inspiring.......2006-02-26

This book covers many interesting Christian value based financial topics, with an emphasis on an older audience. Topics include predictable things like sensible investment strategies, insurance needs, considerations in setting up a will or a trust, tax considerations, etc. One topic that did surprise me somewhat was the discussion about the meaning of retirement. That chapter might make some readers pause and consider what their goals are in life. Overall - a very good book as I expected from the late Mr Burkett.

Solid Financial Advice For All Christians.......2004-01-06

The authors Larry Burkett and Ron Blue offer sound financial advice for Christians in their 40's or 50's preparing for the second half of life (but useful to people of any age). What your mother and father didn't know and couldn't teach you.

Did you know that our cost of living DOUBLES every twenty-four years? (using an inflation rate of just 3%) Will you outlive your savings and investments? Will Social Security be enough? How do you live debt-free in a material world? Are your investments in balance with the current economy? When should you invest in stocks? 401k's? Conventional IRA or Roth IRA? Bonds? Real estate? Certificates of Deposit? When is the right time to "cash out"? Is your head spinning yet?

Based on core Christian principles, the authors discuss nearly every area of personal finance, including the importance of giving and the myths surrounding retirement. Very straight-forward and easy to understand. Includes common questions and answers at the end of each chapter, interesting stories and personal experiences of the authors, scripture references, interactive worksheets and tables. A "must read" for every Christian.

Book Description

Brawny inboard motors, lovingly crafted wood hulls, and swank chrome accoutrements are all synonymous with Chris-Craft, the most prestigious name in the history of American boatbuilders. This beautifully illustrated history of the Michigan-based company and its most significant powerboats begins in 1922.

History of Chris Craft.......2007-10-15

A well written and informative book on the early years of Chris Craft through the sale of the Company by the family. This is a great Wood boat reference not much Fiberglass information within. A great coffee table book.

Unhappy with Amazon!.......2005-10-09

The book is fine, however I'm not impressed with Amazon at all. I ordered two books, but after 5 weeks of waiting, I've only received one of them. Service is much to slow!

In addition, Amazon did not send my book via United Parcel Service like they said they would. Instead it came via the US mail, and the box was badly mangled and damaged. Also, since the box did not fit in my mailbox, I had to make an extra trip to the post office to pick up my item.

I'D MUCH RATHER THAT AMAZON HAD SHIPPED VIA UPS! THEIR SERVICE IS MUCH QUICKER AND MORE PROFESSIONAL. IN ADDITION, UPS WOULD HAVE DELIVERED THE ITEM TO MY HOUSE, INSTEAD OF ME HAVING TO MAKE A LONG TRIP TO THE POST OFFICE.

I think that Amazon should review their service in regards to timely and better shipping. Waiting over 5 weeks on an item is unsatisfactory!

Great Book.......2003-03-04

A wonderful look at the history of Chris Craft.

Terrific pictures of some beautiful vessels.

Highly recommended.......2003-01-30

This book is exactly what I have been looking for to give to my husband: a BIG Chris-Craft enthusiast. If you love boats, or know someone who does, I highly recommend that you get this book. I'm sure you'll be very happy with it too.

great action, great illustrations.......2007-09-12

Yes, the rhyming text is a bit labored, but my almost-4-year-old doesn't care. This is my favorite of Demarest's books because the story arc is really satisfying. (Although we love all the fire fighting books as well.) The illustrations are exciting and action-packed.

Of all the hundreds and hundreds of books we check out from the library, this is one of the few that I've felt is worth buying. My son has come back to it repeatedly since we discovered it nearly a year ago. He reenacts the story's daring rescues with Legos, with play-acting, and with friends. Highly recommended.

One of the best "boy" books ever written.......2007-01-09

Demarest is a genius, and this is probably his best book. There are very few great "boy" books (I use the word carefully, it's for "boys" of either gender) in the world, and Demarest has written most of them.

The illustrations are marvelous and the poetry is excellent. It stands quite well as a poem all by itself.

I have a 9yo with a reading disability who's probably read this (with me) about fifty times. We now own most of Demarest's adventure books. It is a testament to their excellence that most remain in print, despite a lack of classy prizes. The latter, by the way, is an indictment of the industry that assigns "prizes" to children's books.

The only downside is that you run the risk of inspiring a child to become a rescue swimmer, fortunately the illustrations are worrisome enough that my son prefers to speak of becoming a mech. As noble and inspiring as these heroes are, it is not the sort of profession to ease a parent's heart.

Frame of reference.......2001-02-12

This book has no frame of reference for the very small children for whom it is written. The illustrations bear no relationship to each other except that they are all related to the sea. There are many better choices for babies and toddlers.

Very good book for very young children........1997-08-19

My 14-month-old daughter just loves it. It's a simple, enjoyable book that doesn't bore the child or the reader
