Christopher West
Ascension Press, 2004
Looking for a resource? Here it is!
This is the best book yet I have read this year- simple, totally engaging, profound and provoking. And small! Christopher West, acknowledged as one of the most erudite interpreters of John Paul II's Man and Woman He Created Them: A Theology Of The Bodyhas seeded his book with the "right questions" that lead to a deeper search for knowledge and challenge in knowing self, another, and the Word ...

Sushi for Beginners: A Novel 107 reviews
Marian Keyes
Avon A, 2005
Contagious !!! Funny !!
This book is so funny. This is the first book from Marian Keyes that I read. After this book, I had to go to the bookstore and buy everything she has written. Her books are full of great characters, looks of fun things going on with the story line and returning characters in her books. Always funny, always romantic and always something unexpected.

Breaking Out of Beginner's Spanish 102 reviews
Joseph J. Keenan
University of Texas Press, 1994
Spanish book
My son is serving a Spanish speaking mission for our church. He is wanting to improve his Spanish and has asked for my help. He told me this book was recommended to him. He has thanked me for all the help I have sent him, so I assume this is a good help.

Beginner's Greek: A Novel117 reviews
James Collins
Little, Brown and Company, 2008
A most pleasurable read
I had to think for a while about whether to rate this novel with a 4-star or 5-star review, but chose the 5-star for the sheer pleasure of reading it. I don't consider it to be a modern masterpiece, though it was one of the most enjoyable reading experiences I have had. Yes, it is definitely male fantasy all the way, especially in the dinner scene about 2/3 of the way through the novel. Yes it ...

Mindfulness for Beginners8 reviews
Jon Kabat-Zinn
audible.com
This is a very good CD.
I bought this CD at the recommendation of a social worker. I'm a perfectionist, which frequently leads me to experience anxiety. I've lived this way for 50+ years but it's not healthy. However, it has been the norm for my life. Yes, I've done some counseling over the years, which has been extremely helpful but I constantly battle with trying to do too much, making it all perfect and then ...

Robot Building for Beginners43 reviews
David Cook
Apress, 2002
Excellent book
This is an excellent book for a beginner. I'm a software engineer, didn't have any knowledge about robotics prior to this book, and yesterday I finished building my first robot - Kobi (Jacob, which is a rather biblical name but in hebrew also literally means 'will follow'... as it follows lines of course). Took me about 1-1.5 months to read, gather parts and build.
I live in Israel and didn't ...

Best in class
This is the best of class in Roman Catholic theology introductions. It provides a systematic overview providing the big-picture view one might miss short of reading the entire catechism. A good, solid, sound introduction that will be ideal for RCIA students and long-time Catholics alike. Included is a solid introduction providing the reasons to study theology and the rewards that come with ...

Foucault For Beginners9 reviews
Lydia Alix Fillingham
For Beginners, 2007
The portal into a maze - but a good one
FOUCAULT FOR BEGINNERS Foucault's range is amazing. Very few disciplines escaped his epistemological examination. His examination includes literary criticism, criminology, and gender studies. Arguing that definitions of abnormal behaviour are socially constructed, Foucault explored the power relations between those who meet and those who deviate from social norms. Foucault's examination of the ...

Beginner's French Reader6 reviews
McGraw-Hill
Glencoe/McGraw-Hill, 2001
Thoroughly enjoyable!
Of the two readers I ordered, I enjoy this one much more. I've read it many times in just the few short weeks since I received it and now my mother is reading and enjoying it. The stories are very short, simple, beautifully illustrated, and every single word in the text is in the glossary at the end. This gave me confidence immediately since I've never studied French. In fact, the ...

The accompanying CDs ensure correct pronunciation and a chance to develop ...
