Skill Building
Reading critically is an essential skill to getting through college, and this book helped me improve that skill and thus improved my whole college experience. I would recommend it to anyone who needs a little extra help with all those very difficult college textbooks!

Breaking Through 20 reviews
Francisco Jiménez
Houghton Mifflin, 2002
wonderful portrayal of a migrant family
I bought *Breaking Through* without realizing that it was a sequel to *The Circuit*. Nonetheless, you aren't lost if you start with *Breaking Through* I loved this memoir because it was one of the best portrayal of a migrant family.
This memoir chronicled the life of Francisco Jimenez from the time that him and his family entered America from Mexico to his entrance into college.

Breaking Out of Beginner's Spanish 104 reviews
Joseph J. Keenan
University of Texas Press, 1994
The Best Spanish Reference Book for Middle to Advanced Speakers
This is a book that I have been searching for. Most of the books I have come across only give very "stiff-sounding" vocabulary and idioms. The author of this book seems to be someone similar to me in how I learned Spanish; 10 years of school and college and then going to Spanish speaking countries and dating Spanish women. He is very good at explaining a lot of things that are culture related. ...

Breaking the Missional Code: Your Church Can Become a Missionary in Your Community17 reviews
Ed Stetzer, David Putman
B&H Publishing Group, 2006
North America is a mission field!
If I took away one thing from this book, it is that North America is a mission field, and we must treat it as such.
Ed Stetzer is an experienced church planter who did research for the North American Mission Board (NAMB) at the time that he wrote the book, and now does research for LifeWay Christian Resources and also consults with NAMB. David Putman is also an experienced church planter.

Stephenie Meyer
Little, Brown Young Readers, 2008
Perfectly Ended
I don't understand the negative reviews. If you've followed the series, why in the heck would you have wanted anything other than a wonderful ending that made you smile. It was a perfect ending to the series! Had it not ended this way...with everyone intact and happy...I would have been so disappointed. After all Bella went through in the first 3 books, I am so happy she got her "Happily Ever ...

Breaking Free: Discover the Victory of Total Surrender4 reviews
Beth Moore
B&H Publishing Group, 2007
A life changing book
I own a hardback copy of this book and have read it through twice now. If you're tired of living in the stronghold of anything...addiction, pride, greed, jealousy, guilt, insecurity, etc., then pick up a copy of this book. Breaking free from those strongholds doesn't happen overnight. But once you realize how chained you are to the things from which Jesus/God can set you free, you're on your ...

Breaking the Spell: Religion as a Natural Phenomenon151 reviews
Daniel C. Dennett
Penguin (Non-Classics), 2007
Belief in Belief
This book has a bit more scholarly depth than the other books by the so called "four horsemen" and requires more careful consideration than the other books simply because of the nature of Dennett's view on religion. He never comes across as attacking religion the way the other three famous recent writers do. Dawkins's book is just as good, but it may be for a different audience. This book has a ...

Breaking Free: Making Liberty in Christ a Reality in Life36 reviews
Beth Moore
B&H Publishing Group, 2000
GREAT BOOK-SHIPPING HIGH
Several of my friends and I are using this book for an e-mail small group Bible study. It is well suited for that with its short chapters and review questions.
I ordered 3 items at exactly the same time and had to pay 3 separate shipping charges. I probably would not do that kind of shopping again.

Breaking the Vicious Cycle: Intestinal Health Through Diet204 reviews
Elaine Gloria Gottschall
Kirkton Press, 1994
From no digestion to a normal life
I bought this book because I was no longer digesting food normally. Nearly everything I ate was passing through unchanged, and I was very concerned that I would be unable to work, enjoy going out for a normal life, not to mention what may happen to my health if I could not digest food! Doctors/scopes were no help. There were no pathogens detected, and I do not have any of the diagnoses listed ...

Breaking the Code: Understanding the Book of Revelation 25 reviews
Bruce M. Metzger
Abingdon Press, 2006
Solid and readable
The first thing one must admit in reviewing one of Metzger's work is that next to no one is qualified to review one of Metzger's works. One of the most noted biblical scholars of a century, it's unlikely that any casual reader can take aim at him.
That said, the book is written for the casual reader, and in that sense is very accessible and unintimidating. There are even points at which, for ...

Breaking Free: A Recovery Workbook for Facing Codependence12 reviews
Pia Mellody, Andrea Wells Miller
HarperOne, 1989
Toughest Book I Ever Loved
It took me several years before I was ready to work this book. I would pick it up, get paralyzed with fear, and then put it down. Once I was ready, it changed my life completely. I buy a new one every year or so, and work it for different reasons. Totally changed my world. I am forever grateful to the author.

Breaking the Food Seduction: The Hidden Reasons Behind Food Cravings---And 7 Steps to End Them Naturally39 reviews
Neal D. Barnard
St. Martin's Griffin, 2004
Amazing!
This book confirms all those things you suspected, but thought were myths. Dr. Barnard lays out the (shocking) facts. Though hard to believe, everything is footnoted to the pages and pages of references in the back. The practical part is the second section, which tells how to put the information into practice. He gives a three-week plan to kick those cravings. The recipes in the back are easy and ...

Breaking Rank: A Top Cop's Expose of the Dark Side of American Policing38 reviews
Norm Stamper
Nation Books, 2006
Excellent Candid Insight into Modern Policing
Stamper doesn't hold back - he outlines his experiences, sucesses, and failures. The book is organized around issues that are important to Stamper, such as community policing, gun control, death penalty, and the like.
Even if you do not agree with all of his conclusions the book still makes for a great read.

Breaking the Political Glass Ceiling: Women and Congressional Elections (Women in American Politics)2 reviews
Barbara Palmer
Routledge, 2008
A must read!
This extraordinary book is the most important book on women and congressional elections ever published. No other scholars have taken such a detailed and longitudinal look at women's fortunes running for the U.S. Congress and have posed so many essential, timely and important questions all in one place. This book is extremely well written and will be of interest to practitioners and academics ...

Suzanne Brockmann
Ballantine Books, 2006
Sigh......Max
The first book I read by SB was 'Gone too Far', so I had to get BP. (I am now going back to read all of them). I am a big sucker for the guy who keeps it all bottled up until he has a severe physical and emotional outburst (not resulting in harm of anyone but himself). And that is Max. I love that Gina totally gets under his skin in order to make him admit his feelings. I also think you have ...
