Life is Tremendous.......2007-09-16

This book is one of the most powerful, yet easy to read books on the market and it's principles are timeless! It's truly a "SIB KIS" work of art. I have had the pleasure of hearing the author speak and most recently a 90 minute private tour of his business where he personally directed me to classics by Oswald Chambers, Spurgeon and could quote passages and find their location from memory. This visit was unannounced and Charlie had just returned from a chemo treatment! Charlie is living proof of his claims and if any one doubts the connection he makes with our creator to these principles needs to spend just five minutes with him to understand their validity. Charlie is "suffering" with terminal prostate cancer. Yet to see him, be hugged by him and hear the energy in his soul would put most young people to shame. Charlie has no fear of his future and actually is looking forward to this next phase of his "journey". I have read many books that "tell" people how to live. Charlie actually lives his philosophy and tells them to stop trying to be perfect and enjoy the one who is! If you read this book years ago and found it helpful, read it again as odds are you situation in life has changed, but fortunately these principles have not. Even better purchase several books and share them with your friends, family and business associates, it's a great way to pass on the powerful message that can benefit anyone who dares to take them to heart.

It will never grow old.......2006-08-11

I have heard Charlie Jones speak many times. His program designed to turn his kids into readers worked in my family too. This little book is a real gem. It can be a lifesaver on days when there seems no place to turn to for encouragement. His persaonal responsibility attitude is much needed today. Rather than looking for the most fulfilling job or purpose in life it is far more useful to be responsible and turn our lives into positive and purposful examples for others. Life truly can be tremendous if one has the right perspective. Charlie can help you there!

Simple but effective.......2006-07-08

This is a great book that is simple, to the point, and something that you can pick up for a quick read almost every day. Highly recommend.

Great book and I recommend his tapes as well........2005-10-01

I saw Charlie "Tremendous" Jones live and in person back in 1978 in Harrisburg, Pa. when the old PMA rallies were going strong. He appeared along with Dr. Peale.

What impresses me about Jones is that he is funny, charismatic but has a powerful message too.

Life is Tremendous is another one of those small books that sometimes gets overlooked because of it's small size. This book is only 105 pages and can easily be read in one evening or even in less than an hour. But it should be read over and over. It is outstanding. Charlie will get you laughing and provide a very powerful message.

To really appreciate Charlie Jones, listen to one of his cd's or audio cassette tapes. He will get you rolling and you will come away with ideas you never thought of before. One of my favorite quotes from Charlie is:

"It's not how hard you fall, but how high you can bounce back
from adversity that counts."

AND...

"All leaders are readers."

Want to be good leader? Then become a good reader.

Review.......2003-09-21

¡§Life is Tremendous¡¨ is like a guide for everyone¡¦s life. It guides readers to find out the meaning of life, and how to become good leaders and successors. The author focuses on leading readers to be optimistic and enthusiastic to their lives by building up a positive attitude and a fine personality, since he believes enthusiasm makes the difference. It gave us a clear picture of how to build up an active attitude, which helps us to be a positive person. Besides, this book also told us how to face eleven common problems in our daily life, such as nervous, difficulties, fear, etc. And readers will discover that, the author always told us to rely on God, and leave our problems and difficulties to God.

Many people may not agree that life is tremendous. But I am sure that, after reading this book, you will change your mind. As it gave me lots of constructive opinion for my life. The most impressed idea from the author is that if I believe, then I can do it. After reading this book, when I handle a task that I think I may not able to complete, I told myself I believe that I can do it, then I did it with a good result. What I think is that, it is confidence. No matter what happens, if you have confident, then you can do it.

Besides, he told us we have to get excited about our work. I think it is true that living is not doing what we like to do; it is doing what we have to do. For myself, I will feel boredom for the studies, but when I think of the reasons of studying, which is aimed at helping me to gain more knowledge and broaden the experience of my life, then I will become energetic and excited about my studies again. On the other hand, the author reminded me ¡§production to perfect¡¨ is very important. Although I have many planning in my mind, however, if I do not start to do, I will never succeed. Apart from having a flexible planning for myself, implementing what I have planned is critical to perfect.

There are some areas related to religion in this book. As a Christian, this book reminds me to rely on our God. Very often, when I was busying with my work, I will forget my beloved God, I will just rely on myself and forget my power is from our God. But this book reminds me that I can hand-over all my problems to our God, and I will become peaceful.

This book will lead you to think more deeply about your lives, and you will find out many useful perspectives and suggestions to improve your life quality. If you want to have a happy, healthy and productive life, this is a book which highly recommend to you.

Book Description

Poetry's hip, poetry's hot, and poetry's a blast with this cool, contemporary guide created in the same entertaining style as the popular In Print!

Kids instinctively love poetry--its rhythm, its rhymes, and its playful transformation of ordinary language. And these days, such cutting-edge, youthful forms as rap, hip-hop, and slams have made poetry more relevant than ever. With its fun facts, exciting writing activities, and words of encouragement from a respected professional, Immersed in Verse nurtures the nascent poet in every child. Best of all, these awe-inspiring ideas have nothing in common with blah school assignments. Instead, youngsters rearrange their favorite (or least favorite) poems; start their own poetry workshop; present “open mike night” in the basement; and record their friends reciting. Along the way, they'll open more than a few “poet's toolboxes.” They'll explore the wonderful world of words and learn about attitude, equipment, techniques (including “metaphors be with you”), different styles of verse, revising your writing, getting published, and performing.

I LOVE THIS BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It helped a lot for school projects and helped me realize I love poetry even more then I thought(and I liked it quite a bit before)

Helping your home school student find her inner poet.......2007-01-18

When we just kept checking the same book out of library again and again and again, I decided Immersed in Verse would make a great Christmas present for my twelve-year-old daughter. This book helps kids become aware of the beauty of words and introduces them to different forms of poetry. I don't have to coerce my daughter to try her hand at writing her own poetry. Inspired by this book, she does this on her own, holing up on top of the bunk bed for hours at a time. We highly recommend it!

Good desk reference.......2004-03-07

I just got a copy of "The essential dictionary of investing and finance" and I feel it is a good book to refer back to since it is filled with useful terms in several categories such as bonds, stocks, general investing, mutual funds, etc... it even covers some technical analysis terminology.

I believe that this book will be really handy whenever I am reading something online or in other investment books/publications and don't know the meaning of the word.

The guy who wrote this book (Jerry M. Rosenberg) sounds very interesting. He's a professor at Rutgers University's Business School and he has authored 28 books (most of which are business related dictionaries.)

I believe this book is a really good addition to my library and will be an excellent desk reference.

Book Description

This harrowing tale of a young girl in the slums is a searing portrayal of turn-of-the-century New York, and Stephen Crane's most innovative work. Published in 1893, when the author was just twenty-one, it broke new ground with its vivid characters, its brutal naturalism, and its empathic rendering of the lives of the poor. It remains both powerful, severe, and harshly comic (in Alfred Kazin's words) and a masterpiece of modern American prose.

This edition includes Maggie and George's Mother, Crane's other Bowery tales, and the most comprehensive available selection of Crane's New York journalism. All texts in this volume are presented in their definitive versions.

Writing New York: A Literary Anthology
Empress of the Splendid Season

ASIN: 1593082487

Book Description

Written before but published after The Red Badge of Courage, Stephen Crane’s Maggie: A Girl of the Streets offers a stark image of the underbelly of urban American life at the end of the nineteenth century. Maggie Johnson, a lovely innocent too slight to carry the weight of poverty, dreams of escaping New York’s Bowery and the casual cruelty of her alcoholic family. After her younger brother dies, she runs off with Pete, a bartender with pretensions to wealth and culture. But Pete himself is easily seduced by the seemingly sophisticated Nellie, and Maggie finds herself abandoned in the unforgiving metropolis.
Publishers feared that Crane’s portrait of brutal fathers swilling away their lives in cheap bars, drunken mothers raging at terrified children, and ruined young women walking the streets, would be more than their readers could bear. But Crane’s impressionistic style and thematic intensity won the day, and Maggie—the author’s favorite among his works—helped to shape the writers that followed him and begin the era of literary naturalism.
This edition also includes the short novel George’s Mother, plus “A Night at the Millionaire’s Club,” “Opium’s Varied Dreams,” “When a Man Falls, a Crowd Gathers,” and several other of Crane’s masterful short stories.
