He had his ups and downs, musically and politically, but Prokofiev made a (mostly) positive mark on the music of the 20th century. This volume from Dover Publications, reprinted from various Soviet publishing houses, offers four of his most popular works: Peter and the Wolf, the Lieutenant Kije Suite (with rarely-if-ever-heard vocal parts), the Classical Symphony, and the cantata Alexander Nevsky. Although the markings and, in Peter, the narration are given in Russian and English, the vocal lines are in Cyrillic only.This is a bargain for students of Prokofiev. ... Read more

Book Description
In 1978 David Wojnarowicz took a series of photographs of a man wearing a paper mask bearing the face of Arthur Rimbaud, the French poet. Wojnarowicz was 24 when he shot most of the Rimbaud in New York series, and the urban situations in which he poses the masked figure represent a specific moment in history: post-Stonewall but pre-AIDS, a land of sex, drugs, art, love, and wondrous bohemian existence. When a few pictures from the series were published in the Soho Weekly News in 1980, they were the first of his works to make it into print. This volume reproduces for the first time, the series in its entirety. ... Read more

Incredible Rump by Dan Roth

Setting: The automobile showroom of Ross Motors. 2m

Plot Summary: Two car salesmen, Dave and Jim, try to figure out why Dave is not meeting his monthly sales quota. We learn that the dwindling sales figures are directly attributable to Dave's appearance as an actor in a friend's musical satire INCREDIBLE RUMP. The play, based on Rumplestilskin, has some dark moments but, as Dave says, "it has a happy ending."

Helpful for all Marriages, including Remarriages

This book was compiled by editors at Group Publishing, drawn from material written by Les and Leslie Parrot, David and Lisa Frisbie, and Doyle Roth. Each of the primary contributors furnishes a chapter; other sections of the book are drawn from input, ideas and suggestions that the authors furnished.

Very helpful for premarriage counseling (Les and Leslie Parrot) and also highly useful in preparing for remarriage (David and Lisa Frisbie). Each of these couples are acknowledged experts in their respective fields. Each of these couples has written numerous books in their subject areas.

Doyle Roth furnishes excellent material related to marriage counseling. I am not familiar with Roth's background or other writing, but his work here is well-organized and well-written.

This volume is a "handbook" or "guidebook" that deserves a place on the shelves of every counselor, rabbi, minister or pastor who works with married couples and/or remarried couples and blended families.

Even for counselors
This was a gift for a friend who is going into Christian Counseling, and even though this may not be marketed as such, it seems that it would be a plus for the Christian counselor.There are suggestions on nights together and getaways.For a little more spiritual depth, suggestions are given for "Spiritual Retreat Ideas."Also there are chapters on strengthening marriages and families and a section on couples' bible studies.Specifically for the counselor are sections on "Ideas for Starting Marriages Right" (could be used in premarital counseling), helping marriages through "rocky times," and ministering to those going through a divorce; and section twelve is entitled "Marriage Counseling."

Product Description
In Oops! I Forgot My Wife, Doyle Roth puts his 30-plus years of counseling experience into the story of a guy named Mitch. A guy who is so bad at "husbanding" that he wakes up one morning king of an empty castle. On the brink of divorce, he learns what love is really all about. Told through the exchange of emails, Mitch's story is about real marriage, flaws and all. It's not pretty or sanitized, but if you're willing to examine your own heart you'll see the truth in it and benefit greatly from his story.

In this abridged audio version of the original book, professional actors breath life into Roth's art-imitating-life tale of mariage, self-centeredness and commitment. Listen in as Mitch, Stacy, Gerry, and the other characters in this audio book struggle with the issues of fidelity, intimacy, spirituality, God, and what it means to be a man and woman in holy matrimony. The main character, cowboy-turned-preacher Carter, is performed with sincerity and authenticity by the author. ... Read more

Eye Opening Truth
A book for every couple to read.It truly opens your eyes to how easy it is for men and women to grow apart.At the same time, it provides some simple "rule of thumb" type applications that can make a huge difference in your relationship.Cause a huge paradigm shift for me.The e-mail setting for the writing style was fantastic.

This book'sa marriage saver!
This book is not only challenging and educational, it's enjoyable too.It's obvious that Doyle Roth made a concious effort to make it humorous, witty, and easy to read.What's missing from it, thank goodness, is all the shrink-speak and psycho-babble you normally get with this subject matter.Mr. Roth dares you to love your wife the way Jesus loved His bride, the church.If you read this book, you will find yourself in a state of self-reflection asking yourself how you can be a better, more-loving and less self-certered husband.

A definite MUST read!!
This book has life changing potential.If you are married or know anyone who is this is a must read for you.The presentation of the material is in story format, which makes it not only an easy and entertaining read but also a very educational and informative read.It confronts the everyday issues that will tear relationships apart and offers solutions to help out.It is full of humor and heart, it will touch you and make you want to be a better person, to love more, and to love better.It will challenge you to be a better spouse and to encourage others around you to do the same.Grab a copy quick and get ready to read, because once you get started you won't want to put it down. ...
