jefferson tributaries of the Missouri River and then all the way down past St. Louis in 2003 and 2004 at approximately the same time of year as David Miller did, I can verify that not only has David told it the way it was, his strategies for paddling the "Missou Lady" in the future, are as good as it gets.

When meeting in 2003, as the only guests at an out-of-the-way state campground in South Dakota, we exchanged notes and thoughts as considerate adventurers do.

In 2004, I knew through a mutual and now belated friend,that David was a week or so ahead of me, below the headwaters.We didn't meet, but later went over detail in a way that only two people sharing the same experience can do.

Of extreme importance to anyone considering a venture such as paddling the Missouri, are the threads in David's words of planning/scouting ahead, using local knowledge to revise/improve one's plan, and executing with discretion, a cool head, and a quick, sure hand.

His consistent emphasis on those things most important to a paddler is a crucial key for any would-be adventurer. I saw a great number of paddlers who would have benefited greatly from his sage advice and suffered the consequences of not having had it. The difference was that between a challenging, but enjoyable outing and a disaster.

The succinct and varied references to the Lewis and Clark expedition information data base will enrich the reader's experience greatly, if time is taken to skim them, at least, lightly before and then fully, during the trip.

Lastly, David's approach of safety considerations first and letting discretion, be the better part of valor, is right on target, since a lot of the time, only you are going to get yourself out of trouble when paddling the remote parts of the Missouri River.

Hat's off for a job well done, David.

Good Luck and Steady Winds,

Wayne A. Willkomm

I wrote the canoe guide to the Missouri after my trek down the river in 1999 and that book is still in print..BUT this one is better..if you only are buying one book get this one, not mine. It is a considerable improvement on my guidebook. If, however you actually intend to canoe the whole river, or a major part of it you might also want mine. Dave has done a great service to us all! Thanks Dave!

The Complete Paddler: A Guidebook for Paddling the Missouri River from the Headwaters to St. Louis, Missouri is a no-nonsense manual written for paddlers of all skill and experience levels with an interest in exploring the Missouri River. Chapters discuss necessary equipment, risks and hazards, shoreline descriptions, currents and prevailing winds, portages, river-mile marks, historical sites to be seen, and much more. The Complete Paddler also capitalizes on modern advancements by using Global Positioning System (GPS) and Geographic Information System (GIS) technology to give accurate "sailing directions". Author David Miller also recounts his personal anecdotes of his three-summer-long, solo kayak expedition. Enthusiastically recommended for kayakers with an interest in experiencing the great Missouri River for themselves.

It's not often that I rave about a cookbook or insist that my Mom and sister buy one too but this is one of those books you gotta have in your collection. The kind of book that will end up with food stuck to the pages that will soon be a bit tattered and bent from fingers flying through them in search of the next easy meal. The recipes are down to earth simple, require few ingredients and small time investments. But the BEST part of the book is that you're made to feel as if you got a sneak peak into the recipe box of two great chefs. And you do. But you don't feel like a dummy trying to cook their food. Cuz these two prove, less is more & simple is best.

Gail and John are two of the best chefs around, and I know this from personally experiencing their recipies, not only at Zuni, but in their own kitchen as well. My aunt and uncle have always made amazing meals and made it look like the easiest thing in the world to do. Now thanks to their book, other people can do it also. I highly recomend their book and I just hope that someday I will inherit some of their amazing cooking skills.

A collection of well thought out, quick and easy egg recipes from two of my long time favorite chefs. Outside of a couple of dishes calling for truffles or caviar almost all of the ingedients can be found at the local supermarket. There are some usefull cooking tips scattered about (one I liked was using a cheap plastic squeeze bottle to control olive oil while making mayonnaise) and even a fledgling cook shouldn't have any trouble following the directions. The recipes also lend themselves to substitution and improvisation if one desires. All and all, a well thought-out, concise, egg cookbook with enough content to keep egg lovers scrambling and poaching for a long time.

Over five dozen recipes for eggs are presented in book packed with winning egg uses, from make-head tomato 'nests' holding eggs to steamed eggs with vinegar and herbs. Country Egg, City Egg is for the egg fan who needs no visual embellishment: recipes are very easy to reproduce without them and provide a wealth of egg dishes not to be found in every cookbook.

It is 1917, and while Europe is torn apart with war, women are fighting for acceptance in areas considered only appropriate for men. Josie LeMay, one of Montana's best, has signed on for nursing duties in front-line battlefields. Denise Clark, author of "Cross the Line," introduces us to Josie, a feisty, independent, courageous modern woman. Clark paints word pictures of that period of time with a riveting accuracy. "Cross the Line" is a well-written, action-packed drama that will have you hooked from page one. Clark is a superb talent with best-seller capability and I anxiously await her next sure-to-be-great novel. Congratulations, Denise. "Cross the Line" is a well told, page-turner of a debut narrative.
Beverly J Scott author of "Righteous Revenge" and "Ruth Fever."

Josie LeMay is a nurse determined to make it to the Front Lines of WWI in order to help the wounded. When she boards a transport ship in New York she realizes that not everyone wants her there, especially her Commanding Officer, Dr. Keno Beauvais. But when their ship is attacked by a German submarine, these two are thrown together, with fate intervening to keep them together throughout the remainder of the war.

While this is more of a Women's Fiction vein than straight romance, the Josie LeMay character is attractive and strong without being strident. She gets herself into many a situation, but always comes out on top. She and Keno are a well-matched pair, both determined, stubborn and strong. The history is well-researched and the plot moves forward at a quick pace.

Action, adventure, and romance are just three of the many reasons readers will be drawn into the life of nurse, Josie LeMay. Josie's strength of spirit and determination take her from her peaceful Montana home to the war-torn battlefields of WW1. When Josie takes her place in the trenches, she witnesses the horror man inflicts on man. She soon discovers that not only must she overcome the obvious enemy, she must also fight a silent enemy. Despite her skill as a nurse, she is viewed as a woman in what is considered a man's world by her commanding officer, Keno Beauvais. Josie gains Keno's respect, but he holds fast to his belief that women do not belong on the battlefield. Although Keno admires Josie's dedication and spunk, the more he gets to know her the more he wants her to go home. Love, not logic, is what motivates his thinking. In the process of earning his respect, Josie has also managed to capture his heart. Denise M. Clark's debut novel is an emotional read, populated with unforgettable characters, and heart-stopping scenes. A gifted story teller, Ms. Clark has the ability to weave historical facts into her fictional tale without beating the reader over the head with her knowledge; a talent which she uses to assist in creating reader empathy for her characters. A feeling of realism is established early, and carries through to the novel's climactic end.

I wasn't sure how I would respond to a novel about America's involvement in World War 1, and a young girl named Josie LeMay's determination to give of herself as a nurse to these war torn soldiers.
I was not prepared for what was between the covers of this exceptional novel.

Denise Clark gently takes you along with Josie as she struggles to make her way in a
man oriented situation, facing and overcoming one hurdle after another trying to complete the calling she feels she is upon her life.

Josie meets Commanding Officer, Keno Beauvais, and is thrown into one harrowing
experience after another with this strong willed man. They both had met their match. Little did she know that she would spend her life with him.

My favorite part of this novel was when the
ship they were on was sunk by a German
submarine ship. Josie and Keno were rescued by none other than the Captain of
the ship that sunk them. I will not tell you
how they escape this captivity, but author

Denise Clark does an exceptional job in her
description of this event. I loved it!

An excellent romance/historical novel. Filled to the brim with heart wrenching emotions as you share the victories and defeats of Josie LeMay and her experiences in war torn Europe.

A wonderful read, highly recommended, one you do not want to miss.

This is indeed a book full of history and tidbits that add to our current historical knowledge. I think that for the non-historian, it is difficult to read all of the notes at the end of each letter (usually longer notes than the letters themselves). I would love to see this book with many of the obscure notes removed and just the very important historical facts included to help explain what is being written about. I am loving learning about Lewis and Clark, but this book was more difficult than most.

James Holmberg has done an excellent job of providing new insight into the Clark family, in particular the relationship between William and his eldest brother by twenty years, Jonathan. ALthough the basis of the book is a set of letters that were uncovered just a few years ago, the information is a fresh look at the Clark we normally view as being part of the word "LewisandClark".
The Journals of Lewis and Clark can tell you a lot about how he acts when he is in a business or military setting, but these intimate letters that he wrote to his brother show that William was a much deeper man that just an explorer. He truly looked up to his brother, and because they lived 200 years ago, that relationship is often lost, especially in since published Clark or Expeditionemorbelia. This is a wonderful book, and if you are trying to get a better persepective of the Lewis and Clark Expedition, this book is a must read to better understand the man that became famous.

Mr. Holmberg's new forthcoming edition of letters discovered
in an old Louisville, Kentucky estate some two decades ago
will shed new light on many long unanswered questions regarding the life of William Clark, of Lewis and Clark Expedition fame.
Aside from being an archivist at Kentucky's prestigious Filson
Club which holds its own substantial William Clark collection,
Holmberg is himself an expert Lewis and Clark enthusiast who brings passion, intelligence, clarity and understanding to interpretation of these significant letters. I have been privileged to hear the lectures of Mr. Holmberg at U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Lewis and Clark Training Academies, and without a doubt this book and its letters give valuable
insight into the life of York, William Clark's slave and
fellow expedition member, the winter at Fort Mandan, William Clark's relationship with his wife, Julia, and his ongoing honest and open, although often grossly misspelled, literary discourse with his brother Jonathan. Readers of Ambrose's UNDAUNTED COURAGE will revel in this book as it gives further insight into the character of William Clark, who often gets
far less press coverage than the colorful figure of
Meriwether Lewis. Every Lewis and Clark enthusiast should
be sitting on the front porch swing awaiting the VERY MOMENT when the mailman delivers this upcoming Amazon offering. The fact that these unknown letters survived AT ALL is amazing. The added scholarship and editing added to the project by
one so respected in the field as Jim Holmberg makes the prospect of this literary work almost too grand to imagine.

Discovery of the letters of William Clark is as significant
as finding an undiscovered portrait of Lincoln. We knew the
man before the discovery, but now we will know him better!

This is the kind of book cherished by all lovers of frontier history--historical researchers and genealogists, as well as those who simply love to read about it. Not just a book of letters, but a lusciously annotated treasure chest of biographical information, and not just on the Clarks, but on the frame of frontier history which surrounded them.

The insights on William Clark and York are indeed interesting, but biographical sketches in the notes reveal arcane facts on Daniel Boone, General James Wilkinson, Meriwether Lewis, Thomas Jefferson, and many others less known but equally interesting. Mr. Holmberg sometimes indulges in speculation and tentative assertions, but the demarcation between fact and inference is always clear.

The work is handsomely constructed, the font easy to read, the notes easy to follow. A complete bibliography is provided along with a complete index. All and all, a pleasure to peruse, a delight to own.

Dr. Clark's book is an easy-to-read guide on how to design training according to the five types of content: procedures, factual information, concepts, processes and principles. She clearly defines each type and then explains to the reader how to design learning based on the "remember level" (memorization by learner) and the "apply level" (application by learner). Dr. Clark gives examples on how to assess each type of content and guides the reader through each chapter with a "visual" - a chart which she fills in as the reader progresses through the book.

One of the instructional designers at our college is leaving to head the implementation of an online program at another college. I bought her this book as a going-away gift because it is an essential tool for every one who designs learning. This resource should be in every college's, instructional designer's and instructor's library. It is well worth the price.

Dr. Clark's instructional methods in this book describe five different areas: facts, concepts, processes, procedures and principles of technical training. It summarizes and applies current research that illustrates instructional strategies allowing instructional designers to better grasp these training processes. I liked the way she applied these instructional methods in a clear-cut, uncomplicated way throughout the book.

I've been using Dr. Clark's method of instructional design since 1992 to develop training materials targeted at highly-skilled software engineers. Again and again, students have commented on the way these course materials are not only helpful during class, but also later as reference materials when they're trying to apply what they've learned.

Be warned: Developing these kinds of "information mapped" training materials requires more effort than simply throwing together some PowerPoint slides with a few bullet items. But trust me, your students will thank you.

This book provides all the instructional design details for the five content types. It describes the what and why of instructional design and describes how to display it on paper and a computer screen. There is a full chapter dedicated to CBT design. I am recommending this book as required reading for all our trainers.
