Warren Books

I'm really surprised that there aren't any actual reviews of whether this books helped someone eliminate their debt. Gee, one review is from the author who quotes himself from his book... the other 2 reviews simply state that the book has some information in it but their is NO personal testimonial of someone who actually had debt and used this book to eliminate... that this book teaches the strategy in talking to credit card companies, etc...

I found the author's videos online when i was searching for the many "debt relief companies" that advertise on Air America Radio.

I was looking for comments on whether these companies work and which one i should recommend if any and i found Harvey Warren's 20 or more supposed educational videos.

All the videos say the same thing: go to his website and buy the book. i'd really like to know if these techniques work! There are so many of these books out there and Amazon.com is such a great way to find out which books are actually good.

I'm suspicious that no one real has reviewed this book. Seems like the 2 reviews that are not the author may have been sent by the author to post a "review".

Love to hear some real experience with this system he proposes.

Thanks!

This "how to get out of credit card debt " book provides a practical, meaningful tool. Each of the chapters - including those on credit counseling, debt settlement, bankruptcy, what happens to your credit rating - can be read and used one at time enabling the reader to focus on topics of immediate interest. The budget chapter, which recognizes there is no single "right choice" only the choice right for you, provides the tools needed to create the personalized foundation necessary to becoming debt free. It seems to me that this guy knows what he is talking about and a few hours spent reading this book can save the reader thousands of dollars and more importantly, needless credit damage.

This is an excerpt from the Introduction that I hope will help you better understand how important this book is to you if your sincerely want to avoid bankrupty... and foreclosure.

"Although personal responsibility is the fundamental first step in getting your financial house in order, I have always firmly believed that the credit card issuers have played a major role - and some suggest a dark role - in creating the current consumer debt crisis in America. I met with hundreds of good people who took responsibility for their debt and looked their financial disaster in the eye. All of them soon realized that the blame did not belong to them alone. They demonstrated to me that consumers in debt trouble are ready, willing, and able to rethink, reject, and release the habits and misconceptions they had about credit, avoid bankruptcy, and start building a durable financial future. This book has been written to help you take responsibility, just as they did; to support your desire to spare yourself the personal anguish and long-term financial consequences of bankruptcy; and to give you the skills you need to never again to be in anyone's debt."

The trick to getting out of debt is doing something, but first you need to know what to do.

This book crept to the heart of credit card debt straight away - the fact that most of us don't want to even know how much our debt is, or admit to ourselves that we've gotten into this mess in the first place. Debt is intensely personal.

Harvey Warren lays out the groundwork by showing us how the credit card companies work, how they set us up by luring us in with promotional awards, and give us more credit than we need. He does an excellent job in advising the consumer of the options and programs that are out there, what to do about the crushing shame that comes with overwhelming credit problems, and how to start to get out of the debt hole. This was a very informative book, and I highly recommend it to anyone struggling with overwelming credit card debt.

I read all three volumes back to back and I cannot wait for the forth volume to be released. This book is long, but worth the read. A must for any historian. Once you pick it up you cannot put it down. One of the best histories out there.

Warren Carroll is a wonderful historian and a wonderfull writer. Some people will criticize a book because it does not cover their pet topics. But Warren Carroll, more than many other historians out there, covers history objectively and masterfully. His History of Christendom is nothing short of engrossing.

"Glory of Christendom" represents the third volume of Dr. Carroll's history of Western Civilization. It is beautifully written and superbly documented. But, as we suspected at the conclusion of volume 2, there are flaws that seem to be more evident as the narrative moves along.

Herein, Dr. Carroll describes in considerable detail the saga of Edward I of England without ever mentioning that monarch's struggles with the Jewish minority that resulted in his expelling them from his realm. Similarly, he devotes a great deal of space to Isabella of Spain and her reconquest of the Iberian peninsula. Yet he mentions not her expulsion of the Jews in the corpus of his text, relegating this event to his footnotes. A pattern emerges. And, as at the conclusion of his previous volume, Dr. Carroll's prejudice relative to Orthodox Christianity reveals itself again, as he inexplicably relates the enmity of Orthodox Russia with the Roman Catholic Church to that of atheistic communism. Such a formulation reveals profound prejudice against the truth of the Holy and Apostolic Catholic Church on the part of Dr. Carroll.

Months after reading this book, we had occassion to reread Juri Lina's wonderfully interesting and important "Architects of Deception". Within this book, Lina describes in considerable detail the cross of the Knights Templar, those precursors of modern day freemasonry. For some reason, this description was familiar to me. On searching for this sigil on the Internet, I was shocked to see the very symbol that adorns each of Dr. Carroll's histories. This blood red blunted cross he so proudly displays is the symbol of the notorious Knights Templar. Carroll describes in the present volume the suppression of the Templars by Phillip IV of France and Pope Clement XIV. Carroll lets us know herein that when Templar Grand Master de Molay was executed, he cursed both the King and the Pope, both of whom died within the year. Think of the breathtaking audacity of this. Carroll here implicity acknowledges his belief in the literal efficacy of cursing to death the rightful King of France and the duly elected Holy Father. How an author who would articulate such a position could claim to be a sincere Catholic is quite beyond understanding.

How simple it is to turn frustration into peace. The author takes one bible quote and in one or two pages explains and applies it to life's everyday hassles. By the time I read one every day, hassles really become petty! The author's writing is clear and easy to read, and he makes you feel as though you can effortlessly apply each one to your everyday life. I felt as though each one was a simple solution to a more peaceful daily life. If each one page chapter were printed on the front page of the morning paper for everyone to read each day, the world would be a more pleasant and friendlier place.

Even after reading just the first few chapters of this book, I was left feeling motivated and uplifted. It is a book that gently guides you through the problems many of us face. This book covers those things in life that overwhem us such as worry, anger, relationships etc. I definitely found encouragement from all the advice the author shares. He writes it in such a honest and loving manner that made me want to become a better person in God's eyes. I highly recommend it!

I received this book as a gift and highly recommend it! Easy & fast reading....with very meaningful short essays relating to everyday life. It is a must purchase for you & friends that are looking for ways that God can move in your life.

This book is one of the greatest books that I have ever read. The reason for saying this is that the book's genre, adventure, is one of my personal favorites, plus James Fennimore Cooper is my second favorite author. The book is loaded with imagery. It sparks your imagination into picturing just exactly where you are at and who is involved in the story that could possibly be around you.
When you first start reading you get caught in the elaborate setting. You are given a straight out setting of a hot summer day in July 1757. Immediately you're imagination is caught in the building of the stories plot.
I would strongly recommend this book to all ages. This book gives you some history and a lot of rising-falling action to keep you reading. There is no strong language but there is some death. It can be overcome, to read a great book. You will more than likely be stunned by the ending, because ... you'll have to read it to find out.
Once you pick up this book you won't be able to put it down. There are so many twists, surprises, and exciting spots in the book that you will want to read the rest of what is happening. Before you know what has happened you are lurched into another portion of the exciting plot. It is well written with several leads to each part of the book. You will end up wanting to read the story again to see what you missed the first time through.

Last of the Mohicans is one of the more accessible Deerslayer novels, I'll grant. But to call it unreadable and boring because no one can understand it is just plain unfair. I suggest if you find this book difficult then try acclimating yourself to more modern uses of the language at first. T.H. White is a wonderful place to start, then maybe some Patrick O'Brian, on to Dickens, maybe the Morte D'Arthur, etc... The main thing here is, of course, to get used to reading different (older) forms of the English language. Once you get into it, it's really a great experience. There's such a wealth of imagery and culture and history in this book that it'd be a shame to ignorantly toss it off as elitist or unnecessary. Just the opposite: it's mind expanding and greatly insightful. And a whole lot of fun!

The Last of the Mohicans is a great book. I read it 3 months ago. I saw the movie and that's cool too.
It's about two ladies and a guy are going to their father. Onthe way there attacked. Then Hawkeye and two other indians save them. They take them to their father,but are attacked many mor times on the way.
It's full of action and fighting. It's awsome.
You shoud read it. It's great!

Great for explaining to kids about what it was like in the Depression. A fantastic "oral history".

This book was really fun and went back to a simpler time, when radio was the electronic media, the bicycle was a kid's main transportation, and families functioned together.

This book is filled with imagery. It makes you dream of a world gone by. It reminds us that we all have a story to tell. I loved it.

I WANT TO KNOW ABOUT COSO

I WANT TO KNOW ABOUT COSO

The Handbook of IT Auditing (formerly the Handbook of EDP Auditing) is the definitive work on the subject. Written by many contributors from the field of information technology audit (primarily partners and managers of the Big Five Professional Services firm PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP), it contains a top to bottom approach for evaluating the IT function of an organization. The methodology includes a menu for how to examine controls over changes to applications, computer security and computer operations. The book is fully COSO (Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission) compliant and therefore COBIT compliant as well.

Everything was great! The book was in good condition the book itself the read is wonderful got to pick you up a copy

The bipolar tarot card reader Warren Ritter returns in another installment of this enjoyable series. Warren is trying to change himself and settle down and yet longs for his old life back. A life where he thought he had things under control. Having control of one's own life is an illusion for many if not all as Warren is told early on in this novel.

There are those who seek control or to surrender control in their sexual lives. They become part of the BDSM lifestyle and incorporate the idea of control into their sexual lives. It is a lifestyle far removed from his outdoor tarot reading at the corner of Telegraph and Haste in Berkeley, California and something Warren knows absolutely nothing about.

That changes when his lover and computer expert, Sally McLaughlin, asks for his help. A paraplegic, Sally never asks for help. This time she does because her friend Therese has been arrested for murder. Therese is a professional dominatrix and a client of her has died. The evidence implicates Therese. Sally feels that she owes Theresa in so many ways. Once Vera, Therese's personal live in submissive, tells all to Sally there isn't anyone or anything that is going to stop Sally from proving Therese innocent.

Warren has been involved in three murder cases recently and twice has been the subject of police manhunts because of those murder cases. His initial reaction is to say no and his reaction is certainly understandable. Still, as readers expect, he eventually comes around and offers his help. To do so, he must immerse himself in the lifestyle of BDSM and must receive a crash course in the same from Vera.

Not to be left out, Heather, jumps in with both feet and business attire to work undercover on the case. Sally, Heather and Warren bumble and stumble their way through the undercover assignments with Warren finding out far more about himself than anything else.

Told through the shifting pov of all three characters, the novel chronicles an alternative lifestyle not familiar to many readers and a hunt for a killer. This forth installment of the series tackles a subject with dignity and class that could be controversial for some readers. Various aspects of the life style are discussed in depth and with respect. This is not a book designed to titillate or arouse and the story elements are not gratuitous. Instead, much like secondary characters, this area is explored and explained but never allowed to take over the story.

The BDSM angle is just another point of investigation to work the case and is treated as such in a mature fashion. So too is the main character of Warren Ritter who continues to evolve and change as he attempts to normalize an often chaotic life. Whether he is controlling his daily meds to treat his disease, his emotional reactions to the undercover work, or his control of his natural fleeing response to stress, the character is striving hard to become one again with a world that he tried to distance himself from for so many years.

The result is another good novel in the series. These are not run of the mill characters and this certainly has not been a run of the mill series. In this day of cookie cutter books put out by publishers who often moan that there isn't anything different and then do nothing to encourage diversity in reading material, it is a good thing to read another novel in a series that has been good and different from the beginning.

If you're someone who reads to experience life through well-developed characters, to better understand the human condition, then David Skibbin's Tarot Card Mystery series is for you. If you're someone who reads to be titillated by cackling serial killers or being exposed to the dregs of life, well, you might want to look elsewhere for your reading material. If you're after a mystery puzzle novel, look elsewhere as well. Skibbins writes characters, full-blooded, mixed up characters that leap off the page and it's the mystery plots that are along for the ride, though interesting in their own right.

In the fourth, and latest book for instance, the plot pivots on the arrest of Therese, a dominatrix, for the murder of one of her clients. This suggests a lot of sex, bizarre sex, and a lot of low-life descriptions. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Rather, Therese once helped friend of Sally McLaughlin, a paraplegic computer genius, out of a bad situation and Sally is determined to return the favor. She gets her lover, Warren Ritter and Warren's daughter Heather to help her find the killer by having all three of them go undercover. Warren (chief protagonist of the series), who is a bipolar guy with significant dependence/independence issues, is tasked with infiltrating the world of dominance/submission. `Skibbins uses his skills as a psychotherapist to explain these relationships by having Warren deal with them both internally and externally, while providing interesting and informative, but not graphic descriptions of this unconventional world.

And so it is with all of the Tarot Card Mysteries. They are more about the trials and troubles of Sally, Warren and the supporting cast of characters than about the mysteries themselves in much the same way as Robert Parker's "Spenser" series is about Spenser and Hawk than about a particular mystery plot.

I recommend reading Eight of Swords, High Priestess, The Star and Hanged Man in the order in which they were written, not because you must; each represents a well-told traditional mystery. Rather, I recommend it because Skibbins write characters that are more fascinating than simply what they are doing and like all fascinating characters, you want to know where they've been and Skibbins paints characters from the inside out and they're simply delightful.

This is a heartwarming look into the soul of a man. As his grandson, I literally saw some of the same things the author saw, yet was deeply touched by his perspective. It was interesting to read another's take on some subjects that may otherwise be considered mundane, only to flip the page to read a very personal account that was so full of emotion. I was particularly touched by his feelings revealed in a poem about the passing of his oldest child, Connie. She was my mother and she died when I was too young to think about all the other people who lost her too! This is a book I will read many, many times over. Thank you, everyone, for the effort to put this book together! - Jeff Kothe

The poems in this collection range from amusing to moody, from pastoral to tavernesque, from interesting to thoroughly enjoyable. Written over Warren's lifespan of 84 years while living in Iowa, sailing the Pacific during the War, and working as a salesman and teacher in the Midwest, these poems will touch your heart as they have mine. You may recognize your place in the scene of some of these poems. Or you may identify with the emotions of the characters vividly painted with Warren's pen. Either way, this is a unique collection of American poems that are easy to read and easy to enjoy.

Piers Warren's "The Hatters Go West" is an absolute classic! It's irresistible, lovable and as effortlessly entertaining as a book can be for children and adults alike -- and anyone who loves animals will simply cherish it. Warren writes with heart, warmth and such a unique humor that it catches the reader off guard. More than once, I laughed myself right off my chair! I highly recommend it for everyone, and can't wait to read what happens with the Hatters on their next adventure!

Well done, Warren!! Utterly charming work!

It has been many years since I have read such an enjoyable book for children.

The colourful characters and their escapades jump off of each page as one is swept away by the journey they decide to undertake.

The author has a gift like Mr. Dahl in that one wishes to inhabit the world that he weaves. I am going to buy more - for my younger relatives and also for my adult friends.

It is quite simply a timeless book, long may the Hatters live!

This book was fantastic! For readers aged 8-11, this wacky story is funny, exciting, weird, and what's more you can't put it down.

I think that the best part of this book is the characters. The dad is one of my favourite characters ever in a book. I love the way he always gets the wrong end of the stick and all of his weird and wonderful remedies: the way he puts goose-fat on his forehead to help find Lupin who has run away to look for their mother.

This is a very fun read and the animals are amazing: my personal favourite is Mr Nose the giant anteater, who is great!

I rate this book nine out of ten, a must-read for those who want a short light book but also want to be entertained

This is a book you won't put down til you've finished it.
It has you laughing and crying. The characters are excellent. Rock is name of the male lead and the trouble he ends up in has you laughing. The female lead of the story helps Rock McCall get in trouble. What makes it funny is you never expect it to happen.

I'm hoping that she'll write books about Rock's brothers because I think they would have interesting stories as well.

I loved this book. And have asked many, many people if Heather Warren has writen the books that continue with the brothers. I would love to know if she has, and if so where can I find them.

My sister wrote this book. It is her first book, and she did a wonderful job. The story grabs and holds on to you until the very end, always throwing in a surprise or two. You'll never know what's going to happen next. If you like romance novels, you'll love this one.
