Great Summer Read!
This book is absolutely hysterical, especially for teachers like me! Done paints the picture of what it is really like to be in our profession; it's truthful, yet inspiring. I found myself saying, "That is so true!" aloud almost every page. It's perfect to take to the pool or beach for a quick, entertaining read!

Peter F. Drucker, 2004

Gloria Mallette

Kensington, 2007

When Darkness Falls
Gloria Mallette's latest novel focuses on a subject that's nearly as old as time itself - sibling rivalry. Since they were children, to say sisters Celeste and Katrina didn't get along is an understatement. Katrina hated her little sister with a passion. Whenever she could do something to upset Celeste she did. Although the sisters' always had problems, it was Katrina's decision to sleep with ...

She tells true stories about herself or someone she knows, then gives a spiritual lesson she learned from that happening, backs up her insighs ...

In Spite Of

Victor McGlothin

Well Done Books, 1998

In Spite of the fact I couldn't put the book down.
Twice John Holloway Sr., is placed in the wrong place at the wrong time and end up paying dearly for it. It took John Jr., to outwit the deception that was thrown upon him, to settle the score for him and his dad. I really enjoyed the drama and would really like to see this novel made into a movie.

12 reviews
Christopher M. Avery, Meri Aaron Walker, ...

Berrett-Koehler Publishers, 2001

The first sentence floored me
The book entitled "Teamwork is an Individual Skill" is quite interesting. I work at a large semi-conductor manufacturer as a non-exempt fab technician on a self managed team on night shift. I am the most experienced and capable person on my team, yet with all of my background I have come to realize how relatively little influence I often have on team performance, and on my ability to push the ...

Murray N. Rothbard

Ludwig von Mises Institute, 2005

Excellent Inroduction to the Gold Standard
If you want to come across as a quack, then at your next cocktail party drop, "I think we should be on the gold standard." The response of the room will inform you that you are heterodox. Yet, like much of the free-market, many individuals simply don't know what the 'gold standard' is. This book encapsulates the free-market approach to money and, you know what, it makes a whole heck of a lot ...

An Enemy Hath Done This by Ezra Taft Benson
This book does an excellent job of outlining what American freedom is, why it exists, and what must be done to keep it.

Every good citizen should read this book, heed its warnings, and take the actions urged by its learned author.

12 reviews
Brian Power-Waters

Writers Club Press, 2001

Alarmist? No! It's True
Whether it's airline practices, the two-person cockpit crew, or just plain bad design, Captain Brian is all over it. He's particularly hard on the FAA, from a lot of different angles. He points out that they can't possibly do the job they're saying they're doing, and that their delegates (DERs and airline employee-supervisors) aren't as interested in safety as in keeping the schedules met. He ...

What Have They Done with Jesus?

12 reviews

HarperCollins e-books, 2007

Taking on the revisionists
Common to the Christological revisionists are claims that there are lost or suppressed Christianities, and that there is a radical discontinuity between who Jesus really was and how he was represented by his early - and later - followers. What much of this amounts to is an attempt to rewrite history, to undermine the reliability of the New Testament, and to recreate Jesus in the image of liberal ...

Been There Should've Done That: 505 Tips for Making the Most of College

11 reviews
Suzette Tyler

Front Porch Press, 1997

if you want a true perspective...
What I liked the best about the book is that it's told in students' own words -- students from a number of colleges commenting on topics ranging from how to schedule classes to handling homesickness to handling finances to getting along with that up-all-night roommate. You're getting the real scoop on college life from the people who are LIVING it, not what the admission literature says. As ...
