On the Heidelberg,this is the Gift from God to His Church.A loyal brother recomended this commentry with the " I Belong Series 1 & 2 " and for Catchisms for Uncomparable Systematics in Reformed Teachings( this Work is a Yes and Amen.)Soli Deo Gloria

Zacharias Ursinus was one of the writers of the Heidelberg Catechism. This book is his own commentary on this classic work of reformational theology. There may be no finer catechism ever produced for its sound theology and warm practical application of Biblical truth. Now you can learn from the master himself and how he understood the very doctrines of the catechism. I would encourage pastors to use this book for adult Sunday school classes, fathers to use it family devotions and home worship times and anyone who seeks to have a better understanding of the vital life changing truths of the Bible.

While the catechism itself is warm and flowing, Ursinus' commentary is stiff, long and sometimes difficult. However, it is worth every once of effort put in. This is a book you will keep and go back to time and time again.

Someone once said that digging holes is harder than raking leafs. But when you rake leafs, all you get is leafs. When you dig holes you might find buried treasure. Ursinus's commentary of the great catechism maybe like digging holes for some, but gold will be found by all who will dig. Dig long and dig deep.

Book is great resource for introduction to community helpers and Alphabet.
If using with preschoolers, make the book work as a themed resource. Introducing a few letters weekly with corresponding activities in your centers to go along with community occupations is great. Especially role playing. The pictures are of real people doing real jobs and performing real services in the community. !!The possibilities for use of this book is endless". Good book overall. Gives enough information about each occupation and great to envoke further research on individual occupations for older students.

Community Helpers is an extremely reasonably priced book that is packed with interesting information about many careers. The photographs of workers, enhance the details given about each occupation. As a teacher I was pleased to read the clear descriptions of so many jobs packed into one book! I recommend this book for all children thinking about their future and for the adults that are helping them to do this.

I preordered this book, not really knowing what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised. This book is a wonderful collection of photographs of modern blacksmiths works. It has a lot of those smiths who have become known as masters within the community. It was well worth it, just to see what other smiths were doing.

My husband is an amateur blacksmith, so I'm often looking for creative and informative books to give him about this craft. I bought this book based on its beautiful cover and the great narrative I read at Amazon about its contents. Once my husband received it, I was even more sure I'd made a good purchase. He LOVED the book - got so many great ideas from it - and found numerous helpful websites and practical applications. This is a must-have for any blacksmith you may know.

This is not a cookbook but a culinary encyclopedia of terms, techniques and ingredients with great recipes. The perfect gift.

Have you ever found yourself wondering, "What really is the difference between Ice Cream, Sherbet, Sorbet, and Gelato?" or "Is Allspice just a blend ALL Spices?" or "Do I really need to sift my flour?" All of these questions, and many, many more are easily answered in this amateur chef's bible. Even though it is primarily a reference book, I've frequently been drawn into reading parts of it like a novel while doing a "quick" check of some obscure ingredient.

Whenever I have a question about food, cooking, or ingredients, this is the first place I turn. When I'm through, I frequently find myself exclaiming to my wife, "This really is a GREAT book!"

From Abalone to Zucchini, this colorful reference guide to all things culinary is a must for every kitchen!

This practical,information-packed book fully explores the fascinating world of food and cooking. This book is a must for everyone who cooks and who loves food. R.W.L.

I have had this book for 20 years. It is the most common wedding present I give, not to mention the most thankful one. Everything anyone, from beginner to everyday cook, needs to know about preparing food is in this book.
Not just delicious recipes, but common sense needs, like how to prepare an artichoke to the perfect hard boiled eggs. Timetables for boiling meat and cooking beans. This book includes grilling methods, making pasta, freezing times, and microwaving fresh veggies.
Constant tips are placed throughout the book, how to buy a turkey, cooking with oils, selecting cookware, even coffee roasts.
The pictures are stunning, the recipes are succulent.
It's always important to have a book in front of you that you can count on for anwers when cooking is important to you.
I recommend this book now, and have for the past 20 years!

This is one of my favorites books as a child- I agree that the price is high, I am glad I kept mine from when I was a kid. Great Book for children!

When I was a young child I made my mother read this book to me just about every night. I love this book so much! I have noticed the price is rather high for the book and I would like to know why. If anyone knows please drop a message at hoperahmachine@hotmail.com.
This is a great book for preschool to kindergarten aged children. Enjoy it if you can find one.

This is a wonderful kitchen resource! My most-used cookbook. It is an A-Z encyclopedia of every food you can think of, as well as many I never heard of! It includes comprehensive coverage on growing/raising food, the different methods of storage applicable, creative and unique recipies for every food item. There are chapters on freezing, cold storage, root cellers, canning, drying, butchering. It is so exhaustive that there is much in it I personally do not care to know, such as how to skin and prepare squirrel, opposum, chevon, making head cheese, cooking with frogs, heart and pig's feet. I said it was exhaustive! But it also has great stuff for grinding and cooking with whole grains, whole foods, natural sweetenings, making yogurt and cheese, natural leavenings, etc. I will be buying a copy to give to my daughter when she is older. This book is a homesteader's dream come true.

This book is hilarious. The art is great, and the text is properly understated, accurate and ironic. I'd like to see physical ailments by number next.

First, thank you Amazon - for adding pictures of the cover and inside. The written description of the content, as well as information about the author, is certainly something everyone looking for a book they haven't read would hope to find.

My ten year old granddaughter read this book aloud to me, stopping for help with words she couldn't pronounce. After each illness, we discussed what each of us had learned. The way these illnesses were introduced and defined kept my granddaughter's interest. And I was proud to hear her say that kids shouldn't make fun of anyone who has a mental illness, or be ashamed to be their friend. Perhaps it should be in elementary and middle school libraries!

Psychoanalysis has been increasingly influence by constructivist thinking. Various theorists have contributed to the psychoanalytic understanding of the way in which reality is constructed. However, this literature is scattered, confusing, and it is difficult for the casual reader to gain a firm intellectual grasp of the pertinent issues. The author has done a tremendous service by overviewing this complex and often cryptic literature, contrasting the chief theorists, and presenting his own conclusions. A gem of a book that I would highly recommend to anyone who is trying to gain a meaningful understanding of this difficult but vital topic.

The Creation Of Reality In Psychoanalysis is a challenging, informative, engaging, exceptionally well written treatise that is a welcome and valued contribution to the growing library of psychoanalytical literature and Freudian studies.

How wonderful this book was translated and updated! In its first edition in Spanish, many important Cuban musicians were omitted, mainly due to US-Cuban politics. Orovio's thorough guide gives the 411 on some of Cuba's most important and prolific musicians - including those living in the U.S. and elsewhere, including biographical as well as musicological information. A must have for anyone who loves Cuban music!

If you want to learn about Cuban music this is the book you MUST buy...Helio Orovio is an authority in Cuban music...and the most respected by Cuban musicians for his knowledge and profound understanding...I'm Cuban...so I know what I'm talking about...
