Small Miracles: Extraordinary Coincidences from Everyday Life39 reviews
Yitta Halberstam, Bernie S. Siegel

Adams Media Corporation, 1997

enjoyable, heartwarming, universal, read a story every night
I found this unique book of coincidences to be remarkable. While the authors relate it to Jewish principles, giving a moral or rule at the end of each 'episode,' their statements are applicable to those of all faiths. There were short, short stories, short stories and those a few pages long. But all showed the positive human spirit that exists in everyone of us if we give ourselves a chance and ... 		  
  







  
  
Coming Into the Country28 reviews
John McPhee

Bantam Books, 1982

A trip around Alaska in the 70's
I traveled to Alaska in 2006 but lived there in the early 70's. Why I delayed so long in reading "Coming into the Country" I don't know, but John McPhee has taken me back to that earlier day. Both his character and place descriptions are wonderful and make me long for the cabins, the ice break-up, the dogs, the bush planes, and the 55 gallon drums. The Anchorage of today is much changed, but ...

A Book Everybody Should Have Around!
This is a wonderful summary of general medical information written in simple terms so this is a great addition to the family. It is very current in describing medical understanding of a variety of illnesses, and it provides a solid foundation upon which you can start doing more research on the Internet for the condition that you may be interested in finding about. It even suggests temporary ... 		  
  







  
  
Scientology: A New Slant On Life37 reviews
L. Ron Hubbard

Bridge Publications, Inc., 1998

Personal Story
There was a chapter that changed my life and my idea on effort. The Chapter "Anatomy of Failure" explained that a person's downfall comes from things not happening the way they want. This was true for me. My life was a long chain of failures and I was miserable from failing. So, the change came with the advice to intend for life to keep on happening the way life keeps on happening--and a ...

Greens Glorious Greens: More than 140 Ways to Prepare All Those Great-Tasting, Super-Healthy, Beautiful Leafy ...27 reviews
Johnna Albi

St. Martin's Griffin, 1996

Fabulous!
In all my years as an Amazon shopper, this is the first time I have felt compelled to write a review. This is a great book. I have cooked numerous recipes and have been very impressed by all of them. In fact, she has a recipe for a meatloaf pinwheel that is the first meatloaf that I have ever liked. (There is a layer of kale and spinach that is rolled up with the meat. Delicious!) The ... 		  
  







  
  
Prayers on My Pillow: Inspiration for Girls on the Threshold of Change55 reviews
Celia Straus

Ballantine Books, 1999

A Real Source of Comfort and Encouragement for Girls
I purchased this book for 12 and 10 year old daughters. I thought that perhaps we could read a prayer each night as a devotion and that it would give us an opportunity to talk about issues in their lives. It has done that and more. My oldest daughter now refers to it frequently, whenever she needs a lift or a little extra encouragement. I also purchased the sequel and I rate it equally well. ... 		  
  







  
  
Prey (Aliens Vs. Predator, Book 1)89 reviews
Randy Stradley, Chris Warner

Spectra, 1994

A great book for those bad days
I fell in love with Alien Versus Predator when my best friend had brought over the first movie and since then I've collected most every Predator and Alien comic, book, and movie available. This one takes the cake however, next to Deadliest of the Species. Alliances between the two races almost always turn out to be spectacular, just as long as both have a sense of honor and respect for each ... 		  
  







  
  
Between Sisters36 reviews
Kristin Hannah

Ballantine Books, 2004

Kristin Hannah is good.
I have ready several of Kirstin Hannah's works, and I have never been disappointed. She does a good job of developing her characters, and the plot moves along well to conclusion. Her relationship building is one of the best. 		  
  







  
  
Pasta e Verdura: 140 Vegetable Sauces for Spaghetti, Fusilli, Rigatoni, and All Other Noodles20 reviews
Jack Bishop

William Morrow Cookbooks, 1996

Impress your friends and family....
There are few cookbooks that are as universally useful as this one. While the subject matter (pasta sauces) is limited, the situations in which you can use these recipes is almost limitless. The book contains simple recipes that make me think that my mom was slacking when she fed us bottled sauce when I was a child. And you can find elegant recipes that use unusual ingredients in imaginative ... 		  
  







  
  
The U.S. Constitution: And Fascinating Facts About It22 reviews
Terry L. Jordan

Oak Hill Publishing Company, 1999

What's a matter with you. Not having a knowledge of the US Constitution????
Get this. It's thorough. I read it many times over. It keeps things in perspective of where we should be as a nation. Sigh! Tom 		  
  







  
  
Hudson Taylors Spiritual Secret17 reviews
Dr. and Mrs. Howard Taylor

Moody Publishers, 1955

Amazing
This book is simply one of the most powerful books you could read to draw you to the Lord, in increased trust, fervor and understanding of His love. 		  
  







  
  
Moonflower Vine20 reviews
Jetta Carleton

Bantam Books, 1984

Gentle and charming
Yes, it IS a "girls" book and yes, it IS a slowly paced book but, for all that, I found it to be utterly charming and the characters to be so real and wonderfully drawn. These aren't namby pamby,goody-two-shoes people but all too real with their faults and flaws, yet they are so thoroughly likeable that you'll want to read slowly.Matthew, a mainly self taught school teacher and Callie, his ...

Onyx, 1999

No Ordinary Citizen
This thoroughly-researched and carefully-planned expose of a heinous crime and one victim's journey from woman-in-denial to crusader is a fascinating and speedy read. Engaging the reader from the outset, Mehnert and Dalessandro magage to weave together all the facts, giving us multiple perspectives, even as we empathize with the protagonist, Jane Alexander. Especially revealing and moving is ... 		  
  







  
  
Henry V (Bantam Classic)18 reviews
William Shakespeare

Bantam Classics, 1988

A popular play in an edition fabulously rich in helps
This play is best known for the St. Crispian's Day "Band of Brothers" speech given by King Henry just before the battle at Agincourt. It is a powerful speech that rallies people at all times and everywhere. Sir Lawrence Olivier made a film version in 1944 during WWII and Kenneth Branagh made another as recently as 1989. You can count on there being more versions. Epecially so when computers ... 		  
  







  
  
What happens when women pray (An input book)23 reviews
Evelyn Christenson, Viola Blake

Victor Books, 1975

it changed my life.
This book (Chinese translation) was given to me on the day of my baptism by an old lady in my church. At that time I was a 13 years old boy in a Presbyterian church in Taiwan. The Chinese title of the book was "The Power of Prayer" so I never thought of it as a book written for women. I remember I wept many times reading through that book. At this particular end-of-the-chapter prayer in which I ... 		  
  







  
  
Lucky23 reviews
Jackie Collins

Pocket, 1986

KEPT ME AT THE EDGE OF MY SEAT!!
What more can I say? All of the money in the world could not get me to pry my fingers off of this book. In Collins' sophomore release of the Santangelo saga we get reaquainted with the awe-inspiring, business savy and headstrong Lucky Santangelo, daughter of the notorious Gino "The Ram" Santagelo -- former mob boss. Not one iota of what Collins' writes in this book comes off as being ... 		  
  







  
  
The Herb Book19 reviews
John Lust

Bantam, 1983

This is the One.
This is the one, the one book I feel anyone serious about herbs should have in their collection. It has proved invaluable to me in so many ways. It includes cosmetic and medicinal for most any herb you can think of. It is also good for information on traditional uses and background knowledge. It can be a bit overwhelming at first but once you get a grasp on how it is organised (it didn't take me ... 		  
  







  
  
Feather in the Wind (Leisure Historical Romance)16 reviews
Madeline Baker

Leisure Books, 2004

Fantastic.
Everything the other reviewers said is true about this book. Even though it took be 3 days to finish it, I didn't want to put it down & see it end. I don't know weather there is a story for Black Winds uncle, that preceded this one, but if there is i'd love to read that one too. This is the 1st. timetravel by Madeline but it won't be my last. I am just about to start "Under a Praire moon" ...
