TURNED "ROCKET SCIENCE" to Reading Ease.......2001-04-08

Homer's The Odyessey is a drudgery to read not to mention understand. This book took the pain and bordom of that and shortned it to a 1 hour (45 if your a fast reader) book that keeps all the details (for your reading pleasure) and explains the importance of each section in relations to High School which actually helps a ton. (pulled my grade on this from the usual B to A thanks to this book).

I felt as if I was reading my heart.......2006-11-07

Jerry Cook puts into words my hearts cry!
He reminds me to hope and dream of what the Body of Christ could be.
I love this book so intensely it's looking rather worn.
After reading it over and over myself, I bought copies for my board and staff.
I even preached a sermon series inspired from its pages and encouraged my entire church to purchase and devour it!
If the people of God knew how to really love, accept and forgive, we would truly be Jesus with skin on.

PS...thank you Jerry Cook and Stanley C. Baldwin for letting the Holy Spirit use you to positively change THE church...

This book will ignite passion in you and equip you to do the work of the ministry. It's message expresses the heart and mind of our Heavenly Father and His desire and purposes for the church in the earth today. The church should be an active force in the world providing a place for the borken hearted to be healed and the captives to be set free.

An outstanding book for hungry Christians.......2005-07-21

I became familiar with this book back in the late 70's. This book has much to say to Christians who want to be actively and accurately involve in their Church and their faith. Love, Acceptance and Forgiveness lives up to its sub-title very well: Equipping the church to be truly Christian in a non-Christian world.

Practical Christianity.......2004-01-13

I sat down with this book and did not get up till I finished it. That is not amazing due to the few pages there are. The amazing part is how my faith, my worldview and my Chrisitanity was so radically changed by such a small book.

The Bible is the original text while this book if the Cliff Notes in applying the real Christianity.

I now see Jesus in the eyes of the homeless; the prisoner; the "pain in the neck" people and therefore my christian expression has changed.

Do Not read this book if you do not want to change your actions toward people.

Why I keep reading this book.......2002-10-01

Love, Acceptance, and Forgiveness changed the way I view church, ministry, and Christians as a whole. As a result of first reading this book ten years ago, and rereading it every year, I have discovered that people need unconditional love simply because they are humans.
The key concept is simply that people need to be loved and deserved to be loved because they were created in the image of God.
Acceptance should have nothing to do with stature or position, but simply with the fact that we are all humans.
Forgiveness should flow freely without strings attached because we can all receive that same gift.
I would encourage all people to read this book, embrace the concepts, and allow it to change the way you opperate as a person. In the simplest terms, in the most concise way to put it, it will challenge you to examine the way you view humanity.

The Catcher in the Rye (Cliffs Notes).......2007-04-11

The CliffsNotes are very helpful in its explanation(s) of the chapters and characters. I especially found the literary summaries helpful.

the reviewer can't read between the lines.......2005-04-03

Here are some subtle questions in "Catcher in the Rye" which are not mentioned in Cliffs Notes:

--Holden flunks oral expression class because he couldn't refrain from digressing. Could that have to with his tendency to digress in this novel?
Þ
--Holden repeatedly wonders where the ducks go when the pond freezes over. Could this be because he wonders where students go when they flunk out of school?

--Two boys ask Holden for directions to the mummy exhibit. Could this have to do with the death motif?

--According to one reviewer, Holden watches Phoebe going around on the merry-go-round because he wants to keep her frozen in childhood.

--On page 141, Holden expresses willingness not to kill but to be killed. On page 188, a teacher delivers a quote which favors living for a great cause over dying for a great cause. How do these two connect?

--Holden repeatedly lies about his age and repeatedly orders alcohol. What is he trying to accomplish?

--Holden criticizes almost everyone but his sister. What would a Transactional Analyst say about his "I'm OK, you're not OK" stance?

--Upon virtually every mishap, Holden makes a generalization. How would this be interepreted in light of "Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy" by David D. Burns?

Under each chapter heading, there is a Summary heading and a Commentary heading. Most of what Kaplan calls Commentary is really more summary.

I had a professor who gave C+'s to students who can only deliver plot summaries. My professor might give Kaplan a C+.

To Catch or not to Catch.......2005-03-03

As a freshman in highschool and an avid reader, it took me no time to aquire a copy of J.D. Salingers "a Catcher in the Rye". It blew my mind. There is no book of which I have turned pages to find a solution that has captured me and found me laughing or various other strong emotions along side that of Holden Caulfield. Then I discovered there were cliffnotes. Cliffnotes for such a timeless classic and not so hard of a read are superflous and only for those who are the laziest and most sad of all ignorant saps. Turn from this road in which you are about to embark and spend your money on a nice-warm copy of Catcher... and then pat yourself on the back.

4 stars.......2004-10-19

The book, The Catcher in the Rye, written by J.D. Salinger, tells of a series of events over four days of the protagonist's life. Holden Caulfield has numerous flashbacks as he narrates his story to a psychiatrist. The reader sees the main conflict between Holden and his inner self, as he is unable to handle the pressure of being a teenager and the rejection of society. The story is told in first person as Holden talks directly to the reader. This is an important literary device as the character begins to lose his mind as the story goes on. This way the reader knows what Holden is thinking and can see that his thoughts are troubled.
The story takes place in numerous settings beginning with a boarding school in Pennsylvania and ends with Holden wandering New York City. The story starts out in a comical mood as Holden makes various impressions of people he knows and he likes to get laughs from people. Yet, he is a rebel who does not want to conform to what everyone else does, and therefore is left out and isolated from the rest of society. One of the main causes of his depression is the death of his younger brother, Allie.
I would definitely recommend this book if you are looking for great read. The book relates to kids in high school and is a funny, yet emotional book with a likable main character. The only weakness in the story is in-between the climaxes when there is a decline of action as Holden roams the city. The book includes profane language, sex, and violence and therefore is not appropriate for children under the junior high level.

Makes me want to cry........2003-10-18

I think it's a travesty that they can make Cliffnotes on a book like "Catcher in the Rye." You can not possibly get anything out of the book from reading a chapter to chapter summary. Besides, the only people who use Cliffnotes are high school students who are too lazy to actually read the book, and every high school student should read CitR for their own benefit anyway.

Kids, think of this as an ice cream sundae with only the vanilla film and a speck of fudge on the inside of the sundae glass. It'll be enough for you to report on the significant parts of the sundae in great detail to Mr. English Teacher, but you'll have none of the feeling of having eaten an ice cream sundae, perhaps the finest food on Earth, if not the finest thing. Let's call this a loan. Use old Cliff to get through the test, but promise yourself that you'll at least pull up a chair to the book when you have the chance.

A multicultural perennial favorite by Robert Lipsyte, The Contender is a moral tale that emphasizes the importance of the fight rather than the prize, the quality of the struggle over the outcome.

Amazon.com

A lush, cautionary tale of a life of vileness and deception or a loving portrait of the aesthetic impulse run rampant? Why not both? After Basil Hallward paints a beautiful, young man's portrait, his subject's frivolous wish that the picture change and he remain the same comes true. Dorian Gray's picture grows aged and corrupt while he continues to appear fresh and innocent. After he kills a young woman, "as surely as if I had cut her little throat with a knife," Dorian Gray is surprised to find no difference in his vision or surroundings. "The roses are not less lovely for all that. The birds sing just as happily in my garden."

As Hallward tries to make sense of his creation, his epigram-happy friend Lord Henry Wotton encourages Dorian in his sensual quest with any number of Wildean paradoxes, including the delightful "When we are happy we are always good, but when we are good we are not always happy." But despite its many languorous pleasures, The Picture of Dorian Gray is an imperfect work. Compared to the two (voyeuristic) older men, Dorian is a bore, and his search for ever new sensations far less fun than the novel's drawing-room discussions. Even more oddly, the moral message of the novel contradicts many of Wilde's supposed aims, not least "no artist has ethical sympathies. An ethical sympathy in an artist is an unpardonable mannerism of style." Nonetheless, the glamour boy gets his just deserts. And Wilde, defending Dorian Gray, had it both ways: "All excess, as well as all renunciation, brings its own punishment."

beautiful. and thoroughly modern........2007-06-19

this is one of the most accessible period novels i've ever read. the style of the storytelling is very conversational... indeed sometimes it seems like the main point is to showcase the conversations, especially the ones with Lord Henry in them, who is very quotable. i read that oscar wilde used to think of his witticisms ahead of time and then try to steer the conversations to a place where he could say them in public, and i guess there's no conversation more artfully directed where you want it than one you write yourself.

the basic story is one that most people know before they pick up the book, but the descriptive style and the snappy dialogue are interesting enough that it doesn't matter. the only real flaw is that it seems like a lot of the book is missing towards the end... the story wraps up a little too quickly and the descriptions of dorian's descent into depravity is really beautiful but also incredibly vague and so that kind of helps to flatten the pacing near the end.

overall i'd highly recommend this book, especially for lazy-reading. it has that kind of dreamlike quality to it.

A bit of a high horse for Wilde........2007-05-21

Dorian Gray is very good novel, but it suffers from soapbox syndrome. The writing is accessible, even to those who tend to dislike more old-styled English writing, and the plot is certainly among the greatest ideas in literature. However, the character of Lord Henry, who carries a great deal of the novel, often goes on seemingly unending rants of his views on life and they bring the book down quite a bit. With these discourses, the book loses development in favor of pseudo-philosophy in a clever if rough attempt to both attract and repulse the reader. There is a mid-chapter in the book that describes the middle of Dorian's life that is absolute work to make your way through. The philosophy of the book is important of course, but it's much better when the story lends itself for the purpose. Overall, for the brilliance of the idea of the story; it's required reading.

Gothic Good Fun.......2007-04-03

Wilde's literary genious is evident throughout. It is written in a very cinematic style - quite visual and rich in detail. Drinched in symbolism and societal insights, you feel as though you are a painting yourself watching the story unfold - - - You can almost smell the musty English drapes, see the grandiose rooms with chairs so thick with dust that a poof rises gently in the air when you sit upon them. Thought provoking and grim. Masterful

Classical.......2007-03-22

The Picture of Dorian Gray will eternally go down as a classic.
This novel - whether you are reading it word by word or reading it knowing the historical background and many many illusions thrown throughout the novel - will appeal to you.
From the beginning to the end this novel is amazing. It makes you contimplate your interior wishes. The ending is shocking - which just puts another tally for "classic".
If you are looking for a classical novel that you can read over and over again and spend hours discussing it (either with people or just personal contimplations), I recommend The Picture of Dorian Gray.

Facinating study of sin.......2007-03-15

This book surprised me with its Gothic horror and surprising plot twists toward the end. This novel, for all its horrible philosophy on life, captures in a poignant way a lost person's search for fulfillment. Despite his indulgent quest for all kinds of pleasure, Dorian is still unfulfilled and in one of the most captivating passages of the book turns to opium to forget life. His descent into the opium den is characterized as a descent into hell, a personal hell which he has brought himself to and in which everyone sees through him and is against him.

Though I wasn't a big fan at the beginning, as the book progressed I think it may have become one of the most memorable books I've read. The theme of the book is sin - its putrefying effect both on the sinner and those around him. One of the best moments of the book and one that sticks vividly in my mind is towards the end, when Dorian, sick of seeing his portrait so mangled and distorted by the sins he has already committed, does a "good deed" in order to try to start to clean it up. He races up the stairs, unlocks the secret room where his portrait is hidden, throws back the cover, and is faced with the same ugliness that had been there before. Then he is faced with a horrible realization of truth: because he had done the "good deed" out of motivation of making his own portrait/soul look better, he hadn't done a "good deed" at all and was now so deep in his depravity that even what he calls love has been warped into an all-encompassing egotism.

Dorian's egotism gets progressively deeper. throughout the book. As Lord Henry says, It begins as innocent narcissism, but as it grows it begins to shunt blame for the sin of others and even motivates the good he does at the end of the book. Rather than his heavy sins bothering Dorian, "it was the living death of his own soul that troubled him" (226). His breakup with the young country girl was motivated more out of a desire to cleanse his portrait from its grime than any love for her, "for in hypocrisy he had worn the mask of goodness. For curiosity's sake he had tried the denial of self" (228). Being able to view his sin on the portrait in a sense made it more difficult to be selfless - "nothing makes one so vain as being told that one is a sinner. Conscience makes egotists of us all" (106) - and Dorian recognized this difficulty.

The idea of pleasure in Dorian Gray is portrayed as a goal to pursue but never reach. "A cigarette is the perfect type of a perfect pleasure. It is exquisite, and it leaves one unsatisfied" (84). Despite Dorian's pursuit of pleasure (and pleasure of the most exquisite kind) he ends us dissatisfied and empty, jaded to the idea of the fullness of life. He is encouraged on by the influence of Lord Henry, who gives advice such as: "The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it," (21) and "sin is the only real color-element left in modern life" (31). Dorian is quickly influenced by Lord Henry's philosophy, aping to everyone else Lord Henry's views and words and acting out on them by plunging into the pits of hedonism.

The portrait itself is a mirror of Dorian's soul. It was a "visible emblem of conscience" (96). As Lord Henry's pleasure seeking philosophy takes hold in Dorian's mind, he sees that "eternal youth, infinite passion, pleasures subtle and secret, wild joys and wilder sins - he was to have all of these things. The portrait was to bear the burden of his shame; that was all" (109). However, in with a horrible fascination, Dorian "grew more and more enamored of his own beauty, more and more interested in the corruption of his own soul" (131) for "what the worm was to the corpse, his sins would be to the painted image on the canvas. They would mar its beauty, and eat away its grace. They would defile it, and make it shameful. And yet the thing would still live on. It would be always alive" (122). Even though "the leprosies of sin were slowly eating the thing away" (161) the portrait held on to its life of decay, just as Dorian held on to pleasure, refusing to be cleansed and beautiful again until Dorian's death.

Quotes:
"She was free in her prison of passion" (65).
"She tried to look picturesque, but only succeeded in being untidy" (49).
"There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about" (4).
"Discord is to be forced to be in harmony with others. One's own life - that is the important thing" (82).
"And how horribly real ugliness made things!" (128)

Book Description

It started almost 15 years ago. My wife Marj and I had moved to a new community and visited a local church. We arrived for Sunday school, were warmly greeted, and then ushered into a class of seniors. . . . Unfortunately, the assault on our prime-of-life status from every quarter of society has only intensified since then. Waitresses have stopped asking if we qualify for the senior discount; they simply give it to us. When I'm in public, young women step aside for me to enter doors ahead of them. . . . A publisher issued a newly designed version of one of my books that had been in print for 20 years. On the back cover, I was described as one who "remains active in writing and speaking." I wondered why they didn't add that I could still feed myself.Whether you are 50 or 70, you have probably shared some of Stanley C. Baldwin's experiences. Here is an opportunity to relive them with laughter. But, more importantly, in these pages you'll find an opportunity to reflect on how these life changes relate to your Christian life. This is a book for those who reject the grumpiness of aging and embrace the grace of life with Christ.

funny but insightful.......2005-04-15

this book is not only entertaining and funny, it's insightful and helpful. I really related! I found myself in the pages and could give myself grace and joy in the midst of seeing some evidence of aging--even at 54!
