The Courage to Teach: Exploring the Inner Landscape of a Teacher's Life 48 reviews
Parker J. Palmer
Jossey-Bass, 1997
A Book to Re-Read
Some books speak so deep to our soul that they help facilitate some type of life-change. We will always cherish these books for their ability to speak directly to us, no matter our life stage, for they carry in them principles that transcendent time. As if magical, each time we re-read these books they renew a fire within us or produce new truths that we missed in our first encounter. Some of ...

A workbook for a journey
This workbook is paperback and has lots of room for notes and comments. Well construsted and felxable for use as a workbook. For any survivor this is a very needful journey. This book and its author has gathered the tools that many have but don't know how to use and helps us understand what to do and how to do it. I have greatly benefitted from this. It is a book well recieved by my therapist. ...

David Wells
Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 2008
A must read for serious Christians
You must read this book if you desire to understand why Christian churches are heading off in so many bad directions. Read this especially if you are grieved over the decisions your own church leadership is making.

The Courage of Sarah Noble305 reviews

Aladdin, 1991
The best adventure book...kid review
Sarah Noble went with her father through the wilderness to build a house in New Milford, Connecticut. She met new friends who were Native Americans. Sarah stayed with them when her father went off to get the rest of her family. The best part is the ending but I am not going to tell you what happens. I recommend this to kids that like adventure stories.

Undaunted Courage : Meriwether Lewis, Thomas Jefferson, and the Opening of the American West348 reviews
Stephen Ambrose
Simon & Schuster, 1997
A Story of True Courage
Wow! This was the first Stephen Ambrose book I ever read. Now I'm hooked. His attention to detail is incredible. How those guys survived attacks by savages, grizzly bears, and other forces of nature is hard to imagine.
Ambrose takes the reader step-by-step through the journey, from the inception, all the way to the explorers' triumphant journey home, and beyond.
Once you read this book, you ...

The Courage to Heal 4e: A Guide for Women Survivors of Child Sexual Abuse 20th Anniversary Edition130 reviews
Ellen Bass, Laura Davis

Bashing
I read so many reviews on here that say that this book is filth and a horrible buy and that whomever is interested should seek professional help and advice. I am currently seeing a licensed therapist and conferred with her over whether or not this would help and she supported it 100%. Yes admittedly there is such a thing as 'bad therapy' where they foster and encourage mistaken beliefs of abuse ...

Just A Thought In Todays 213-212 House Energy Vote July 31 2008
I bought this book and it's a nice read and very historical, of course. I just wanted to put it in context today. 07/31/08 The house voted 213-212 not to extend the session. The main reason it was brought up was to debate the issue of our nations energy future One vote mattered to keep Congress in session, it voted against that debate. I wonder if that can be pinpointed to a single Representative ...

THE COURAGE TO TEACH: Exploring the Inner Landscape of A Teacher's Life
Great book which is helpful to younger teachers to give them more positive perspective and to older teachers to help rekindle the flame of their beginning years.
Book seller was great and accomodated a shipping change at the last moment. Everything went very well.

Thanks for help with my budget
I bought all the books on my daughter's AP English class list from Amazon.com's associate bookseller's program after running all over town just to find the first one on the list. All the books were better quality than described and I got the whole list (a long one) for $60 including shipping. Everybody shipped promptly from all over the world, and she has what she needs. Thanks, Amazon!

Life Saver
I have owned this book since the year it was published in 1992. I have read it almost every night for the last 14 years off and on but mostly on. I am always amazed and brought to tears as to how accurate the message is on any given day. I had a breif relationship with an addict that ended over 10 years ago but this book is the one true gift that I was given from that experience as it truly is ...

A great companion to the book

Ulysses Press, 2005
Compelling and pragmatic
As a disability service provider, I found this book particularly helpful. It is practical and to the point. Veterans can find tips on everything from how to sleep better to how to relax and cope with stressors. The triggers of anxiety are explained well, as are the ways veterans typically handle their pain. At the end of each chapter are helpful tips for family members. After I read it, I ordered ...

The Courage to Be24 reviews
Paul Tillich
Yale University Press, 2000
Surprised me by how much it spoke to my situation
It seemed at the beginning that it would be too abstract. Too involved in a history of philosophy in its discussion of the Stoics. That Tillich was asserting too much, as if "ex cathedra". But even in the early chapters, I sensed something special and by the time I reached Chapter 4 ("Courage and Participation: The Courage to Be as a Part"), I began to feel the my current situation was being ...

Stephen Crane
Pocket, 2005
One of the great novels written about war
I read this book in school as a kid and I recently picked it up and read it again. It is a short work and only takes a few hours to read through. The style is definitely of the 19th century and you need to read it slowly and carefully to understand the nuances of the description and inner dialogs. Taking the time to do so is vastly rewarding-this is truly a great psycho-historical novel.

The Many Faces Of Courage
As Maya Angelou has said "One isn't necessarily born with courage, but one is born with potential." If you agree with this philosophy, then you realize that courage, as character, must be fostered and developed.
Bernard Waber's book works so well because it shows young readers the many faces of courage. There are the obvious kinds -firefighters entering a burning building, mountain climbers ...

Why Courage Matters: The Way to a Braver Life50 reviews
John McCain, Marshall Salter
Ballantine Books, 2008
Courage to whip his supporters into patriotic frenzy
Like everyone else who talks about him, I have the greatest respect for what McCain did for his country 40 years ago. He is a man of great honor and bravery and blah-di-blah-di-blah. He, and his equally bold running mate Sara Palin have shown great courage recently during their campaign rallies when they bravely spew their completely false yet necessary statements about Obama's un-American and ...

Gary A. Haugen
IVP Books, 2008
Just Read It (Just Courage)!
This is one of the best books I've read this year. It is concise, well written, and challenging.
I bought multiple copies to help stir conversations about the 27 million in human tracking today.
I read the book in two days (literally)-- it was that good.

Like all of the books in the series I couldn't put it down
An other stellar performance for Johnstone, the pages come alive and you are there with the rebels as they take the fight to the bad guys. I have marched through every state in the nation with Ben Raines and his team and although, I have never been to most of them William makes me fell that I have. The book is full action and adventure and once yuou start ,you can't stop he keeps you ...
