It's how I want to raise my teens
Finally, a book that reflects the way I want to raise my soon-to-be teens, but I didn't know it! I'd read several books, all of which didn't touch a nerve until this one. It also helped me to realize it's time to connect up with other non-judgmental guerilla moms. I don't want to put my teens in a bubble, and then be in denial whenever the bubble bursts behind my back. Instead, I want to ...

"What you fear, if you turn toward it, will give your writing teeth"
This morning at 4:30 I turned on the light to read a few more pages of Old Friend From Far Away. I skipped toward the end and read about how at a celebration for the twentieth anniversary of Natalie's first book, a woman who took her writing class when she was a young student at an alternative school, stood up to speak. The woman told her story of how one Monday Natalie brought in a bushel of ...

RED, WHITE AND DRUNK ALL OVER: A WINE-SOAKED JOURNEY FROM GRAPE TO GLASS

NATALIE MACLEAN

BLOOMSBURY PUBLISHING PLC, 2007

"Adventures in Wine Tasting" Review of "Red, White and Drunk All Over."
The experience one derives from wine is not like any other beverage; it is an adventure of exploring the land and the people from which it comes. It is an expression of the Providential weather, climate and soil as well as the blood sweat and tears of those who pour out their lives into the craft of wine making. There are many books on wine that provide historical facts about production, ...

Natalie H. Rogers

Capital Books, 1999

This book is amazing!
I've tried it all. Self-help books, Hypnosis, Yoga, breathing exercises, voice lessons, public speaking workshops, Toastmasters... nothing ever worked, and I never understood why. Finally, I took Natalie Rogers' weekend workshop on Public Speaking, and at last I understood. Public Speaking isn't like other phobias out there, like a Fear of Flying or a Fear of Heights. Conquering Public ...

Natalie Savona

Duncan Baird Publishers, 2003

Yummy!
I love this book! I'm new to juicing and some things I didn't think I could handle drinking, but the author did a good job making everything sound so yummy! I really love how she organized the fruits. It's nice to go into my kitchen and see that I have a pineapple I need to use and then have several recipes to go with it. My husband is most likely thinking it's going to end up on the shelf ...

Natalie Goldberg

Bantam, 1997

playful and brilliant
Natalie's paintings are dazzling...she seems to have caught the emotional color of her subjects, the inner dance of things...it's essential magic. In the chapter titled "How I Paint", she says: " I noticed that the blue of my paints wasn't blue enough to get the intensity of that New Mexico sky. I painted the sky red instead. I painted Jazz yellow. He was a brown dog, but yellow expressed him ...

This Story Will Capture Your Heart
I just finished reading A More Obedient Wife. The only part I didn't like is that it ended. This is a real sleeper that I recommend to anyone regardless of age, gender, or reading preference. Take me, for example: I started the book with no expectation of finishing it, much less enjoying it. It just so happened that I ran across it while I was temporarily out of reading material. I skimmed ...

Ink & Paper Group, 2008

Excellent!
I read this book start to finish in one sitting. Sarah Neufeld created a fascinating setting, convincingly real characters (quite a feat, considering that two of them have the ability to turn invisible at will), and a plot that will keep you guessing until the last satisfying page. A few twists are so unexpected that you will have to read it again. Oh, darn.

This is a fabulous book to be shared with generations!
This was one of my favorite books as a child. It left such an impact, that I checked it out from the library dozens of times. I remembered it as simply "Sarah's Story," and initially had difficulty finding it in our local library. This is among our favorite family books, one that I look forward to sharing with future generations. The illustrations are beautiful, and the story is told ...

My First Catholic Bible for Catholic Childred
These Bibles were purchased by our Altar Society as a gift for the first and second graders receiving First Reconciliation and First Communion this year. As a Religious Education teacher, I wanted a Bible the children could easily turn to to find the day's Gospel message, so we could discuss it before Mass. I found the Bibles to be easy to read (but not simplistic) and phrased is a way the ...

I've had this book for 22 years! It's the BEST!!!!
I bought this book at a school book fair when I was 7 years old. When I was little my mom and I used to make recipes from this book all the time. Now that my daughter is almost 7, we have started to bake together, using recipes from this book, as well. The binding fell apart many years ago, leavingme with a stack of papers, but the cookies are still amazing! The recipes are clear, simple and ...
