Perry Books

Timothy S. Perry has written a good exposition and introduction to the thought of Hendrik Kraemer. I am student of Dr. Perry at Providence College and Seminary and know him to be an incredible scholar.

No discussion of Religious Pluralism is complete without touching on Kraemer's critique of the entire endeavour. Perry outlines Kraemer's life and thought in the first few chapters and then goes on to both critique and defend him.

I have used this book as a quick resource in a couple of academic papers, and it has pointed me to further study in Kraemer. One idea that I have found particularily useful is Kraemer's idea, and Perry's treatment of it, that there is no such thing as true Pluralism. In the same way that there can never be an unbiased position in debate, Pluralism is nothing more than broad form of the exclusivism that it finds so offensive.

For the Pluralist and the Particularist alike, Perry's introduction to Kraemer will prove to be a valueable read.

The town of Hazard in Perry country, Kentucky is one of the more isolated in the country. In the days before the construction of the railway travel was very difficult, basically only by river.

In 1911 the railroad was coming to Hazard. Uncommonly the railroad hired John G. Kinner to photographically document the 1910 survey and the acquisition of the right-of-way for for the Lexington and Eastern Railway Company. He continued as the official photographer during the construction of the railroad.

Now, almost a hundred years later, the director of the local museum has collected almost two hundred photographs to form the core of this book. As best I can tell, these represent the only collection where the photographs from a single photographer cover the advent of railroading. Only in the last few pages that cover more modern years have other photographs come in.

This series of books from Arcadia tell the story of railroading in one community. They are photographic records of our history, and they are excellent

See what Japan really looks and follow the bus to Grape Mountain to pick grapes. The pages make a rainbow at the end. For very young children.

Reading David Perry's Range Finder is like taking a drive through the country with a slow buzz -- the further you go, the more you'll appreciate the complex verbal landscapes Perry creates in every poem and the more your mind will insinuate itself into those landscapes, eventually becoming merely a part of them. And if you take the time to stop and look around, you'll discover a new way of seeing things--with humor, insight, and compassion---that you wish you could make your own. I cannot recommend this book highly enough.

Not that pocket actually...this book has quite complete information for such a small book...
i've read other bigger books...they use photos instead of drawings...but i think sometimes especially for craft/sewing book, picture illustration can give me clearer understanding...and what this book give to me...besides it's short yet clear explanation, too...i sew for years but sometimes still need some quick reference...thanks i found this book in the library...it's been more than a month in my house...keep extending, and extending, and extending...until someone ask me to quit extending... :))...
i think for beginner...you will need another book published by sewing machine maker...like singer may be...because it will be more specific and has connection with the use of machine (how to sew zipper, button, etc)...

I am guilty of having read a number of Robert Perry's books on A Course In Miracles and I am further guilty of having both enjoyed and benefited from every single one of them. With that bias out front, let me introduce you to the most remarkable 134 pages you may ever read.

If you are a devoted Course student, then this is Required Material. You just can't do without it.

Or, if you happen to be a curious social scientist who wants to find out what happens when a Large and Refined Brain that is gifted with a shockingly good command of the English language and extraordinary insight is focused on an Incredibly Complicated Puzzle, then this is Required Material for you as well.

I came to this book with a reasonably good background in metaphysics, particularly those with an Eastern bent. I also had a fairly good understanding of the message and metaphysics of ACIM. Or so I thought. Perry blazes trails in places where I didn't even know there were spaces. And he does so with compassionate tolerance and guidance for those of us with Less Large and Less Refined Brains.

I frankly read this book in wonder. Again and again the author would boldly write himself straight toward a trap. I could see The End fast approaching and begin to feel the, "Aha! There, you lost it, you blew it! Right there!" rising up in me. It never happened. Not once.

Time and again Magician Perry saunters right over The Edge of the World and then--BANG!--stands on solid ground where we saw only space. Conversely, he proves himself equally adept at showing us space where we saw solid ground. It's a ride you don't want to miss, a six-out-of-five star book.

Peace to you.

In book 12 of this Space Opera, Rhodan & crew take a detour from their quest for the Planet of Eternal Life.

After the adventures of "The Planet of the Dying Sun", Rhodan's seemingly final jump to the Planet of Eternal Life is interrupted by a miscalculation in the hyper jump transition. But is it a mistake? It turns out that the coordinates were intentionally reset by a stowaway. When they finally find their extra passenger, they are surprised to find it is one of the mouse-beavers from the planet Vagabond that they just left. But this mouse-beaver is different from its companions. It, too, is a mutant. Although his powers of telekinesis and telepathy are common for its kind, his ability to remain intelligent for the entire day and night is unique.

The little Mouse-Beaver (who is, at first, christened "Emby") proves invaluable during Rhodan's side quest to Tuglan. The new coordinates have taken the Stardust to an Arkonide ruled planet many light years from either Vagabond, or the Planet of Eternal Life, or Vega. Rhodan and friends must discover who the real "Rebels of Tuglan" are and stop them. But are the rebels to help the ones that want to receive freedom from Arkonide rule, or are the rebels to help the ones that want to remain part of the Arkonide Empire? You'll be surprised at the answer to that question. From here we move to the conclusion of this "band" - "The Immortal Unknown".

At the very end of this book, you finally get to read the final name of the little mouse-beaver - a character who will become a vital member of Rhodan's Mutant Corps, and an equally important "foil" for Reginald Bell. "Emby's" relationship with Bell, which reminds me so much of the love/hate relationship between Star Trek's Spock and Dr. McCoy, becomes a great tension reliever in later books, and one of my favorite things to read.

I've never been this impressed by a series. I'm reminded of the old cliffhangers like "Buck Rodgers" or "Flash Gordon" when reading these marvelous books - a series that is still being published in Germany and is now well over 1,800 volumes. It's too bad American publishers stopped these after only about 125 books. I had to learn to speak, read, and write German in order to continue reading Perry Rhodan.

This book also contains another editorial, another science fiction movie section, and another fan letters page. Well worth reading the entire series.

This book might not be for everyone, but for the ones that want to know themselves thru their relationships, whichever kind they might be, this is the book. Yes, it might be a little scary to see what "you" are truly about, but isn't that why we are here? To learn how to love unconditionally, and with the help of our soul connections we can do just that. I love the book, and have given it to many others.

The book The Raggedy Man is a history of the Rockford Rescue Mission. For me as a long time member of the Rockford community and my association with the Rescue Mission it started out as a trip down memory lane. Through my church I had toured the original mission building on Kishwaukee street then later I, as G.O. Pitney said, farmed out my kids and volunteered at the Rescue Mission on Madison street sorting clothes and helping with weekly bible studies on family day. I remembered the people Perry mentioned and the way the programs were run and I especially liked the memories shared by G.O. and Nadine. Later I cried as Perry recounted his journey with drug addition and his victory over it. The book has a special meaning to me as I followed the mission's progress and the progress of the Pitney family for the last 37 years. I think it is important to mention that the book also emphasizes the message of the gospel which is the whole reason for the existence of the mission and that true recovery is possible through the saving power of Jesus Christ. A prologue note. Earlier this year (2005) in the spring Perry Pitney was killed in a one car auto accident. God called him home, his healing is complete. Hope Place was packed with over 300 people paying their respects to the memory of Perry.

My 7 year old (and of course mee too) loves all three of these. He'll actually sit still for hours and listen to them, and race to the CD player waiting for me to change discs. It was dissapointong to see these broadcasts get progressivly smaller with each movie. From 7 in the first, to 5 in the second, and the Return only three CD's long. The last is almost nothing but the movie, with very little additional material. It's still good, but after lstening to A New Hope, The Return of The Jedi feels very short. I would highly reccommend these. They're great for those cold or raining Saturday acfternoons.
