I love this book! I first saw Sex Flex when I went to a friend's house. He had it on his desk right next to his muscle mags. I laughed when I saw it. A guide for working out with your partner while being intimate? Hah! No way!!!!! (In all truth, I was a little excited by the idea.)

A week later, I broke down and bought it, especially since my girlfriend and I had been having some problems budgeting quality time. Now, we can't get enough of Sex Flex. We've worked our way through all of the exercises - and we've even made up some of our own. (If the authors are interested, they can contact me at the above e-mail address!)

Thanks to the authors for their great info and the solid base on which to build new exercises. My relationship's the better for it!

This book was great! My wife and I are very busy, and this is great for us to spend some time together. We get to do something that we both enjoy. We are also more limber than we have been in a long time! The pictures were great. Nina and John really looked like they were having a good time, which actually made it easier for us to relax. Reading the credits, I was pleased to see the use of an actual couple for the photos, and not just two models who didn't know each other. That way when I see them smiling in the pictures, I know it is genuine.

This book offers creative and unique approaches to enhanced intimacy for couples. Not only does it offer techniques to improve personal physicality, it gives couples the opportunity to better themselves as a pair. Having been married for less than a year, my husband and I found this book to be a way to bond and improve the more intimate aspects of our relationship. The husband and wife models did a great job and were easy to identify with. We will incorportate this into our lifestyle for years to come.

Last summer I bought Mr. Frediani's GOLF FLEX, for my husband, to help him improve his flexibility for golf. He loved it! This year he bought me SEX FLEX for us!Since I don't golf doing SEX FLEX gives us intimate time together. Not only are we getting a wonderful workout(and lots of giggles), as shown in the SEX FLEX PLAY chapter, we really enjoy the stretching routine.We have found that doing the stretches together is not only improving our posture and fitness but also our communication skills. We highly recomend it!

I have read several books that Mr. Frediani has authored. His focus on flexiblitiy leads a trend quickly becoming integrated into all aspects of body maintainance. The strength of this particular book is the use of flexibiltiy training as an avenue to develope and/or increase communication between cupples. The directions are easy to follow, the picutres informative, and this quiet time spent with your partner invaluble. I have been married for over 25 years. I highly reccomend this book. It provides yet another way to meaningfully interact with your partner.

A tremendous amount of invaluable information regarding the attainment of simple happiness is packed into Jim Ryan's easy-to-use, yet profound book. Mr. Ryan has done a remarkable job of writing in a very down-to-earth manner how our thoughts affect our behavior, and he points out many positive actions we can take as well. This book is all about solutions! His message has inspired me to look at things differently, resulting in greater joy in my life, and I am certain it will do the same for anyone who reads this book.

This book is elegant in its simplicity. The simple wisdom that's given in this book makes it exceptionally useful and yet easy to grasp. Simple is best ... especially in these times of conflict and complexity in our lives. Jim Ryan's upbeat approach, combined with these simple homilies, makes this book not only easy to read, but highly effective as well. The chapters are short and easy to digest -- you can read a chapter a day ... or be so tacky as to keep it in your bathroom and read a chapter a 'sitting'. I rarely read self-help books - most of them are from people who need help themselves! This one is the real thing and highly, highly recommended

A fabulous easy-to-read book that will inspire you to be a better person. I've learned a great deal from this book. I definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to live a "happy" life.

Mr. Ryan has written a book that anyone can read and find guidance from. It is simply written yet filled with sophisticated insights for living. I keep my copy readily available and pick it up and reread it now and again when I need a reminder of how joyful life should be.

Like the book says, changing your life, your attitude, your outlook won't happen overnight. It takes small steps in our conscious and unconsious selves to attain happiness, simple happiness. This book offers a really basic approach using sound principles and a refreshing confidence in the human spirit to help ordinary people better their lives, and thus the lives of everyone they touch. I reread it often and share it with with the people I meet, through recommendation, gift, and through my new attitude.

This as well as the lot of Martin Luther's works are a good motivational and inspirational tool. Since I started getting Martin Luther with the movie Luther, I have lost 180 pounds. I can burn 205 calories in 10 minutes! Unlike ghetto online "covens," Lutheran churches are a good way to get to know people and know a pastor as a personal friend and spritual mentor. I have been baptized Lutheran and am one session away from completing adult confirmation, and am in monthly attendance at my local church. While the Church of Satan promotes a fat and unhealthy lifestyle at a mere 300 members, there are 9 million every year in Pilgrim Lutheran alone and promotes a healthy and safe lifestyle change. I "eat" one energy drink now called a diety supplement for breakfast daily and don't pig out on meals. Gluttony is a sin, sinner! Luther recommends the Lord's Prayer, 10 Commandments and Apostles Creed as well as fasting between meals. Amen!

This is a beautiful and thoughtful gift - for yourself or a friend. Whether new Christian or seasoned believer, many of us find ourselves wondering, "how should I pray?" or "how might my prayer life be better?"

Originally a response to his barber's honest question, Martin Luther's answers are still as rich and relevant as when they were first penned.
This book is not as intense as most of Luther's writings, so it's an easy read and encouraging reference.

Rather than a checklist or scripted answer, Luther guides us into scripture and a personal time of intercession. With beautiful and practical ideas from Luther's own experience, it offers a welcome rest from the many "how to" books on prayer.

This writing predates the immense divisions of the modern church's denominations, and it will be appreciated by nearly anyone.

This is a very small book containing Martin Luther's response to his barber's questions about prayer. This is a book that can be read within the confines of an hour, but reveals both thoughts and techniques about prayer that the serious minded Christian will want to take with them and apply for a lifetime.

When it comes to the subject of prayer, there is no shortage of books and other materials that are available for Christians to peruse. But this little book by Luther is quite substantive not only in its approach to prayer, but also in its attitude of total reverence. In many ways, the book is a recital of a number of Luther's actual prayers and this provides an extremely insightful look not only into the prayer life of Martin Luther but also about the scope of prayer that Luther adopted. I suspect many modern readers will be extremely impressed and even marvel at the depths to which Luther made prayer the centerpiece of his Christian walk, and how such devotion to prayer seems so beyond what many of us contemporary Christians tend to practice in our quiet time with God.

There are two main strengths in this book that can transform a person's prayer life. First are the words of Luther himself in his prayers. The reader gets the sense of Luther's crystal clear understanding of the eternal immensity of the power of God and the utter helplessness of man absent God. Gaining a proper perspective in prayer means understanding who it is we are praying to, and understanding why we pray. I happen to think that a widespread return to Luther's perspective in these areas would revolutionize the universal Church through much more effective prayer that comes with having a Biblical understanding of the sovereignty of God and why we need Him.

Second, Luther's technique toward prayer in this book is hugely important. In particular, his fourfold partition in prayer of instruction, thanksgiving, confession/repentance, and request after meditating on a Scripture passage is outstanding. Luther properly puts the emphasis on Bible reading as a key way to ready the heart for sincere and meaningful prayer. Further, he stresses the need for the Christian to follow the guidings of the Holy Spirit in prayer so as to have a dynamic and heart-filled prayer life rather than a prayer life of mind numbing ritualism or legalism.

In summary, this is great instruction from a giant of the Christian faith that we as Christians should strongly consider in our attitudes towards prayer.

A Simple Way to Pray is an excellent resource for all Christians. I highly recommend it. But I wouldn't by the book. It is a little book (3 inches by 5 inches I would guess) with only 70 pages or so. Of that only 45 are actually Luther's writing. The material is free domain, so if you do an internet search for "Luther simple way to pray" you'll get access to all the text easily. I copied that to Word and put the font to Times New Roman 12-point and it is only 13 pages long. That's a much cheaper option than the $10 or $12 plus shipping for this little book and you get the same blessings from reading the text.

Summary - great read, but get it cheaper.

Martin Luther's barber once asked him to instruct him regarding prayer. This little 62-page book is Luther's reply. He lovingly, warmly writes his thoughts on regularly praying the Lord's Prayer, the Ten Commandments, and the Apostle's Creed. And Luther does not simply call for a thoughtless, legalistic recitation. Rather, he advocates pouring ourselves and everything we have into these prayers, fully involving our minds and hearts. Read this book, be blessed in your prayers, and learn what it means to pray to "Our Father."

Dr. Ken Berding's "Sing And Learn NT Greek" is an excellent tool for the beginning Greek language student. Having learned the songs myself about 7 years ago, I can STILL remember them almost perfectly. They have helped me very much in both Bible study (parsing verbs, etc.) and in tutoring Greek students who have difficulty with the many paradigms and charts associated with an Elementary Greek class.

Dr. Berding has revolutionized not only the NT Greek learning process, but the ongoing process of retention as well. As a pastor, I have a minimal amount of time to devote to staying fresh in my Greek syntax, but I find the study of the Greek NT to be invaluable in various teaching venues. The paradigmatic songs that Dr. Berding has innovated are immensely useful to my personal endeavor to stay competent in Greek.

I have an hour commute, one way, and this has been an outstanding tool for optimizing that drive time. I'm up to songs 8 and 9, and it's only been a few weeks. The songs are short, with most repeated just twice or three times.

Two thumbs up for the creative arrangements, which vary and build as the song repeats -- keeps them interesting to listen to. One minor complaint is the uneven recording levels, forcing you to raise or lower the volume per song while you drive. But since you are generally working on just one song at a time, it's not a big deal.

The CD contains a printable copy of the tables in the companion booklet, so you can keep copies in different places where you listen (in your car, by the bed, at your desk at work, etc.). You'll want the tables handy to refer to as you initially learn each song.

(For non-drive times, what I've done is put the songs on my iPod Touch, and then put a copy of the tables into the Photos section. When I listen to a song, I can then just switch to the Photos section and follow along with the table. Works great when working out!)

I also recommend Sing and Learn NT Greek to those who are pursuing NT Greek later in life and are finding (as I am) that the brain doesn't memorize things as quickly as it used to. Putting it to music really helps with that (at least, it helps me).

I first want to say that I am not connected with the author in any way and am not in his classes. I just downloaded the audio version of this with the accompanying PDF of the guide (thanks to Zondervan's great customer service in pointing me to it!)

1. I have taken overall 6 semesters of Attic and Koine Greek and I still find myself having problems remembering these paradigms. To have another sensory way of learning them is very helpful. The more ways the better! The songs cover most of the harder and most common paradigms. One problem is that sometimes the paradigm behind the songs are hard to follow because of the ordering of the words, but in general, the author has done a great job of making the songs accessible.

2. Having said that these songs are catchy and helpful, learning them is no substitute for spending time with the Greek text. The problem with learning a song is that you have to go through the whole thing to find a form and then you have to know the structure of the paradigm behind the song to locate the words proper form. This can be time consuming. So, this CD will not make you proficient at Greek, it will help get a good basis from which to build. Eventually, one should be able to recognize most of these endings and words without singing the songs.

3. Finally, as for the songs themselves, they are catchy but not the sort of thing you would want to listen to outside of studying. The author made them very passable and helpful by sticking to children songs and songs we are familiar with. By doing so, some musical pleasantness was probably sacrificed.

All in all I would highly recommend this CD/text for anybody who wants to refresh on their Greek paradigms and is sick of just sitting there with their text and drilling paradigms into one's head. Also it is great if one commutes.

I'm in Dr. Berding's Greek class and his technique is the way to go. I'm horrible when it comes to learning new languages, but Dr. Berding's technique has allowed me to read a large amount of the New Testament after only two semesters. I would recommend this technique to everyone. Dr. Berding has taught me an ancient, dead, foreign language through music. I barely made it through High School Spanish. I'm tone deaf and have absolutely no beat. If this technique works for a guy who's brother punches him in church because he's singing off key and clapping off beat, it'll work for you.

Souls Eternal has everything from fantasy, good, evil, magic, adventure, all rolled into one fantanstic book. This fantasy, fiction novel is for everyone, a must read. I love the way the book keeps you guessing and the twists and turns that brings it to an all to soon end. I can't wait for the next book!

Souls Eternal has something for everyone. Magic, Vampire, Werewolf, and a fantantic plot with twists and turns to keep you guessing. Fantasy, adventure, and true thrill for everyone. I recomend this book for anyone who has an imagination or needs one.

Souls Eternal has you picturing the events in your mind as you are reading. Once you start reading, you can't put this book down. Wonderful story, full of surprises, I can't wait for the next book.

Wonderful characters, masterfully drawn with surprises around every corner. Michael V. Cox has written one of the best books I've read in a long time. Vampires, witches, werewolves, good vs. evil... this book's got it all. Check out the author's web site for a plot synopsis and information about the follow-on books!

Recently I met up with a friend of mine who was carrying this book around in his car. When asked about it, he could not quit talking about how good it was, and that he could not put it down. After borrowing the book, I have to agree.

Michael Cox has done a fantastic job in spinning many different 'types' of book into this fantastic novel...Suspense, Horror, Fantasy, Romance, Humor. His attention to detail and his ability to place the reader in the mindset of the characters is what made the book a winner for me. Every few pages, I found myself thinking more like the characters and less like myself. While reading, it was truly like being drawn into a web. More than that, He has added a particular flair and re-created the mystical creatures of our fantasies with details and attributes that I have not found in books prior to this.

After reading the book, I had to get my own copy. I found that the author is continuing to write while doing book signings around the nation, and was lucky enough to be able to meet him at one of his engagements. I now consider that book to be one of my small treasures.

If you have not had the opportunity to read this book, take the time to do so. It is time and money well spent!

Show me the way back to the sea...

In the ocean of life, Bill Glasscock finds himself tossed into the waves of crime in Sleepy Splendor Bay. A by-the-sea town with sparkling turquoise water, where cutesy-touristy restaurants serve homemade biscuits and gravy or a slice of strudel amidst glorious scenery.

On a day when the cornflower-blue sky looks down on the hulls of old boats and waves that lazily lap at the sand in a never ending cycle, something washes up on the beach covered with seaweed and spoils the view.

Bill is on a vacation from real life, playing out his fantasy as a part-time detective and part time knight in shining armor. He is on a journey to discover the true beauty of life while his own personal pain and loss seems to surround him. The turmoil of his own soul leads him down a path where he tries to drown the pain by drinking his life away.

As Bill says: "Things happen. Sometimes you have to ride the wave."

He is a victim of circumstance, having taken his focus off his life for what seemed like moments, only to return to find his wife seeking solace in the arms of another. Now he finds his wife's love interest, Governor Wallace Moreno, in the arms of the sea, tossed onto the beach as casually as he feels he was tossed aside by his soon-to-be-ex-wife Eleana, a government official.

State attorney Sally Solana has sought to rehabilitate him back to his former existence as an attorney after he was suspended for malpractice. When his wife and Sally disappear after the Moreno murder, he steps up to the challenge, all the while having to avoid becoming a suspect and therefore being detained.

L.B. Cobb's writing style takes full advantage of verisimilitude in a similar way many of W. Somerset Maugham's stories evoke a sense of confidence in the reader. She also uses those little twists and turns that keep you questioning and her chapter endings plunge you into the next page with a sense of undeniable curiosity.

The character development bonds the reader to the characters with heart-felt emotions and moral ambiguities, making them memorable and human.

"I heard the agony in her voice as the stainless blade of betrayal sliced into her heart. I closed my eyes and saw the crimson drops of heart pain, hers and mine. I said nothing. What could I say? That, in a moment of selfish, hurting need, I had betrayed her? That I felt her pain along with my own? That once I had pledged my love ... there wasn't any left for another? pg. 111

There are many moments of beauty and you will really start to love Bill for his thoughts. Be they the thoughts of a man in love or the conflicting thoughts he faces in trying to solve the mystery of his life. Or the humorous, laugh-out-loud contemplation of one witty guy who is trying not to take life too seriously, while learning life can be one serious game when those you love are in peril.

An expertly crafted mystery with a touch of sensual intrigue. Splendor bay will leave you amazed by the poetic justice of it all. The best mystery I've read, bar none. Told from a male perspective and sure to be loved by both sexes.

Summer reading at its best!

"Love is knowing you won't let go." ~Stevie Nicks, Trouble in Shangri-La

~The Rebecca Review

This is Ms Cobb's first novel and is a story about Bill Glasscock, or Fragile Dick to his friends. Bill wakes up at his girlfriend Sally's beach house on Splendor Bay and sees the city cops looking at a body on the beach that has diamond studs in his shirt. Bill being the good ex attorney and private investigator decides to wander down to the beach to find out the details of the John Doe that has appeared on his girlfriend's beach. Come to find out it is the Governor of the state, and said Governor is his ex or soon to be ex wife's boyfriend. His girlfriend also seems to be missing and Bill takes you on the search to find who did this to the Governor, because all fingers are pointing at him.

The dialogue in this book is very witty and I think it reminds me of the Robert B Parker Spenser series because of the sarcasm. I found it to be a very good, easy and fast book to read. Very likeable characters that you begin to really care about. A bit of a love story about how even though you have an ex wife, is she ever forgotten? Do you just stop loving her because you have found her in bed with the Governor? Do you stop loving the girlfriend because the ex wife that has just lost her boyfriend and tells you she still loves you? There is also your son of sixteen years to consider. Bill has been a bit of a bum for a while and what effect is that having on him. Should Bill get his act together and try and spend some time with Davey, or should he just let his wife worry about that.

There are lots of different twists and turns in this book and I found them delightful. I liked the interactions between Bill, his friends and extended family. I liked the fact of him being an ex-attorney on suspension and the dilemma about what he was going to do with the rest of his life. I would like to see this become a series, but my understanding is that she is in the in the process of having another novel published with new people. I for one will have to have a look at it.

Eat your heart out, New York. Or, more specifically, all you New York publishers. You've let another rising star slip through your fingers, this time to be published by a small press from the Lone Star state. The Advance Books Company of Texas may not be a big name player in the book business, but with the release of L. B. Cobb's Splendor Bay, they showed the publishing world that they recognize true talent when they see it.

And talent would be L. B.'s middle name if she didn't already have one in the form of an initial. This is one savvy lady who not only knows how to plot an intriguing mystery but also knows how to people that mystery with remarkably complicated yet true-to-life characters. The fact that she does this so skillfully belies Cobb's standing as a first-time author and makes this book a pleasure to read.

Splendor Bay's story line might be considered trite if handled less deftly: jilted husband finds body of wife's lover outside his home, becomes prime suspect in the murder, then escapes arrest by deducing the identity of the killer. An age-old theme of mystery novels, but in Splendor Bay, the commonplace becomes extraordinary due to the identities and emotional intensity of the characters.

Bill Glasscock is not your everyday high-priced lawyer. Instead, he's a man who walks away from his job in the middle of a trial -- thus earning himself a suspension from the bar -- after discovering his wife in bed with the governor of the state. But it's not only his job that Bill abandons. He shakes off an entire way of life, reverting to a beach-bum existence that includes shacking up with his wife's cousin, the beautiful state's attorney general, Sally Solana.

Likewise, Eleana Glasscock is no ordinary housewife bent on a fling with a political celebrity. She's a woman whose position as head of the state archives provides her with ample opportunity to mingle with the local power brokers. Her involvement with Gov. Wallace Moreno is due more to loneliness than love, her husband being too busy getting rich to pay her much attention.

Toss in Bill and Eleana's teenage son, Davy, an insulin-dependent diabetic who's torn between both parents, and you have the makings of a family in turmoil where forgiveness and healing seem almost impossible. But murder has a strange way of drawing people together. In Splendor Bay, the need to protect Eleana and Davy drives Bill to reexamine his relationships with both family members and friends. Most difficult of all, he's forced to take a long, hard look at himself. His quest for self-discovery becomes as arduous as his hunt for the governor's killer.

It's rare for a writer to be able to imagine, much less clearly convey, the emotions of both sexes. Earning the simultaneous sympathy of the reader for differing characters is even more difficult. Cobb, though, accomplishes both of these things in Splendor Bay, and she does so in a way that is neither maudlin nor contrived. Instead, she uses crisp dialogue and cleanly written prose to portray the torment of love gone astray and the soul-searching task of personal recovery. What makes Cobb's feat even more remarkable is that it's accomplished in the context of a murder mystery. Make no mistake; Splendor Bay is a fast paced suspense story sure to appeal to lovers of the genre. But it's a mystery of the heart as well, and as that, it succeeds where many other novels fail.

L.C. Cobb is one helluva writer. Thank goodness she chose to shine her light in the field of mystery!

What a fun book! As an avid reader of mysteries and legal thrillers, I was delighted to find such a talented new author. L. B. Cobb writes with just the right mix of mystery, humor, and romance. With a protagonist named Bill Glasscock..., you know you're in for an interesting ride from the very beginning. Bill's a man who left his lucrative job as an attorney to become an aging "beach bum" after finding his wife in bed with another man. The man just happens to be the governor who turns up dead on the beach - leaving Bill, his family, and friends as prime suspects. The setting could be your small town and the people, your high school buddies. The camaraderie and affection are evident in the good-natured bantering between old friends. Along with the unexpected twists and turns, Splendor Bay is a very entertaining summer read. I'm certainly looking forward to the next release from Ms. Cobb!

I didn't want to put this book down after I began reading it. What I liked the most is that the story flows well and it kept me intrigued. The characters and story line are developed with just enough clarity that personalities or the plot didn't get foggy with excess detail. I was taken in by the main character, his sense of humor and approach to solving the crime, and all the ways he showed he cared about his family and friends. The end was good, because even though I tried to guess along the way what really happened, I wasn't even close.

This is a book that is easy to read for anyone interested in animals. The story of the discovery of the true nature of the coyote is told in a down to earth engaging manner. Dr. Way's research will probably be historically pivotal in animal relationships with humans, personal and political. People who live in coyote country (which is almost everywhere) cannot afford NOT to read this book.

Suburban Howls is a must read for anyone interested in wildlife or coyotes in general. Dr Way's descriptive and passionate writing makes for a page turning journey paralleled by few books of non fiction. At times I felt as if I was actually riding around with Jon tracking these wonderful animals. Dr Way's use of humor at times almost had me falling out of my chair with laughter. Do yourself a favor, buy this book and take yourself on a quest of coyote knowledge.

Passionate, fact-filled and providing the reader of a feeling of actually being out in the eastern woodlands at 3am in the morning observing the coyotes. What a revealing, thorough and eye opening book Suburban Howls is. Jonathan Way writes for all of us............clear,insightful and revealing about how all of natures creatures including the top predators like man and the coyote have a role to play in the circle of life.

People kill for food.............so do the coyotes.........This makes neither man or coyote evil.............The age old predator and prey interaction that makes the prey species so lithe, agile and swift is directly connected to the intelligence, perseverance and problem solving of what is chasing it, be it man, coyote, wolf, cougar, bear, wolverine, marten, fisher or bobcat.

May Jon's book open peoples eyes to the need and the right for all of the suite of apex predators to once again take their rightful place in our backyards.............the Eastern forests, meadows, streams and rivers of the USA.--

Suburban Howls is written from the perspective of a research biologist who manages to reach out and capture the attention of the general reader interested in wildlife ecology. He gives vivid details (sometimes heart-wrenching) of his experiences tracking coyotes while educating with scientific detail on Canis latrans. Great pictures, informative appendices and the personal story of a researcher who obviously has a dedication to his study. Once I started reading I couldn't put the book down because I wanted to hear this author's story. If I had any misconceptions about coyotes before reading this book they are now replaced with an understanding and respect for this Canid who is simply trying to survive their environment just like the rest of us.

Wildlife Biologist Jonathan Way raises the clarion call for coyotes and leaves some indelible tracks behind in this wonderful and engaging book. My appreciation for canis latrans has doubled since delving into Suburban Howls. I enjoyed it immensely and will recommend it to anyone who is interested in wildlife, the politics of it and the sometimes tumultuous relationship that ensues when worlds collide. In its pages you will find a book that jogs comfortably between scientific research, autobiography and activism. Reading the book I was alternately saddened and elated by the loses and discoveries of Jonathan and his research team. Herein you will find power struggles,and tragic endings tempered by moments of revelation and jubilant vernal beginnings. The author's insightful documentation and intimate observations of these wonderful social creatures will go a long way in demystifying them and hopefully defang the imaginary danger that lurks in the minds of the ignorant. I look forward to a day when people will feel that these animals are not something to be maligned, needlessly destroyed and cast out to the margins of our world. Jonathan's tireless research and dedication to the subject is testament to his devotion to these ecologically important creatures and their proper management. Many a human could learn a lesson from their fealty and industriousness, not only theirs but Jon's as well.

Not easily pigeonholed into any particular genre this book will rest comfortably next to other noteworthy nature authors such as John Hay and Robert Finch. Perhaps the next time you hear a howl instead of raising your hairs let it peak your interest in the fascinating wild world just beyond your back door.

The information in this book has literally changed my life! To follow the ideals and steps to a better way of life through Dr. Jensen's teachings of natural healing is so key. Paul Harris has really brought this to the forefront by sharing his memories and cherished experiences of Dr. Jensen's way of life. I can attest that following his methods has improved my health superlatively. I highly recommend this book to those looking to change their lives.

Finally we have Mr. Harris explain to us with simple words how our body works and how to take care of it!! It is such a simple way of life and if we listen to nature we will be healthy and strong. What a priceless gift to all of us that always wanted the real truth about being healthy! Such an honor to read and learn about the life and career of Dr. Jensen and his expertise advice told by someone who seems to have been challenged with so many experiences of human pain and suffering. What a great book. Thank You!!

This book is simply the best book on how to heal yourself and feel full of energy the natural way. This book opened my eyes to how first cleansing the body and then giving it good nutrition can create a tremendous healing environment. I Have been eating quite healthy most of my life yet I learned so much from this book and am practicing it now. Mr. Harris, the author, not only explains things so simply but tells you why you should be doing it. No need to go anywhere else. You should read this first and follow the regimens outlined before going to "modern medicine". This book is awesome!

I found this book to be very engaging. I appreciated the biography of Jensen, and the artful way the author wrote his own story about how he came to study with the doctor. It alternated between sweet stories about the author and Jensen, and practical, useable techniques for improving health. The ideas in the book are very common-sense, and easy to do.

This book offers us a look outside the paradigm of traditional health care. Although, I feel many approach medical diagnosis and treatment modalities offered by a sole practitioner as an invitation to seek another opinion, Mr. Harris introduces yet another challenge for us to consider as we make personal health care choices. The author asks us to consider the "Nature Cure Philosophy in Totality". The concept of taking control of our own health and well-being has definite merit. Dr. Bernard Jensen sought non-traditional health care alternatives, embraced them as every day living, and chose to avail both his personal experiences and years of research through his teachings and practices. I found the book to be both a thought evoking and pleasant read. Well Done Mr. Harris.

This is one of the best books I have read on Black life growing up in the 1950's and 1960's. It was a time of hard work and discipline for our parents as well as us. We had to learn to do without and work with what you had and be grateful for that, not like the kids of today. We all need to read this book, if not for the memories, for the kids to know what others had to go through to get where they are today and that hard work pays off. We were taught to respect each other and other people's property. It brought back many, many memories as I am an African-American as well. The way the author writes it's like you're right in the room with the family or involved in whatever situation was going on. I was brought up in the city, but my father was from down south, Texas, and he raised us the same way. It is a book for all ages, especially youngsters to see how it was back then, a real story of African-American History as well as being entertaining. A Must Read.

Survival The Will and The Way is a great book. I enjoyed it very much. I am a very picky reader and I need a book that will keep my attention. This book did just that. Every time I tried to put it down, I found myself picking it right back up to read some more. Reading about this family makes me realize how wonderful life is. Although they seemed to have it rough, they seemingly endured because of their love and togetherness. I felt for the family. The father was a bit too cruel for my taste, but it appears, however, that because of the way that the children were raised, they were better and more well behaved than many of today's children. - There was so much going on near the end, and it was so sad, I can hardly wait for the next book so that I can see what happened to everyone. (I hope that there is another one) Don't leave me hanging!

Like the author, I too was born in Alabama. Although I did not live with the conditions such as the ones that she describes in her book, I have had the opportunity to visit places like the one where she and her family lived. As I read Survival The Will and The Way, it took me home again. I could almost see the clothes hanging all around on wash day. I actually squirmed when the snake was fished from the water. For the most part, I felt as though I was there during each adventure. This book is very well written.

I believe that Survival: The Will And The Way is a novel that will be enjoyed by everone who has the pleasure of reading it. It is fresh as well as refreshing. As the events unfolds, one can visually/virtually experience each event. The cover first "caught my eye." And as I thumbed through the pages, I was hooked. The writer brings to life a time when the world was a better place. "The good old days!" Although those days might just about be gone, this book will hopefully help to bring back some of those olden days when life was simplier and Young.

Miss Young, Thank you for sharing your story. Your presentation was delightful, and the memories are enlightening and enriching. I too long for a form of discipline. I believe that if each and every child could have lived as you described, there would be less hatred and more togetherness. Sometimes folks have it so good that they forget just how good they really have it. Survival The Will and The Way describes the basic essentials needed in life: Love, respect, togetherness, a belief in religion, and a way of survival. Oh, how I wish that we all could have experienced growing up in a place like "Perote." Your Dad reminds me of my Grandfather. He was guick to pull his gun or knife. I especially enjoyed reading about "Uncle John and Doll", and how she could so easily set him off. Our family memories are precious ones. You were wise to document them. I was fortunate to be able to read them. The cover is attractive and sentimental. The size is perfect. And I like the size of the type. We have a hard back in paper weight size - perfect! You and your family have strong constitutions. I will pass this book on to my daughter. You have enspired me to attempt to document the life of my Grandmother in her honor,and for our memories. Thank you for the push! I know that your son and grandson are constantly reminded of the essentials. God bless!

Need this book for a class and I got it on time! Thank you!

I received within a week. I was very happy with the service. Thank you

I already had an earlier addition of this book that I borrowed from a friend because I needed it for one of my graduate classes. Since books are soooo expensive we share whenever we can, but I really found this book to be useful so I bought my own copy. I highly recommend it for K-5 teachers...even upper grade teachers could benefit from it. It's full of ideas for writing in every genre. An excellent resource.

Certainly a good buy. This book is practical and inspirational. How education has advanced since the days I was in elementary school!

This book is an excellent resource for teachers. It is full of great ideas and of lessons for writing. It is also very helpful to those teachers who are reluctant to have their students write daily. The feature that I like best is that the author includes great trade book lists to assist the teacher in modeling good writing.
