Finding Noel

Richard Paul Evans

Center Point Large Print, 2006

The Real Story
The irony of fictional writing is that it works best when it comes from a real place. According to author Richard Paul Evans, the background story of his novel "Finding Noel," is drawn from the real-life story of Celeste Edmunds, a woman with whom he used to work. As with his previous books, this is a personal work for Evans; he uses family names, origins, religion, illness and little ...

Stenhouse Publishers, 2006

what a difference
My district has used a reading and writing workshop approach for at least ten years. This book has truly helped me to step back and take the time needed at the beginning of the year to establish strong routines. I don't believe the information is new, it is just laid out in a consise, reader friendly manner. My students are much more on-task and quiet during literacy work times. The "first 25 ...

Christopher Alexander

Wonderful!
This book is the quintessential book on the subject of creating authentic living spaces. This book provides a near mystical approach to architecture in a very simplistic form that anyone can understand.

Charles Martin

Center Point Books, 2005

wonerful characterizations of southern people
The Dead Don't Dance is simply marvelous. Charles Martin has written a profound novel of life in the South without creating ridiculous characters. The protagonist is a man trying to find meaning in his life after the death of his firstborn and the half-life of his wife after she lapsed into a coma following complications from the birth. A must read for anyone searching for meaning in their ...

An Ordinary Man (Readers Circle)

Paul Rusesabagina, Tom Zoellner

Center Point Large Print, 2008

Phenomenal Biography, modestly written
I purchased this book two months before I had the courage to read it. I feared it would be too upsetting and entirely depressing to engage myself in. The book begins with a wonderful history of Paul's life. His vivid descriptions of The Land of A Thousand Hills, the banana beer, the family, his path to hotel management. It is an interesting story about a young man growing up in Africa. ...

Roses for Mama

Janette Oke

Center Point Large Print, 2002

All-Time-Favorite Janette Oke
I first read "Roses For Mama" when I was 13 (many years ago), and was completely "hooked" on this story from the start. I have read it over and over and keep thinking about the characters and events even though it's been about a year since my last read. This is excellent fiction for readers of all ages - particularly for teenage girls, as it provides good moral lessons that are strongly needed ...

Ken Keyes

Living Love Center, 1973

Read it Twice!
This is a pragmatic book. I first got this book back in the 70s. I didn't realize what a treasure this book is. This book will simply teach you how to be successful and happy always. Successful as in let go of the emotional junk that keeps you held back, keeps you sleepy, and all that. Sounds hokey? Well, that's why I didn't read it for about 20 to 30 years. I skimmed it, saw one line in ...

Helps me in ALL of my training
I am a teacher of Yoshinkan Aikido with 30 years of training in various martial arts, including Taichi and now Chin Na. I have been familiar with Dr Yang's works but never owned any of his books until last year. I finally had an opportunity to attend one of his seminars and now study with some of his students. I am also trying to collect as much of his works as I can. I found this book to ...

Meditations on Violence: A Comparison of Martial Arts Training & Real World Violence

Rory Miller

YMAA Publication Center, 2008

One of the best books on self-protection ever written!
"Meditations on Violence: A Comparison of Martial Arts Training & Real World Violence" is without a shadow of a doubt one of the best books on self-protection ever written. I really enjoy books that cut through the crap and give useful (i.e. potentially life-saving) advice in a down to earth and accessible way. Rory has a great writing style and the hard-won information he presents is imparted in ...

This One and Magic Life: a Novel of a Southern Family

31 reviews
Anne George

Center Point Large Print, 2004

Laden with Happiness and Tears
Spaces and overlaps and the time space continuum. Family, heart, soul, southern fiction at its very richest. Voices from the grave and a meeting of the generations as a family icon passes through this world. Mortality, as seen through a veil of overlaps and spaces, quirks and characters. Sunrise, Sunset - flows through the chapters like the water of Mobile Bay. Bittersweet beauty woven ...

Center for International Studies, Cornell University, 1991

Motel of the Mysteries
It was recomended by a teacher friend. It's quirky, funny & full of imagination. I have read books by Elisabeth Peters on archeology & discovering Egyption tombs so I enjoyed this because it challenges the imagination on what future scientists might discover about our civilization.

Stenhouse Publishers, 2003

LOVE IT
I actually have two copies of this book. I had misplaced my first copy and had to have another one. I use these ideas throughout my kindergarten classroom. It would be even better for first and second grade classrooms. I use the "I Can" lists and management board ideas. This book really helps make centers work. I plan on giving one as a gift any time I have a student teacher. If you can only ...
