Turner Books

No doubt, Glenn W. Turner was at the top of his game in the 1970's. He was the Tony Robbins of his time challenging people to become all they could be and Daring Them To Be Great. And judging by the testimonials in this 275 page book, his methods worked.

'GWT CHANGED THE WORLD FOR ME' offers hundreds of inspiring stories about people who were down and out. People who started with nothing or deeply in debt and achieved extraordinary success.

Interesting too was a coment from Jackie Baker on page 184. Baker was referred to Turners company from an employment agency. When she got her first check she noted that GWT signed it personally and underneath his signature added GOD BLESS YOU! I am now doing the same thing when I sign my checks.

While you will not find any great techniques in this book, you will be inspired. If these people could turn their lives around starting where they did, just think what you could do! I highly recommend this book.

Also recommend The Magic Of Thinking Big.

After I heard about this book I had to purchase it. The reading was very basic, and depending upon the childs age he or she could read it on his or her own. The pictures really catch your attention, and the lesson is simple yet practical. I recommend this book for new parents, parents whose children like disney type products, and for those who are interested in good healthy practices for your children.

My only recommendation would be for the book to be available on hardcover. Paperback has the tendency of getting water damage especially when following the instructions with this type of book.

Overall it is a keeper that is why I want it in hardback:-)

This is a wonderful childrens' story that celebrates human differences and tells a story about how love and compassion conquers all! Just a super childrens' story.

Ann Turner's novel Hard Hit presents Mark, who has an enviable life as the star pitcher in school, with a new girlfriend, best friend and decent family. When his father is diagnosed with cancer, Mark's world is shattered and everything he takes for granted or believes in is questioned. Hard Hit tackles the tough questions of coping with death and life's changes.

I love this book!! It has some of the coolest vintage photos of any Harley related book I have seen. Lots of cool ads too!! My favorite part is the Harley-Davidson comics, and the story about riding on the frozen river!! I highly recomend this book for any motorcycle enthusiast!

If you, or a friend, are turning 40 - or 50 - this is the book to get for yourself, and/or to give as a gift. Along with the black crepe, the Over the Hill balloons and cards, this book is a baby boomer must have.

Most of the books I review are open for lending to family or friends - this book is an exception. It sits on my bedside table when it isn't accompanying me on trips that allow me to do a lot of reading. This chunky book offers me comfort and information as I move along in life.

In a Chapter called, "Making Changes That Last!" you'll find these words from the authors:

"One of the downers in midlife is recognizing that we are no longer protected by the invincibility of youth. One of its joys is recognizing that we now have the wisdom and experience we need to take control of our health and make choices that matter.

"The chapters that follow are filled with lots of sensible and practical suggestions based on the latest research. We would like to tell you that there is a new miracle drug to prevent cancer or reverse aging. That just isn't the case...Alas the road to good health in midlife remains largely dependent on three key ideas: a positive approach, moderation, and consistency."

You can pick this book up, choose any any chapter and find information, short stories of other Baby Boomers' experiences, short charts, and explanations. It begins with a small chapter on the Midlife Journey, and closes with a short chapter called Body, Mind and Soul.

In between, there are separate chapters on specific female and male issues (prostate cancer; male menopause; female menopause; breast cancer), as well as shared concerns. Memory loss, heart care, intimate relationships, the search for the Fountain of Youth, Healthy Eating, Exercise and much more are covered.

Best of all, at the end of every chapter is a reference list with more books to read, organizations, websites to visit and a cross-reference to other chapters in this book.

The thick paperback edition has an attractive cover, quite suitable as a gift. And if someone doesn't give it to you as a gift, do yourself a favor-- get yourself a copy!

Very helpful book with much needed help. I would recommend this book to any parent.

These two have been given numerous lifetimes to find each other but something always seems to go wrong. This is their last chance to make it work on earth and lucky for them, the power of heaven is on their side.

While in spirit form they are told that upon their first meeting one of them will immediately recognize the other as his or her only love, but he or she will have to work through numerous problems to finally win over the other.

Both Pru and Murdock are strong, fun, passionate and extremely likeable characters who you can't help but root for as they fight for a love that will last for all eternity.

But can they overcome all the obstacles? Can they work past a sixteen year age difference? Can they defeat the vandals that threaten their lives? And will they hold onto the love that they have been waiting their entire existence for?

As a docotr of Naturopathic Medicine, I find this book refreshingly simple, with down-to-earth methods and recipes for keeping a dairy herd healthy and productive. I compared my Veterinary Medicine Handbook of recent publication with Newman Turner's old-fashioned wisdom, and much prefer the book from Newman Turner. He has other accompanying books in print: "Fertility Farming" and "Fertility Pastures", and I intend to buy those as well. I guess that says a lot, when the book is so good that you want to buy everything the author writes.

Some of the Table of Contents from this book:
Establishing the Herd and the Basis of Practical Breeding
The Showing and Judging of Dairy Cattle
Management for Milk Production
Cattle Diseases: Prevention and Treatmemt

Books are college-level, extensive. Though, while they are extensive, they are an easy read and offer simplistic historical representation.
