CONTENT AND SUMMARY: There are some twisting instructions, but this is primarily a source for using simple balloons in ministry. The Saint Peter skit, for example, requires no twisting at all, just inflated 260s.
REVIEWER'S PERSONAL OPINION. Although not really a twisting book, it has some great ideas and routines for getting a message across. Ralph is a genius at turning any balloon creation into a way to share the message. I learned to twist at a Sunday School conference and went home with three of Ralph's books. I would strongly recommend him anything he does for beginners.
STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES: As always, Ralph's illustrations are excellent and he has great suggestions. I wish there was more of his great stuff in these books.
WHAT I LIKED AND DIDN'T LIKE: I like the simplicity and ease of Ralph's messages. I think he could have cut down on some of the rhetoric and added more routines.
