Burns Books

I cannot tell you how I wish

There were more books in print by Disch.

At least this one, perhaps his best

Is resurrected from its rest.

Do not pass up this moment's chance

To join the happy Tom Disch dance!

The cover of Burn caught my eye.Reminded me of the old punk zines of my youth. While the cover hooked me, the words have held me! Ever read ANYTHING over & over, extracting something new from each read? That's what happens with each of these poems: you figure out what he's saying until you revisit the verse a 2nd, 3rd, or fourth time. My mind & the eye of my soul see the pain. Then I see some kind of redemption. Poetry, to me, is like music, art, wine...I don't know what's "good", but I know what I like. And I like anyone who can convey feelings, thoughts, emotions like this guy. Read it!

Best book on re-entry for missionaries that I have read. Especially great sections for TKC (Third Culture Kids, formally called MKs). Excellent for someone returning to home, to church, friends, and family receiving them. Easy read. Right on target. Should be in every mission pastor's library.

I saw this book in the store and at first thought it was simply funny -- then I read the introduction and the author offers some helpful anger management tips. In the end the book did help me to release my anger because it changed my mood to amused -- able to see the humor in all that was pissing me off. I also loved this authors book HOW TO BE HAPPY DAMMIT and her website has a great blog at www.notsalmon.com. I recommend this book as a great fun gift to yourself and anyone you know whos been pissed off lately. I am giving it as a chrismas gift to all my employees.

I am a big fan of Ms. Salmansohn's books... After I read HOW TO BE HAPPY, DAMMIT and THE 8 MINUTES GUTS BUILDER...I started to look into her other books. This one is (like many of Ms. Salmansohn's books) both fun to read...and also very helpful. Basically it explains why (and how) to go about burning off your anger. You fill out the pages about the all the things that might make you angry and then you set them on fire. It really got me thinking about all the things I should be "letting go" of in my life. I recommend this book big time!

I grew up in San Pedro California and anyone listening at that time can remember the shout "burn baby burn" (even before the riots)or "give me four and a half more bars" where Magnificent would put the needle back on the record randomly and extend the record another 3-4 minutes. This brother is and was as much a part of the fabric of American radio as any other person as Dick Clark and Alan Freed (without the payola charge). A Berry Gordy ,Smokey Robinson,Gamble and Huff of the radio, a
true radio Giant that set the stage for many, many ,many others to follow in his large footsteps.

Faulkner has written an excellent guide targeted for pastors and other ministry professionals, the book is applicable to anyone who is suspectible to burnout.

While Faulkner addresses the psychological and spiritual aspects of burnout, he also prescribes practical solutions such as: better diet, vacation, delegating, counseling, and more exercise.

Since burnout seems to be more commonplace nowadays, this book, while more than 20 years old, is a timely read!

Read, enjoy, and be encouraged to rest in the Lord!

This is a fantastic book. I read it several years ago and bought several copies for my friends. Then it went out of print and I was so disappointed. But now it's coming out in a new edition from Innovations Press in California. It took me from such a burned out hopeless point of view to a positive happy attitude. Watch for the new edition. I hear it will be out very soon.
