Okay, I'm not always ready to jump straight into the Bible at 6:30 a.m. But Michelle Medlock Adams eases me into my day. She starts each daily reading with one Bible verse, then tells a story about her own life. She doesn't make herself out to be a supermom or superChristian. She's real. I like that.

Lots of her devotionals offer great ideas that have improved my relationship with Jesus. She suggests keeping a prayer notebook, where you write down your prayer requests and then jot down the answers God gives. It's so cool to see how and when God answers our prayers.

Another thing I like about this book is its size -- you can easily slip it into your purse or laptop case and take it with you.

I have long been looking for a daily devotional for mothers. This book has a daily devotion that is applicable to every mother. The devotions are quick, easy to read, and contain a short prayer at the end. I highly recommend this book. I'll be buying it for every baby shower and for birthdays to come.

As a busy mom with little free time, this devotional provides the perfect way to squeeze in some quiet time every day! The scriptures are applicable to every day life and there is a space to reflect your own thoughts on each page. It only takes a few minutes and if you miss a day it's so easy to catch up. Great gift for a new mom!

This book adds more to mix than found in the earlier Delta Green Book and will expand the RPG experience further. I would highly recommend buying this book after getting the core book for Delta Green. Expands the conspiracies outside of the United States in both enemies and allies. Much more disturbing than the groups in the original Delta Green book and adds different plot angles. Very well written and compelling. A must have the Delta Green enthusiast

If Delta Green is the Best RPG suppliment ever, then this is Number 2. You get more bang for the buck out of this book for $40 than you do in 4 $20 books. It's very well written and is a great read as well. It is how a RPG SHOULD be written.

If you already have Delta Green, Countdown should be your next purchase (if you don't have Delta Green, BUY IT!!!). Countdown adds write-ups for PISCES (Britain), GRU SV-8 (Russia), The Skoptsi, The Outlook Group, Phenomen-X, Keepers of the Faith (Ghouls), and a new look at The Hastur Mythos. Add rules for the Gift (Psychic Powers) and international templates from all over the world and you have a book that would be cheap at twice the price!!

Well worth the seemingly hefty price. In addition to containing source material that benefits *any* modern-day game (e.g. details on international law-enforcement agencies), it includes expansions on things alluded to in the main Delta Green book, such as the Army of the Third Eye, and new icky horrors like the Skoptsi.

There is also wonderful information on ghoul society and on the "King in Yellow"/Hastur mythos, concluding with "Night Floors," which is in my opinion one of the best damn adventures ever written.

Review Date: 2004-11-17
I bought this book hoping to "validate" the experiences that I have gone through. I was very interested to know how Mrs. Adams won her victory over childhood ritual abuse. However, I did not feel that for me she answered that question. She went into intense step-by-step detail of what happened to her over and over again which I feel was over-kill. I wanted her to spend less time on all of the details of the abuse and more time on how she actually won her victory step-by-step. The book switches back and forth from her host self to her little girl alter who tells of the actual abuse. Little information was written about her experiences in therapy. I would have liked to hear more about that too. Mrs. Adams is a very brave person to write her story. It seems to have helped her tremendously in her recovery. I had hoped that she would have thought about the reader's recovery as well. This is an excellent book if all you are looking for is detailed information regarding what actually happens. However, be prepared for graphic details and triggers. If you are looking for a book that helps in the actual healing process, try "Safe Passage To Healing" by Oksana which gives the right amount of details with some excellent how-to skills.

Powerful trauma and healing
Helpful Votes: 4 out of 5 total.
Review Date: 2005-08-02
This book is a very powerful accounting of severe trauma experienced in childhood. Sometimes, the author recounted acts that were so heinous they were hard to believe. Having worked with survivors of ritual abuse, however, I had to move through my denial and into acceptance, realizing that this kind of trauma does exist.

The book has an easy style to it, which belies the content. Any survivor reading this book, whether or not a survivor of ritual abuse, may find certain parts of the author's story triggering. Be gentle with your inner child while reading this book.

I highly recommend this book for survivors, family members supporting survivors, and clinicians working with survivors. - Sara Crusade, M.A. (...)

Review Date: 2004-07-01
Drawn Swords is one of the most helpful resources on ritual abuse I've located. Jeanne's story is also highly inspirational. It's also one of the few books dealing with ritual abuse that has a happy ending.

We know that Jeanne's overcome many great difficulties associated with ritual abuse. The strength and clarity of Jeanne's determination is expressed in the beginning and this may be comforting to many survivors. Knowing Jeanne survived these traumatic experiences makes it easier to read her story.

Rather than simply being a story about ritual abuse, it beautifully expresses one woman's courageous determination in the face of unimaginable evil. Jeanne's story should serve as an inspiration to survivors and their allies alike.

"Drawn Swords" is a book I frequently recommend to survivors of ritual abuse, their loved ones, and therapists. It is a source of strength, guidance, and inspiration. Jeanne Adams gently moves back and forth between nostalgic reminiscing about the era of her childhood and straightforward descriptions of the horrors of her ritual abuse. Within the worst of it, she provides spiritual sustenance. Poetic and sometimes funny anecdotes work as a salve at the close of her chapters. This book is deeply honest, exquisitely written, and a source of courage and hope. Ellen P. Lacter, Ph.D., Clinical Psychologist

If you're looking for the perfect gift for a fan of Forumula One, this book is it. I've given a few away as gifts, and it's always a riot to see the results. Whether it's a child, teen, or adult (I've mostly given this book to adults), faces light up, and the person who receives it becomes immediately drawn into the book . . . for hours. Try giving one at a party and watch as everyone gathers around to get in on the play. This is PERFECT for the fan who has everything (or the fan who wishes to have everything . . . such as a Ferrari F300). An unbelievable amount of fun. You won't be disappointed. Enjoy!

Wow, great information, great fun! A must read, actually it is a tome to pour over. There is a lot to digest, and it is very interesting. It is a very clever layout, there are lots of pockets and flaps to explore. Not for children unattended though, it could be quickly demolished. My one beef is that I found the glasses (not 3d by the way) to be a little tough to view sometimes.

Mandala Miracles

Review Date: 2007-04-29
"Looking at the letters as the expressions of creation can bring us back to the creation, to G-d's dream and vision of the world that was intended to be, to the purpose of creation, and to our own seemingly unlimited potential for human creativity." ~ Rabbi David Zeller

Adam Rhine's beautifully illustrated alphabet originates from ballpoint sketches that turn into warm watercolor expressions that seem to be an ever-changing mandala miracle. His fascination with calligraphy and interest in infusing his work with the energy of color takes his black-and-white pen drawing into new realms. Here he paints and tells the story of each letter. When discussing "Beit" we see a drawing and also read:

"Having a solid foundation, the letter beit represents a house or home. Each of us can be a home for the divine and a source of blessings to the world, making it a true home for the Divine."

As you contemplate each holy letter in this book you can gain a deeper sense of purpose in the way letters are arranged to produce deeper meanings in words.

"Chai, the world for `life,' is spelled with a chet and yud. This combination unites the presence of G-d (represented by the yud) to our existence in time (chet)."

The drawings themselves are alive with meaning and beauty. I love the drawing "Ahava" because two hearts are incorporated into the picture to produce a stained-glass effect. The "Tikkun Olam" painting would be beautiful framed.

A Stupendously Beautiful Book
Helpful Votes: 4 out of 5 total.
Review Date: 2006-11-07
Adam Rhine's Hebrew Illuminations is a stupendously beautiful book. Rhine, a professional artist since 1991 and a member of the American Guild of Judaic Art, has put together a coffee table book of illustrations of both the letters of the Hebrew alphabet and a variety of Stars of David (i.e., 6-pointed or Jewish stars).

From the coloring to the fine graphic detail, these hand-drawn letters andstars unflinchingly reveal the magic that is at the core of Hebrew and Jewish written expression.As Rabbi David Zeller says in the book's forward:


"It is indeed illuminating to see how far the Hebrew letters have traveled around the world and into the cosmos. It is a wonder how they have inspired people of many religions, traditions, cultures, and professions. What is this fascination with these strange shapes - the ancient, timeless, Hebrew letters?... As you contemplate these letters now, go beyond the identified letter and its 'sub-atomic' letter particles. Allow your imagination to soar and take you through the portals of these glyphs to the worlds beyond them....

"This is the nature of the contemplative process: we open ourselves to the stimulus - here, the bold and richly colorful illuminations of the Hebrew alphabet - and our inner being supplies the rest, taking us to previously unimagined universes within. The potential of art rooted in the sacred is to take us on a sacred journey on which we discover our own unique relationship to the source of life."

Each letter occupies its own over-sized page, and facing it is a description of the letter along with commentary written by Rhine. Relevant prayers and sayings, in Hebrew, are also sprinkled throughout the book.
After theletters of the Hebrew alphabet come the Stars of David, and these are truly visionary and breathtaking in both their conception and execution. If you are Jewish, or know someone who is Jewish, or are just interested in things relating to the core of the Western esoteric tradition, then this book is a must-have. I truly feel lucky to have a copy to hold in my hands and to show my friends. Children love the beautiful images as well.

An extremely informative and fun book to read Jeffrey Dobkin is incredible. Not only did he personally respond to my phone call to him after I read his incredible book, but he dropped a note in the mail to thank me for reading his book and used some of his personal contacts to help me market my disc jockey training materials. I was able to generate a 73% response rate on a lead generating direct mail letter that I crafted straight from the step by step easy to understand directions in this brilliant printed marketing seminar. This letter was to potential wedding clients for my companies' DJ services.

We booked 5 sales from it which resulted in $2,000 in deposits and $4,975 in gross income. Not a bad time investment.

I definitely consider myself knowledgeable in the copyrwiting area, but I became extremely knowledgeable after reading Mr. Dobkin's book.

The reason that I'm writing this review is because I am preparing to read the book again. I'm sure that I will pick up many more new ideas that will help me market even more effectively.

If Jeffrey Dobkin writes another book (it could be on harvesting avecodos) I'll be in front of you in line to get it. Though I would like it autographed Mr. Dobkin!

Big book, lots of practical ideas, low cost techniques
Helpful Votes: 13 out of 14 total.
Review Date: 2000-09-25
This is another book by Dobkin covering his multiple exposure marketing methods. There's over 350 pages of checklists, resources, and great ideas. Here's a synopsis of the contents:

I - Big Results from Free Press (publicity) - 30 sections outlining how to create a PR campaign that gets published. This was very well done, and I wish he would come out with a book on this topic exclusively.

II - Direct Mail - 46 sections outlining how to create a direct mail campaign. These 46 are organized into 3 main sub-sections:

a - In Direct Mail Your Success May Be Just 32 Cents Away,

b -Other Elements of a Direct Mail Package

c - Lists: the Most Important Element in Any Mailing.

III - Marketing Through Magazines. This is broken into 4 sub-sections totalling 32 different topics:

a - Overview (how to integrate with PR releases, etc.),

b - Research Tools of the Trade Made Easy,

c - The One Evening Marketing Plan,

d - Marketing Through Magazines with Paid Advertising.

IV - Ads. This is broken down into 4 sub-sections containing 30 different topics. The sub-sections are:

a - Overview (writing your ads to an objective... a favorite of his, you'll also see it in his other book on Uncommon Marketing),

b - Types of Headlines

c - Business to Business Inquiry Generating Ads

d - Ad Design and Procurement

V - The $500 Campaign. Here he has 11 sections put together a complete campaign. * - He even includes a few pages in the back of the book for the "A Technique for Delaying Brain Death in Heart Attack Victims" as a public service. At first I looked at this and said "Huh?", then after I read it I was amazed at Dobkins concern for others. He really describes a zero cost way even a child could use on an adult having a heart attack.

What I liked about this book:

+ Lots of practical advice,

+ He organizes the material to help your marketing campaigns,

+ He covers PR as an important element, as well as direct marketing,

+ He pushes multiple-exposure marketing (which I agree is very powerful - as I've used in on software letters and tracked the results),

+ He gives copywriting advice for your letters and ads,

+ Very good coverage of "the offer". I particularly liked his concept of "complementing the offer" (adding on guarantees, etc.). He gives lots of examples here.

+ He describes a marketing cost model that you can use.

+ How to buy and position magazine ads,

+ Use of low cost techniques (inquiry generating ads, postcards)

+ Lots of reproduced examples (letters, mag ads, postcards, classifieds)

+ Long list of resources.

I liked this book very much. After I bought it, several years later he came out with the Uncommon Marketing book. I bought that one also. Although there is a certain amount of overlap, I'm happy I bought both. They are both rated an "A +" read, and make great reference books to keep on your shelf forever.

You can also see my my review of his other book at Amazon. I believe this book lives up to the claim in the title: you can market a product for as little as $500, or at least get it rolling.

This book uses a simple, straightforward style that is very accessible. Certainly older readers who are worried about memory lapses can sort through the information in this small volume quickly and, along the way, find practical ways to improve memory as well as honest information about memory loss and its causes.

The book is fun to read and very personal. Both authors share their own "memory busters" and "going blank" experiences. It all sounds very familiar. For a quick read, this book packs a lot of information.

Nothing is a more serious and scary topic than the idea of losing your memory. Alzheimer's affects so many people, in fact, most of us know someone with the disease. So how can we tell if we've got it?

With How To Remember Not to Forget by Joan Who? and Adam Rosensomething, we can get the information we need on recognizing simple memory stressors versus the onset of Alzheimer's all in a light-hearted and funny package.

This book helped me put my own fears of a declining memory to rest. I just had a lot of stress; my life was super busy; I could check many on the list of memory busters (information overload, stress, unhealthy habits, and more).

I began to apply the simple systems--always putting the keys in the same place or putting an item down and saying out loud, "I'm putting the remote control here." Before this book, I would often find my remote control in the refrigerator, a can of soda on the coffee table where the remote should have been. Now, if the remote control is in the refrigerator, it's because I've said, "I'm putting the remote control in the refrigerator."

What a great and fun read. Anyone at all interested in improving their mental capacity should read this book.

Memorology is a new field of research that studies how powerful forces of interference known as Memory Busters can muddle up your mind and lead to varying degrees of brain blockage and a condition of absentmindedness known as "the memory lapse."

It took me years to learn to put my keys in the same place, every single time. Now I also park my car in the same place when I go to the same stores. I used to lose my keys and my car on a regular basis. (Most annoying when you have to be back to work after a lunch break and shopping at the mall.)

Only through a conscious decision to change my habits did I learn to stop being such a dreamer (when it wasn't practical) and to start being more practical (living life instead of wandering in a dreamy absentminded haze). It helps when you are not working three jobs at a time to get through college. Who had time to keep a journal?

Memorology 101 teaches you to improve your memory through conscious effort. You may have information overload or developed unhealthy habits. Maybe you are just stressed out or in the midst of depression. There are so many reasons why people have memory lapses.

Joan Houlihan and Adam Rosenbaum unearth the causes of memory loss and explain how you can "remember not to forget."

Healthy Habits
Brain Food
The Importance of Sleep
Warning Signs

When I find myself in a real slump, I also take Emer'gen C LITE in some juice. It really wakes up my brain in the afternoon. One of the most freeing things I've done in my life is just to allow myself not to remember everything. If I can't remember something, I just blame it on hitting my head in a car accident. Strangely enough, my grades at college improved substantially after that incident.

Things that help me on a daily basis (some of these ideas are mentioned in this book):

Keeping a running list of things I need to buy. I write things down immediately when I think of them.

Keeping a journal - to remember quotes, life changes, times and dates.

Getting Organized in a major way - If I can't remember where everything is in my house, I go through cupboards and drawers and clean out things and reorganize. This book suggests starting with cleaning up a desk. Getting your file cabinet organized is a big challenge. I allow myself one drawer of complete clutter and one file cabinet drawer of complete chaos. Gives a girl something to organize on a rainy day.

Reading more books instead of zoning out in front of the TV - this helps me to remember the past through the experience of others. You will be reading about a childhood experience, and suddenly your own thoughts will be triggered. Keeping your brain active is a fun way to enhance your entire life with delicious thoughts.

Keeping to a manageable schedule - not allowing myself to be overwhelmed by a harried lifestyle. Keeping a bulletin board with a calendar and places to put up important notes and life-changing quotes.

How to Remember Not to Forget will help you to organize your life and adapt to change.

Exercising, Learning to Relax and Changing your Current Lifestyle will make remembering more manageable. This book also discusses the challenges of Strokes, Malnutrition, Alcoholism and Depression.

One of my friends says that if I can't remember the name of a movie, then I really didn't see it. Now, I have a review to prove it!

Also recommended: The Metabolic Plan - addresses nutritional needs and supplements. TAZO AWAKE tea also seems to have magical properties that affect concentration and it seems to help me defog my brain.

Herman Wouk is an exceptional writer and this book lives up to all the others. I feel like I know the characters and I've gained a much better understanding of Jewish life in America.

There's no such thing as a bad book by Herman Wouk, and the breadth of his writing is almost as vast as the depth. To think that one man wrote MARJORIE MORNINGSTAR, THE CAINE MUTINY, THIS IS MY GOD, THE WINDS OF WAR, WAR & REMEMBRANCE, DON'T STOP THE CARNIVAL plus a half dozen others simply boggles the imagination.

Along with DON'T STOP THE CARNIVAL, Wouk's funniest book, INSIDE, OUTSIDE is an easier read than most of the other topics he has tackled. Set in a recent decade, the title refers to the fact that in Jewish families, some people use one name at home, their Hebrew, "inside" name and the Anglicized version of that same name out in the big world. Along with the name chosen go two different and distinctive aspects of their personalities.

It seemed clear on reading INSIDE, OUTSIDE that the hero's sister, Lee, is the all-grown up version of Marjorie Morningstar. This is not Herman Wouk's most important book, far from it, but it is one of his easiest works to read. The story he has told, as always, is an interesting one. There is no such thing as a bad book when Mr. Wouk is the author.

Took this book with me on a cruise and couldn't put it down. Wouk's writing so fabulous I am now reading all of his book, some a second time.

He is a masterful writer and creates characters that come alive and stay with you.Inside, Outside: A Novel

"Inside, Outside" comes as close to being an outright autobiography as Wouk is likely to write."

"Wouk demonstrates his ability to write with compassion about people both literary and historical, real and imaginary."

Wouk's 1985 saga is a social comedy of Jewish-American life reaching from New York to Jerusalem and spanning much of the 20th century.

I actually purchased this for my husband. But I'll admit, I just had to see what was so funny. This dictionary is hilarious! No wonder he was laughing out loud in the doctor's office. You know, you are never too old for just some good ole, down to earth redneck ribbing. It has been a long time since I have laughed this hard. I would recommend this to anyone who needs to just let loose and laugh harder than you have ever laughed before. Everybody deserves to just chill out once and a while, have some good ole fun, and laugh!!! Go for it...buy his book. And laugh yourself silly.

For us rednecks this word is way too big. But I can't think of what else to call it. Jeff Foxworthy's three Redneck Dictionaries are full of "morphophonemic alterations."
On the other hand, we don't need to actually know the techincal definition to enjoy them.

This was a gift to a 40 year old male in my family. He has enjoys the book and shares many words and their definitions with people. It is a great book for the person who likes "Blue Collar Comedy" or just a person looking for a good laugh anytime. Enjoy it, as they say, laughter is the best medicine!

From beginning to end, I was hooked. Well written, intriguing book. If you're a fan of Frank Peretti's books, you are sure to enjoy King of the Shore. I have limited time to read, so I am very selective in what I will give my time to...this was an enjoyable escape and well worth the time. Hope to see more books from Eryn!

This is a really great book. The universe Eryn Adams created is intricate and imaginative. It can be compared to the best parts of the StarWars Trilogy but with a deeper meaning. I enjoyed it profoundly and it helped me during a tough time. I could definately relate to the experiences of Marcus Bass (the main character). His decission is not so different from our own. The other characters in the book were well defined and interesting. Even though I finished the book, I still find myself wondering what possibilties exist for this imaginative universe. This book would be great for readers of all ages!

The author developed the book in multi stratas of coverage with the mark of a expert novel writter as few can do. The various inter related characters, poltical structure, universe scheme, ultimate conflict clash between good/bad, the technology explainations/details/science of, and the careful inclusion of God as the Lord, all experienced by the reader via the key Character Marcus was excellent. The outcome was really neat too, the author's Christian solution of prayer to God, showing the thought to be underdog culture, as the real intellectual winners.
