Leather Books

Received very quickly and in great shape, would buy from again.

Thank you

I love this bible. I was in need of a different translation, since I have been reading NKJV forever. It gives me a fresh look at scriptures that are translated very close to what I am used to, but different enough to engage my thinking. I appreciate Max Lucado's commentary. He gives a creative spirit-filled touch. His love for God is evident throughout his commentary. Can anything be more important?
There is no concordance. Strong's concordance can be used if need be.

I have my devotionals day and night, and Max Lucado's Devotional Bible is truly inspiring. You will truly "Experience the Heart of Jesus".

I love this bible so much I have ordered many and given them away as gifts to many family and friends. It is so easy to understand and interpret. Every time I open and read scripture from it, I always instantly feel better about anything that has been troubling me. I get very excited when talking to people about their faith and what not and when someone happens to mention that they don't enjoy reading their bible...I smile and say, "Well, I have got a bible you should try..." Max Lucado is an amazing author and it feels like he is speaking right to you. I hope you give this bible a try, you won't be disappointed.

Of course the bible has always had meaning, but i talk in a sense for those who have had trouble understanding it. I think this bible was meant for me to find because now more then ever in my life I've managed to understand the will of The father and the son. In the past bibles confuggled me to the core. Alot of the old words and sentence structures kept me from catching interest in my life. Up to about a year ago I realized god was calling me to try and change. My first step was to get a bible and little did I know, since i was walking with the world, that the bibles have been updated to reflect modern language. I found that reading this bible was the best and most interesting thing I've done and Easy too. The setup into plain english makes it easy to understand everything that was hidden in my life, and the devotionals on the side make it easy to understand the subject of the stories your reading. Now i understand more what God did and still does for us through Jesus Christ. This book will definately make it easier for those who have trouble to learn the lessons of every story from the Old Testament to the New

Our church purchased these Bibles for the firefighters at our first responder fire dept. The quality was great and the background info for some of the firefighter traditions was really interesting. There are also sections that specifically minister to firefighters in their profession. These are a great gift for the dept., friends, or family members who sacrifice so much to serve us everyday.

I purchased The Firefighters Bible as a Christmas gift for my son who is currently in classes studying to be a Volunteer Fireman. I am very please with the product and the price was great!

This is a very good gift for anyone you may know who serves in the Fire service or EMT capacity. It is a great encouragement for those who know the Lord or for those who need to know Him.

Every firefighter should own this book. It's excellent and filled with readings and ceremonial programs in the appendix.

I bought this for my dad for Christmas and was so excited I just knew he would love it, but when it got here, three days after Christmas (amazon had promised it would be on time, but DHL dropped it off at the post office the Sat. before instead of taking it to our door!) the font was really really small. The bible is very nice, and the size makes it easy to carry to and from the station, but I'm 25 and it was too small for even me to read for any period of time. Kinda disappointed, but everything else about it was great.

This is a wonderful Bible for someone that is starting out. It is a good translation that is easy to understand. I give praises to God first of all for providing us with His Word, and second to Joe and Becky Wogoman for giving me this Bible as a gift. When I received this book as a gift, it changed my life!

This is a wonderful Bible. I thank my God for allowing me to find it. It relates things in the bible to things happening now in the world. It gives you a better understanding of Gods word and what he expects from us. I would recommend it to any one looking to understand the Bible better.

My Bishop recommended this Bible when I became saved. This is an excellent version for those who do not understand the regular King James Version. I have now been using this book for 10 years and need a new one. The front and back covers are gone. This book helped me understand what the Lord is telling me to do. I have grown soo much with reading this Bible...not only reading it but understanding it and feeling like I was in those times with the people as they experienced Jesus face to face. Buy it for your family and friends. Sometimes people don't read their Bible because they don't understand it. Any age group can understand this one. It's awesome!

I thank God for leading me to purchase this bible back in 1997, when I became a christian. It was very hard for me to understand the Old King James version. This bible is the New King James version, that is much easier to undertand. It really helped me to grow in every aspect of my life. For me it helped to translated the scriptures to everyday life. I would recommend this to teens, young adults or any new christian. You will truly be blessed.

I got this bible as a gift about 3 years ago. since then Ive had SEVERAL people fall in love with it and ask where they can get the exact same one.This Bible is the perfect blend of scripture and supporting insightful commentary. Im 32 years old and Ive compared mine to every other bible i have come across. This one is amazing. ..if you can find it...BUY IT...

John Matlock's review echoes my own feelings. Alex Nibley gives a touching
insight to aspects of Dr. Nibley's character that are, to say the least,
interesting. The text is excellent; the illustrations plenteous; all
adding to the readability and supplementation of a glimpse into the life
of Hugh Nibley.

I have read many of Hugh Nibley's works, and have always been impressed with his brilliant mind combined with his great faith. Due to his erudition; he was able to energize Mormon apologetics and set the direction that Mormon scholars have been pursuing for the last 60 years. He knew at least 10 languages fluently including most of the important ancient languages where he gleaned most of his material for defending the church. I recently read Sergeant Nibley, Ph.D.: Memories of an Unlikely Screaming Eagle, recounting his experiences during WWII, which whetted my appetite for learning more about him. As a result I picked up this book.

The format for this biography was a little bit different than others I have encountered. The book would have a chronological chapter, followed by a thematic chapter, repeating this cycle throughout the book. It turns out that this format worked well for Nibley's life. I was able to see the sequence of his life, but was also able to see major themes of his life that did not fit within a short chapter. An example was a chapter on his humor. It gave example throughout his life, but showed how consistent it was. Another example was a chapter on his fascination with temples.

I was already familiar with his apologetic work, but this book highlighted his social activism of which I learned much. He was a staunch environmentalist and lover of the outdoors. He was an anti-war critic. He was not afraid to criticize Mormon's and their leaders for their materialism and other faults. He was one man that could get away with it.

I came away from reading this book with a desire to study more of his writings; not only his work on defending the church, but also his social commentary. I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in the life of this great man.

With Hugh Nibley: A Consecrated Life, author Boyd Peterson has produced of the most fascinating biographies I have ever read. I had been an avid reader of Hugh Nibley's writings ever since 1975, when a LDS member in a branch in Kendall, England, loaned me a copy of his 1957 work, An Approach to the Book of Mormon. Nibley's astonishingly wide ranging erudition, brilliant prose, fascinating insights, and blew me away, and I have continued to read and draw on his work and example for 30 years. I looked forward to reading the biography for many years, and enjoyed the publication of several chapters in a variety of LDS academic journals, and I talked with Peterson for a few moments after he had given a presentation on Nibley's WWI experiences at a symposium in Salt Lake City. The long wait for the book was worth it. The book is a clear-eyed labor of love, and a masterpiece in its own right.

Peterson's introduction to Hugh Nibley came via his marriage to Zina Nibley, Hugh's youngest daughter. He began working on the biography over a decade ago, gathering correspondence, diaries, conducting interviews with family, friends, acquaintances, over many years. He documents everything, footnoting his sources for everything, obviously influenced in this approach by the man himself. (In contrast, Martha Beck's recent book footnotes nothing, and the difference in commitment shows. At one point Beck refers to the biography of her father, but it is clear that she only read the page that mentions her accusations against her father-in Peterson, page 400. All of the key claims that she makes about Hugh's state of mind, financial situation, beliefs, and scholarship, are contradicted and amply documented in Peterson's biography. For example, when she claims that he couldn't job outside of BYU, Peterson records several occasions when Hugh was offered much more money to go elsewhere.)

Daughter Zina, Peterson's wife, includes a fascinating introduction, consisting of 12 vignettes designed show what it was like to grow up as Hugh Nibley's daughter. Considering the hoopla over the recent publication of Martha Nibley Beck's expose, Leaving the Saints, Zina's chapter here offers a fascinatingly different portrait of Hugh Nibley as a father, from one was only 18 months younger than Martha, who slept in the bottom bunk under where Martha slept until she was a teenager. For instance, in vignette 10, on page xx, "She comments that "Daddy bought the big colorful French comics at BYU's bookstore, and read them to Martha and me as bedtime stories. He would point to the words and illustration details and talk about them; not just the story plots and the history, but also the language, explaining French pronounciation, and how much more regular the spelling is in Latin languages that are conservative, compared to English, which since it borrows words from so many sources, has an irregular spelling system. When I got to first grade, I couldn't read very well, but I sure could misspell." And she concludes, building on a memory of her daddy pushing her in a swing hanging from a tree limb, "Growing up with Hugh Nibley as a father, I learned this: the world, with all its exhilaration, giddiness, and danger, is actually pretty safe, as long as you are on a course that strong ropes and sturdy knots and unmovable, unshakable faith pushing you higher. Then all you have to do is hang on tight."

The biography proper continues with accounts of Hugh Nibley's Scottish ancestry, and his early life in Oregon. From there, Peterson begins to alternate biographical chapters with thematic chapters. For example, there are chapters on "Hugh Nibley as a Social Critic" and "Hugh Nibley as a Naturalist", "The Clown of Professions: Hugh Nibley and Scholarship", "Hugh Nibley and War" and "The Home Dance: Hugh Nibley Among the Hopi," "Taking Himself Lightly: The Wit of Hugh Nibley." All of these are fascinating in themselves, even though this approach brings some repetition, the different focus adds to the flavor of the volume, and shows the range of Nibley's interests, influence, and thought.

The biographical chapters all contain rich details, observations, and interesting stories. We get the account of Hugh's NDE, his LDS mission to Germany in the 1930s, his six weeks alone in the Oregon forests, his UCLA education, his joining the army in WWII, experiences in intelligence, and in combat with the 101st Airborne Division at Utah Beach, Operation Market Garden, the Battle of the Bulge, and his experience of the war's aftermath.

In contrast to Martha's scanty gossipy speculations about Hugh's mother, here we get a fully drawn portrait, drawn from interviews and letters. Hugh's wife, Phyllis, also comes across as a fully rounded personality, with her own interests and distinctive strong character compared to the reduction to beehive hairdo, and sock-puppet witness that appears in Leaving the Saints. We get the legendary story of Hugh's courtship (his decision to marry the first girl he met at BYU, who turned out to be Phyllis) and the development of a growing family.

Peterson includes both biographical and survey chapters discussing Hugh Nibley's scholarship on the Book of Mormon, the Pearl of Great Price, and the Temple in antiquity. All of these chapters show an excellent grasp of Hugh thought and work, as well as the critical responses to it, and the impact it continues to have on the larger LDS community, and beyond.

Every reader will have favorite passages. I was fascinated by the friendship between the Yugoslavian basketball star, Kresmir Cosic and Hugh Nibley, as well as that between Nibley and Egyptologist Klaus Bayer. I have been touched and inspired by his discipleship and commitment as well as his scholarship. Peterson concludes by discussing that "Not only is the private man consistent with the public man, but Hugh's actions have been consistent with his words." A brilliant book. A fine tribute and an important account of a fascinating man.

I have read many Latter-day Saint Bios, and many non-LDS one's, and this is the best of them all. Boyd Petersen is remarkable in his writing style, presentation, scholarship, and detail. I imagine that if there were a college class on "How to Write a Good Bio," this book would be the manual! It truly does not get any better than this! There really is no better source about this man than this book; and you would be hard pressed to find it in any better presentation!
Hugh Nibley may only be an LDS known scholar, but when it comes to a man's legacy and impact upon the world around him, you would be hard pressed to find another as successful and powerful as Nibley. In this honest and 'bare all' approach, Petersen allows us the glimpse into the life of a man whose intellect and impact rivals any other man or woman who has ever lived. The reader quickly becomes aware of the fact that they are reading about a life that will have forever changed the world. "Hugh Nibleys" only come around once in a while. He is a man that could, and did, raise the level of scholarship, study and human knowledge. He could have been anything he wanted. If you are looking for a book that is well written and about an amazing subject... this book is for you.

In my next life... I want to come back as Hugh Nibley, or at least have his brain! Perhaps, the most brilliant man of our day!

This is one of the best biographies I have read in years. Bios can be hard to write (or read) because covering a whole life is not easy to do. I think Boyd Petersen does a great job here. Every other chapter is devoted to teachings of Hugh Nibley. This provides a great balance to the story since teachings make up such a big part of Hugh Nibley's life. Hugh Nibley has lived a most fascinating life. I would rank this right up there with great biographies of the prophets (such as Ezra T. Benson, Gordon B. Hinckley and Spencer W. Kimball). I can't quite get through all of Nibley's most scholarly work, but I appreciate much of what he has given to the LDS community, the best book being "Approaching Zion". Read the biography - and if you read any book of Hugh Nibley's, read "Approaching Zion".

Encouraging reminders that are Biblically based. Jim's insight is refreshing for anyone who is a leader. I'm ready for more writings from Jim.

The time I have to invest in reading is very limited given the fact that I am the father of young children. Jim's book fits perfectly into my busy schedule and his bite size nuggets of wisdom enrich my personal as well as professional life. I highly recommend this as a gift you can give to yourself or any leader in your life in need of a daily relevant reboot. Get ready to think differently while aligning with what's important to God.

Jim Sybert presents innovative and practical ideas to to bring to an organization. Each idea is presented with a scriptural reference from the Christian Bible. A must for believers in management and those who hope to be. I found it very useful and thought provoking.

My husband received this book from our church leaders. He started reading this book and it made such a change in him. I could see how much he was growing as a leader/husband. His confidence was growing and his outlook on everything from work, home, and church was starting to click. This is a good book for someone who is looking to improve/change their way of thinking and give themselves a new perspective towards leadership.

I find Jim's ability to 'cut to the chase' style refreshing and challenging. Each reading addresses a theme that challenges my thinking about that topic in such a way that expands the applications beyond the work place.
I enthusiastically recommend the 'Mini' as an anchor resource in the daily challenges of life.

Other reviews have discussed the translation quality and literary elegance of the REB - suffice it to say that it's the version I keep warming to after spending time with more literal translations like the NASB and ESV. I had an Oxford Study Bible/REB, but replaced it with this edition because I just wanted to read the Bible without the distractions of references, citations, study notes, stilted language, etc. Even translation quibbles fade into the background when you can simply focus and listen to the message of God's Word.

This hardback edition is of very high quality. The overall layout and typesetting are outstanding. My first and continued response to this edition is that Cambridge has published a version that tangibly looks and feels like a work of great classic literature, more so than even the leather-bound editions. The binding appears to be sewn so that the book opens flat for easy reading. The font used (Swift) is set at a smaller 8/9 point size, but still very comfortable to read. The paper is thin, but has minimal bleed through from underlying pages - I have not tried a highlighter yet. There is slightly less than 1/2" margin on the outside of the text - it doesn't feel cramped on the page, but leaves little room for notes if you're so inclined.

I heartily recommend this edition to anyone looking for a durable "text-only" Bible to use for personal reading and devotions.

I love this translation and use it more than any other. It really brings everything to life. It just doesnt get any better!

None of the other comments seem to cover the leather binding. I just got it. It's the usual high-quality Cambridge work. The typography looks good, and is readable. It gets all the details right (ligatures, proper use of small caps, letter-spacing). The design of the Swift font gets good readability from a small font size. I'm old enough to like large type in many cases, but this 8-point Swift is just fine. By using a small font, they're able to produce something that fits comfortably in you hands for reading.

It's unfortunate that the REB didn't get much attention in the US. It seems to be nearly going out of print. I think it's a better combination of accuracy and readability than most of the translations that followed it.

In addition to the Cambridge text edition, the Oxford Study Bible is worth looking at. It has very useful references and notes. It's also well designed, in 10 point Baskerville (though they don't use ligatures, which really should be done for that font). Unfortunately the leather edition seems to be non-existent. Of course it's significantly larger than this Bible

I have been studying the Bible for 40 years, in the original languages as well as dozens of versions in English, French, German, and Spanish. The Revised English Bible, an updated version of the 1970 New English Bible ("Jehovah" became "Yahweh," for instance) is the best for all-around use, including personal study as well as reading in church. One example: In John 6:60, the disciples react to Jesus' teaching that he is the Bread of Life. "Skleros estin ho logos houtos. Tis dunatai autou akouein?" In the literal RSV translation: "This is a hard saying. Who can hear it?" The REB: "This is more than we can stomach! Why listen to such talk?" As a preacher and teacher, this version is a fantastic help to understanding and communicating the meaning of the text.
I wish many more anglophones would use the REB. Why waste time with second-rate paraphrases when you can use the best?

I love the nearly lyrical way this translation reads. I prefer this rendering of the Gospel according to John to that of any other translation. Truly a gem for personal study.

Loved this book, told in the first person this is Matt Brennan who rides into town and into trouble - there are two ranchers who are fighting a smaller third holding who is between them, they want his land and water rights. Within minutes of getting to town both men tell him to join their crew - he refuses both and goes out to see Ball, on the third place - but not before he has fallen in love with the woman of his dreams.

If he is going to set up house he is going to need some assets behind him, he likes Ball, the old man caught between the two ambitious ranchers, and he makes a deal to be a fighting partner for the spread. Between the two of them they think they can make it work.

This is about much more than settling the problems of three men out for power - Brennan has to make peace with them all, but at the same time he has to sort out the huge man, Park, who is the current suitor for Moira (the woman Matt has fallen in love with) but there is also something sinister in Parks past - and in his current dealings. There is also something going on with a crooked lawyer called Booker who seems to be instigating trouble in the background.

Brennan resolves all so that peace can reign in the valley - and its really well done. This is a resolution that I didn't expect but like all of L'amour's books, there are some complex relationships based on loyalty and respect rather than black and white.

When it comes to reading Louis L'Amour the modern western fan is faced with having to take things in context. Remember that L'Amour's works were primarily written in the fifties and sixties and, as a result, have a certain "dignity" about them that no longer applies with the westerns of today, especially those on the big screen.

Take SILVER CANYON for example. There is plenty of action here to be sure but it is painted much more subtly on L'Amour's canvass than, let's say, on those of Larry McMurtry or on Clint Eastwood's or Kevin Costner's movie screens. Frankly L'Amour or his readers would not have tolerated the graphic, raw, often harsh violence of today's western s offerings. It's still there he just expresses it in ways that are less bombastic. For example, instead of saying, "the bullet smashed into my elbow sending blood and bone flying everywhere..." L'Amour offers, "I felt a tug at at my sleeve..." even though it is apparent to the reader that the first version is still what happened.

L'Amour wrote with a clear sense of nostalgia and romance about the west. He was much for the kindred spirit of John Wayne and John Ford than of McMurtry, Eastwood or Costner.

I thoroughly enjoyed SILVER CANYON, a tale of revenge, deceit and, as is the case with all L'Amour tales, of ultimate white-hatted triumph and justice. Matt Brennan rides into the sleepy town of Hattan's Point and awakens the flames of a smoldering range war. He discovers friends, fiends and meets the girl of his dreams. Like all other L'Amour pieces reading SILVER CANYON in the correct mindset is absolutely essential. If you do you'll find another L'Amour western masterpiece.

Douglas McAllister

This is the first Louis L'Amour book I have read so I can not compare it to any of his other books. This story makes me want to read more L'Amour books. I like a book that can tell a good story in less that 200 pages, I don't want read books by the pound. It reminds me of the old term "pocket book" because they can fit in your back pocket and can be read and enjoyed in a short amount of time. The main characters are likeable and the villians are people that need killing, what more do you want in a Western.

Louis L'Amour wrote many, many westerns and in my opinion this is one of the best of them. The story line is very cohesive and involving. The characters are rich and well developed. As always L'Amour weaves a rich and very detailed landscape, with a lot of attention to details. The plot was intriguing and kept you guessing right up until the end. Just a very, very well written story!

When I tell people that I love Louis L'Amour I get some pretty weird looks in return. To my friends I am known to read quite a bit of heavy history and biography and it seems odd to them that, given my normal reading diet, I could find anything good to say about such "light" reading as L'Amour. Still I find L'Amour's talesmithing abilities to be without peer.

L'Amour wrote with a distinctive style and filled his stories with action and intrigue. No, his works are not the extremely violent works that typify modern westerns like UNFORGIVEN or OPEN RANGE. But then L'Amour wrote in a time when such graphic action would not have been readily accepted.

With all this in mind, I loved SILVER CANYON, a tale of vengeance, lies and, as with virtually all of L'Amour's stories, of the good guy winning in the end. The tiny western hamlet of Hattan's Point is a sleepy town until the day that Matt Brennan seems to bring with him a heated, all out war that involves practically everyone in town. Matt makes friends and enemies with equal ease. He also finds the love of his life and is in hot pursuit despite her being the daughter of one of the main combatants in the feud.

Who will win out? Read SILVER CANYON.

THE HORSEMAN

if you cant get the new spirit filled bible then def buy this one. Great price and amazing inputs.

I have given this to three of my favorite teenagers who were looking for a study bible that was packed full of good, easy-to-find study information, but didn't make them look like they were geeks while carrying it.All three report taking it out in class and using it for free reading time and it slips under the radar. Their youth pastors like it because of the terrific word knowledge and historical information right on the pages with the bible text. I own the adult version, and will continue to give the student version as I see the need.

Great NKJV Bible, with Jack Hayford as editor... great interpretations of scriptures, great insight, with multiple viewpoints represented... very, very helpful and not just for students! but aimed at younger people... still a great tool for any age...

bigger print would have made it a 5 star, but it is a great study book.

I am 31 years old and have been walking with God for 9 years now. I try to read thru the bible 1 time per year. I have the privilege of having 5-10 different tranlations and different study bible's including the grown up version of this one. Not telling you this to brag as you dont know who I am, I am building up to the point that this is my favorite one. The study notes dont get in the way with too much "interpretation". It just states the facts in very simple terms. And will encourage you in your walk with God wether you are a new believer or have been walking with God for many years. Everyone that has had any exposure to this Bible will tell you that it is GREAT!

I have read a lot of Christian writing - not only Theology in basically all it's manifestations (Catholicism, all forms of Protestantism, Orthodoxy), but Literature as well (Paradise Lost, The Confessions of St. Augustine, The Pilgrim's Progress, The Divine Comedy). I am intimiately familiar with C.S. Lewis, Madeleine L'Engle, Tolkien, etc. I've also read thoroughly very talented Christian poets like John Donne, William Blake, John Milton, Edmund Spencer, etc.

And there is not a single writer like George MacDonald. His writing has the closest feel to the Gospels as anything I've ever read. He addresses Christianity in so many ways - logically, emotionally, practically, humanly. He portrays Christ in such a different way than anyone else I have ever read. He portrays a Christ that truly speaks to your soul.

There are truths in these sermons that cannot be found anywhere else. If you're feeling the flimsiness of "church" faith - if you want to get a better sense of what real, deep faith in God is about - I suggest you read these sermons. They have changed my life in ways I cannot express.

I came to learn of this work through another author on the subject of God's inescapable love, and the author (a professor of philosophy) mentioned that this book had an immeasurable impact on his life. I saved my money and purchased the book over 5 years ago, and I have to admit that it is by far the most influential and treasured book I own. I have been a Christian for over 20 years, and I have gone through many highs and lows. This book (I'm sure through God's providence) came at a particularly dark time of my life when I began to doubt the underpinnings of what I had been taught as a conservative Bible Belt Protestant.

What I found through reading this book was a God who was better than I had ever thought, a God who was worthy to be worshipped and loved. For the first time, I realized that it was alright not to accept certain notions of God or theology(like that there is a list sins that are unpardonable) and that these ideas truly made no sense and were contradictory to God's nature.

Of all of the sermons, my absolute favorite is Justice. If there is a more profound explanation of God's justice and love, I have yet to see it. This should be a must-read for all Christians and has profoundly influenced my worldview.

Be blessed and encouraged by reading this book. I find myself reading it over and over with fresh insight each time.

Without a doubt, the finest synthesis of Christian theology I have ever read. I have a library of tomes on theology, but this volume is in a class by itself. I have read it several times and continue to refer to it very frequently. It would be difficult to overemphasize how positively MacDonald's hopeful and joyous sermons have impacted my faith. If you want to enrich your faith, MacDonald's "Unspoken Sermons" would be at the top of my list of recommendations.

This book quite possibly saved my faith. I have never found a more beautiful, yet simultaneously intellectual and thought-provoking book. After reading this, I have been devouring any George MacDonald text I can lay my hands on, and in all of them, I find a picture of God that is beyond any other I have enountered. MacDonald seems to understand (or at least articulate) better than any other author I have discovered God's character, how God relates to us, and vice versa.

I find myself wanting to give examples of what I mean, but I don't believe any summary I could provide would do his thoughts justice. You'll just have to read the book! You will be amazed, enlightened, and filled with joy, faith, and perhaps relief that there is a deeper way to look at Christianity than we often find in Christian writing.

One specific note: The sermon titled "The Eloi," on Jesus' cry, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" is perhaps the best single piece of writing I have ever read. No, not perhaps. It IS the best single piece of writing I have ever read. If you find yourself in the midst of the proverbial "dark night of the soul," and are not able to find God or feel his presence, I would make this first on your reading list.

Be blessed by this book. I have been.

George MacDonald's collection of sermons has profoundly influenced my spiritual life.

Buy this book. At first you might be intimidated by the paragraph-long run-on sentances and slightly antiquated language, but after reading a couple of sermons you'll grow accustomed (read: learn love) to his verbose yet eloquent style of writing. This collection of Christian writings will edify, challenge, and inspire you regardless of your doctrinal background or spiritual maturity.

This thesaurus is really good. It does a really good job of finding good words to use instead of other words that aren't as good. They do a good job of putting the words in order and make it easy to find the good words to use. Over all this is a good purchase.

Loved that the Thesaurus landed on my desk within three days. And in perfect condition. Thanks!

The efficiency of your operation is so rare these days; it's greatly admired and appreciated on this end.

Well done and keep up the good work!

Excellent book, bought it for my grandsons who love to write, and I figured they could use it for school.

This thesaurus that i purchased here is very helpful,i had some predicaments before to write a well- written essay like a student in college because of my simple words.My essays were very simple because the words make them simple and boring.From the moment that i brought this thesaurus,i did improve my self and my essays are more interesting to read with my varaition using the words.

Everyone in the family has used the New World Thesaurus at one time or another since our purchase. It's easy to use and complete. Anyone with kids in school or adults who have to develop content in their jobs will find this book a valuable resource.
