Reflections of Courage on D-Day & the Days that Followed 9 reviews
Margo Heinen, Ace Parker
DeForest Press, 1999
A very important memoir of WW2
This may not be the book for you if you are only starting to read about WW2, but once you have a basic undersatnding of the invasion of Normandy, it is a very historical important document. Ace Parker played a major role in the relief of the main Ranger Force on D-day. These actions are not well documented elsewhere, and I really wish I had known of this book while writing "Spearheading ...

The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership Tested by Time: Those Who Followed Them . . . and Those Who Didn't!4 reviews
James L. Garlow
Thomas Nelson, 2002
EXCELLENT MARRIAGE OF HISTORY & CHRISTIAN LEADERSHIP LESSONS
I am a leadership trainer and give over 200 programs per year. My leadership library is extensive and varied. Most of the new leadership books are just "love song" books - they are saying the same thing in a different way. In this book, the messages are the same, but the writing methodology is fresh and different. James has accomplished an intriguing and "page turner" leadership lessons book ...

The Boy Who Was Followed Home2 reviews
Margaret Mahy
Dial, 1986
Delightful Book
This is a wonderful book for reading aloud. It's short and sweet and very clever. My almost three-year-old loves it, as do his older friends. Five year olds think it's really funny, and like to talk about the pictures. The illustrations are half the fun; I notice something new each time.
One of our favorites!

Bird Girl and the Man Who Followed the Sun9 reviews
Velma Wallis
Women's Press Ltd,The, 1997
Two Athabaskan legends become one great story
Velma Wallis, an Athabaskan Indian woman from Alaska, was set on codifying some of the legends that her mother had told her about their people. Her first endeavor, Two Old Women, became a bestseller. Her second project was the mingling of two legends she had heard throughout her childhood. Each of the stories were similar because they focused on "loners" or people who do not fit into the norm ...

Conjugal Love: Delights of Wisdom Relating to Conjugal Love Followed by Pleasures of Insanity Relating to ...2 reviews
Emanuel Swedenborg
General Church of New Jerusalem, 1995
Insight that changed my life
This is a hard book to start into because the premises the author asks you to accept are so enormous. But if you are willing to give it a shot it is well worth the time. Swedenborg details a view of marriage that recognizes differences between men and women -- similar in many ways to John Gray's "Men are from Mars; Women are from Venus" -- without any sense of one being superior to the other. But ...

The Devil in Love: Followed by Jacques Cazotte : His Life, Trial, Prophecies, and Revelations3 reviews
Jacques Cazotte, Gerard De Nerval, ...
Marsilio Publishers, 1994
nothing but fun
this is a master work that is very important if we are to understand ourselves as well as the world in which we live. A fascinating read for the newcomer to such fiction, as well as the seasoned pro. A book to be enjoyed as much as it is to be studyed. Poetic, sad, and often very illuminating, "the devil in love" belongs to that league of literature that works on every level. Not to be ...

Esoteric Cohobations for Empowerment followed by Short Stories of Mother Mary with New Thought Highlights2 reviews
Irlene Augustin Whiteman
TurnKey Press, 2007
Delightful
The book is delightful -- suitable for novice or seasoned spiritual aspirant alike. The Mother Mary stories were inspirational. The short sentences in the first section of the book made for easy reading and provided a soothing rhythm. Many of these passages seemed to speak to my inner being and called for me to come up higher.

The Magdalene Gospel: Meeting the Women Who Followed Jesus2 reviews
Mary Ellen Ashcroft
Augsburg Fortress Publishers, 2002
Compelling
Sometimes the truth smacks us hard between the eyes. It hurts, but we are better for the encounter. That's the way it is with Dr. Ashcroft's work. Drawing extensively upon Biblical, archeological and sociological resources, Professor Ashcroft draws a vivid picture for us of the women who followed Jesus. Her end-notes are generous and irrefutable. Dr. Ashcroft helps us to understand how Jesus' ...

The Dinosaur That Followed Me Home1 review
Bruce Coville
Demco Media, 1990
Great mix of humor and suspense
Bruce Coville knows how to write a funny story without letting it devolve into a series of one-liner jokes or letting the reader lose track of the plot. And the plot is good. In fact, the one time I thought I knew what was gonna happen next, it didn't happen. I also like the way he writes about technology ... he uses vague terms and seems to avoid things that he knew might go obsolete in the ...

I'm a Big Fan!: Irreverent Fan Letters and the Celebrity Responses That Followed2 reviews
James E. Spamm
1st Books Library, 2003
Original and inspired idea -- consistently hilarious!!!
In this highly entertaining book, Mr. Spamm sends fan letters to a variety of celebrities and eagerly awaits their responses. Many times, Mr. Spamm's letters themselves are the highlight; often, the response is priceless. For example, Jimmy Carter sends a picture of himself with his late brother that was oddly touching. It's also surprising how many has-been celebrities still respond as though ...

In 1946 the British had once more triumphed against the Germans and the Japanese.

Followed by Heavy Rain: Over-Forties Travel, Romance and Adventure1 review
Christine Hardy, Cecil Hardy
Prairie Oak Pr, 2000
Travelling around the world
Followed by heavy rain I was amused the way Chris and Cec decided to write this book. They probably said, "well we experienced everything together so let's write together but from our own point of view". So, this they did, each taking turns in describing events along the way and what a long way they went. I found myself experiencing what they were feeling. Chris in her own zany way, self ...

Emanuel Swedenborg
The Swedenborg Society, 1996
Marriage to Eternity
The teachings of Emanuel Swedenborg on Conjugial Love (married love)are amazing to me. His ground breaking perspectives on marriage as an eternal bond (rather than "to death do us part" experience) has absolutely enhanced my own marriage in every way possible. This text explores themes of married love, but also the ten commandments, living a good life, what Heaven is like and more. Ready for ...

A wonderful book!
This book is amazing. I taught 2 year olds for years and this was always a favorite. The pictures are simple and bright. It is a great teaching resource. I like to use it as a theme related book during PET week. It flows really well when read outloud. The kids call it the octopus book. If you are looking for a wonderful book to read outloud to your pre-schooler this one is it!
