Three Cups of Tea: One Man's Mission to Promote Peace . . . One School at a Time1010 reviews
Greg Mortenson, David Oliver Relin
Penguin (Non-Classics), 2007
The most powerful book I have ever read...
Many of us have felt hopeless, scared and frustrated since 9/11. We see anger building, more disaster looming and see little hope through governmental leadership. This incredible story, about a man who against all odds builds a school for a Pakistani village that nursed him through a near-death experience, provides a solution, at least the beginning of a solution, to the spiral of hatred and ...

Kahlil Gibran
Penguin Books, 1999
A pedestal on life
I picked up this book later in life after many family hardships befell me. Rather than looking to religion or self help books an honest and humble friend read versus from this book to me. Having loved poetry and free verse most of my life I was struck with vivid beauty in the simplicity of the words that graced my ears that night. Kahlil Gibran in his day was renowned for his prose and how he ...

A great gift!
I bought this book as a gift for my 16yr old niece. The very next day, she told me how much she loved the book. She even cried reading it. I think it's nice to find reading materials that can move the minds and feelings of teenagers.

I admire him sooo much
Clay Aiken is one of the few celebrities I look up to. He has devoted fans because people see him as a friend or a brother. He is a very kind, humorous, and generous man. I am glad I read this book.

Judith Orloff

Protect yourself from energy vampires!
I received this book as a gift, and I really enjoyed it. Many of us sometimes come into contact with the people Dr. Orloff refers to as energy vampires; those people who leave us feeling tired and drained.
She provides us with 10 prescriptions for boosting our energy and combating energy vampires. My favorite is "find a nurturing spiritual path that fits your own beliefs and inner ...

Heavenly Man is the book of the year.
The Heavenly Man is one of the best books I have read. It really made me think about how weak my faith is and what God really expects out of us. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants a closer walk with God.

If God Was Like Man: A Message from God to All of Humanity149 reviews
Barbara Rose
Rose Group, 2003
'If God Was Like Man' is an AMAZING Book!
I read this book from cover to cover two times in a row and am still amazed at the clarity given by God in the messages for 'all of humanity.'
The only part I felt myself entirely change my view was regarding the death penalty, which I used to advocate. Since reading this book I no longer do, and the reasons are so simply put, I can't imagine anyone not changing their views.
The areas ...

A Voice in the Wind129 reviews
Francine Rivers
Recorded Books, 2004
Brilliant Historical Fiction!
I generally enjoy a guy's read. In other words, I'm not interested unless the story has guns in it. I confess that, without reading any of her work, I wrote Francine Rivers off as Chick Lit.
In my home country, South Africa, she was really the only Christian fiction author available and, as such, I didn't read Christian fiction at all until a friend convinced me to give A Voice In The Wind a ...

Stop Being the String Along: A Relationship Guide to Being THE ONE123 reviews
Barbara Rose
Rose Group, 2005
Truly a smart woman's guide to healthy relating!
I wished I had found Barbara's book years ago. Being single for 10 years and dating, most of what she writes I've already learned through trial and error. I found a lot of validation through her book and answered many questions on why it couldn't or didn't work the way I had hoped. Save yourself from the dramas of dating and read her book. It's a quick read and highlights the key areas of ...
