Product Description
Before establishing himself as the master of disaster with the 1970s film hits The Poseidon Adventure and The Towering Inferno, Irwin Allen created four of televisions most exciting and enduring science-fiction series: Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, Lost in Space, The Time Tunnel and Land of the Giants. Filmed within yards of each other on the busy and successful studio lots of 20th CenturyFox, these 1960s series were full of Allens favorite tricks and techniques. Sometimes adapted from earlier sources, sometimes devised by Allen and his award-winning special effects teams, those characteristic Allen touches have influenced other productions from the original Star Trek to shows of the present day. Every science-fiction show owes something to Allen, and yet none has equaled his series for pace, excitement, or originality. This book documents and examines in detail the premise and origin of each of the four shows and offers an objective evaluation of every episode. In this close-up look at these television landmarks, the author proves that when Irwin Allens television episodes were good, they were greatand when they were bad, they were still terrific fun.

Badly Done.......2006-11-09
Nothing new here. Rehash of old stuff already out there. Not worth the $$$
All old info?.......2006-04-30
Since this book has yet to be published I don't know exactly what it will include, but if it includes what the review says it will include, it is all old news. Bill Anchors put out decent episode guides already and most of the information is on the internet. Save your money and do a search on the internet for Irwin Allen and get the same information for free.

A Grace Disguised.......2007-09-13
The book, A Grace Disguised, changed my life. A doctor actually "prescribed" it for me, after the death of my daughter and her fiance. After hearing so many people blunder through callus pharses they hoped would make me feel better it was a great relief to spend time with someone who actually knew how I felt.
Many, in my family, have read this book. My husband's life was changed, as was my own. We have given this book to countless others who are in the midst of grief. We always keep several copies on hand. My husband, who is new to online buying, bought these copies. When they started arriving in Spainsh we were both a little confused. He had somehow gotten over to the Spanish version with out knowing it. We can only deduce that we're about to meet spainsh speaking grievers in need of comfort.
As you can probably tell by reading this, I am not Richard, I am his wife, secretary and best friend.
Best Book to heal Grief.......2007-08-18
Jerry Sittser knows loss. He deals with the most difficult aspects of grief. He understands and leads us to healing. Of all the books I've read over the past year, this one was by far the best and most helpful in dealing with the death of my loved one.
Highly recommended. This book helped me........2007-07-20
The author speaks from experience. He worked through an absolutely devastating loss in his own life. It is written from a Christian perspective. It does not offer "just cheer up" type of advice or rely simply on platitudes, but gets to the heart of the matter : How, with God's help, you can come through your situation a better person.
One of the best books on Grief.......2007-03-08
The author lost his mother, wife, and daughter in one car accident (he and his other children survived the accident). The book shares how he dealt with it from a Christian but very real perspective. No platitudes or "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger" nonsense. It was very helpful to me after my wife died.
Very, very well written and touching.......2007-03-06
Incredibly well written from a man who has been
through it. His ability to express the emotions
he was going through that no one else can imagine can
really touch and help someone who is going through
a terrible loss. One of the most helpful books for someone
dealing with the loss of a loved one.

Great educational book !!!!.......2007-06-10
I have given two books to friends becoming grand mothers and they loved the book...........We all think it's a fabulous tool to interact with your children and or grand children.............I will be purchasing more in the future................................
Great resource!.......2007-04-15
As a former teacher and now a mom of 2 young children, I highly recommend this book to parents, grandparents and care providers who want to help their children get a running start on reading. This book is NOT a "drill and kill" get-your-child-reading-by-age-4-in-100-easy-lessons-or-else manual. It's all about how to deliberately expose your child to good literacy principles in a fun, engaging, natural way. The book even includes reproducible printouts of materials so you don't have to hunt them down yourself (who has time for that?)! I also plan to order this book as a gift for my sisters and friends of little ones.
True to its title.......2007-02-20
I love this book's activities because they're not only helping me foster a love of reading in my child and helping him learn to begin reading and writing, but also because the activities really are (per the title) bonding activities. One activity in the book, called "What Should We Talk About?", even has me telling my son stories about my own childhood that I wouldn't have shared with him without the book's wonderful prompts. These special moments have been precious. I have a ton of worksheet books at home, and they just don't compare to the learning and sharing this book facilitates. I can't recommend this book highly enough.

Develop & Mature as a Christian.......2003-06-18
from the back cover:
Becoming a Christian is only the beginning of a process of spiritual growth that involves increasing in knowledge of God, obedience to his word and understanding of his will.
Yet, some Christians' lives seem to grind slowly to a halt while others are disappointed because of their spiritual progress has not been as straightforward or as rapid as they had hoped. The growth of others is stunted by a lack of proper spiritual nourishment. Yet others feel they do not understand how to become mature Christians.
Grow in Grace explains how God helps us to develop as members of his family. Taking Jesus himself as the model for our growth, it explains some of the biblical principles of spiritual development, and gives a number of 'case histories' to illustrate how God works in our lives to mature us as Christians.
The biblical teachng in Grow in Grace will appeal to Christians at all stages, while its straightforward explanation of the patterns of God's work in his people makes it ideal for those who are just beginning.
about the author:
Sinclair B. Ferguson is minister of St. George's-Tron Church, Glasgow, Scotland. He is the author of Discovering God's Will, The Christian Life, A Heart for God, The Sermon on the Mount, Deserted by God? and other books published by Banner of Truth Trust.

A real eye opener.......2007-03-19
This is an excellent read that provides good thought provoking information written in a style that does not confuse or cause you to purchase other materials to undersyand what it is saying.
Grace is everything.......2007-03-16
Among the mysteries of Catholicism, none is more practically important than the doctrine of grace. It is at the very heart of Christianity because it describes the panorama of God's dealings with mankind. However the doctrine of grace is not simple, as may be seen from the sequence of errors in the understanding of grace seen along the path of the Church's history. In this wonderful book "The Glories of Divine Grace," Fr. Matthias J. Scheeben explains Divine Grace in a clear manner, far from the abstract treatises of other writers. It is written in a direct style that everyone can understand.He reminds us of the integral role grace plays in our daily lives and how a clear grasp of the basic principles of grace is useful, and may at times be indispensable, for directing oneself and others on the road to salvation.
Review from the Publisher.......2001-03-08
An impassioned appeal to us all to understand the nature of Sanctifying Grace, to preserve this incredible gift from God, and to grow in it each day for the rest of our lives. Explains how grace works, what are its effects, how to grow in grace, and the union with God that it allows us to achieve. Will amaze everyone! You will think of your life in terms of "before" and "after" having read this book!

This Message Never Grows Old.......2005-09-01
I'm reading Margaret Clarkson's "Grace Grows Best in Winter" for the umpteenth time. For over 30 years this book has come to my rescue when I've found myself going through times of testing and suffering. No other book I've read has given me such encouragement. It's a shame that the book seems to be out of print. Maybe Zondervan would reprint it if enough people requested it. In any case, I recommend that you buy any copy you can find and read it and pass it around. Your friends will bless you, and you'll be blessed.
Literary Healing Balm for the Soul.......2002-05-04
Margaret Clarkson's book, Grace Grows Best in Winter, is one of the finest I have ever read on the subject of personal anguish and suffering. Christian author and speaker Joni Erickson Tada was greatly helped by this book when she first became a quadriplegic, and she writes a brief introduction. The author states her goal: "to lead sufferers to discover and to embrace the character of God that they will be enabled to live triumphantly within the hedge of suffering wherein He has placed them, which in His inscrutible soverenty He has not yet seen fit to release them..." and I believe this is precisely what she does. I think any reader will be greatly affected by her work, either introduced to or reminded of the greatness and nearness of Christ to him or her in times of loneliness and personal toture - whatever the experience may be.
Clarkson is a hymn-writer as well as literary author, and her sense of the aesthetic is evident in her own words but also in the quotes throughout the book. She pulls from Christians throughout the ages: Juliana of Norwich, John Bunyan, Samuel Rutherford, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Christiana Rosetti, Amy Carmichal, The Nicene Creed, The Westminster Shorter Catechism, Thomas a Kempis, Horatius Bonar, Fanny Crosby and more. The quotes alone are worth the entire book - but one of the best features are her very short chapters. They are pithy and intense but also encouraging - and for one who is suffering and without the mental energy or physical stamina to focus for very long, these chapters are perfectly suited. They are not too short, though, for others who have the time and the privilege to delve deeply into what she is saying. My copy is used and was loaned to me by a friend who has read and reread this book with various-colored highlighters over the years. The corners are dog-eared and there are some tear-stains, some of which are mine more recently added. But again, I would recommend this book to anyone, particularly those who are hurting and hungering to know God's hand and presence in the present experience.
Clarkson writes from a Presbyterian perspective, but I think anyone - whether he or she is of any demonination or religious background, or even without a religious background or articulated faith - will benefit from this book. Even if it only raises more questions about God, they will be questions that every living soul is challenged to ask when one crashes into the cold and frightening world of personal suffering - be it suffering of your own or the suffering of a loved one whom you are caring for.
Don't pass up this opportunity to hear from Clarkson. She will be a helpful guide on the long and often tumultuous path to healing. Her wisdom far surpasses many in the present age of TV talk-show sound bites with self-help tips that have to be interrupted by commercials. Even if you are not a Christian and struggle with or don't agree with what she says, you will appreciate the time and effort she has put into this work. A must read for all who counsel those who are suffering.

The age of Caregivers.......2006-06-21
The generation of the baby boom is embarking upon the care of elderly parents. By 2030, 66 million elderly will reside in the United States, more than double the 1980 figure. This book strives to show common problems that older parents and their adult children face, and addresses spiritual gifts, life experiences, and the contribution older parents bring to their family, community and culture. Fowler, a pastor in Port Dickinson, New York, uses statements by people, which adds realism to the book.
Topics addressed include depression, anxiety, grief, and medical, financial and legal issues. Our society has also attached more value to earned income activity; Fowler addresses leisure and the values of volunteerism. The individual stories present both the problems and constructive solutions to retirement. For instance, one retired farmer created a large garden and fed many neighbors. Often the solutions to anxiety are simple and sensible.
Very systematic in her approach, Fowler has created an easy-to use source that can serve to improve interaction between adult children and their aging parents, a course book for churches or a devotional, with prayers concluding the chapters.
