Floyd Books

This book is the practical "how-to" of firing up one's Christian life from the non-chalant, hub-bub, non-committed, non-sacrificial, lukewarm, mediocre, wimpy Christianity into one that is on fire, blazing hot.

This book is the typical "revivalistic approach" that one would expect from a non-Reformed author. Ronnie Floyd has spoken in several Promise Keepers conferences to "fire up" the crowd into becoming "committed Christians." While this book is well-written to help the Christian to live more fruitfully and obediently in Christ, better is Donald Whitney's, "Spiritual Growth Of The Christian."

Mr. Floyd recently spoke on Janet Parshall's radio show, giving practical advice for the Christian who desires to mature, yet without the misconception that it's going to happen overnight, which is one underlying theme of LIFE ON FIRE. Growth is in the little things, the little decisions. They make all the difference. Ronnie Floyd is senior pastor of a First Baptist Church in Arkansas. A good book from which you'll benefit.

Pink Floyd has finally been immortalized in the same manner as Prince (or the artist formerly known as Prince, anyway), Elvis Presley, Bob Marley, Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and a host of others: as the subject of a CD Book. CD Books are the standard jewel case-sized, shrinkwrapped books that are available in most record stores in the United States (they're usually found in the CD bins with audio discs). Hence, though it contains 120 pages, the pages are only about 5.625" wide and 5" tall.
Though it's a small package, the book includes a reasonably comprehensive history of the band, a chronological summary, and a discography at the end.
The book is filled with pictures, and the pictures alone are worth the roughly US$8 price tag. There are a ton of shots of the band members, showing them at various stages in their career.
The book is published by Carlton Books Limited and as mentioned above, sells for about US$8.

This book is for the casual fan only. A hardcore fan would know just by quickly glancing through it that it contains no remarkable info. It's really only good for quick reference of simple facts and pictures.

I've been a Floyd freak forever, and this book is as close to excellent as you can get. For non readers of music, it not only has chord names, it actually shows how to play the chords. Most songbooks don't do that anymore. You usually need a chord encyclopedia to learn how to play them. The only reason "Momentary Lapse of Reason" didn't get 5 stars is because most of the words to "Dogs of War" are missing. "On the Turning Away" is superb, and easy to play for a beginner or a 30 year amateur guitar player like me. Shine on.

Well, I started playing guitar about 3 years ago. So I realized that I love Pink Floyd songs (that was a little bit late when talking about a band that old!)! No more Joe Satriani's, Steve Vai's, Eric Clapton's, Rolling Stones' songs! David Gilmour's melodic guitar is what I think the maximum of playing guitar! On The Turning Away song has a great solo just like also Sorrow! No matter how good guitar player you are, how techniques you apply, how old or new your guitar instrument is, you always will want to play like David Gilmour: right notes in the right time! And this songbook (as the others of Pink Floyd) will help you a lot! Have a big fun, pal!

The Red Knight of Germany: The Story of Baron von Richthofen Floyd Gibbons, 1927.

To begin, I can honestly classify this title as simply an excellent read. Gibbons succeeds in giving a full recollection of the occurances during the life of Richthofen, and the respect the author had for Richthofen is apparent throughout the book. It is written with the same views that I believe the pilots of the time would have had pertaining to aerial warfare, or flight alone. The romantic aspects of flight, which were held in higer regard in the times of elegant, open cockpits and gallant pilots than it is today, the book unfolds in a more-than-satisfying manner the events leading up to, and including, Richthofen's time as an aerial fighter. The book includes excerpts from Richthofen's own accounts of the war, through letters to his mother, the official requests for acknowledgement for many of the victories he attained, and quotes. Certainly the book is worthy of much more praise than I am able to give in a short review such as this. For anyone even remotely interested in the early days of Aerial warfare, and of course of special interest to those interested in the history of Germany's Ace of Aces.

This was the first biography written about Germany's great WWI air ace,Manfred von Richthofen,better known as "The Red Baron".This book was originaly written in the 1920's and is rather dated.Several superior bios of Richthofen have been written since Gibbons wrote this one.The books main week point is the authors attempt to portray Richthofen as a cold blooded killer,which subsequent biographies have shown to be totaly false.One of the books strong points is Gibbons' interviews with some of the British flyers who were lucky enough to survive being shot down by Richthofen.Their stories are quite interesting.This book makes an entertaining read,but anyone interested in a more factual account of Richthofen's life should buy one of the more recent biographies.

I found an original edition of The Red Napoleon at a used bookstore. Very interesting when looked at as an alternative history, but when it was written it was meant as warning of what might happen. Included excellent maps and orders of battle for the American and Red forces. Very rousing and descriptive scenes of war (especially the Battle for New York City) but racial paranoia keeps this from being a classic.

The author of this unusual novel of a "Red" (i.e. Soviet) Napoleon who sweeps over the world in the 1930's was a war correspondent with the Marines in Belleu Wood in WWI. (He also wrote a romanticized biography of the Red Baron.) He was therefore familiar with the weapons and tactics of the time, and knew how to write a rousing yarn. Fascinating battles fought in places like Saratoga culminate in a naval engagement a la Jutland, but in the Caribbean. The author mixes in real leaders of the time, such as Churchill (who becomes P.M.). Some may be offended by bizarre speeches concerning "miscegenation," but Gibbons actually seems sympathetic to the victims of racial prejudice. Concentrate on the wild political and military storyline, as the Red Napoleon picks up the fleets and armies of Europe and Asia one by one, giving him the strength for his final assault on America.

In "Tales from the Boudoir", Denise artfully captures the reader's imagination through a dimension where inanimate objects "come to life" by conversing with each other and experiencing a gamut of human emotions.
The "heroine" is a bed named "Le Lit" who lives vicariously through the people whom she comes in contact with, for instance by falling hopelessly in love with one of her owner's romantic conquests, before eventually finding her own way.
Denise has left an opening at the end of the book for a sequel; "a new beginning."
I would be interested in seeing a smoother transition between fantasy and real life now that Le Lit has matured and learned so much from her experiences in the "Boudoir".
"Tales" is very rich with French culture that at times puts me in mind of Danielle Steel. I give it three stars because I believe that if Denise continues to explore this realm, an existence that defies natural logic, then I can see the potential of a work in not unlike "The Chronicles of Narnia" by C.S. Lewis, in her future.

This is a very good book. A very unique story line and writen very well. I highly recommend it.

"The history of the Patten family, naval and otherwise, is presented with excellent rundowns of members from circa 1850 to 1945. This lengthy period also mirrors the history of the nation to a considerable extent. The military history woven into the fabric of the book is fascinating and educational without being overly text-like or tedious to read. One can easily appreciate the laudable patriotism of the family members while learning a great deal about ships (American and Japanese), their construction, armaments, aircraft, etc. Each theater of World War II is covered, some more extensive than others. Battles, including Pearl Harbor, are well described with searing details. Maps, pithy sayings, and more photos embellish the lucid and candid text."

This collection includes short monologues and recitations suitable for young children, ages 4-8. The speeches and recitations are built around seasonal themes including the New Year, Holy Week, Easter, summer, autumn, Thanksgiving, and Advent/Christmas. They may be used in special seasonal programs, Sunday school class programs, and worship settings.

Now for the first time with the Latin completely given in translation and embodied in an all English ext. On December 5, more than 300 years ago, in his study at Christ Church, Oxford, a curious, middle aged scholar wrote the last lines of one of the most entertaining and amazing books in the world. It is a sort of literary cosmos, and ommium gatherum, a compendium of every kind that caught the fancy of the scholar who lived in an unspecialized age. Poetry, medicine, psychology, philosophy, old wives tales, philology, wars, antiquarian lore, theology, morals, history, climatology, travel, food, love, hate, ambition, pride, astrology, art, politics and a scheme for the establishment of a Utopia-all these and more are poured forth helter-skelter by the 17th century mathematician, vicar, rector, reckoner of nativities and a style abounding in quaint conceits, sly humor and not without a certain vein of on malicious satire.
