Gift from the Sea106 reviews
Anne Morrow Lindbergh

Vintage, 1978

A Joy Forever
What more can be said about this lovely collection of thoughts? Even as it celebrates its 50th anniversary, it is as fresh as the day it was penned. This book is a keeper if ever there was one, a volume to be read and re-read and handed down to one's children, which is what I intend to do with the most recent Gift from the Sea that I bought. 		  
  







  
  
Otherwise Known as Sheila the Great37 reviews
Judy Blume

Puffin, 2003

The librarian recommended...and it worked!
My daughter is supposed to be reading chapter books but she can't get into them so doesn't finish them. On our last library visit, I asked for help from the librarian. She said, "She just hasn't found the right book yet." This was one of the 'books' she suggested because it was audio. "Judy Blume is great and this should help spark her interest." So we got it. Well, not only did it spark her ... 		  
  







  
  
The Pursuit of Holiness (A Navigator Book)35 reviews
Jerry Bridges

Navpress Publishing Group, 1978

Walking in Holiness
Should we "let go and let God", trusting Him to bring us victory in the battle for holiness? Jerry Bridges would answer this question with a firm "no." Instead, he would lead us to "grab hold and let God." In other words, Bridges charges us to take hold of the resources Christ offers us to kill sin's power and cultivate the fruit of the Spirit. In Bridges' view, holiness is not a matter of ...

Ashamed of the Gospel: When the Church Becomes Like the World46 reviews
John F. MacArthur

Good News Pub, 1999

MacArthur: Today's Charles Spurgeon
The brilliance of John MacArthur's book, "Ashamed of the Gospel" is that it was written long before Rick Warren and Bill Hybels were household names. MacArthur, like Spurgeon a century ago, is one of our generation's leading apologist for defending the faith and the intregrity of biblical doctrines. The evangelical church that I knew (until about 1995) was a place where the gospel was upheld ...

The New Farm Vegetarian Cookbook37 reviews
Louise Hagler, Dorothy R. Bates

Book Publishing Company (TN), 1988

Super great for a total vegetarian
I just wanted some good vegetarian dish ideas. This book impressed the heck out of me when it showed you how to make your own tofu, soy milk and other vegetarian stuff. Though I am not a vegetarian, I am amazed with the details on how to make some of the stuff. Oh yeah, and the recipes seem to be easy enough to follow! :)

The Blue Day Book119 reviews
Bradley Trevor Greive

Andrews McMeel Publishing, 2000

Fabulous photos
If you've got photographer friends, this book will be an inspiration for them. But the black and white photos also provide a great pick-me-up for anyone you know who's down in the dumps. The volume describes myriad ways in which we all may feel under the weather sometimes--all of them illustrated with fetching postures and facial expressions of a large group from the animal kingdom--polar ... 		  
  







  
  
New and Selected Poems, Volume Two26 reviews
Mary Oliver

Beacon Press, 2007

Mary Oliver is magical
I have about 5 of her poetry books. I feel that her poetry has gotten more and more beautiful over time, and believe that this collection is better than Volume 1. Mary Oliver is definitely my favorite poet - much of her writing is about a thirst for growth and spirituality, and finding peace in nature and love (friendships and relationships). I have given this book to a number of friends, who ... 		  
  







  
  
The Last Good Season: Brooklyn, the Dodgers, and Their Final Pennant Race Together26 reviews
Michael Shapiro

Doubleday, 2003

" 'He Wanted Desperately To Stay' ? Apparently not! " Rated ***(**)
THE LAST GOOD SEASON, by Michael Shapiro, earns itself a provisional rating of FIVE STARS in my mind, based primarily on the quality of the writing (which is uniformly excellent) and the depth of the research (which, within limits, is exhaustive). Yet the book deserves, like Roger Maris' "61*", to be only a qualified ***(**) success. Much of that qualification comes from Shapiro's heavily ... 		  
  







  
  
Polar the Titanic Bear20 reviews
Daisy Corning Stone Spedden

Little Brown and Company, 1998

A book with so much to offer!
This book has much to offer, for young readers and for adults. It is a wonderful glimpse into history, told from the perspective of a Steiff polar bear, who is very much a part of the life of young Douglas Spedden. His family's travels and his young life unfold in a beautiful text that is illustrated with sensitive illustrations and historical photographs. The Speddens traveled on the ... 		  
  







  
  
No Wonder They Call Him Savior: Chronicles of the Cross23 reviews
Max Lucado

Multnomah Books, 1986

Jesus made real and personal
Max Lucado has done a marvelous thing by blessing humanity with his portrayal of the Cross of Jesus Christ. In his own unique style of writing, the author takes you on a vivid journey of discovery as you see the Cross, and the characters who "surround" it, from a new light. Max Lucado has such a powerful ability to express himself in words. Tears filled my eyes as I was touched, transformed, and ... 		  
  







  
  
STOP THE PRESSES: The Crisis and Litigation PR Desk Reference31 reviews
Esq. Richard S. Levick, Larry Smith

Watershed Press, 2007

Advanced Strategies for Crisis Communication
Don't buy this book for your PR department. Buy it for your attorneys. Levick bridges the gap between the need for an organization to speak publicly during a crisis and its legal department's desire to keep the corporate yap locked tight. An attorney himself, Levick understands perception trumps fact, and that at crisis time the real battle won't happen in a court of law; it's already ...

Josh Baran

ThorsonsElement, 2005

Gentle reminders when faced with uncertainty
My husband bought this for me for Christmas. We're faced with giving birth in February to a child who will require several open heart surgeries. I've been struggling with the anticipation and fear - mostly of the unknown. It's made the days hard to get through. I've picked up this book no less than 10 times in the few hours since he's given it to me, and each page contains a small wisdom ... 		  
  







  
  
Eclipse20 reviews
Cate Tiernan

Topeka Bindery, 2003

Recommended to Parents who canýt get their daughters to read
I purchased the Sweep series for my 13 year old daughter in the hopes that maybe she would read. "She hated to read." Well I was amazed, and could not get her to go to sleep, as she would spend the whole night, with a night-light on reading these books. She enjoyed them so much, and could not stop talking first about Cal and then Hunter, that I had to see what all the fuss was about. Well ...

This is a book that painstakingly provides ... 		  
  







  
  
Kiss Good Night28 reviews
Amy Hest

Candlewick, 2001

Has been a staple at our home for the past 2years!
I got this for my daughter when she was a baby and she still loves it, at 2! The story is sweet and comforting, just what young kids love. Little Sam is put to bed by his mom, but he indicates there's something mom is forgetting ['I'm waiting']...and of course, it all ends well, with lots of hugs and kisses ['again!', 'again!']. The illustrations are beautiful with lush colors. A definite keeper!

The inspirational book, The Good Eater, is a candid and absorbing memoir of author Ron Saxen's struggle with BED (binge eating disorder). The author's revealing recollections of his life are often hilarious and sometimes heartbreaking. The Good Eater is well paced and written in an entertaining conversational style.
