I highly recommend this series of books. It, along with the Aquarian Gospels of Jesus the Christ, are the BEST BOOKS I'VE EVER READ -- BY FAR! We're talking really, really, really GREAT!

I'm not big on leaving comments for books, but this one deserves a thousand more 5-star ratings!

READ IT!

This series was one of the most spritually moving tapes I have ever listened to. If you are seeking enlightenment, it is a must.

I was so excited to find out they had audio for the Masters books, I'm so grateful for these. The more I listen to them, the more I feel uplifted and inspired. They truly give you an itch to discover full truth in a world full of dogmas and illusions we call reality. I highly reccomend to anyone on a search for truth. For truth in beauty and beauty is truth.

These were the first books my grandmother gave me to read when I was eighteen, a quarter of a century ago.

These obscure spirtiual tales of Napal and Tibet, High Lamas and an International Metaphysics Research Team. All posturing that the Bible story miracles we grew up hearing are not only true, but true to our nature. Could this be the real story of Shangri-la? Didn't Jesus say of his miracles, "You will do this and more"?

For me, each chapter captures the imagination, challenges my concept of what is possible on a day to day basis, and inspires my heart with prayers and teachings that quicken my spirit. I've never found any prayers anywhere that are more "alive". When I am weary, they give me solice and immediate rejuvination. When I use them in a somewhat regular practice, I notice great accelarations in synchronistic flows, shifts into higher mental acuity, and sense complete ease.

Great Godly Goodies! That deep experience of full aliveness and being on track! It seems as if by being merely aligned with the concepts and prayers, my life is enhanced, "spritually turbo charged" in some way.

I don't know what Mr.Spaldings experience was. I chose, those many years ago to merely leave my mind open to the possibilities.

My experience has been so profound, consistant and longstanding, that I am prone to share the books again and again.

I am thankful to see them so easily available and so well recieved. Thank you GrandMother.

It is inconceivable to me that anyone could read this set of books through and remain unchanged. The clarity and profound, yet simple, truths conveyed leave no doubt as to the veracity of the text. Mr. Spalding could not possibly have conjured all of this up!

Everyone is free to think what they want even if those thoughts condemn a person to the life that most of us are raised to live. This point was brought out over and over again in this work. My favorite passage from the book is: "Their are not less than one hundred and thirty million(aproximate population of the U.S. in the 1880's) masters in the U.S. alone and further proof of this is that noone but a master could appear to be something he's not."

Carol Martin's little book is such a comprehensive and step by step guide for anyone considering cosmetic surgery. It is filled with practical guidelines for the consumer. Her experience and professional understanding gives the reader valuable inside information - a must read!
Thank you Carol!

This is an easy read with valuable information. From experience and research Carol knows what she is talking about and has good advice. A must read for anyone considering cosmetic surgery.

This book is absolutely essential for anyone considering lipo and it's almost as valuable for anyone considering cosmetic surgery of any kind. It takes away the surprises and eases your way to a new you.

Once I had made my decision to have liposuction, I faced a little dilemma: embarrassment. And it wasn't the common, run of the mill embarrassment of the macho male who is getting a cosmetic procedure. I am a physician -- but I haven't seen the inside of an opoerating room in 20 years since my medical school day. When when I talked to my plastic surgeon about the procedure, he assumed that I -- as a doctor --was totally conversant with all aspects of the surgery. I had no idea what to expect, but I didn't want to look like a dope asking basic questions. The Little Book of Lipo came to the rescue. It was invaluable to me. And in fact, going forward I sounded like a liposuction expert when discussing the procedure with my surgeon and my friends. It is a must read for anybody short of a plastic surgeon.

I've known several people who have gotten liposuction in the past couple of years, with varying results and levels of satisfaction. Overwhelmingly, the ones who are the happiest with their altered bodies are the ones who had the procedure for the right reasons, picked the right surgeon and had realistic and positive expectations regarding the outcome. The rest of them wish they'd had "The Little Book of Lipo" before they had the surgery so they could have made sure they had all their bases covered as well!

Ms. Martin's book a must-have for anyone considering lipo. The author takes you, step-by-step, through everything you need to know, ask or think about before you have a surgeon suck fat out of your body...and in a very down-to-earth and entertaining manner to boot. Having a cosmetic procedure such as liposuction is not something to be taken lightly. It is surgery and as such, it needs to be thought out, researched and contemplated from all angles before the decision to proceed is reached. Any elective surgery is expensive and there are no guarantees for success. But with "The Little Book of Lipo," you are much more likely to get the results you desire because you will be educated, prepared and primed for success.

Now, finally, I can start looking for three surgeons to interview and kiss my thighs goodbye...forever! Thank you, Carol!

This book is more or less a sequel to Johnson's REAL JESUS, which exposes the fallacies of many New Testament scholars who enjoy pop culture status on various cable channels by extolling the idea of a "Jesus Movement" that seeks to interpret the gospels from a purely historical perspective. In this articulate, logical, and compelling book, Johnson moves past the arguments of the Jesus Movement and demonstrates how a divinely inspired New Testament focuses on a risen, living Christ. Johnson's book is a dynamic blueprint for understanding Christian living in the twenty-first century. In flowing prose, he shows us the diversity and richness of the gospels that have been seen one-dimensionally for such a long time. Johnson's scholarship is of the highest caliber and is used here to show what is truly at the heart of the Christian tradition.

I purchased copies for family and friends, believers and sceptics because Johnson convincingly portrays the faith of the early church that precedes the writing of the New Testament Gospel.He provides a needed emphasis on the real presence of Jesus by His Holy Spirit as a powerful interrealtional reality. Belief in the resurrection as a past event, even at the word of apostolic eye witnesses, does not adequately account for the rapid growth of the Church-communities. There had to be more than an acceptance of a message:individual and group experiences accompied the preaching and teaching. Johnson describes the 'matter of fact' phenomenon that produced conversions and the writings of the New Testament. This is the faith reponse of believers today who greet eachother at Easter in the present tense: He is Risen!

I write from the perspective of a Protestant Evangelical who has often had misgivings about some of the Catholic literature I've read, but I can say that Luke Timothy Johnson's "Living Jesus" is one of the most Christ-exalting books I have read in many years. Johnson has brought Jesus Christ from the place of cold, hard historical facts (which is where most Catholics and Protestants alike often leave Him) to the place of the living Lord experienced by the early church and whom we can experience today. In the process, Johnson ably points out the fallacies employed by those involved in the quest for the historical Jesus, a quest that seems determine to deny practically every essential truth about Jesus. Though it's easy to see Johnson's Catholic roots in his writing, I encourage my Protestant brothers to read this book. You will find yourself fellowshipping with a true brother in Christ in the pages he has written. This is a book you will read more than once.

Luke Timothy Johnson does a masterful job at creating a book that engages the reader's mind and heart. Though this book is written from an ex-priest and still retains much Catholic tradition, the Protestant reader can also enjoy and gain insight from this well written text.

This book is not written for the skeptic or the Christian revisionist, like his previous book "The Real Jesus." Instead this material will penetrate the heart of the believer. As he wonderfully points out, "To be a Christian means to assert that Jesus is alive, is indeed life-giving Spirit." This book reminds the Christian that we should be learning from a living Jesus. To often, we look at Jesus as a piece of history. This is a wake-up call to Christians everywhere.

We are to learn from Jesus from great Christians, the church, and the New Testament. I find Dr. Johnson's book to be honest and forthright and appreciated his candor about the church and himself. This is a must read!

lt johnson is a moderately conservative catholic (in fact an ex-monk) who has written extensively on nt studies. this 203 page book can be read in a few hours and is not bogged down with scholarly jargon. essentially he is putting into perspective the value of historical Jesus studies. lt states that if Jesus is today alive for Christians, how then can we get a reliable picture of Him by using the means by which we study dead people! he has been gently criticised by some including ben witherington and raymond brown for separating the Jesus of history from the Jesus we worship - but i don't think that is the focus of johnson's argument. i think lt is simply pointing out (quite validly) that historical critical studies can give only a limited picture of Jesus. he uses as an interesting example adolf hitler. if we were to perform a study in "historical hitlerology" (attempting to construct a portait using what hitler thought of himself as well as the thoughts of his closest associates), we would indeed come up with a picture of hitler that would be quite different than what we know to be true. i would agree that this comparison is a little oblique, but johnson makes a good point. the first few chapters may seem a little fluffy to some but they move quickly into the meat of the work. all in all, this is a very readable work. not everyone will agree with johnson but all those interested in Jesus studies need to be exposed to his point of view!

This makes a great study whether you do this as a group or individually. I highly recommend this book for anyone. It helps keep you encouraged in the midst of a battle or if you are just looking to deepen your walk with the Lord. This book also makes a great gift & will bless others.

Kay Arthur is great at getting you into the Word. As you study and mark the Scriptures, they come to life and you start to see the truths, which challenges you to grow in the Lord.

The lessons in this book will teach you to STAND FIRM in the midst trials and turmoil, and will help you understand and apply spiritual truth. Ephesians is the focus of this study and Kay Arthur gives you an overview of the history of Ephesus and how the culture is no different than today's. Kay takes you through the scriptures so you can learn truth inductively and then she guides you in how to apply it. Learn to write your own personal prayers right from the scriptures and activate the power of God's word in your heart and life! It takes diligent study and you need to commit at least 20 minutes a day, but it is well worth the time and effort. You won't want to stop studying once you get into this! I am only on Lesson 4 and am doing this with a group of 7 people and God is already moving in powerful ways. I want to get up on the rooftop and shout the message that EVERYONE needs to do this study! This is a very effective tool for being equipped to do battle, and believe me everyone of us is in some kind of battle, whether we realize it or not. Get prepared!

I first went through this study 11 years ago, it was given to me as a graduation present. When I wanted to focus on spiritual warfare again and didn't have access to my old book, I purchased this. This book is an excellent way to sharpen your spiritual weapons and hone your armor. As I said before, the first time I read this was 11 years ago and I still remember snippets when I am going through rough times. I would highly reccomend this to anyone who is interested in learning how to conduct spiritual warfare. It is a very scriptural look at the battle we face and how to conquer our enemy.

Kay Arthur deftly tackles a topic that not all churches and ministers will discuss: spiritual warfare. That this warfare is all around us, in many of the day-to-day situations we face, is a fact, and Arthur draws constantly and completely from Scripture to arm her reader for battle. The book, which is designed to be an 11-week study but can be read at your own pace, offers daily readings. Most days require the reader to look up and examine more closely specific Scriptural verses. Arthur does a good job of digging into the "evidence" in God's Word for points that she makes; everything is adequately supported in Scripture. What we found most interesting were the real-life stories she quotes from people she's known. Some are rather disturbing, but we must open our eyes to them.

I work in sales at an agency in FL. I liked this book alot it gives you a bunch of great ideas. I got distracted almost everytime I picked it up because there were so many ideas that would pop into my head while I read the book. There is a public relations part that I couldn't really find a way to apply to my situation but that doesn't mean it won't help you. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is interested in marketing and is interested in increasing sales. I am not in a position to implement any of these changes but I have discussed ideas with my bosses and they seemed pretty receptive. It never hurts to have ideas that could help your company make money even if it's not "your" company.

This book was very helpful and easy to read. I applied the techniques and am getting surprising responses.

I love this book. I checked it out at the library, but wanted to highlight so many things, I bought it. I keep it close at hand as a great resource for marketing my company. Kim Gordon is a competent, qualified writer, and I plan on reading more of her books!

This book rocks! It is an easy read with tons of information that a new business owner can use. The information is creative, cost-effective and results oriented. Can't wait to read more books by Kim. She is fabulous and inspirational.

For many of us, what starts out as a great idea for a product or service ultimately turns into a marketing and sales challenge. When it comes to books on marketing, Maximum Marketing, Minimum Dollars is one of the best. First, it contains incredibly practical advice that can be put to use right away. This includes strategies that can be applied by every business, small or large, and irrespective of its product or service. Second, the book is written in an approachable manner, one that clearly and concisely conveys a large amount of information. If you're looking for a practical guide to marketing that will help you to make the most out of your marketing dollars, then this book is highly recommended.

T. W. Hunt has done a good job of combining personal experiences with Biblical references to convey the process of attaining the mind of Christ.

I titled this review Expose because I think this is just what this book does. It exposes your inner nature. This is not for the NEW Christian. It would be a bit overwhelming.

As I went through the workbook I began to learn my pattern and ways of thinking. The book urges us or suggests ways that we can began to be more Christ-minded and it breaks down through scriptures Jesus Christ's ways of thinking. The author even gave some examples of his personal life experiences. There are activites in there that you can do to help you see your thought patterns. I think it made me more aware of how I really am. It's a growing tool for a Christian's walk, I would say, which is a lifetime process. Definitely a keeper that you can hold onto and refer to from time to time to re-evaluate where you stand and sort of check yourself.

I highly recommend if you are tired of drinking milk and are ready for solid food! Even for the seasoned saints out there, it really makes you check yourself if you allow yourself to be transformed and renewed.

This is a book that you need to take time/days/weeks/months to study, hand-in-hand with the bible. The Holy Spirit will convict you on what ever sins or weeds that need to be pulled from your garden.(mind) The lists that are recommended by Hunt, are an awesome tool to really get at those sinful thoughts and wants. Pray for courage to be fully honest with your thoughts and allow the Holy Spirit to do the awesome transformation of your mind and heart- to be closer to the our Savior.

This book is at the top of my "highly recommended" reading list. But, you don't just read this book - you get lost in it. The truths that are written within this book make you stop and pause in wonder. There is much to meditate and reflect on as you take in the words. A must read!

Like other reviewers, my copy of The Mind of Christ has been highlighted so many times, the pages look like they are in technicolor. Which is appropriate for how enlightening I found this book. T. W. Hunt uses examples from the lives of real people (including himself) to illustrate the life-changing principles taught, and lived, by Jesus. It helped me unlock not just the power of prayer, but the power of actually living the life of an empowered Christian. As a man thinketh in his heart, so also shall he live. I was particularly moved by Pastor Hunt's vivid description of the betrayal, trial, death and resurrection of Christ. Throughout his book, Pastor Hunt shows that our life won't always be fun and games, that real troubles come to one and all, but that having the Mind of Christ can help us successfully come through the rough (and good) times. Thank you for a helpful, inspirational book! Blessings to you!

For Civil War and Naval History buffs, this telling of the Monitor's creation and her campaign against the South's Merrimac is spellbinding.

Alot of detailed information well put together and very readable.

Monitor skillfully holds the reader spellbound about the ship, and her irrascible genius inventor. I also came to realize just how technically advanced this ship was compared to her contemporaries. This book is a quick and powerful read that you don't want to put down, and it conveys the depth and level of accomplishment achieved by John Erriccson in getting her built in the short time he did. An outstanding history replete with circumstances and entertaining anecdotes as well. A highly recommended book.

This slim volume recounts the history of USS Monitor which, in its famous engagement with the CSS Virginia (Merrimac) on March 9, 1862, rendered all wooden warships obsolete and initiated a naval arms race among world's navies that climaxed 80 years later in the Pacific battles of World War II.

Monitor's creator was a Swedish engineering prodigy named John Ericsson who had supervised 400 men as a canal engineer by age 16. For an 1829 railroad design competition built a steam locomotive that established a land speed record by covering a measured mile in 57 seconds (63 mph). But the contest sponsors changed the rules to defeat foreigner Ericsson and his attempts to provide innovate designs to the Royal Navy were also rejected. In frustration Ericsson emigrated to the United States and in 1837 invented the first practical screw propeller to drive steamships through the water.

In 1861 Union intelligence indicated the Confederates were rebuilding the scuttled former Union warship USS Merrimac as a heavily armed ironclad. If that ship (rechristened CSS Virginia but generally called simply "Merrimac"), broke the blockade of Hampton Roads then US coastal cities, including Washington, DC, would be vulnerable to attack. The Union needed an ironclad quickly, and Ericsson already had a plan!

Monitor's keel was laid in Brooklyn, NY on October 25, 1861, and Ericsson and his numerous subcontractors worked 108 days and nights until on February 9, 1862 USS Monitor was turned over to the Navy. Exactly one month later Monitor faced Merrimac at Hampton Roads. Objectively the battle was a tactical draw, but strategic victory went to the Union. The Union blockade was preserved, the Confederates remained bottled up and Britain and France, who were leaning toward supporting the South, decided to remain officially neutral.

This book tells the story of the design, construction, combat history, demise and legacy of USS Monitor in a well-written narrative format. It provides enough details for general readers interested in naval, engineering and civil war history. It may be too general for the serious buff, but I recommend it as an amazing tale to everyone else who wants to know more about this important historical event.

There are some small reproductions of period etchings and photos and a good map of the Hampton Roads battle area. The only thing missing are good schematics of Monitor's interior design.

....Like the Monitor itself, this book is short and concise and yet it packs quite a wallop. In a little more than two hundred well-written pages, Mr. DeKay manages to cram a lot. The book is all about the first ironclad warship of the U.S. Navy and its duel in Chesapeake Bay with the Confederate vessel Merrimac. The book starts with a biography of the ship's cantankerous Swedish inventor John Ericsson and his efforts to get the government bureaucracies of two continents to show interest in his his prophetic ideas for naval warfare (propeller engines, armor plating, torpedoes, revolving gun turrets). The book then talks about the labyrinthine maneuvers of Ericsson and his financial backers through the government contract process to get the ship built. Finally, the author describes in blow-by-blow detail the epic battle between the "cheesebox on a raft" Monitor and the vastly larger and better-armed Merrimac. Every page crackles with factual gems (e.g. The Civil War really was "brother against brother". The Merrimac's commander rammed and sank a Union ship while his brother was on board). Landlubbers and civilians need not be discouraged from reading this book. Engineering and naval concepts are presented in jargon-free language. The book can be finished in two or three days of casual reading. Great for the bathroom-er, uh, excuse me, head.

Who are you, really? T.D. Jakes asks the question and encourages us to show our authentic self, naked and not ashamed, as God sees us. Simple reading from a gentle messenger.

As a conservative Christian born and raised, reading this book helped me see just how much sin and shame i've been hiding. I now understand that Jesus loves me unconditionally and I don't have to hide what He already knows!

T.D. strikes again! I read a novel called "Waiting to Exit Hell," and it is one of the best novels I've read all year. This author boldly deals with the really real. Besides T.D. Jakes books, I highly recommend this book also. Not only does it "keep it real," but it provides entertainment as well, to keep your attention. A five star novel.

T.D. Jakes brings home a winner with this call to openess. Jakes discusses the need for openess with God and fellow Christians. The title comes from Genesis when Adam and Eve were naked before God, and walked with God. Jakes uses this imagery to call us to a deeper relationship with God, by dropping our outward protections and being totally honest with where we really are in life. This challenge is not for the faint of heart, but for those seeking to go to the next level. The only way up is to strip down.

I believe that Bishop TD Jakes is one of the most influence minister in this day and time. I offen say if I was in Texas that Bishop Jakes would be my pastor. He has help me out in some many ways. The title of the book alone gave me to courage to stand, by itself "Naked and not ashamed" how many time spiritually and physically I was ashamed about things I did not want to be reveal. But I have learned just by read and listing to Bishop Jakes along with my favor my Pastor how to get over hurt and pain. Thanks Bishop Jakes because of minister such as yourself you have help me as well as other women to get over it and still be save.

Mr. Stone has a sincere respect for God and His personal/descriptive Names in the OT and NT. Since it was written in 1944, much new manuscript information has come to light. For example, the personal Name of God has been found to be Yahweh by most Christian scholars. Jehovah has been determined to be incorrect, being formed by adding the Vowel points of Adonai to the Tetragrammaton, YHWH. This was done to keep from offending the traditionalist Jews who thought it too sacred to pronounce, and even the newest Bible translations use LORD in place of the personal Name of God, YHWH (Yahweh). Since LORD is a title, and not a name, I believe that we should use our God's real personal Name Yahweh in our translations and in our prayers.

I used this book when I taught an, "I Am Woman" class.

IT IS THE VERY GOOD BOOK FOR STUDENTS TO LEARN MORE. I BOUGHT THEM FOR MY FRIENDS. MANY THANKS. KEEP THE GOOD WORK.

This is a great book. God really taught me a lot through reading it. You really get a good sense of how the order in which the names of God were revealed is so important, as well as the historic events that acompanied each revelation. This book gave me a much better education in the names of God than I have ever recieved in a sermon or anything else. I hope you enjoy it too!

This book was recommended by our minister during a Bible Study class. I bought it from Amazon, and received it promptly. Good transaction.
Anyway, this book describes in detail the meanings and nuances of the other names that are translated in the Bible as 'God' or 'Lord'. Each word in the original Hebrew or Greek describes the very nature of GOD, ie, His personality.
PS. There is a doctrine that is referred to in this book that is taught and taken for granted by most (ie, Catholic and Protestant churches), but that does not fit in with the doctrines of the Church of God that are written of throughout the NT, and especially the book of Acts. The book of Acts describes the very beginnings of the Church right after Christ died. Nevertheless, all in all, besides sounding somewhat pious at times, this book is very good. It is of benefit especially to those who really want to get to know God, ie, Who He really is and His relationship with human beings.

This book was my favorite growing up. I would take it everywhere: to grandma's house; on doctor's visits. I had at the age of three! I still have parts of it. (I had to tear it apart when my cousins needed me to fax pages from it for their homework projects.)This book gives you a look at how we as Americans have advance upto the 1980's. The pictures are amazing and there is mythological information for each plantet and the sun (Apollo). It even gives scientic information like physics and math. There's a section on men and women scientist who's contributions make our world a better place.

When I was a child, I would borrow this book from the library as often as I could. It really sparked my interest in the solar system and space in general. Even though the information in the book is considered out-of-date, I believe it is still relevant today. It can stir anyone's interest in astronomy!

My parents had this book on our shelf since before I was born, and when I was old enough to pick it up and read it, I fell in love. Even if some of the text was beyond my comprehension, the illustrations were more than enough to capture my imagination and drive my interest in astronomy. As I got older and could understand more of my reading, the book became that much more important and influential for me. I used it as a resource for several reports through out elementary and middle school.

Sure, by this time, some of the information contained in the book is outdated and many new discoveries have been made, but the information that is there is a great resource for people of any age. I only remembered the book just now as I study for my Black Holes and Cosmic Evolution final, and how much I'd like to take a glance at it for some outside information!

Although fundamentally humanist, this book's presentation of the glories of creation is too perfect in color, imagination, tone of wonder and awe, and development-as-you-read to ignore. It was a major influence throughout my childhood on my love for science and what the rules of the universe are and what may lie in the future long after all of us are dead.
From Michael Collins' introduction through the history of man's understanding of creation to the section on the stars beyond the galaxy, "Our Universe" will draw you in and MAKE you love astronomy.

Besides my own copy, I have never seen another one of these books. It's a shame really, because this book combines information and illustration in the way only National Geographic can. The nine planets of our solar system make up the majority of text material here, which goes a long way in preserving the shelf life of this book.

Our Universe begins with a brief history of astronomy entitled from 'Sun Gods to Gamma Rays' and is written in a manner accessible for all ages. Gallant then proceeds to examine our solar system piece by piece, beginning with the sun and then the orbiting planets. Each planet is given its own chapter, complete with graphs of orbital patterns, atmospheric qualities and actual photographs if available. Stunning artwork is peppered throughout, and in my opinion makes this book a treasure.

Finally, Our Universe includes chapters on comets, asteroids and meteors, and the various galaxies outside our own Milky Way. It's a book that everyone can enjoy. Adults might learn something new, and the artwork will garner interest in kids to learn more about our universe.
