A pleasant way to spend an evening.
Reading the novella based on the letters of the author's great-grandparents was a pleasant way to spend an evening. The epistolary form (with its built-in sense of reality) is very appealing to most readers. What I found most interesting, however, is how good the writing is--particularly the lack of authorial self consciousness that advertises inexperience, and is so hard to overcome in fiction. ...

These Happy Golden Years (Laura Years)

Laura Ingalls Wilder

HarperChildrensAudio, 2006

Classics
I love the Laura books, I can remember my mother reading them to me when I was young. Since then, I've read then again and it never ceases to delight me. My only complaint though, is that the illistrations are pathetic. They don't even look real, so I had a hard time seeing Laura as a real person. For me, when I see lifelike drawings, it really makes get in touch with their character. The ...

I want to read more about Caroline Ingalls.
I purchased this book at Barnes & Noble, and I'm so glad that I did-this book was so wonderful, from beginning to end! I had to read it two times, and I'm planning to read it again a third time this weekend. This is the Caroline Ingalls we all know and love. I want to get more books about her. This book has also interested me in learning more about pioneer life in the 19th century. I won't tell ...

The technique of the love affair (The Soho Library)

Doris Langley-Levy Moore

Gerald Howe, 1933

the previous review is just stupid
Why do people post who have NOT read the book they are writing a review for?! Like the poster below. Don't bother seeking Dorothy Parker's review of Technique of the Love Affair, like I did, thinking Parker maybe wrote more, because it's IN THE BOOK! And is, like, a paragraph long, at best; more than half is quoted on the very page you're reading! That rant aside, I love this book. While one ...

More Dates from Hell: True Stories from Survivors

Plume, 1995

Giggle Fest!
I laughed so hard, I nearly peed my pants. The stories are ridiculously weird, and hard-to-believe-but-true, and you'll read them over and over again. A great book to read with girlfriends. If I didn't read about it, I would have never believed it. It was a great roadtrip read; I recited some of the stories to my sis as we drove to New York City! Non-stop laughter!

Simon & Schuster, 2007

Useful For Discussion And Self Examination
While I agree on that message the book conveys would be considered 'common sense', I am continuously amazed at how little common sense I encounter in the world at large. There are too many couples who rush into marriage without considering that the commitment they are entertaining is larger than themselves. I think the book serves as a tool for use in self examination and reflection, hopefully ...

One of my favorites
One of my favorite SF books for its richly-detailed world, which is almost a fantasy setting. (Just who are the Mankre time wizards?)

Holding Hands, Holding Hearts: Recovering a Biblical View of Christian Dating

6 reviews
Richard D. Phillips, Sharon L. Phillips

P & R Publishing, 2006

Clear Biblical Thinking and Practical Application
The dating versus courtship arguments in my opinion, have largely fallen into two inadequate camps. Courtship (often) is defended as the preferable option because it was the norm in Biblical culture. Our modern context is usually written off while the cultural practice of the past becomes the normative Biblcal command for us now. I had trouble making that leap. And I found that many who ...

Harlequin, 1998

A REALLY GREAT STORY - WORTHY OF BEING A HISTORICAL
For a man who didn't know how to win a woman's heart, Matt Prescott made a good job of it. Aaron Prescott, nearly 15, wanted a wife for his father and a mother for his brothers and sister. He wanted his father to be happy again. Benjamin and Clement were special brothers and Del, the littlist, a cute sister. Clement did the trapping for pelts and Benjamin was great at collecting honey and Del ...

It helped me to define what love really is and how much you need of it to marry. It covers everything from before courtship to engagement. The engagement questions asked are great.

Inspiring and Soul Searching
This book talked about how women take too much for granted when it come to relationships. Cheryl told us about some of her unforseen relationships. If more women and men would read her book they would understand relationships according to God. Also about how we have to let God direct our path in our relationships. We all should always let God direct our path. I have told many of the people in our ...

Zig Ziglar

Ballantine Books, 1996

Very funny, very real!
Zig Ziglar has always been one of my favorite authors/motivational speakers . . . in fact, he wrote the first positive thinking book I ever read--the classic SEE YOU AT THE TOP. I read that book in college and have devoured just about everything Ziglar has produced--with the possible exception of COURTSHIP AFTER MARRIAGE . . . for some reason, I had missed that one when it came out back in ...

Lawana Blackwell

Bethany House Publishers, 1999

A great read. A gifted author.
I enjoyed every minute of the time spent reading this series. Lawanna Blackwell is a gifted author who spends the requisite time to craft novels that are encouraging, heart warming and true to life. Unlike so many authors who write in this genre, Ms. Blackwell's work does not assault/insult the intelligence of her readership. I have read every book of hers published to date and each leaves me ...
