The Loss That Is Forever: The Lifelong Impact of the Early Death of a Mother or Father

19 reviews
Maxine Harris

Plume, 1996

Gives you hope at a dark time
My 45 year old husband died suddenly of a heart attack. He was a very thin, active person who never smoked and had NO family history of heart disease. Besides dealing with my loss I was distraught at this staggering blow to our three children, 18, 15, and 10. This book gave me hope that our children could go on to live whole and happy lives in spite of this loss. Eight years later, our ...

The Way of the Heart: The Spirituality of the Desert Fathers and Mothers

Henri J. M. Nouwen

HarperOne, 1991

Excellent read, great book
Short, simple, easy to read in the typical Nouwen fashion, and yet when you are finished, you can not help but feel refreshed, energized, and re-awakened to that "tiny whispering sound" referred to in 1 Kings 19:12. This is an excellent book about the heart of prayer: standing silent in the presence of God. There is a lot of noise out there, and this book shows how to leave the noise outside, how ...

Aladdin, 2005

Not Just for Mother's Day
Henry's dad helps him cut up the pineapple into a "pineapple sofa" and then make "people" out of fruit to sit on it, all as a surprise for mom on Mother's Day. In the tradition of PLAY WITH YOUR FOOD and APPLE PIGS, kids would love making their own apple people, peach people, plum people and fruity dogs after reading this story. Even Mudge will enjoy helping kids who want to start "cooking up ...

Mankind's Greatest Quotes: Mankind's Wisdom from Aristotle to Zimmerman

11 reviews

Richer Resources Publications, 2006

Great Men, Great Thoughts, Perfect Title
I love this book. It may not have 2000 quotes in it, but I have to agree that these are some of mankind's greatest quotes. I received it as a gift and I find it easy to use and lovely to look at. It has over 100 of mankind's most profound insights in one place which makes them easy to refer to. The book was designed so that there are 7 or 8 quotes on a page with a beautiful color photograph next ...

L,B Kids, 2008

an annual favorite with our kids
Our kids (ages 5 and 8) are in love with this item. This is our 3rd or 4th year of buying the calendars. I pre-order them, and the kids anticipate the calendars' August arrival date the way they would anticipate Christmas or their birthdays. They spend a lot of time discussing what they will draw for each month, and they enjoy the coloring parts and putting on the special occasion stickers. ...

Little Bear Audio CD Collection
Little Bear is a favorite TV show for some of my grandchildren. This CD lets them enjoy the stories when they are in the car, or just to listen to the CD at bedtime. The reader has a wonderful voice and it is very soothing and relaxing to fall asleep while listening. I recommend this CD for children from ages 3 to 10.

While You Are Away

Eileen Spinelli

Hyperion Book CH, 2008

Good for all branches
I just read this book to my daughter, and we loved it. It gives the perspective of three children whose parents are a sailor, an airwoman, and a soldier. It was touching, with the children missing their parents who are far, far away. It's not the best of Spinelli's work, but my daughter was able to see that other military children miss their parents while they are separated, as well. I definitely ...

HarperTrophy, 1992

Wonderful stories all children should read
This is a set of books that is perfect for children to read. Innocent, heart warming, and charming, Little Bear is a series that your young child will love to read again and again. Also, if your child loves the Little Bear series as much as mine do, there are dvds of episodes from the tv show based on these books that they would love as well.

Thomas Nelson, 2008

Great Way To Show You Love A Child
I LOVE YOU MORE THAN RAINBOWS is a great way to remind any child how much you love them. The colorful illustrations help the children soak in every word being read. Every page is a great expression of the love I feel for all three of my kids. This is a great book for any child to receive. Even the older kids enjoy it. They like reading it to younger kids (and it gives them an excuse to look ...

A Must Read for Expectant Fathers
This book was incredibly helpful during our first pregnancy. In fact, I bought if for all my guy friends who were having children as well and everybody loved it! There really is no other resource that presents this information in a way that not clinical and boring, yet still effective. It's an entertaining, informative, and unique perspective on subject that is relevant to almost everbody but ...

The Raising of a President: The Mothers and Fathers of Our Nation's Leaders

49 reviews
Doug Wead

Atria, 2006

Held my interest....WOW!
As an extremely amatuer historian with ADD and with a fascination for Abraham Lincoln, I really liked this. The research that I have done on my own, albeit not extensive, on Lincoln seems to jive with the author's conclusion. I have no reason to doubt the truthfulness of his writings on the other presidents. Books rarely hold my interest, and this one did.

Karen Kingsbury

Warner Faith, 2003

Great book
Okay I am not plugging another book, but if you read "Tuesdays at Morrie's" you will love this book. It is for anyone that lost hope in God, Love, or just life in genreal. Faith is what it all boils down to. I picked it up and read it in a day. I had no idea what it was about but after the first page I could not put it down. As you read you feel for the character and their pain/joy. I especially ...

Paula Danziger

Scholastic Paperbacks, 2004

Fun Read!
My granddaughter and I read this book together. I had never read any of the Amber Brown series books and it was a lot of fun to me. Amber Brown is definitely a young girl who has some strong opinions and isn't afraid to express them. In this book Amber's parents have divorced and Amber's mom is going to remarry. Along with all this,Amber's dad is starting to date, and her life is changing in ...

I'm not sure if the other two reviewers (so far) ...
read the same book I did. I thought Bill Patten did a wonderful job in bringing his interesting family to life by concentrating on his three "fathers". His "real" father, Duff Cooper, his "assumed" father, Bill Patten, and his "step" father, Joe Alsop. All three men were members of the WASP aristocracy, either in the US or in England, and all played important roles in both the US government or ...

Pain and Healing
We have lost 3 babies in our family. Our dreams of great futures were gone with them. We were desperate to find comfort. This book is healing and helpful to ease the pain. I am grateful that I discovered this book. I also recommend Write From Your Heart, A Healing Grief Journal. It really is necessary to "work" through grief. May you all find peace and comfort.

What Mommies Do Best What Daddies Do Best

Laura Numeroff

Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing, 1998

Double Love and Challenging Parental Stereotypes!
This volume is two books in one, but with different illustrations built around identical texts (except one version talks about "mommies" while the other one talks about "daddies"). One cover has the mommies while the other cover has the daddies. The two texts and covers are printed upside down from one another. I've never seen a book quite like it. Just when you think that it's merely cute, ...
