books about: guest     books:       An Evil Guest6 reviews Gene Wolfe Tor Books, 2008 Great Book at a Reasonable Kindle Price In response to my earlier review, in which I panned the initial price of the Kindle edition of this book (it was more expensive than the hard cover edition), I was asked what I thought about the book itself. Since Amazon doesn't enable readers to distinguish reviews of content from other issues that may be of interest to potential consumers, I had to use the feedback to signal my dissatisfaction ...             New Consecration Sunday: Stewardship Program and Guest Leader Guide Herb Miller Abingdon Press, 2007             Ordinary People135 reviews Judith Guest Penguin (Non-Classics), 1982 Great read - stayed with me for a long time This was one of my favourite books as a teen (ie about 15 years ago)! It's about grief and death and a family falling apart. I kept my battered copy for years when I lived in the UK and brought it home to Jamaica with me. I really identified with it at the time and felt that it crossed gender, racial, and cultural barriers in dealing with the topics. I am not white, upper middle class American ...             Beyond the First Visit: The Complete Guide to Connecting Guests to Your Church11 reviews Gary L. McIntosh Baker Books, 2006 Practical Advice for Churches The title of McIntosh's compelling book shoud be an eye-catcher for anyone concerned about how their church looks to visitors--or guests, as the author puts it. He offers thoughtful, practical ideas about church people in churchs of all sizes. This book is a compelling read and a great starting point for discussions.             Guests of the Sheik: An Ethnography of an Iraqi Village34 reviews Elizabeth Warnock Fernea Anchor, 1995 Guests of the Sheik This is a great book. I bought it to replace a tattered copy a had bought at a book sale, and read it again. I enjoyed it just as much the second time. Ms. Fernea is a very sensitive author. Her other books are also excellent.             BE OUR GUEST15 reviews Disney Institute Disney Editions, 2003 Service Excellence Great book with actionable ideas that I have implemented in my company and they are making a possitive difference. Even if you are not in a "leadership" position, by sharing these processes with your boss or even testing them on a small scale and letting others see the possitive impact, you will look like a star. Disney is not a huge success by accident. Bottom line: it all comes back to ...             Fusion: Turning First-Time Guests into Fully-Engaged Members of Your Church17 reviews Nelson Searcy; Jennifer Henson Regal Books, 2008 Excellent strategies for church growth Searcy and Henson have done a great job of putting together a very practical and readable guide to church growth. The basic premise is assimilating guests into engaged members by practicing an intentional hospitality and a structured follow-up strategy. The methodology makes perfect sense, and it is the same approach that Searcy used to grow his "from scratch" church in NYC. It is targeted toward ...             The Best American Poetry 2008: Series Editor David Lehman, Guest Editor Charles Wright (Best American Poetry)2 reviews Scribner, 2008 Writers Unite This year the job was done very well. The works were pulled from unique sources regardless of the place (a theological review & the New York Review of Books etc.) & the writers were focused upon. John Ashbery is in this year's work as well as the entire Dark Room Collective. I saw Kevin Young's poem appear in Poetry & knew this would be included. They did a good crunch time job of uniting all the ...             Live From New York: An Uncensored History of Saturday Night Live, as Told By Its Stars, Writers and Guests139 reviews James A. Miller, Tom Shales, 2003 Saturday Night Live Book is a great source of commentarys from the people who worked on the shows over the years. It does not deal in a narrative form, only blocks of comments by people. Little detail on specific sketches or true history, more like a collection of things remembered by people involved with the show. It made a great addition to my other books, and is enjoyable on its own.             Mrs. Dalloway154 reviews Virginia Woolf Harvest Books, 1990 Perfect in every way In my opinion, this is a perfect book. Woolf captures the characters flawlessly and depicts their relationships with pitch-perfect accuracy. The plot centers around a day in the life of Mrs. Dalloway, who is preparing for a party. However, the overall scope of the novel is much broader.             A Christmas Guest: A Novel14 reviews Anne Perry Ballantine Books, 2005 Great! Not your regular Christmas story.... I don't want to give away too much of the plot, but this Anne Perry gem truly SHINES. No, it's not your average Christmas story with predictable, shopworn plot devices. But being atypical is what makes it so great. Anne always delivers a great story and this is NO expection!!! I love her historical mysteries...she puts you right THERE...you're always cheering for the hero or heroine, and ...             The Professional Bartender's Handbook: A Recipe for Every Drink Known - Including Tricks and Games to Impress ...6 reviews Valerie Mellema Atlantic Publishing Company (FL), 2007 You (or Someone You Know) Needs This Book The Professional Bartender's Handbook is an easy-to-use book for anyone. If you're stocking your own bar there are lists of what and how much to buy (including alcohol, mixers, and extras), what tools to have on hand (types of glasses, spoons, strainers--who knew?). There's even a chapter on really starting a bar--from business plan through OSHA regs and promotions. As for recipes, the book ...             The Guest List23 reviews Fern Michaels Zebra, 2002 Another page turner! I love every book that I have read of Fern Michaels'. I am a big fan of the sisterhood books. I can wait for the next one! I enjoyed this book as well, just about the time you think you know what is going to happen, you get another surprise!             The Mysterious Guests: A Sukkot Story Eric A. Kimmel Holiday House, 2008 Master storyteller Eric A. Kimmel spins a tale of Sukkot just in time for the Jewish harvest festival. It was the season of Sukkot, the Jewish harvest festival. Two brothers each built a sukkah, or shelter, to celebrate and share in the gifts of the earth. One brother was very rich; the other brother was very poor. He built a sukkah of found materials and leftover goods, yet he invited all to share the holiday with him. When three mysterious ...             The Doubtful Guest17 reviews Edward Gorey Harcourt, 1998 "It Betrayed A Great Liking For Peering Up Flues..." This is my single favorite Edward Gorey book, partially because of the amusing couplets it is written in, but mostly because of the appearance of the guest himself, which never ceases to amuse me. The concept of a strange creature who mysteriously visits and decides to stay (seventeen years) while exercising odd whims (like fits in which he removes all towels from the bath or hiding inside a soup ...             Disco Years1 review powerHouse Books, 2006 Disco inferno still burning after all these years "[Galella's] strongest period was the 1970's when his reality-based photography style was in perfect sync with that decade's gritty approach to filmmaking, a time when Hollywood had largely discarded the sugar-coated schmaltz of 50's and 60's artifice....Here is a startled Bette Midler looking behind her shoulder at the Grammy Awards, her askew tiara making her look like a lost, overgrown ...             Guests of the Ayatollah: The Iran Hostage Crisis: The First Battle in America's War with Militant Islam82 reviews Mark Bowden Grove Press, 2007 Bowden Delivers a Masterpiece Guests of the Ayatollah presents the extensively researched, impelling non-fiction style for which Bowden has become widely acclaimed through his other best sellers. As someone who has read other Bowden books, I felt Guests of the Ayatollah is his best book to date. In this book, Bowden provides the intense, all-inclusive details from start to finish of the 444 day Iranian Hostage Crisis. ...             Everything Outdoor Wedding Book: Choose the Perfect Location, Expect the Unexpected, And Have a Beautiful ... Kim Knox Beckius Adams Media, 2005             The Q Guide to Will and Grace: Stuff You Didn't Even Know You Wanted to Know...about Will, Grace, Jack, ...7 reviews Corinne Marshall Alyson Books, 2008 Everything you need to know about Will and Grace! There is nothing left out of this book about the show, the characters and the stars. The book leaves no stone unturned!             The Summer Guest43 reviews Justin Cronin Dial Press Trade Paperback, 2005 Many summers, many guests Justin Cronin writes beutifully! He weaves characters, their stories, big life questions, and time into something larger than the norm, leaving this reader pondering my own life, family and sense of place. Cronin's Mary and O'Neill was rich, too.
