Erin Hunter

Perfection Learning, 2005

Warrior's rule!
All of the Erin Hunter books are great! I just love them and have read them many times over. I am not a reader, I hate to read!!! But give me a Warrior series book and leave me alone for a few days. They are the best. Thanks Erin for opening up a new world for me.
  
  











  



  
Liturgy of the Hours32 reviews
Catholic Book Publishing Co

Catholic Book Publishing Company, 2000

A Beautiful, Inspiring Set of Volumes
Just think: with these four volumes, you'll be able to pray ANY of the prescribed hours, at any time and day of the year. Knowing that you're in company with millions of others doing the same thing is awe-inspiring and spiritually enriching. These are very easy to use so there's no excuse not to enter into the prayer life of the Church. Mass for me is made even better when I arrive early and read ...
  
  











  



  
The Legend of Mickey Tussler22 reviews
Frank Nappi

St. Martin's Press, 2008

Fabulous Baseball Yarn
I wrote a book review for The Legend of Mickey Tussler for the online magazine onmilwaukee.com. In that review I describe how Frank Nappi, the author, has a firm grasp on bringing forth a magical history through his novel, weaving in a sense of how a baseball team in the high minor leagues confronts its challenges throughout the season and how history played a part in the development of this ...
  
  











  



  
The normal Christian life48 reviews
Watchman Nee

Christian Literature Crusade, 1973

Now I See
When I was 9 years old I got my first pair of glasses and was amazed by the detail and clarity of my new vision. What was once green blobs atop brown cylinders became gorgeous, complex trees in their full, leafy glory. In a similar way, thanks to Nee, I see the details and wholeness of God's greatest gift to us, His Son. Watchman Nee makes Paul's Letter to the Romans accessible and ...
  
  











  



  
Rescue of Streetcar 304: A Navy Pilot's Forty Hours on the Run in Laos26 reviews
Kenny Wayne Fields

Natl Maritime Historical Soc, 2007

Excellent Story!
I was also shot down in Laos, very close to the spot the author had his experience. My back-seater and I (flying an Air Force F-4E, in 1970) were luckier and were rescued after just one night in the jungle. This book is an "easy read" and I personally related to much of what he experienced. This is one of the few books I've read that I had to keep reading till I was finished. I'd like to think ...

The 36-Hour Day, 4th edition: A Family Guide to Caring for People with Alzheimer Disease, Other Dementias, ...46 reviews
Nancy L. Mace, Peter V. Rabins

The Johns Hopkins University Press, 2006

outstanding for information, application, and inspiration
This book, now in its 4th edition, is absolutely one of the finest books that has been written regarding Alzheimer's Disease and the process of care giving. Full of detail about the disease, this book also takes it a step further, providing very practical information on care giving, making a home / care giving setting a safe place, and, frankly, providing suggestions for periodic care giving to ...
  
  











  



  
Web Analytics: An Hour a Day60 reviews
Avinash Kaushik

Sybex, 2007

The only book on Web Analytics you'll ever need
Technologies evolve, but the PROCESS by which we should collect and analyze online data in order to gain solid, actionable insights will remain constant for the foreseeable future. I have been fortunate enough to work with some of the smartest online marketers in the business, and, to say the very least, most of these people -- especially those in the analytics community -- seem content to ...
  
  











  



  
The Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailors: The Extraordinary World War II Story of the U.S. Navy's Finest Hour128 reviews
James Hornfischer

Books on Tape, 2004

Ranks with Shattered Sword
A couple of years ago, I read "Shattered Sword" (about the Battle of Midway) and proclaimed it the best WWII account of Pacific Theatre Naval history to date. I now have to say THE LAST STAND OF THE TIN CAN SAILORS by James Hornfischer ranks right beside it. This is a brilliantly presented accounting of Halsey's folly when he let his enormous ego get in the way of following orders. The result ...
  
  











  



  
Callanetics: 10 Years Younger in 10 Hours16 reviews
Callan Pinckney

William Morrow & Co, 1989

The Best!
I've done Callanetics off and on for years. Of course, like most people, I get sidetracked and stop exercising for whatever reason, but I always come back to Callanetics because it WORKS! No, you won't lose massive amounts of weight, but if you are relatively normal weight for you, and you just need to tone up and get everything back where nature originally put it, this is the one for you. I ...

R.L. Stine is the Coolest!!!!
R.L. Stine is one of the best authers that i have had the pleasure of reading. Even though this book is for kids, i am still reading it at the age of 16. i still get goosebumps from reading his stories.
  
  











  



  
Conan Chronicles, The21 reviews
Robert E. Howard

Millennium (an Imprint of The Orion Publishing Group Ltd ), 2001

Conan and his creator at their best
This book actually began life as a serial in "Weird Tales" in the 1930s. Robert E. Howard (REH) never actually wrote any Conan novels, all of Conan's tales were written for the magazine marketplace. But this is his only novel length Conan tale so it is considered by many to be the only REH Conan novel. That being said, it is easily one of the best Conan stories written. In the tale, Conan is the ...
  
  











  



  
24-Hour Pharmacist, The18 reviews

Do yourself a favor and read this book
Everyone should read this book if they want a clearer understanding of what prescription drugs do to us and what we can do about it.
  
  











  



  
The Violet Hour21 reviews
Richard Montanari

Penguin Books Ltd, 1999

Excellent!
This book was a heart-stopper. It grabbed me right from the beginning. Then for a few chapters it did jump from character to character and you had to read carefully to keep them straight. But it was well worth it. My mind was working through this whole book trying to figure who was doing the murders and also who was responsible for what happened 20 years ago. Just when I thought I knew who ...
  
  











  



  
Alpha Teach Yourself Chess in 24 Hours21 reviews
Zsuzsa Polgar, Hoainhan Paul Truong, ...

Alpha, 2002

...Polgar avoids wordy text and lines of movement
"Alpha Teach Yourself Chess in 24 Hours" Zsuzsa Polgar ...et al, [...] ISBN 0 02 864408-5 Rates much above the typical beginner book, because Polgar ILLUSTRATES the point she is making, instead of giving you dull and boring, wordy paragraphs to read. When you see the illustration, you QUICKLY get the point of the lesson. The author is SUSAN POLGAR, and "Zsuzsa" is the ...
  
  











  



  
Four Hours in My Lai16 reviews
Michael Bilton, Kevin Sim

Penguin (Non-Classics), 1993

Strangers in a strange land
An excellent and even-handed book. As a father of four, I would take my helmet off to Thompson and hope that I would have done the same thing in those circumstances. However, as a jumpy eighteen-year-old who had spent three months seeing his buddies slaughtered in booby trap after booby trap, having their heads blown off by snipers you never see or get to track, Army trucks full of draftees ...
  
  











  



  
The Candy Bombers: The Untold Story of the Berlin Airlift and America's Finest Hour16 reviews
Andrei Cherny

Putnam Adult, 2008

An Uplifting Example and Amazing Story
Reading this book is an emotional and stirring event on many different levels. It offers one of the clearest and most succient histories of the period just after the Second World War. The book also does an excellent job of providing balance between the outsized personalities who helped shape the airlift and the amazing achievement that the airlife in itself was. One of the most touching ...
  
  











  



  
The Forgiving Hour17 reviews, 2008

One of the best out there!
Of the books I've read in the Christian fiction genre, this is one of the best. I was utterly impressed with the author's ability to write a STORY...something many authors are missing in this time. I love the slight hint of suspense, the inspiring words, the real emotions/reactions, and he overall healing that each character experienced. There weren't too many plots in this one, but the ...
  
  











  



  
Mornings With Fulton Sheen: 120 Holy Hour Readings22 reviews
Beverly Coney Heirich

Servant Publications, 2000

Meditation for Christians
What an amazing book! I'm a Christian who has used Transcendental Meditation (TM) and practiced Yoga, but I had never heard of "the ancient and powerful practice of Christian meditation." Of course I knew monks meditate, but this book encourages purely Christian meditation for all Christians, and explains why the difference between Eastern techniques and Christian meditation (which Fulton Sheen ...
