Males, Nails, Sample Sales: Everything a Woman Must Know to be Smarter, Savvier, Saner, Sooner7 reviews
Stephanie Pierson

Simon & Schuster, 2006

Live-saving laughs!
This is mandatory reading. NO woman should EVER be allowed to enter into a relationship, take a new job, furnish her home, plan a party, shop for clothes, contemplate a vacation or raise children until she has this hilarious gem on hand. I just ordered a whole pile of them to give to ALL the women in my life -- especially my adult daughters while they're still young enough to avoid their ... 		  
  







  
  
Everything That Rises Must Converge18 reviews
Flannery O'Connor

Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 1965

"Floundering around in the thoughts of various unsavory characters."
For her first collection of stories ("A Good Man Is Hard to Find"), O'Connor gathered an assortment that had been previously published in magazines; the result was a fascinating, but unsystematic, potpourri of experimentation and originality. As she prepared the stories for "Everything That Rise Must Converge," however, she instead developed each selection under a thematic framework. (Only the ...

Brian McLaren

Thomas Nelson, 2007

One of the most important books I've ever read
McLaren has presented an extremely well-researched and clear overview of the gravest issues in the world today, and what followers of Christ should be doing about them. THis book is eye-opening and hopeful, frightening and empowering. It has changed my life, and I bought 5 more copies to share with others.

Broadway, 2003

One of the Most Useful and Best Science Books I Own
This is a fantastic book. If you're interested in science and history, this is the book for you. Bryson brings up interesting trivia about key people and events in science history. He shares the story of Thomas Midgley. His two great claims to fame were putting lead into gasoline and the development of chlorofluorocarbons. Bryson shares the observation that seldom has one person ... 		  
  







  
  
Everything Must Go15 reviews
Elizabeth Flock

Mira, 2007

Wonderful, thoughtful character study. Compelling.
I loved this book. One unintentional disaster lays the groundwork for a lifetime of guilt, longing and passivity. As the years go by, Henry's internal life becomes a greater and greater part of his world. You see himself mirrored in the reactions of others around him; uncomfortable with the fall of the golden football idol to fussy clothes-salesman grasping at the memories of his former ... 		  
  







  
  
Asking: A 59-Minute Guide to Everything Board Members, Volunteers, and Staff Must Know to Secure the Gift10 reviews
Jerold Panas

Emerson & Church, 2002

Powerful
In a world were information is vital but time is tight, Asking by Jerold Panas gets straight to the point. As a new development director the infomation in this book will help me be successful. You can read the book in one sitting, but will return time and time again just to reinforce what you learned or to share it with other volunteers or staff. Thanks for taking the fear out of the heart of ... 		  
  







  
  
Flannery O'Connor : Collected Works : Wise Blood / A Good Man Is Hard to Find / The Violent Bear It Away / ...13 reviews
Flannery O'Connor

Library of America, 1988

Just Read It All
The complaints about the poor organization of the collection can be overcome by simply reading it from front to back. Surely it is that good. My foray into the works of Flannery O'Connor, a southern, gothic author of darkly humorous novels and short stories came via a recommendation in Harold Bloom's, "What to Read and Why." As it turned ot, I had read one of her short stories, "A Good Man ...

It Must've Been Something I Ate: The Return of the Man Who Ate Everything23 reviews
Jeffrey Steingarten

Knopf, 2002

Highly entertaining
This book was a gift that I was not excited about receiving, but I picked it up one evening when I was desperate for something to read. At that point I was unfamiliar with this Steingarten fellow and did not expect much, as I do not find it terribly enjoyable to read about food. As it turns out, the book was a good read that kept me entertained and wanting more. I thought a few of the chapters ...

The Everything Motorcycle Book: The One Book You Must Have to Buy, Ride, and Maintain Your Motorcycle ...6 reviews
A. J. Drew

Adams Media Corporation, 2002

Good Introduction
This book is a good introduction and overview. I would have liked it a bit more if American Motorcycles were higher on the totem, but with the cost of American Iron I can see why equal time was given to imports. If you are just starting to ride, this is the book for you. If you are an old timer, you are probably looking for something a bit more advanced and focused.

Colum McCann, one of the finest young writers in Ireland & Amreica continues to grace us with this corageous book. Not just corageous for the obvious subject, the Troubles in Northern Ireland, but its deeper one -- the connections between the life around us (political and otherwise) and the life inside us.

How To Retire Happy: Everything You Need to Know About the 12 Most Important Decisions You Must Make Before ...11 reviews
Stan Hinden

McGraw-Hill, 2000

Out of retirement......
Stan Hinden writes a column for the Washington Post and I've read his column since day one. I cannot say this is the best book ever written on the subject because I've only read three books, but I can say I've learned a great deal about retirement from Mr. Hinden and what I've learned was not taught in the midcareer retirement seminar I attended. Unlike some who write on the subject, Mr. Hinden ... 		  
  







  
  
The Everything Leadership Book: The 20 Core Concepts Every Leader Must Know (Everything Series)1 review
Bob Adams

Adams Media Corporation, 2001

weLEAD Book Review by the Editor of leadingtoday.org
To the serious leadership professional, the first reaction to this book may be skeptical and negative. This book is part of the Everything® Series book collection. This collection is obviously a direct competitor to the innocuous yellow-covered "For Dummies Series". To put it mildly, most would not consider any of these paperback books a serious reference in the educational world. However, The ... 		  
  







  
  
The Complete Cancer Survival Guide: Everything You Must Know and Where to go For State-Of-The-Art Treatment ...3 reviews
Peter Teeley, Philip Bashe

Main Street Books, 2000

An excellent and comprehensive "first choice" guide.
I am a cancer patient and this is the book I have been looking for. Encyclopedic yet concise and to the point, Teeley's treatment of strategies, treatment options and the biology of cancer sets a high standard. Useful summary boxes are distributed throughout each chapter, allowing the reader to get a quick overview of such topics as "Medical Terms You're Likely to Hear" / "Surgical ... 		  
  







  
  
Three by Flannery O'Connor: Wise Blood, The Violent Bear It Away, Everything That Rises Must Converge6 reviews
Flannery O'Connor

Signet Classics, 1986

perhaps our most underrated author
Wise Blood (1952)(Flannery O'Connor 1925-68) All human nature vigorously resists grace because grace changes us and the change is painful. -Flannery O'Connor Wise Blood is Flannery O'Connor's grotesque picaresque tale of Hazel Motes of Eastrod, Tennessee; a young man who has come to the city of Taulkinham bringing with him an enormous resentment of Christianity and the clergy. ... 		  
  







  
  
The Everything Family Guide To Hawaii Book: Lodging, Restaurants, Beaches, and Must-See Attractions for All ...3 reviews
Donald P. Ryan

Adams Media, 2004

Concise, informative and nicely written.
I've got several Hawaii guide books and this one goes straight to the point. I want to know where to stay, eat, play golf and hang-out at the beach, not have my hand held, and this book is a useful directory. Some of those other books are full of minute details and maybe you could carry one along as a supplement if you need some sort of detailed description of a cute hotel lobby or a glowing ...
