Book Description
In the tradition of Who Moved My Cheese? and the Fish! series comes an entertaining and time-tested parable about how to maximize a business career around one's strengths. A group of animals with self-perceived shortcomings but great aspirations decides to attend school to become more well-rounded. But as the rabbit tries to swim, the pig tries to climb trees, and the others try to improve upon their 'weaknesses,' they end up frustrated and unhappy with each other. ANIMALS, INC. is a simple but powerful parable explaining a basic but vital business lesson: executives, managers, and employees need to focus on their strengths rather than spending too much time concentrating on their weaknesses. Gallup shows readers how.

Fun, but lacking profundity. . ........2007-01-03
I found this book a lot of fun--reminded me of say Charlott's web. (Except with a weird business twist) It contains quite a bit of VERY basic information--explains a lot of buzzwords in a humorous way and by doing so is more honest about management by fad than most of the books I've read.
For someone just learning about business this wouldn't be a bad book just to pick up some of the vocab and develop a healthy cynicism of business fads. I personally didn't learn anything new. MBAs can feel free to skip this title unless you just want something entertaining.
I personally found it very entertaining--read the whole thing in one day. 4 stars for entertainment!
A big miss.......2006-12-27
I am a big fan of almost all the books Gallup and their people have put out. This book was a total miss. The humor was painful, and the management lessons were forced onto a weak story.
I read the reviews of this book, and thought - it can't be that bad - but, they were right - this was pretty weak. I do not give out many 1 star reviews, but this book actually deserves it. If anything this book is mildly entertaining, but could have been half as long. Better luck next time....

It is a good and strange book. .......2005-08-23
When I read this book ,Animals, Inc., firstly I though it was very funny. The authors used the same words that have differrent meanings. It is a good idea. It made me laugh loudly. Some jokes are very nonsense but I like it. ^J^
Later, I was serious about management, business, operation, etc. I didn't have knowledge about these. I though I studied about the process of running Goode Farm with other animals. I can apply to use it for managing in my life.
I will say about the plot of this story. I think it was a very good plot.
The authors brought many kinds of animals, which have their own styles and different charateristics, to present and run this story very well.
They can write the talking scene between animal and human smoothly, but some scenes didn't tell any ideas that wasn't important to know.
Finally, I will say the book is very interesting concept. It can draw me to follow. I 'd like to know the next thing that will be happen.
It is for people who want to learn about the basic of business with smile.
Missed opportunity - a waste of time........2004-10-11
The title and description got my attention, and had me thinking that this could be a great illustration of the absurdity of various management techniques, and how common business problems might be overcome. But this book is nothing more than corny puns, silly cliches, and ridiculous animal jokes. When the animals take over the farm, they proceed to act like, well, animals, not demonstrating any real human behavior from which we might learn. I do not know what the point was of this book.
The book spends the first 98% of its content trying to be funny but illustrating nothing about mistakes that businesses make. The mistakes that this particular business makes have no correlation whatsoever with real businesses. The only thing that we can say for certain about this business is that it is run by inept managers and populated by inept workers. It just spends too much time trying to be cute, and never really incorporates real-life business issues or makes a point about what the business should be doing differently.
I can't believe Gallop approved this book!.......2004-09-04
Given the success of Gallop's other books, Now, Discover your Strengths and First Break all the Rules, I was excited to read their latest venture. A parable that teaches the lessons of their first two books sounded interesting. Unfortunately, the title is the only thing of interest.
Distilling wisdom through the ENDLESS puns and barnyard "humor" is near impossible. The countless jokes were unbearable -- and I use the word "jokes" lightly because it is so unfunny. Anyway, here's what I learned:
1) Reading books about management and running organizations is a waste of time, as the authors conceded that most books are "good for firewood." Funny, isn't this a book about management and running organizations? Hmmm...
2) 360-degree feedback is a waste of time, except for the fact that "it can get dang cold in January" and once again, you can use the reports for firewood. Also, they go into great detail, page after page, describing ridiculous animal competencies, then go on to use the report for role/job selection. WRONG! 360 should never be used for role/job selection. 360 is a developmental tool. However, in one sentence in the Epilogue, they say that 360 is useful on a limited basis, but never really explain or demonstrate how to use it or that they used it incorrectly to prove some unknown point.
3) Organizational Climate surveys...also a waste of time. But certainly not more so than pages of goofy questions with silly barnyard humor. (In the Epilogue, in one sentence, they say these surveys can be valuable. Incidentally, the only reason I got to the Epilogue was that I wanted to be fair when I wrote this review.)
4) Training to help develop new skills is a waste of time (OK. I get it. Let people do what they are best at. There, I just saved you from reading this book, as this is the only valuable sentence that I took away from the entire book. But of course, I already knew this because I read their first two books.)
5) Meditation and stress management are useless. This is sad because I know several people who meditate and they seem to manage their stress quite well.
This entire book was a great idea...then came the reality. I can almost see the authors laughing to themselves, saying, "let's see how many puns we can squeeze into one book." Animals Inc. was not aMOOsing, as the cow might say, EGGstremely informative as the chicken might say, or anywhere in the NEIGHborhood of being valuable, as the horse might say. If those jokes annoyed you, do not buy this book.

too soon to rate.......2006-08-09
I have only tried one recipe in this book so far and my family was't crazy about the results...but then, that isn't out of the ordinary for my family when we try new recipes...the book actually looks promising and I would have to try more recipes before I could write a real review of it; so don't go by my review
Cooking in the real world.......2004-01-08
I love this cookbook. The recipes are easy and fast! No fancy ingredients needed. Most of what is called for is somethig I already have on hand. The tips, explanations, and illustrations are great. This is my kind of cookbook!
Great simple recipes!.......2003-10-31
I love this book! Great food ideas to prepare! Easy recipes! No hassle cooking. Speedy clean-up. Very nicely written and illustrated. This book is truly a good value. It is fun to read and helpful!
Great eats!.......2003-10-14
I am a little partial to this book because Betty is my aunt! But the ease in which the book goes over recipes and the great photography makes it easy for me to brag. Betty Thompson-Morton comes from a family of great cooks! Pat and Betty have a great chemistry and it is refreshing to see that they have a cookbook to showcase the great works. I had showed everyone that I know and everyone's impressed. But on the personal side, I am very proud!!!!! The personal touch is what makes this a great read. Even my 13 year old can use these recipes. That will be the key to this books success....no mess and good eats.

Customer Reviews:
Best Psychology I've Read!!.......2002-03-06
Generally I don't enjoy reading books on trading psychology, or any other psych for that matter. When I purchased this, I assumed it was a general book on trading. Boy was I wrong!! The first half of the book is very well written and caused me to take some action on my beliefs. I am not someone who is easily impressed or convinced of anything, that is what made it so enjoyable to me. The second half on trading methodology was good and there were a few usable bits of information.
All in all, if you want a look at yourself as a trader or investor, this book is well worth the small pricetag.
Packed with Knowledge!.......2002-01-30
Trading offers remarkable rewards and attracts many new entrants every year. Most rookie traders are sure that there is a relatively easy route to the crock of gold at the end of the rainbow. Veteran trader John Hayden, who has traded stocks, gold and U.S. Treasuries since 1976, disabuses his readers of any such notions; there is no way to short-cut the system. The book is divided into two sections: The first offers a sort of trader's self-improvement manual and concentrates on developing the attitudes needed to be a successful trader. As in many books within the personal growth oeuvre, this advice often consists of reiterating the glaringly obvious in condescending fashion. The second half is the more technical, and will be of more interest to the novice or intermediate-level trader, to whom we [...] recommend this book for its original observations and conclusions.
One of the top three trading books.......2001-12-03
Of the literally hundreds of stock market books I have read, I consider this book to be one of the top three. (The other two are: 1) How I Made $2,000,000 In The Stock Market by Darvas and 2) Zen In The Markets by Toppel). The 21 Irrefutable Truths Of Trading gives insights into how our beliefs and values influence our trading and how we can alter these beliefs and values. As the author says "The trading game is played out in the six inches of space between your ears!" This is a critically important book and I am very thankful the author wrote it.
Good Read for the Novice Trader.......2001-06-06
This book is a reality sandwich on what you will be facing in the trading world and how to best be prepared mentally. It does get a bit long winded at times but it's an easy read.
A must for the beginner.
An excellent primer!.......2001-02-20
although, I am a novice trader (trainee), I have found this book to be succintly written to motivate the reader. It reads like a memoir, yet it's instructional and insightful. I found this book to help me on my personal life, too! it's not what happens to you that counts, it's how you interpret it to mean and how you run with it....it's rationally written with easy-to-follow methodologies. If you are interested in reading a book about what's it like to be a active trader, then I would consider this book to be a "Strong BUY" for you!

Above Average BUT Ignore Its Buy-N-Hold Advice.......2003-05-25
Surprisingly effective, however, now in 2003 we are in a secular bear market that likely will not be over until the Dow Jones Index slumps to 3500 or so and the NASDAQ plunges to 600. Thus, you must ignore this book's buy-n-hold advice. Remainder of book is useful, suggest one also read Sy Harding's "Riding the Bear" and seek out Prudent Bear mutual fund's site.

Product Description
The Gulf War, contends Hilsman, was brought on not by the clash of national interests, but by the intense personal rivalry between George Bush, Sr., & Saddam Hussein. Saddam Hussein is a villain, but a villain who rose to power in a society of villains; a man driven by very real & human fears. George Bush, Sr., is also a driven man, who manipulated the press & news from the region while ignoring the counsel of many military & diplomatic experts during what some observers called his "headlong rush to war." This important study allows the reader to consider carefully the validity of Bush, Sr.'s, claim to be the "foreign policy president" based on his handling of the Persian Gulf crisis. A controversial work!
Customer Reviews:
An overview by hindsight.......2002-04-24
This book basically contends that although the leaders of the two countries acted like school yard bullies squaring off that it was George Bush who kept pushing towards war each time Saddam Hussein tried to slow down the current.
Among some of the interesting items presented against President Bush was the fact that he initially seemed to be pushed around by British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher who told him at a meeting that he couldn't stand for Hussein's invasion. In the beginning he wobbled and changed stances on the invasion frequently. His public and private statements through diplomatic channels were contradicting. At first he conveyed to Saddam Hussein (before the invasion of Kuwait) that the U.S. didn't care what Hussein did and would not take action if he invaded because it was an Arab problem. But when the invasion occurred he took action against it. Second, President Bush pushed Sadia Arabia to house U.S. troops on their soil even though the Saudi's were against it. Then he announced to the world that the Saudi's had requested the U.S. troops to help protect their land. Third, President Bush announced that the troops in Saudi Arabia would be there for defense of that country only and denied any intention of an invasion force to push back Iraqi troops. This too, turned out to be untrue.
On the opposite side of the spectrum it seems that, initially, Saddam Hussein's grievances were somewhat legitimate, although not for a full invasion of Kuwait. Saddam had come to the U.S. for help and was told to handle it any way he wanted, it was not our concern. You have to understand that in the years before the Gulf War the U.S. government was helping Saddam Hussein in his war with Iran. There was an issue of Kuwait stealing Iraqi oil by a "slant drill" in an oil field. The issue of Kuwait owning islands that blocked the ability of Iraq to transport their oil out of the Persian Gulf (these were given to Kuwait by the British). Atleast four times Hussein had offered a peace agreement and to remove his soldiers from Kuwait after the invasion through many nations, including Jordan and Russia, all to be turned down by the U.S.
Overall I feel this book was interesting and shed some light on some of the causes behind the war. While I believe that these are valid reasons that have been well researched I'm sure there are even more. The path towards war is usually complex.

How To Worship Jesus Christ
ASIN: 0802426832 |
Book Description
We were created to worship Jesus Christ. We were created for Him, to become something like Him in order that He might find pleasure in us.' The apostle Paul also believed this to be true. He made clear in word and deed that his greatest desire was to know Christ, to love Christ, and to have intimate fellowship with Christ. Because Jesus Christ was central in Paul's life, he was able to accomplish great things for God. Drawing from Scripture, with special attention to the book of Revelation, Pastor Carroll sets forth simple, practical concepts essential to true worship. In addition, he refers to the words and habits of many of God's best-known followers, from Bible times to modern day. Their thoughts and experiences will encourage and inspire you. True worship is more than setting aside a few minutes each day to read the Bible and pray. True worship requires complete commitment of emotions, intellect, and will. Pastor Carroll will help you understand the need for and the results of that commitment. And, best of all, he will show you how to make and live that commitment.

Book Description
As Christians, it is vitally important that we know the truth - the truth of God's Word. It is our protection, our comfort, our source of freedom. We are called to walk in truth and give a reason for our faith. Knowing Scripture by heart is our defense in a world that is increasingly hostile to truth and to the Christian faith. But memorizing Scripture can be a daunting task! Where do we start? What should we memorize? The Believer's Life System has now made hiding the Word in your heart much easier with God's Word in Mind, a three-level tool. If you've memorized some Scripture verses in the past, and now want to be more intentional, try the Advanced Level 1 or Advanced Level 2 packets. Memorize what the Bible has to say on topics such as Guidance, Integrity, Thankfulness, and Wisdom. Each features 52 Scripture memory cards arranged by topic, quoted from the New International Version (NIV), and the New King James Version (NKJV). These packets contain suggestions on how to train your memory for better recall of the Scripture verses you learn.Each level contains 52 credit card-sized Scripture memory cards that can be carried with you in a sturdy vinyl card holder that fits in your Believer's Life System.

Excellent Devotional.......2002-09-27
This is an amazing devotional. It is Scripturally sound, encouraging and convicting. It will build you up, and challenge you to a deeper relationship with Jesus. Everyone should have it.

Oswald Chambers, a Scotsman who converted to Christianity in his teens under the ministry of Charles Spurgeon, has been affecting Christians with his devotional words since My Utmost for His Highest was first published in 1935. This acknowledged classic contains 365 daily readings that take heady doctrine and make it practical, realistic, and intensely personal. With humor and humility, Chambers speaks plainly to the common man struggling with devotion to Christ in daily living. Worldly cares and self-serving desires begin to lose their appeal as Chambers aides the reader in transforming his mind by viewing life through the instruction of God's Word. Richard Halverson, former chaplain of the United States Senate, attests to this: "no book except the Bible has influenced my walk with Christ at such deep maturing levels." This is Chambers's chief desire, directing the reader to "shut out every other consideration and keep yourself before God for this one thing only--My Utmost for His Highest... determined to be absolutely and entirely for Him and for Him alone." --Jill Heatherly
Book Description
The most beloved devotional of all times is now available in loose-leaf form. Oswald Chambers was a man dedicated to God, the proclamation of His Word, and the people chosen to follow Jesus Christ. As a pastor, teacher, and trainer, his words of inspiration have encouraged millions to walk closer with the Savior. With 365 daily readings in a format for use in your Believer's Life System, you will find yourself challenged and encouraged to know God in a deeper and more personal way. Turn spare minutes in your day into teachable times from the Lord, by turning to this devotional during your quiet time, in the office, on the train, or while waiting for an appointment - and learn to give your utmost for His highest.

Customer Reviews:
Oz is Great!.......2007-10-15
Oswald Chambers is not only one of the most brilliant theologians of our era, he is one of the best English writers. Chambers explains the practical side of the Christian life by revealing the depths of the grace in Christ we have been given. It is a staple in my Christian diet, and a great read for any serious believer.

This book is a traditional religious Christian book. It has daily devotionals that are based on scripture. It is applicable to many situations and many people would find it inspirational. The readings are short enough to easily commit to daily reading but deep enough to make one think and bring one closer to God.
Thought provoking.......2007-06-08
This is my kind of devotional. No sappy sentiments. Based on scripture, written by one of the most respected theologians ever. I keep a copy of this in my car to bring in to any appointments where I will be waiting. Can read just one day or 10 days at a time. I have bought many copies of this for other people, everyone loves it. I will use this year after year, always something new pops out at me. I love that The Oswald Foundation insists it be sold so cheap so that anyone can afford to own this little gem.
My Utmost for His Highest Journal.......2007-05-16
Very well made. Oswall Chambers hit Holiness on the heart. Journalling allows you to see prayers answered the next year you go though the devotions. I have used one for years. This one I sent to my son.

Vivid descriptions are given of the events that took place and her struggle to regain her sanity.

A modern day prophecy.......2001-01-11
If you have ever doubted God's existence then this is the book for you. It is about a young girl who loses her mind and unborn child behind the walls of a cold and lonely mental hospital room. Vivid descriptions are given of the events that take place including her visions of the paranormal. The poetry is very prophetic and beautiful. It will touch the very core of your heart. A heart breaking but victorious story of her triumph over self-defeat and a cruel world. A must read for anyone who thinks they have reached the end of their road.
