5 out of 5 stars required for class.......2007-09-25

Boas does an excellent job presenting the new mathematical material presented in this text. The general example problems are good in the fact that they show the workings and system of the new material while giving you an understanding as well. I read the section, work out the examples and then know how to do the problems. This book is required for my theoretical physics class and is worth every penny.

5 out of 5 stars Great reference text.......2007-09-14

As an undergraduate physics major I'm required to take a course in math methods of physics, and Boas is the required text. Not only did I save money by purchasing online, but this book is FANTASTIC. The text itself support the arguments we cover in class, but the book knows no bounds. In my other physics and math courses I've already looked up topics and found a complete and easily understood explanations. I'm definitely not selling this one after the course is over.

5 out of 5 stars Fantastic, Self-Teachable, The Best.......2007-07-27

The single best book available for a person to learn math for the sciences. I taught myself most everything in this book readily; it is incredibly well written to introduce the subject to anyone. It is also comprehensive, and very useful for any scientist. This is written as a graduate physicist, recommended to anyone who has taken Calculus II.

The only book that ties it is Glenn Fletcher's book.

5 out of 5 stars An excellent book for those who need applied mathematics........2007-04-23

This is an excellent book for undergraduates in science and engineering. This book is not for mathematics majors. So anyone who complains about the proofs or lack of rigor is off target. You are not the intended audience.

I include the chapter titles below since they indicate the coveraqe of the book.

1. Infinite series, power series
2. Complex numbers
3. Linear algebra
4. Partial differentiation
5. Multiple integrals
6. Vector analysis

8. Ordinary differential equations
9. Calculus of variations

This book is great as a crash course in alot of math that appears in physics. The material is very well explained, doesnt use alot of baffeling notation, gets straight to the point, and is completely self contained. I have learned alot from this book and I reccomend it highly.

Book Description

This is a guide for praying Scripture back to God, organized into three months of daily prayers; each day the reader is guided through eight different kinds of prayer, such as adoration, confession, renewal, petition, intercession, affirmation, thanksgiving, and a closing prayer, all translated and adopted for personal prayer by Dr. Kenneth Boa.

5 out of 5 stars Turbo-charge your Quiet Time.......2007-09-12

This is a prayer book that turned my quiet time into something i began to look forward to. Dr Ken Boa shows how verses from the Word of God, when prayed in the structure of the Lord's Prayer can transform your relationship with Him. Buy the book for yourself or better still, gift it as a blessing to somebody else!

5 out of 5 stars Scriptural Balance.......2007-09-01

Face to Face has become a mainstay for my time in the Word of God. The daily scriptures always apply to personal life - always timely. I like the size and covering of the book - I can take it with me anywhere - usually it goes with me daily to the gym. It is a great source of refreshment and getting my thoughts grounded back on the absolute Truth of God's Word. There's always a verse or two that I end up copying on an index card to keep before my eyes regularly.

5 out of 5 stars It changed my life. No, really!.......2007-06-15

In the introduction to this book the author writes, "The problem with prayer is heightened by the fact that people often succumb either to the extreme of all form and no freedom, or the opposite extreme of all freedom and no form". I was pretty much in the all freedom trap and felt my time spent praying was wasted a lot of times due to my inabilty to get my mind in order. This book has really helped me to improve my prayer life.

I really enjoyed the way the book is organized with gentle nudges at the end of each section to get you going in the right direction. My previous prayer efforts consisted of me basically free associating. Since purchasing this book I have found myself getting to my point or just finding what I want to say much faster and with much, much more clarity. I also learned work in a time to stop and listen for a change, too!

Another problem I had had with my prayer style was the pure inabilty to pray out loud. I'm not talking about in front of people or groups; I mean just praying out loud, alone, in my house. It was like my brain would freeze when I opened my mouth. Reading aloud the passages inluded in each section allowed me to let my mind get 'warmed up' and my prayer just flowed out after I finished reading a section.

This isn't a Book of Prayers that you just read out loud. Rather, this is a book that lets you pray God's word back to him and then nudges you in a general direction that you fully expand on yourself. I found this book series recommended on my church's website and am very glad that I found them. Just to be clear, the book isn't a Bible replacement or a list of prayers. Face to Face is organized based off the Lord's prayer and is merely a guide to developing more meaningful prayer. I highly recommend it.

5 out of 5 stars Face to Face.......2007-01-04

This book has been a spiritual renewal. I would recommend it to anyone who desire to draw into a more intimate prayer life with our creator.

4 out of 5 stars Great way to really begin your prayer time.......2006-08-27

I really enjoyed this book. It really helped me in worshiping in my prayer time. It was a real help in overcoming a dry time in my relationship with the Lord. I would and have recommended this book to friends. I have even given them away because it was so helpful to me. My only concern with the book is that the scriptures are not word for word. They have been altered slightly to make them more personal in nature. ALthough this can be helpful it is also a reason for caution.

4 out of 5 stars NASB Zondervan Study Bible.......2007-05-18

I believe I'm correct in stating that the notes and references in this Bible were adapted from Zondervan's work on the NIV. Although my experience has been limited because I've had this edition for a couple of months, up to this point the notes and references have been informative and useful for my purposes as a Bible study teacher. I have recommended this edition to others.

5 out of 5 stars NASB Study Bible, Zondervan........2007-03-27

Sooner or later, any serious student of the Bible will want to be able to examine more than one translation. At a minimum, one will want a version that has been translated in what is considered the most "literal" manner, using the "word for word" approach, and another that has been translated utilizing the "thought for thought" (or "sense for sense") approach. There will be merit in comparing both types and some homework before making purchases is a very good idea. It is widely considered that the NASB is the most 'literal' English language Bible available, at this writing, but the ESV is highly regarded and the NKJV is also quite literal, though less so than the NASB and the ESV. The most popular "thought for thought" translation (at least among Protestants) is the NIV. Having used the NIV, and secondarily the NKJV, for several years, I recently decided to purchase the Zondervan NASB Study Bible, and have immediately been very happy with it.

At the time I purchased the Z[NASB]SB, I was involved in studies of Genesis and Hebrews. Studies of theses books are quite foundational to Christian theology. Hebrews is the most purely theological of NT books (teaching, for example, creation ex nihilo), and Genesis, though its language is often poetic, anthropomorphic, mysterious, and figurative, is one of the great theological books of the OT (the wisdom writings, particularly Job, Psalms, and Ecclesiastes, are the most purely theological of the Bible). The connections that Hebrews makes with Genesis are very important to Christological studies and a good study Bible should not fail to highlight and amplify these connections. Would the Zondervan NASB Study Bible adequately explain the mysterious (almost Gandalf-like) Melchizedek account of Genesis 14 in terms of its reappearance in Psalm 110, and particularly as these accounts are focused on Christ in Hebrews 7? The center column cross-references and margin notes in Hebrews indeed made the connections and provided brief but excellent commentary. The big picture was brought into view; a curious and attentive reader would easily be equipped to make the important connections. My NASB Study Bible had passed its first test with honors.

Being generally quite happy with the ZNASBSB, I hesitate to offer any negative comments or questionings, but there is always room for improvement when translating the Bible (so long as humans are translating for humans, this will continue to be the case). Zondervan has recycled their study notes from their NIV Study Bible, only changing the translation wording as is necessary, the notes are otherwise the same. There is not necessarily anything wrong with this, but the buyer might be aware of this when comparing this Bible to, say, an ESV study Bible.

5 out of 5 stars Good Word.......2007-03-23

The bible I ordered came in perfect condition. I love everything about it. The study notes are clear and concise. The print is easy to read.

This Study bible is amazing! it has pictures of for instance Herods temple, etc. The study notes are exhaustive. The Binding is also top grade quality. The leather is beautiful. Definatly worth the investment. I know it is for me

5 out of 5 stars The best Bible for the price!.......2006-11-10

I prefer the NASB for study, and this is the best study Bible for the price I have found. I have been giving this Bible to new members in our church and they have really enjoyed having commentary and other info they can understand.

This book is meant to be read and studied. It can be life-changing if you let it.

5 out of 5 stars Great Book.......2007-01-03

Kenneth Boa defines 12 facets of the Christian life and deals with each one in a thoroughly practical, yet deeply theological way. He does seem to think that Christians can be demon-possessed, a view which I do not hold. In spite of that, I recommend the book to the seasoned Christan. Written in textbook style, it makes for extended Bible studies for mid-week gatherings, home studies, etc. There are a great number of resources from which he cites quotes, and the cost of the book is worth the resource list alone. I particularly enjoyed the facet about the Christian Disciplines. In a day of hyper-faith, wealth, prosperity, and health gospel, this book is a refreshing return to sanity. I wish I had it years ago.

5 out of 5 stars Different aspects in our pursuit of knowing God intimately.......2006-07-31

Excellent overview of different aspects of the Christian life and following close after God. Looks at different techniques of a hard pursuit of God.

5 out of 5 stars Getting to know God.......2006-03-14

Author, Kenneth Boa, has put together a comprehensive text that covers 12 major approaches that mankind has taken throughout history in an attempt to know and follow God. He stresses our need for a variety of approaches. The text looks overwhelming. But, in actuality, the chapters are short enough to cover in one sitting. Each ends with questions that cause the reader to do some deep personal intropspection. And they lead to some powerful group discussions in our women's Bible study group.

      Book Description

      Everything Your Friends Wanted to Know about Christianity and You Were Afraid They'd Ask Such questions as:

      How many times have you been placed in an uncomfortable situation when faced with skeptical questions about Christianity? You know Christianity is true, but you are unable to communicate the truth effectively. The Apostle Peter told us to always be prepared to give an answer to anyone who asks us about the hope that is in us. I'm Glad You Asked can help you become that able defender of the faith. This classic book, first published in 1982, explains the alternatives to the Christian position and then demonstrates why the Christian worldview is valid. It provides answers to the basic questions people ask and guides you logically through these questions with helpful flow charts. And it shows, most importantly, how each objection is really an opportunity to present the Gospel.

      Dr. Ken Boa is involved in a varied ministry of lifestyle evangelism and discipleship, teaching, writing, and speaking. His other books include Cults, World Religions, and the Occult, also from Victor.

      Larry Moody is the president of Search Ministries, a parachurch organization that assists adults in the process of lifestyle evangelism and discipleship through modeling and training.

      This book had some valid points, but it was clearly written in a different time. Thirty years ago, societal thinking was a lot different, so his points would be more accepted than they are today. Still a good read.

      5 out of 5 stars A very logical and applicable guide to answering peoples questions........2006-01-17

      The book does a great job of starting a square one...does God even exist then systematically just walks right on through topics leading up to did the resurrection of Jesus then goes into a few other areas of common questions. Each chapter is devoted to a topic and even includes a nice flow chart to help illustrated where each possible avenue leads to. Each chapter builds on the previous but since each chapter is devoted to its own stand alone topic you can just jump to that question to look for how to logically think through and reason the evidence.

      The book handles all topics with enough throughness to give satisfaction with each topic while still maintaining good "readablility"

      5 out of 5 stars I'm Glad You Asked Hits the Mark.......1999-12-28

      This is the third copy of I'm Glad You Asked I have purchased. I keep "lending" copies of this book to others as a valuable reference, particularly when witnessing to non-Christians or Christians seeking to learn more about some very good questions: "What makes Christianity different?" "Doesn't Anyone who is good get to Heaven?" "What about those who have never heard the Gospel?"

      I have several other books, including books by Hugh Ross (Creation and Time), Barry Wood (Questions non-Christians Ask Today) and Geisler and Brooks (When Skeptics Ask). All of these are good books, but I found this book answers the questions that are relevant today in a very readable yet thoughtful manner. It's well worth the investment.

      5 out of 5 stars This book is a great confidence builder !.......1998-06-12

      The key strength of this book is in the fact that it challenges the reader to ask the question, " Is my faith reasonable?" If the answer is " No ", then the reader is then confronted with the decision of whether to hang on to an irrational faith or to discard it.

      Christianity is viewed by many as a leap of faith and not a rational world view. This book walks the reader through the rational arguments for belief in the claims of Christ and of the historical Christian Faith.

      I have used the book for personal study and as a course in evalgelism for young people and adults. I have watched as the syudents grew in confidence and became eager to take a reasonable Faith out into the market place of ideas.

      This Bible includes wonderful references, devotionals, and other scripture relative to what you are reading for you to read and reflect on. It can give the Christian man or woman a biblical perspective on God's will if not a "black and white" answer for the WWJD question.

      This is a great Bible for anyone who wants to know about the biblical perspective on leadership and things surronding leadership. The concordances and study note are very benificial for the reader. This is a great way to really study God's word as it pertains to Leadership.

      I work in the pressure cooker of Health Care. As a CEO I make decisions impacting individuals lives and careers. The people who look to me for leadership want decisions that are honest, effective and value based. The Leadership Bible is my daily source of inspiration and strength. I especially appreciate the character profiles and the Homepages that guide me to further study on a variety of leadership topics.

      I am a new leader in a training program and I have found this to be an amazing resource. It is comprehensive in that it covers a variety of attributes necessary for making me into a successful servant leader. The wisdom found in the Bible is mind blowing, but practical and this book takes you through a step by step process on each attribute.

      I found it very difficult to follow. To many little sections which made it difficult. If you could figure out how to follow its flow then maybe you could enjoy the information obtain in the book.

      5 out of 5 stars Consistent exposition of an evangelical worldview.......2001-09-28

      Boa and Bowman's book offers a consisten presentation of an evangelical Christian worldview. Contrary to another reviewer of this book, evangelicals are not inconsistent when they maintain that we are saved through faith alone and at the same time maintain that there are moral absolutes that we ought to uphold. The evangelical view is not that works are unimportant, but that none of us can attain a right standing before God on the basis of our works. In other words, being good is definitely important, but none of us is good enough. That's why Christ died on the cross! The whole point is that we have all violated God's moral absolute standards, and therefore we all deserve his punishment. Yet, by his mercy, we may be forgiven and reconciled to God, and spared that punishment, because Christ died in our place. This basic Christian belief cannot be maintained without also maintaining that such moral absolutes exist.

      I highly recommend this book.

      3 out of 5 stars A little inconsistent..........2000-06-18

      This book is indeed interesting, some of the time. There are long stretches of paragraphs that are a bit of a struggle to read through, particularly the sections on psychology and postmodernism.

      The most interesting passages are about the other major religions,how they came to be, and the influence they have on Christianity.

      Now back to the reason I claim this book to be inconsistent. There are sections that expound on a "faith only" salvation, and how fundamentalist "cults" believe too much in a literal translation of the bible and salvation through "works." While these authors go to great lengths to show that faith is the only need for salvation, the second half of the book discusses declining morality in the world. If works are not necessary to Christianity, then why should morality be promoted? Wouldn't living a moral life be a "work?" I find it foolish to say that all you must do to be saved is believe and have faith. Why would the bible exist with all of those "rules and regulations", if faith alone was enough to save?

      This book is otherwise a fine discourse on upholding your belief in an almighty God and His plans for His creation.

      5 out of 5 stars So far, so good.......2007-06-06

      I recently bought this book and I've been reading it during my lunch break at work and so far I'm very interested and it seems like I can't stop reading it! I will probably take it home with me on the weekend and just finish it. It's sad to know what kind of things happened to little kids like them, and at the same time it's amazing to see how they were dealing with their terrible reality and how mature they were for being just kids during this horrible time in History.

      I highly recommend it!

      5 out of 5 stars Very good.......2007-04-05

      I decided to actually read this book after taking Boas' History of the Holocaust course and finding out that he was in fact born at the Westerbork transit camp in Holland, so I figured that since he had a connection with it through his family that he would know how to put together a well made book. And I was correct, this book made me cry, I really liked it. He had talked a little about this book in class and at first it kinda seemed boring, but I'm glad that i didn't listen to my gut feeling and actually went and checked it out. I would recommend anyone that wants to read more of a first hand experience to read this, the letters are very heart touch and sad. I am trying to track down the other books he has written so I can get a little more understanding in addition from what I had learned through his course.

      4 out of 5 stars Book=Very GOOD!.......2007-04-02

      I thought this book was very good and descriptive in what happened to the teenager's lives and the victims of the Holocaust. It was sad to know how well-off Americans in the U.S. and other fortunate people had it then. When I was reading, it was sad to picture how hard it would be then for not just teenagers but everyone,especially when they talked about how they didn't want to die yet and the shame and humiliation they felt as jews. I liked how Boas described their lives and events so well that I didn't feel I missed out anywhere. I also liked how he would compare the teenagers lives and choices with the others. But I would have liked it more if he would have described more about what the Nazis would do to the victims after they were transported. Otherwhise, I liked this book very much.

      4 out of 5 stars We Are Witnesses.......2006-03-16

      I am not a big fan of non-fiction history books. I find them hard to concentrate on because there are so many facts that they become overwhelming. But We Are Witnesses is a non-fiction history book that I liked. First, I liked it because it was set during WWII, which is something I am interested in. Secondly, this book is about five teenagers, which I can relate to because I am in the same age group. Each of their diaries was found. They all were Jewish, they all died.
      In We Are Witnesses there are five main characters, David Rubinowicz, Yitzhak Rudashevski, Moshe Flinker, Eva Heyman, and Anne Frank. There is a whole chapter on each one of them. They all have the same big conflict, the Nazis. The Nazis forced the Jews to move into a ghetto, and each character had to do that. They all lived in different parts of Europe. They all had money issues. But each one was unique in their own way. For example, Yitzhak joined a club that would meet and do research projects, and learn a few new things. This was Yitzhak's favorite time of day. Eva Heyman admired her mother and wanted to be just like her. Each day was a struggle to live. There was barely enough food for any of them to eat. They all had to put their faith in God, that He would save them from the power of the Nazis.
      Each character had their own religious beliefs but Moshe Flinker's was the most unique of all. He believed that if the Germans kept on taking over more land and the Jews kept on being killed then, when it seemed like all hope was lost, God would save the Jews from the Nazis. Moshe Flinker's story also was one that stuck out in my mind because he almost made it to Vichy France, which was a part of France that was not taken over by the Germans. Another memorable story was when David Rubinowicz was forced to move from his house and into a ghetto, but he many times was able to walk to his old house. One of the times he witnessed a Jew getting shot right in front of him.
      From the very beginning of the book, the author tells that all of the characters die. They all did, but their life stories will be something that you never will forget. Overall I would recommend this book to anyone who likes non-fiction history books. There were very good parts to the book but also some bad parts. The bad parts were where it got confusing. For example, when the author got into too much detail about a character's life. Also when Moshe Flinker tried to explain his religious beliefs it got very confusing. Although I knew the deaths of all the characters were certain from the beginning, I wanted to read this book because these people had to live with fear every day. But each one was strong enough to not let that fear get to them, and tried to live their lives like you and me.

      5 out of 5 stars Keeping history alive!.......2005-07-21

      This set of stories helps keep history alive for teenagers that have no concept of the depth horror that intolerance can achieve. All teens should read it!
