The Art of War for Writers: Fiction Writing Strategies, Tactics, and Exercises by James Scott Bell. Modeled after the Sun Tzu book The Art of War, ...

My six year old grandson loves these books!
My six year old grandson loves the "Junie B. Jones" series of books! I won't comment on each individual book because he hasn't heard or read a "Junie B. Jones" book he didn't like! If all else has failed at getting your 5-8 yr. old interested in books...read him/her one of the Junie B. Jones books. They'll love it!

Rob Bell

Zondervan, 2009

You don't read this book, you experience it.
Rob Bell's exploration on the relationship between suffering and creativity with Drops Like Stars is rich, challenging and captures the essence of the creative life. It doesn't answer all the questions or give formulaic instructions for "recovery." Instead, it presents the most basic of concepts with a depth available for exploration. I believe everyone is creative, but creativity manifests ...

Great book for parents of teens!
I purchased several books for my teen, and this one was one that didn't interest her as much - but I have learned a lot from it! It has a lot of insight into the teen mind, and as much as we think we remember what it was like to be a teen, it's easy to forget about all the fears and insecurities they have. I highly recommend this book as a refresher course for parents of teens. My teen ...

The Complete Idiot's Guide to the Bible, Third Edition

Jr., James Stuart Bell, Stan Campbell

Alpha, 2005

who knew the bible was so entertaining
I've been trying to read the bible for years but just could not get into it. This book is "the best of" the bible and actually makes it readable. And better yet, it's understandable! I love the sense of humor the writers have (of the guide not the bible itself) - I actually laughed out loud at one of the titles. This book truly does make reading the bible an enjoyable experience.

Tremendous Read
I received the book "Sitting at the Foot of Rabbi Jesus" just the other day, and cannot put it down. These two ladies(the authors)make the Jewish Jesus so easy to understand. Such great explanations of everything back in Jesus time- feasts etc. I recommend this book to every christian who is interested in the Hebraic roots. Every church should teach this.
