Customer Reviews — [1] 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
[2] 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
[3] Rating: 4 Date: 2006-07-26 Summary: Law/Gospel distinction - the forgotten doctrine of the Reformation ... This is an excellent book and much needed for evangelicals in our day. Although this is laden with some Lutheran thought that I theologically disagree with (being a Reformed Baptist), so that a small amount of discernment is required, from my point of view, the thrust of the book is about Christ alone as the sole foundation of our hope and the distinction between Law and Gospel. For one who generally does not read novels, this book is welcome both for these theological reasons and for the interest in the stories themselves. ...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: 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
[3] 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
[4] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-10-16 Summary: What a great read for any football fan ... I have read this book twice when a friend loaned me the book. Now that it's football season again. I wanted to again visit all the fun that attending an Alabama football game provides. The book is colorful and well written. I think it will only make you want to get to Tuscaloosa to see one live and feel the experience! ...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: 2009-09-12 Summary: Hammer's German Grammar and Usage ... An excellent reference for beginning, intermediate, and advanced German speakers. Explanations are clear and thorough. I should have purchased this book years ago! ...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

Included are clear and concise explanations, many examples from everyday life, and comprehensive cross-referencing and indexing....more
Hammer Films- A Life In Pictures: The Visual Story of Hammer Films
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-07-19 Summary: One of the best books on Hammer Films ... This book may strike some people as pricey, but if you love Hammer Films like I do, it is well worth it. This book is different from other Hammer books in that it is totally visual. Most of the pictures have never been published before, and there are a number of behind-the-scenes photos which show a side of Hammer Films most fans have not seen. This book does not contain a "nuts and bolts" history of Hammer--there are plenty of other books which do that. This is a book for the hard-core Hammer fan who thinks he or ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-03-01 Summary: Beautiful Photo History of Hammer Films ... This is a fantastic book. Hundreds of photos showcase the studio that was Hammer. Broken down into chapters including Frankenstein, Dracula, Science Fiction, Drama, Fantasy, Comedy, etc. The photos are crisp and clear, mostly b/w, but there are several color sections. You will spend hours with this book. I loved it and wish there were more books like this. Limited to 2500 copies, get yours today before they are gone. ...more

You will be guided through this wonderful collection of photos by Kinsey himself,the celebrated author...more

Editorial Reviews — ... Product Description | Q: Why, despite all the shortages, was the toilet paper in East Germany always two-ply? A: Because they had to send a copy of everything they did to Moscow. Communist jokes are the strangest, funniest, most enchanting and meaningful legacy of the eighty years of communism in Russia and Eastern Europe. The valiant and sardonic citizens of the former Communist countries—surrounded by secret police, threatened with arrest, imprisonment and forced labor, a failed economic system, and bombarded...more
