This is far and away the most practical, comprehensive and useful reference on power supplies I have ever read. It covers it all from component level through EMI control in a very straight forward manner. EXCELLENT!

Easy to read, easy to like.  His writing style keeps you turning the pages, a bit of humor in the recipe plus plenty of anecdotes about how this life-changing plan can work.  I have adopted some of his principles, more whole-food plant-based eating and less junk food, and I like that small change.  The recipes are practical, reasonable, do-able.  It's a book I find myself inflicting on friends, or wanting to.....

Great book!  One among a million that actually lives up to its title/subtitle..."practical guide to biblical husbanding"... I read it by myself and now finishing reading it with a small group of men and 1x1 with another man in our church... I might dare to call it life-changing...when you receive the unpacking of scripture by Lou and consider/apply the plethora of practical applications he suggests

This book is wonderful!  It is so practical, kids and teachers will have an easy time relating to it with daily experience (frequently an obstacle in learning..."why do I need to know this?"...).  The real life situations of the problems used are quite clever.  Well done!!

A best-selling handbook such as this with such a strong pedigree hardly needs a review, but since no one has, I will commit myself. If you can bear not getting an Oxford Handbook, but instead want to own a truly practical, beautifully structured and above all a really practical book (that does not need a magnifying glass to read the text), then go and buy it! Every topic is formatted the same way with 'Diagnosis' with what to ask / look out for in the history incl risk factors etc; essential clinical features; sequential testing from bedside to simple bloods, ECG , CXR to more complex radiology; then followed by 'Management' which is general supportive; specific; and finally disposal and its urgency. I have had at work for 3 months now (inner city), and still have not found a condition that was not covered. An absolute gem that deserves its continuing success (plus check out the snazzy cover, and additional online material - for free!).

Dare I say this is a practical book on Magic that *gasps* that does not devote a section to Karma??? I can hear the fluffy bunnies exploding all over the place. Be that as it may, Bob Johnson offers some fine advice in this work.

While a couple of parts are hokey, such as the "Corporate Magick Cabal - a group of magicians, psychics, and experts who will be telepathically connected to the readers of this book twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, to bolster spells and help with all types of magick." That is mere hyperbole and a confidence booster.

That aside, the book is well done in its own right. He offers you practical spells from various traditions such as Wicca, Santeria, Voodou, as well as Magically oriented advice using Astrology and Qabala. Frankly I don't think the author has practiced the religions of Santeria or Voodou, rather he offers cases of people from those religious beliefs and how they chose to conquer a challenge using what they knew from their faith.

For those of you who're Magically challenged, there's a primer in chapter 2. Chapter 4 discusses talismans and the use of your everyday tools at work for Magical results. Some of his herbal knowledge in chapter 9 seems to have come from a variety of sources. Where he got Lovage to use in Sales is beyond me. Possibly the idea is to induce an agreeable personality to the prospect and thus gaining stronger rapport? However his use of Devil's Shoestring Root for employment is spot on as this is a southern Rootworker remedy.

My favorite chapter is number 8 about the practical use of the Qabala (or "Kabbalah" as the author spells it). Typically in books dealing with this deeply mystical subject, far too often the practical aspect of it is overlooked in favor of reserving it solely for the use of Spiritual aims. That's all well and good if you're a heir to a throne or receiver of some large endowment being given to you or a trust fund baby. However for the rest of us, we gotta work and eke out a living and it's no one's business to tell us if we can make use of a Spiritual discipline for our own personal needs and wants.

Johnson does not go into great depth in any chapter of the book. Frankly I feel he offers the right amount of theory which is just enough for a basic understanding. Then he gives you scenarios to consider and even offers up "case studies" for you to read and digest. Then of course, there's the spells and rites that make up the rest of the book. The meat of it that offers you some ideas on how to deal with difficult situations at work and out in the field.

Nothing is really underhanded or manipulative in here so don't presume it's all about climbing the corporate ladder while stomping on toes and fingers of other climbers. Rather Johnson seems to allow the mature reader the opportunity to judge what to use and when to use it rather than giving tired old platitudes of "thou shouldn't..."

The book includes a nice bibliography of the typical new age authors out there - ho hum. And it also offers a pretty decent index to help you find those passages that caught your eye earlier when you couldn't find your highlighter. My copy was obtained at a rate of fourteen dollars and ninety-five cents and I rate it a full 5 stars due to its overall completeness. Again it is mainly targeted for those in the world of business but you could adapt some of the spells and ideas into your own personal practice without much difficulty.

Practical, relevant, and timely for leaders of any organization. Peter and Chris have given us a good gift with this one, and I'm grateful.

I just started using this and I am still getting used to it.  I am set in my ways and having a hard time to adjust to it and I am on the fence if I should keep it or not.  I like cooking... smelling, seeing, tasting and touching food while cooking.  I only need it once (or twice) per week when my kids have extra curricular activities.  Eventually it will help me when I entertain. I wish I got the 6 quart instead.  This is very practical for a 2 or 3 person family and you will have very few leftovers but we are a groeing family of 5.  The other thing I did not realize is that there is a 20 minute period of pressure build up.  This is good for soups, stews and meats.  But it is not practical for me for steaming vegetables, for example.  I also  do not like the fact that I cannot check on or stir my food.  I can, actually but a quick peek takes a few minutes to depressure the machine.  One thing I noticed on this machine is that the small version does not have a rice paddle holder.
If I were to do it all again I would get the 6 quart.  With the small one it is not practical to stack several foods.  This is a useful tool for occasional use.  I am looking forward to making yogurt.
All in all I like it but don't  love it... yet.  I am habing to learn to cook in a different way (i already know gow to cook) As I get used to it and discover more recipes I might change my mind if I learn more time saving tips.

In summary, unless you are just a household of 1 or 2 people get the 6 quart.  This is great for those that need a set it and forget it type of meals, busy families truly pressed for time, and those who don't  know how to cook and need to learn to cook at home.

I should add that I also tried another brand that didn't work right out of the box.  Overall I think the Instant Pot is very well made.

Joel Comiskey has written many books on cell groups and cell churches. In my opinion, this is the most practical. It is particularly helpful for laying the foundation of a new cell ministry. God is showing us that small group settings allow for deeper discipleship and rapid church growth. However, before we can multiply cells, we need to equip our leaders. It isn't about the quantity, it is about quality. I highly recommend this book to all those who are looking to start a new cell ministry. The harvest is plenty, but the workers are few. Let God begin to multiply cell group leaders within your church.

I have read Shoe Leather with great appreciation. It get down to the practical "how to" of leading people in discipleship.  Rick Oglesby writes from years of experience.  A very practical book.
