Out to Canaan: The Mitford Years, Book 4

98 reviews
Jan Karon

More Mitford mirth and miracles
Jan Karon's charming North Carolina small town belongs with the great places of fiction: Macondo, Faulkner's unspellable county, the Louisiana of James Lee Burke, Egypt, Maine, and Hillerman's New West. The sense of place is such a hallmark of this series. And she populates it with such knowable and knowing characters who linger long after the last page of each new book unwillingly, but ...

Elder Rage or, Take My Father... Please! How To Survive Caring For Aging Parents

Jacqueline Marcell

Impressive Pr, 2000

Thank you for a WONDERFUL book. Both entertaining AND full of valuable information.
I wish to extend a huge thank you to Jacqueline for writing this book! My mother-in-law had been diagnosed with dementia and had progressed to point where we felt it was no longer safe to allow her to continue to live alone. Our problem was that she was fighting us "tooth and nail" at every turn. She did not realize the scope of her problem. She felt she merely could not remember things once ...

The saddest book I have ever read.
I've never read a book so gripping or heart wrenching. My condolences to you and your family Mr. Walsh; my heart breaks for you.

Ron Paul

Foundation for Rational Economics and Educati, 2007

Foreign Policy Alternative based on History, Logic, and Reason
In A Foreign Policy of Freedom, Ron Paul presents his thoughts on foreign policy in a very logical manner substantiated by both reason and history. Paul provides a collection of his statements to congress over the last thirty years that will be eye opening as many of Paul's cautions that went unheard later came into fruition near exactly how he predicted. Whether one agrees with his views ...

Speechless
Oh I am speechless. This is a book full of grace, character, This is the writers real life boyhood and apparently thought he could make a good book out of it. Boy was he right!

This man had such a life as a kid! man you would think it was fictional but when you know its not it makes you well... Speechless!

Be Prepared: A Practical Handbook for New Dads

Gary Greenberg, Jeannie Hayden

Simon & Schuster, 2004

Believe every five star review about this book!
After reading the reviews about this book, I ordered this book from Amazon.com. I received it and riped into the box to get it out. Actually, my wife stole it from me, but I got it back. I am about to be a new dad and I loved this book. It was funny, gave real life tips and made me want to read it from cover to cover. The book shows a dad with a tool belt filled with everything he will need for ...

Thomas a Kempis

Thomas Nelson, 1999

Miracle
This is not a review of the book per se (just got it, have not read it yet), but thought I needed to share this. Book arrived with another book (a textbook) in the usual Amazon box, each laying side by side. It was left out in the rain for most of the day by the local carrier until I brought it inside. The entire box was soaked and ruined, tape fallen off and box literally gaping open, all of ...

It Whispers

Joanne T. Lewis

Amazon, 2007

Polished, Refined, Riveting Writing!
Having read a significant number of the ABNA entries, enough to sample the generally high quality of writing from young authors brave enough to place an excerpt before the reading public for comment, this reader is more than a little impressed with Joanne T. Lewis' IT WHISPERS. She has a mature writing style (surely she has some experience in the field before this excerpt!), the ability capture ...

When a Crocodile Eats the Sun: A Memoir of Africa

Peter Godwin

Little, Brown and Company, 2007

When a Crocodile Eats the Sun
Peter Godwin's book, titled above, is a very worth while read. In plain dialogue he lets the rest of the world know what is really going on in Zimbabwe in the most sensitive way possible through his own families lives. The book is beautifully written, I couldn't put it down once I started reading it, more especially after following the last fiasco of an election in June 2008. Why the other ...

This is a wonderful three-in-one storybook. We are reading it as a family and it is so clever and beautifully written. I would highly recommend; you will not be disappointed.

Father's Touch

53 reviews
Donald D'Haene

Amer Book Pub, 2002

Brilliant memoir - why aren't books like this on Oprah?
Too bad James Fry lied to Oprah. Memoirs are important and she is moving away from promoting them. Father's Touch is both a well-told story and educational at the same time. A must read for those interested in understanding the mind of a pedophile, as the author quotes from his molester/father's writings. This book shows the manipulative skill of molesters as well as the resilience of survivors ...

Taken into Custody: The War Against Fatherhood, Marriage, and the Family

Stephen Baskerville

Cumberland House Publishing, 2007

The BEST Book Yet on the Full, BIG Picture
Awesome and factually backed up. Have you ever read a book that you just can't put down? Well, this book is beyond that. Everyone I talk to that has read it or is reading it just has to put it down, very often, due to the shocking thought provoking nature of presenting the truth in the most believable way. Great job, Dr. Baskerville! Dr. Baskerville sees that the real root of the war on ...

Kenneth Oppel

Turtleback Books Distributed by Demco Media, 2002

One of the BEST books I've ever read
Sunwing was one of the BEST books I've EVER read! It has lots of fiction in it but, it also has a large amount of true facts in it also. I truly reomend this book. And it has a bunch of action and adventure in it. And I think people who like animals such as, bats, mice, owls etc. will LOVE this book completley. Jacob Milette

Owl Moon

53 reviews
Jane Yolen

Philomel, 1987

Worthy of an Award - a review of "Owl Moon"
I like Jane Yolen's work - the children do too (lol). But Owl Moon is probably the most poetic of her works that we have read. The word choice and imagery is wonderful; soft and soothing. You can hear the crunch of snow, and feel the biting cold. Like the others I give it 5 stars, and would add that it makes for a good bed-time book. Five Stars. Top notch Read-aloud. Artwork is nice, ...

Adult Children of Parental Alienation Syndrome: Breaking the Ties that Bind (Norton Professional Book)

43 reviews
Amy J. L. Baker

W. W. Norton, 2007

Excellent book/Study
As a targeted parent whose daughter has not spoken with him for the last 5 years, Amy Baker's book, "Adult Children of Parental Alienation Syndrome: Breaking the Ties that Bind" has been the most informational and encouraging book I've read on the P.A.S. topic so far. The reason is simple: This book is comprised of interviews of the KIDS (now adults) who were poisoned, not the parents who were ...

A Father Who Keeps His Promises: God's Covenant Love in Scripture

Scott Hahn

Saint Anthony Messenger Press, 1998

Highly recommend!
Ordered this book to conduct a Bible Study class along with the VCR tape and online classes. I will be reading ALL his books and recommending that our study group conduct classes on each of them. This book is for anyone serious about really understanding the Old Testament and God's plan for us.

Roland Smith, Mike Wimmer

Hyperion (Juv), 1995

One of my favorites
I met the author, Roland Smith, when he visited my elementary school years ago, and he made such an impact on me that I have never forgotten him or this book. I have re-read it at least half a dozen times, and the imagery and fantastic plot and message make this one of my all-time favorite books from my childhood. The great thing is that he really knows his stuff- he's worked with animals for ...

The Resurrectionists: A Novel

Michael Collins

Scribner, 2002

"I got vision and the rest of the world wears bifocals."
Frank Cassidy lives on the fringes of society in a succession of demeaning jobs, a wife with an ex-husband on death row in Georgia, an angst-riddled stepson waiting for his father to be executed and an innocent pre-schooler, obsessed with his toy dinosaurs. Frank's edge-of-desperation lifestyle can be traced back to his childhood, his father and mother killed in a fire that erupted on the family ...
