Perry Books

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.

This must be the third time that I've read this remarkable book since its first publication. Every time I've read it, I have been compelled to read it cover to cover as soon as possible. It is difficult to put down- for so much else that I might be occupied with seems trivial by comparison.

Essentially this is a book on calling up waking visions. To do so is to tap into our unconscious minds while still awake. The remarkable part is the claim that this can be done on a predictable, controllable basis that might even provide the rigid standards of repeatability required for traditional laboratory study. Of course I find this concession to science less significant than the fact that it actually works. This is demonstrated by multiple brief case studies conducted by the author- as well as detailed instructions on how to repeat the results on your own. Indeed an alternate title to this book could have been "A How to Guide to Building and Operating your own Psychomanteum." That's a refreshing attitude, that the innate ability to delve into our unconscious lies within all of us without the need of a mediator....

One of the primary motivations for seeking such visions is evidence that we survive death. In this regard apparitions of the deceased (whether spontaneous or incubated) rank with near death experiences and shamanic voyages. They all provide access to the Middle Realm.

Other than the motivation to contact the dead to personally confirm the survival of the personality, it may provide several other incredibly useful functions. Such controlled visions could greatly accelerate the speed, and increase the effectiveness, of psychotherapy. Of course the value of actually contacting deceased loved ones is obvious in grief consoling. Beyond this, since such visions have been known to transcend time (as well as space) there could be application to historical research. The author also points out that an incredible amount of our mythological and literary heritage seems to be the gift of such visions. Indeed, Plato's parable of the cave may very well parody the operation of the great psychomanteum at Ephyra.

My only question is why this book, and the "Theater of the Mind", has not generated greater popular or scholarly interest?

Rev Loius Cole never had a television show. he never hobnobbed with Presidents,politicans,stars of stage or screen, or Christian Contemproary Music.His Obit did not run on the front page of the NY Times,nor was it discussed on television. He didnt live in a mansion, or have his own private jet.In othernwords, rev Cole was the opposite of the snake oil soul molesters that fill the airwaves with their potent poison. Rev Cole travelled by mule driven carriage,or he walked. he lived in a shack. he minstered to his congregation in sickness and health,through goodtimes and not so good. These photographs, beautifully rendered, are as strong a testament to being a follower of the Man from Nazareth as any you're likely to find. The introduction by Rev will D Campell sums it far better than ever I would.This is a simply wonderful book

Simplicity and tenderness make "Right to be WANTED, Right to be LOVED" an invaluable resource during the time when a child learns he or she is adopted. But John Perry's little book isn't important just for the youngster. It is equally beneficial to adoptive parents, and, as the author correctly states: "It is suited as well for assisting all parents and all children to understand the power and value of love that can underlie the adopting process."

Adults will become aware of a child's emotions when first learning about his or her status. In almost fairy tale form, this book addresses the speculative process about one's physical or biological parents and helps offer answers to questions usually posed by an adopted child.

As we might find a stage play, eight brief scenes (chapters) carefully guide a three, four or five-year-old through adoption's confusing maze. Children will like and identify with Allison (Bunny) Rabbit and her adoptive parents, Mother and Father Rabbit, who discuss how she became their special gift - indeed, why she was wanted and is loved.

Here is where the author illustrates an essential awareness of limited attention spans. He provides continuity among chapters thus enabling the reader to stop temporarily whenever the young child wishes. Subsequently, with a quick reminder of "where we were in our story," the parent can proceed down the path toward fulfillment of an essential obligation.

Helping all youth understand adoption is a fundamental responsibility of parents. However, it is especially unhealthy whenever adopted children become further perplexed because they weren't adequately prepared and tenderly exposed to the truth about this wonderful gift. "RIGHT to be wanted, RIGHT to be loved serves both objectives."

Among countless blessings, my adopted son is a constant source of unsurpassed joy. I wish John Perry's book had been on the shelves a long time ago. My grandchildren now have a copy. I'm so pleased this easy-to-read children's narrative is available because I know John Perry; I respect his wisdom, caring nature, integrity and his motivation.

You will, too.

Earl Perry, a past Park Ranger for Dinosaur National Park in Utah, covers the 10 definitive canoe trips in Colorado. Some close, some remote, all worth your while. His encyclopedic knowledge of geoology combined with some human and natural history make for a great read even if you don't run rivers. AND it's FUNNY in many spots. Virtually impossible to find.
