Miller Books

I would highly recommend this book to anyone who wants a clear, precise, and eloquent interpretive reading of the Sermon on the Mount. Tim Miller speaks directly to his reader in this easy to understand commentary on what Jesus really meant in His Sermon on the Mount!

This book will challenge you in many areas of your own life as well as give you needed encouragement. Areas such as what it means to be humble and meek, having an appetitie for God, an eye for an eye behavior, loving your enemies, pride, adultery, swearing and every other area in your life that you can think of. This book really is a "Sermon on the Mount." If you ever had any answers that you were searching for in your soul, this book will help you. It certainly challenged me. A great bedside companion to have around.

In Jesus' Own Words: The Sermon on the Mount finally came in the mail. I was so excited! I sat down to read it and had to email Tim (the author) to tell him I had received it. It almost took an act of God to set it to the side for a few minutes. The messages are certainly bold eye openers and in everyday terms for everyone to understand. This simple way of reaching out I find is most effective to all readers. No one wants to hear the confusing gobble of someone who wants to look superior and intellectual when they are lost and confused as it is. This is also a great book for someone who just wants to sit down with a devotional to end their stressful day.

This book has some awesome blessed content that every Christian and soon to be Christian needs to help them in their walk with Christ.

I guarantee that everyone will love this book as much as I do!

Many blessings to all!

An excellent supplement to the higher education track. It provides a historical timeline of the contributions of women to the field of higher education. A must read for anyone in academia.

This book documents the history of women in education. It is a wonderful resource for those of us who did not run across the obstacles that our mothers and our grandmothers did when they pursued education. I feel that this should be a required text for all women in higher education instituitons.

I used the book as an optional text in a course on the history of higher education. It adds a dimension to the topic that is missed by most text books-yes there were women involved in the history of higher education!!! While most texts mention women, they tend to highlight the unique rather than the norm. This book does an excellent job of explaining how the average American woman faired in higher education beginning in the early 19th century.

This is a fabuoulos book!!! Very fun and perfect for story time. Just LOVE IT!!!

We bought this book as a gift for our 1 year old. He LOVES sticking his face through the hole and making the animal sound. It has been a fun way to introduce him to animals and their sounds. He also loves it when Mommy or Daddy pretend along with him!! The pictures and the story are really cute!

I picked this book up at the zoo - but liked it so much I have bought more copies from Amazon for other kids. My 13 month old is very amused by this book. Each page has an animal head - with a face missing. My son always giggles when someone picks up the book and makes a face through the page opening. He is even amused when we put him in front of a mirror with the book open with his face in the opening!

I am planning on homeschooling my soon-to-be 1-year-old child and I've been on the lookout for early learning activity books. I was happy to stumble across this guide at a local used book store.

Each chapter consists of information on child development and a couple of education themes. For example, chapter 4 is about exploring roles and one of the themes is Space. Each theme is broken down into multiple activities for drama (making and wearing a space helmet), sensory/art (making red "Mars" sand), curiosity (moon bottles with colored water and glitter), construction (wrapping blocks in foil to build with), literacy (reading "Hey Diddle Diddle" and "Goodnight Moon"), music (Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star), movement (moon walking), outdoors (coloring moon rocks), and projects (space mural collage). Each set of activities is grouped by age range: all ages, 18-24 months, 24-30 months, and 30-36 months. Each activity has step by step instructions and a supply list (mostly household items).

I can tell already that this book will provide many fun and educational activities for my son. I look forward to getting my materials together over the next few months and beginning this program with him!

i am just about to open my own nursery and have found this book to be an excellent source of information, Excellent guidelines and appropriate activities for a specific age group....i have yet to come across a book with such detailed information both for teachers and children. This book is also great for those who are not in the teaching field and require information with regard to opening a daycare, or summer camp.

This book is exactly as advertised - comprehensive. It does a wonderful job of explaining the developmental stages that your child will go through and offers a wonderful array of activities that you can use with your toddler. I have not found any other book that offers both - a research based explanation of your toddlers developmental stages and a comprehensive set of activities to use with your toddler. A good investment. I will also be purchasing the Comprehensive Infant Curriculum for our next child.

This book is appropriate for child care/pre-school providers and parents alike.

This book is a nice easy read, but still packed with information and practical solutions.

Fun and easy to read, this is not the typical Feng Shui book. The information flows clearly in an understandable and organized format. Applying the information provided to your own surroundings finally makes sense. Thanks to the authors for simplifying the complicated and making it a joyful and informative read.

"Instant Feng Shui, Just Add Wind and Water" simplifies a sometimes nebulous artform and explains how our environment reflects our life's experiences. I wish I had bought this book instead of four others which made feng shui seem like too much work!

"Instant Feng Shui" is packed with hundreds of simple suggestions for enhancing one's life. It's well organized and written with down-to-earth practical advice on all the "hot" topics: money, relationships, career, health, family. For example, is your career flowing nicely or is it stalled? "Instant Feng Shui" offers lots of fun ways to enhance your environment for more harmony, abundance and wellbeing.

Miller and Kay tell you how to put the "spotlight" on the "abundance" area of your home. Get your career "flowing". "Heat up" your relationship corner with warm colors or earth elements. Simple and practical. Each chapter has wonderful affirmations to support your goals. This book teaches you to empower yourself by taking charge of your environment, whether it's your office, your apartment or your entire home. "Instant Feng Shui" is worth its weight in gold.

Oh, were do I begin? I have read the whole collection of these tantalizing vampire books in one month. Miller's writing style is elegant and smooth making the pages flow one after another. In this book, Valerian is seductive, vulnerable, and real. My heart hurt for him as well as sang with his. I did not care for his 20th century love, but all the rest were very believable and the first........wow. I recommended this book to every person looking for a new read. I am a F 31 and never had read a vampire book before. I strongly recommend waiting to read this book until you have read the first book with Adian, talk about yummy! All the men & women are beautiful, regal, and sexy.... in a vampire way. I miss not having another of these books to read. But I will await and pray Miller keeps going in these vampire sagas. You will love Valerian from the beginning! All of Miller's characters have become part of my family.... all with a few secrets and all with more to tell!

I really enjoyed Out of the Shadows, but Miller is even better here. Both if these stories are splendidly done, with warm, likeable characters -- who doesn't adore Valerian anyway -- and just the right amount of suspense. Be sure you read Out of the Shadows ((Forever and the Night & For All Eternity) first for important background. You can enjoy these without doing so, but it will definitely heighten your enjoyment of this duo. This book contains two of the best vampire romances anywhere. Read up!

Linda Lael Miller has written a stunning series of novels featuring the vampire Valerian, his kith and kin. They are scary, romantic and great reads.
I do not like the trends of grouping previous books to offer.
Are there going to be more originals of this series? or was the last, where Valerian and his wife adopted a son, and his vampire friends daughter, a witch also married and had a child?
I know Ms. Miller reads her reviews.
Another Valerian, please?
If not, there are other excellent vampire sagas to pick up. But the Valerian series does have a flair.

Thanks so much for the textbook, you saved my life. The bookstore wanted 75.00, but you had it for only 23.00...that was stellar. Quick shipping, friendly service...what more can I say. Other buyers, do not hesitate. This seller rocks!!!!!!

I love the way this book has you work out problems in the margins as you go through the reading. This makes sure that you understand the work that you've read about, before you go on to the next piece. I also like the fact that every other odd problem is solved step-by-step in the back of the book.

Good Exercises and Examples,follows my childs High School Algebra every step of the way. The only problem is the web site is not working yet, but the book is worth more than it is sold for.

I just finished reading Roger Miller's book, Invisible Hero. I wasn't sure I would like it because I thought it was about a boy who ended up getting drafted into the Army, shipped off to Korea, and dying in a prison camp. Not too uplifting. Well, that's exactly what happened, however, the war was not the whole story.

This story was full of nostalgia. It captured a period in time that was described beautifully. I always thought of this time as the "Best of Times" to be growing up in America. In the late 40's and early 50's, things were good, life was simple. Miller captured it perfectly.

As we follow the invisible hero, Tim Davis, through his youth in small town America, we are treated to memories many of us have experienced, read about, or shared through our parent's memories. As we follow Tim through his daily activities, Miller weaves movies, radio, and even early TV bits into the dialog to such an extent you feel like you are almost there taking it all in. I especially liked the small details like the kind of cars they were driving, how much they got paid each week, and the kind of jobs they had. I came to feel that Tim was "everyboy" in some ways. Building relationships with friends and family, working summer jobs, playing ball, dating girls, hanging out with the guys, pulling harmless pranks, and just creating memories as we all do. You get to know Tim and you will like him.

This is not a war story. It's about a boy who by chance ended up going to war, as many others did. We get a nice history lesson about Korea and why we had to go there which is good because most Americans remember little about it. The interview's of those soldiers who were there and spoke of their memories was especially riveting. The ending is a bit of a tear jerker but beautifully done. I'm glad I read it.

It's hard to tell where fact and fiction overlap in "Invisible Hero," but it really doesn't matter. What this is, is truth. It's sometimes painful, but that's what life is. And this is an indelible portrait of a kind and generous young man who grows up before our eyes and is thrust into a conflict neither he nor anyone else could be prepared for.
With an incredible amount of detail and beautiful writing, Roger Miller takes the reader back to the post-World War II period and inside the Korean conflict. But mostly this is about young Tim Davis, and no one who reads this book will soon forget this "invisible hero."

Roger K. Miller's excellent début novel, Invisible Hero, focuses on the Korean War, 1950-53, the so-called "forgotten war." The hero is happy-go-lucky Tim Davis. When he is drafted, he goes-- reluctantly. It's not all bad: the army provides him with an escape from work in the steel plant and from having to make up his mind about which girl to marry. He carries photos of more than one to Korea.
From his train window in Korea, Tim sees unburied corpses of the enemy dead lying frozen in the fields. In the boxcars are blood-soaked uniforms. Tim and his fellow riflemen are "replacements" for the dead.
Miller's writing is of high calibre, especially his war scenes, understated, grim and poignant. For example: "He could see brown mounds of Chinese soldiers, some only yards in front of him. Sometimes the mounds moved, and the movement was always toward him."
The dialogue is fresh. When the North first attacks South Korea, Tim remarks, "maybe we won't get involved. I mean, Korea? Where is Korea?" A friend replies, "Oh, we always get involved, anymore, it seems." Later, in Korea, Tim is tolerant of army snafus. "You can't really organize war one, two, three," he says.
The love scenes are natural. After Tim receives his draft notice, "he put his arms around her [Peg}, and they stood there in the middle of the room in the middle of the darkness and did not speak, knowing that the fear each felt was a strange expression of love."
There's a delightful surprise ending too.
The novel's one flaw is its structure. The action shifts in time and place from wartime Korea to the U.S. Much of the back story--not only of the war but also of Tim's forbears-- comes too soon, before the reader cares enough about Tim to be interested. I was tempted to put the novel down and am glad I didn't.
At the end of his first day in combat, Tim remembers words from the Gettysburg address he had to memorize in school: "the world will little note nor long remember" the sacrifices of soldiers. Miller's novel pays fitting tribute to one such "invisible hero."

This is a biography that reads like an engrossing novel -- except that you'd never believe it as fiction. Isabella Greenway was not just enterprising; she was courageous, committed, visionary, passionate, a true pioneer. Miller, a brilliant historian and a graceful writer, makes Greenway and her era come alive. Each of her lives -- frontier woman, wife of two of Teddy Roosevelt's Rough Riders, close friend of Eleanor Roosevelt (their letters are touching and illuminating), one of the first women elected to Congress -- is riveting reading.

Despite my years of interest in Arizona history (primarily 19th century), I never knew anything about Isabella Greenway beyond "the wife of Jack Greenway" (who I also knew almost nothing about).

What an oversight! She was a remarkable woman and this book does an excellent job of bringing her to life through the many letters that she wrote to her family, friends (such as Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt), and lovers.

Growing up on the periphery of New York high society in the 1890s, she was the "poor cousin" who socialized with the Roosevelts, Astors and many others. Following her NY debut, she married a much older man and then spent fifteen years living on a ranch outside of Silver City, NM as she nursed him through a long struggle with tuberculosis. For several years their home was a pair of wooden-floored tents and she spent her days building callouses as she hauled water, chopped wood and tended the horses and chickens. What a change from New York society life! But, her letters reveal a spirit that remained positive throughout her ordeal and her family developed an intense love for the west and the ranching life.

Her fortunes changed dramatically after the death of her husband when she married her longtime love, Jack Greenway, an extremely wealthy mining engineer and executive. Her happiness, however, was short-lived. Several years later, following her establishment of the Arizona Inn, she responded to a call to public service and ran successfully for Congress after transforming the Arizona Democratic party in her role as Arizona's National Democratic Committeewoman.

Through her use of resources from the AHS' extensive Greenway collection (several hundred boxes of materials) Author Kristie Miller has revealed the most intimate thoughts of Isabella Greenway to compose a remarkable portrait of a most remarkable woman. It is very well written and reflects her meticulous research skills. Interestingly, while her public life is adequately covered, it was the glimpses into her personal relationships that intrigued me the most.

Isabella Greenway: An Enterprising Woman is the biography of an amazing woman, who played a crucial role in FDR's nomination for President. Married and widowed twice to two of Theodore Roosevelt's rough riders, an energetic businessperson who managed a ranch, an airline, and a resort, a leader who was elected to Congress as Arizona's only U.S. Representative, and was dubbed the "most talked-about woman" at the National Democratic Convention by the New York Times, her contribution to women's role in politics is nothing less than trailblazing. Illustrated with a scattering of black-and-white photographs, Isabella Greenway: An Enterprising Woman chronicles her life in a narrative manner as vibrant and evocative as Greenway herself must have once been.

Hans Holzer was one of the psychic researchers that brought the field back to serious public attention after it had fallen into disrepute earlier in the 20th century. This particular volume was written after his first three books: Ghosts I've Met, Ghost Hunter, and Yankee Ghosts. While billing himself as a "Ghost Hunter" Holzer was always careful to interview those who had experienced the sightings first hand, as opposed to merely collecting second and third hand accounts and legends. He also used cameras with special film, tape recorders, and other instruments at the sites to see if there were any residual record able effects. While he had a certain amount of psychic sensitivity himself, he usually brought along another confirmed psychic to independently confirm the feelings of both himself and the original observers. In this particular volume the famous psychic and white witch, Sybil Leek, accompanied him.

This book is based on two prolonged trips the author took to Ireland in 1965 and 1966. He found that there had been surprisingly little written about Irish ghosts up to that time, and no real serious research attempt. Accompanied by his wife (an artist that provided numerous sketches of the various sites for the book), and Sybil Leek, he criss-crossed the island. Indeed, he saw so much of Ireland that this book has secondary value as a travel guide. He followed up any and all leads that he could find from urban Dublin to the most remote regions of the western coast. The sites themselves range from farm houses to castles, and from tenements to Tara.

Holzer has a light, humorous, conversational style that makes his book a joy to read. You actually feel that you are accompanying his expeditions as he goes.

This book is a must for People that are into the Pharanormal. It's and easy to understand book. It give's indeth detail's of Case's that he has actually investigate. I would suggest this book to anyone. I think it is one of his best work's. I also would sugest reading any other book's writen by Hanz Holzer.

For many years the works of Dr. Holzer have been the yardstick by which all other books in this genre have been measured and this book is a perfect example of the man at his best. You will find no old moss covered legends or stories based on the testimony of people the author never met within the pages of this book. You also will find no stories about haunted locations that the author didn't visit or any lack of respect for the subject at hand.

What you will find in this book is a highly readable account of a series of investigations conducted by the author in 1965 and 1966 during separate visits to Ireland. Holzer and his psychic friend Sybil Leek investigated every story in this book personally, often times going to great lengths to make sure that their investigation was complete and above reproach. Oddly enough several of the people who had witnessed the haunts were very reluctant to discuss the matter but most of them finally succumbed to the author's charm for no Holzer investigation would be complete if he didn't get a chance to interview witnesses.

The haunts investigated in this book range from castle to coast and involve specters both of recent passing and those who have haunted Ireland for hundreds of years. No Irish ghost book would be complete of course without some mention of poet William Butler Yeats, a devout spiritualist and student of the occult. Therefore, not only do Holzer and Leek investigate a location where Yeats held frequent seances but in the end Holzer is pretty sure that they made some contact with the erstwhile poet.

I keep using the term investigation in this review, almost to the point of redundancy but I'm afraid that I can think of no other fitting term. Not only does this author leave out third person accounts and old legends but he also very carefully documents each case in a very scientific manner. On occasion he does stretch things a bit while trying to make a connection between some of Ms. Leek's psychic readings and historical facts that later come to light but he doesn't do this often and most of the time his conclusions seem to be very sensible.

As you can see this is not your typical ghost book. This is a scientific study of various haunted locations in Ireland that goes way beyond what one normally finds in these books. Scientific though it is, stuffy it is not and Holzer's extremely readable writing style actually makes it seem as if you are sitting in front of a blazing fireplace engaging the author in conversation. Be warned however that once you read this book many of the other ghost books on the market may seem tiresome and very lacking.
