Oscar Wilde in the 1990s : The Critic as Creator
Published in Hardcover by Camden House (15 September, 2001)
Author: Melissa Knox
Amazon base price: $75.00
Average review score:

Wise and Witty Wilde scholarship
I greatly enjoyed both the thorough examination of many important Wilde critics of the 1990s and the sensible point of view. The author defends clear writing and makes a forceful defense of biographically and psychologically based criticism, enlisting Wilde's own remarks in her argument. Her criticism of literary jargon is occasionally biting, and justifiably so. This is a book not for the politically correct, but rather the openminded scholar or student of literature. It is safe to say that Wilde himself would have enjoyed it.

Splendid scholarship
Professor Knox offers a splendid overview and critique of contemporary Oscar Wilde criticism. She illustrates how "-ism-guided" approaches tend to utilize Wilde for their own agendas rather than trying to come to terms with the contradictory and fascinating nature of his oeuvre. This book is a must read for any Wilde scholar as well as for advanced students pursuing work on Wilde or on approaches to literature.

An exquisite, moving memoir.
"An Owl on Every Post" has been my favorite book for thirty years, since the day I randomly perused it at a small local bookstore. I couldn't stop reading it. I was 14 years old. The authentic, straightforward account of a young girl's hard, yet magical, life on the plains sang to me as an adolescent and again years later when I read it aloud to my six year old daughter. It immediately became, and remains, one of her favorite books as well. She is twelve now and we are once again revisiting the Colorado territory. I guarantee you'll find something new and wonderful in this book no matter how many times you read it. Though it is written in a straightforward, unsentimental style you'll find yourself moved to tears, laughing aloud, staring wide-eyed with anticipation and fear, and experiencing monumental awe and wonder.

A must-read book that captures the essence of the frontier
_An Owl on Every Post_ is a must-read book that captures the essence of life on the Great Plains in the early twentieth century. When the Babb family moved to rural eastern Colorado from a small town in Oklahoma, they couldn't have realized that they would lose nearly everything they had in the process. Babb relates her family's story from a child's eye perspective, and does so with enormous sensitivity and clarity. Hers is a moving story, beautifully told.

Blessings from the past
A wonderfully clear presentation of the methods of Sicilian cooking through presentation of many important recipes. The author's recollections of his grandfather who taught him to cook shows the warmth, humor and culture of the Sicilians. Many of the recipes familiar in my childhood are found in this book. Now my daughter is learning one important aspect her great grandmother's culture.

I look forward to the revised edition and plan to buy several copies for friends and family.

PRIMO!
This book will bring you back to nonna's kitchen. Every recipe, so far has been excellent. With each easy to comprehend and prepare recipe, comes stories from the old country, and a few from the new. You will be very pleased with this book.

Good effort to find a new pastoral model
Commendations to Howard Rice and his editors for The Pastor as Spiritual Guide. Rice taught spiritual formation for a number of years and attempts to put his thought into a systems approach to congregational ministry. In many ways he succeeds, particularly as he deals with the everyday actions of pastors and the normal problems of churches. Where Rice slips is in the biblical foundation for his approach. I wanted Rice to use the Bible, to show a biblical basis for his work, to develop especially that biblical foundation for pastoral authority. That is not there, though any pastor should be able to read this book and grow from its insights. And any pastor can provide the biblical texts he or she most often quotes concerning call to ministry. I am not aware of any other contemporary attempts to relate spiritual guidance to the totality of ministry. Do read the book. Maybe the sequel is in you and awaits birth.

A Call to Spiritual Guidance
Howard Rice invites pastors to step away from the task-driven agenda of pastoral ministry to think about the larger need for spiritual guidance. I find his work very encouraging as he deals realistically with the demands pastors face. Particularly helpful is the chapter on worship and spiritual guidance for in this chapter Rice reminds readers that all aspects of worship should invite participants to listen for God. Rice notes that all of worship is an invitation. Rice also writes about spiritual guidance and the administration of the church.

Very helpful book. It opens up new ways to think about ministry and the church.

An EXCELLENT guide to understanding Spirit-Led Shepherding.
In "Pastors of Promise," Jack Hayford, Senior Pastor of The Church On The Way (located in Van Nuys, California) calls fellow pastors in ministry to a deeper, more passionate fellowship with Christ. He challenges them to focus on worship and pastoral humanity before methods. With his insightful and compassionate mentoring, Pastor Jack helps the reader understand what it takes to cultivate God's promise of fruitfulness in one's life as a shepherd. This book offers passion, compassion and promise for the pastors and challenges the readers to reflect on the 'big picture' - from God's perspective. . The common thread that runs through this book is: "Worship through Servant-Hood."

The Church has a place of spiritual mission to preach and reach the world with the Gospel and lay loving hands on the sick to heal and deliver the oppressed. The ministry of the Church is to extend through every member of the Body of Christ, facilitated by worship and pastoral leadership. However, this vision and the mission of the church can only come after the discipline of personal devotion. Pastor Jack points out that worship and servant-hood are to be pastoral priorities. It is the fountainhead of everything the Church will ever have - God's presence, His power, the guidance of the Word and the Holy Spirit, the healing of souls, bodies, families, and the evangelism of the lost.

This book has been a timely word. One of the more refreshing attributes found in this book is the fact that Pastor Jack always avoids disputes on matters where Christians disagree, and defends those beliefs which Christians hold in common. His work has transcended denominational lines.My personal ministry has been greatly impacted by this book. This book is a very enlightening and refreshing work of the Holy Spirit through Pastor Jack Hayford.

Encouragement and exhortation for all in ministry!
Do you ever feel like your ministry is going no where ? Have you ever wrestled with thoughts of giving up ? Pastor Jack shares very candidly from his first call over 25 years ago, from wondering where he was going, to why was he there; if you have ever struggled with God's call on your life then pick up this book! Paul told Timothy to "fan into flame the gift of God in you"; now, Pastor Jack tells us how to do that! Pastor Jack has been blessed with an awesome gift of expression via the pen, and this is the *best* If you or someone you know is in a church leadership position, get this book into their hands! In a word, awesome!

Well researched and easy to read.
Sailhamer will change the way you look at the Bible. His study and insight about the Torah is tight and very well supported. He has unlocked the way one should look at the structure of the author's writing within a book of Scripture. With this type of thinking he argues that the Bible can stand on it's own, and we can find meaning within the text itself. This book should be required reading for any student of the Bible.

An approach to the Torah which is remarkable
Text versus event opens the context and intention of Moshe into a whole new light and brings a fresh perspective to passages that may have seemed problematic in the past. Reading "The Pentateuch as Narrative" has completely challenged the way I approach the Torah and deepened it's application to my life. Must reading for anyone serious about grappling with the Torah's application and real life issues.

Revolution
WOW. I read this play for an english class and irght now we are watching a production of it. As an activist I have to say this play captures many of the tensions in all schools of the left. Performed in the early 60s, it reveals the debate that raged between the 'old' and 'new' left. All I can say is unbeleivable.

One of the most haunting plays of all time.
Written in the early sixties, the play frequently abbreviated as Marat/Sade is set in 1808, yet many of the comments are distinctly directed toward current events, notably the upheavals in Eastern Europe. Now, with the fall of the Soviet Union behind us, the play takes on even greater significance. Despite the reassurances of the asylum director, whether a mere fifteen years or well over two hundred years have passed, the nature of revolutions, and the fanatics who cause them, has not changed. Combining historical events with modern theatrics, Weiss has produced what has been and will continue to be one of the most disturbing, as well as one of the most important works ever to be performed on stage.

In a class by itself
This is one of the most amazing English language learning books ever published. Molinsky and Bliss are authors of another book on my highly recommended list: The Word by Word Picture Dictionary, a close second to the Oxford Picture Dictionary. The artists are even more talented than the authors. The illustrations are vivid, easy to understand, and closely match the words. When I was in Korea, I spent a lot of time in the Kim & Johnson bookstore. I saw a lot of good phonics books on the shelf, but Word by Word Primary Phonics Picture Dictionary is in a class by itself.

ESL Book Review

A Life-Saver
I am an English teacher from Israel,teaching small groups of children and adults from age 3-100 at my home. As the kids here have to learn another alphabet and reading direction, I was looking for a book which would make this process as easy as possible.
This book has been an answer to my prayers. It is clear, user friendly, the pictures are lovely and it covers all aspects necessary to master the reading skills in English.
I have been using it now for a few months with lots of success.
No other book came even near to the standard of this book.
Thank you Steven Molinsky and Bill Bliss for making my life as a teacher so comfortable.
