Twinkie, Deconstructed: My Journey to Discover How the Ingredients Found in Processed Foods Are Grown, Mined ...28 reviews
Steve Ettlinger

Hudson Street Press, 2007

More subtle and subversive a book than it first seems
Anyone who's ever eaten a Twinkie remembers the experience, even if it's been years. The textured, firm, sweet dough combined with the intense vanilla creme (not cream, mind you) filling is distinctive and, especially when you're a kid, delicious, yet obviously somehow sinful and wrong and unnatural at the same time. Twinkie, Deconstructed is a perfect "sick day in bed" book: a sort of ... 		  
  







  
  
Touch the Top of the World: A Blind Man's Journey to Climb Farther than the Eye Can See: My Story35 reviews
Erik Weihenmayer

Plume, 2002

Touch the Top of the World: A Blind Man's Journey to Climb Farther than the Eye Can See: My Story
Erik spoke at the American Dental Assoc. conference in Denver where my husband got the chance to meet him. He autographed a copy of the book "To Gray, Reach!". I happened upon it while cleaning last week and was immediately intrigued. I used to rock climb but have not been actively involved in the sport for a couple years. Anyway, I have never written to any author before but was so ... 		  
  







  
  
It's Not About the Bike: My Journey Back to Life717 reviews
Lance Armstrong, Sally Jenkins

Berkley Trade, 2001

The title is accurate...
Its not about the bike, in fact there are only two paragraphs in the whole book that talk about the bike. This book is about Lances diagnosis, his struggle to accept his new reality, the aftermath of living as a cancer survivor, and trying to have a baby using frozen sperm. Oh yeah, and also winning the Tour De France. I enjoyed the book because I like the "overcoming really bad odds and ... 		  
  







  
  
Surprised by Christ: My Journey from Judaism to Orthodox Christianity4 reviews
A. James Bernstein

Conciliar Press, 2008

An excellent primer on Orthodox Christianity!
Surprised By Christ: My Journey from Judaism to Orthodox Christianity succeeds on several levels. The first is as an engaging and fascinating conversion story of a first-generation religious Jewish boy (Conservative Jew) in Queens, New York, raised as he puts it, "in the shadow of the Holocaust", whose "road to Damascus" encounter of Christ after reading the New Testament under his covers with ... 		  
  







  
  
Washed by Blood: Lessons from My Time with Korn and My Journey to Christ8 reviews
Brian Welch

HarperOne, 2008

Same book but for a younger audience...
I have not read this specific book, but I listened to an interview with Brian Welch on the radio recently and he said this book is the same autobiography as "Save Me From Myself" but it leaves out some of the more in depth details making it more appropriate for a younger audience than the other version. So do not purchase both books! But if you are looking for a book for your teenager, this ...

Escape from Slavery: The True Story of My Ten Years in Captivity and My Journey to Freedom in America28 reviews
Francis Bok, Edward Tivnan

St. Martin's Griffin, 2004

Choose to read this one!
Two days ago I began to read "Escape from Slavery". I have hardly wanted to set it down since I picked it up. I have been saddened but incredibly inspired. I am forcefully reminded that freedom is a miracle too easily taken for granted. Until this week, I admit I was completely ignorant of Sudan, let alone the plight of it's people. In fact, I only knew Sudan was another big country "somewhere in ...

My Journey to Lhasa: The Classic Story of the Only Western Woman Who Succeeded in Entering the Forbidden City11 reviews
Alexandra David-neel

Harper Perennial, 2005

An unusual journey to say the least
When I was reading the reviews of this book, I was struck by the one of the reviews. It was very negative, and the reviewer missed the beauty of this book entirely. I was glad that I had already read it. I read the reviews because I was curious to see if others had enjoyed the book as much as I did. I was buying it again as a present for a friend. The author was a very unusual person, and ... 		  
  







  
  
Blindfold's Eyes: My Journey From Torture To Truth14 reviews
Dianna Ortiz

Orbis Books, 2004

Honest, Powerful
A spiritual journey through hell to light and grace. A book about torture and its effects, Blindfold Eyes is more than that. It describes an innocent nun's dark night of the soul as she is betrayed and disbelieved by her own government. It can speak to all of us who feel hurt and alone. Here is a link to a radio interview given by Sr. Dianna in 2002: ... 		  
  







  
  
Farewell, My Beijing: The Long Journey from China to Tucson11 reviews
Chi Newman

Wheatmark, 2008

Wonderful world perspective..
This book is a delicious account- of culture, politics, and cuisine of many places in the 50's-70's. The author does not hesitate to have all the fun there is to be had, and brings you along with her. As I followed along with Ms. Newman from continent to continent, through luxury and upheaval, I got a lovely glimpse of true "world citizenship".

Newsflash! My Surprising Journey from Secular Anchor to Media Evangelist2 reviews
Teresa Tomeo

Bezalel Books, 2008

Journalist Shares Her Story to Draw Others Home to Faith
Most people would look at Teresa Tomeo - author, host of an internationally syndicated talk show, and noted speaker - and make the assumption that this rising star never had a day of trouble in her life, that she's one of those lucky ones for whom the stars just seem to align perfectly. Perhaps her willingness to share the true portrait of her life and to smudge the perfect picture a bit is what ... 		  
  







  
  
Cooked: My Journey from the Streets to the Stove43 reviews
Jeff Henderson

Harper Paperbacks, 2008

Fantastic read: amazing story!
What a life this gentleman has led, and what a brilliant effort he's put forth here telling his tale. Well-written, totally gripping, and an inspiration. I hadn't heard his story prior to reading the book, which made it that much better. 		  
  







  
  
Lead, Kindly Light: My Journey To Rome7 reviews
Thomas Howard

Ignatius Press, 2004

A Journey Shared
If I were able to write with anything like the eloquence of Thomas Howard I might very well have written a book very much like this one. Like Howard I was raised in a fundamentalist church. Like Howard I felt that I was missing something very important in that setting and I moved to a liturgical church where I too spent almost twenty-five years. Like Howard I still felt that something was missing ... 		  
  







  
  
Rebuilt: My Journey Back to the Hearing World35 reviews
Michael Chorost

Mariner Books, 2006

Great book for HOH, deaf, DEAF, and even those with perfect ears.
When I started going deaf, people often said "Well worse things can happen". That is certainly true. Deaf is not dead. But there is a connection that maybe only a poet should make, and Michael Chorost was deaf and is a poet, so he can speak with a poetic inner voice that rings true, even though I will never be able to hear anything really ring again. For now, I have not yet gotten a cochlear ...
