The Text of the New Testament: From Manuscript to Modern Edition Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)A great advantage of this book is that it is aimed at the general reader, not the trained New Testament scholar. You don't have to understand any Greek or have a seminary education to pick up this book and find a simple, clear discussion that answers your hard questions relating to the validity of and...

A History of Reading in the West Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)The content is wonderful! The book provides much insight to different reading practices and how they change through the years. But...1. The footnotes need to be on the same page as the text. It is hard to keep your place when you constantly have to flip to the back of the book. Also, if the notes were...

Building the Alaska Log Home Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I have read at least a dozen of the latest log cabin building books. Unfortunately, most of them do not go into enough detail on the scribe-fit building technique. This one, however, is the first that really does. This book includes many USEFUL pictures and doesn't ramble on about unimportant subjects....

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)It's been two long years since Ellie's older sister Nina has disappeared. Pretty much everyone has given up any hope that Nina will return, but not Ellie. Ellie can't bear to think Nina, her sister whom she loves and idolizes, could be dead. Ellie desperately wants to find Nina, and when she stumbles...

The Sellout: How Three Decades of Wall Street Greed and Government Mismanagement Destroyed the Global Financial System Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Rated 4.5 stars; rounded up.It's almost impossible to understand what happened on Wall Street in 2007 and 2008 without going back in time to the 1970s, the era in which investment banking changed forever. And that's what Gasparino does in this book, making it one of the most valuable books about the...

Sex and the City Uncovered: Exposing the Emptiness and Healing the Hurt Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)As a newly single again mom, I was feeling a little uneasy about reentering the dating world. Out of practice, hesitant yet pressured to get on with it already, I came across this book at the start of my journey - where I still am. And not a moment too soon. I feel no sense of urgency in finding someone...

Dog Man: An Uncommon Life on a Faraway Mountain Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This book is a rare treasure. As a dog lover, an amateur student of Japanese history, and a resident of Japan, I found it irresistable. It provides great information about a relatively unknown place in Japan, even to Japanese folks. It also chronicles a period of time in Japanese history from an unusual...

Aramaic Peshitta New Testament Vertical Interlinear Volume I Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Best Aramaic Interlinear set I've found, most useful when combined with the companion dictionary and concordance (together, a five volume set that is not inexpensive). My only complaint is that the vertical "one word at a time" format is not space efficient. This Interlinear would be much more usable...

Gospel of Barnabas (Apocrypha) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)The Gospel of Barnabas (GB) is a well known late-medieval forgery (most likely 15th or 16th Century Spain) which purports to be a lost or suppressed gospel by the apostle Barnabas. This edition is a re-release of the Ragg's early twentieth century translation amended to incorporate opening comments from...

Men Called Him Master Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I have been a Christian for almost twenty years and have not come across a book like this. While being very close to and following the Bible, this gem dialogues Jesus and his disciples as they really must have spoken. The real disciples, with their human frailties and failings are illustrated time and...

THE ILLUSTRATED EGYPTIAN BOOK OF THE DEAD (MIND, BODY, SPIRIT S.) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)While Dr. Saleem is certainly heartfelt in his presentation of the material, his work is marred by the long standing 19th century biases and a totally bizarre sense of linguistics. Much of what Saleem says reads as if taken directly from the works of Budge and the Theosophists. The idea of a "esoteric...

War of the End of the World Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This is perhaps Vargas Llosa's best novel and a must for all those well-meaning readers in the developed world who eagerly idealize Latin American revolutions without knowing anything about these countries.The book is based on the true story of Antonio Vicente Mendes Maciel ("O Conselheiro"), a mad prophet...

A Primer on Ugaritic: Language, Culture and Literature Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Introductory books on obscure subjects are usually themselves abstruse and enigmatic. However, "A Primer on Ugaritic Language, Culture, and Literature" is at the same time both erudite and accessible. This book should serve as a model for all introductory texts on ancient languages.I was a graduate student...

In the Corner: Great Boxing Trainers Talk About Their Art Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Considered by some to be the greatest book ever written about boxing, this book features interviews with a number of legendary boxing trainers as they talk about the art/craft of the sport. A must read for any serious fan of the fight game.Click Here to see more reviews about: In the Corner: Great Boxing...

Finish Carpentry (For Pros By Pros) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Being new to carpentry, I purchased this book to get aquainted with finish work. Previous reviewers spoke of this book being outdated and I agree. However, as an apprentice, I found useful methods including tips for scribing and fitting interior finishes. Putting these methods in the back of my mind...

When the Ghost Dog Howls (Goosebumps HorrorLand #13) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This is a really good book because it's scary and a little surprising. This book is about two cousins, Marnie and Andy, and what happens when they get a hound's tooth from Jonathan Chiller's gift shop.It's scary because the Ghost Dog is scary in the story. It was a little surprising when Marnie stole...
