Way Books

This book is amazing. I have spent countless hours perusing photography books-trying to capture what makes a photograph something extraordinary - and Mark definitely has found it. It's everything from the soft tones of his images - to his unique simple view of the world. I really enjoy this collection of images - I will treasure them for years to come!

ALONG THE WAY is a brilliant collection of photographs by photographer, Mark Citret of Daly City, CA. This book includes black and white landscape and archictectural images that cover more than 25 years of photographing by the artist. Each photograph evokes an appreciation of Mr. Citret's talent. ALONG THE WAY also offers us gifts of everyday images we may have passed by without noticing that have been skillfully and beautifully captured by this remarkable artist.

ANY BEGINING AND ADVANCED PHOTOGRAPHER WILL LEARN THE ART OF SEEING! JUST STUDY EACH PHOTOGRAPH AND THE PROCESS OF SEEING PHOTOGRAPHICLY WILL BEGIN! THIS BOOK IS A CLASSIC. THANK YOU MARK FOR GIVING US THIS AWAKENING.

When I saw a few images from this astonishing collection published in View Camera magazine, I was bowled over by them and ran out to buy a copy of the book and boy, am I glad I did.

Citret's photographs are inspirational, not only because of the sheer quality of the images and the skill with which they have been printed, but because so many of them are of such ordinary things which become beautiful in the eye of the photographer. Check out the photograph of a hotel shower room, or the strange bare concrete interior that's used as a cover image. What they say, to me at least, is that I should keep my eyes open to the ordinary, because almost anything can make a good photograph but you have to see it first.

Each photograph in this volume is a gift. From intricate architectural patterns to visions he persuades from the mists, Mark Citret is an artist in every sense of the word.

I think this book is very helpful to all slang or informal language normally use in their life, explain very carefully the means for all expressions. I think is a good book to buy mostly for people is in learning english.

Well, 52 weeks may be a litte bit too long but it works finally. And it is easy to follow up. Try it!

Ihis is a new way to improve our english by reading something you like. It was so nice to put everything together as a book, which can be easily carried along with you.

Excellent reference book

This book is the most helpful and valuable book that I have ever read as a second language speaker of English. The daily idiomatic expressions in American English were always nightmare for me before I had started to read and study this book.
The idioms are uniquely classified into different categories with its week-by-week methodology. The usage of everyday English explanations and illustrations makes idioms easy to understand. Every second language speaker of English should have this book in order to communicate effectively in English.

When our dog was scheduled for amputation of a front leg due to bone cancer, we read this book with our nine-year-old son, to get him used to the idea. The main character's companion expresses all the questions and fears that a child normally has, and gives the amputee a chance to say, basically, we all wish things were different, but I'm going to be OK.

It's very well written and illustrated, and after reading this book and talking about it a lot, our son was ready to act positive and upbeat when we brought our dog home. Key word: "act." We all agreed that it's OK to leave the room and cry if that's how we feel, but we need to be upbeat around our dog, for her sake. As it happened, our dog gave us ample reason to be genuinely upbeat, and there have been only a few bouts of sadness.

This book made the adjustment much easier for our son. Highly recommended.

I have met the author when she visited my school she is very nice, My teacher read us this story because the author came and everybody loved it. It teaches you people do get better. It is a great book for children and teaches a great lesson.

I teach a summer class about different dog breeds. I use episodes of Breed All About It from Animal Planet channel. The episode was about Springer Spaniels, and this book as well as the author were featured. This inspired me to purchase the books for an after-school program I run. I love dogs and I am also an EMT, this is a great way to incoporate both of my interests into the program and help those children who made need to deal with this issue at a point in their lives.

This is a sweet book about two family pets--Springer spaniels--and how they communicate when Annie, the older dog, loses her leg to cancer. The mischievious younger dog Max brings a smile to all with his antics and attitude. This is an excellent tool for getting kids to use their imagination, talk about writing, mental and visual images. This book sets the stage for the author's later books with more adventures for Max and Annie.

I had heard about the book on a television program which showed how this book was being read in hospitals to children who were cancer patients in order to help them understand the reasons for surgery, treatment, etc. So I purchased this book for my 4 year old daughter after learning that I had myself had breast cancer, and required a mastectomy.

In this book, Annie, a dog, gets cancer. Her owners take her to the veterinarian for surgery. When Annie comes home, she only has three legs. Max, her dog brother, doesn't understand this. Annie explains that she lost her leg in order to save her life!

This book is wonderful! It really helped my daughter understand my situation in a way that only good children's literature can!
(I am a 14 year veteran public school teacher, by the way, so I know good children's literature when I see it!)

If you, your child, a family member, your pet, or anyone else you know is going through this horrible disease, get this book and read it to your child!

(I am happy to report that I am now cancer-free, by the way!)

This is an informative & well crafted read that allows the reader to glimpse the grace, strength & determination of a family - especially & specifically the women of this faimly - that held them together on 'Hare-Track'/'The Place'/'Down Home' and consequently continues to be the foundation of what is now 5 generations removed. This book does an excellent job of allowing all who read it to experience the sense of family pride that I have known all my life. (Well done Cousin, well done.)

This is a wonderful read. Beautifully written, and a fascinating bio of an exceptional woman whose life spans a time of crucial transition in American history. Everyone should read this book.

Another Way Home takes the reader through a time that first seems long gone, but surprises with its current influence and meaning. At first blush the story tells of the societal strictures of the South against mulattos. Gradually, the reader realizes that the book is actually about the development of identity and the hurdles society puts in the path of individuals. The book becomes less about the tensions of black and white, and more about the importance of solid values, courage and self-confidence. Ultimately it is these three critical traits in Day Rone that enable her to create the life she wants with the man she loves, and to raise a gifted family of solidy rooted individuals. Day Rone shares everything with my Sicilain grandmother and my husband's Irish mother -- proving that we are more like one another beneath the skin than we are different. The book engages from the first page because it speaks to every family. Beautifully written, imaginatively presented, and too true to be fiction, it makes for an entertaining and moving reading experience. It's a book worth reading so that we do not forget the struggles of the past, and also so that we can see the strong women who shape our own lives.

Another Way Home, by Ronne Hartfield, works for me on three levels: 1) it tells the ever-interesting story of a woman (Hartfield's mother) who grew up a mulatto in the segregated South, then passed for white in Chicago; 2) it is a strong and powerful tribute by Hartfield to her mother, beautifully and lyrically told; and 3) it moves from the personal to the universal, reminding us all of the family continuum we are born into and the remarkable people our parents often are.

This book is a history lesson told through personal anecdote. As it wends its way through Day Rone's journey from South to North, the reader is given an up-close look at the celebrations, achievements and tragic loss of a remarkable American family. Celebrating Day Rone's life will lead you to want to celebrate your own family, too. I strongly recommend this book.

Why isn't this on the best seller list? Ronne Hartfield's family history is beautifully written, covering not only her family's transition from Mississippi to Chicago but black history as well. I grew up in a white neighborhood in Chicago. This book let me step into a parallel universe! Hartfield also covers women's changing roles over a century. The loving relationships among family members are a model and inspiration for all of us.

This book is written with easy to understand directions. I am doing some home renovations and have been able to do most by myself with the help of this book.

I love my husband, but he's definitely not a Mr. Fixit kinda guy, so I used to have a handyman on speed dial. Every time I called him it would cost me at least $75, once it cost me $1,300! "Jane" is lot cheaper, plus I love that it's written by women--it's like having a really helpful girlfirend who believes tools aren't just for men and gives you the confidence to do it yourself.

The BE JANE Home Improverment book is great. Easy to get to the info you want, layed out well for easy reading, and clear instructions with great pictures to help guide you. I think this is the first home improvement book I've actually just sat down and read! This is a perfect book to get for a daughter or friend living on her own! I just bought one for my niece who just moved into her first "real" place!

Heidi and Eden are two girls that know what they are talking about. The book is very well laid out and instructions are clear cut. I've been fans of these "Janes" for awhile so when I saw that they had a book, I had to be one of the first to get it. I'm very glad that I did. One of my favorite and most interesting projects in the book is changing the face of your appliances to stainless steel. I was planning on buying all brand new appliances until I learned that you could do it with stainless steel adhesive. These girls definitely rock! If you are a first time homeowner like me and short on money to pay a contractor, then this book is a must!

I really love the way the book is laid out. Very useful information combined with great photos and inspiration for why you should take on home improvement! This book makes home improvement approachable and is truly empowering as the title suggests.

This is a pretty book and tastefully presented. My wife found it to be quite inspirational for Lent.

Scrturally devotional and very inspiring to pray the Stations in a contemporay way in union with the Holy Father and the univesal Church

A poetic and beautifully significant Via Crucis, to instill in us Christ's trip to Calvary..in preparation for the Resurrection on Easter Sunday. Each station is prayerful yet theologically inspired. Full of the Face of Human Warmth. Written by our present Pope.Prayed on the last Good Friday of the life of the beloved Pope John Paul II.

This is a beautiful book in which Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger (now Pope Benedict XVI) sets forth the Stations which he gave for Lent 2004 at the request of the late Pope John Paul the Great before the latter's death. Like all of Pope Benedict's writings, his message is clear and concrete and it is very easy to read and understand by everyone. Each station is accompanied by a thoughtful and prayerful meditation, as well as a beautiful picture depicting the particular Station of the Cross upon which to dwell as you pray the stations with the help of this book. The meditations are a true masterpiece of love by Il Papa, Il Grande Innamorato - Pope Benedict XVI.

This is a new one for me, with amazing artwork and deep meditations. As a new read on an old topic this one really shook things up for me. It drew me in to the meditations and prayers in a new and intriguing ways.

Buried Treasure adds a deeply human and Godly element to the kinds of work I do with Hebrew words at [...]. Whereas Edenics is the science of Hebrew, Rabbi Lapin's unearthed golden dubloons reflect The Sacred Tongue's ethical and social wisdom.

Sure, there are occasional treatments of Hebrew where there might be technical weaknesses. For exaple, why compare HoRiM (parents) to distantly related words for "early rains" or "shooting a bow?" It is HaRim (mountains -- which we look up to, get refuge and revelation from) that is the better fit with HoRiM (parents), and with the Hey-Resh of pregnancy (when a woman HILLS up with child). But Rabbi Lapin smoothly and profoundly makes his insightful points with these Hebraicisms.

We are pointed towards tradition and away from harmful contemporary trends
in a most natural, positive and loving way. It is impossible to read Buried Treasure and not wish that we had Rabbi Lapin and family as our lifelong neighbors.

--Isaac Mozeson

I have recomended this book to my friends and family because I have learn a lot from it, and I consider it very profound.

Rabbi Daniel Lapin, known for his penetrating insights into the country's political clashes (see ``America's Real War''), gets back to more traditional rabbinic fare in ``Buried Treasure,'' an examination of key words in the Hebrew language.
Rabbi Lapin informs us that Hebrew is more like mathematics (perhaps that's why I'm lousy at math and also break my teeth on Hebrew) than it is like another language. Thus the Torah (the Jewish Bible) is a complex data stream, a long computer program that explains all of reality, the rabbi says.
Delving deeply into a Hebrew word yields important lessons that if incorporated into the way one lives makes the person and the world a better place.
Reading a word backwards is another way to derive meaning, Rabbi Lapin says. Also, numerical analysis using the ancient Jewish numbering system known as gemetria (in which attached to consonants are fixed numerical values) is helpful. Vowels are of secondary importance, Rabbi Lapin says. In fact, Hebrew roots can be vowelized in different ways to derive additional meanings, he says.
The chapter on the verb Paleil, which approximately means ``I pray'' in English, should be reviewed periodically by those desiring to keep their prayers from becoming a rote mechanical exercise.
Orthodox Jewish sensibilities might be slightly offended by the book's cover which features a Siddur (Jewish prayer book) in dirt as well as by the fact that the Orthodox Rabbi Lapin admits to having a video player in his home so that his family can occasionally - gasp! - watch movies.
But, make no mistake, ``Buried Treasure'' is a kosher book and a refreshing book. The work is very approachable and readable. No previous experience with Hebrew is required. The chapters are short which is surprising considering the depth of the material.
Rabbi Lapin is internationally known for his ability to give over Jewish wisdom in practical, useful ways. Some rabbis might imagine the height of spirituality is prattling in Yiddish about what some commentator said 1,000 years ago about an arcane aspect of Jewish law. It is pleasing to see a rav leave the ivory tower to teach important life lessons from the Holy Torah that benefit all people. Such a man is practicing true Chesed (kindness).

This book is so enjoyable to read that you may be surprised how much you are learning and gleaning from its insights. This book has great examples of how to apply lessons to your day-to-day life. I loved Rabbi's other book, but this is great in a totally different way. It is non-political but still has a lot to say on th best way for us to organize our relationships, relate to our Maker, and become successful in our professional lives. This book made me want to meet the author and ask his advice on everything- which most 'self help' books do not usually do. I heartily recommend it.

The title for this book is perfect. Rabbi Lapin uses details about the Hebrew language as a springboard to wisdom. I first learned about Rabbi Lapin when he filled in for a local talkshow host. This book is not about politics as you would expect. Instead it is a collection of essays about relationships, parenting, and business.

Some of his explanations of Hebrew grammar are flaky as are his flights of gematria (studies using the numeric values of the Hebrew letters). But they are not the point. The point of the book is to teach life lessons based on Hebrew words - that the Torah is a guidebook for successful living.

This information-dense book will give you an important start on dealing with any security issue likely to arise in your business. Had a mugging in your parking lot? Here's how to make your employees and customers safer. Had a customer skip out on a large debt? This is where to go and what to do to get your money back. Want to do a background check on someone? Look here and find out how.

I have been dealing with keeping my companies' employees and funds safe for decades. I still learned a quite a bit from this book, and will be keeping it handy for future reference. Buy it. Read it. Apply it. If even one technique is needed, you will have more than repaid your time, money and effort.

Having been in the pool business for 25 years, I know how busy and hectic daily routines can be. Reading a book is the last thing I have time to do. Business Security is loaded with great subjects that I can look up and read only a few pages to learn what I need to know. I feel safer with the knowledge I've collected from the many different articles offered in this realistic, post 9-11 based book. I highly recommend this book to anyone, whether business related or not, to use as a "security dictionary" whenever the need arises.

As a security consultant and author, I found this to be a great reference that I refer to again and again. This is a great read for both large and small business owners who understand their responsibilities in a post 9/11 world. Nice Job!! Robert Siciliano

The scenarios in this book are very helpful in protecting yourself from a lot of grief. Things you don't ordinarily think about is pointed out to alert you of potential safety risk. It my be titled Business Security, but some of the safety measures can be taken for the individual and ordinary person. The book is an interesting book to read and entertaining. Some items are even good for group discussions. I gave it 5 stars because the book is easy to read and there is useful informantion in it for everyone whether you own a business or not.

This book can be regarded as a very useful manual for business
persons, especially also working international about avoiding
problems in their daily activities, also using modern media,
incl. the Internet.

Pastor Tillery has done an awesome job of encouraging us to change the way we think? In just browsing through the book, I was personally inspired to change my thinking. This book will definitely help those who are seeking Christ at the next level.

This book will challege you to step up to another level in Christ. God is trying to get us to a place were we are thinking like him, but if we don't allow our minds to be open to God we will never step up to the next level. Pastor Tillery is so determine to see God move in the lives of his people and to see the people come out of where they are and live the abundant life that God has created.

"Change the Way You Think" is certainly a book that is much needed for this season and timeframe the Body of Christ is embarking upon. The underlying and main message throughout this book remained the same. If the reader can grasp hold to the contents within the pages of this book their lives will forever be changed. Author Tillery makes it very clear that if we become free in our minds, we can become free in every area and aspect of our life. ~That is powerful.~ I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to experience all that God has in store for them!

I would sum up Pastor's book with one verse that he highlights in Chapter Five from the Apostle Paul. In Ephesians we are prayed for that God would give us a Spirit of wisdom and understanding so that we may know Him more. It is through this understanding and knowing of Christ that we are able to enter into a new dimension, says Mr. Tilery. His mention of the Seven-fold annointing on page 13 of his book, which rested upon Jesus and which should rest upon us as we grow in Christ, encouraged my soul with a mind-altering flame. He remindes me to change my thinking in that "[Iam]seated in heavenly places with Christ" as Ephesians reveals. I have been most encouraged to recall and to not forget my identity in Christ. You have refreshed my soul with "noble thoughts" and I recommend this book to any new or old believer still unsure as to who you are in Christ.

Sincerely,
Christine Rhay

I found this to be an awesome anointed book written to take the body of Christ to another level. It challenges the mindset of God's people to change the way they think. Pastor Tillery has tapped into the heart of God in writing this book and I would reccommend this book to anyone who wants to see God move in a totally different way. In the season we are in with God this book will definitely challenge traditional mindsets and religous thinking people to take on the mind of Christ. I give it the highest rating of 5 stars.

From the sublime to the outrageous, Chaosicon wins with its quotable dialogue and ability to masterfully paint fearful visions in the brain - and keeps them there for years to come. Leppek and Isler crash-land a 747 of a story on your mind!

I was captured from the first page on! The reading was outstanding and I couldn't put it down. I will recommend this book to all of my friends and anyone who loves a well written, captivating book.

For those who cannot get enough of Stephen king, it's time to set your sights on Chaosicon. A journey into pure evil through mysticism and chance, delights even the more skeptical of palates. This is one book that even I had a difficult time putting down. I'll definitely keep an eye open for future releases by these authors.

He gleefully lived while the plague terrorized Europe and enjoyed collecting the dead. He cheerfully lived when Vlad Tempes used creative but refined means of torturing souls. He merrily lived while encouraging the French to guillotine Louis and others, collecting Le Roi's head as a trophy. He happily lived as he chose who died within the gas chambers of Auschwitz and the other atrocities that were a 24-7 operation.

He calls himself Cerf, but he is not human or demon. Instead he is chaos and anarchy with a mission to see the world destroy itself. He makes his last stand in Coffeyville, Kansas as he spreads bedlam in widening circles. His only opponents are a mere rabbi, a priest, and a telepathic. Minor league humans, but Cerf does feel a twinge of fear due to Abigail the telepathic who has the means with the help of her religious cronies to stop his rising tide of destruction.

While not quite as grandiose as THE STAND, Christopher Leppek and Emanuel Isler have created a supernatural horror novel that will appeal to fans of the genre's grandmasters. There are fantasy elements to CHAOSICON that will appeal to that genre's readers. The story line is fun and Cerf is quite the villain while Abigail is a strong opponent. This cross genre novel will allow Misters Leppek and Isler to stand tall among Koontz, Barker, Lackey, and Huff.
