Low-Fat Living: Turn Off the Fat-Makers Turn on the Fat-Burners for Longevity Energy Weight Loss Freedom from ...

Robert K. Cooper, Leslie L. Cooper

Rodale Books, 1996

A Whole Systems Approach
My only complaint with this book is its title, "Low Fat Living." It goes far beyond that. This is really the "whole mind, whole body" approach to weight control and more. This book seems to be a collection of everything that the authors could find that contributes to weight loss, organized in an interesting and integrative manner. I particularly loved the study that showed that people watching ...

QuarkXPress 4 for Macintosh (Visual QuickStart Guide)

Elaine Weinmann

Peachpit Press, 1998

An excellent tutor at my desk-side.
I bought this book as a last resort because my Computer Graphics professor told us we would need lots of tutoring in order to pass with good grades. I was totally "Quark illiterate" before taking this course and buying the book. Honestly, this book explains a lot more than a tedious 3 week course in class could. The book has taken me step-by-step through all the process of learning style-sheets ...

Read just a page a day
I received this wonderful book as a gift. I often only had the time and energy to read just one page before bed. It always comforted me. I always give this book to new moms.

Simon & Schuster, 1993

Stop the Insanity - Eat, Breath, Move
I read this book because someone was giving it away at work. I had heard about it but thought it might be some more diet advise. This woman is now one of the most respected people in my life. I applaude Susan Powter for her accomplishments and for speaking out to the public. Now people can really see what our trusted diet and fitness industries are really doing. Memorize the script, sell ...

HCI, 1998

Warm and fuzzy
Most of the series of 'Chicken Soup for the Soul' has the kind of warm and fuzzy story that many find endearing and sweet. They are not 'deep' most of the time, but do point to things beyond themselves; for my own use, I often find sermon illustrations and stories within the pages of volumes of Chicken Soup -- as chaplain at a retirement centre, many of the stories help people to recall happier ...

Trespasses: Portrait of a Serial Rapist

5 reviews
Howard Swindle

Viking Adult, 1996

WOW
Swindle has done an excellent job here of walking the reader through not only the investigation of the rapes committed, but the background and personality of the criminal, Gilbert Escobedo. The fact that Swindle was able to visit and interview Escobedo several times during his incarceration was, I am sure, immensely helpful. I feel that books like these can actually help prevent crime...in this ...

I've wanted my own copy for years and years
Today I again wished I still had access to THEREBY HANGS A TALE. I had read most of it years ago while staying with a friend and have missed its delightful insights into how our language grows and changes. Each word's origin is explained with great humor and insight. This time, however, instead of just feeling blue for not having it, I searched Amazon.com [bless them and their search ...

Dutton Juvenile, 1991

Fantastic book for toddlers!
This, along with "I Love My Daddy Because..." has been one of my son's favorite books since he was about 14 months old. I'm ordering a new copy to put away for the day when he has his first child, and grandma can pass it along.

Tough-Minded Faith for Tender-Hearted People

Robert Harold Schuller

Thomas Nelson Inc, 1985

Daily Inspirations!
...though I must confess I am not the biggest fan of Schuller or any of the TV evangelists, I do try to read a lot of religious, inspirational and philosophical literature. I found that since (like Schuller says himself) faith comes dressed not like tangible, scientifically proven data, but it's like the gut level truth, something that can help us everyday folks affirm our faith and help us reach ...

Trial Techniques for the Ancient Attorney
When I was in law school at the University of Florida back in the 70's, our student bar association raised money by selling "looms" on the law courses. Looms were the typed up notes of the students who made the highest grades in each of the classes. Looms were clear, concise statements of the essentials of a course without all the extraneous verbiage that creeps into didactic presentation. ...

A Family All Her Own (Love Inspired #158)

Bonnie K. Winn

Steeple Hill, 2001

Maybe There Will Be a Family in Her Life, After All
Katherine Blake is a Methodist minister in the small town of Rosewood, Texas, scene of Ms. Winn's excellent inspirational romance "Promise of Grace" which inspired me to seek out and read this story. At times Katherine feels like a nun, especially when she meets men, because once they find out about her vocation, they get that look in their eyes as they back peddle. However, nuns by virtue of ...

A Course Glossary: 158 Definitions from A Course in Miracles (Series of Commentaries on a Course in Miracles)

Robert Perry

Circle of Atonement, 1996

Another good look at A Course in Miracles
When I began studying the Course (and for several years, actually) I found all of Robert Perry's work helpful, interesting, and thought provoking. I find his work to have more substance to it than Tara Singh's while being easier to read than Kenneth Wapnick and more in depth than Marianne Williamson. I recommend him highly. As always, his work is a compliment to the Course itself, not a ...

The year was 1911 when he stole the Mona Lisa, mistakenly believing that it belonged to Italy he was determined to take it home. Perugia was apprehended in Florence and brought to trial.
