Francis Chan, Danae Yankoski
David C. Cook, 2008
Best book I've read in a long time
This book is phenomenal. It changed my life and continues to each day. Francis presents the truth of what it means to be a disciple of Jesus Christ. He invites us to the challenge and reality that we're called to give everything up if Jesus asks for it. He reminds us that obedience is the key to genuine discipleship.
Lots of Scripture, great illustrations...this book will keep you on your ...

Crazy About Cupcakes24 reviews

Sterling, 2006
Love it!
I'm one of those busy office workers who does not seem to have the time to make things. This book is wonderful! It teaches me to slow down and take care in measuring and mixing because the results are absolutely smooth, moist and just divine! I would like to start off by saying that baking is not really my thing because I would not know where to start. In fact, this is the BEST category to ...

Yhrow All the Politicians Out!
Goldberg is right on .... he shines the light of greedy self interest on both parties. Those of us who think the system is broke, and anything the politicians do to attempt fixing it only make it worse, will love this book.

Lettering in Crazy Cool Quirky Style (Klutz)14 reviews
Klutz, 2006
Another Great Klutz Product
I used this book for my church group girls ages 8-12. They loved trying out the different types of lettering for the cards they send to shut ins. The stencils were great for the younger ones, but the older ones wanted to try it all on their own and came up with some really unique looking cards. I was able to run copies of the pages and pass them around as there are 30 of them. Letters were ...

Crazy for God: How I Grew Up as One of the Elect, Helped Found the Religious Right, and Lived to Take All (or ...66 reviews
Frank Schaeffer
Da Capo Press, 2008
A Story that Needed to be told!
I first read Frank Schaeffer's book "Baby Jack The Novel" and felt it was a brilliant story and well written. I never realized that this author was the also the same guy who was one of those fundamentalist leaders who helped marry the religious right to the GOP. In his newest book "Crazy for God" the author writes a very personal and brutally honest memoir, that opens up and exposes the ...

Lego Crazy Action Contraptions: A Lego Inventions Book (Klutz)30 reviews
Dan Rathjen
Klutz Press, 1998
The best addition to any Lego collection
My son has a HUGE bin of Legos and enjoys building and rebuilding. This box/kit really challenges him. The best part is most of the contraptions have a function. He loves the candy dispenser made with Legos and rubber bands.
I highly recommend this for any Lego lover!

Great book!
I read this book as a child and puchased it to read to my 4 year old son. He loved the book. He did not want me to stop reading it. Roald Dahl is a great author. I recommend purchasing "The BFG", by the same author, which my son liked even more.

My 2 year old daughter LOVES Skippyjon Jones... I've bought all the board books for her that are available & am planning to buy the picture books as well. I personally love & enjoy the drawings, they are SO life-like to how a cat acts & looks, right down to the mischievousness in his eyes & his little front teeth. She loves his antics and all the things she can look at, point to, and the words ...

Great Speeches by Native Americans (Dover Thrift Editions)2 reviews
Chief Joseph, Sitting Bull, ...
Dover Publications, 2000
A glimpse into what we lost when Native American culture was decimated. An absolutely gripping book.
I can't recommend this book highly enough. Aside from being full of speeches and insights that belong in the Classics section of any decent library, the strong and concise way in which these speakers convey the greatness of Native American thought and culture is unlike anything you will ever get from your favorite writer of history books, or contemporary decendant of these great people.
I ...

Roald Dahl
Puffin, 2007
"That is the Trunchball's Great Secret..."
One of the last novels written before Roald Dahl's death, "Matilda" reads almost like a goodbye, with a thank-you to all the authors that have touched Dahl during his lifetime - the text even includes a reading list of books recommended to Matilda - and through her, to the reader. And Matilda herself, despite being female, could very well be a reflection of Dahl himself as a child: a precocious ...

This lively, funny and, at times, moving book is full of information about the origins of Southwest Airlines, what makes it unique and how it fights hard to keep its family-based culture, despite having more than 33,000 employees. Wonderful stories told by employees, letters from customers and comments ...

Sometimes I Act Crazy: Living with Borderline Personality Disorder22 reviews
Jerold J., M.D. Kreisman, Hal Straus
Wiley, 2006
Found "Action Steps" Very Helpful
In reading about mental health issues, so many times one can read a book about the problem and ongoing research and still be left with a sense that nothing concrete can be done now. After reading several books on borderline personality disorder (BPD), what I liked in particular about this book is that it provides a list of "ACTION STEPS" at the end of each chapter. This has greatly helped in ...

My Weird School #1: Miss Daisy Is Crazy! (My Weird School)8 reviews
Dan Gutman
HarperTrophy, 2004
If you've ever taught second grade...
I discovered Dan Gutman's Weird School series from tutoring a second grade boy who "hated reading." Not only did he like the books, I loved them!
Second graders are the crazy ones, and these books remind me of when I taught second grade. In fact, I think Dan Gutman must really be a second grader in disguise as a grown-up...

You Gotta be Kidding! The Crazy Book of "Would you Rather" Questions3 reviews
Randy Horn
Workman Publishing Company, 2006
Fun for Kids
I purchased this for my 10 year old for Christmas. He loves it! He and his friends are constantly asking one another made up 'would you rather' questions. Now, they have 400 more to ask.
I really like the facts at the bottom of each page, without those, this book wouldn't be as much of a learning experience for kids. It really gets them thinking, talking, learning and laughing!
