Review

It was obvious to me that I was learning cutting-edge information that would make me successful. I was so impressed that I signed up for the CEO Program and the Marketing Program and I gave notice to my employer. It was that clear, how I would be able to succeed, in a relatively short period of time, at realizing my dream of turning my side consulting company into a full-time, full-service Managed Services Provider. I know my business will be successful and I owe a large part of that success to the training and mentoring provided by the MSPU staff. Keep up the great work. –William Davis, President – Technology Consulting Services

The tools that you give us are incredible, and the way you’ve put this together to go out and do a presentation is the best I’ve ever seen. –Pam Tappan, Director of Sales – ANS Solutions

To find a company other than MSP University that provides this type of support for our industry specifically is nonexistent. I a (more…)

Why order pizza while discussing Barbara Ehrenrich’s Nickel and Dimed when you can eat like the characters in the book (Pasta on a Tight Budget)? Gardner, publisher of the bimonthly newsletter The Literary Gathering, plans out a year’s worth of books and menus for book clubs. The books (four per month) range from classic to contemporary, and encompass fiction and nonfiction; the accompanying themed menus are made up of generally uncomplicated fare. Gardner also includes discussion questions for each book. September honors Celebrate Banned Books Week, with suggestions for reading The Color Purple (and eating Southern foods, like Harpo’s Fountain 7 UP Cake). Some book choices are unusual (Geshundeit!, a health book by Patch Adams); others predictable (Angela’s Ashes, by Irishman Frank McCourt, in March; Gone with the Wind for February romance); and a few accompanying meal suggestions are a stretch (The Catcher in the Rye features some peripheral cha (more…)

Maria Tatar redefines the Grimm canon with this authoritative and entertaining collection. The Annotated Brothers Grimm celebrates the richness and dramatic power of the legendary fables in the most spectacular and unusual Grimm volume in decades. Containing forty stories in new translations by Maria Tatar—including “Little Red Riding Hood,” “Cinderella,” “Snow White,” and “Rapunzel”—the book also features 150 illustrations, many of them in color, by legendary painters such as George Cruikshank and Arthur Rackham; hundreds of annotations that explore the historical origins, cultural complexities, and psychological effects of these tales; and a biographical essay on the lives of Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm. Perhaps most noteworthy is Tatar’s decision to include tales that were previously excised, including a few bawdy stories and others that were removed after the Grimms learned that parents were reading the book to their children—stories about cannibalism in times of (more…)

The very first, and the most popular study of A.A.’s roots in the Bible. A.A. co-founder Dr. Bob had often stated during his lifetime that the basic ideas of A.A. were taken from their study of the Bible. So too that the Book of James, the sermon on the mount, and 1 Corinthians 13 were absolutely essential to the early program. He said that the answers to their problems were in the Good Book (as he called the Bible). This book explores every observable source and appearance of Bible ideas in the Big Book which Bill Wilson wrote four years after A.A. was founded. It has become a regular shelf item among those who believe in God, understand the importance of the Bible, diligently seek to apply the teachings of Jesus Christ in the march to sobriety and a life of love of service thereafter. The book is a page-turner for those who, like the author at first, had never realized the specific sources of A.A. in the Bible, and the specific Bible language in A.A.’s basic text, ta (more…)
