Book Description
Margaret Morford - America's fastest-rising management strategist - has a no-nonsense message for managers everywhere: In today's fiercely competitive marketplace, you simply cannot afford to be the wishy-washy, "play it safe" manager of yesteryear. Why not? Because managing like that will earn you two rewards: Your best employees hitting the Exit door doing 95 mph and your bottom-line sinking like a stone. Dismissing today's burned-out management theories, Margaret reveals the ultimate 6-step management makeover - Management Courage. In seven profoundly eye-opening chapters, Margaret shows why this unorthodox, revolutionary strategy must be embraced now by every manager and employer wishing to win the impassioned devotion of their employees.

A must read for all managers who want to be effective.......2007-08-31
This book is a quick read filled with many immediately useful actions. I finished the book completely re-energized. Management is not for the faint of heart. It is difficult to tell people things they don't want to hear, but it is essential to be able to do so if one is to be a successful manager. With humor and significant insight, Margaret Morford reminds us of the role we've chosen as managers and the committment required. Management Courage is essential for effective leaders. Margaret Morford is as compelling in print as she is in person.
Integrity wins in the long run!.......2007-01-19
This was a wonderful read! I love the stories that put a real personal touch to the book. This book represents what it takes to have courage to hold integrity on issues that take great character in dealing with people.
The courage to hold true to standards has a wonderful outcome if all people are treated like human beings. Employees of today need to be feel valued and appreciated! This is a manager must read!
Management Courage: Having the Heart of a Lion.......2006-11-04
I thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated this book.
It is a quick read (I read it between Seattle and Dallas) due to its length and the interest level it generates.
Rarely do I read a management book with which I can wholeheartedly agree. This is one. This book reinforces what my experience has shown me, and encourages me to stick to what I know is true and right.
Test Your Management Courage.......2006-10-05
Do you want to test your Management Courage? Read this down-to-earth, insightful, thought provoking, easy to read, challenging and entertaining book. By far the best management book I have read in many years. This is a book you will want to read in one sitting - really!
management courage is a verb.......2006-07-11
Management Courage is a refreshing, straightforward book of principles anyone striving to be a leader should read. What is most refreshing about this book is the author's ability to relate personal and practical examples to the reader that can truly be applied to his/her actual workplace. Management Courage discusses concepts, that on the surface seem to be common sense. In reality, they are often difficult to execute. Examples are shared that show the reader what courage truly looks like in a variety of real life work situations. I would recommend this book as a "handbook" of sorts for every leader I know.

The result is an exciting series with riveting, action-packed adventures that will entertain, enlighten, and challenge readers as never before. In the series debut, Heart of a Lion, Noah struggles to resist the siren call of the world's pleasures, while straining to hear the still, small voice of his father's God.

Fiction, drop the historical..........2006-03-01
I have to agree with D.White about this story having numerous errors when compared with the Bible account. For example, Heart of a Lion has everyone eating meat before the Flood, but the Bible states that man was only to eat plants before the Flood. Meat was only allowed after the Flood. Yet the Godly men in this story eat meat before the Flood. I also had a hard time believing that the Noah of this story, who was not only tempted but jumped feet first into sin for a bit, really accurately represents "a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time (Gen. 6:9)." Also, instead of coming to God because he realizes that God is right and making that faith in God his own, it seemed to me Noah rather said, 'hey, I don't know what to believe, I'll believe whatever you tell me.' It might have been a good story if it wasn't pretending to be about Noah, but the historical and Biblical inaccuracies just keep me from enjoying the story. If you want a really well-written, historically and Biblically accurate fiction book about the Flood, read "The Heavens Before" by Kacy Barnett-Gramckow.
Great Book about Noah.......2005-06-25
This was a great book about Noah and his family. It really put the bible to life. I loaned this book out to several friends, and they could not put the book down. One friend read the book in one day, not going to bed until 5 am! I highly recommend this book - it really made me want to study the story of Noah in depth.
Wonderful, thought-provoking........2005-05-22
I thought this adaptation of the life of Noah was wonderful! I find Mr. Morris's writing to be gripping and holds one's interest until the last page! I have read the entire "Lion's of Judah" series, and they are all equally wonderful. Highly recommend!
The Bible Biographies Present: NOAH!.......2004-10-28
Let me get this up front. Gilbert Morris is one of my favorite writers. As a guy, I gotta admit I don't wait out the "romances", sorry Friend Gilbert. My wife does and that counts. Up front, number two... Gilbert Morris would not, did not and never would play fast and loose with what the Bible states. I feel sorry for nit-picking reviewers who lie in wait for an omission or addition that sets them off into printing entire books of the Word online to back up their piousness. Get a life babe! These books are meant to augment the experiences of these great patriarchs not re-write them! To the point now that I've had my tirade... This is a GREAT book! These people simple came alive and leapt off the pages. The descriptions of the times and the scenes are spellbinding. If you look in the Bible and count out how few chapters are actually devoted to the story of Noah, you will see the remarkable talent of Gilbert Morris. This guy Noah did actually live, slip up, worry his parents, stay out late, had a drink or two and yet walked with God. I kept thinking about all the old Sci-Fi stuff in the fifties and sixties about neighbors ridiculing the "nut" who constructed a fallout shelter, yet pounded on the door demanding admission when the air-raid warnings sounded. In short, if you wanna knowa Noah... a pun... loosen up- Read this book. Like the commercial about spaghetti sauce "you want it, it's in there. Score 5 for Gilbert Morris.
Worst Christian historical fiction I've ever read.......2003-12-20
As I read this book, I really began to wonder if Morris read the Bible, let alone researched ancient history from a Christian perspective. There are numerous statements that conflict with the Biblical account. Like the book has Noah barely fitting all the animals in the Ark when research has shown that there would be plenty of room for the animals, food, humans, and then extra room for exercise besides! Morris states that there were only two sons of Adam (excluding Abel): Seth and Cain. But Gen. 5:4 says, "After Seth was born, Adam lived 800 years and had other SONS and daughters." So Adam has at least two more sons. Jewish tradition has Adam with about 18 sons total. Morris states that farming was only invented a generation or two before Noah, and herding rarely done in preference of hunting. However, Gen. 4:2b-4 says, "Now Abel kept flocks, and Cain worked the soil. In the course of time Cain brought some of the fruits of the soil as an offering to the LORD. But Abel brought fat portions from some of the firstborn of his flock." Farming and herding were common from the beginning! Morris implies that mankind was very primitive in Noah's day, but the second generation of men (Cain) built cities and by the eighth generation, Tubal-Cain was doing complex metal work (bronze is an alloy of copper and tin mixed in specific ratios and iron is a more difficult metal to work). (Noah was 10th generation.) There are numerous mistakes like these.
So Morris' setting and many of the foundations for Noah's motives and actions are based on a world that Noah never knew. If Morris was going to write Biblical fiction, the least he could have done was stick to what the Bible said on the subject.

Book Description
The gathering forces of the Dark Powers threaten the world of man. The legions of Faery, aided by trolls, demons and the Wild Hunt itself, are poised to overthrow the Realms of Light. Holger Carlsen, a bemused and puzzled twentieth-century man mysteriously snatched out of time, finds himself the key figure in the conflict. Arrayed against him are the dragons, giants and elven warriors of the armies of Chaos, and the beautiful sorceress Morgan le Fay. On his side is a vague prophecy, a quarrelsome dwarf and a beautiful woman who can turn herself into a swan, not to mention Papillon, the magnificent battle-horse, and a full set of perfectly fitting armour, both of which were waiting for him when he entered the magical realm. The shield bears three hearts and three lions - the only clue to Holger Carlsen's true identity. Could Carlsen really be a legendary hero, the only man who can save the world?

Timeless Classic.......2007-06-28
This here's a true timeless classic of fantasy. I've never read anything by the author before, and have had this one on my shelf for a while. Nearly 60 years after being printed, this novel still seems fresh. There's something for nearly everyone here, pulp adventure, humor, lightness and depth. Should be assigned reading for any wanna be fantasy writer. Quite Christian in nature, but not enough to disturb my inner pagan. Easily recommended.
The Defender of Christendie and Mankind.......2007-02-13
I first read this book over thirty years ago. I remember how much it meant to me even though at that time I didn't understand all the references. I was a little afraid that rereading it again after all these years might prove disappointing to me. It wasn't- if anything I love this book more than ever. I am also amazed that it was written in 1953, for its talk of parallel universes and the principles of quantum physics long predates the popularization of those topics.
Briefly, this is the story of an Americanized agnostic engineer of Danish descent who finds himself battling the Nazis on a beach during WW2. A head wound sends his consciousness across to the other world that he simultaneously inhabits. It is a parallel universe in modern terms, or a "higher plane" in esoteric terminology, but, as he tells himself, this is just substituting words for the same reality. But both worlds are connected, and the agnostic engineer concludes that the connection between the two is...God. He finds that in both the same battle of Law versus Chaos rages. In our world the Nazis threaten to engulf the planet, and in the realer, purer realm of which ours is but a pale reflection, the Middle World threatens to blot out Light forever. But Chaos had failed to account for the fact that in its time of need the universe will call forth a champion on all planes. The only problem is that the champion may not immediately recall who and what he truly is...
Before Zelazny and Amber, before Moorcock and Melnibone, before Thomas Covenant and the Land, or Simon Tregarth and Witch World, there was Holger Carlsen in the Middle World on the marches of the Empire. You can read this as a pure adventure romance (witches, warlocks, elves, faeries dragons, giants, trolls, etc.) or you can get a little more out of it, but it is definitely worth your time.
Shockingly Interesting for it's time! An undeniable classic........2006-02-08
After reading this book there is no doubt in my mind that many many fantasy writer's have mirrored Poul Anderson. I am shocked that this was written as long ago as it was! Poul Anderson was doubtless ahead of his time. Although, this book was awesome I have to admit that since so many books were inspired by this work it makes it fall heavy on the predictable side. Despite this, I am glad that I read it because it is such a classic and Poul Anderson is a genius. The only regret I have is that Poul Anderson has passed on and I've only just discoved him!
Quick, readable fantasy.......2004-07-07
"Three Hearts and Three Lions" is a good book, but it's not great. It was groundbreaking in its time (the 1950s) but now appears dated and rushed, mostly because this book was originally written as a serial for magazines.
Knowing that, it's easier to comprehend the less-than-fully-fleshed-out characterizations. Holger Carlson, our man out of time (he's from the 20th century and is adrift in a new, fantastic world filled with "swan-mays" and witches and elves), is a cipher at the beginning, and is almost as much of one at the end. He wants to do good, and does it -- but is hampered by lack of faith, and is sometimes helped by greater knowledge of engineering, chemistry and especially physics.
All of this is realistic, interesting, and well worth your time to read.
Where this book falls flat, in my opinion, is in the realm of characterization. Granted, this was the 1950s, so Alianora the swan-may's fluffy characterization was about the best most authors would manage. However, Mr. Anderson had already written about a strong woman in "Brainwave" if I recall correctly; he knew how to get strong women across in the marketplace, and moreover, he knew how to write romance.
This is not romance by any stretch of the imagination, although there's a fair amount of sex (along with a goodly amount of violence). Unlike much literature of the 1950s, Mr. Anderson makes Holger question his morality and judgement; this, in my opinion, is the one really good bit of characterization Holger has, and is the only reason he is likable.
The good points about "Three Hearts and Three Lions:" It's quick. It's interesting. It is realistic. And there are spots of humor.
The bad points? There isn't much characterization or romance. Alianora the swan-may is rather trite and boring, and most of the other minor characters are no better. And there isn't much explanation of why everyone recognizes Holger, but why Holger doesn't recognize them.
Still. It's readable, interesting, and has its good points. And it was groundbreaking in the genre.
Better reads by Mr. Anderson include the massive "King of Ys" saga, the Dominic Flandry series, the "Last Viking" trilogy about Harold Hardrede, and "Brainwave."
Compared to those others, this is a three star novel, and that's how I'm rating it.

A nice, quick escape..........2004-03-18
"Three Hearts & Three Lions," published in the early 1950s, certainly proved to be an influential work in the fantasy genre. It is a clear inspiration to writers such as R.A Salvatore (see his Spearwielder series), and many other authors with close ties to TSR. (The Dungeons & Dragons concept of a troll is taken almost verbatim from the sinister creature that appears here.) Poul Anderson writes with a generally favorable prose while relating the tale of Holger Carlson, a Dane who, amidst the chaos of World War II, is transported to a strange, alternate reality where magic is commonplace and he is destined to become the realm's champion in an epic struggle against the forces of Chaos. Some interesting characters crop up (but dialogue is not Anderson's strong point), and a few of the brief, dislocated adventures that somehow manage to appear in so short a read are worthwhile affairs, but there's no overriding sense of purpose in "Three Hearts & Three Lions." The battle between the forces of Law and Chaos is vague at best, and never comes to a head. Female characters are sexual objects with generally irritating personalities (it was the `50s, after all!), and relationships are scarcely solid enough to involve the reader in any significant way. (One character's death is unearned and out of place in the otherwise light-hearted yarn, and is immediately followed by merrymaking that further compounds the problem.) Also, despite several attempts to compare the fantasy royale battle in the novel to the struggles of the second World War, I found few actual parallels that made any sense or even hinted at the same urgency (How could they, after all?). Despite these faults, "Three Hearts & Three Lions" is a nice look back at the genre before it was stolen by blatant commerciality, and it's one of the first in the subgenre of "modern guy (or gal) transported to a magical netherworld to ultimately save the day." The late Anderson offers a nice, quick escape that's very worthwhile to this day.

FROM THE DUSTJACKET.......2005-08-11
Richard the Lionheart, one of the most well-known kings in England's history left his country and was rarely there. He preferred, instead, to go on his Crusades with Louis of France while his betrothed, Berengaria, anxiously awaits her beloved's return. ~*~*~ Henry II was died, and his son Richard had come to the throne, He had vowed to win back Jerusalem for the Christian world and was ready to place his kingdom in jeoprady to fulfil that vow even though his treacherous brother John casting covetous eyes on his crown. Richard's life was one fantastic adventure after another but this not merely an account of full blooded adventure it is also the revelation of the strange nature of England's most romantic king. ~*~*~ Here is the colour and splinder of an age when chivalry and cruelty went side by side. It is inhabited by the shrewd King of France who was tormented by the emotions aroused in him by his narural enemy Berengaria Richard's Queen, who could never hold a place in his life for which she longed; Joanna his sister who adored yet defied him; Prince John his violent and trecherous brother; aged Queen Eleanor living on as vital as ever. And dominating them all was the fearless, romantic monarch aho,the world said had the heart of a lion. ~*~*~

i love this book.......2004-04-07
personally, i believe that mrs. fetzer Lion heart was a great book packed with adventure, romance and drama. I greatly appreciated the fact the herione wasn't a conventional lady who put so much stock in apperances and her "reputation." Aurora was able to personify stength with caring, a will of steel but yet vunerablitly, and the ability to love another without losing oneself. I also totally loved the hero even though at times he could be totally bullheaded and you just want to jump in the book and hit him on the head hoping maybe it would knock some sense into him but Ransom was a great man who was complicated and it was great from page to page to go through the journey of seeing the mysterious witch Aurora fall in love with the pirate king Ransom and vice versa. I would definitley recommend this book to anyone, it was a magnificent book that I throughly enjoyed.

A Human Story.......2000-04-18
This collections of stories about Leo Bebb, is an interesting vignette of life. Whilst Bebb swings from villan, to conn man, to careing pastor, the author is really showing how we all have good, bad and ugly in us and God's grace is active in our lives despite this.
The stories are wiritten in a earthy and human way. They will make one laugh, cry and be disgusted at the characters. If one holds a curious facination for human life, in particular in the 1950's - 1960's then this book is for them.
A truly good read.
Book Description
Lyme disease is one of the least understood of the new diseases--and one of the most dreaded. Because undiagnosed or untreated Lyme disease can pose serious health threats, people who develop symptoms such as joint pain and tiredness worry that they may have chronic Lyme disease. Even people with confirmed acute Lyme disease worry that the treatment they're getting won't cure the disease and that it may reappear later in a more debilitating form. These fears are made worse by the well-publicized uncertainties surrounding diagnosis and treatment of the disease.
In this book, noted Lyme disease researcher and clinician Alan Barbour presents a comprehensive and even-handed discussion of what we know about the disease and offers medical science's current thinking about its more controversial aspects. Throughout the book, Dr. Barbour uses the stories of four "patients" to illustrate the varying course of the disease in different individuals and under different circumstances. A fifth "patient" stands as the model for people who, in the absence of a clear diagnosis, remain convinced that Lyme disease explains their symptoms--and as a result suffer for too long without appropriate treatment for what's really ailing them.
Including illustrations of ticks and the rashes caused by their bites, as well as maps showing the worldwide distribution of Lyme disease and the relative risk of the disease across the United States, the book offers a wealth of useful information for patients, family members and caregivers, and those who live, work, and play in high-risk areas:
Explains how Lyme disease is spread, and who is at risk Describes the symptoms and consequences of Lyme disease, from the rash following a tick bite to the most serious complications, such as infection of the nervous system, joints, and heart Describes all the diagnostic tests for Lyme disease and explains what the test results mean Compares Lyme disease with other conditions, such as fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome, and explains why they are often mistaken for Lyme disease Presents a compassionate and convincing discussion of depression, which is often the correct diagnosis for a patient who clings to a diagnosis of Lyme disease despite repeated negative diagnostic tests Carefully explains proven and unproven treatments, and summarizes the debates about antibiotic and other treatments Outlines what individuals can do to avoid getting Lyme disease as well as what the community can do to reduce the number of Lyme-carrying ticks
Here at last is an intelligent and interesting guide for patients, as well as an insider's tour of medical science. The author includes an explanation of how the Borrelia burgdorferi bacterium was discovered in the laboratory and how it was first connected with the disease, a fascinating account of modern medical detective work.
Customer Reviews:
Author is only an "expert" in ignorance. I burned my copy. .......2006-01-17
I destroyed my copy so that no one would ever read it and assume it had validity. This guy knows little about lyme and doesn't stay current. I hope people read these reviews before they waste their money. My copy was given to me, but it will never attempt to mis-inform anyone else. I agree with other reviewers, if you could rate a book zero, that is what this book would have gotten.
Detrimental to those in need of treatment! Take caution........2002-04-06
I contracted chronic Lyme disease a year ago and was not diagnosed for ten months. During that time I got worse and worse and not one doctor helped me. In fact they were rude and didn't listen. The over all feeling in the medical community is one of disbelief and hostility. This book is the epitome of those feelings. Reading this book made me feel the same way I did listening to a doctor tell me that the positive test was not significant. This book does nothing more than berate those that are already sick and frightened. It makes you feel as though you are the one with the problem. The disease is all in your head. Also I think I should add that the author of this book was appointed to the Lyme Advisory community for California and then was promptly removed because the people that had Lyme Disease were so angry with his attitude towards them. Beware of this book. It will do nothing other than make you feel bad about a disease that is not your fault. Which leads me to the age old question, Which is worse the cure or the disease? When there are books like this on the market perpetuating the horrible attitude towards truly sick people it is neither. Until this opinion is dispelled, there is no disease and there will be no cure despite how sick you really are.
Information is not helpful; controversy is not explained.......2001-11-29
This book will only confuse you if you are looking for real answers to the Lyme disease controversy or help for an undiagnosed illness. Barbour does not give you enough information to make informed decisions regarding treatment or diagnosis of an actual entrenched and untreated case of Lyme disease. Your money will be better spent buying books by Denise Lang, Karen Forschner, or Polly Murray.
Alan G. Barbour's book not worth reading.......2001-11-29
Alan G. Barbour's book not worth reading
Alan G. Barbour is no friend to the Lyme patient. I suffer from chronic Lyme disease and was terribly disappointed and angered by this book. There was a pervasive, underlying thread which downplayed the number of Lyme cases, the severity of the disease, and the complexity of the disease. Barbour's disregard for the plight of Lyme patients is demonstrated in his inexcusable lack of treatment guidelines besides a cookbook reliance on a short term antibiotic therapy which has been clinically proven wrong for many patients. Many, many people are suffering with Lyme disease and cannot get proper treatment. If you buy this book, you will be, in my opinion, adding to this suffering. You will also be less informed when you have finished this book than before you began. Please don't add credibility to Barbour as a Lyme disease expert by buying this book.
A comprehensive, objective and informative treatise.......2000-10-03
Barbour (Prof. of Medicicine & Microbiology at U, Texas, and specialist on the topic) provides a sympathetic, wide-ranging look at Lyme disease and related topics that reveals not only the difficulties in fully understanding the disease, but (in the process) the difficulties in diagnosis that medicine faces in many areas of diagnosis and treatment. The book is very clearly written and interesting to both layperson and medic. The lack of references is unfortunate, but as a leading expert, Barbour may be considered a primary source. If you want to be told you have Lyme disease, you may be disappointed. If you want to understand why that diagnosis might be problematical, and what the various sources of difficulty are, you will be more than satisfied. In the end, you will also be in a position to participate in a process of participatory diagnosis and treatment between patient and medic with a great deal more certainty, based on real knowledge.
