Good Blocking and Tackling.......2007-03-24
Book has a no nonsense, easy to apply approach that every current and future insurance agent should read!
Excellent book.......2007-02-06
This is a must read for anyone starting out in the insurance business. In spite of its brevity, I found it to contain very specific, insightful, actionable information. It was useful to me immediately and I highly recommend it.
CSR is the key.......2006-06-24
I wish the author would of talked a little more about the "system" of an agency and not just "hire a CSR" as the key. He was very postivie in his words but not as informative to commission splits and hiring new "sales people" for the agency.
EXCELLENT.......2006-03-13
Very easy to follow - excellent information! Is used as a training book for some agencies.

Book Description
Despite early failures, R. G. LeTourneau rose to eminence in the competitive world of manufacturing and construction. Although his competitors thought him insane, history has proved that his inventive genius was decades ahead of its time. His combination of enterprise and Christian commitment led to his sponsoring many works involving missions and education, including LeTourneau College, a Christian liberal arts and technical school in Longview, Texas. Through a lifetime of business ventures, this engineering genius put faith into action and reaped big rewards. (More than 100,000 in print)

can't stop reading!.......2007-03-11
I could not put this book down. What a great book! One reviewer said to buy a second book to give away. I did, but I should have bought several extras! Now I'm buying more. This book has helped me to recognize God's purpose for my life and the incredible gifts He has given to each of us. A great gift for anyone, especially for someone who has ever been in the construction industry.
Fantastic Book!.......2007-01-22
This was one fantastic book that I could hardly put down. It is a great story of a man with dreams that were larger then life. He always said there are no big jobs, only small machines. Mr. LeTourneau had the capacity to envision larger and larger machines to make man more productive.
This book is 290 pages short with 26 untitled chapters which cover most of Mr. LeTourneau's life. From his childhood and quiting school in the 7th grade to his struggles and almost bankruptcy, he does a great job at unfolding his life the way it happened. He tells of how his business grew during the depression and of the great success he had in creating machines to do a job that none had done before. He was laughed at by people who couldn't see the value in some of his gigantic creations which were ahead of their time. But he didn't allow other people's negativity stop him from accomplishing his goal of benefiting man by making him far more productive then he would have been otherwise.
He talks about his relationship with God and how he believed that God was with him to protect him and help him to succeed. LeTourneau lived his beliefs by helping others and starting a school called LeTourneau Collage. He had given 90% of his stock in his business to a foundation he started for the benefit of others. He is not overpowering with this but just lets his beliefs take a natural course through the book.
Overall I think anyone would really enjoy this book. It really was one of the more interesting biographies I have read. His life again proves that it doesn't matter what kind of education you have or where you are financially, the only thing that can stop you from fulfilling your dreams is yourself!
Mover of Men & Mountains.......2007-01-09
A must-read for every Christian, and a great tool for ministry.
Blessings to Amazon!
What an incredible life story!.......2006-05-23
The first time I read Movers of Men and Mountains was when I started my undergrad work at LeTourneau University. I have since purchased probably ten copies because mine keep getting "borrowed". Go ahead and order two while you're ordering so you'll always have one to keep while sharing!
Everyone should read this book. Mr. LeTourneau is such an incredible inspiration to us all. The story is fantastic, the book is witty and interesting, and the message is life-changing.
Great Read.......2005-06-13
As a LeTourneau University Graduate, I felt compelled to read this book so I could learn more about the man who founded my school. I was impressed by the things he accomplished, witnessed, and experienced in his life. The flow of the book was great and I had trouble putting it down. Truly this man is an inspiration to all men of faith who feel they should do more for God in the workplace.
Book Description
Men of Iron, Birds of Steel The story of the air war in Vietnam is really the story of the jet pilots, the "fast movers" who took on hostile MiGs and surface-to-air missiles to carry the war to the enemy. In this book, author John Sherwood, official historian at the U.S. Naval Historical Center in Washington, D.C., draws on more than 300 revealing interviews with these courageous pilots and their crews, offering an in-the-cockpit perspective on the Vietnam experience never before possible. He profiles fourteen notable aviators, including such top aces as Col. Robin Olds, Steve Ritchie, Ed Raimus, and John B. "Pirate" Nichols, members of an elite brotherhood of air warriors, whose superb fighting skills and charismatic leadership spurred their fellow aviators to outstanding feats of heroism and sacrifice.From flying through walls of flak in Operation Rolling Thunder to how it feels to be hit by a SAM to the crushing ordeal of capture and imprisonment in the infamous "Hanoi Hilton," every aspect of air combat in Vietnam comes powerfully to life. Fast Movers celebrates these men and their aircraft, chronicling an aspect of the Vietnam conflict too long overlooked. Includes an 8-page photo insert!AUTHORBIO: John Darrell Sherwood is an official historian at the U.S. Naval Historical Center in Washington, D.C., and the author of the award-winning book, Officers in Flight Suits, which tells the remarkable story of the Korean air war. He lives in Washington, D.C.
Download Description
The American air war over Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia spanned twenty-five years. The United States dropped more than eight million tons of bombs and lost more than 8,588 aircraft. More than half the money spent during the war went to air operations. Yet this "war of the skies" has remained one of the least examined and understood aspects of that long conflict.
In Fast Movers, John Sherwood, a staff historian of the U.S. Navy, focuses on fourteen pilots, including legendary aces Robin Olds and Steve Richie, and provides the most revealing look we have ever had of the war and its aviators. From their first missions to their years as POWs, Sherwood lets these men tell their engrossing stories and shows how and why, in contrast to the soldiers on ground, they never lost the will to fight.
Fast Movers is a penetrating examination of the warriors who always put their squadron first.
Customer Reviews:
Better than Top Gun.......2005-05-11
I know next to nothing about jet fighters, the air force or the air war in Vietnam. I found this book to be an extremely interesting and entertaining read. Unlike some military books, the author assumes no prior knowledge of the subject. The strengths and weaknesses of the different planes and the resulting tactics required to fly them are explained in simple terms. This really gives a good feel for what it was like to fly the different planes covered in the book.
Each chapter deals with a different type of fighter and focuses on a specific pilot who flew that plane. Perhaps the characteristics of the different pilots are slightly exaggerated for effect. Who cares? It makes for a great read. Another thing I appreciated was the fact that all aspects of the airwar are covered, including the less glamorous ones like Medivac or POWs.
Highly recommended to all readers.
An Important and Sobering Book.......2005-04-05
I was loaned this book by a friend because of my interest in aviation and my work as a docent at an Air Museum near my winter home in Arizona. I had expected it to talk about the planes and pilots of the Viet Nam War, but I did not expect the eye opening experience that this book turned out to be. John Sherwood steps on some toes in this book and as a result some of the reviews herein reflect personal displeasure when his stories come too close to home or cut too close to the bone. I found the book to be a sobering experience and one which awoke much of the anger that many of us felt about how this war was conducted, not only by the generals, but more especialy by the politicians all the way up to LBJ. The fact that we dropped eight million tons of bombs in SE Asia and lost over 8,500 planes and helicopters without winning the war is an unsettling fact. However, bombs do not deliver themselves and real people were in those planes and helicopters and a great many of them lost their lives in this mishandled piece of business. It is the spirit of those that fought, even when their hands were tied by the ones in charge with foolish rules of engagement that is at the heart of the story that is told. It is not a pretty story. It is often a story of the raw underbelly of war, but it is a story that needed to be told and John Sherwood, an official U.S Naval Historian tells it without fear or favor. Had the war been managed in that fashion, the outcome would have been much different. He has my gratitude for doing it.
Poor history.......2002-01-18
I have read several books of this type and though this one provides quite specific details, they turn out to be quite different from other books. Sometimes I feel like the author making new stuff for the fun of the readers (for example the battle of the air force on May 10 1972). Another thing is that this one purely tells stories rather making deep analysis about the airwar, the formations, and technical issues. Better spend your money on "Clashes" of Marshal L. Michel III.
John Sherwood tells their story well........2000-07-29
The air war over Southeast Asia showcased the proud, dedicated Americans who unselfishly did what was asked of them. This group, highly motivated though they were, was unfortunately misused and mismanaged by the very government that sent them there. True or not, many still feel that if they had been allowed to do what they had been trained for, most of their friends would still be alive, and Vietnam would not be seen as a "loss." Indeed, the common retort was "We were winning when I left."
The new book Fast Movers: Jet Pilots and the Vietnam Experience takes a hard look at some of those men and what ultimately inspires them. Author John Sherwood, official historian of the U.S. Naval Historical Center, is well suited to bring this long-overdue book to the public. He realized that most books dealt only with air war tactics. Few examined the warriors themselves. With over 300 interviews and extensive research, Sherwood attempts to reveal the personal side of these pilots. Contrary to most opinions, these men wanted to be there, to test themselves against the most hostile environment ever designed. They were the "fast movers", those who flew jet fighters and attack aircraft. In all, 14 pilots are examined here: some Air Force and some Navy, some famous and some not. Whether battling the North Vietnamese defenses or trying to survive in such places as the Hanoi Hilton, these military professionals proved they had "the right stuff." John Sherwood tells their story well.
Robert S. DeGroat, Flight Journal
a new look at the air war in SEA.......2000-06-23
Official Air Force books told us on typical operational history: units, battles,.. facts, figures. John Sherwood looks at the fighter pilots life, their flying skills and attitudes. He draws from memories or interviews with some Air Force pilots including such famous figures as Olds, Ritchie.. John Sherwood opens a new perspective on the air war in SEA. He brings you from operation room to the cockpit and back on the airbase with the after hours activities: Officers Club , and sometime he adds a touch of female companionship. John Sherwood has written an excellent book on the social life of fighter pilots during the Vietnam war. This book is a must for any SEA conflict student.

Product Description
This study covers the world outlook for complete winches for mounting on wheel and crawler tractors and other prime movers across more than 200 countries. For each year reported, estimates are given for the latent demand, or potential industry earnings (P.I.E.), for the country in question (in millions of U.S. dollars), the percent share the country is of the region and of the globe. These comparative benchmarks allow the reader to quickly gauge a country vis-à-vis others. Using econometric models which project fundamental economic dynamics within each country and across countries, latent demand estimates are created. This report does not discuss the specific players in the market serving the latent demand, nor specific details at the product level. The study also does not consider short-term cyclicalities that might affect realized sales. The study, therefore, is strategic in nature, taking an aggregate and long-run view, irrespective of the players or products involved.

Product Description
Family Testament is about us. It answers questions we each have asked, such as what law do I live now and where do I go from here? What law and disciplines govern my family altitude? Just what is Celestial living? What constitutes manhood and womanhood? Why are we called brother and sister? What do fathers and mothers have to do with eternal life? Why are little children so important? The family is under attack in todays world and answers to these and many other questions are vital to every family member. Satan has counterfeited the family in an effort to subvert the plan and laws that govern our stay in mortality. The likeness of the celestial family is given us by Jesus Christ and the attributes of that family are like blocks of solid stone that we can use to build a wall around our homes to keep the false ideals of the world out. Family Testament is a compliment to the Proclamation given by the First Presidency and Council of the Twelve Apostles on the family and supports and amplifies all statements made in that document. Our relationship to our heavenly parents and to each other in this life is central to success and happiness in mortal life and progress in the life to come in eternity. The Celestial home is a temple, and we learn that living the seven temple qualities of family living can bring the likeness of temple sanctity into our homes. This book promotes those measures designed to maintain and strengthen the family as the fundamental unit of our society and is a witness to the truth of the Creators plan for the eternal destiny of His children. (A Proclamation to the World, The First Presidency and Council of the Twelve Apostles of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints)

Book Description
Gulmash watched as twilight deepened. He waited. He hated waiting, but knew it would give them a much-needed advantage. Humans were much larger than they were, and on average, much stronger. Their only advantages were that they were quick and quiet, and their eyes worked better after the sun went down. Gulmash sometimes dreamed that his ancestors had lived in great underground caverns, ruling all the lands from such places. This is why, he believed, they could see when the humans could not. He snapped himself out of his pointless musings. It was dark enough. He motioned for the warriors to follow, and he and Mag-Navat moved toward the half-completed wall. . .

Great book, more than some reviews would let on........2005-12-12
I've known about this book for some time and have always brushed it aside because I had heard about the anthropomorphic wolves in it. What I came to realize is that yes, there is a race of wolves that walk on their hind legs, have hands, can use tools and weapons, and speak, but that is not the end all be all of the book. These wolves represent the outcasts of society just as modern day wolves are the outcasts of the animal world. We drive them from their hunting lands and relegate them to the mountains. We fear them and hunt them down out of that fear. Elizabeth Blackson has masterfly blended this animalistic tale with the human fear of anything different from the norm into a captivating story of greed, adventure, religious zealotry, and everyone's fight for survival in this cruel world. I cannot wait for a sequel to be published.
