Lydia Prince
Kingsway, 1976
Unforgettable Story of an Unbelievable Faith
I was first introduced to this book a few years ago by my grandfather. It had been read by many members of the family and finally passed down to me. I have been searching for a copy of this amazing book in English (mine is in Russian, so it takes more effort to read through!) and I finally found it! I have read this book 5 or 6 times and I am always inspired and amazed at Lydia's faith in God, ...

Sheri Koones
Hanley-Wood, 2002
Let This Book Be Your Construction Compass
Working within the industry, it is painfully clear how difficult it is for people 'on the outside' to make informed decisions, know what they are getting into and understand what they should be getting out of products, contractors and procedures. This is a good compass for the journey of building or remodeling any project. It helps you get organized, think through the process before you begin ...

Gooseberry Patch 2007 Appointment Calendar5 reviews
Gooseberry Patch
Gooseberry Patch, 2006
My favorite by far
This book is not always easy to get a hold of so I've tried others in the past. I've always ended up getting this one in the end. I don't really use the recipes but I love the calendar. I am a nurse so my schedules can be a little hectic. The month at a glance pages really help me see exactly what is going on. There is plenty of room to write everything I need to and if I need more info, I can go ...

french country calendar 2008
Exactly what I was looking for...an engagement calendar that keeps us on schedule from week to week, and has the added advantage of lovely photos from France that remind us of our trip last year. Only thing I would like to see added is a monthly calendar view at the beginning of each month.

Hiring The Best Knowledge Workers, Techies & Nerds: The Secrets & Science Of Hiring Technical People8 reviews
Johanna Rothman
Dorset House Publishing Company, Incorporated, 2004
Top book on hiring technical staff from soup to nuts
As other reviewers have pointed out, this book goes all the way from first defining the open position through to the new hire's first day on the job. It contains extremely detailed information on how to handle each step of complicated processes like sourcing, handing the interview day, and making a final hire/no hire decision. Admittedly, her approach is very similar to what I'm used to from ...

The Missionary Call: Find Your Place in God's Plan For the World5 reviews
M. David Sills
Moody Publishers, 2008
Christians must read this book!
For a child whose parents did not actively encourage faith in God nor a love for the gospel, I attended a decent amount of church activities. One year, I even received a Bible as a reward for perfect attendance (my teacher picked me up every week). My fondest memories involve Mission Friends and Girls In Action. At least a full decade before I ever understood the gospel, I remember memorizing ...

Lord, I Give You This Day: 366 Appointments with God4 reviews
Kay Arthur
WaterBrook Press, 2006
Lord, I Give You This Day is Excellent
Kay Arthur's latest devotional book is very meaningful and gives each day a thought to focus on that will help you through the day. Each entry is short and to the point making it easy to read, understand, and remember.
Kay is very down to earth and wants Biblical truth to be easily accessed by those who read her books. I would recommend Kay Arthur's devotional highly.

Appointment at the Ends of the World4 reviews
DVM, William Karesh
Paperback Nova Audio Books, 2000
House Calls
I listened to this book on audio tape, and thoroughly enjoyed it. I didn't realize a vet could enjoy his life so much. Each illness was an adventure, and some were quite dangerous. He obviously loves his work, and won't let anything stand in his way. His stories were humorous and interesting, and just technical enough to appreciate his vast medical knowledge. This book was a pleasure to ...

I especially appreciated how the author allows us to benefit from her "hands-on" experience in her own household, and also includes input from some of the providers that she has employed. Also the reader benefits from extensive research put into this book ...

Pursuit of Justices: Presidential Politics and the Selection of Supreme Court Nominees5 reviews
David Alistair Yalof
University Of Chicago Press, 1999
Liberty and Property in the Hands of Nine Unknown Persons
I reviewed Yalof's Pursuit of Justices for the New York Law Journal (December 10, 1999). He describes how nominees for the Supreme Court were chosen during the Truman through Reagan presidencies. His subject is novel, painstakingly examined and offered in a sustained, highly readable prose. His book deserves shelf space in libraries public and private. Its harvest of facts catches and holds ...

This is just an extraordinary book on judicial appointments written by two distinguished political scientists with decades of experience studying the federal courts. While it obviously is primarily designed to be a brief (168 pages, including the extensive notes) introduction to the process of judicial selection for the general reader, it skillfully incorporates some of the most significant ...
