Under the Banner of Heaven: A Story of Violent Faith701 reviews
Jon Krakauer
Anchor, 2004
There but for" the Grace of God "(?) go you and I
I loved this book. Krakauer (as Into Thin Air: A Personal Account of the Mt. Everest Disaster) manages to give an even-handed account of a quintessentially controversial topic. This book delivers a detailed but never boring, account of Mormon history, and its relevance to today's America and world. It's the story of the Mormon Church in America, and its division into mainstream and ...

Have a New Kid by Friday: How to Change Your Child's Attitude, Behavior & Character in 5 Days21 reviews
Dr. Kevin Leman
Revell, 2008
Wish I'd had this book 20 years ago!
As a mother of four adult children and a (young) grandmother of four, I knew I wanted this book! By the time my strong-willed toddlers had become teens I had painted myself into a corner with popular "democratic" parenting techniques that eroded my confidence and credibility. Though I had the good sense to balance my limited parenting skills with boatloads of prayer, this doctor's prescription ...

Love Letters Of Great Men And Women: From The Eighteenth Century To The Present Day7 reviews
C. H. Charles
Kessinger Publishing, LLC, 2007
Simply Amazing
Like most I bought this book because I assumed is was the one from the Sex and the City movie. I don't think it is, but it's an amazing book all the same. The authors' writing is so beautiful, and the choice of letters reveal so much about the historical figures that wrote them.
I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys romance and artful writing. I'm sure this will be a book I read over ...

Julia G. Thompson

wow
Wow. I bought this book for myself, knowing that it might be helpful as a college supervisor of teachers. I started earmarking important pages and soon found that I was marking each page, so I just bought copies for all my students. I find this book more useful that Wong's first year teaching book, but that's great also.

A Life-Changing Miracle of a Book!
Shirlee Kalstone's book LITERALLY changed my life. I had skimmed over this book at the pet supply store but thought, "Very interesting...but surely I'LL never need it because teaching MY puppy to 'go' outside will be a snap." Two weeks, one wet, yellow floor, and two peed-on couch cushions later, I was at wit's end, finally admitting to myself I needed help (BADLY), as it seemed that my ...
