Although I did not buy this book as a collectors item, it was in like new condition. You could not readily notice any wear on it. Again, I am not a collector and there may be things a collector may observe differently, but as a gift for my wife it was excellent. The book arrived in a very timely manner.

This book is what one comes to expect from Henri Nouwen: simple, winsome, deep, and compassionate. I serve as a pastor and find his comments still contemporary, though they are the product of Nouwen’s contemplation of twenty years ago. Nouwen borrows not only the content, but the habit of desert wisdom in providing commentary that is brief and compelling. His invitation to follow in the practice of Abba Arsenius by embracing three movements (to flee, to keep silence, and to pray) is simply organized and powerfully presented. Nouwen’s description of the ‘compulsive minister’ is accurate in every detail and served to draw me into the lessons as if this book were written for me in particular. “The Way of the Heart” is directed at those who are engaged in the practice of ministry – but it’s lessons are easily applied to life outside the practice of ministry. I heartily recommend it to one and all.

I loved this book, and carry it with me every where I go. Due to heavy work schedule, I read a line or two between events and am facinated with the concept of this story line. Its for anyone who has postponed or have a deep sincere soul desire to break out of their complacency to bear fruit in their life as a soul winner. It is truly a remarkable book and I would love to meet Terri Blackstock or at least have her share how she came to write the book.

Very powerful vaccuum that sucks up everything, including the rug if you do not have the vaccuum adjusted high enough from the surface. After adjustments were made, the vaccuum was wonderful.

Pedometer arrived in excess shipping materials — looked like I ordered a tank — but in perfect shape. Other comment regarding clip not working well is noteworthy as I discovered the same problem. But it keeps great information, is easy to use, and what I wanted. Thank you.

Great! Just place it on the dashboard and it doesn’t move–no need to stick things on your windshield. Hide it under a seat.

I purchased the Hoover SteamVac after both store shopping and online shopping. I was looking for a product that could be used primarily on our carpets but also on our kitchen textured solid floor. We had become accustomed to scrubing the kitchen floor by hand to get it clean in the past. For our carpets, the Hoover SteamVac performed as well or better than the rented equipment we have used in the past. For the solid floor we were plesantly suprised that the small textured areas cleand up very well and we no longer need to do the floor by hand! I have used both the Hoover brand cleaners and also Rug Doctor’s Oxy spot spray. The unit vacumes up the water great, the carpet was dry in less that 24 hours.

My high school teacher forced my English class to read this book back in the late 1970’s but somehow I managed to avoid reading it – maybe I was visiting colleges or something at that time. In any case, about 6 years later I found myself alone and stranded in the Australian outback with absolutely nothing to do and nothing to read except a box of books that included most of the works by Mark Twain, John Steinbeck, Kurt Vonnegut and this one by Salinger. It was the first time in my life that I had ever delved into literature in any real way and I totally fell in love with Twain and Steinbeck and especially Vonnegut. But when it came to this Salinger thing, I couldn’t believe how boring it was, how irrelevant it seemed, how utterly phony its angsty rebelliousness seemed to be. I had grown up around tough kids who lived difficult lives when I was a kid and in Australia I had been working with roughnecks in the oil business, so this Salinger thing seemed pathetically trivial to me and its fame remained totally baffling to me. So about 8 years after that, I thought maybe I had missed something on the first read, so I read it again. And then I tried to re-read it for a third time about 5 years after that, but the effect was always the same. You call this angst? You’re telling me this is what rebellion feels like? I can only think that my English teacher and all those other teachers who think this is somehow profound really haven’t had much of a life, haven’t really plunged too far into the depths of human experience, haven’t really had to face difficult questions about existence and so forth. I’m sorry, but it’s just a boring book. And if you’re a teenager and your teachers are cramming this down your throat and you don’t get it no matter how hard you try, don’t sweat it: you’re not alone. Maybe this was mind-blowing stuff 60 years ago, but 25 years ago I thought it was just an over-hyped waste of time… and I still do. Maybe there’s a reason Salinger went i
