This book goes AGAINST Christian teachings. The author is an atheist wanker. Do NOT buy this book and support this attempt to poison our Christian youth. There should be an option to give a ZERO rating!

I really enjoyed this book but had to put it down a few times due to the graphic nature of some of the incidents. I would recommend it to a friend with a warning: “not for the faint of heart.” I guess it was so hard to read because I know most of it could have been true. The author did a great job in her research on the time period.

The vacuum is a great deal for the price. I’ve been impressed with its performance. However, it would have been nice to receive the one advertised in the photo. As others have indicated, this model no longer comes with a headlight or full-bag indicator, and the hose for use with the attachments is very short.

A book titled “Conversations with God” can be read from three basic perspectives: 1) the reader can accept this as the absolute word or holy bible of an objective God (i.e. God stands apart from us as an Almighty Creator who sits in judgment of His creation); 2) the reader reads it as a dialogue with a subjective God (God does not stand apart and sit in judgment of us); and 3) the reader treats it as an interesting work of creative fiction.

A careful reading of this book should preclude the first perspective. The philosophy contained in these pages maintains that God is subjective. In other words, we are part and parcel of God and therefore we can know God experientially. If God is an ocean, then we are each a drop from that ocean. Therefore a conversation with God is the same as a conversation with our own divine nature–our higher (or highest) inner self. I read the book from this perspective, which enabled me to respect the thoughts therein as being perhaps divinely inspired, while still taking it all with a grain of salt.

I found the book to be interesting, inspiring, and perhaps even enlightening. I have read quite a bit of spiritual philosophy, ranging from “new age” to traditional religions and many paths in between. While many of the traditional established religions contain a lot of negativity in the way of threats of horrific consequences for displeasing God, I found it refreshing that there is none of that here. Walsch’s God doesn’t care what you do, but created life with immutable laws such as karma (cause and effect). You are free to do as you please and God will not get angry at you or condemn you to hell. Walsch’s God maintains that we were all created to be Gods unto ourselves, and that whether we realize it or not, we are creating every aspect of our own reality both consciously and unconsciously every moment.

I received the large Furminator two days after I placed my order, and it was shipped from across the country. Thanks from a satisfied customer.
The Best of Ghirardelli

I’ve never written a review before but after reading various reviews I decided to give this a try. I found this book to be entertaining and a fun, easy read. It did not open up my eyes to the treatment of blacks in the south, nor did I find it very thought-provoking. I do agree with vernaculars used in the book – there is very much a class issue there. Those of the upper-crust spoke well, those of the lower-crust did not.

I think it’s important to see this book for what it is – a good, easy read. There is no hidden truth in this book. The author was attempting to explore her own complicated relationship with her maid. It is obvious that she did not do much research and that she wrote from a very narrow view point.

It does, however, open the doors to other books. It makes you think about these women and their culture. Too often in books the help is just relegated to the background. Here the author discussed their churches, their life, their neighborhoods. It showed that these women had the same struggles, the same wants. I found it upsetting that black men were mostly portrayed negatively. The few that were portrayed in a positive manner were used to provoke tragedy – as if the “white man” kills or maims the only “good” black men available.

I recommend reading this book with those flaws in mind. Read it as a work of fiction and not one of enlightenment. If you find it interesting then I recommend you look for other books at the black/white dilemma – Toni Morrison, Alice Walker, W. E. B. Dubois. Read one book from a white’s perspective, read one from a black’s.

This thing cleaned up my dog’s coat in 3 sessions. She’s a Chow-German Shepherd mix, and her coat has never looked better, plus the house is easier to clean!

I loved this book and the Saga is amazing. I borrowed the books from a friend, read them, and decided to read them again. I ordered this book and had it in no time. Good purchase.

We ordered a Lorex wireless system in early August so it could be set up for our absence in September. One camera did not see in the dark and the other saw only in black and white. The receiver was defective. The complete system was sent back to Lorex. Lorex returned one camera and one receiver, shorting me one camera, which was fine because on the one call in which I was able to get through to tech help they verified that the wireless systems loose too much resolution when more than one camera is used on the four camera receiver. I then ordered another camera and receiver to get half of the system functional. Then the battle started to get the missing camera refunded. Lorex eventually informed me that refunds would have to come from Amazon. Today, approximately 10 weeks after the Amazon return policy expired, Lorex shipped me the replacement camera, which is next to useless in my system and can’t be returned. Lorex products are junk, their tech help is useless as well as their return policy. Find another company from which to buy your surveillance equipment.

Although I have tried, really tried, to read other books about sales, particularly RE sales, I find myself struggling to find anything that resonates, much less inspires. When I started reading this book, however, I couldn’t put it down! It is so jam packed with solid, soulfful ideas, I stopped using my highlighter on passages I particularly liked because the entire book was turning yellow.

This is THE handbook for any agent, whether first day rookie or more experienced, who wants a highly satisfying and FUN – yes, fun! – career of which they can be proud.
