Book Description
Calendars in the Dead Sea Scrolls explores the evidence about the different uses of time-measurement in the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Hebrew Bible and other ancient Jewish texts. James C. VanderKam examines the pertinent texts, their sources and the different uses to which people put calendrical information in the Christian world. He argues that the scrolls indicate that a dispute about the correct calendar for dating festivals was one of the principal reasons for the separation of the authors of the scrolls from Jewish society. ...

A great work, that brings Wolfgang back to us
A quite detailed and very well written work. I can give practically no critics, you don't need to know anything about Mozart to read this book, becaue it is very informative. I don't recommend it to unpatient fellows though, for they would soon get bored. Really brings Wolfgang Mozart back to life...

Many thanks are due to my music teacher
She suggested I read this book (she knew I afored reading WAY more than piano lessons) and I was particularly not a Mozart fan.Although it doesn't say it in the book, I'm convinced he had 16 fingers on 1 hand and 12 on the other to make the chords he did.Still not a fan of playing anything Mozart, but a total fan of this book.The characters lept from the page and the historical setting helped me grasp what was happening at the time.I highly recommend it while litening to a little Ein Klein Nightmusik

the indepth look at the private life of W.A. Mozart
This book tops any account of Mozart's life. It is more of a historical novel than a simple time-line of the events.

More in-depth story of Mozart's life than Amadeus.
Focuses more on the early life of Mozart.His early concepts of ALL sounds as music, and the joy of hearing that vast pallette of sounds he later used in his music.His inner thoughts and dreams about music develop as he gets older.His love of his family and his love ofmusic at odds with each other, pulling him first one way then another, but music always his overpowering first love, ultimately leading to his premature death. ...

Time to Celebrate
Invaluable guide to the turning year from the grandmother of womens' spirituality in the U.S. Includes several holidays from ancient traditions for every month of the year, and offers beautiful rituals that honor the earth. Simple rites that anyone can do alone or with friends. I've used mine so much it's falling apart, finding inspiration in the coldest winter, in the hottest summer, plus lots of little-known facts about the origin of holidays.

I love this book.....
It is not a book that you have to read cover to cover in that order but a seasonal book that gives you ideas to incorporate into your own personal practice.

The Grandmother of Time
I have studied the wiccan path for a number of years on my own but only recently have been fortunate to have the guidance of an excellent teacher who recommended this book. I have enjoyed what this book has added to my teachings and to my everyday activities.

The grandmother of time
A very special book, that gives ideas for feasts and holidays through the year. Every month begins with a Goddess who tells the story of that month, and then the days of the month follow with feast for all kinds of Goddesses. The nice part of this book is that there are so many different feasts and Goddesses, everyone can find a Goddess of her liking here.
The only thing that I can say against this book is that sometimes the historical information is not correct, due to Budapest's overwhelming feminism, that gets a bit irritating after a while.

Z Budapest is a legend
Z Budapest is the founding mother of the women's spirituality movement. Her Dianic craft is a lovely religious tradition which teachesus harmony with nature and human beings. Her book became an instant classic. Please treat yourself to this work. ... Read more

Without a specific religion to provide structure and offer guidance, it is difficult to create a spiritual discipline much less practice one. Even those who go to church and synagogue appreciate suggestions as to how they can help their spirituality overlap with their everyday existence. Responding to this longing, Elizabeth Neeld offers a primer--packed with ideas and inspirational recommendations for creating stillness and soul-tending devotion in daily living. Although the intention is not a new one--plenty of authors have cashed in on the "everyday sacred" premise--Neeld's suggestions are original and eloquent, and reflect years of research rather than a whimsical, hot-selling idea. Chapters include "Encouraging a Spiritual Attitude," "Experiencing the Sacred," "Praying with Words," and "Surviving the Windstorms." At the end of each chapter, Neeld suggests specific tasks for helping the human more easily meet the divine. --Gail Hudson ... Read more

OOOHHHMMM
If you need a little peace of mind but don't know quite how to go about it, this is the book for you.I have given it to many friends as a gift.I was buying hardcover copies from used book stores, but it has now been reprinted in paperback.Feel the force!

Everyone deserves the fruits of this read!
My husband and I were introduced to A Sacred Primer through a retreat given by Elizabeth Harper Neeld at the Cenacle in Houston Texas.The book comes alive in a very special way when this grounded, gracefilled womanshares herpersonal experiences of her spiritual practice as well as theexperiences of historical and contemporary believers in The Divine.Myhusband and I are following the example of another couple who are readingthe book together in an "allowable" mode.We expect to besurprised as together we read, reflect, and receive.We look forward withanticipation to other works (and retreats)from this gifted scholar.

A Sacred Primer was a joy to read
Elizabeth Harper Neeld's book, A SACRED PRIMER is food for the soul. The book shows the author's understanding of the spiritual and the Divine. The book was filled with refreshing ideas for rejuvinating the soul and theheart. I enjoyed the commentaries at the end of the chapters and I amrecommending this book to others.I look forward to more insight from thisgifted writer.

I'm already four weeks into my own spiritual practice!
Isn't the proof always in the pudding?After many other attempts over the years, Elizabeth Neeld seems to provided me with what I needed.Combining her own refreshingly real experience with a rich quotations from diversesources and a multi-faceted format that touchedmuch more than myintellect, I found Sacred Primer to be a fascinating read.But the mostwonderful surprise has shown up in my own life -- I'm actually applyingwhat I've read and reaping the benefits already.PS I've already given SPto many family and friends and I hear the same from them.

What a blessing this book was! A must read for sacred time!
A Sacred Primer by Elizabeth Neeld is truly inspiring. I think the cover even invokes peace! What a find for help in my sacred quiet time. I learned much. Mainly, there is no right way. It was so good to read insights andexamples. It is so nicely done-Oprah should read it!It even includesJournal ideas! I believe the book was "God Inspired" and haverecommended it to all my friends.Thanks Amazon for offering it! ... Read more
