5 out of 5 stars Really helpful text!.......2007-06-27

After attending a course on peels, I still had numerous questions. This text has been a big help. And, I haven't even seen the video part yet. I am an OB/Gyn and really enjoy doing these peels; this text gave me more confidence.

      I had read this book 3 years ago. And then Ilost it after that so I have been looking for this manual for reviewing chemical peel. Actually I meet this book on the desk of my senior. I read a part of Jessner's peel in this book. I can remember that peel from Manual of chemical peel. That book demonstrates various peelings simply, accurately, and easily. It is good book

      I just got this book a few days ago, and have been reading it in my spare time, but already I've organized the office, my daughter's closet, and the kitchen cupboards with Kathy Peel's advice. This book not only gives great tips and advice, but gets you motivated to keep a clean, organized and orderly home. I'm only in the 4th or 5th chapter so far, and have gotten so many great ideas for keeping a more smooth-running home. My husband has really enjoyed coming home every day to a more organized, neater home. Our biggest problem is clutter, and she gives great advice for getting rid of clutter and controlling the influx. We have a lot to do yet, but I'm excited to take back our home with Kathy Peel's helpful instructions.

      5 out of 5 stars A must for new brides!.......2007-04-10

      I have been a housewife for 17 years and I still learned a lot of great time saving tips from this book. This is definately the kind fo book you have to buy, not borrow, so you can hilight and tag pages that jump out at you. It has columns for notes, budgets, etc. This is an absolutely perfect book for a shower gift or anniversary gift for a new bride--I am excited to give a copy to my daughters when they leave home.

      5 out of 5 stars not the typical organizing book.......2007-02-11

      A lot of organizing books repeat the same old principles. Kathy's book applies an entirely different creed! Family managers become CEOs of the family which gives us a whole different perspective and value system. I highly recommend this book. Even after you get the concept down, there is a lot of information in the book you will want to have on the shelf as a reference.

      4 out of 5 stars Very basic.......2007-01-06

      Walks you thru the very basics to start each project. Simple and easy to do.

      4 out of 5 stars Helpful for clueless.......2007-01-04

      It is worth the price if you are really clueless and need a guide to taking care of the house. I have always wanted to stay home with my kids and have always had visions of a happy clean home, and then reality hits and it is not that easy. [...]

        5 out of 5 stars A Biblical View of Evangelism.......2005-01-29

        I will not attempt a thorough review of the book. Here are a couple posts from my blog that I put up as our elder team was going through it:

        First post: We are concerned for a greater external focus in our congregation. The chapter we read last pm is entitled: "Earning the Right to be Heard." Whereas many evangelistic texts or theories begin with an evaluation of the target audience, the authors are quite clear that evangelism begins with a change in our hearts. Since this book is focused on being a spiritual influence at work, the emphasis is on the kind of person we are at work. The author(s) note:

        "Will rational arguments pacify negative emotions? Will preaching biblical exposition reduce anger or bitterness? Will persuasion penetrate a hard heart? Perhaps, but not as often as you may wish. However, a nonmanipulative relationship with you--where a non-Christian respects you and experiences love and acceptance--can plow thorugh even the hardest soil. The groundwork for this day-to-day ministry in the workplace always starts with the condition of our own hearts--not the hearts of our coworkers."

        This chapter emphasizes five areas that require our utmost attention if we are going to build a trusting relationship in which we have the right to be heard:

        1. competence: the pursuit of excellence in one's daily work
        2. character: even if people hate what we believe, they will be attracted by Christ's character in us
        3. consideration: how we treat people--authentic communication (free from gossip and criticism), careful listening that seeks understanding, and a life that exhibits grace
        4. communication: wisely speaking the gospel to ready hearts, not ambushing the disinterested. Share your faith when it 1) arises out of relationships naturally built around your work with another person, 2) naturally fits into the topic of conversation, and 3) when you are asked
        5. courage: "The desire for safety stands against every great and noble endeavor" (Tacitus)

        Easily read, harder to live. Get a copy and read along.

        Second post: Last night our elder team completed the fifth chapter in "Going Public with Your Faith" by Peel and Larimore (Zondervan, 2003). The chapter, entitled "Keep it Simple," emphasizes engaging in common courtesy in the work place versus adopting techniques and strategies in order to share one's faith.

        The authors point out that scripture commands us "to be a witness," not to engage in "witnessing." The first viewpoint implies the results are up to God (we live the faith), the second that results are up to us (we try to convince others). The text quotes John Fischer (Fearless Faith): "When witnessing is a verb, it becomes something we do or don't do. We turn it on or we turn it off. It becomes a segment of the spiritual compartment of our lives, as in prayer, Bible study, going to church, and witnessing--a very small segment. It's something we are supposed to go out and do, and poor, unsuspecting non-Christians often have to bear the brunt of our spiritual obligation."

        I came away with a couple observations: 1) this is a tremendous relief for believers who think they need to engage in a "gospel sharing" conversation in order to be an effective witness; and, 2) this is an incredible call to seamless Christian living at home and work--living that is genuine, deliberate, and committed to demonstrating our faith over the long haul of relationship building.

        Here is a list of common courtesies the author's recommend:

        -remember an employee's, customer's or client's name--and their spouses too
        -remember an employee's, customer's or client's birthday or anniversary
        -sincerely listening to the response when you ask someone, "How are you?"
        -asking a fellow employee if you can get them something (coffee, etc)
        -leaving a larger-than-expected tip for the waitress who regularly serves you
        -helping a co-worker fix something at home
        -sharing your knowledge with someone who needs it
        -going out of your way to express appreciation to others
        -asking meaningful questions about things important to others and then really listening to the response

        These are small things, but they help build a relationship of trust. God may allow us to share out of that relationship our faith in Him.

        5 out of 5 stars Being an Effective Witness in the Workplace.......2005-01-03

        This is a very practical and extremely helpful book on being a witness in the workplace. Dr. Larimore is co-author of "The Saline Solution: Sharing Your Faith in Your Practice", a course that has been widely used in the medical profession to help doctors become effective witnesses in their practices.

        The authors emphasize the need to focus on being a witness and not on "witnessing", quoting John Fischer in "Fearless Faith": "Salvation is God's thing and is out of our control. Saving people is God's part, ours is being a witness." The book places a healthy emphasis on relational evangelism, because, "We believe that the bubble has burst for an aggressive, non-relational approach to evangelism."

        According to the authors, this book is based on four simple, but big, ideas:

        1. "Evangelism is a process. The journey of faith takes place over the course of time as a person makes many small, incremental decisions that lead to the big decision of trusting and following Jesus."
        2. "Our job in evangelism is to discover where God is already at work in a person's life and to join Him there, not to force a conversation or persuade someone to pray a prayer he or she may not be ready to pray."
        3. "Being a person of spiritual influence is every Christian's calling, not just the responsibility of a gifted few."
        4. "More so than the inside of a church building or a foreign mission, the workplace is the most strategic place of ministry for most Christians."

        This is a very practical and pithy book, in part because the authors give a one-sentence summary at the end of each chapter. It should prove to be of immense help to anyone who is serious about being an effective witness in the workplace. It combines many of the principles in other helpful books and tools, such as "Living Proof", "The Insider" and "Becoming a Contagious Christian" and applies them to the workplace. I can recommend it highly.

        4 out of 5 stars Going Public With Your Faith.......2004-09-07

        If you have a low view of the work environment whereby you place little value or significance on the workplace and on Christians who work there, then you need to grab a copy of Bill Peel's and Walt Larimore's book, _Going Public With Your Faith: Becoming a Spiritual Influence at Work_, a.s.a.p. This is the first book on evangelism, which I have read, that focuses specifically on Christians in the workplace. Despite the lack of exposure in this area, my Spidey senses tell me this book contains the stuff that classics are made of.

        In their book, _Going Public With Your Faith: Becoming a Spiritual Influence at Work_, Peel and Larimore restore a high view of the workplace. I emphasize the word restore, because work always used to occupy a place of importance and eternal significance. After all, long before evangelism was necessary and before the Great Commission was given, God decreed that men and women were to work (Genesis 1.28). Work and the workplace are not curses of the Fall. Not only that, at least 75% of the men and women in the Bible that Christians consider heroes worked in secular vocations (e.g. Abraham, Joseph, Daniel, Jesus; Peel and Larimore, 2003, p. 32). If this weren't persuasive enough, there is the explicit teaching of Scripture itself (e.g. Colossians 3.22-5), which ascribes dignity and respect to the workplace as a venue where Christians can do the "Lord's work" and worship God in so doing.

        Peel and Larimore explain the primary reason why many Christians hold to a low view of the workplace (cf. 2003, pp. 34-5). The culprit is the sacred-secular split, which originated in Greek philosophy and crystallized later in the heresy of Gnosticism. This dichotomy, which is alive and well in the minds of many Christians today, states that reality is divided into two worlds: God's world and the real world. The former sphere, which is spiritual, includes activities like prayer, Bible study, meditation, worship, and evangelism. The latter sphere includes activities like recreation, finances, and work - which are obviously worldly and not spiritual according to the gospel of the sacred-secular split.

        In debunking the sacred-secular split, the authors reinforce the importance of Christians in the workplace, referring to the work environment as perhaps the ripest mission field in today's culture (Peel and Larimore, 2003, p. 11). This creates a natural lead-in to the main thrust of their book, which is evangelism in the workplace.

        Peel and Larimore emphasize over and over that evangelism is not to be thought of as an event but as a process; evangelism is not so much mechanical as it is organic; evangelism is not so much about witnessing, but about being a witness; non-Christians are not projects, but persons, and so on. As is often the case in the New Testament, evangelism is analogical to a process much like the agricultural time cycle. First, there is the cultivation stage (which is the most time-consuming), then the planting stage, followed by the harvesting and reaping (multiplying) stages.

        Peel's and Larimore's book is really written around this biblical perspective to evangelism. Biblical evangelism is not about "cold-contact," or trying to start a fire in the rain. It's not about "selling Jesus" and "closing off the deal." Sadly, many Christians operate this way. Rather, evangelism is a process and the first step is cultivation. Christians must establish and develop trustful relationships with non-Christians. The emotional barriers that many non-Christians have toward Christianity must be removed. In the planting and harvesting stages, the intellectual and volitional needs of the non-Christian respectively are addressed. Finally, the reaping stage of evangelism refers to the discipleship of the new convert. Although Peel and Larimore address all four stages of evangelism, their emphasis is on the cultivation stage since this stage is underrated in most books on evangelism while the harvesting stage receives all the attention (2003, p. 154).

        In a very readable style, Peel and Larimore explain how this agricultural model of evangelism is lived out in the work place. For example, they teach the reader how to raise "faith flags" and "faith stories" among colleagues and how to be judicious when doing so. They also warn against certain approaches to evangelism, which are neither wise nor conducive to sharing the gospel naturally. Every so often, the reader is treated to a poignant real-life story illustrating these points.

        As a Christian just entering the workforce, I cannot adequately describe what a gift from God this book is. Peel and Larimore have inspired me to take a high view of the workplace to my own work environment and to be conscious of what God is doing in the lives of those around me. True evangelism requires that Christians be involved with non-Christians for the long haul. And what mission field is more conducive to that than the workplace where most Christians spend a large portion of their lives?

        If I were to collate a list of Christian books by topic, which have been most helpful to me, _Going Public With Your Faith: Becoming a Spiritual Influence at Work_, would be at the top of the evangelism category.

        5 out of 5 stars Thoughtful, gentle, respectful, effective evangelism.......2004-08-18

        Just finished my first pass and have started through again. The authors know what they are about, having trained many physicians and dentists in ethical and effective methods. This respects the rights of others to refuse, but gives them a chance to listen too. This is not cheap shot evangelism or scalp taking, it's sincere building of friendships and relationships and it's about time somebody wrote this book.

        I LOVE this book!!! It should be shared with all Christians! Thank you
        for relieving my guilt for not moving my co-workers to "ask me the right
        questions." For years I have raised faith flags and told faith stories
        but felt guilty that I couldn't seem to get to the gospel presentation
        in one-on-one situations - oh, I given the quick overview in groups but
        that hasn't borne fruit, that I have seen, anyway! Now I see that I
        have been depending on and blaming myself too much. It is in God's
        timing, not mine. I have been doing the right things. It is their
        decision to ask me more.

        5 out of 5 stars Educational Grinding.......2007-06-27

        This book is fantastic. Documenting the history of grind and death metal as if it were a part of world history. Precedent setting bands, revolutionaries, and the sort, are all featured. Of course, the big names reoccur much more often than the others, such as Napalm Death, Carcass, Morbid Angel, etc. But this book does not forget bands like Crass, Heresy, Carnage, and the like, who gave grind that push up hill. One hell of a documentary, and made me want to go out, see a show, and grind my damn brain in! GET THIS BOOK!

        4 out of 5 stars A good history of an underground sound........2007-04-01

        I picked up this book knowing I don't like the early death metal bands like Morbid Angel and Cannibal Corpse, but reading about them still entertained me enough to get through the book in three sittings. This book focuses mostly on the tape-trading days to the '80s and how death metal grew out of being an obscure form of hardcore-meets-thrash metal music genre to ending up a relatively popular style in the early '90s. It says very little about the late '90s, probably because death metalheads feared their style was dying out at that time, only to be resurrected into popularity by bands like Arch Enemy and In Flames (this is overviewed in the final chapter).

        What I like almost more than the book's main content (a pieced-together timeline from interviews of significant people), there's a recommended album list in the back for every year up to 2003. This should be an absolute must for music history books, so people like me that were born after the fact can go back and see what the style sounded like for our forerunners.

        Basically, anyone that listens to extreme music today can get a profound understanding of where things like blast beats and growling/screaming vocals came from. This book would go well with Lords of Chaos, although this one deals more with the music overall while Lords of Chaos mainly deals with the early '90s criminals of the black metal underground.

        5 out of 5 stars Grinding Death Trip Down Memory Lane.......2006-12-16

        Albert Mudrian, editor-in-chief of Decibel magazine, one of the best music magazines out there today, pens an excellent celebration of the darkest, fastest, and most intense music out there: death metal (and grindcore). Mudrian's format is simple, for a reason. It streamlines the vast reams of information within these genres and pares it down to the true essence of the keys bands - Napalm Death, Morbid Angel, Carcass - and the key record label - Earache Records.

        I used to spin records for the imaginatively titled "Metal Show" at the University of Texas college radio station, KTSB (now KVRX), from 1988-1990, right when the grindcore/death metal movement first appeared in the United States. CHOOSING DEATH brought back numerous amazing memories for me such as the time I received the Napalm Death SCUM LP at the radio station; when I saw Sepultura's first U.S. show at the DK Zone at the CMJ Music Fest in NYC; and also when I met Digby Pearson and Martin Nesbitt of Earache Records at the same convention. As one of the first college radio DJs to spin the majority of these bands that appear in this book, I loved learning even more about these groundbreaking musicians. And I thought I knew it all!

        Mudrian's research is impeccable, his writing is tight, and his subject matter rules. CHOOSING DEATH may not please every metal fanatic out there, but then we're a picky and bitchy lot, aren't we?

        Kudos to Mudrian for an excellent piece of work.

        3 out of 5 stars Not going to please everyone..........2006-03-01

        A book like this is never going to please everyone, least of all the highly contentious and constantly pushing/shoving metal underground, where a rite of passage is learning the unofficial "history" of different genres. Still, it's good enough for people new to these forms of music and offers some interesting new information from personal interviews. Trivia, maybe, but most of this is just the history of developing artists and the "sound" they were working with, so it's interesting in that way, and music lovers who are new to these forms of metal will probably have their enjoyment deepened by a little understanding. Any work that acts to remove chunks of the dominant misunderstandings and misinterpretations of metal musicians is worth it, in my opinion. Check it out.

        5 out of 5 stars I love this book.......2006-01-13

        This book teaches you so much about the death scene its amazing (and you have fun doing it). For instance it is a common myth that death metal is named after the band Death, truly it was created by the band Possesed's song "Death Metal". To any fan of death metal or grindcore this is a must read I hope that you'll have as great of a time with this as I did.
