Issue

Reviewer: gcruz@ecopetrol.com.co From: Bogotá, Colombia, S.A. It's an excelent book! It's the better book about migraine I have read. My wife completely prevented her migraines. Please, write me if you know about this.

This book was the reason I stopped having migraines which I had had all my life. I had 4 a month that lasted 3 days each. This book, explaining that migraine sufferers are hypoglycemic and must give up refined sugar, helped me give up the sugar that had always been bad for my system and led me to a life free of migraines and a way of eating that keeps my blood sugar level normal and me calm yet energetic.

This book fell into my hands at a book sale, read it, then read Atkins, and the old Adele Davis book on hypoglycemia. They all start to make sense. Write me if you know more about this. I have only done it a few days but feel like it is making a difference.

I read the other reviews and am pleased with them. I read Jim's book and am pleased with it. I only add a log on the fire for potential customers...buy it. It is simple to read, clear, and Jim has done his homework. The bibliography at the end of the book is worth the purchase alone. Jim covers the distinctives of moral, social, and theological collapse. Thanks Jim, working the bibliography beyond your fine work. (By the way, I always use first names, never last and never titles, including John at the Vatican. I call Jesus Jesus, I call John John. As Augustine said, "Humility, humility, humility".)

This book accurately documents the sad state that this nation (USA) is in. It is almost depressing to see where we've fallen from. It is a clarion call for Christians in America to wake up and strive for faithfulness, before God sets us on the shelf completely.

When reading this book, it is interesting (and scary!) to compare our present state with that of other nations that have fallen throughout history. Rome comes immediately to mind. We are on the downward slope, picking up speed.

"When Nations Die" proclaims the obvious. America is currently on the wrong track and many indications suggest that we are careening out of control headed for a crash. Some will dismiss this scholarly book as "right-wing fanaticism," but common sense demands that we look a little deeper. Why have so many great empires collapsed throughout history? Is it just a coincidence that several traits existed in every mighty nation that took a fall?

When Pope John Paul speaks of our current "Culture of Death," he could just as easily reference the latter stages of the Roman Empire or the heydays of Carthage. When many complain of the excesses of big government with its rapacious taxation policies, they could apply that charge to most of the other chronicled nation states. In ancient civilizations the evil practice of sacrificing newborns to the gods was commonplace, and today in America inconvenient babies are killed in their mother's wombs with the government's imprimatur.

Even less obvious example abound. The popular diversity and multiculturalism fads annoy most of us, but too often we dismiss them as silly diversions rather than look to the perils they truly pose. In every once great nation laid low, there were forces working to create class wars and split people apart based on artificial considerations similar to our current "group rights" campaigns. The breakdown of the family, which goes hand-in hand with sexual licentiousness, is equally indicative of past imploded civilizations. Nero's impudent concupiscence could compete with Bill Clinton's any day.

While all decent people in our era are appalled at Oliver Stone's "Natural Born Killers" and much of the other gory garbage ejaculated by Hollywood's poison factories, ancient Rome regularly fed Christians to the lions in front of hordes of howling spectators. (Fortunately, Tinsel Town's tiny brain cells haven't figured out how to get away with that yet.) We currently have prime-time sitcoms populated by sex-crazed sybarites; they had public orgies like the one depicted and vociferously defended by Hollywood's legion of janissaries in "Eyes Wide Shut."

I do have two minor criticism of this work. At times I felt it could have been better organized; in a few cases topics seem to weave in and out. Secondly, I think this version's appendix is incomplete because its abrupt end leaves the reader hanging.

Still, it a badly needed wake-up call. Jim Nelson Black agrees that there is still time for America to turn back from its dangerous course, but as Americans we must all decide if that is what we truly want.

I read this book a few months ago and wrote the above review which for some reason never accepted when I tried downloading it. Since that time we have seen the government of a so-call liberal president have federal forces execute a nazi-caliber raid and kidnap a small child from innocent U.S. citizens. Sadly it may be time to add America's name to the list of nations that have died.

I noticed the word "humanizing" in another reader's review, and I feel that is the perfect word to describe this book. Satterly gives us a glimpse into the world of healthcare and its many issues. She poses thought-provoking questions about the current healthcare crisis. It is an easy book to read even if you are, like me, completely unfamiliar with the terms used in the medical world. I will look at my nurse differently the next time I have to go to the ER.

This book is a very readable, beautifully written analysis of the crisis inside the walls of inpatient hospital units today. Satterly takes the reader into the frontlines of the intensive, often conflicting demands placed on the floor nurses, the primary caregivers to the acutely -ill patients who meet the stringent criteria for hospital admission these days.

"Where Have All the Nurses Gone" should be required reading for all nursing students, all medical students, all hospital administrators, and for any of us with a personal experience of hospitalization. Despite painting a vivid picture of the hard work, competing priorities, and lack of appreciation faced by the frontline caregivers, Satterly provides a thoughtful blueprint for creation of positive changes.

In, additon the book provides timely information about recent changes in healthcare, including updates on Advance Directives and HIPAA. The appendix also provides excellent resources for nurses and others interested in health care.

Ms. Satterly's book about the struggles facing nurses, patients, and the profession of nursing speak to many of us who have experienced them firsthand. The book presents a delightful picture of the reasons that many of us choose to remain committed to the profession even after 'two decades of service'. Many of us believe it is a privilege to provide nursing care, and we are grateful for the ability to work side by side with expert nursing colleagues.
The book documents many of the issues facing the profession, and provides thoughtful suggestions for how we all might be part of the solution.
The book is not just for nurses, however. Patients and families might also benefit from the themes and stories that are provided. Anyone who might require healthcare might be interested in what the profession is facing. It is a quick and easy read.

This book is an exact copy of her book entitled "God's Garden of Grace" (which is now out of print) only with a new title and cover! This book focuses on the fruits of the Spirit and how to live them out in our daily lives. The study guide in the back helps you dig deeper into the study! Very helpful!

This is the first Elizabeth George book I have read and I can't wait to read her other works! Beautifully written and inspiring. A great study guide for help in living out the fruits of the spirit on a daily basis. Guide to becoming a kinder, more gentle, loving woman while accually recognizing the strength in these virtues rather than the weakness our society leads us to believe a serving attitude shows. I loved this book!!

All of Elizabeth George's books are a "must read" but this is her best yet! This book is changing my life on a minute to minute basis as I choose to let the fruits of the spirit answer for me as oppossed to my flesh.

Most self-help medical books always error in unfriendly med-talk.This is a no-nonsense very informative guide that actually educates the reader in plain English.Not to be missed.

Wow!!! Dr. Sobczyk has put 20 years of a physician's expertise in one easy to read book. If all my patients read her book and were able to understand what they should look for, how to accurately describe their symptoms, what to ask their doctor about and how to take care of themselves, I would have the healthiest patient population in the country.

Do you want to live longer, be healthier and happier? Do you want to lower your medical bills and insurance rates? Here it is...Dr. Sobczyk's Your Body Your Health. This book is to adult health as Dr. Spock and Dr. Brazelton are to infant healht and development.

A terrific book. I recently bought 10 Vital Steps and have successfully used it to create a fitness program. It pointed me in the right direction by taking me through some self-evaluation and motivational exercises. It then led me into a step-by-step exercise schedule where I could start off slowly and gradually increase the intensity. This book explores a wide range of exercises while stressing safety and enjoyment. As I read, I couldn't help but be inspired by all the healthy and positive information that I was taking in. Rudy Yakzan explains how to synergistically combine health with a more fulfilling lifestyle. He has motivated me to make my life better. And with his tips for staying on track, I know that I will keep at it. I recommend it in a big way!

What I really liked about this book is its simplicity (it's also very nicely laid out and easy to read). The author is not one of those "gurus" who tells you you to follow his plan and buy his products. He's obviously an athletic guy in good shape who adheres to the "school of good health and sense!" The advice is simple but effective...he tells you how to start exercise gradually, eat well, and avoid the bad habits that can ruin your health. Sounds simple enpugh, but he also shows you how! Really good book!

I enjoyed reading the book and the pictures in it were very helpful in making me follow the exercises recommended. It helped me really feel healthier from the first week in following a good exercise and a diet. This book is for everyone. Easy reading and all good tips. Biki

I was given this book as a gift from my father-in-law after a retreat. I have read many religious and philophical books over the years, and find that finishing them (or making time to read them consistently) is a big problem. This book is perfect!

It literally only takes 15 minutes (sometimes less, sometimes slightly more) to revitalize your faith, listen to God's word and its application to you (without being preachy), and see what actual grace God is trying to share with you.

I highly recommend this both to the "novice" religious reader, as well as the "well-read" Christian. Either way, there is a lot God has to tell you through His own words and through the words of Bob Barnes.

A good book to use as your daily devotion. Each section has a short scripture reading, a page or two of comments, then a section suggesting actions you can take relating to the topic. This is a great way to see what the bible has to say about the promises and expectations that God has for men.

When teaching Bible studies on prayer, I have often looked for a tool to help those new to prayer answer the question of "Where do I begin"? This book is a wonderful starting point in that no matter what page you start on, you will always find an inspirational message and a place to begin your prayer time. I often find myself studying 3 or 4 sections at one time.

On the chapter on God and Religion we read:
"Iffer: I have a hard time believing that God wanted all of those nations of people to kill each other over religion. If God represents peace, it is hard to understand how people feel that it is right to have wars in the name of religion"
Is this for us, adults, to teach them of to learn from them? This is just an example of the richness of the material we can find in this excellent book. Seeing things the way others look at them and learning from it and sharing. Is this not the meaning of Loving? A beautiful book that would give us a pleasing and valuable experience in a journey into the vision of the youngsters, well written, simple, clean, beautiful.

I bought this book for my niece who will be starting middle school this fall. Her parents are both teachers and they all loved the book with it's honest, open conversations about issues every young teenager faces today. It was humorous and serious at the same time. Great fun! I recommend it highly.

I am astounded by the intelligent honesty of these two young authors. Margaret and Iffer are bold to discuss their inner-most thoughts openly, but even more bold to seek to publish while still in middle school. The chapters of the book are pertinent, especially the chapter on sex. Because I work with hundreds of teenage people each week, I know that Iffer says what many of his male peers would say in front of a girl: "I don't think we really need to talk about sex." Yet Iffer shakes off the initial hesitancy and addresses Margaret's questions of timing and appropriateness of sex at various ages head on. Great content and dazzling (yet not distracting) graphic design. Kudos to Ms. Krusi for seeking out bright and determined young authors who speak to an audience who is rarely addressed, yet one who reads more than most others- middle school-age kids. I am incredibly impressed.

The author of this book, Joan Borysenko, is a leading authority on women's spirituality, which confounds me, because I did not know there was such a thing. An authority on spirituality I mean, since spirituality - well, read the book, because it is very well written and it is the story of a woman who is searching for the perfect fit between herself, her physical "me" self, and her spiritual self. The woman and her husband have no problem traipsing the continents in quest of the answer to their why am I heres and who am I's, and it makes for very interesting reading. I can't imagine how it is expressed from a soul to a written page as it attempts in this book, but what I enjoyed was the various descriptions of all kinds of practices, cults, religions, sects, and the quest itself is daring and adventuresome. These are good people, this is a good book, but I wondered why they were looking. Isn't the answer in the mirror?

I had this book for a long time and just never was drawn to it. After reading THE SAI PROPHECY, I felt a real need to read it. It answered questions I had not even formed, and led my mind to solutions and possibilities I had never imagined. A real catalyst and a must for every woman on a spiritual search. Thank you, sister Boryshenko!

Honest self-examination without self-absorption. I highly recommend this book to any woman -- particularly any mid-life woman -- who is exploring what it means to be a spiritual creature, and any man who looks at the women in his life and wonders what might be going on for them.

This is the second book I have read by Ms. Hammond and I wasn't disappointed at all. In fact I read it in one day. This book is not just for single/married christian women but for any woman who is concerned about how she may or may not appear to the opposite sex or let alone to others as a whole. I recommend this book to all woman if for nothing else as a guide for self examination. Are you projecting the woman that you want others to see? Are you being and displaying the best in order to attract Gods best? Now that's a thought! Ms Hammond is only aiding us ladies with a 101 check list of things to enhance our relationships whether it be with your man or the MAN (God). Read, enjoy, and be blessed.

Okay, firstly, I'd like to thank the reviewer who believes that because Michelle has never been married, she may not be an authority on how to get and keep a man, or the attention of a man. You encouraged me to see just how fast I could buy and read yet another one of Michelle's awesome pieces. The book is classic "Michelle," full of Godly, sound, tried, tested and true advice. I highly recommend it. It is different and that makes it useful and a great, quick read. If you are (or even if you're not) a studier of God's word, you should know that there IS worthy advice according to scripture found in the Song of Solomon, Proverbs and other books of the bible. Michelle reflects that in this book. Buy it! ...NOW: Perhaps some women have been gifted with the patience and wisdom to wait on the RIGHT man, not willing to accept sorry substitutes, no matter how fine, rich or available they may seem. God has the right ONE for all of us. There was a time when I, too questioned Michelle's single status..I'm also single, and would like to have my husband, but in GOD's sovereign time. She is a stunning, intelligent, talented, annointed sister and yes, it puzzles me why God hasn't given her a mate yet. But while she is waiting, you'd be wise to follow the example and teaching that she offers freely. Well, actually for $8.99 plus shipping in this case. (smile) Thanks, Michelle for another powerful book. Come back to Salem soon. Peace.

The author explains that the materials come from a survey given to men from all walks of life. She was intelligent enough to obtain information from the source, the men women are trying to attract and keep.

This author is an author who hears from God. When you have a relationship with God and allow Him to use you as a vessel, your resume or experience means nothing, when God qualifies you that is all that you need.

I recommend this book whether you are trying to attract and keep a man or not. It reminds you to do what is necessary to reflect what God created you to be, a beautiful, confident woman.
