The Greatest Miracle in the World 64 reviews
Og Mandino
Frederick Fell Publishers, 2005
Book is great,condition of book NOT "very good" as described.
A new version of this book was not offered only other books by Og Mandino and used ones. I found this to be frustrating and deceptive. The copy I did purchase said the condition was "very good," yet when the book arrived the back of the book was torn at the spine and the cover had greasy old hand prints on it.
Most people, honest people, would not consider those problems to be hallmarks of ...

Tom Brokaw
Random House, 2004
I enjoyed hearing about many folks who would achieve fame in a variety of endeavors.
Heard THE GREATEST GENERATION, written and read by Tom
Brokaw.
It is a collection of some 50 stories about Americans born between
1910 and the mid-1920s who "never shined or whimpered" . .. they
instead got us through World War II and then helped build modern
America.
Brokaw divides these tales over eight topics: Ordinary People; Homefront;
Heroes; Women in Uniform and Out; Shame; ...

The Greatest Show on Earth: The Evidence for Evolution176 reviews
Richard Dawkins
Free Press, 2009
Fascinating read! The title says it best.
This is (surprisingly/embarrassingly) the first Dawkins book I have read, and I was very impressed, both with content as well as the author's broad knowledge and skill as a writer. Dawkins does a wonderful job of presenting the current body of evolutionary knowledge, showing that it truly is, "The greatest show on earth, the only game in town." If every member of society understood the concepts ...

The Five Greatest Warriors: A Novel 9 reviews
Matthew Reilly
Simon & Schuster, 2010
Forget about Indiana Jones, all hail Jack West!
That's right Indiana Jones is a wimp compared to Jack West! Hyperbole? Okay you got me there, yes. Seriously when was the last time you had fun reading a book? Well if you said 7 DEADLY WONDERS or THE 6 SACRED STONES,you would be right. Matthew Reilly is the master of the over the top, gung ho, escapist adventure. All of his books are a non-stop action rush with history throw in. This one ...

Gregory Zuckerman
Broadway Business, 2009
Amazing book
I would make this book required reading for every adult in the US, and in every civics class in all the high schools. I was amazed at what happened during the miltdown of our economy. The book was factual as far as the lay person experienced it. I was one of the people who was given the opportunity to take a sub-prime loan with no money down, and the broker was very miffed I backed out of the ...

The Greatest Science Stories Never Told: 100 tales of invention and discovery to astonish, bewilder, and ... 4 reviews
Rick Beyer
Harper, 2009
Unconventional Wisdom
The English naturalist John Ray said "Nothing was invented and developed at the same time". As a result, for every invention, there are many back stories that fuel Rick Beyer's latest book about science and invention, a welcome addition to his "Greatest Stories Never Told" series. Think the Ferris Wheel refers to the material used to build it? Wrong. Think coin operated vending machines are a ...

Awesome book, loved Steven Scott's understanding of the life of Jesus, and how he has used the same principles of Jesus' personality, in the business world and his personal life. His insights on success in business and relationships is valuable to all. I loved the book, and learned alot from it.

The Greatest Salesman in the World: Part II The End of the Story (Vol 2)19 reviews
Og Mandino
Bantam, 1989
A MUST READ FOR EVERYONE!
Whether you make a living at sales or not this is a must read. It's a motivating book that everyone who is in sales or "in life" should take a moment to sit down and enjoy. Grab Part I first and then read this one. They are both an easy read, and the advice is invaluable. It will change your life. I highly recommend it and all of Og's books!

O. G. Mandino
Frederick Fell Publishers, 2009
The Greatest Secret of "The Greatest Secret In The World"
The small size of "The Greatest Secret In The World" book is inversely proportional to its wonderful or should I say miraculous contents. It is small in size but mighty in content, mightier in its secret and mightiest in what it can achieve for its frequent readers!
The book is a must-read for anyone who wants to conquer his or her bad behaviors and ways of life to achieve a better quality of ...

Life's Greatest Lessons: 20 Things That Matter28 reviews
Hal Urban
Fireside, 2002
Nuggets of Wisdom in Life's Greatest Lessons
Life's Greatest Lessons is a gem. Hal Urban has taken "old-fashioned" and classic truths and woven them into a practical and timely work. I have used this book with my high school classes, as gifts for graduates, family, and friends, and am presently using it as a book study in an adult church group. It is one of those books that makes so much sense, readers wonder why they haven't thought of ...

Great book for parent/child bonding!
My son LOVES this book and I am loving the interaction it has brought us as well. My six year old son looks through the book, picks out the next sport he wants to read about, and then we learn about the characters (we are reading about boxing tonight and basketball after that!). He's so into it, he actually brushes his teeth early so we can have time to read the book together!
Thus far, ...

Marcus Buckingham, Curt Coffman
Simon & Schuster, 1999
Read before hiring.
Before you interview another applicant, read this book. I identified some of the hiring mistakes I have been making. Primarily, I've been hiring for experience and not hiring for talent. FIRST, BREAK ALL THE RULES by Marcus Buckingham and Curt Coffman has helped me to understand what I already knew but was failing to identify and that is, years of experience is worthless if the person doesn't ...

The Greatest Generation (Hardcover)4 reviews
Brokaw Tom
Random House, 1998
Stars in Our Windows
The theme throughout the book is that the generation of Americans that participated in World War II rarely talk about it. My father might have been one of Tom Brokaw's examples. While I was regaled with tales of self-reliance and want during a depression, he almost never spoke about his experience in the African campaign, or the wound that nearly cost him a leg. The author made it a point of ...

Adventures Unlimited Press, 1999
Jaw Dropping!!
This is the first of 4 that I have read by this author, and I must say that this book truly blew my mind. By the time I was done my jaw was hanging on the floor. The facts contained here are irrefutable with a wide variety of sources to back them up. I'd also like to point out that although some of the sources in this book are disputed, this book was written in 1999, and since then she has ...
