Book Description
Discover the secrets of written persuasion!
"The principles of hypnosis, when applied to copywriting, add a new spin to selling. Joe Vitale has taken hypnotic words to set the perfect sales environment and then shows us how to use those words to motivate a prospect to take the action you want. This is truly a new and effective approach to copywriting, which I strongly recommend you learn. It's pure genius."
-Joseph Sugarman, author of Triggers
"I've read countless book on persuasion, but none come close to this one in showing you exactly how to put your readers into a buying trance that makes whatever you are offering them irresistible."
-David Garfinkel, author of Advertising Headlines That Make You Rich
"I am a huge fan of Vitale and his books, and Hypnotic Writing (first published more than twenty years ago), is my absolute favorite. Updated with additional text and fresh examples, especially from e-mail writing, Joe's specialty, Hypnotic Writing is the most important book on copywriting (yes, that's really what it is about) to be published in this century. Read it. It will make you a better copywriter, period."
-Bob Bly, copywriter and author of The Copywriter's Handbook
"I couldn't put this book down. It's eye opening and filled with genuinely new stuff about writing and persuading better. And it communicates it brilliantly and teaches it brilliantly-exemplifying the techniques by the writing of the book itself as you go along."
-David Deutsch, author of Think Inside the Box, www.thinkinginside.com
"Hypnotic Writing is packed with so much great information it's hard to know where to start. The insights, strategies, and tactics in the book are easy to apply yet deliver one heck of a punch. And in case there's any question how to apply them, the before-and-after case studies drive the points home like nothing else can. Hypnotic Writing is not just about hypnotic writing. It is hypnotic writing. On the count of three, you're going to love it. Just watch and see."
-Blair Warren, author of The Forbidden Keys to Persuasion

Book Description
Gems of wisdom about golf and life—and a spirited call for a return to the gameÂ's core values—from one of the gameÂ's most respected elder statesmen and former champions
Legendary player and teacher Jackie Burke is the preeminent elder statesman of American golf. A PGA Champion, a Masters Champion, a Vardon Trophy winner, and a PGA Player of the Year, he won four consecutive tournaments in 1952; and is a winner of seventeen events on the PGA Tour, a five-time Ryder Cup member (twice as captain), and a member of the PGA, Texas Golf, and World Golf Halls of Fame. Before leaving the PGA Tour he cofounded (with Jimmy Demaret) the world-famous Champions Golf Club (host of the Ryder Cup, U.S. Amateur, and five PGA Tour Championships) and has instructed students including Phil Mickelson, Hal Sutton, Steve Elkington, Ben Crenshaw, and many other PGA Tour pros in a career that has spanned seven decades.
Reverberating with the straight-talking Texas wisdom that could only come from Jackie Burke, ItÂ's Only a Game will bring the words of this venerable sage to everyone who loves the links. Spiced with anecdotes from a long and illustrious career, this stirring book features pithy insights on the nature of competition and the erosion of amateur play. Burke goes on the record about profit-minded equipment manufacturers and self-promoting golf gurus. His provocative topics include insight into why the 2004 U.S. Ryder Cup team suffered its worst defeat ever (Burke was a cocaptain), the alarmingly high cost of playing public and resort courses, country clubs that stress cosmetic appearances over the playing of the game, and a host of other topics. He also provides no-nonsense, time-tested secrets for improving anyoneÂ's golf game, based not on shallow “tips” but on a well-rounded, sensible approach to the game that he began developing before the Great Depression.
Acclaim for ItÂ's Only a Game:
“Easily the best golf instructional-type book since Harvey PenickÂ's Little Red Book. . . . This book is a classic.”
—Bud Shrake, coauthor Harvey PenickÂ's Little Red Book “Jackie is a warrior. He is a born competitor who meets every challenge head on, on and off the golf course. His values and integrity are unassailable, as pure as those of any man I've known.”
—Ben Crenshaw
“This book is pure Jackie, and I hope that from reading it you get some of the fulfillment and enjoyment heÂ's given to me and others over the years.”
—Steve Elkington
Customer Reviews:
Pure Jackie..........2007-06-01
Now I am going to be somewhat bias in my review simply because I know Mr. Burke and his family from my years as a cart boy at Champions during the mid-80s'.
I would, and have, recommended this book to my friends who golf and my non-golf friends.
One of my favorite parts in the book is when he talks about being an Assistant Captain on the Ryder Cup Team with Chris Riley.
A must read for the true golfer.......2007-04-19
The title of can be a bit misleading but not in the way one might assume. The title seems to convey the diea that Burke doesn't take golf as seriously as others; the exact opposite is true. He views the game through a different viewpoint where instead of the game being involved within every aspect of your life, life is involved throughout the game of golf. He at the same time views golf not as a game to be taken lightly but instead one that falls back on the basic human instincts of competition. I've had the personal luxury of growing up and maturing as a golfer at the club he and Jimmy Demaret founded, Champions Golf Club, and because of Jack Burke I see the game differently from my peers. This book comes as close as possible to discovering who he is and the way he believes the game of golf should be played. He hasn't been caught up by who he is and what he has accomplished; he instead continues to try to teach others what golf is, what it used to be, and what it should continue to be.
Review of "It's Only a Game".......2007-03-25
Great book, full of the wit and wisdom of Jackie Burke. Fun to read and a combination of personal reflections, advice and a few tips along the way.
Burke Fan Club.......2007-01-11
Jackie Burke is a breath of fresh air amidst the hype of modern golf writing. His clear and concise commentary on all aspects of the game leaves little to conjecture. A great read...
A definite pleaser for any golf fan!!.......2007-01-05
When growing up, you always need an older mentor. Mr. Burke has been just that to Steve Elkington and Hal Sutton and shares alot of the wisdom he gave to them for the price of a book! I highly recommend getting this as it will really shape you as a player and in alot of other ways as well.

Book Description
When is rape not a crime? When it's pornography--or so First Amendment law seems to say: in film, a rape becomes "free speech." Pornography, Catharine MacKinnon contends, is neither speech nor free. Pornography, racial and sexual harassment, and hate speech are acts of intimidation, subordination, terrorism, and discrimination, and should be legally treated as such. Only Words is a powerful indictment of a legal system at odds with itself, its First Amendment promoting the very inequalities its Fourteenth Amendment is supposed to end. In the bold and compelling style that has made her one of our most provocative legal critics, MacKinnon depicts a society caught in a vicious hypocrisy. Words that offer bribes or fix prices or segregate facilities are treated by law as acts, but words and pictures that victimize and target on the basis of race and sex are not. Pornography--an act of sexual domination reproduced in the viewing--is protected by law in the name of "the free and open exchange of ideas." But the proper concern of law, MacKinnon says, is not what speech says, but what it does. What the "speech" of pornography and of racial and sexual harassment and hate propaganda does is promote and enact the power of one social group over another. Cutting with surgical deftness through cases of harassment in the workplace and on college campuses, through First Amendment cases involving Nazis, Klansmen, and pornographers, MacKinnon shows that as long as discriminatory practices are protected as free speech, equality will be only a word.
Customer Reviews:
Believe the people who review this book as unsound .......2007-07-12
Read those other reviews first. MacKinnon does indeed address a great deal of legal precedent but does not make meaningful interpretations of any of the data: sometimes it's as if she's citing the existence of the moon to infer that the sun should rise.
One thing to add is that MacKinnon never mentions the important differences between images and words where pornography is concerned. This is somewhat astonishing, given the title, but less astonishing given the underthought quality of the book and its guiding concepts as a whole. Passionate defense of women's rights can be important, but invoking righteous hysteria by strongly misdescribing facts is a misguided tactic toward that end.
Not MacKinnon's Strongest, But Worth the Read.......2006-01-20
This is not a book about censorship, but rather a book about human rights, especially rights for those who have never really had them. It is a short read, and it is clear and to the point. If you have read Women's Lives Under Men's Laws, you probably don't need to read this book, as most of the information is equivalent; however, there are a few new facts.
[...] Personally, I appreciate MacKinnon's use of emotion. It makes her appear all the more real. Anyone who is at all interested in the pornography "debate" should check out this little read, but a better viewing of MacKinnon's work, please purchase Towards a Feminist Theory of the State or Women's Lives Under Men's Laws.
Worthless.......2005-05-16
I bought this book because I was intrigued by the title. I expected a book that considered words used with criminal intent, in general.
I am disappointed that pornography is the only crime considered here. I wish the author had examined other kinds of cases--not to mention many many more specific examples. There is probably a wealth of legal material on such crimes, if only the author had broadened her horizons.
While I agree that pornography can be a crime, I find the author's arguments used to ban it fundamentally flawed. As other reviewers have noted, this book is argued poorly, uses a shoddy set of examples, and definitely runs afoul of logic.
Had I been interested in an anti-pornography book, I would have preferred one showing practical means to legally limit its damage.
This book does not argue cogently that the first and 14th amendments are NOT considered equally in cases of criminal use of words.
Neither does it effectively show that words can be criminal, or suggest means to prosecute such crimes. A pity.
--Alyssa A. Lappen
115 pages of brilliant analysis.......2004-09-16
For so few words, MacKinnon really covers a tremendous amount of legal history, free speech precendent and experiential examples. The power of words is detailed better than a linguist could have done it, and the legal framework she argues from is backed up by citing real-world cases.
As i read I found myself shaking my head in agreement because she states her theories extraordinarily well and grounds them in truths most readers will be familiar with and able to recognize. Like a sign saying "Whites Only" is not considered "free speech" but is considered in itself an act of discrimination, breaking through the porn fundamentalist's tired excuse of "it's only words/images". Words have the power to promote prejudice, and in the modern technological age these words are a terrific force indeed.
Words and images contain real social content that can be really damaging to the humanity of certain classes of people when those with more power promote hate speech through them. That the legal system is set up by men for men's benefit comes across clearly with the history of rape law MacKinnon provides.
Isn't it odd that some people keep insisting snuff films don't exist without suggesting why men who videotape themselves raping women, killing animals, destroying property, etc. wouldn't videotape this crime as well? There are several court cases around the US where men have been convicted of murdering women and the videotapes they made doing it were entered as evidence at their trials. I've heard no cogent argument as to how, especially after Abu Ghraib, anyone could believe people really wouldn't do and record the horrors they visit on others.
This book is ahead of its time and should be considered must-read material for all lawyers and gender equity activists.
lunatics like this are few and far between..........2004-07-26
A joy to read. One is left wondering how a mind can get this obsessively warped. Mentions "snuff" porn on nearly every page - despite the fact that in over 30 years the FBI and other law enforcement agencies have never found a single shred of evidence. The only disturbing thing is that she actually has a doctorate - so much for university standards of integrity...
Product Description
An attorney argues the inspired New Testament consists of Jesus' words only. Paul's status is questioned. First, Paul never made a valid prophecy. Second, Paul must be rejected under Deut. 13:5 because he taught the Law of Moses was nullified. Lastly, Jesus most likely intended we understand Paul was the person in Rev. 2:2 whom the Ephesians put on trial and proved was a false apostle. This Ephesus trial is alluded to in Acts ch. 19. Paul refers to it several times as well.
Customer Reviews:
PAUL - Faith without works? Hardly!!!.......2007-02-20
I have mixed feelings about this book. It makes a number of outstanding points but it has the wrong man on trial. I thoroughly agree that Christianity was corrupted by the doctrines of original sin, predestination, dispensationalism, and faith over works which are a result of Paul's writings being taken out of context and elevated over the Gospels. The real culprits were Augustine, Luther and Calvin, not Paul. The author does a good job in explaining how the earliest Christians and the Eastern Orthodox faith (I would include the Waldenses and Anabaptists) had a more balanced approach by subjugating what Paul wrote to a secondary status to what Jesus taught in the Gospels, even though they still revere him as a saint and read his epistles in their liturgy. I also commend the author for acknowledging Paul's initial revelations and his suffering and martyrdom as legitimate.
However, there are a number of false charges in this book and Prosecutor Del Tondo has called witnesses to the stand who completely contradict his own star witnesses - the Gospels. A good defense attorney would rip this case to shreds.
In chapter 12, Del Tondo's case completely unravels when he brings Robert Eisenman and the sectarian writings of the Dead Sea Scrolls to the witness stand. Del Tondo has obviously not read Eisenman's latest book in which he claims that the Scrolls tell the real story of the "Jamesian" Jewish resistance movement, the Gospels were a derogatory parody of the Scrolls, and that the "Jesus" of the Gospels was a Hellenistic god-man created by pro-Roman gentiles to undermine Judaism. In order to believe this, you have to completely trash Christianity, which Eisenman has done. At least in that respect, he's consistent. Calling Eisenman to the witness stand is like the prosecutor of a homicide case calling a witness to the stand who doesn't even believe the victims, (Jesus' words) were alive to begin with! YOU CAN'T BELIEVE ROBERT EISENMAN AND THEN QUOTE THE GOSPELS!!!
Carbon dating aside, you cannot connect the Jesus of the Gospels with the sectarian writings of the Dead Sea Scrolls which teach: absolute predestination of damnation for anyone outside the community; the prohibition of spreading knowledge outside the community; a contempt for ritually "unclean" persons (ie the lame and blind) who are not to have contact with the community; the prohibition of saving a man who falls into water or a cistern with a tool or ladder on the Sabbath; a vitriolic
hatred of surrounding gentile nations which are to be slaughtered and plundered. These writings could not have inspired the Jesus of the Gospels who preached in public, told his followers to make disciples of all nations, reached out and touched "unclean" persons, and healed a man on the Sabbath. The Sermon on the Mount is diametrically opposed to The War Scroll which reads like a manifesto for the Taliban. SO WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE IN PROSECUTOR DEL TONDO, THE GOSPELS OR THE SCROLLS?!!!
The Pseudoclementine writings are another bogus witness against Paul. These writings date no earlier than the second century and are in some respects more anti-Semitic than what Paul wrote. They show a contempt for the Temple and the sacrificial laws which they felt were added to a falsified Torah. These ideas are reflected in Stephen's speech in Acts 7, and the quotations of the Gospel of the Ebionites. The second century Ebionites probably descended from the so-called Hellenist faction which Paul drove out of Jerusalem which explains their polemic against him. They could not have been the direct heirs of James and the Apostles who continued to worship in the Temple. Eusebius spoke highly of James and the Jerusalem Church. He only condemned the second century "Ebionites" who were Jewish heretics as well.
Del Tondo charges Paul with advocating fornication in 1Cor. 7:15 in which he merely says if an unbelieving spouse chooses to leave, just let them go (in order to avoid strife). He makes the same charge in Gal. 5:21 when Paul uses the word "practice" fornication. Del Tondo implies that Paul allowed occasional fornication. Both of these charges are ridiculous and would be thrown out in any serious court of law. THIS IS A KANGAROO COURT!!!
We also have to throw out the charge that Paul was mentioned as advocating fornication in Revelation 2:14 which talks about those who follow the teachings of the original Balaam, not Paul!
Another bogus charge claims Paul advocated vexing the poor by making them work in 2Thess. 3:10. If you read the preceding four verses, Paul is talking about freeloading missionaries who are a burden to the community. The same admonition is given in the Didache which many believe to be an early Jewish Christian writing. In Ephesians 4:28, Paul tells people to work with their hands in order to help the needy. Paul's collecting tithes for the poor Saints in Jerusalem is more than enough proof that this is a ridiculous charge.
Romans chapter 8 is the heart and soul of Paul's teaching. There is no condemnation for those who walk in the spirit. Paul is merely saying that one cannot truly fulfill the law unless they are guided by the spirit. HOW IS THAT FAITH WITHOUT WORKS?!!!
Paul contradicts himself and can be very caustic and ornery. His writings should not take precedence over the Gospels. However, his actions speak louder than words. Paul's public beatings and floggings would be scandalous if he were some kind of Roman agent, an accusation Eisenman has suggested. Paul couldn't have made that up.
The only people who truly understood Paul were the early Christian martyrs like Ignatius of Antioch who committed the ultimate act of obedience to Jesus in taking up the cross - as Paul did. Paul wrote about the glory of suffering and dying like Christ. Paul wasn't writing to the Luthers, the Calvins, or the Billy Grahams for that matter. He was writing for the martyrs and catacomb Christians and set an example with his own suffering and martyrdom.
PLEASE,TELL ME!!! WHAT WERE PAUL'S HARDSHIPS, SUFFERINGS, AND MARTYRDOM BUT WORKS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS AND THE ULTIMATE ACT OF FAITHFUL OBEDIENCE TO THE WORDS OF JESUS?!!!
FAITH WITHOUT WORKS? HARDLY!!!
Truth is SHOCKING sometimes!.......2007-01-04
Very Compelling evidence against the False Apostle Paul A must read for TRUTH SEEKERS!
An indictment of Pauline Dispensationalism.......2006-12-23
This book is an outstanding addition to the growing awareness among scholars and historians that there is something fundamentally wrong with the doctrine of the self-professed apostle Paul as it relates to other New Testament and Old Testament doctrine. Mr. Del Tondo's trenchant analysis of Paul's incompatibility with the teachings of Jesus also exposes dispensationalist doctrine as the fraud it truly is when it futilely and superficially attempts to overcome the contradictions between Jesus and Paul by assigning each doctrine to a separate and compartmentalized "church age" or "dispensation".
Listen! Can you hear the cacophonous gnashing of teeth in the cemeteries (uh, excuse me, "seminaries")?.......2006-09-24
Regardless of HOW the letters of the ravening Benjamite wolf came to be incorporated between covers of The Book, choose this day whom you will believe; the Spouter of Lies, or the Great King, Yahshua ha Mashiach! Because the words of the one do NOT agree with the Words of the Other. YAHSHUA'S WORDS ONLY!!!
For those who love Yahweh.......2006-05-22
A classic! A most enlightening, comprehensive, educative, courageous and brilliant book! It not only exposes the falsity of Paul as an apostle of Yah'shuah, but teaches on a whole host of fundamental principles with respect to following Yahweh and only Yahweh's words (Matthew 4:4). This great work should strengthen weak followers of Yah'shuah, including even those who do not consider themselves weak followers of Yah'shuah. Once again - a classic!

For Every Girl.......2005-03-15
When it is good (and beautifully written) advice is something you can never get enough of, and For Girls Only is proof. Weston combines her own always-accurate, thoughtful, and humorous words of wisdom with those of famous writers, philosophers, entertainers, politicians, and more. The result is a book which page by page offers truly inspiring quotes and passages to comfort any girl, at any stage of life.
For Girls Only Review!.......2005-03-06
I just finished reading this awesome book a few days ago, and immmediately sent the author a thank you email for what a great job she did! Not only did she do a great job of incorportating quotes from men and women, old and young, past and present, and all religions, but I came away feeling inspired and ready to take on the world! A perfect book for any girl!
Better than therapy!!!.......2004-10-13
Whenever I need inspiration or encouragement or a peptalk or just some sensible advice, I open this book to any page, read for a few minutes, and feel lighter and better. GREAT FOR ANY AGE!!! GET A COPY! You'll be glad you did!!!
Not Just Any Quote Book! THIS ONE IS AMAZING!.......2004-08-16
I confess, I like quote books. I even have my own blank book that I've filled with quotes over the years. Well, FOR GIRLS ONLY is like a gold mine!!! I'm not kidding, it has around 500 GREAT quotes that aren't the usual ones we've all already heard. I don't know where Carol Weston gets them, but she has great quotes from poets, singers, celebs, and some people that I thought I alone had discovered. It's just a great mix. I always liked her "Dear Carol" column in Girls Life, so I like having all her own advice under each quote. I mean, I grew up reading her novels and column, so I trust her. I read one page of FOR GIRLS ONLY every morning and I also go to it whenever I get mad or depressed or whatever. It gets me in a better mood because it gives me a new way to look at things. I gave this book to everyone who came to my last birthday party and it got us into some really good conversations. I recommend GIRLTALK too, but since I'm into quotes, I wanted to review this one. Get For Girls Only! You'll be glad you did!!!
TOTALLY INSPIRING!!!.......2004-08-06
I love how this book is full of excellent advice that I can read whenever I'm feeling confused or depressed. I am a big fan of Carol Weston's "Dear Carol" column in Girls' Life magazine (and also of her novels) so it's really cool to have her best advice in one book. She also quotes a ton of my favorite musicians, actors, and other writers. Basically, thanks to FOR GIRLS ONLY, even if I've already talked to my mom and best friend about a problem, I still have another place to go for good advice or just to get me motivated to get my work done or try to meet new people or whatever. FOR GIRLS ONLY is FOR YOU!!!
Book Description
Both a novel and a letter from a husband to his wife, Only Say the Word is a haunting, intimate testament to the enduring nature of love.Jim Foley loves his parents, his brother, his sister, Dickens and God, although not necessarily in that order. Later, he loves Kate, enough to make her his wife; later still, he loves his children, Jack and Hannah. This is Jim's story, from early days spent in County Clare to early adulthood in America, and back to Clare again. Tracing his journey from child, to husband to father, from happy-ever-after to death-do-us-part, from beginnings to endingsand from there to starting afresh once moreit tells of the people and places in Jims life, his hopes, fears and fantasies, his ever-evolving relationships and the books that remain always constant. Deeply-felt, beautifully-told, and written in Niall William's lyrical, lilting prose, Only Say the Word offers both acceptance of the past and hope for the future.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO THOSE SEEKING THE DEEPER LIFE..........2003-07-14
Martha Kilpatrick is one of the best Bible teachers and
authors to be found any where who touches on the prophetic
and the deeper Christian life. This book, plus her two others:
CHARIOT OF FIRE, and ADORATION, are truly inspired and
inspiring. If you have a heart after truth and RIGHT
RELATIONSHIP with the living GOD found, ultimately, in
the Person and redemptive work of Jesus, - then this book
is for you.
This is a book for the heart and for your devotional time.
Read it with a deep sense of humility and soar closer to The Master of all
masters: The Lord Jesus Christ, - The King and LORD of Wisdom and Love!
IT DESERVES TEN STARS!!!.......2003-01-17
At first glance, this book appeared "fluffed," (not many words per page) and I was afraid I hadn't gotten my money's worth. NOTHING COULD BE FARTHER FROM THE TRUTH. She says more in a couple of hundred words per Bible character than most of the sermons I have heard on them, all put together. She proves to us from these great Bible stories WHO GOD IS, and gives us that Mighty Rock to stand upon as the foundation and structure of our faith, rather than the common contemporary way: shouting at the devil and circumstances in order to change anything we don't happen to like. If you hunger as I do to get back to the REAL kind of faith that produced men like Daniel, Job, and David, please, please get this book.
Finally!! - REAL FOOD.
WOW, this is not your average book!.......1999-11-25
I have been amazed as the Biblical characters described in this book, have had the secret marrow of their lives broken open for my edification. I have walked with them in a new light. To see them express the same feelings and emotions residing in me, and teach me the pitfalls and rewards. It has caused me to focus on my hidden motives and secret thoughts. This book is fresh. Allowing the distance to be bridged, which is sometimes between a character on the page and my living relevance. I highly recommend this book.
