A waste of time.........2006-06-03

There is absolutely nothing useful in this book. I'm glad I skimmed it at the public library before deciding to buy it. Not worth $20.. about maybe a $5 book.

This book is helpful........2006-03-03

This book was somewhat helpful when I wanted to learn how to makeover dolls. I learned a couple of tricks that I never would have thought of on my own. But, it wasn't quite what I expected. I expected more about repainting the face, but she only teaches how to paint over what's already there and glue eyelashes on.

EXCELLENT BOOK!!.......2004-08-28

I must admit, I almost became swayed when I read the last few reviews of this book. I'm SO glad that I didn't though. I don't understand how anyone can say that this book is not a resource God for beginners! The book is extremely well written aside from some grammatical errors on the part of the publisher - and as someone else in the reviews said, it is more teaching than advertising. Sabrina uses a very friendly approach and starts off this first book with just the basics so that a beginner like me can get a feel of painting and sewing very minimally and still creating something exotic, glittery and gorgeous. I wouldn't part with the book personally. I've come up with a thousand and one ideas just from looking through the pages. Definetally worth the money!

Not worth the money.......2003-12-02

This book covers very little that is helpful in the world of fashion doll makeovers. It does nothing about repainting techniques, only "enhancements," which means changing the color a bit. It also uses colored pencils and those do not work on all fashion dolls. Other questionable techniques are presented. The end result is a "Vegas showgirl," but so little is learned and so much of it is wrong or ill-advised. A beginner will be more messed up by following it than helped.

Disappointing.......2003-05-18

I bought this book and then turned around and got rid of it. Very disappointing to me. A word to the editor: spelling and grammar matter. There were consistent misspellings, such as "seperate," and "it's" for the possessive "its." That's just shoddy and there's no reason for it--this is a formal publication, not an exercise for English Comp I. As to the content of the book, I was less than thrilled to see that the author had merely painted over the existing facial screening of the doll rather than removing the original paint and starting from scratch. And pardon me, but not everyone is into the "Vegas showgirl" look, which was the only fashion this book showcased. Very limiting. Overall an amateur effort.

Simply Outstanding.......2001-06-18

I fully concur in the comments of the previous evaluator. As I near retirement, I am looking forward to using the great collection of woodworking tools I have amassed. This book has better explanations on the use of a jointer than the material that came with my recently purchased 6" Jet. The pictures, virtually all in color,are very illustrative and the text was just right - not too technical or boring but well written and to the point. The books treatment of straightening less-than-perfect material is outstanding.

A Must for Every Woodworker's Library.......2001-02-04

A must for every wookworker's library, this book is a well ordered collection of articles written by master craftsmen. Packed with pictures, it begins with how to straighten warped woods then details how to curve straight woods. Full of information on every type of wood joint and jigs to make them work right the first time using one's hand or power tools. I have found the secrets revealed in this book to be most helpful in my understanding how to get the most out of my nice tools. I particularly like the section on how to choose router bits and detect whether or not they are defective. I had an expensive one shatter on first use; no more. I'll use this as a reference many times. It is well worth the buck.

Give this one to your parents..........2007-09-17

One of the families from our church fellowship lent us this book after we had already been convicted to leave the numbers of our family in the hands of the Living God (who better is there to plan our families size? Who knows what is best for us - us or Him?).

I really appreciated the thorough answering of the most common objections that families who submit their reproduction to God will encounter when their families begin to bloom - for this reason, I think it's good to have a copy of this book on hand to give concerned family members to read when they begin to think you've lost your mind.

For our family it all comes down to one simple concept - who is sitting on the throne? Self? Or God? He is sovereign, and knows what is best for each of his children. If the Lord is working in your life and causing you to question contraceptive methods, if you feel a longing for more of His blessings in your life, please do read this book, you aren't abnormal or losing it - you are in line with His will as is apparent throughout the scriptures which are outlined and listed in this book.

Two arrows so far, and praying for more for the Lord to use.

Literalistic and shallow.......2007-07-26

This book is yet another entry in the genre of anti-contraception books being written for evangelical Christians by the Religious Right. The arguments against birth control are based on a select few verses which are taken out of their historical context and turned into commands for all people at all times. For example, God tells Adam and Eve to be fruitful and multiply so the human race can get started - according to the anti-contraception crowd, this verse means all of us should have as many kids as possible. This is obviously false, since the greatest Biblical heroes (Christ, Paul) were celibate men, and Jesus extolled a devoted life of celibacy over family life. But, as always, the Religious Right has little use of the New Testament.

I have been to India, and I can say without any doubt that over-population is real, and the cause of great suffering and misery. I also live on the east coast in the U.S., where urban sprawl is so dense that uninterrupted concrete and asphalt can be seen from space stretching from Boston to Washington, D.C. Houses virtually anywhere on the east coast cost more than $300,000 - even with the recent housing slump - and condos are the most many people can afford. Books like this rely on junk science (like global warming denial, and the thoroughly-debunked "cornucopian" theories of Julian Simon and his ilk, who say that natural resources will never run out), and there are two sinister agendas that these authors will rarely if ever admit to: 1) that evangelical Christians need to make more babies on the presumption that their kids will become evangelical Christians, so we can outbreed the "unsaved" and win the "culture war," and 2) that over-populating the country will result in many people being in poverty, which will make many people desperate for any job they can get and give the wealthy even more power to prevent "socialism," as they call public health and welfare policies, from creeping into the government. A video available on the Internet shows a speaker at the 2007 College Republicans convention, hosted by one of Sun Myung Moon's institutions, making this exact point.

Both of these points are false. Evangelical Christians do not need to worry about being outbred by Catholics, Muslims, and "unsaved." Nor can they assume that their children will grow up and embrace evangelical Christianity. Christians are called to witness to people, not try to "outbreed" them in the deluded belief that Christianity is somehow genetic. Too many unsaved people per capita? Then get out the tracts and start saving souls - forget about impregnating the wife! Furthermore, the idea that we should drive the U.S. further into poverty, giving the rich even more power thanks to the vast misery and suffering of hordes of unemployed people, is just insane. Even in the Old Testament, God sometimes told people not to have children because of the misery and suffering that was coming upon the next generation (for example, the prophet Jeremiah).

Each family must make up its own mind about how many children to have and what if any measures should be taken to manage contraception. I have no problems with people choosing any course of action for themselves. But don't trick yourself into thinking that God has given us a one-size fits-all standard on this issue. He hasn't. Don't misrepresent God.

A Bit Disappointing..........2006-11-08

I found Rick Hess's "humor" to be a bit hostile and sexist in places (such as on page 88 when he implies men would rather kill themselves than let their wives manage their homes.) It distracted from what is a serious subject.
The probability chapter struck me as being quite irrational. Mr. Hess's states that there is no such thing as probability, that we are denying God's sovereignty, when we believe that 2 parents with blue-eyes are very likely to have blue-eyed children. What I think Mr. Hess is denying is the clear evidence that God *usually* acts within the physical laws he creates. Yes, he can override genetics and give a child any color of eyes he wishes--but under ordinary circumstances, we can safely count on God to follow the laws of genetics. Following Mr. Hess's statement that there are no laws of genetics, one could state that with each pregnancy they would have no idea if they would give birth to a human, a cat, or who knows what. How ridiculous! I'm not even sure how he thought this anti-probability chapter contributed to the central thesis of quiverfullness. If anything, it seems to take away from his argument, since if God is soveign and totally unpredicatable, then we have no reason to think that birth control would ever work anyway, so what would it matter if we use it?
While the book makes an excellent case that children are a blessing and that Christians should desire to be blessed with children, it doesn't make a Biblical case that the use of non-abortifacient birth control is "sin". I think many Christians would like the issue to be cut and dried, but the truth is, God does give us choices in life. Many times there are equally valid choices. Sometimes one choice is "better" than another choice, but that doesn't make the lesser choice "sin".
Still, many informative & interesting points are brought up in the book. It is a quick read, and probably worth the read for someone seriously investigating this subject. In my opinion a much better read on this subject is "Birthing God's Mighty Warriors" by Rachel Scott.

I need more information.......2006-04-21

I was recommended this book by my sister who is whole-heartedly devoted to the concepts in this book. She's a home-school mother of 5 (and possibly more in the future). I value her opinion greatly so I read this book.

I think Rick and Jan Hess do a wonderful job in portraying how the family is seen in modern times. Many people see kids as a hindrance to their personal freedom. It was refreshing to read the biblical support for how valuable children are and how blessed a couple can be with them.

Nonetheless, I felt like there was something missing... I use birth control pills and I felt like the Hesses were saying that that means that I don't have faith and trust in the Lord to bring me my God-chosen sized family at the right time. I don't think I agree that my trust is lacking. I believe that biologically, having sex lends to making a baby. I do believe that God can choose to intervene whenever he sees fit.

The bible talks a lot about the blessing of children in the Old Testament (be fruitful and multiply). But isn't the new covenant that Christ commanded to go make disciples of all men? Most of the authors of the New Testament were single and their mission was to go out to the nations. Should that be a testament to us to look beyond our own household?

My husband and I hope to have children someday soon. I think the Hesses make a good point, but I don't think it is as black and white as they stated in their book.

This book is a must read before you decide on birth control!.......2005-11-08

First of all, this book is very special to me. It was the help of this book, that made my husband decide to get his vasectomy reversed. Something that I had been praying for three years to happen! Rick and Jan Hess go into marvelous explanation of why God should be your birth controller.
Birth controll is convenient to a country like america. It is also too much the norm. But is birth control really safe? Is it biblical? You will find answers like these in this book. I especially liked the chapter titled: "Who didn't come to dinner" It gives you a list of famous people who were the last child or one of the last children to be born in their family. It makes you really think: Who have I not let be born? What blessing to this world have I rejected because of my desire for convenience or for financial stabiblity? Very eye-opening book if you are searching for truth. If you are thinking, why have so many kids when there are so many who need homes. Then do both! We are going to! Kids are truly a heritage unto the Lord. Dont deny Him and yourselves of this and read this book to find out why! I know you will be glad you did.
