This book proved to be very useful and insightful. Once I read it, I felt the urging need to give it as a gift to my family... it helps you understand many things about yourself, your family, relatives and even close friends. Issues and things that otherwise they would be very difficult to explain, recognize or even catalog. Read slowly and meditate a lot on it, and it will prove very helpful. Hope you are able to get it.

5 out of 5 stars My family is Free at Last.......2007-03-16

I can't believe that this revelation has not been preached and taught in my church. After reading this book, I gave my daughter the free CD and asked her to listen to it. I told her that if she got anything out of it to call and we would talk. She called the next day and we talked long and hard about generatinal curses in our life together and how it has already started to taint her life with her daughter. We prayed and bound the emeny. We claimed the blessings bought for us by our Lord. How amazing to feel the true freedom that only being a blood-bought Christian of authority can feel. Praise you Larry for sharing this with my family.

5 out of 5 stars I like it........2007-07-31

Worth every penny. This isn't a diet book so much as it is a book about how food affects your brain, and what you can do to get the results you want. While the information is fantastic the writting could be better. If you are looking for a "just the facts" presentation of the information, see the website. The book is couched in very friendly, over explained, language, that wanders around to the point rather than just delivering the information in a straightforward manner.

2 out of 5 stars One in a million of reduced carbohydrate diet books.......2007-03-18

I found this book to be a good read. Eliminating sugar and increasing protein is helpful but is not the entire answer the problem of depression, and learned habits. This book has the foundation of many other reduced carb books, but with its own twist. Other books that are similiar, and are just as good but without the pretense are: the fat flush, the zone, atkins diabetes revolution, and you on a diet. The experience in the radiant recovery online community was one of bullying and put-downs, even by the author herself. She does not want anyone to speak out with any knowledge except those she has hand selected, who will follow her every command. The control even exists in her radiant cat group. So unless you have no thoughts or opinions I would steer clear and find another source for your nutrition wisdom. And those hand selected people are volunteers, not paid sheep. When she finds she cannot bully you into silence, she will act as if humble and admit she is not knowledgeable about a subject. Such as the amino acid content in vegetarian foods. An area that is within her so called area of expertise.

4 out of 5 stars Easy read........2007-01-26

This book is a quick summary of the eaerlier book Prozac or Potatoes, which has more details.
Enjoyable even though full of repetitions.

2 out of 5 stars Same old thing, different book.......2006-01-09

Well, while I enjoyed the biochemical explanations for sugar addiction, the 'diet' itself is like so many out there now. Basically, stay away from sugars and white foods (except for that potato).. It also seems to embody some of the glycemic index theories.. All in all, I wasn't impressed.. It's helped so many people though, it might be worth a shot for someone else.. GOOD LUCK!

2 out of 5 stars DesMaisons sold out.......2005-07-29

When I read Potatoes Not Prozac, I thought, "at last, a book on diet that doesn't focus on losing weight!" After all, food acts in the body in a much more complex way than simply making you lose or gain weight. Apparently DesMaisons decided to pick up on the weight-loss market and rewrite PnP for losing weight. I felt her style of explaining how I feel now and how I'm going to feel after doing her plan, little more than the common weight-loss testamonials you see in every second-rate diet advertisement. By the way, I have eliminated sugar from my diet and it has not "changed my life" or solved all my problems. The 4 billion dollar diet industry, which DesMaisons has become a part of with this book, banks on those types of claims.

Book Description

This reader says it best: 'Tony Evans explores the problem of Christians who continue to sin and who do not fully utilize the freedom they have received in Christ. He compares Satan to a plantation owner who knows that legally his slaves have been freed, but who tries to convince them that they'll never make it in this world without him. He says that sometimes we need to make it to rock bottom before we realize that 'Christ IS the Rock at the bottom.' This is a very inspiring and encouraging book, both for those who have not confessed Christ and for those who have been Christians for many years.

This is the most life-changing book I have read besides The Bible. Tony Evans explains God's grace in a way that made me understand it like I never have. Understanding God's tremendous love and grace toward us brings more peace than anything else.

4 out of 5 stars Good Deal.......2007-08-01

Book was received very quickly and in very good condition. This was a used book - and even the protective cover was clean and untorn.

5 out of 5 stars Solid Treatment of Liberty in Christ!.......2007-03-25

I especially admires Dr. Evans anecdotes to illustrate biblical truths. He has a handle on what it means to be free and enjoy new found liberty as a Christian. A great treatment on grace as well.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent and Thought-Provoking Read.......2006-01-03

Evans has written a book that provokes you to think like a true Christian should think like. While some of the concepts may not be new, it doesn't hurt to be reminded lest we fall into the old fleshly traps our sin nature wants us in.

Among the important points covered in the book include:

1. Be careful of defining your identity by your performance.
2. The devil cannot get to us unless we let him.
3. Instead of giving part of your life to Jesus, give all of your life to Him!
4. Living by faith, as defined as believing God at His Word, pleases God and will activate His power in your life.
5. Principles of walking in the Spirit.
6. A description of what the flesh is and defining what walking in the flesh is.
7. Instead of focusing on your feelings about your circumstances, focus instead on Jesus.
8. Do not buy into the devil's lie that your situation is hopeless or unchangeable.
9. Our self-sufficiency creates a hard shell around us that prevents Christ from completely shining through. Instead, we need to realize our true self-insufficiency.
10. God keeps Himself distant from proud, self-reliant people.

An excellent and highly recommended read. Enjoy and be encouraged in the Lord!

5 out of 5 stars Knowing Your Identity in Christ.......2005-06-07

In "Free at Last," pastor and theologian Tony Evans explains who Christians truly are in Christ. His essential point clarifies that the "old man" of Romans 6 is truly dead and that the believer is not two people (an "old man" and a "new man") simultaneously.

Evans further explains that the believer's battle against sin is not a battle between two equally powerful forces, or persons, or personalities. Rather, it is a battle between the one new person in Christ and the remnants of the old ways (the "flesh") learned prior to salvation. It's still a battle--but one eminently winnable through Christ who declares us "more than conquerors."

As the subtitle suggests, "Experiencing True Freedom through Your Identity in Christ," Evans uses biblical passages and current illustrations to reveal the new you--the true you in Christ. The message is encouraging, empowering, practical and thoroughly biblical.

      Book Description

      "From nearly two hundred centres, and every week added to their number, roared the unquenchable crimson conflagrations of the atomic bombs. The flimsy fabric of the world's credit had vanished, industry was completed disorganised, and every city, every thickly populated area was starving or trembled on the verge of starvation. Most of the capital cities of the world were burning; millions of people had already perished, and over great areas government was at an end."



      The Last War erupts in Europe, rapidly escalating from bloody trench warfare and vicious aerial duels into a world-consuming, atomic holocaust. Paris is engulfed by an atomic maelstrom, Berlin is an ever-flaming crater, the cold waters of the North Sea roar past Dutch dikes and sweep across the Low Countries. Moscow, Chicago, Tokyo, London, and hundreds of other cities become radioactive wastelands. Governments topple, age-old cultural legacies are destroyed, and the stage is set for a new social and political order.



      The Last War is H. G. Wells's chilling and prophetic tale of a world gone mad with atomic weapons and of the rebirth of human-kind from the rubble. Written long before the atomic age, Wells's novel is a riveting and intelligent history of the future that discusses for the first time the horrors of the atomic bomb, offering a startling vision of humanity purged by a catastrophic atomic war.

      2 out of 5 stars Surprisingly boring.......2007-04-02

      Herbert George Wells (1866-1946) is best remembered for his pioneering works in the field of science-fiction, most notably The Time Machine (1895), The Island of Doctor Moreau (1896), The Invisible Man (1897), and The War of the Worlds (1898). In point of fact, Mr. Wells fiction took him into speculation of how scientific discoveries would affect the future. In particular, his 1908 book, The War in the Air, was full of fascinating forward thinking.

      In this 1913 book (published in 1914), the author takes speculation he had read about the possibility of releasing energy from atoms, and writes about a future of atomic power and atomic weapons. The atomic weapons of this book make relatively small, but on-going (for centuries!) explosions. Plus, apparently at the time they knew little about the effects of radiation on living organisms. But, nonetheless, this is the very first story ever written about a nuclear war!

      So far so good. Unfortunately, by this time, H.G.'s fiction writing ability was in steep decline, and the best of his fiction was long behind him. The Last War: A World Set Free focuses less on the war than it does on humanity's embracing of socialism. Indeed, the book is less a work of science-fiction, than a polemic for socialism.

      So, am I saying that this book was no good, and you should avoid it? Well, I'm afraid that I am. In this story, Wells does not show a good grasp of where the world was headed, as the following quotation will show, "For long decades the combative side in human affairs had been monstrously exaggerated by the accidents of political separation." In point of fact, militarism, hatred, and murder stretch in an unbroken line from the Nazi Storm Troopers of yesteryear, to the suicide bombers of today.

      And, to make matters worse, this book is surprisingly boring for a book about nuclear war. Overall, I did not enjoy this book, and I do not recommend it. (I do, though, recommend Wells' The War in the Air.)

      3 out of 5 stars Socialist Wells writes about nuclear war.......2006-09-11

      By the time British author H.G. Wells got around to writing "The Last War," in 1914, the general public already recognized he was a master of science fiction. "The Time Machine," "The Invisible Man," "The War of the Worlds," and "The Island of Dr. Moreau" had all come out some twenty years before he penned this slim book about global atomic war and the subsequent restructuring of human civilization. Most readers today only remember Wells as an amazingly prescient science fiction author. He was, however, so much more. For example, he wrote a number of non-fiction pieces, perhaps the most important being his two-volume work "The Outline of History". First published in 1920 and an instant success with the public, Wells went on to revise his historical opus on several occasions--a sign of its enduring popularity. Moreover, and many people familiar with the author's name don't remember this little tidbit, Wells was an avowed socialist. I'd go so far as to call him a communist, especially after reading "The Last War". This look at nuclear cataclysm is less a triumph of science fiction and more a pamphlet used by Wells to espouse his socialist/communist belief system. I loathe communism.

      I don't, however, necessarily hate this book. The story starts out on a very powerful note, with Wells distilling the technological prowess and advancement of the human race down to a single chapter. According to the author, it is man's destiny to somehow harness a science that will replicate the power and intensity of the sun. Nuclear power! The breakthrough comes soon enough when a young man named Holsten figures out how to release the inner power of the atom in 1933. Benefits galore spring from the wonders of atomic power. Goodbye horse and buggy and steamships, hello atomic powered cars, airplanes, and ships. Mankind realizes a new age in transportation, industry, and myriad other facets of human existence as the atom becomes the centerpiece of technology. Unfortunately, humanity also starts building new weapons incorporating the new technology. Coupled with the capitalist system's failure to adapt to the demise of the industrial age, social unrest and general hostility flare up. Then the wars start, destructive wars involving millions upon millions of soldiers going head to head across the entire world. It's only a matter of time before the atomic bombs start dropping.

      Wells complicates things (and increases the deadly carnage) by making his atomic bombs devices that soldiers can throw by hand as well as drop by plane. Even worse, the warheads don't simply level cities; they continue to detonate for years afterwards, burrowing deep into the ground and spewing huge amounts of flame and radiation. Millions, if not billions, die in these atomic fires. Paris goes up in flames, as do Berlin, London, and most other big metropolitan centers around the world. Entire armies vanish off the face of the earth as the war turns into genocidal madness. In one instance, bombs dropped on the dams in Holland unleash floodwaters that kill hundreds of thousands in a few hours. Unleashing the power of the sun leaves civilization tottering on the brink of utter annihilation until a spark of sanity saves us at the last second. The remaining leaders of the world gather to create a single global government that will oversee the banning of atomic weapons and war. Too, this body promises to use technology to elevate mankind to a better existence. Those leaders still devoted to war quickly fall prey to the peacemakers, and the world government receives the support of the earth's war weary population.

      "The Last War," manages to put forth some gripping scenes of war despite its annoying socialist/communist message. Wells describes the destruction of Paris in gripping, memorable detail, down to the effects the explosion and radiation have on the human body. The destruction of the dams and the watery aftermath are pretty darn exciting as well. Most entertaining is the author's description of how the bombs work. He invents an element, Carolinum, to fuel his atomic devices. The core of the bomb reacts when introduced to open air, so a soldier or pilot must pull out a plug before throwing or dropping the warhead on enemy troops and cities. You certainly wouldn't want to drop that blazing sucker in your lap while flying a plane! The design of the bomb is absolute malarkey, but it's still amazing that Wells could visualize such devices and their ultimate use as a weapon as early as 1914. Scientists knew a bit about radiation and the power hidden in the atom before and during this time, but the real breakthroughs came in the 1930s, exactly the time in which Wells foresaw the beginning of the nuclear age.

      Sadly, the good parts of "The Last War" disappear under an avalanche of socialist agitprop. Wells can't resist slamming the capitalist system early on in the book, blaming it for creating conditions that lead to all-out nuclear conflict. Then there's the single world government stuff in the middle of the book. The really, REALLY scary stuff shows up in the final chapter. Set in a future far removed from the horrors of atomic war, Wells shows us the advances civilization has made without the threat of conflict hanging over its head. What's wrong with that? Nothing, except most of it resembles Soviet dogma of the 1920s through the 1950s. He talks about changing the very structures of the human mind and body as well as radical feminism that denies biological differences, among other things. Wells obviously believed in the malleability of the human mind and body, and that governments should work to bring about this new reality. That's exactly what Lenin, Stalin, and the rest of the killers over in the Soviet Union tried to do. They failed miserably. Give "The Last War" a chance, but beware of the Stalinist propaganda contained within.

      3 out of 5 stars The War To End All War.......2002-07-01

      "The Last War" is a novel by H.G. Wells which chronicles the end of civilization by atomic weapons. Like the alien invader theme (also pioneered by Wells), this premise has been used to death in countless books and films and reduced to cliche, but in 1914, when the novel was first published, the idea was completely new. Thirty-one years before Hiroshima and Nagasaki, H.G. Wells wrote the first novel about the effects of nuclear war.

      This edition of "The Last War" contains an informative introduction by Greg Bear, describing the social conditions that led to the book's publication, and a lot of background information about Wells himself.

      It could be said that "The Last War" is one of the only books where nuclear war proves to be a positive experience. Society is swept away, purged by fire, and a new civilization rises from the ashes of the old. This all happens in a relatively short time. Wells would use this theme again in "The Shape of Things To Come" (1933).

      "The Last War" is notable for its prophetic qualities (never mind that the atomic bombs are thrown by hand), but in parts the book can be rather dry. The story doesn't move at the same pace as "The War of the Worlds" or "The Time Machine", for example. Since the end of World War Two and the beginning of the Cold War, the glut of post-nuclear scenarios that followed have been more willing to portray the full horror that such a conflict would bring. In "The Last War" there is a feeling of detatchment, the sense one gets from reading a history book. The book deals more with events than characters.

      In summing up, H.G. Wells had no idea he was starting a genre that would become popular for years to come. The post-nuclear world is a place many writers have liked to visit and describe in detail. Wells saw it first.

        The high correlation between substance abuse and crime makes treatment for inmates a vital concern. Free at Last gives voice to those inmates who have escaped the prison of chemical dependency and offers a promise of hope to other inmates still bound by addiction. As Joe, serving a 45-year sentence, explains, "Even if I was never to get out of this prison, today I truly know I am free within."

          Book Description

          Although the heroism of last century's freedom marches will long be credited for ending racial discrimination, civil rights legislation owes much to work done more quietly in the district courtrooms of the South. This book expands our understanding of how the Voting Rights Act came about by focusing on several key cases in Alabama that paved the way for this landmark legislation.

          Brian Landsberg-himself a participant in many of these trials-argues that Department of Justice litigation contributed significantly to the content of the landmark 1965 Voting Rights Act. His close analysis of these trials shows how they helped pave the way for the dramatic expansion of federal power in combating racist enforcement of voting laws. Focusing on three out of the seventy voting rights cases filed between 1957 and 1965, he reveals how the DOJ, newly armed with authority to bring civil suits against voting discrimination, aggressively pursued its efforts to enforce the Reconstruction Amendments.

          These cases in Elmore, Sumter, and Perry counties helped to expose the chasm between the objectives of the Fifteenth Amendment and the practices of southern voter registrars-and the equally deep chasm between practices in the Deep South and those in the rest of the country. The VRA adopted many of the stringent remedies that emerged from these trials, including the appointment of federal officials to observe elections and maintain lists of eligible voters and the need for federal approval for changes in local voting procedures.

          Landsberg highlights a long-neglected but vitally important chapter in the history of the civil rights movement and puts a human face on the struggle for the right to vote, enhancing our understanding of the efforts blacks made to register, the doubts of even moderate whites, and the role of federal agents in protecting voter rights. His study is especially welcome in light of the controversy surrounding the VRA's recent renewal in 2006, which caught glimpses of the pre-VRA South, and current concerns over new and emerging forms of disenfranchisement.

          5 out of 5 stars Last Minute Meals for People with Diabetes.......2002-05-29

          This is for people on the go. If you're absolutely exhausted at the end of a busy day and literally "braindead"...then this book is for you! It's mainstream cooking at its best...using 6 ingredients or less per recipe. Whether you are diagnosed with diabetes, or just want to eat better by taking control of your carbohydrates and your health...and ALWAYS in a hurry, then you'll love this book. My goal was to develop recipes that would not tax the brain or require a lot of energy to prepare, but still provide great tasting meals. So I intentionally created and tested every recipe when I was tired...yes, really tired to be sure that they WERE really simple, really fast, really economical, and really easy to clean up! You CAN have normal food and still be in control of your health. Since these meals are for everyone, you'll be eating the same food as your family and friends. You won't feel singled out, you'll just feel extremely satisfied!! Try my Double Berry Pie...cook the filling a few minutes in a skillet and slide a "flat baked" prepared pie crust on top...a 15-minute,quick-fix skillet fruit pie...and the ingredients can always be kept on hand! So now you can enjoy eating...all over again! Have fun with it, I do!
