Adams Books

One moment I laughed out loud. Seconds later there were tears in my eyes, and a lump in my throat.
Then I was smiling again, and feeling wonderful all over.
I sat the book down to reflect on what I read, and wiped my eyes again.
I was not even through the first Chapter.....

I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this book.

It's not preachy or self-righteous. Rather, it simply comes off as honest, touching, and genuinely appealing to anyone whose mother has made a significant impact on their life. It's definately a step above the usual type of book that would fall under this heading, chicken soup and the like. It's not even close to being as smarmy or overbearing. It's simple, and that's the best thing this book has going for it.

Give this book a shot. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

This is a complete book that can take you from newbie to Boone and Crockett level skills. It covers bows, arrows, accessories, tuning, arrow speed, game location, techniques. Every skill you'll need to fill the freezer or flush out the trophy wall in the den.

This is a comprehensive work covering all aspects of archery, especially as it relates to ethical hunting. Chuck Adams draws from a lifetime of experience to illuminate his technical and practical advice. The book covers the fundamentals of shooting form, selecting, maintaining and tuning equipment, ballistics, hunting, and more. I have read the book and enjoyed it very much. If I could consult only one book on any aspect of archery, this would be the one.

In searching for colleges, I have found that looking at school's websites and leafing through brochures are not enough, and visiting all the schools that I am interested is not physically or financially possible. Purchasing a few of these guide books has allowed me to get an insiders view of the school and feel as if I were actually talking to current students.

The College Prowler Guide to Bowdoin College gave me a really good perspective to what my experience would be like if I attended the picturesque New England college. The 160+ plus guidebook read more like a conversational piece in a newspaper then a guidebook. College Prowler combines student input, student author editorial, facts, and a grade together perfectly to give any prospective student a all inclusive look into what college life in Suburban Maine is really like.

The detail in which College Prowler and it's author for the book went into is startling. No other resource on the market is nearly as comprehensive with as many student opinions packed into one place. You can tell that the author pained himself in making sure every point of view is represented in the book in order to paint the best picture of how four years at Bowdoin will change your life.

Read every word of every section. If you do, there is no way to overlook this school; Bowdoin combines so many great things into one place for it's 1600+ student body. The best concept conveyed in this book is the passion and zest for life that the student body has and how it works so well with the faculty, staff, and administration.

You will not be disappointed that you bought this book!!! It made me want to attend Bowdoin so much.

As Karen Christino so eloquently expressed "Evangeline's autobiography, The Bowl of Heaven is laced with humor and irony, and is her life as she would have us see it. I view the book as a promotional piece for both astrology and the author. As such, it is free of bold confessions, dicey personal anecdotes, or any hint of sex. Today we are accustomed to the juicy "tell all" biography. But Evangeline Adams was writing at a different time, and she was writing as a professional. Her readers therefore only get those facts which are either entertaining or which support Adams' role as an astrological authority. If we will have the real story of Evangeline's life, we must read between the lines." This is a truly fascinating story of an amazing woman who can be considered to have brought astrology out of the occult hinterlands on its way to mainstream culture.

"The Bowl of Heaven" is an exceptional book on the subject of astrology. Author Evangeline Adams (1865 - 1932) was the most esteemed astrologer of her day and she even had her own radio spot in the early '30's. At the turn of the century she predicted that a hotel owner was in the worst possible danger after examining his chart; he scoffed and his hotel burned to the ground in a bizarre fire immediately afterwards (No, she didn't commit arson!) Adams convinced a judge in New York City in 1914 that Astrology was an "exact science" . She was handed an anonymous birthdate (it was the judge's sons') and proceeded to tell the judge, with amazing accuracy details of the man's character, talents and major events in his life! - her case was dropped after she was accused of "fortunetelling" (which was then against New York state law). This remarkable woman foresaw WWII and her very own death in 1932. Any book this woman wrote is invaluable concerning the subject of astrology because she wrote in a fresh, clear and easily understood manner. I wish someone would write a biography about this very interesting person who was ahead of her time in her thinking and actions.

This book provides information on running a successful company that you won't find anywhere else. It is a book that I will read and re-read throughout the course of my business life.

This book provides an easy to understand guide for attaining inner peace and happiness. The contents are useful not only in the business world but also in everyday life outside of the workplace.

My son and I were first introduced to this book in a mommy-and-me class. It was read every week, and I knew once the class ended we'd need our own copy. It's a simple, sweet, delightful book. I read this copy (the big version), and my son gets to hold the pocket pal version.

My daughter loves this book. She has carried it around with her wherever she goes since she could crawl. It is small and the story is simple but sweet. This is a great cute little gift for any baby or toddler. My daughter loves that it is shaped like a bunny!

This book is great for business students. It helps you get through those courses that are not your emphasis and gives you an edge in participation for the course. I'd recommend it to all business students.

My husband owns a business and is usually quite active with one project or another. Whenever he comes home and tells me about his day, he sometimes uses phrases with which I am unfamiliar. For example, what does he mean by "low hanging fruit" or "free cash flow." These words and phrases and numerous others are detailed in the book Business Words You Should Know by Dr. Dean McKay. The book is written in an elegantly simple, understandable fashion. This is a book that belongs in every business reference library. After I read the book, my husband read it and was able to learn some new things about business terminology himself. He even found a few words and phrases that he had been interpreting incorrectly. I have found myself referring to the book several times when I sometimes overhear an unclear term on programs such as Squawk Box or Bloomberg, programs that seem to be on around our house in the early morning. Everyone who talks about business with their peers or wife or husband who may be in business should purchase this book. It is fun and easy.

Adam i think has always been one of the better comic strips.Adam and his adventures with FastEX , the coffee shops and life at home. This book contains more of the funny coffee and home office humor we come to expect from the adam comic strip.

This is a brilliant and inspiring classic on the root causes of the Reformation and the devastating affects it has had on Christendom. It is short yet direct. Direct yet avoiding vindictive polemic. A charitable conveyance of truth. All the while never losing site that truth is not relative and that, "For [the Church] there is only one true union, reunion with herself...she is bound to reject absolutely the opinion put forward by certain Protestant theologians that being a Christian is simply a question of accepting the 'fundamental' articles of the faith, even simply of accepting Christ, and not receiving in faith all the truths expressly or implicitly included in our Lord's teaching."

There is no middle ground of unity. Unity without objective truth is no unity at all.

Included in this new edition from The Coming Home Network is an update and summary from Dr. Kenneth Howell, former Presbyterian minister and theologian.

A well-reasoned and heart-wrenching appeal that should not go unnoticed. Well worth the short time it takes to read this concise but intellectually packed work. Very highly recommended.

I really enjoyed this book. I'm a Roman Catholic and this book seemed to be very honest with the shamefull behavior of some of the Catholic hierarchy at and prior to Luthers time. It was very revealing in that if Luther had a problem with the Church then that should have been what he wanted to change. But that wasn't the case. This book explains how he used this unfortunate time to use as a catalyste to perpetuate his own theology and religion. If Luther and other protostants have a problem with the "infalability" of the Church and the Pope, how can they think Luther was infalible?

I loved this cookbook. I live in Somerville have driven to the Cape many times, and grew up with New England food. The Frozen Cranberry Margarita is my favorite so far!
