It sounds unequivocally quirky to call a Christian a Quistian until you meet Tommy Galloway. No one that has ever lived, loves alliteration more than he. Through a unique book of quotes, musings, and wisdom, the author shares timeless truths from Scripture to inspire Christians to face the challenges of their daily lives with the faith to overcome them. Pastor Tommy encourages readers with creative and eloquent thoughts and ideas that allow believers to see God's Word in a new light and brighten their devotional time with this fun and informative book of spiritual teaching. The book's introduction is very attention-grabbing and interesting. The author begins with a unique line about comparing an unprepared Christian to a chicken, which sets the tone for the author's use of illustrative language that takes shape throughout the book. The author combines accurate scriptural teaching with wisdom learned from personal experience, allowing the reader to understand the practical applications of the author's work. The author also builds trust with the reader by opening up in honesty and vulnerability about these personal experiences. The authors spiritual thoughts within the text are expressed creatively, with age-old wisdom shared in new, fresh, and insightful ways. Also, the short length of some of the author's quotes are very catchy and make them easy for readers to remember and memorize.

Unlike the myriad writing manuals that emphasize grammar, sentence structure, and other skills necessary for entry-level editing jobs, this engaging book adopts a broader view, beginning with the larger topics of audience, mission, and tone, and working its way down, layer by layer, to the smaller questions of grammar and punctuation. Based on Michael Evans's years of experience as an editor and supplemented by invaluable observations from the editors of more than sixty magazines--including The Atlantic, Better Homes and Gardens, Ebony, Esquire, and National Geographic--this book reveals the people-oriented nature of the job.

When a ship's surgeon during a routine episode of bloodletting noticed that the sailors' blood was brighter in the tropics than in the north, he hypothesized that heat was a form of energy. When a young boy tried to visualize how a beam of light would look like by riding alongside it at the same speed, he began thinking along lines that eventually changed our views of space and time. When a student caught hay fever and went to recover on Heligoland, he started a major revolution in physics. These are but just some of the stories covered in this entertaining book that deals with the history of physics from the end of the 19th-century to about 1930. Quips, Quotes and Quanta (2nd Edition) is unique in that it contains anecdotes on physicists creating new ideas. Often the thinking of the creators of what is now called "modern physics" is revealed through quotes. Thematic and biographical in nature, this book also includes many personal incidents. This second edition has been revised to include new material: a prologue, epilogue, glossary and chronology, and photograph's as well as additional quotes and anecdotes.
