It CURED his colic! My doctor once told me if I gave her the cure for colic, she'd be a millionaire and if I had a million ... 		  
  







  
  
Parenting Beyond Belief: On Raising Ethical, Caring Kids Without Religion39 reviews

AMACOM, 2007

Encouragement and resource referral guide for freethinking parents
I found this collection of short chapters by various humanist writers on how to instill morality and ethics in children without religion to be a real joy. The authors (including the editor) are clever, humorous, and kind-hearted. Despite their obvious intelligence, they do not talk down to the reader, and many chapters could be understood even by pre-adolescents. I am a ex-Christian who now ...

Jacqueline Marcell

Impressive Pr, 2000

Thank you for a WONDERFUL book. Both entertaining AND full of valuable information.
I wish to extend a huge thank you to Jacqueline for writing this book! My mother-in-law had been diagnosed with dementia and had progressed to point where we felt it was no longer safe to allow her to continue to live alone. Our problem was that she was fighting us "tooth and nail" at every turn. She did not realize the scope of her problem. She felt she merely could not remember things once ... 		  
  







  
  
Buddhism for Mothers: A Calm Approach to Caring for Yourself and Your Children28 reviews
Sarah Napthali

Allen & Unwin, 2003

food for the soul
I loved this book, it was really beautifully written, Sarah has a lovely style of writing. Her own personal stories were my favourite parts of the book but this book is much more about how to enrich our everyday lives with buddhism. The principles are outlined simply and applied to the painfully banal trials of parenting with compassion and humour. Forget any religious leanings, I recommend this ... 		  
  







  
  
Mothering Mother: A Daughter's Humorous and Heartbreaking Memoir42 reviews
Carol D. O'Dell

Kunati Inc., 2007

I wish I'd found this book sooner!
I thought "Mothering Mother" was enlightening, encouraging, humorous and heartwarming. I read excepts from it out loud to my husband and he asked me if Carol O'Dell was writing about her mother or MY mother! My Mom, the Ancient Toddler, has quite a few of the traits that Carol's Mother had. Carol doesn't pretend to have all the answers, but she does a terrific job exploring and writing about ...

Ozzie Tinman

Bebes & Gregory Publications, 2005

A Must Read, Essential If You Care About Someone With BPD
In my opinion this is hands down the best book out there for dealing with someone with borderline personality disorder. Yes, there is SWOE and other books that are out there, but One Way Ticket To Kansas is the only book that I have come across that is writen from the perspective of a spouse. It is also the only book out there that explains in detail the eratic and seriouly disturbed behaviors ...

Making the Assist: Caring for Those with Cancer12 reviews
J. David Pitcher

Thomas Nelson, 2006

"Making the Assist"
Not only do I rate "Making the Assist", but I rate Dr. Pitcher as well with five stars. Dr. Pitcher is the perfect example of what a health professional and a human being in today's society should be. I have always been the kind of person that takes the time to smell the roses and be thankful for all that I have been so furtunate to have, but Dr. Pitcher has influenced me and shown me that more ...

Michele, Ed.D. Borba, Michele Borba

Jossey-Bass, 1999

All Diamonds In The Rough Need Polishing
This book is one of the gems -- a diamond in the rough -- on parenting. Written in simple language, it's the "basic course" on "HOW TO RAISE KIDS WITH SOLID CHARACTER, STRONG MINDS, AND CARING HEARTS". So read, use, and understand. Hmm. Understand? What do you do when the kids ask, "WHY?"! Hmm. You'll need a book that makes you understand -- in simple language -- the philosophy of WHY character ...

Heaven on Earth11 reviews
Danny Seo

Atria, 1999

Amazing...very practical
I saw Danny on CBS This Morning sharing ideas from his book Heaven on Earth. I ran out that morning and bought it and was pleasently surprised. Danny's ideas are so simple and easy to do. He tells you where you can, for example, send your cell phones so watchdog groups can use them to call 911. Or where to send sneakers so Nike can recycle them into playground surfacing. This book is ... 		  
  







  
  
Caring Enough to Lead: Schools and the Sacred Trust13 reviews
Leonard O. Pellicer

Corwin Press, 1999

Caring Enough to Lead: Schools and the Sacred Trust
Pellicer's book was an excellent book for anyone in the education field. Through short essays, he gives a clear, sometimes humorous, always honest view of what it takes to be a successful leader. While reading this book, I was able to personalize many of the experiences he speaks of and apply the lessons that he has learned through the years to my own life and career goals. Because of the way ...
