The book on domain-driven design .......2007-03-11
The reference on domain-driven design. A good book, but at times difficult to read and really get involved in. Takes a very high-level approach to design and doesn't discuss some implementation details of going down the domain model path. It took me some time to get through this book.

A must-read for every believer who talks to other people .......2007-09-06
NOTE: This is a preliminary review, as I'm still making my way through the rest of the book. But I was so arrested by what I read in the first four chapters that I "needed" to post a review immediately.
Biblical, Gospel-centered Book .......2006-06-21
Christian books that deal with practical application issues are often little different than secular self-help books. Do this. Don't do that. Here's a five-step plan for success. No so with Paul David Tripp's War of Words. This book takes a Christ-centered, gospel approach to considering the issue of communication. He deals with matters of the heart and asserts the only hope for heart change lies with God and the gospel of grace.
Powerful .......2006-05-31
"No matter where you live, no matter what you do every day, there is one thing that you do all day long. You talk." (3) So begins this insightful and practical book on our communication struggles. What sets this book apart from others on the same topic is its profound depth in addressing the issues of our words. "Our communication struggle is not primarily a struggle of technique, but a struggle of the heart" (30). Tripp doesn't settle for superficial treatment. He understands that the war of words is really part of a deeper war: the war for our hearts and souls, the war between the Word made flesh, and the enemy, whose primary tools are words of distortion, deception, and destruction.
Grace-filled help for speech! .......2005-10-18
This book has been a most convicting and yet hopeful book for my Bible study group... one of the most practical and fundamental ways to really put into practice what I say I believe as a Christian!
War of Words Great Teaching Tool .......2005-09-16
I love this book! We are currently using it in our Sunday school class as a Family counseling class. It is more geared towards married couples. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to "shape up" their communication skills!

Terrific Tool for Any Desk .......2005-01-10
Personal Notes: How to Write from the Heart for Any Occasion by Sandra E. Lambhad thought many times of writing a book on how to write personal notes, a nearly lost social art-form; however, I'm glad I never got around to it because I could not have written the book nearly so insightfully as Sandra. She combines the "how to's" of polite and pertinent note writing with wisdom of the spirit and heart of both the sender and receiver of the notes. Not only does she guide you in how to write notes, she also guides you in the psychology and empathy required to write from your heart. You'll learn how to put yourself in another's shoes in order to know how and when to reach out witrh a note. A very helpful and knowledgeable book for every home, a great tool for teachers and parents, and important skills for business and interpersonal relationships. This would be an excellent graduation or wedding shower gift. Personal Notes is really worth having
Heartfelt Solace .......2004-04-28
Using the easy steps the author outlines in this lovely book, I was able to offer solace to a friend who'd just lost her job; and to another who'd just lost her partner of many years; and to still another who'd just learned she was receiving a reward she'd worked for for many years. It wasn't that I was "borrowing" the author's words; she helped me get immediately in touch with my own. And, I've never felt I expressed myself better and in a way that was more helpful to another soul!
Back to Civility .......2004-04-19
How refreshing to see such wonderful notes for all sorts of special occasions. I especially love Lamb's suggestions for ways to build traditions, and her ideas for enriching our lives by creating warm and loving bonds with family and friends. Here, too, is the best advice I've ever seen on real ways to repair relationships that have been fractured by harsh words and resulting grudges. Buy it, and embrace it, and cultivate a return to civility!
Book Description
Every day, 2,600 Americans die of cardiovascular disease -- and despite remarkable interventional and surgical procedures, over 650,000 new heart attacks occur annually. In The Heart Speaks, Dr. Mimi Guarneri reveals groundbreaking new research that the heart is a multilayered, complex organ, possessing intelligence, memory, and decision-making abilities independent from the mind -- and that healing the heart can have more to do with healing the mind and soul than we ever knew.
From childhood in a family riddled with heart disease to a medical career facing the pounding heartbeats of cardiac emergencies, Dr. Guarneri draws us into the intimate moments of life and death, and leads us on a riveting exploration of the heart's many mysteries. Through her compelling memoir we see that it is only by knowing the whole heart -- its mental, emotional, spiritual, and universal aspects -- that we can truly heal.

"WEAVING MEDICAL NARRATIVE AND CUTTING-EDGE SCIENCE, DR. MIMI GUARNERI EXPLORES THE FRONTIERS BEYOND THE PHYSICAL HEART. Every day, 2,600 Americans die of cardiovascular disease -- one person every thirty-three seconds. Ten times more women die of heart disease than breast cancer. Despite remarkable interventional and surgical procedures, over 650,000 new heart attacks occur annually. With groundbreaking new research, Dr. Guarneri skillfully blends the science and drama of the heart's unfolding. She reveals the heart as a multilayered, complex organ and explores the new science that indicates the heart acts as a powerhouse of its own, possessing intelligence, memory, and decision-making abilities that are separate from the mind.

Excellant Book. .......2007-10-01
A friend borrowed me her book. It was an excellant book. It demonstrated through the stories, that the heart is a unique organ. I found myself at times crying because of people's successful stories and well as laugh at others. I love the idea of having doctors listen to their patients. I intend to send copies to my doctors for Christmas and give them a reading assignment. After all, it isn't only the patient who must learn, doctor should also learn through their patients.
Great info in a quick read .......2007-09-26
A winning combination of this cardiologist's memoir together with great information about heart disease and all that influences it. Compelling stories from her own practice and examples of each facet discussed.
valuable reading .......2007-08-08
Heart Speaks was recommended by a friend who is a health professional. I am glad that I took the advice and purchased the book. I have since loaned it out to several other friends. Since the book is written in a flowing easy to read format it can be read in 2 days. The scientific evidence is presented in laymans terms. The book contains invaluable information on the connection between our hearts, brains, emotions and thereby teaching the reader how to take care of the whole self and live a fuller healthier happy life.
Excellent, but not groundbreaking (see similar ideas in Yogananda's books) .......2007-01-10
What an enjoyable read! It's great to see a bona-fide MD come into thinking that is appropriate to the 21st century. Science and forward-thinking practitioners such as Guameri clearly are learning what the Yogi's have known since 1500 BC. I highly recommend this book, but it should be followed by the more profound understanding available from Yogananda or other seer.
Recommended .......2006-12-25
I had no idea that this book was going to be more about alternative medicine methods. I had been skeptical before, but I read this book with an open mind, and it really opened my eyes to the medical world.
Book Description
Awakening the Heart is a stirring personal reminder that encouraging children to discover the words and images of their own lives, as we discover our own, is a crucial devotion. We all need such books as lanterns and guides.
Fans of the best-selling For the Good of the Earth and Sun will applaud this sequel by beloved author Georgia Heard - an inspiring and practical handbook that celebrates the natural power of poetry to teach the essential tools of all writing.
Awakening the Heart explores how to cultivate the poet in every elementary and middle school student - through well-drawn examples, detailed exercises, creative projects, and down-to-earth classroom teachings. Along the way, we learn how to: create environments that encourage children to express their innate sense of wonder; introduce poetry that will engage them; and help children make the transition from reading and talking to writing.
Best of all, Awakening the Heart is filled with luminous poems - by children, famous poets, and Heard herself.

Add Depth to you Poetry Instruction .......2004-02-04
I used this book as a basis for starting a poetry study in my classroom of 4th graders. The information and ideas that Ms. Heard gives are fantastic. It helps you create an poetry friendly environment, not just a few lessons. My students responded whole-heartedly to the suggested activities. The heart map activity was one of their favorites. She gives advice on how to help children write from their hearts and access true emotion (as opposed to writing about surface feelings,"I like my Nintendo"). This is the best poetry book for classroom instruction that I've found. Also, it is an easy and quick read.
Excellent support for creating a vibrant poetry classroom .......2001-07-07
This is a wonderful book for both the new and the experienced teacher hoping to bring depth and breadth to their classroom poetry programs. I used it as a first-year teacher of writing, but ended up buying a second copy after sharing-out my original with a colleague with substantially more experience.
For starters, the book is well-written and concise. For busy teachers (is that a tautology?) this means you will really read and really use it. It has all the elements that keep such readers engaged: practical classroom ideas, samples of student work, segmentation of topics into smaller components and, wide-ranging perspective.
Most importantly, however, the book has PASSION! Heard launches you with an introduction entitled "Poetry, Like Bread, Is for Everyone". She maintains this level of enthusiasm through to the last page, where she quotes Matthew Fox to the effect that "The Celtic peoples... insisted that only poets could be teachers... knowledge that is not passed through the heart is dangerous."
I agree - passion HAS TO BE the core of a poetry program in elementary or middle school. Amidst the wash of demand for reading and writing more expository material that standardized testing has brought to the writing class, passion and poetry have often slipped to the background. The poetry 'program' can become a quick trot through narrow 'tricksie' forms like name-poems and shape-poems. Kids need more. You do too.
Heard offers a wonderful suite of approaches to poetry 'centers' in a chapter on "Making a Poetry Environment." These include listening, illustration, performance and music centers as well as poetry windows, amazing language center and a handful more. The centers-based approach can be hard to manage unless properly prepared, but it is a wonderful way to build fluidity into a process that otherwise suffers from rigidity of task or schedule. This book will offer strong support for such an approach.
In the chapter discussing "Writing Poetry", Heard takes the metaphor of the door as entryway, suggesting, among others, the "observation door", the "concern about the world door" and the "wonder door." She then moves to the details of crafting of poetry with a "toolbox" metaphor and a nice collection of tools. In this as in the earlier instances, her pedagogical metaphors will serve your students but also serve to structure your planning and presentation of concepts. Heard concludes with a chapter about the observational element of the poet's craft - what she terms "sharpening outer and inner visions", and a number of useful appendices.
I'm certain this book will light-up your enthusiasm for a poetry-based classroom.
Usable classroom ideas which will change your teaching style .......1999-07-09
Ms. Heard has put together exercises and knowledge to create a stunning list of usable classroom exercises. She uplifts even the most discouraged teacher heart and gives you the renewed vigor to attack ignorance while inspiring others to find the light within.

Write Your Heart Out, in the words of author Rebecca McClanahan, "is a mixture of direct instruction, writing exercises and prompts, examples from published and unpublished texts, and personal reflections on the writing process." Though a final chapter of the book does touch upon preparing your "private I" writing for the "public eye," the book emphasizes process, not product. McClanahan is interested in writing as a way of life, not in writing as a career. Her gentle, mellifluous words encourage the would-be writer to explore journal writing, memoir, writing about joy and sorrow, letter writing, and collaborative writing. The book's lovely, anecdotal prose is geared toward the person who has always wanted to write, but who, for whatever reason, just hasn't gotten around to it. Don't waste years waiting for life to become less busy, McClanahan says. "No one actually has time to write; each writer must make the time." --Jane Steinberg
Book Description
Write Your Heart Out explores how to turn personal experiences, ideas and emotions into stories, essays, poems and memoirs. In a clear, insightful voice, Rebecca McClanahan teaches readers how to mine and shape personal material, urging them to write deeply, honestly and imaginatively about the most important people, events and emotions in their lives. She emphasizes the importance of personal writing as both catharsis and discovery, addressing such topics as:
* Writing about the past
Moving from the private to the public, the book's structure is formulated to guide readers in writing personal, heartfelt works that can, if so desired, culminate in publication.

So, you want to write... .......2004-02-07
Write Your Heart Out was on the bedside table while I was in Florida on vacation two summers ago. I picked it up, read it, thought about it all the way home, ordered my own copy, began to write, and just published my first book. The inspiration, the encouragement, the gentle nudges in Write Your Heart Out are wonderful. I'm going to recommend it to my writing class.
Get into the Heart of Writing .......2003-07-29
Rebecca McClanahan shows you how to turn your personal experiences, ideas and feelings into stories, essays, poems and memoirs. She gets you to release your inner self and just simply 'Write Your Heart Out.' As you read McClanahan helps you learn to write deeply, honestly and imaginatively about important people, events and emotions in your life, and set you on a path of dramatic work of art and self-discovery. When you're done you have purge all the cobwebs out of your system and let all your creative energy flow onto the page. She gives you the courage to explore and experience the things what matters to you. Everything that you write in your journal is the basis to public writing. McClanahan prepares you for that writing process. This book gives one inspiration of finding new ways of looking at the way they see things in the world, writing more descriptively and improve on their technique. It's great for a beginner just getting started or someone who need encouragement to writing better.
Second Best .......2003-02-08
There's lots to like about this book but I found myself returning to McClanahan's earlier book about writing, Word Painting. Word Painting is a terrific book for anyone who wants to write more concretely. Write Your Heart Out seems to me to be second best. Spend your money on Word Painting instead.
One of Many Best Books on Writing. .......2002-10-24
This book is a MUST for anyone who wants to write anything from the deepest pieces of your heart. Also, it helps discover your true and unique selp, so that you can enjoy the moment of your being and the rest of your life.
The Heart is the Muse .......2001-10-14
"When all else is dissolving around you, your words are forming."
As someone who teaches writing from the perspective of using history, personal and collective, to heal the psychic wounds of life, I found this the most significant statement in this well written and practical guide to tapping heart knowledge.
McClanahan's approach to ways to get to where you can write 'your heart out' is logical, comfortably paced, and begins with the important question as to why we write.
She notes how the writer's desk is anywhere that observations can be collected; images, ideas, news noted in private writings that capture "your personal heartbeat."
These writings, journals, diaries become the resource field for your public writings and it is important that she expresses that your joy, as well as your pain, should be brought to them.
Moving the reader through suggestions that help to jog memory, notice detail, provide an historical record, or capture a passage journey, she takes you to the realm of truth telling and provides devices to excavate those truths.
It is from those found, and examined, truths; from finding your past, that your writing opens new vistas to your present, and to your future.
Writing Your Heart Out is a good place to begin the journey.
Book Description
"In this wise, comforting, intimate book, Katie Ray takes her readers by the hand and brings us home to ourselves. This is where ideas for teaching writing come from, she says, brushing aside the distracting clutter, quick fixes, and one-size-fits-all panaceas. She hands us a pen, a book, and a reminder of all that matters most."
No one can say it better than Lucy Calkins-Katie Ray has written a wise, comforting, intimate book. It goes to the heart of where good ideas for teaching of good writing originate: from yourself and your own experience.
As Katie shows, the most profound and effective curriculum can result from your own deep understanding of quality writingwhat you know about writing through your own and others' writings and through your reading. And the best teaching can result from what you can wrap your heart and mind around and communicate to your students. It is this very personal approach and contagious enthusiasm that Katie brings to bear on creating curriculum for her own writing workshops. Her book shows how you can do it for your own.
In Part One, Katie takes a close look at the lines of thinking you can use to find curriculum in your own writing experiences. In Part Two, she shows how to use the same lines of thinking to find curriculum in your everyday reading life. Along with her own inimitable writing style, Katie sprinkles special features throughout her book as helpful tips for thinking about your own writing workshop and curriculum development, including:
minilessons and "curriculum chunks"
"Thinking it Through" boxes with questions and things to try
"understandings" and strategies
notebook-keeping tips accompanied by Katie's own handwritten journal entries
transcripts of interviews with writers
references for further reading.
Follow Katie's example. Write like a teacher of writing. Read like a teacher of writing. Then teach from your own experience. And watch as you and your students flourish like never before.

A must Read! .......2003-07-24
What a delight to read a book on the teaching of writing that is simple, focused, purposeful and concise. Katie Wood Ray writes with determination. It is her goal to birth the writer in each of us. As the reader engages in the reading of her work she midwifes the writing process within the reader in a way that one embraces it and nurtures its growth.
Confused about mentor texts in mini-lessons? .......2003-07-23
Beware teachers, only read this book if you are ready to dive deeper into what it means to teach writing, as a writer! This is the first book I've read that explicitly breaks down how to use mentor texts and my own writing to support student learning in a writer's workshop. Katie Wood Ray uses wonderful examples of how to write and read like a teacher of writing. The first part of the book provides a process to study our own writing for curriculum development. The second part focuses on mentor texts; using published authors as co-teachers. Her goal is to pomote metacognition in the teachers that read this book and have them change their instruction in a powerful way. This is a slow read, but only because you have to stop to think and apply the concepts. Luckily, she created "Think It Through" boxes to help guide your reflections. I closed this book with a solid understanding of how I can use my own writing and use other authors to teach my writer's workshop. If you are using the writer's workshop approach, but don't consider yourself a writer, read this book. It will help you realze that you already know these things by heart.

There are few books on the market for writing teachers with such warm, insightful, fresh, and practical advice in them as this wonderful text by Katie Wood Ray. Her stories ring true, her advice is sage, and the layout of this piece is a knock out. I especially love the text suggestions to match curriculum statements in the appendix. This is real stuff - and oh, so very needed. My copy is marked up from the first page to the last; I just love this book. Any teacher wanting to make writing work more effectively in their classroom would do well to take this book to heart.

This Book Is A Must Read For African Americans!!
This is an excellent book. .......2005-10-02
"The Exiled Egyptians" is a very interesting and deep book because it explains that despite all of what so-called Western "scholars" claimed that the ancient Egyptians are dead, they are alive. In fact, majority of the ethnic groups in Africa are descendants of the ancient Egyptians. Wolofs are the descendants of the Khemites (Egyptians) of modern-day Egypt while others such as the Yorubas are descendants of the Meroitic Egyptians of ancient Meroe. I am very thankful that Mr. Gadalla unlocked the key to the truth. One thing I wish Mr. Gadalla did is to place more information about ethnic groups who are descendants of famous Egyptians of antiquity (if he knew about it.) For example, the Urhobos and Binis of the Benin Empire said they are descendants of Pharaoh Ahmose I of Khemet. If I am not mistaken, I heard that the Dogons are the descendants of Ramses II's children. For anyone who is of Afrikan descent who wants to know more about his/her ancient past should read this book and also for people who are interested of Afrikan culture as well.
The truth is always concrete! .......2003-03-08
I have read this book and have compared it to my findings based on emperical evidence as well as others methods i possess! indeed the euro-charlatans can no longer lie in the face of ppl of true knowledge and identity inwhich they never lost! There is big difference between cultural ancestry and origin ancestry inwhich the origin of cultures will always precede the ideas that stem from it, inwhich one should know now that the origin of all ascendants were black or dark skinned ppl, even charles darwin indirectly acknowledged this. It does not matter where u put the ancients in a time and era, or how one may change the method of meanings and communication, indeed all cultural concepts and language have there begin points from a common and singular source! Which was in africa!, it does not matter how diverse one may want to become from the next but understand that all communications must start off with a common way of communing. This being said, academia should acknowledge the difference between slang variation and a distinctively different concept of communicating, indeed they ignore this to great detail, even in their own countries lol! example: ebonics! nuff said. Now for anyone who understands evolution and anthropology then u would know that not all the black ppl of the ancient world were the same exact color or shared the exact features indeed though they were similar in design or even resembled their kin they all still possessed their own unique look that should not be taken out of context as being a foreign unknown identity, that came much later with the climax conditions and the eating habits and the types of bacterias in the food and waters not to mention birth defects, gene splicing, and selective breeding do to different belief systems and a way to establish a area belonging to a particular blood line being that they all share the same features of the mothers and father. So i hope in the future our lost tribes of white bruhdas and sistas will come clean about the origin of the human line. lmao! These insecurities that are justified by some ego religious dogma is way too funny! laysa!.....................keep theorizing while the truth keepers bring forth evidence. If anyone racist charlatan wants to challenge what i write then i can break it down to you in physics, anthro, phono, bio, chemistry, and sociology as it pertains to cultural change do to lost information of ones elders and cultural indifferences as not all shared the same concepts but they all did recognized the TRUE SELF!.....................the only darkness is ignorance towards ones true identity and the method of experience that was chosen....................fwame!

Dissapointed .......2007-01-10
I could not tell from the description of this book and two others which one was for adults. Thus I ended up purchasing a very elementary sunday school book. The description also failed to include the number of pages,
Not a lot of sign language .......2002-06-26
I was under the mistaken impression that this book would contain sign language interpretation of songs for church. It contains mostly refrains and while that's okay, I really would have preferred being able to choose what I might want to sign out of the whole song rather than being given a small part of the song to sign.
Good, but left me wanting more. .......2001-03-22
As a Sunday School Superintendent, I'm always looking for something new and different for my kids to sing. The songbook, "With Heart and Hands and Voices" does offer 22 bible songs suitable for children, but the majority are already familiar standards. Also, a lot of the songs offer the refrain only and you are left wanting more. The great thing about this book is the sign language. Kids LOVE to learn sign language. I think they get a kick out of doing something mom and dad may not know how to do. The illustrations are done very well and are easy to follow and teach. The book includes very helpful tips on how to enhance the performances of each song, and information about the songs author. I am pleased with the book if only to teach my kids the sign language that goes along with songs they already know. Overall, a good investment for any Sunday School.
