Glorious Appearing (Left Behind) 286 reviews
Jerry B. Jenkins, Tim LaHaye
Tyndale House Publishers, 2004
An Amazing Thriller, Left Behind Series
This is the next to last book in the Left Behind series of books. They are all really great reads and keep you wanting more. They are fiction, but are Biblically based. It is great fiction regardless.

Ageless, timeless, classic adventure!
I remember this book from the dentist's office as a child and rediscovered it as a teacher. I have used it at the beginning of the year in all grades Kindergarten through fourth grade and they ALL love it. For the little ones they just want to hear it over and over and even memorize what happens next. Also, they love the sharks, tigers, and especially the haystack with the pitchfork. Third ...

Chemistry: The Central Science, Ninth Edition32 reviews
Theodore L. Brown, Jr. H. Eugene LeMay, ...
Prentice Hall, 2002
Excellent Text
I used this book in my General Chem I class a couple of years back and have since used it as a resource for my organic, biochem classes and MCAT review. The book was very easy to read compared to others and the examples were straight forward and easy to follow. The authors also attempted to include scientific/medical relevance to some of the issues covered. The most difficult chapter in the ...

More Joel on Software: Further Thoughts on Diverse and Occasionally Related Matters That Will Prove of ...4 reviews
Joel Spolsky
Apress, 2008
Worth Rereading
Since I've been reading joelonsoftware for the past two years, a lot of this was already familiar to me, but it was well worth rereading. Some of the essays were old enough and I hadn't come by links to them so they were new to me, but not many. Most of the first part Managing People was already published in Joel's Smart and Gets Things Done.
Anyone even considering working on shrink-wrap ...

The Bookmaker: A Memoir of Money, Luck, and Family from the Utopian Outskirts of New York City5 reviews
Michael J. Agovino
Harper, 2008
Excellent
Excellent book. Reads like a novel but Agovino is a reporter so you know it's all true. Fascinating look into the life of an interesting character-filled family. If you didn't come over on the Mayflower you'll recognize a lot of your own family in this book. Loved the parts we can all relate to, like seeing people from home on your vacation! ("What are they doing here?!") Couldn't put it down. ...

Body for Life: 12 Weeks to Mental and Physical Strength940 reviews
Bill Phillips, Michael D'Orso
Collins Living, 1999
This fitness program is the real deal! Great book!
"Body For Life" is the most approachable, motivational, and effective fitness program I have encountered. Several of my male friends were getting in extremely buff while following this program, and their wives were getting into great shape, so I had to toss my skepticism aside and give it a try. Sure enough, even after 6 weeks, people were noticing that I looked "physically fit."
The ...

How One of You Can Bring the Two of You Together 26 reviews
Susan Page
Broadway, 1998
Saved my marriage
I really didn't believe that I could change my relationship, by only working myself. Boy, did Susan Page show me I was wrong. Take note, this book is not for the lazy or the faint of heart. She has "exercises" that you must actually DO, many of which involve writing about yourself and your partner. She requires that you do some hard and sometimes painful analysis of your situation. It's not ...

Is This Your Child26 reviews
Doris Rapp
Harper Paperbacks, 1991
Considered the bible on allergies
I liked this book because it explains that allergies are so much more than sneezing and a runny nose. For children it can be fatigue, inability to concentrate, hyperactivity, really just about anything. She shows amazing examples of how artwork and writing change after a child is exposed to an allergen. She tells incredible stories of how children's behaviors change as they get their allergies ...

Very interesting for every programmer
I bought this book for my husband who mostly sits 24-7 coding and even if he sleeps then he dreams in code.

A Tale Out of Luck: A Novel1 review
Willie Nelson, Mike Blakely
Center Street, 2008
Endearing characters make "A Tale Out of Luck" a good read
Nelson and Blakely deliver an action-packed page-turner with far more substance than the average Western novel. While the mix of intrigue and suspense will keep readers on the trail, the enduring qualities of the characters are what set this novel apart.

The Norton Reader: An Anthology of Nonfiction6 reviews
W. W. Norton & Company, 2003
This is far more than a textbook
The editors of this edition are to be commended. The essays they have collected are a broad cross spectrum of mostly American writings. The subject matter, approach and style of the essays assures that anyone who reads them will find more than a little to capture the imagination and stimulate thinking. Instructors who are used to a follow-the-arrows type of reading/writing text may not enjoy ...

Who doesn't love Winnie The Pooh? Don't answer that. This is an excellent and charming book to use for bedtime stories for children. I grew up with it and I still love it! It endears the simplicity of life and love...and honey.
