Dr Van Impe knows his stuff!.......1999-12-02

I have not only read Dr Jack Van Impe's books about end time prophecy, but I am also a great fan of his show. This man speaks the truth. Anyone who fears the things Dr Van Impe writes about concerning the tribulation period and end times needs to start learning what salvation is all about. There is nothing to fear if you are a believer that Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins and He will return again soon to save His people. Dr Van Impe takes bible scripture and shows how prophecy in the bible has been fulfilled thus far and also things happening presently in our world that will lead to the rapture of the church and the great tribulation. Those who know the bible and are interested in bible prophecy know that Dr Jack Van Impe isn't some weird person trying to scare the population. Why are people so afraid of something that can make their world much much better?

More flies with honey..........1999-07-30

When will we stop trying to frighten people into embracing Christianity with books and threats like this? When will we start living the lives we're supposed to? Don't you think that would make someone want to find out more about Christianity?

Maybe I'm missing the point of being saved. I thought it was about enjoying life, not avoiding fire and brimstone.

"They'll know we are Christians by our... fear?

The Lord Liveth..........1998-11-25

""But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only." (Matt. 24:36)

Jack Van Impe continues to outdo himself. As a contribution to the millenarian ecstasy such literature as his creates, we have another one designed to play on the fears and misfortunes of humanity. Undoubtedly, as we have seen in Hal Lindsey's work, many of Impe's "predictions" will fade into the not-yet of history and be proven wrong by a God who is beyond our conceptions of history, much less our failed conceptions of the Apocalypse dating back further than even Thomas Muntzer and the Anabaptists. Impe perpetuates a severe lack of faith in Scripture and his premise falls under notions of reasoning which rely on pure speculation. In this book, as with his other books and television program, Impe seems to feel the need to prove to Christians that the Bible is true through his subjective analysis of current events - a tainted view of history that joins in with the greatest of our secular postmodern partisans. Rather, so it seems, no Christian should need to confirm by any other reasoning that the Bible is true and that God is real other than with faith. Faith cannot be rendered as mere polemic or bow to reason - as we see in Pascal's Pensees - but ought be based on one's want to know and enjoy God forever even in the confines of our own diachronic temporal experience.

I will argue that Impe deploys reasoning that he, in the same stroke, would deny in the light of faith. Moreover, I am continually concerned with the infatuation in the future and the use of the present to describe and to some degree, push us to the future. Not only does it form a temporal rift in our minds about the contexts we are presently living in - as such creating a severe disjunction in our epistemology - but history will show that such a view leads to apathy and carelessness on the part of the Christian regarding the needs of the neighbor. Moreover, it blinds us to the work of God in the present, in our midst, and undermines those passages that tell us not to speculate on such matters. If God lives and reigns now in the risen Christ, ought we not make that known rather than the mindless speculations of humankind, namely, the proprietors of these millenarian perspectives such as Impe? (also see, Jefferey, Lalonde, and Lindsey among others)

To conclude, Impe resigns the notion of a loving God who lives in our midst for the sake of his own subjective view of the Gospel - one that is severely superceded by law and speculation rather than based on love and reality in Jesus Christ.

This book will make you a believer!.......1998-07-03

Jack Van Impe startles and invigorates the reader in this enlightening journey into the deepest, darkest secret of our universe. Through a careful analysis of centuries old, cryptic passages, Impe clearly derives various theories concerning the fate of our existence. While scientists may scoff at the pure absence of fact and rational discourse, true believers will realize the power and clarity behind Impe's writing and acknowledge him as a true visionary and scholar. A must own for the inquistive mind!

God's timetable is right on schedule........1997-01-05

This timely documentary shows what to expect in the next millenium, when to anticipate it, and how to prepare for Christ's thousand years' reign on earth. It's a premillennial, pretribulational presentation by a respected evangelist who evaluates present day trends and events in light of scripture. It's also a chilling account of what lies ahead for those who refuse to accept the gospel. This book is an excellent starting point for sharing the Good News with those who do not know Jesus.

Book Description

The sequel to The Age of Extremes by "the best -known living historian in the world" (The Times, London). Eric Hobsbawm's The Age of Extremes was a remarkable phenomenon, a book of serious and challenging historical analysis that became a worldwide bestseller. Now, On the Edge of the New Century continues Hobsbawm's "magisterial" (The New York Times Book Review) analysis of the twentieth century, asking crucial questions about our inheritance from the century of conflict and its meanings for the years to come. Looking back over the last decade, Hobsbawm finds the distinctions between internal and international conflicts and between the state of war and the state of peace disappearing. He goes on to analyze the crisis of the multi-ethnic state and shows the distortions of history involved in the creation of its myths. He expresses his anxiety over the system of international relations between states that have so far ruled by colonialism and nuclear terror. Hobsbawm then assesses the impact that a popular global culture has had on every aspect of life, from happiness and social hierarchy to nutrition and the environment. Published this year throughout the world, On the Edge of the New Century is a concise summary of the thinking of one of the century's preeminent historians.

Broad but Lacking.......2002-04-28

This is a good little book on massive global trends, but Hobsbawn here loses touch with the pulse of history, and his self-describe leftist perspective lacks in concrete details. Don't get me wrong, it's a good read. I had no idea that factory workers made 419 times less than the average American CEO (some newer publications say 475 times less), and Hobsbawm's analysis of the "global gap" is penetrating. Wealth is polarizing not only within but also between nation states. As he says, we now live in a world "where people can live on cake rather than bread," a world where one-sixth of the world population is hungry or food insecure. Perhaps Hobsbawwm is at his best in this book when he analyses the insular nature of contemporary life in wealty Western states, like American:

"...to live in the the favored regions is to be virtually cut off from the experiecnce, let alone the reactions, of people outside those regions. It takes an enormous effort of the imagination, as well as a great deal knowledge, to break out of our comfortable, protected, and self-absorded enclaves and enter an uncomfortable and unprotectd larger world inhabited by the majority of the species. We are cut off from this world even if the sum total of amassed information is everywhere accessible at the click of a mouse, if images of the remotest parts of the globe reach us at all times of day and night, if more of us travel between civilaztions than ever before. This is the paradox of a globalized twenty-first century."

In this book, Hobsbawm does a pretty good job of fleshing out general trends (like the decline of the nation-state, the rise of private rogue armies, the burgeoning service economy) and placing these within his now standard historical framework; but the book is lacking in many respects. Most notably, the he completely downplays or ignores the current eco-crisis. He never mentions how one in four Americans will now get cancer; how DDT and PCBs and other unhealthy toxic chemicals continue to pollute our soil, water and bodies; or how genetically-modified foods and organisms (GMO), bovine growth hormones (rBGH), and a wide variety of hormone disrupters are being surrepticiously placed into American food and household products, thereby making all Americans de facto guneia pigs. Furthermore, he doesn't even mention the intellectual property rights issue, which is perhaps the most important issue of our time! See Vanda Shiva's "Stolen Harvest" for a quick primer.

Nor does this book make any solid attempt to link the colonial and imperialistic history of the Third World with the contemporary situation, although obviously Hobsbawm has a firm understanding of the historical processes of Imperialism and Colonialism (see his three-part history serious). Today, although colonialism and Empire have officially ended, Third World markets remain subjugated to their former colonial and imperial overlords. The masters of old continue to rob these regions of primary resources to be used in Northern industries, and they continue to imports large-scale cash crops from these regions at the expense of local, traditional crops, biodiversity and food security. This has huge effects on the local food and job market. The results are often broad-based poverty and hunger, as can been seen in Brazil and Bangladesh -- two big food exporters.

The economic North has also increasingly set out to export menial labor to Third World these days, which has an equally devistating effects on local life, albeit it in different and multifarious ways. The exportation of labor also hollows out production and jobs in the home economy as well, leading to what has now been called the "Third-Worldization" of the North. Hobsbawm gives some analysis of multinational corporations and their effects on global labor and environmental issues, but it seems very topographical, like the rest of the book. After finishing, I felt let down. A lot more could have been accomplished with this subject in my opinion.

An old leftist's (valuable) reflections.......2001-11-30

At the end of the 70's Mr Hobsbawm with a famous essay "The Forward Search of Labour Halted"in which he criticized the complacency of the labour class and his own Communist Party. . Mr Hobsbawm indicated that the working class had been betrayed by its own success. In this volume, his views are yet gloomier and notes that as the Soviet Union has collapsed the impetus for collective action has waned and "private and selfish interests seriously erode left-wing values". Modern day lefyist governments (such as Britain's Labour) efforts at redistribution are weak and the only real criticism of capitalism is voiced (unfortunately) by the very ant-communist Pope John Paul II ! Hobsbawm's reflections are the result of sevral interviews with Antonio Polito, the London correspondent of La Repubbilica, perhaps the (and left oriented) Italian daily newspaper.
As someone who wishes that more intelligent and authoritative figures criticized the excesses of capitalism I found this volume very refreshing. Espaecially as it avoided environmental and multiculturalism fantasies most commonly asociated with the modern left and re-opened a more economically focused discussion.

A great (and quick) read!.......2000-07-27

This is certainly a must-read for anyone interested in globalization, anxious about recent world trends, or who wants some inkling of where the 21st century will take us. Hobsbawm's analysis is consistently excellent.

Required reading for all health care participants........1999-09-11

I enjoyed the authors attempt to predict the future of health care which is unpredictable and which is provoking considerable anxiety in the medical field. While I'm not sure I agree with all the author's points, he presents interesting arguments supporting his forecasts. I shared this book with my colleagues, and they not only enjoyed it, but were willing to discuss many aspects of the book. The book does ignore the balance budget act, and doesn't address differences in regional variation in health care. I intend to read it again as soon as I get my copy back. This book can make a strong impression on its readers, especially physician readers, and it can provoke long conversations.

Interesting observations on industry directions........1999-02-03

This book has thought-provoking comments on the future configuration and incentives in the industry. Klenke is a clear beleiver in Star's 80's observations, but so are many who are watching his predictions come true.

The book drags at times but, overall, a must read!

Exceptional perspective about health care industrialization........1998-06-17

This is a well thought out viewpoint about one of the last to be industrialized market sectors. It provides new and provocative viewpoints about an industry which is full of growth, alive with change but smitten with anguish as it touches nearly all humans in very personal ways; all around the world. Bleeding Edge is also a business book, with current and timely information about some of the most dramatic changes in health care since '95. The book is not a history of health care, thank goodness, it is a view into and reasoning for, the continued revolution of the health care sector. This book is a "must read" for everyone doing business in health care as either a provider or supplier. Many lessons to be learned from this piece and an easy read chocked full of bits and pieces of data and sound bites for forward thinkers. Well worth the investment!

A dozen original works by 12 Northwest writers are assembled in this handsomely illustrated anthology. Novelist Tom Robbins proclaims his unabashed love for the region, noting "I'm here for mushrooms that broadcast on transcendental frequencies." Native American writer Sherman Alexie describes his difficult early life in Spokane, and novelist and nature writer Brenda Peterson writes movingly of a mother beluga whale.

Book Description

When twelve writers from Washington and Oregon were asked to write about their relationship to the place they call home, the responses were as diverse and rich as the region itself. Gathered here are original works from essayists, poets and novelists who are both natives and newcomers to the northwest edge of America.

The first 5 star rating I have given...........2006-02-14

"edge walking on the western rim" is a complilation of essays from 12 different poets and novelists who have had their lives influenced in some way by living in the american Pacific Northwest (Idaho, Washington, Oregon.) These authors are: Sherman Alexie, Sharon Doubiago, David James Duncan, Sam Hamill, Lawson Fusao Inada, Colleen J. McElroy, Brenda Peterson, Johnathan Raban, Tom Robbins, charlotte Watson Sherman, Tom Spanbauer and William Stafford.

Why did I love this book enough to give it my highest rating? Maybe because I, like many of the authors, am new to the Pacific Northwest and it is comforting to know I am not alone in wondering about this place's people, landscape and even weather. I also love autobiographies, they are quite possible it is my favorite genre.

While not all the authors use a style I particularily like, the essays are short enough that they do not get boring. Each section ends in a small biography about the author. The book also introduces me to writers that I might not nessissarily pick up books by on my own and whom I have found I really enjoy. The first coming to mind are Colleen J. McElroy, who like me moved from the east coast to the west coast and has travelled the world, again, like myself and Jonathan Raban, also a transplant, but this time from Europe.

"edge walking on the western rim" is a book full of beautiful, laughter, sadness and love. It covers the spectrum of human emotions through the eyes of 12 people in one small area of the world. It makes me reflect on the past and future. I believe Colleen J. McElroy said it well with:

"I have gone to the ocean just to listen to the heartbeat of the sea. It is a constant pulse that seems to draw me to it - a bridge between where I am and what I remember - and like the weather, it can dominate my moods and, inexplicably, my memory."

Book Description

Mobsters. Big hair. The smelly Turnpike. The poor cousin of its glittering neighbor Manhattan. Could that really be all there is to New Jersey? In Living on the Edge of the World, the best and brightest young writers from the much maligned state answer back with edgy, irreverent pieces of nonfiction paying tribute to New Jersey's unique place in the cultural consciousness.

Like a drive along the Garden State Parkway, their stories travel to just about every corner of the state, from Princeton and Hillside to Camden and Hoboken. In "Straight Outta Garwood," Tom Perrotta writes of the near inescapability of returning to his home state again and again in his novels; in "Exit 15W," Joshua Braff tells how all roads led back to the Jersey Girl he'd fallen for as a seventh-grader; Kathleen DeMarco takes a nostalgic look at her grandfather's cranberry bog in "The Family Farm"; Jonathan Ames recounts a failed attempt to consummate his flirtation with a boardwalk beauty in "Rose of the Jersey Shore"; and Frederick Reiken offers an elegy to a high-rise in Fort Lee that opens his eyes to a new, dangerous world.

A celebration of all that's weird and wonderful about the Garden State -- including Bruce Springsteen, the Nets, the Jersey Devil, the films of Kevin Smith, and Great Adventure -- Living on the Edge of the World will have New Jerseyans everywhere ready to stand and be counted.

Book Description

Edges of Empire focuses on the intersection between modernization, modernism, and Orientalism. It is a timely reassessment of the history and legacy of Orientalist art and visual culture. The essays in this volume explore the connections and cross-fertilizations that occur across cultural boundaries via the analysis of Ottoman and North African art practices, as well as the visual culture of European Orientalism. Contested identities and new definitions of self are highlighted in relation to topics as diverse as nineteenth-century monuments to empire, cultural cross-dressing, performance and display at the international exhibitions, and contemporary museological practice. This is a groundbreaking anthology that will be of great interest to scholars and students of art history, architecture, museum studies, and cultural and postcolonial studies.

Book Description

"If you live here by choice," Willem Lange writes of the northern New England he's called home for half a century, "you pay your dues, take what you can get, and endure what you have to. It's well worth it." These reminiscences, character sketches, and sometimes heart-rending accounts of life among the ubiquitous pines and unyielding granite shows a deep reverence and an abiding respect for this unique corner of the world.

We meet, for example, Baddy, the crusty timber camp cook whose love of hunting ends the day he witnesses the needless death of a fawn. We experience rites of passage: an old man determined to spend one last night alone in the deep woods; a young man discovering for the first time the indelible beauty of a northern September morning; and Lange's own realization that, "for the first time, I'll be the oldest man in camp, and my son will be carrying most of my pack."

Do Yourself a Favor.......2005-11-28

This book contains one of the all time greatest Christmas stories--Favor Johnson. Reading this story is a family tradition in our home. For this alone you should buy this book. We first came into contact with Willem Lange listening to him read his stories on Vermont Public Radio back in the 1990s and have been hooked ever since.

Clear as the New England sky; Crisp as a fall day.......2001-10-12

I first became acquainted with the work of essayist Willem Lange through his appearances on the Vermont Public Television program "RFD," which normally ends its weekly broadcast with a piece by this wordsmith. The essays in this charming little book are culled from other writings and are perfect examples of Mr. Lange's style. With a minimum of very well chosen words, Mr. Lange paints a detailed picture of people, places, and events and wraps us in his love for all. There are some very heart-felt expressions here: A Letter to a newborn grandchild; A sudden understanding of his wife's life-long torment; An appreciation of past leadership provided by a mentor. In all, there are 18 tiny gems here, none longer than four pages, but the scope of their sentiment is unending. This is a book to treasure and read over and over again. If only it were longer.

Mr. Lange writes stories from the heart........2000-08-16

Mr. Lange's stories of life in New England awake memories of the reader's own experiences that transcend any geographical boundaries. In this collection of essays, Willem Lange celebrates the experiences of everyday life in New England with humor and honesty that connects with readers in every corner of the land.

Mr. Lange portrays the atmosphere of New England.......1999-04-15

This thin book delivers powerful images of how New England was and strives to remain. Short essays cover typical events and personalities, most often humorous, always interesting. A great way to discover why we think there's no other place to live.

Great reference, newest information.......2002-02-05

This book is a must for any pet owner. I have an extensive collection of pet health books, and most of them do not contain the new, state-of-the-art medical and technological options that this one does. In addition to the newest information available, the book is inspiring for any pet owner facing illness, as various treatment options are easily explained in detail. It is also a terrific book to review before a veterinary visit so appropriate issues and questions can be addressed.
