Product Description

Texas is in a bit of a dilemma -- it is a rapidly growing state saddled with a constitution that was written by conservative farmers in 1876. Texas's government struggles to meet the needs of an increasingly diversified population and the challenges of an economy driven by large multi-national corporations, many on the cutting edge of the information age. How has Texas developed and flourished over the years, but failed to fully respond to these changes?

Lone Star Politics explicitly focuses on the disconnect between the outsized myth of Texas with its legendary political history and the reality of the state's day-to-day governance to help explain who gets what resources and how they are distributed. The engaging and accessible writing style makes this a book that students of all levels will actually want to read. And when they do, they'll get both description and analysis, a balance of institutions and behavior, as well as comparisons of Texas with other states.

Texas vs. _______ feature boxes use narrative, tabular data, and critical thinking questions to show how Texas works differently from the rest of the country, while Texas Legends; boxes show how certain celebrated figures and institutions influence Texans and their identity as well as shape Texas politics today.

Product Description
In this brief and highly accessible volume in the For Today series, distinguished biblical scholar and churchman Walter Harrelson explores the meaning and continuing importance of the Ten Commandments for Christians today. Harrelson writes in his preface: “What stake do human beings today have in the contents of these ancient words? What help do they offer as we struggle to find our way in an increasingly complex and bewildering moral universe? Are they of any real help? The premise of this book is that the Ten Commandments are still an inadequately mined treasure, a storehouse of wonderfully helpful insight and guidance for the entire population of earth.” ...

I do not recommend this book!
I became suspicious of this book when I read the preface.Harrelson states there are "questions in my mind as I attempt to speak about the Ten Commandments for today."His questions?"How can the goods of earth be shared more equitably among the earth's current population...?""How can the population of the planet be prevented from outstripping its resources...?""Why do so many of us human beings work and struggle for more of earth's goods than we could possibly use?"Frankly, questions like that never occurred to me as I read the 10 commandments.
What really disappointed me, however, was his take on capital punishment and abortion.He states "Almost all societies in the developed world have eliminated the death penalty....The United States is a notorious exception."And concerning abortion:"Choices are sometimes heartbreaking:shall the child be carried to term when it is known, known without doubt, that nothing like a normal life for the child is physically possible?"I must confess that at this point I quit reading.Anyone who has such moral confusion as to oppose the execution of the most guilty yet is sympathetic to the death of the most innocent has no credibility with me.

Harrelson's ten
In typical scholarly fashion Old Testament scholar W. Harrelson briefly covers the current biblical opinion on each of the ten commandments. He also adds his own ideas garnered from a lifelong biblical study and relates each commandment to current life situations.

Lively, challenging dialogue
This book has been widely used as a springboard for Sunday school discussions.It is also a delight for any thoughtful reader, who may feelinclined to enter the discussion by making elaborate notes in the marginsof the text.While readers may well disagree with some of the assertionsmade by Falk and Harrelson, they will certainly be stimulated by the ideasof these two wise and eloquent men. ...

Fairy Tails
This is the familiar tale of Snow White and the seven dwarfs illustrated with adorable pictures of dogs, who play the parts of the characters. The story of course is classic the illustrations funny, cute, and down right enjoyable for any age dog lover. A wonderful read-together book for little ones or a great reading book for those who can already read. My daughter,6 years old, and I read this book together and she wanted me to immediately read it again.

Very poorly written book!!!
I was 9 years old when the Mets won the world series in 1969 and I was very fortunate to attend about 5 games that year as well as game 4 of the world series. I was very excited to read this 40th anniversary book but was extremely disappointed in how poorly written it was. I would rate this the worst book I have ever read even though I was highly interested in the subject matter. The authors ideas and sentences did not flow smoothly and logically, there were many spelling and factual errors and he embarassingly wrote way too much about Tom Seaver as opposed to the entire team. It really was an awful read and I would recommend not buying this book and choosing a different one covering the amazing Mets of 1969.

Truly Amazing & Wonderful
Steven Travers has produced a certifiable masterpiece with this portrayal of those Amazin' '69 Mets; the team that inspired the imagination of fans everywhere by not only making it to the World Series, but winning it as well, despite overwhelming odds.It's a great book.

Travers brings the people & events clearly into focus, 40 years after the fact, with such clarity, it seems like it's a present-day story; it was a brilliant depiction of a team that may have appeared to be a bit flawed, but banded together in stunning fashion to shock the baseball world.

Rarely has a team captured the imagination of an entire country like those Mets, and it's a treat to recapture that magical season, with a superb piece of writing.

Travers Always Hits a Home Run
I have long admired Steve Travers' work. His crisp and fast-paced writing style always keeps me hooked. I am truly amazed at the information he is able to gather to put his content together. He knows how to create a fascinating story and how to tell it well. Given the chance to speak to Mr. Travers I would say "Keep 'em comin'because your books are both delightful and insightful to read!!"

Awesome Bible
This is an awesome Bible. Full of footnotes and concordance. Maps are colorful and the book itself is in such detail, easy to understand and great for studying. I have searhed many a time for a great Bible as this one, but never found one, until now. Highly recommend especially for Pastors.

Exactly what I had hoped.
Contents were even better than I had hoped.
Package arrived promptly and was well packaged.

So easy to read
I just received the NISB and I must begin with the fact that I haven't read but a few verses. However, I have so far found it an amazingly easy Bible to read. The two-column format, with nothing separating the columns, makes it clean and clear. Even though the font is the same size as other Bibles, it just seems bigger somehow because of the clarity of the lay-out. So far, it's one of my favorites. I'll report back after I've explored it a little more.

Walking the Gospel
Being involved with leading Bible Study on my church, I asked my pastor what study Bible he would recommend. He suggested The New Interpreter's Study Bible, New Revised Standard Version with The Apocrypha. I had used his Interpreter's Concordance in preparing for my classes, and it was very thorough in explaining the scripture. I thought The New Interpreter's Study Bible would be helpful in my preparation. So far so good.

Its strength is its weakness
I've read Luke, John, Acts, and Romans and I think I'm ready to share my impressions..

The NRSV is an excellent translation, though not appreciably better than the old RSV from the 1950s.The language has been made politically correct - er, I mean "inclusive" - but it is still indicated in footnotes where the original language had "brothers" or "men" which the translators have genericized into "friends" or "believers."I have never been able to appreciate the concern over "inclusive" language but apparently it's important to some people.I don't care either way as long as the text isn't severely tampered-with.

Along with the text of the NRSV, this Study Bible contains an extensive commentary, running along on the bottom half of the page.Sometimes the commentary is less than half of the page, sometimes it is more, but the average is about half ... so this book is at least 50% commentary.Good; that's what I wanted.Except this commentary isn't always of a quality that I would have hoped for.I have an old Oxford Annotated Bible and I felt that the notes there were not thorough enough.They told me stuff I wanted to know, but I wanted more.With the Interpreter's I feel like I could get by with less.Too much time is spent reiterating the text, and little or no comment is given to many passages that need examination since they are cryptic, puzzling, or apparently contradictory.I want more historical and textual information, and the Interpreter's commentary seems mostly to be from a doctrinal and theological standpoint.This sort of explication was extremely helpful in the murky diatribes and theological arguments of the letter to the Romans, but not so useful in Luke and Acts.

My biggest complaint is that the Interpreter's misses a lot of citations for Old Testament quotes in the New Testament.Paul in particular is proof-texting like mad in his letters (and he's quoting from the Septuagint so the quoted passages won't even MATCH the Old Testament in the Bible you're reading him from...)Anyway .. in the Oxford Annotated, they were really on top of that, providing chapter and verse for every bit of OT quoted in the NT.The Interpreters provides some references, but not all .. and it's frustrating because I want to go look at these verses in context so I can see where Paul is getting his stuff.I wanted to have everything in one volume, but I find I still have to reach for my Oxford Annotated quite frequently because the information is just NOT in the Interpreter's.

There were also a few errors in the lettering of the footnotes (not matching correctly to the lines they are supposed to note) but the astute reader will be able to puzzle that out.

Physically, the book is unwieldy.It's too big to carry around, and the pages are so thin I'm almost afraid to touch them.(The book has 2300 pages but it's only 2 inches thick, if that tells you anything.)Not really what I'd call a "portable" volume.At least it's bound with stitched signatures instead of glue, so it should last a long time.There is a significant amount of show-through on the pages which is unfortunate because the designer opted to separate the commentary from the text with a thin ruled line, which often appears to be striking out a line of text on the other side of the page.You could probably guess from the blandness of the cover design that the page layout is functional but not pretty: two columns, narrow margins, the commentary set perhaps a point smaller, darker and more tightly leaded than the text.

Still, this is a pretty good study Bible, and I'm glad to have it.The commentary is massive and much more THOROUGH than any other I've seen .. but because of what it still lacks despite its size, and the physical awkwardness of the book itself, I cannot award a full five stars. ... Read more
