Excellent Book!.......2003-08-10
I purchased this book used. It is absolutely wonderful including a multitude of projects with easy to understand directions, recommendations and suggestions. The entire 'manual' is chock-full with beautiful color photos. Projects range from arranging to terrariums to bonsai to optimal placement, to plant care. This book is indispensable to someone looking for a few fun projects or someone who just wants to add a gem of a plant book to their shelf. Happy Reading!
Spawns creativity while providing a good resource.......2001-12-19
Whether you want to learn a little about hydroculture or terrariums to just your everyday houseplant or hanging basket, it's a very good overlook at different types and styles of indoor gardening.This is a great book that not only provides information on growing plants and caring for them, but also gives tips on where and how to place them in various environments. Also, there are interesting craft ideas thrown in for those who want to get creative with their plants and flowers.
very thorough and easy to understand.......2001-11-05
This is an excellent choice for someone who wants to learn about plants. It includes a good number of plants and their care and also has excellent information about forcing bulbs, propogating by air layering, etc. The directions for the care of specific plants are easy to understand--no mention is made of the number candlelight whatevers you need to grow them. Overall I think this is an excellent book for anyone interested in indoor gardening. The pictures are nice too.
Great Overview.......1999-05-17
This book is wonderful for quick reference. Beautiful pictures help guide plant selection. The "plant finder's guide" is useful because it uses symbols to define the care needed for each plant. This guide is categorized by the physical characteristics of the plants (ie, trailing plants, climbing plants, etc.). What is lacking is a more comprehensive selection of plants, especially the more unusual ones.
Comprehensive guide on indoor plant decorating........1999-02-17
This book has a lot of style and substance. It's mainly geared for someone who wants to decorate with house plants and the advice on leaf coloring and size of plant is really helpful if you want to know how to display your plants aesthetically. The book is organized by house location (living room, bathroom, etc.) then the kinds of plant (bulbs, bushy plants, upright plants, winter flowers, etc.). There's also a section in caring for dried flowers. The section in artificial lights and hydroculture is a bit scanty, but that doesn't seem to be the main focus of the book. The care and regulation of plants is shunted in the back section of the book.

Customer Reviews:
Bamboo Garden here I come!.......2001-04-08
On the design side, this book succeeds very well, there's all kinds of information here about indoor garden design elements and practices including four design plans. One nice feature of this book is it's emphasis on historical gardening practices, especially those of the Victorians (there's even a list of rare book dealers specializing in botanical history at the end of the book in case you wish to see what your great-great-grandparents were reading). Included here are terrariums, Wardian cases and water gardening, each with a picture right out of garden books from the 1860's. The most intriguing entry in this section is "The Epiphyte Tree" -- a branch or log on which you grow epiphytes (plants such as tillandsias, hoyas, certain orchids and bromeliads, that grow on other plants).
I thought the second section of the book ("Plant Specifics") was the most interesting. Here we learn how to create and care for six specific types of gardens (Palm, Bamboo, Indoor Orangerie, Cacti and Other Succulents, Ficus and Fern). It would never have occurred to me to make an bamboo garden but judging from the pictures, this plant makes a terrific addition to anyone's indoor garden. Each of these sections has growing requirements plus a list of the best plants for indoors. The last chapter in this section lists other landscape plants including Aralia, Schefflera, Norfolk Island Pine, Dracaena and Cordyline, Spathiphylum (ie, Peace Lily), Yucca, Podocarpus, Aspidistra, Philodendron and Grape Ivy.
The last section has basic cultivation instructions (soil mixes, pots, fertilizers, watering, light requirements and biological pest control). The chapter I found most useful was that explaining how foot-candles and wattage are calculated and giving alternative sources of indoor lighting. This is followed by a bibliography, an extensive list of suppliers (including web addresses!) and the index. A very interesting and useful book at a very reasonable price.

brilliant.......2006-04-19
I loved this book! I love picture books, so this satisfied my desire to stare in awe at gorgeous gardens, however, it also was very detailed and explicit in how to content. I thought it was the perfect balance between inspiration and explanation.
Change your garden, change your life!.......2003-09-05
This book was given to me as a Mother's day present... and I thank my mother-in-law every time I open it! As an organic gardening teacher in a Montessori elementary school, I have found this book to be inspirational to children and grown-ups alike. The photos are gorgeous, of course. But it is the way Larkom puts her gardens together that is the most compelling aspect of this beautiful book. You will never look at your vegetable (or flower) garden the same. Mixing edible flowers into vegetable beds in stunning geometric patterns, weaving intriquing and useful elements like benches and fences out of willow or other local materials, making phantasmagorical trellises for peas and other climbers, creating an environment for you to spend hours of pure joy while eating fresh, organic food... does it get any better than this? The end of the book features an alphabetical listing with pictures and growing info on most of the plants she works with as well as great how-to tips on every aspect of home gardening. My students, after looking through the pictures, cannot wait to get to work making a dream garden for all of us to thrive in. Just buy it!

Customer Reviews:
understanding myself.......2007-05-01
After reading Stepping Out of the Bubble a year ago, I went back and read it again for a second time. I was able to pick up even more information this time around that helped me understand and overcome some of my own internal conflicts. This is a book you can read at any point in your life and always find information that pertains to that particular moment. Krehbiel has a way of explaining things that others may consider unexplainable. Whether you are a student, a teacher, or just a guy like me, this book can and will change your life.
A practical resource for better living.......2006-03-27
For me, "Stepping Out Of The Bubble" was reminiscent of the renowned books of author, M. Scott Peck, in the style of presenting profound insights into sensible, easy-to-understand language and clear ideas an average person can relate to. Practicing Licensed Professional Counselor and Nationally Certified Cognitive-Behavioral Therapist and author of "Stepping Out Of The Bubble", James Krehbiel proficiently shares a portion of his expertise, condensing great weight into accessible and workable solutions for a more fulfilling life's plan.
The "bubble" represents our security and comfort zone, but it is also the inner place where we store the pain of our past experiences and the unpleasant reality of that not being made conscious which keeps us bound in unhealthy and self-defeating patterns. Staying within this bubble limits our emotional responsiveness as we numb ourselves to the coexistence even as unresolved issues unconsciously filter forth. To step outside of the bubble is to courageously examine the contents in all honesty and to face life's reality outside of the bubble. Once outside the bubble, one can move forward to experience life in more emotional depth, fullness and passion. "Being a fully functioning individual is about being true to whom you are and letting things be the way they are," explains author, James Krehbiel.
With brilliant and compassionate understanding, Mr. Krehbiel briefly details methods used and pertinent case examples within his therapy practice. "Self-regulation is a goal of therapy. I educate people in the fact that all the answers are ultimately within." "Stepping Out Of The Bubble" strives to do the same, by giving information on how we become trapped in the bubble and how beneficial the making of conscious choices to leave, can be.
Some of the many topics included within this book are: being assertive, characteristics of an "authentic" person, the integration of each of our different personality parts, the difference between true guilt and false guilt, setting boundaries, addictions and addictions to "manic" relationships, awareness (staying in the moment or mindfulness), grounding, honoring one's inner voice, panic attacks, OCD and mood disorders. The section regarding kids and parenting was exceptional, in my opinion, and I found many points about discipline that made much sense. Also appreciated was the section relating to religion (dogma) versus faith (spiritual) as well as what needed to be said about pop culture.
I enjoyed reading "Stepping Out Of The Bubble" and would recommend it to anyone. It is enriching and inspirational.
Reviewed -by C.Gale Perkins-author.......2006-03-18
Stepping Out Of The Bubble by James P. Krehbiel, Is an outstanding book on Counseling Therapy. Krehbiel, is able to put life patterns and fears into perspective so that the lay person can fully understand the mystery that most think is behind counseling. His approach to show that so much of what we seek answers for is within ourselves and with the right counsellor we can become free and step out of the Bubble or Bubbles that a lot of us are in.
This book should be a gift to every teen and their parents, no home should be without it.
Gaining Courage to Live Outside of the Bubble.......2006-02-25
James P. Krehbiel's Stepping Out of the Bubble was a fascinating read. I found myself underlining various passages. His explanation of how we get stuck in the bubble (comfort zone), and how we find our way out is powerful. It provided me with hope as I move through my own personal journey. I found myself experiencing an emotional reaction to many of the case examples and concepts he explored. He definitely hit some "hot buttons" in my life. But Mr. Krehbiel also provided specific guidelines and tools for stepping out of the bubble. At one point he says, "Courage can be defined by those who live outside the bubble as opposed to those who live in it. I like to compare stepping out of the bubble to wading into the water."
His chapter which includes ideas on multidimensional thinking is appropriate in today's political climate. He indicates that true dialogue takes into consideration the appreciation for differences in opinions. He makes some profound statements about pop culture's affect on the lives of today's children. He also gives parents tools and resources for assisting their children in bettering their behavior. The book ends with a resounding "yes" to life with a hopeful, powerful way of perceiving and reframing life's problems. This was an excellent book!
My Review of a Great Book.......2006-02-23
"Stepping Out of the Bubble : Reflections On the Pilgrimage of Counseling Therapy by James P. Krehbiel is an amazing and outstanding book that provides help and direction to the many people that are suffering from problems described in this book.
I was amazed at how many of the problems and challenges, that the author writes about, are problems and challenges I have seen many people suffer with.
The counseling theory and practice information in this book provides a direction for people that have a problem and are willing to go to counseling and risk moving forward in their journey toward finding personal growth and development, and eventually stepping out of the bubble.
Many people have problems and challenges that they never seek help for and they and their loved ones continue to suffer. This book goes a long way in bringing the thought of counseling to people and helping people to better understand the counseling process.
To author James P. Krehbiel thank you for writing your great book. I am convinced your book will help many people and because of your book many more people will step out of the bubble. I recommend this book very highly and also feel it would be a great college text.

Book Description
A few years ago I suffered from depression, and I started keeping a journal of my feelings. Later I put my thoughts on paper in the form of poetry. It was if the Lord was speaking to my heart to let go and let Him handle everything. The first poem I wrote was the Glory Of God. Soon I realize that everything I went through was not about me, but Him. Yes, without Him I would be nothing. Truly the gifts and talents I have are from Him to be use for Him only. I praise God that He found favor in me to share such wisdom and knowledge. Truly it is not me, but Him and for Him I am stepping out on faith.

Continuing an exceptional study of the Old Testament.......2007-05-14
See my review of Volume I, Old Testament Challenge Volume 1: Creating a New Community: Life-Changing Stories from the Pentateuch (Old Testament Challenge)
There is one variation in this volume. The lesson on finding Christ in the Old Testament does not have an audio CD lecture. This was not a major problem, but it also seemed somewhat out of place. I would have thought it would fit better in the prophecy context (vol 4). Nevertheless the series is outstanding.

Book Description
Stepping Out By Faith does not end in the last page of this book. It is about the choices we are faced with in life on a daily basis. With all the hurt in the world and all the opposition we face, at the end of each day we step out on the limb of faith. We too can reflect the beauty of Christ in our lives to share. This world will only change one person at a time who is willing to take the step of faith to accomplish the plans and purposes that God has laid before them. It is time to step out and share with the world, the wonder and excitement that can only be found in Jesus. Step out today, and see what God will do for those that put their trust in Him, and take the necessary steps to finish the race. Tomorrow is another day, but for now, live it as if it was the last day you will spend on Earth. Time is getting short, and one day in the moment of the blink of an eye, He will come for those that have stepped out in faith. To God be the glory forever and ever, Amen.

Books of Fun and Faith for kids.
Product Description
Woven within the chapters of this book is a blessed journey of stepping out into the pathways of faith. With a burning desire to serve the lord, Janice shares many personal experiences since the Lord called her husband David into full-time service, some of which include: painful trials, faith being put to the test, the Lord's chastening hand upon her life, learning what "I can't but He can" means, agonizing issues of the heart, needs faithfully provided, innumerable blessings, God's love, and her desire to live a crucified life. She learned through her trials that we, in our own strength, can do nothing, and the resting in Jesus Christ and his finished work at Calvary is the only way to have "joy unspeakable and full of glory."
