Aladdin, 1989

Charming, totally charming
This is my 4-year old grand daughter's favorite book. Actually, I'm tired of reading it I've read it so many times to her, she can't get enough of it. Charming book, lovely amusing story. I highly recommend it.

Grandmother Spider Brings the Sun: A Cherokee Story

7 reviews
Geri Keams

Rising Moon, 1997

Grandmother Spider Brings the Sun
This is a wonderful telling of a truly Cherokee tale. Most stories written after the oral tradition can be a litte stale. Keams avoids this by modernizing the language for her younger readers. The Coyote, btw, comes from the Western Cherokee, after the removal. I was told this story as a child by my Western Cherokee Grandfather with the Coyote, and by my Eastern Tribes Grandmother without it. ...

Atlantic Monthly Press, 2007

something you can relate to
Stumbled across this after reading one Bill's columns in Field & Stream & having a friend tell me he had a book. Have been reading a story or two each day...makes a great bathroom book. My favorite is the one I read yesterday about Bill taking his preschool age daughter "hunting" (helping him scout for deer sign) and then coming home & watching big buck videos together. Kind of reminded me of ...

Carlin at his best
Carlin, you will be missed. You were an absolute genius, and always under appreciated. Rest in Peace.

Prayer That Brings Revival

Yong-Gi Cho

Charisma House, 1998

A Charismatic Challenge to Prayer
David Yonggi Cho pastors the largest church in the world with over 1 million members in Seoul, South Korea. How does a church of that size obey the "one anothers" of Scripture is for another debate but this church is one of the largest praying churches in the world. Cho adds that over 1 million people a year come and pray at Prayer Mountain (which is discussed in the book). The book once ...

How to Bring Your Children to Christ..& Keep Them There: Avoiding the Tragedy of False Conversion

Ray Comfort

Genesis Publishing Group, 2005

FABULOUS! Eye-Opening and Very Convicting!!!
Are you concerned about your children's salvation? This is the book for you! Having children myself, I went searching for a book that would address whether their salvation was, in fact, true. Of course, while God only knows their hearts, I still felt that I would not be fulfilling my parental duty if I didn't do my homework. I found this book very easy-to-understand, profound and ...

How One of You Can Bring the Two of You Together

Susan Page

Broadway, 1998

Can This Marriage Be Saved?
I wish I'd had this book when my first marriage ran into trouble. My counselor at that time told me the marriage could be saved only if both persons were willing to work on it and that one person could not save it alone. The focus of this book is on developing fresh perspectives about the relationship, overcoming resentment, recapturing lost intimacy and solving major problems, one at a time. ...

Who Brings Forth the Wind (Kensington Chronicles, Book 3)

Lori Wick

Harvest House Publishers, 2004

Great characters!
As I said in my review of the first volume of this series, I didn't think I'd like this series, but I adored this book. Tanner and Stacy are great characters and you really get a lot of emotion in this book, both romantic and spiritual. I also like how the ending played out - a slightly different variant than normal! This is definitely a keeper! Plus you get to see the characters from book ...

Anne Byrn

What Can I Bring?Cookbook
This is a book I wish I'd had when my kids were young. So many times I could have used this. But now my husband belongs to clubs which from time to time we have a potluck and this is very, very, helpful. Since we live in an age of color and pictures, I wish they had included pictures of the finished product and that way you'd know if yours was too soupy or too dry or whatever. Very helpful ...

Was That Really Me?: How Everyday Stress Brings Out Our Hidden Personality

5 reviews
Naomi L. Quenk

Davies-Black Publishing, 2002

So, was it really me?
This has to be one of the most interesting books I've yet read on Jungian/Briggsian personality type dynamics, and probably one of the most accurate as well, when it comes to predicting how a certain personality will react when under stress. Actually, that is the central topic to this fascinating book: how different, normal personalities react in different ways to external stressors, which vary, ...

Dave Burchett

WaterBrook Press, 2004

A BOOK YOU HAVE TO READ!
I was wounded by my church and I was devaststed. After reading Mr. Burchetts book, Bring em Back Alive, I realized that this book is a must read for all. I bought a few more copies and sent them out to others who were also hurt by their church. Mr.Burchett thank you! Your book had the answers that I needed answered in my mind and it was based on the scriptures. If any one reading this has ...

J. H. Powell

Kessinger Publishing, LLC, 2007

we learn from the past to gain in the present
Obviousely by what was written from the first reviewer he has no medical knowledge. This book portrays a disasterous time in Philadelphia that was repeated several times thereafter. However, the medical treatment in this time was based on the humours of the body : black bile, yellow bile, blood and phelgm. They utilized bloodletting and mercury concoctions to purge the body of "pestilence". ...

Training People: How to Bring Out the Best in Your Human

4 reviews
Tess of Helena

Chronicle Books, 2007

Perfect Dog - Human Book
Very funny book, and unique perspective on the dog-human relationship. Had me laughing out loud in several sections, especially as my own dog has trained me on some of Tess's same lessons. Also insightful to many human quirks, and how our habits are viewed from the dogs' perspective. Great gift for dog lovers, and keep one for yourself.

Steve Almond, Julianna Baggott

Algonquin Books of Chapel Hill, 2006

Great reading for pure pleasure
For the last two weeks I have spent my last waking moments curled up in bed with Jane and John, because this is one of those rare books that's so funny and thought-provoking that it deserves to be savored, in small sweet snatches. As each revealed their experiences and revelations about love, and floated them out on a river of good old chemical attraction, I got exactly what I wanted - a ...

Until They Bring the Streetcars Back

Stanley Gordon West

Lexington-Marshall Publishing, 1997

St. Paulite, Mn
This was such a dynamic read that I literally could not put it down. Having been raised in the setting of the story initially had me hooked, but the mystery of Gretch the wretch, and the solution to her unfamoble family horror had me turning the pages before I was done reading them. Cal is a hero in the same vein as Atticus Finch, someone who sticks up for rights of the unpopular and different. ...

I'll Bring the Chocolate: Satisfying a Woman's Craving for Friendship and Faith

Karen Porter

Multnomah Books, 2007

A Book No Woman Can Resist
Chocolate and Friends. What woman could resist that combination? I picked up this book expecting a shallow, pat yourself-on-the-back-feel-good little book. Was I surprised. Karen Porter asks tough questions, like this: Are you the object of your faith? That little sentence rose up and smacked me right between the eyes, and it didn't come with chocolate either. She has a lot of those sneaky ...

Bring on the Empty Horses (Coronet Books)

David Niven

Coronet Books, 1977

A Bit of Hollywood
David Niven is an often neglected actor from the Golden Age, but as a man, he was very likable. This book is proof that the talented actor was also a talented writer. He discusses many different people and scenerios in this book, the title of which is derived from an amusing incident on a film set. He writes with depth and clarity; it is obvious he has really analyzed the people he mentions. His ...

Daphne Miller

Collins Living, 2008

Good read; makes healthy eating fun
It's a travelogue, a nutrition advice book (complete with case studies), and a cookbook, too. Writing in the first person, Daphne Miller brings these three books together into one fun read. She's adventurous and curious, which makes a book about preventing diabetes, cancer and depression into a delight. Who'd have thought! Several ideas come together here: "Cold spots" are places in which ...
