Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-02-19 Summary: Both theological and literary qualities ... This is the foremost work by bishop Bo Giertz, a man who combined spiritual and literary genius. Few authors have been able to express the central theological truths with such a depth and acuteness of perception, as well as a lively imagination. While most mature Christians in the end appreciate the spiritual value of the book most, its formal qualities are also evident. Giertz's power of living the part of his characters is well-developed, the beauty of his Swedish is noteworthy, and his ability to capture the ways ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-01-03 Summary: Stunning ... in my top ten book list ... This Lutheran novel is broken into 3 stories at different times chronologically. The newest edition of this book has a new chapter never before translated which is good because I always thought the novel ended too abruptly and left me wondering what had happened! I have not yet read this last chapter as I have an earlier edition. I connected immediately to this book. The following are 3 sections of the book that stunned me to which I hope would draw you in as it did me. In the first part we find a dying old man screaming ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2007-10-12 Summary: Powerful and extremely moving ... During the years of its reign as the Established Church of Sweden, the Evangelical Lutheran Church grew increasingly abusive, unresponsive, liberal, and divorced from the lives of the common Swedish peasants. But, during the 18th century, the Pietism movement came to Sweden, calling people to individual piety and personal holiness. The Church of Sweden reacted vigorously against the movement, resulting in split congregations, persecution, emigration, and, finally, reform. In this wonderful book, Swedish Lutheran Bishop ...more
[4] Rating: 4 Date: 2006-05-25 Summary: Touches a nerve ... Bo Giertz' The Hammer of God should be read by anyone entering the pastorate. The book is divided into three novellas, each set in a different era in a particular area of Sweden. Each novella basically follows the same story: A nominally Christian pastor recently graduates from a modernist university and gets assigned, against his desires, to a country parish. He soon undergoes a kind of conversion experience as he is faced with the realities of parish life, especially with the existential questions of his parishoners, ...more
Editorial Reviews — ... Product Description | In this bestselling novel, three pastors learn the necessity of relying on God's grace. They fall short of their pastoral duties through public humiliation, self-doubt, inability to accept God's promises in their own lives, and divisions and quarreling among their parishioners. Ultimately each man rejects temptations and permits the Holy Spirit to work through him. This revised edition includes the final chapter, never before published in English. The new introduction provides historical...more

Rammer Jammer Yellow Hammer: A Road Trip into the Heart of Fan Mania
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-02-27 Summary: Absolutely entertaining!! ... As reader, this book is well written and very entertaining. And, as all good books, it has great insights into human nature. As a college football fan, it was enjoyable to read about fellow followers. And, as an Alabama fan, it was neat to read about Alabama football events that I followed and/or participated in. A must read for all Alabama fans. A great read for college football fans. ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-01-23 Summary: Great read for any college football fan! ... I really enjoyed this read. However, I am a huge SEC college football fan. There were a few laugh-out-loud parts, and most of the book kept a good humurous pace. I would definitely recommend this book to any sports fan! ...more
[3] Rating: 4 Date: 2010-01-21 Summary: fans are nuts ... this is an interesting study of "fans". Mr St John chose to follow the fans of the Crimson Tide during one footbal season but he attempts to analyze "what is a fan"... he could have easily chosen a hockey team or even a famous performer. He did however convince me I NEVER want to go anywherein an RV. ...more
[4] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-01-21 Summary: Roll TIde, Ya'll! ... Loved it-this book captures what it is like to be a true fan of something, particularly a sports team. I read it out loud to my husband and we both laughed until we cried at some of the stories. These types of stories are repeated over and over all during football season all over the United States (we live in Arkansas and it is certainly true here in Razorback Country-the RVers call themselves the Road Hogs). Being born and raised a Bama fan, though, all the madness makes perfect sense to me and I must sheepishly admit ...more
Editorial Reviews — ... Product Description | What is it about sports that turns otherwise sane people into raving lunatics? Why does winning compel people to tear down goal posts, and losing, to drown themselves in bad keg beer? In short, why do fans care? In search of answers, Warren St. John seeks out the roving community of RVers who follow the Alabama Crimson Tide from game to game. A movable feast of Weber grills and Igloo coolers, these are hard-core football fans who arrive on Wednesday for Saturday’s game: The Reeses, who...more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-02-03 Summary: Prima! ... This book is absolutely amazing! I have taken German for about three years in college and two in graduate school. All of those "exceptions" to the rule are explained in detail with plenty of examples. I recommend this book to anyone wanting to master the language, teach, or to the intermediate to advanced student. ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-04-28 Summary: The Book I Want On A Desert Island ... This is hands-down the single book I would want to have if stranded on a desert island. Words cannot describe the awesomeness that is this book. Mr. Durrell's masterpiece demands superlatives. As far as printed material goes, this is all you need to go from intermediate to fluent in German. (Of course you still need to practice speaking, listening, and writing to become fluent). I am a U.S. citizen now living in Germany, and this book vastly improved my German. I can't say enough about it. Get it! Keep a copy next ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-10-09 Summary: Serious Learners Will Want This. ... Hello, I'm an American student of German. I have taken two college courses before picking up this book. I am a big fan of German music. I enjoy German bands that play schlager, Rock, Euro härte, Euro Techno, and even more traditional music. I have not finished this book yet. Although, from my initial look. I see a very complete set of rule of German grammar for the English speaker. This book is very dense. I would suggest, for most that have just started learning German, to consider a good overview of German before ...more
[4] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-04-24 Summary: An excellent grammar, when used correctly. ... As other reviewers have already emphasized, this is an excellent English language resource for German grammar. An incredible amount of detail is given, and attention is paid both to general rules and specific exceptions, even down to the most obscure and archaic. Both difficult and simple grammatical terms are explained through examples in English, which makes this book an excellent tool for coming to a deep understanding of the German language. As mentioned by others, this is no book for beginners. Only high-intermediate ...more

Product Description | This much-awaited new edition of Hammer's German Grammar and Usage --the pre-eminent, most authoritative German grammar reference in the English language--has been extensively revised with new German spelling changes and new usage examples. Instead of getting bogged down in idealized rules, Professor Durrell focuses on how Germans really speak. Included are clear and concise explanations, many examples from everyday life, and comprehensive cross-referencing and indexing....more

Hammer Films: The Bray Studio Years
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2007-08-17 Summary: The first half of the essential Hammer reference ... Wayne Kinsey's books on Hammer Films (The Bray Studios Years and The Elstree Studios Years) together form the essential reference on the short-lived British studio that brought us the greatest horror films of the 60's and 70's. The books are well-researched and packed with behind-the-scenes stories and photos. If you love Hammer, you need to own these books. I was under the impression that the first volume, Hammer Films: The Bray Studios Years, was out of print, because I had tried ordering it from several online dealers ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2004-06-27 Summary: Fascinating and essential ... I haven't put this book down since I first picked it up six months ago. Kinsey's history of Hammer's Bray years (i.e. until 1967) is full of fascinating details I have not encountered elsewhere. He really manages to inspire an affection and enthusiasm for both the films and the Bray studios themselves. By far the best section, and the reason I keep returning to the book, is the multi-page illustrated tour through the history of Bray's backlot, packed with rarely seen photos of Hammer's most memorable sets. Essential ...more
[3] Rating: 4 Date: 2004-06-06 Summary: A good try but not enough new and interesting material ... Who doesn't love Hammer Films? The author, Wayne Kinsey, a true fan, has devoted this book to the classic Hammer Years, at Bray Studio, a veritable Shangri-La, or mythical place, only this was real. On this lot Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing and dozens more gave their finest performances in a variety of monster, slasher, terror, sci-fi and less easily classifiable films, for a parade of studio execs who sometimes resembled a kind of family--ever the more so in retrospect. Kinsey presents a film by film breakdown, in ...more
Editorial Reviews — ... Product Description | Hammer Films was one of the most successful independent production companies of the 1950s and 60s. The company's movies conquered box offices around the world, but the movies it produced during this era were all produced at the same modest facility near Windsor, in the English Home Counties. Acclaimed Hammer expert Wayne Kinsey has gained exclusive access to production files and censor reports, and conducted numerous interviews during many years of research. The result is a definitive...more
