Storytelling at it's finest. I'm in love with this look.
Sheer brilliance. Normally, it takes me forever to complete a book but I couldn't out this book down. From the first sentence I was a slave to this story; or should I say stories. The characters were real and the storytelling process was hypnotic. I think I'll pass on looking into the background of my own family, though. It has been years since a book owned me the way this book has. For months ...

Wonderful
When our first child was five, she asked us for her very own prayer book. This was the one we chose, and it has been wonderful both for her and her brother. The book is only 25 pages, but it is filled with the most important prayers in the Jewish liturgy, beginning, after the prayer thanking God for a good night's sleep, with the Shema, the watchwords of the Jewish faith. As the English text ...

McCarthy's tale of a Southern Ed Gein where Horror becomes Art
I love horror of any kind; novels, short stories, movies, you name it. Being from Tennessee, I'm especially drawn to "rural legends" about backwoods boogie men that you often wonder are or aren't lurking somewhere off in the woods beyond your back doorstep. My first McCarthy book was "Blood Meridian", which I devoured this past spring. I say devoured as it totally consumed my reading time but ...

Revell
, 2003
Jesus says that if you want to enter his kingdom, you need to be a child again. No doubting the truth, scrambling for stuff, or fussing about the future. Just pure, simple living-and a faith that believes Christ's words, embraces his love, and follows his example. But how, in this complicated world, can adults live like that? According to Johnny Parker, they can listen and learn from the children around them. Kids teach profound spiritual ...

The Christian Parent's Companion
This is a Christian devotional book for parents who believe in Jesus Christ and want to raise their children as Christians. The book guides parents in praying for their children by praying the scriptures themselves. I found this book at a time when my 3-year-old was driving me nuts. I wanted to pray for her to be better behaved and for me to cope better, but I didn't know where to start. This ...

Offers Hope and Healing
I grew up in a stable family and in a church community of stable families. Divorce was almost unknown among the Christians I knew as a child. But as I looked to friends and family outside the bounds of the church I saw many broken homes. My parents let us see these families and I think they wanted us to see them as an object lesson in the reality that God is the one who had bound our family ...

This is an excent book for kids
I bought this book for my 3year old daughter, 'cos I like to get her a little something since its really was her 7yr old brother's birthday. I didn't realize that it came with a cd at first. Both by 7yr old and 3yr old love the book and cd, they like to sing along at least twice at bedtime. We flip thru the beautiful pictures and sing along . . . by the way, what wonderful words to live by. ...

Best taken with a few grains of salt and a full glass of water.
I read all of the reviews, including the horrible ones, prior to reading the book, yet I still found it an interesting account of a truly lost soul. It was gut wrenching, banal, fun, desperate, amusing, mundane, tragic, deceptive,and spooky all in one story. The emphasis placed on the events prior to and after the August 1969-March 1972 was good. Little can be said of the crimes and the trial ...

Easy explaination on hard to concieve concepts about God
My two boys, (three and five years old) love this book and request it to be read to them! I was enlightened on how the author made concepts about God easy to for young children to grasp and enjoy. This is also a great book to keep on hand for when hard to answer questions come up about God, and the purpose of Jesus. Highly reccomend it to everyone!

One of the Greatest Books Ever Written!
As a mother of 6 children under 7, I was looking for a book to simply teach bible doctine to my children. This book has a very organized way of laying out who God is, what that means to my children, and what their role is in their world. The excerpts are short enough to keep their attention, but thorough to cover the concept. I love this book and love reading it to my children before bed. I ...

I ended this book at a lost. Is this the end? Alot of their problems have come to a close and the couple do come full circle in this book, which usually signifies the end. The group even separates at the end, but is this REALLY the end? I don't know. Maigere finally reaches her goal. Leesil comes to terms with his family and gets his wedding. The bad guy is done away with...or so we are ...

I Could Really Relate
I was so desperate for help one night when I found this book on Amazon. I have a son with Asperger Syndrome and I could really relate to Penny and Tim's story. My husband and I are Christians, my husband is a Pastor, and I'm always asking that question to God,"why my little boy? This book helped me to understand that just because were Christians it doesn't mean that bad things can't happen to ...

Finally, a book that teaches sex based on the Bible!
I have been looking for help on how to raise my 2 very young children knowing that sex is wonderful when it comes at the right time. RIGHT being the operative word. I found the scriptural references to be solid in their interpretation, and their knowledge about how sex fits in earthly life to be just what we parents need. They suggest teaching children about their sexuality as early as possible ...

Wonderful!
I absolutely loved this story. The second the characters walked onto the page, I never wanted them to leave. I can't wait for my two girls, ages 13 and 11, to read it. What a wonderful job Tera's done portraying the struggles of everyday teen life with an imaginative twist. New girl at school, clicks, evil stepsister, boys, and the excitement of new love. All done with taste. As a mom of ...

Exposure of a church of lies-THANK-YOU SO MUCH!!
Awesome and intelligently written. Well documented. Finally someone who knows about it exposes the lies and damage. You won't believe what this book reveals. Protect your family and children-secrets revealed in this book show you what happens to those who buy in to these beliefs and why the truth must come out and fought for the safety of all. I found this book significant in the revelation ...

Follow That Guinea Pig! (A Culture Is As a Culture Clues & Eats?)
Follow any mention of the guinea pig in GOD SAVE THE CHILD. It's like a clue-magnet for unraveling character, plot, and purpose (or motives, however you want to call it). Parker opens ths second Spenser novel with the P.I. droning in liquid narration, turning fool's gold into the functional lead of realism. Spenser artfully exposes his disgust for the husband/wife clients in his office. ...
