The Pillars of the Earth (Deluxe Edition) (Oprah's Book Club)

Ken Follett

NAL Trade, 2007

A roller coaster of a book!
When my hairstylist recommended this book, my interest was piqued. When my sister recommended the book after she read it in her book club-I decided to order it. WOW! I am in the last section and can't wait to see how everything ties together. This book weaves all the characters together and it is captivating! I am exhausted during the day because I stay up so late at night reading this! I ...

The Seven Pillars of Health

Don Colbert, Mary Colbert

Siloam Press, 2007

WOW!!! (there are no words)
The Seven Pillars of Health is an extremely sturdy foundation to build a healthy life! There is SO much information in this book about just about everything related to health. I learned much from this book, and being divided into 50 days was a great way to space out the information. I had only one problem with this book...Dr. Colbert owns his own vitamin company! This was disappointing because it ...

Very Inspirational Book
Very easy to read. A very inspirational book and philosophy for improving anybody's personal development. I strongly encourage anyone interested in improving personal development to read this book.

The Pillars of Creation (Sword of Truth, Book 7)

Terry Goodkind

Tor Books, 2002

This is one of the few times that I've taken on science fiction.
The way that the Goodkind tells a story is absolutely amazing. I have read very few if any science fiction books but if they all are as engrossing as this book was I might soon find myself hooked. It would have got 5 stars but do to my lack of experience with the genre I only felt comfortable giving out 4 stars. Do not hesitate to read if you have the time, its well worth it.

Seven Pillars of Wisdom: A Triumph

T.E. Lawrence

Anchor, 1991

$4 extra avoids abridgement
ON STRIKE UNTIL AMAZON STOPS DELETING FAVORABLE VOTES FROM FANS AND COUNTING NEGATIVE VOTES FROM THOSE WHO HATE THE POINT OF VIEW OF THE BOOK BEING REVIEWED MORE THAN THEY CARE ABOUT THE REVIEW. I own an original first edition (and did not realize its value until recently), but in searching for this book to add a link from within my new book on Irregular Warfare: Waging Peace, I realized the ...

The Three Pillars of Zen: Teaching, Practice, and Enlightenment

Philip Kapleau Roshi

Anchor, 1989

The Hell of Zen Books
The title for my review is something I read in the review sections. I am an American, don't speak or write Japanese or Chinese...like most practicing Americans. This means that we for the most part have to trust what the writers of a way purportedly beyond words and letters have to say on reams and reams of paper. PK had the advantage over us in that he had a facility for language and set his ...

T. E. Lawrence

Wordsworth Editions Ltd, 1999

A view of warfare from a bygone era
I will echo the sentiments of previous reviewers in extolling the remarkable style of Seven Pillars...the detailed descriptions of the desert and the bedu bring the reader right into the book. I was taken aback by the distinct differences between the book and the movie, even with having a good working knowledge of this era. For those who only know Lawrence from the movie, please read this book ...

The Four Pillars of Investing: Lessons for Building a Winning Portfolio

William J. Bernstein

McGraw-Hill, 2002

Essential guide for investors
In the introduction to his book, "The Four Pillars of Investing: Lessons for Building a Winning Portfolio," Dr. William Bernstein states that the "competent investor never stops learning." Yet, because the world of investing can be such a confusing place, it sometimes seems that the more you learn, the more confused you get. As a participant on the Bogleheads message board, I feel I am an ...

The Six Pillars of Self-Esteem

Nathaniel Branden

Bantam, 1995

Mandatory Reading For Everyone
I have the abridged audio version and recommend that and this review is about that in particular. There are perhaps about 20 books that can be considered mandatory reading for all humans. This is one of them. Probably in the top 5. Get it? Got it? 'Nuff said. And do the 31 week excercises. You'll find them in the back of the paper book. If you want to hem and haw, find excuses ...

Four Pillars of a Man's Heart: Bringing Strength into Balance

Stu Weber

Multnomah Books, 1999

A Transformed Man
I cannot recommend this book more heartily. It transformed my husband from a bachelor who happened to have a wife and child to a godly, loving, servant leader of our home. This book drove my husband directly to the Word of God where he was challenged to rise to the calling of Biblical manhood. I, his wife, am reaping the benefits of this transformation, the recipient of his tender leadership, ...

5 Pillars of the Visual Workplace (For Your Organization!)

7 reviews
Hiroyuki Hirano

Productivity Press, 1995

Readable and practical book
I checked this out from the library and read it in one day (I didn't do anything else all day, and I'm a fast reader). Hirano's style is very educational: he resorts to humor, he states his biases clearly, he details step-by-step instructions, he warns about pitfalls, he gives his own insight on overcoming those pitfalls. He walks the walk: the only photo of him in the book is of him cleaning ...

Pillars of The Earth

Ken Follett, 1989

A "Desert Island Book"
I read this one about 15 years ago, and have now read it a third time. It never weakens. I have heard this novel was challenging for Follett because he does not believe in God. I don't either,but I found the humility and devotion of its protagonists to be wholly believable and endearing. I could not help but fall in love with Aliena, nor could I suppress my admiration for Tom, Phillip, and ...

Lingering In The Shadows Of Occult Time ~ Fallen Angels, The Otherside Of The Story
What an incredible wealth of arcane knowledge awaits the reader of 'The Pillars of Tubal Cain' by Nigel Jackson and Michael Howard. The darkside of the Western Mystery Tradition is about to be revealed, shedding light on areas within the Luciferian Tradition that have been unavailable in one volume until now. This book could've been titled, 'Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Lucifer and ...

The Middle Pillar: The Balance Between Mind and Magic

Israel Regardie

Llewellyn Publications, 2002

. . .uh, is this the right edition ?
(revise/augmented, 1/10/'04) Great to study 'The Mystical Qabalah' by Dion Fortune after learning the Mid Pillar technique. Also useful, 'Foundations of Practical Magic,' five essays by Regardie. From there, I disagree with muddying up the picture with books by Ophiel and sych. Regardie didnt. See his book list he recommends in ' Ceremonial Magic,' Israel Regardie. For the beginner, ...

Paul Theroux

Ballantine Books, 1996

A gorgeous bit of writing.
I have read five of Paul Theroux's travel books: The Great Railway Bazaar, The Kingdom by the Sea, The Old Patagonian Express, Travel Fiend and now The Pillars of Hercules. I can say without a doubt, that this is my favorite travelogue of his. The book is concise and knowledgable and shows erudition lacking in most travelogues. It is a total learning experience. I have looked up more words ...

Ron Paul

Mises Institute, 2008

Will America hear his call for sound money?
PILLARS OF PROSPERITY by Dr. Ron Paul I am very happy to review the latest book from Texas congressman Ron Paul. His last book, A Foreign Policy of Freedom, consisted of speeches regarding U.S. interventions from the 1970s to the present day. Similarly, this title collects a career's worth of writings on economics, monetary policy and trade. Economics might not sound like a very exciting ...

5S for Operators: 5 Pillars of the Visual Workplace (For Your Organization!)

11 reviews

Productivity Press, 1996

Excellent book for implementing 5S
Very easy reading within a few hours. It covers all the 5S in a simple practical way with excellent examples. Shows a lot of pictures that help visualizing work area before and after 5S. I recommend strongly this book. Eleven plants in the comapny i work for are using it now.

Five Pillars of the Spiritual Life: A Practical Guide to Prayer for Active People
Robert J. Spitzer

Ignatius Press, 2008

Saint Ignatius Loyola, the founder of the Jesuits, espoused the ideal of becoming "contemplatives in action." He was convinced that contemplation (the deep awareness and appropriation of the unconditional love of God) should affect our actions, and that our actions need to be brought back to contemplation. These five dimensions of the spiritual life: (1) the Holy Eucharist, (2) spontaneous prayer, (3) the Beatitudes, (4) partnership with ...

The City and the Pillar: A Novel

19 reviews
Gore Vidal

Vintage, 2003

Restrained, but Powerful
Certainly, as other reviews have pointed out, 'The City and the Pillar' is notable because of its social significance; it was published in 1948 -- a time when homosexuality was still relegated to the fringes of society, so the last place you would expect to see it is in a novel. Gore Vidal put homosexual life out there for everyone to see, and if the picture that he paints isn't a pretty one ...
