Strong women, with a stronger faith in God

Healing powers are bestowed on Maggie, and the burden of her gift at times becomes too much for her to bear or understand. Maggie's mother and grandmother play a huge part in her life, as does Maggie's first experience with love. Maggie meets Alex, and during the summer, they spend time on the farm, ...

Every Day is a Good Day: Reflections of Contemporary Indigenous Women

Wilma Mankiller

Fulcrum Publishing, 2004

A book to savor
Wilma Mankiller, along with a distinguished and talented cast of other Indian women, have created a book to savor in Every Day is a Good Day. Their highly individual perspectives on spirituality, history, culture, and womanhood should appeal to men as well as women and people of all cultures. The book dispels a number of myths long held by non-Indians who may be well-meaning but poorly informed. ...

A Painful Exploration, Well Done
Robert was a bright and promising student and a good pianist, but that was before his accident. He fell while mountain climbing, and is now severely brain-damaged. Living in a group home, probably one of the best of its kind, he spends his days dependent on what he calls "paid caregivers." Now he is writing his journal, trying to put his jumbled thoughts on paper (on computer) with the help of ...

Equipped for Every Good Work: Building a Gifts-Based Church

Dan R. Dick, Barbara Miller

Discipleship Resources, 2001

An Excellent Tool to Start Building
I purchased this book more than two years ago and basically set it aside. A year ago I picked it up again and asked my pastoral supervisor to lead the workshop that is laid out within the book. It was a powerful experience for six members of our small congregation plus myself. Those of us who participated the first time around will be leaders for repeats of the workshop and a multi-week class ...

Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge: The Book of Mnemonic Devices

10 reviews
Rod L. Evans

Perigee Trade, 2007

Fascinating and practical
I have spent hours meandering through this maze of mnemonic devices, and yet I find a new and clever one each time I look. There is something for everyone to enable us to remember things we never thought we would. The section on Spanish verbs will surely come in handy. I particularly like the mathematical and technical sections. After Dr. Evans's book, how can one remain content recalling the ...

Howell Book House, 1997

Best book I've read on teaching manners to the family dog
This little volume is pure gold. Some may criticize this book as not being advanced enough, or not containing new information - they are missing the point. Ultimately this is a book about educating people about how to help their dogs learn good people manners. While the context is preparing for the American Kennel Club's Canine Good Citizen test, really this book is for any dog owner. If you ...

Every Good-Bye Ain't Gone

Itabari Njeri

Vintage, 1991

oustanding, lively historical memoir
In this lively, entertaining and searingly emotional memoir, Itabari Njeri explores growing up black and female. With honesty and insight, she explains how race impacted her childhood and her adult life. However, the chapters that most stood out for me were those that dealt with her personal life. I was especially affected by her jarringly emotional account of her abortion -- she tells of the ...

Five Good Minutes With the One You Love: 100 Mindful Practices to Deepen & Renew Your Love Every Day (Five ...

Jeffrey, M.D. Brantley, Wendy Millstine

New Harbinger Publications, 2008

Not at all what I was looking for
I have two other books in the "five good minutes" series, including "evening" and "morning." Both are good for short, thought-filled breaks to make me more mindful of little pleasures, calm moments, or just to take a deep breath in a hectic life. I had hoped for similar material in this book, but designed for two people. I was very, very disappointed! The book is broken out much like the ...

Convenient and Thorough
The single most useable and thorough scripturally-sound book on Angels I have ever read! A great study guide and, at the same time, pleasant reading. I encourage anyone with an interest in angels to read this book!
