Growing Vegetable Soup (Books for Young Readers) 6 reviews
Lois Ehlert
Harcourt Big Books, 1991
Excellent book
As a teacher, I have always loved this book. The bold colors hold children's attention, and it fits well with lessons for younger children on what seeds/plants need to grow, the growing process and includes a recipe for making your own vegetable soup. For early childhood teachers,it can become an early science/social studies/math lesson and also a parent/child activity. A must have!

Great Story!
My favorite quote was, "You don't find God - He's not lost. You are, and He finds you."

Connie Dawson, Jean Illsley Clarke
Hazelden, 1998
The best manual on parenting
I picked up this book before having our first child thinking I would get some insights into how to raise our daughter. What I found was that the book was really for me. Through it, I learned about how I have some of the same needs as children--needs like recognition, feeling valued, loved for who I am, unconditionally.
What's more,it helped me understand better what my needs really are and ...

Kathy Collins
Stenhouse Publishers, 2004
Confirming What We Know & Making It Better
We just finished a Book Study @ school using this book! We all thought her suggestions were great (especially the one about not ONLY using running records & DRA levels to "label" readers) but using individual conferencing also.
Mini Lesson Ideas abound! Specifics are included throughout! A must-have in your personal/professional library for ANY Elementary School Reading Teacher!

Steve Solomon
New Society Publishers, 2006
Things I Never Knew About Gardening!
I am a gardener and I read books and magazines in addition to my hands on efforts. This book has made me think about the way I have been gardening and the complications that I have put on my efforts. This is a much more simple way to do things and I have learned so much about larger spaces, the effort levels of fruits and vegetables, simple tool use and care and water resources.
Excellent ...

Growing Gourmet and Medicinal Mushrooms22 reviews
Paul Stamets
Ten Speed Press, 2000
A total must have for the serious mushroom enthusiast.
This book is definitely not a beginners book, but The Mushroom Cultivator is. This book would be step two in your mycological life goal because it focuses more on the advanced techniques and an industrial approach growing mushrooms. I would recommend this book and every other book by Paul Stamets no questions asked.

A Regular Guy: Growing up with Autism2 reviews
Laura Shumaker
Landscape Press, 2008
Illuminating
I couldn't put down "A Regular Guy." I was very moved, I laughed, I cried, and I was educated. Having a disability or being with someone you love who has one is not easy to understand for those of us who aren't in that situation. I thought Laura's book brought that experience to light with all the joy and pain. While it's apparent that it has been a tremendous struggle for the family, it's ...

Janet Martin, Suzann J. Nelson
Martin House Publications (MN), 1997
If You Didn't . . .
. . . grow up Lutheran and in the Midwest, you may not appreciate the total humor of this book, but it's still a delightfully witty, tongue-in-cheek commentary on a by-gone era. Once started, I couldn't put it down, because it called up a flood of memories, everything from Sunday School pins to Mother-Daughter banquets to cemetary upkeep. It was MY life they were talking about. For those of ...

Seed Savers Exchange, 2002
Very Great Book
This book is a perfect reference for anyone interested in seed saving from vegetables. I purchased this book not knowing a single thing about seed saving and have learned heaps of useful knowledge from it. This is truly THE essential book for seed saving, but the majority of the content in this book is most likely to be used as reference for when the time for implementing the ideas approaches. ...

Growing Strong in God's Family: A Course in Personal Disipleship to Strengthen Your Walk With God (The New ...6 reviews
Navigators
NavPress Publishing Group, 1999
Excellent for Both One on One & Small Group Discipleship
This is ideal material to use for either one on one discipleship (training) or for a small group. The material is simple and clear to understand, but requires committment of all involved. There are verses to memorize (only 5 over a ten week period), and Bible studies to complete. The program helps to establish regular Bible reading and a daily quiet time. This material tackles the biggest issues ...

A Popular Book, And Deservedly So
This has been a popular book, and deservedly so. It is now in its seventh printing. Not only is it about Church planting. As the subtitle suggests, it also has much to offer "those desiring renewal".
The author illustrates the problem in America by quoting Win Arn: "Between 80% and 85% of all churches in America are either plateaued or are declining." What to do? "While some ...

A Great American Biography, Highly Recommended
Note: Some immature Mormon has been slamming my reviews because I wrote some negative reviews of books attempting to defend the Book of Mormon.
So your "helpful" votes are greatly appreciated. A shorter review is not necessarily a bad review if it leads you to a great book. I've just noted the general theme. Thanks
Inside my paperback copy of Russell Baker's book, I wrote "Great Book!"
