Raising a Modern-Day Knight: A Father's Role in Guiding His Son to Authentic Manhood50 reviews
Robert Lewis
Focus, 2007
Every dad should read this book.
Men are being emasculated today. Mainstream family media shows us to be idiots fumbling our way through life. Fathers are accepting passivity and surrendering our manhood in the process. This book is an excellent guide to help counter this and create an authentic relationship with our sons.

Authentic Mexican 20th Anniversary Ed: Regional Cooking from the Heart of Mexico 29 reviews
Rick Bayless
William Morrow Cookbooks, 2007
Wonderful cookbook to create an authentic Mexican table
While I was born and raised in the Southern US on grits and fried catfish, my husband was raised in Mexico City on pozole and pombazos and anything picosa.
We've been together for almost six years, and he hasn't been back home at all in that time, not even for a quick visit. We still live in the south, so our choices as far as authentic Mexican are quite slim. There are some taquerias around ...

Robert Holden
Hay House, 2008
The Intelligence Behind Success Intelligence
The Intelligence of Success Intelligence
Everyone has a book on prosperity nowadays. Most simply rehash many of the new thought ideas of the past century adding sparkling new pieces of pizzazz to the packaging and using marketing elements like it's a big "secret" for promotion. This not withstanding, there remains a good deal of potential wealth in these works for those unfamiliar with ...

Authentic Assessment for English Language Learners: Practical Approaches for Teachers7 reviews
J. Michael O'Malley, Lorraine Valdez Pierce
Addison Wesley Publishing Company, 1996
The Best Assessment Book I've Seen
I bought this for an ESL Assessment class at the graduate level. I also teach ESL at a university, and this book comes in very handy, both in theory and in practice. I especially like the rubrics you give to students so they can assess their own strengths and weaknesses. For example, when working together in groups, students fill out a form after their work is done, stating how well they ...

Courageous Souls: Do We Plan Our Life Challenges Before Birth?53 reviews
Robert Schwartz
Whispering Winds Press, 2006
groundbreaking and empowering work
I have found Courageous Souls to both confirm and validate my own experiences as well as my understanding of life's deeper purpose and meanings. This book explains in clear, simple language why "bad things happen" and why sometimes "bad things happen to good people" in a way that helps readers make sense of their own lives and make peace with their choices--however their choices were viewed by ...

Signs of Life: Back to the Basics of Authentic Christianity11 reviews
David Jeremiah
Thomas Nelson, 2007
Refined my Christian focus!
I saw Dr. Jeremiah preach the introductory message for this book and immediately knew that I wanted it. This book is assembled into 40 daily devotionals in Dr. Jeremiah's "get to the point" style. These 40 lessons support the five "signs of life" of a Christian: Dusty shoes, worn out knees, rolled up sleeves, open hands and outstretched arms. llustrations really add to the discussion of the ...

A Weekend to Change Your Life: Find Your Authentic Self After a Lifetime of Being All Things to All People7 reviews
Joan Anderson
Broadway, 2007
Finding Your Authentic Self: A Fine Book For Men As Well
It is a sad reality that so many people have their identities molded by the wants and needs of others. And I think that few would dispute that this is more likely to happen to women. There are powerful social and perhaps biological reasons why this might be. But the important point is that there are millions of people who are not fulfilling their potential. And there are many men who are stuck in ...

Led Zeppelin Classics (Authentic Guitar-Tab)9 reviews
Led Zeppelin
Hal Leonard Corporation, 2000
Zeppelin
All I have say is "Wow" this book is incredible. I've been playing guitar for about 3 months now, and I'm a HUGE Zeppelin fan so I decided to get this book. I think I might have bit off a little more than I can chew. I can play the riffs from a few songs, but that's about it. But, as they always say "Practice makes perfect." If you're experienced with a guitar, I would HIGHLY recommend this.

Authentic Beauty: The Shaping of a Set-Apart Young Woman21 reviews
Leslie Ludy
Multnomah Books, 2007
A book that ALL young woman need to read!!!
I would like to get my one complaint about this book out of the way, and that complain is Leslie Ludy's overuse of the phrase "Lily-white"; Other than that there is nothing wrong with this book. In fact I would say that as usual the Ludy wrote a timely and much needed portrait of what Godly purity is. Non-Christian women see no need for purity, and even Christian women begin to shake their ...

All Marketers Are Liars: The Power of Telling Authentic Stories in a Low-Trust World92 reviews
Seth Godin
Portfolio Hardcover, 2005
So THAT'S Why People Pay So Much For Starbuck's!
...It's the "Starbuck's Experience", not the coffee. Seth's written a very engaging book filled with some insightful observations about human behavior and why we buy the things we do. All in all, I found the book:
*An easy read (I finished it in a few hours, and I'm not a super-fast reader)
*VERY relevant to the "branding" aspects of marketing.
*He points out that "their (your customers) ...

Jossey-Bass, 2004
A Compelling Invitation
The day after I read this brilliant book, I read an article in the Dallas Morning News (Tuesday, September 30, 2003) in which sportswriter Gerry Fraley discusses the Minnesota Twins whose payroll is $110-million less than that of the Yankees. (The Twins won 90 games this past season and had just defeated the Yankees in the first game of the American league playoffs.) As Fraley notes, the Twins ...

Authentic Relationships: Discover the Lost Art of One Anothering7 reviews
Wayne Jacobsen, Clay Jacobsen
Baker Books, 2003
Indispensable resource
This is the best book that I have read detailing what relationships should look like in the church. Using examples from their own experiences and Christ, The Jacobsen brothers cleverly and thoroughly go through 22 verses in the Epistles that focus on the concept of "one anothering". The chapters are masterfully ordered to display the progression of relationship building. The first section ...

The Gospel According to Jesus: What Is Authentic Faith?88 reviews
John MacArthur
Zondervan, 2008
As The End Times Near
The Gospel According to Jesus: What Is Authentic Faith?
I don't always care for MacArthur's writings. He seems a bit full of himself. But on this topic he is right on the spot. The church is in the process of replacing the real Jesus with a made-up non-lord of the universe one. Buy this book, read it, and pray for us all

Callings: Finding and Following an Authentic Life41 reviews
Gregg Michael Levoy
Three Rivers Press, 1998
Good Information For You Here....
I very much enjoyed this book. Here are just a few of my favourite excerpts:
"Our lives are measured out in coffee spoons, they are measured out not in the grand sweeps but in the small gestures. -T.S. Eliot"
"Callings keep surfacing until we deal with them"
"Repetition is fundamental to learning"
"Perhaps the main reason we ignore calls is that we instinctively know the price ...
