I think you'll find that this book is both instructive and uplifting. Bud presents a unique viewpoint on life and spirituality that might just make you look at things a little differently.

I've had the pleasure of having Bud as an online friend for a few years now and I can tell you that his views aren't just something to fill the page. He is genuine and one of the most amazing people I've had the good fortune to know.

This was a awesome book it has great insight for leaders as well as the Leader of the church I truly believe that this would be a great book for your library also a great book to share with other servers in the church. I feel that this small review is not giving the book justice you will have to read the book for yourself.

I bought this White-tailed Deer calendar and the photos in this one are absolutely awesome!!! I hope 2009 will have just as many beautiful White-tailed photos. If you love White-tail deer then you'll want to display this beautiful calendar somewhere in your home.

BUYERS BEWARE! This "Who's Who in the DC Universe #3" was published by Mayfair Games for their DC Heroes role playing game.

It is very easy for sellers to confuse this item with the much more common Who's Who series published by DC Comics. There were literally dozens of them published, and they can be cheaply bought in the used market by the handfuls.

If the seller does not clearly state in their description that their offering is for the DC Heroes RPG, contact them, asking if their item matches the photo here at Amazon exactly. Otherwise you may be very disappointed when you open up your mail...

Dr. Chapell's presentation for infant baptism is Biblical, balanced and classic. He makes his case without making enemies. It is now the standard I use for discussing and preparing families to understand the Biblical case for infant baptism. I commend this great book to pastors and others wholeheartedly.

I enjoyed reading this book. It reiterated somethings I already knew, but it also held a mirror up to me and made me see some things about myself that I needed to adjust. I read this book in one evening. This book is honest, spritually uplifting, and it tells it like it is. Thanks to the author for giving women the answer to that question... "Why Does He Do That?"

This book kept me captivated and entranced with its vivid folktales. My favorite story is "Spider Flies to the Feast." The block prints by acclaimed artist Ashley Bryan are a beautiful touch. This book is a treasure and portrays Liberian culture very vividly. I highly recommend it for readers of all ages.

Norton presents a review of moral, economic, and philosophical rationales for preserving natural variety, i.e., biological diversity and the habitats that support it.

This is not a "bleeding heart" tree-huggers guide to preserving nature. It is, on the other hand, an academically sound presentation of ideas and rationales that can help one understand that the discussion of the value of, say, a tree goes much further than the amount of money one could obtain by cutting it down and selling it for lumber or pulp.

The book focuses on definitions and examples of different methods of applying value systems to diversity. After all, in this world there is little hope of preserving a thing when its value cannot be identified.

Three main value systems are discussed in the book:

1) Demand value (the economic or market value of a thing or access to a thing)

2) Intrinsic value (the value of the existance of a thing, regardless of its market value -- i.e., the value of a thing because "it is"

3) Transformative value (the likelihood that contact with a thing will change the way humans view that thing and other entities in nature)

Norton uses those value systems to present ideas about why natural diversity ought to be preserved.

This book is, in my opinion, a must read for anyone who teaches about the environment. It should also be read by legislators, and, to tell the truth, it wouldn't hurt many environmentalists to read it either!

A highly recommended book. 5 stars!

My father , of blessed memory had a great affection for Will Rogers. He always used to quote the famous ," I never met a man I didn't like". I think it was Rogers plain commonsense humor, a certain honesty and telling the truth as he saw it, which impressed my father. And perhaps also the Rogers ability to deflate great pretensions and poke quiet fun at those in power. He tells us that if companies gave us much money to developing their products as to advertising them then they wouldn't have to advertise them. He points out one very large group of unemployed people is the ' advice- givers'. He wryly remarks about the difference between agriculture in the old days when they paid you to grow things, and agriculture now when they pay you not to.
He was a much beloved America, a man of the people who seemed a living embodiment of the American faith that the small man who came from a small place could really be the biggest man of all.

I really enjoyed this book-it's very well written, loaded with great pictures, and contains a lot more personal information that was lacking in other books about Will Rogers that I've read. This book contains a fair amount of his quotes, usually given along in sync with the events that happened in his life as they unfolded. This would be an excellent book for someone who has never even heard of Will Rogers, much less read about him-they might get bit with the Will Rogers bug like I have. My husband brought this book home to me from the library, which is why I can rate it without owning it-but I will own it shortly, just as soon as my budget allows. And I plan to buy a copy for my father for a gift, as he was born in December of 1923, just in time to live through the depression and grow up hearing and reading about what this great man had to say the first time he said or wrote it. Highly recommended reading.
