Review by Allison Locklear for Winsor Pilates Bun and Thigh Sculpting - Sculpt Your Body Slim (DVD) Rating: This is dvd addresses areas of your body that normally are not worked out enough in other pilates dvd's (I have a TON!). It is basically no impact and very easy on your joints, feet, and ankles but you will feel a BURN in your buttocks as you are doing these exercises. Mari is VERY encouraging and makes you feel like you will see a difference very quickly (which I have!). The dvd is only about 18 or 19 mins. long so you can easily fit it in your day. It is basically 8-9 minutes on each side. Time will go by very quickly while your are doing this dvd. I love it! I use it almost every day now.

Review by Rebeca A. Collazo for Winsor Pilates Bun and Thigh Sculpting - Sculpt Your Body Slim (DVD) Rating: This DVD is wonderful. If you do the exercises correctly it will reshape your buttocks in record time. I have a JLo type of body and it made my butt smaller, rounder and tighter in a few weeks. The exercises HURT LIKE HELL, but the pain is all worth it.

Review by Elisa for Winsor Pilates Bun and Thigh Sculpting - Sculpt Your Body Slim (DVD) Rating: This is my favorite of all the Winsor Pilates workouts. The routine includes well known Pilates exercises like leg lifts and heel taps, but then Mari Winsor manages to increase the thigh and butt work with her signature thigh-focused series. This workout really delivers what it promises, a higher "rear view" and more toned, slimmer thighs. I LOVE this workout because you can get great results doing it just 2-3 times a week, and it's just 20 minutes long. Definitely recommended for pear-shaped gals.

Comment on Acts of Pilate: And Ancient Records Recorded by Contemporaries of Jesus Christ Regarding the Facts Concerning His Birth, Death, Resurrection by Jeffrey E Ellis

Review by Jeffrey E Ellis for Acts of Pilate: And Ancient Records Recorded by Contemporaries of Jesus Christ Regarding the Facts Concerning His Birth, Death, Resurrection Rating: These ancient documents, preserved for hundreds of years in their original language deep within the Vatican, corroborate the Biblical accounts of Jesus' trial, crucifiction, and resurrection. Some of the writings are straightforward reports of the period, like Josephus' writings. The author takes enormoous pains to establish their authenticity in traceable steps as well as his credentials for finding and publishing these documents.Some of the accounts are truly astonishing. Pilate wrote a full description of the "Jesus issue" to Ceaser. He describes how he wept at the sight of bent and broken Joseph of Arimethia ascending Pilate's steps, stained with the blood of Jesus, asking for the dead body of his friend and Lord.Caiaphas gives two accounts of his actions to the Sanhedrin. In the latter, he describes himself locked in his bedroom, studying the scriptures for prophecies concerning the Messiah. Suddenly, the resurrected Jesus appears before him and offers him salvation if he would but believe in the risen son of God. Caiaphas is convicted and forlorn. He resigns his position as high priest, unable to perform its functions with honor and integrity. Was he saved at the last?Pilate writes to Ceaser that he had dispatched 100 Roman soldiers to stand guard over Jesus' tomb. "The very event they were supposed to prevent," he said, "they became witnesses to." What a profound illustration!These accounts are compelling, believable,and illuminating of the Biblical accounts. The book is fun and edifying to read.

Review by Daniel Wathen for Acts of Pilate: And Ancient Records Recorded by Contemporaries of Jesus Christ Regarding the Facts Concerning His Birth, Death, Resurrection Rating: This really isn't a book from an author's particular point of view. It is a compilation of eye witness accounts of contemporaries of Jesus translated into English from the original languages. It contains accounts from friends and family of Jesus, Jewish religious people and Roman government authorities. I believe this book to be very reliable.

Comment on Acts of Pilate: And Ancient Records Recorded by Contemporaries of Jesus Christ Regarding the Facts Concerning His Birth, Death, Resurrection by Demon Teddy Bear

Review by Demon Teddy Bear for Acts of Pilate: And Ancient Records Recorded by Contemporaries of Jesus Christ Regarding the Facts Concerning His Birth, Death, Resurrection Rating: This book is a notorious fraud from the 19th century. It pretends to be contemporary accounts of the death etc of Jesus. Actually they're all bogus. The editor expanded this book into the 'Archko' volume, but was caught because he created some of his 'ancient' documents by copying verbatim from the novel 'Ben Hur'. The motive appears to have been money, and the intended victims rural Christians with no way to check his claims. Full details are available in E.J.Goodspeed's "Strange New Gospels", which is online. In the late 19th century a fair few people had a go at making money this way, targetting different groups. Mahan's effort is the only one still circulating, but Goodspeed details a collection of them.

Review by Virgil Brown for Acts of Pilate: And Ancient Records Recorded by Contemporaries of Jesus Christ Regarding the Facts Concerning His Birth, Death, Resurrection Rating: It is too bad that the Reverend W.D. Mahan really did not shelter a Mr Whydaman in the winter of 1856 who really had seen the documents found in Mahan's book. It would be wonderful to read an authentic interview of the Three Shepherds. It would be wonderful to read an authentic report of Pontius Pilate to Caesar. And it would be wonderful to read the report of Caiaphas concerning the execution of Jesus... if these documents were authentic. _The Acts of Pilate_ begins with transcripts of letters between Mahan and Whydaman wherein Mahan pretends to procure transcripts of copies from the Vatican. Mahan did his homework fairly well. He includes some authentic details. However there are some flaws as noted by Edgar John Goodspeed in _Strange New Gospels_ (pub 1931).

Comment on Crunch – Burn & Firm Pilates by Anonymous

Review by for Pilates - Intermediate Mat Workout [VHS] Rating: I was interested in Pilates and wanted a challenging, yet, easy to follow tape. I am easily bored and often ditch workout tapes after only a few weeks.Not having used the Beginner's tape, I went ahead and just ordered the Intermediate one. I found that it was really easy to follow, the directions clear yet not overly simplified, and most importantly it kept by attention.I've been using the tape several times a week and notice a change in the waist line (I have one now) and how my clothes fit.The only drawback is the length of the tape (only about 30 minutes after all the intro chit-chat is done). I do start to "glow" while using this tape and I think if it were at least 45 minutes then it would be better. But then again, you can just do some of the exercises longer.If you are interested in pilates, then I'd recommend this tape.
