The Imitation of Christ (Pure Gold Classic) 70 reviews
Thomas a Kempis
Bridge-Logos Publishers, 1999
Miracle
This is not a review of the book per se (just got it, have not read it yet), but thought I needed to share this. Book arrived with another book (a textbook) in the usual Amazon box, each laying side by side. It was left out in the rain for most of the day by the local carrier until I brought it inside. The entire box was soaked and ruined, tape fallen off and box literally gaping open, all of ...

Scientology: A New Slant On Life38 reviews
L. Ron Hubbard
Bridge Publications, Inc., 1998
Personal Story
There was a chapter that changed my life and my idea on effort. The Chapter "Anatomy of Failure" explained that a person's downfall comes from things not happening the way they want. This was true for me. My life was a long chain of failures and I was miserable from failing. So, the change came with the advice to intend for life to keep on happening the way life keeps on happening--and a ...

Stephen Hunter
Random House Audio, 1999
Hard to put down thanks to a riveting story
Well written and full of suspense. This is my first Stephen Hunter book, but it won't be my last! The story line is not predictable, in fact you'll be surprised at every turn!

A Bridge Too Far69 reviews
Cornelius Ryan
Simon & Schuster, 1974
Excellent Introduction in this Important part of WW2 History
I can't say it much better than the previous reviews have already. I wanted to read something on this subject and was led to this book. I couldn't have asked for a better introduction to the topic. Broad in scope yet detailed in its descriptions of the soldiers, units, and battles in this massive offensive. This is an excellent jumping off point to begin studying the Battle of Arnhem. Well ...

Humility (Pure Gold Classics)36 reviews
Andrew Murray, Harold J. Chadwick
Bridge-Logos Publishers, 2001
I Never Understood Humility Until Now
I have read about humility in books, including the bible for over twenty years. I have searched for what it means to be a humble person, as I always interpreted it as being a doormat. Andrew Murray talks about humility using the life of Christ as our perfect example in such a simple way. I can now apply these very simple principles to my everyday life and I feel free.
I also love and ...

Legend, 1986
It's called Fantasy for a reason
I first read this book about 20 years ago. I read the two reviews that gave it only one star because I was curious why their reaction was so different from mine. After reading the two reviews, I believe I understand the problem.
It's called Fantasy for a reason.
It's not Literature, and it's not a History of ancient china.
Barry Hughart taught me that ancient wise men don't see ...

Amazing True Story
Homer Hickam grew up in a rural isolated mountain town but went on to win the National Science Fair.
This book is his story and how he was successful.
I bought 24 copies of this book to inspire my advanced 6th grade Reading class. They loved the book. In our discussions they mentioned never giving up. Homer and his friends kept trying until they had success.
Thank you for sharing your ...

Scientology 8-8008: How to Increase Your Spiritual Ability from Zero to Infinity37 reviews
L. Ron Hubbard
Bridge Pubns, 1994
ONLY FOR PEOPLE WITH THE SMARTS AND COURAGE TO FACE TRUTH
I have read this book a number of times since the 1960s. It contains more distilled truth about life and the spiritual nature and capabilities of people than you will find anywhere. You read it carefully, cosidering each line, and WOA! it dawns on you that what Mr. Hubbard says is TRUE with a capital T. But you have to have the courage to really look at what he says and the smarts to ...

The Battle of the Labyrinth (Thorndike Press Large Print Literacy Bridge Series)72 reviews

Blayre H. (age 10)
"This book is about a little boy named Percy Jackson, who is a half-blood -- part god (one of Triton's sons) and part human. In this Battle of the Labyrinth, Percy is trying to save the half-blood camp, where all of the little half-bloods go; from a boy named Luke, who has turned upon his own kind and sides with Kronos (Triton's father), who wants to destroy the camp. I think the book was a ...

Richard O'Kane
Bantam, 1981
RADM Dick O'Kane is The Man
Outstanding read---puts you on the submarine, with all the tension and excitement---and yes, the inherent boredom. I'm a former submariner and my old CO (Dennis Oltraver, CAPT, USN---who went from E-1 to O-6---so quite a man in himself) knew O'Kane and copied much of his leadership style. In turn, I copied my CO---when I read Clear the Bridge, I was amazed at how I knew what O'Kane would do ...

A Joy to Look At; Fascinating Read
LIFE OF BIRDS is a gorgeous journey into the evolution, behavior, and unique characteristics of hundreds of species of birds, varying from Antarctic-dwelling Emperor Penguins to amazing little hummingbirds (and everything in between). The photos are striking, and almost all the birds in the photos are discussed individually in the reader-friendly text. The author knows how to make bird facts ...

Trusting God25 reviews
Jerry Bridges
Navpress, 1988
Trust God
This book is wonderful and is essential reading for anyone, not only those going through hard times, but also those with questions as to how to let go of our anxieties and worries. Everything Bridges says he back up with the Bible, and he does not skip around the difficult questions, but addresses them. This book was exactly what I hoped for and will be re-read many times I am sure.

What a wonderful Book. I recieved it, and read it cover to cover all in the same day! I don't usually do that, but what a damn good book. This story is centered around Sara Dunstan, whom is still grieving over her adopted son Steel Brightblade three years after the summer of chaos. In the begining, she is living as a exile from the Knights of Tahkisis, and is pretty miserable. Then she starts ...

Fantastic Study
Jerry Bridges is insightful and penetrating in his writing. He is easy to understand and gets to the heart of the matter. I used this in conjunction with the companion study book. This really helped me put into action the principles he discusses. It's well worth your time.

This book is a one-stop introduction to both Layer 2 and Layer 3 of the OSI model.

Amazing read! A gold star book!

It started the morning Steven left his little brother, Jeffrey, on a stool while he made his "moatmeal." Jeffrey fell and the bleeding started.

Jessica Day George
Thorndike Press, 2008
Grannys preview
I always preview any books I purchase for my grandchildren. I give this an A+ for its style of writing and for keeping it light enough for young minds. The storyline has action, is fun, and has some core values instilled in the actions of the chatacters. I was entertained and finished the book with a feeling of having had a good adventure. I wanted more.

Andrew Clements
Thorndike Press, 2005
A Great Book
I'm a nine year old boy from NY. This book is funny and serious, too. This boy Greg wants to make lots of money while copycats try to steal his ideas. He makes money by selling little chunky comics. I recommend this book to everyone.
