Chicken soup for the pet lover's soul : stories about pets as teachers, healers, heroes, and friends90 reviews
Jack Canfield
Warm and fuzzy
Most of the series of 'Chicken Soup for the Soul' has the kind of warm and fuzzy story that many find endearing and sweet. They are not 'deep' most of the time, but do point to things beyond themselves; for my own use, I often find sermon illustrations and stories within the pages of volumes of Chicken Soup -- as chaplain at a retirement centre, many of the stories help people to recall happier ...

Brothers in Battle, Best of Friends58 reviews
William Guarnere, Heffron Edward, ..., 2008
Another piece of "Band of Brothers" puzzle
The biography of Babe and Wild Bill fills in the picture of the heroes shown in the "Band of Brothers".
Having read Malarkey's, Compton's, and Winter's, I find it fascinating how each remembers the popular events differently.
Their life stories just add to the whole picture. They help to fill in the picture from the enlisted man's view.
The more you read about these ordinary men doing ...

If you ever want to get to know a true artist, why not embrace a writer like Dickey. The characters in this book are so relatable that it is almost like your inside the book. There is a play on this book as well same tittle and I strongly suggest you read this book. You can't say your a true book reader without obtaining this novel.

Front Porch Tales: Warm Hearted Stories of Family, Faith, Laughter and Love39 reviews
Philip Gulley
HarperOne, 2007
wonderful stories presented in a wonderful manner
Philip Gulley gets it. He understands so much of what has gone from our lives, where society has fallen off the path. And though he is a Quaker Preacher, he doesn't force feed it down your throat. This book doesn't come off as preaching, but rather as Gulley allowing you a glimpse into his life.
He shows us by examples rather than telling us. His stories of neighbors and family are as ...

Momentum Is Your Friend: The Metal Cowboy and His Pint-Sized Posse Take on America33 reviews

Breakaway Books, 2006
I started bike riding again - Thanks Joe!
I was in the middle of another book (a book by Neil Peart - I'm back to it now) when I picked this up -- 3 days later I put it down!
Although Joe comes off as a bit of a cynic at times, dealing with life on the road would probably do that to you. The book flows well and is very entertaining.
He often starts a story at one point and then neatly ties it into the next section. It does NOT ...

Penguin Audio, 2006
Written with feeling...I'm Proud of You
This book is about a relationship between two friends. I often give this book to friends who have lost a parent. In this world where so few people encourage and lift each other up, are able to have a heart-to-heart talk with a friend, this book is an excellent example of how to do just that! "I'm Proud of You" is one of my favorite books. I would highly recommend it and preferred it so much ...
