Tuesdays with Morrie: An Old Man, a Young Man, and Life's Greatest Lesson 2111 reviews
Mitch Albom
Broadway, 2002
A heartfelt reminder of the important things in life.
After reading so many spectacular reviews, I decided to give this book a whirl myself, and I'm so thankful I did. First of all, I hate to read. Well, let me rephrase that. I USED to hate to read. Doing so much reading in college leaves me with little energy outside of schoolwork to read, but I quickly polished this book off in two sessions.
This book grabs you almost immediately and reels you ...

Dave Pelzer
HCI, 1995
This is a must read!
This was a very touching book. I could not put it down what so ever! I read it on my way to Wisconsin Dells for a vacation back in May. I cried because it is heartfelt and God forbid a child ever go through that!

Baby Bargains, 7th Edition: Secrets to Saving 20% to 50% on baby furniture, gear, clothes, toys, maternity ...674 reviews
Denise Fields
Windsor Peak Press, 2007
Awesome - Essential
I bought this on recommendation from my dentist (a father of two). As a first-time mom I don't know what I would have done without it. I read the entire 600+ pages in a single weekend and completely re-worked my registry. I was able to eliminate a lot of unnecessary items that other lists (made by stores and manufacturers) say are essential. I did end up upgrading a couple of items such as the ...

Great Book
This book is way more informative than my professor. Also, since introductory biology doesn't change within a couple of years, I'm really glad I saved money and purchased the seventh edition rather than the eighth.

You: On A Diet: The Owner's Manual for Waist Management 677 reviews
Mehmet C. Oz, Michael F. Roizen
Free Press, 2006
From the Author of Outstanding You
Outstanding You: Discover, Design and Achieve Ultimate Fitness
Perhaps the most important aspect of fitness is understanding your own body. This book provides another perspective on dieting. For that reason, I recommend at least reading it for the different viewpoint you may pick up. I rated it high because I find the more information, the better. Even if you decide not to use some, most ...

Little, Brown and Company, 2003
This is the 4th time I bought this
I give it to everyone. I bought this when I was pregnant. I was given it as a gift from my neighbor too. I have bought 3 more times as gifts for mothers to be. I will buy more. It is a wonderful resource on literally everything. I found that it is not too opinionated. They do state their preference and their the other choices. It is not set up strictly according to age either. I highly recommend ...

Its a never ending fight against the liberals who hate America's greatness. Obama is just another Marxist and will be defeated in November.

Love & Respect: The Love She Most Desires; The Respect He Desperately Needs220 reviews
Emerson Eggerichs
Thomas Nelson, 2004
Amazingly Practical, Not Preachy
I don't usually write reviews on books because many other people can be so much more detailed. However, this book is so amazing I HAVE to rate it or I'll feel guilty!
I have read a lot of books on marriage, and this is BY FAR the most practical, far-reaching one I have ever read. It has changed my relationship with my husband by changing the way I view almost every interaction between us.

Tribes: We Need You to Lead Us
Seth Godin
Portfolio Hardcover, 2008
If you're looking at this page this far ahead of publication, you're probably a member of Seth Godin's tribe. And if so, you already know what this book is about. You know about waiting in line at an Apple store, or the look on a fellow Deadhead's face. You know about the way it feels to go back to the church where you grew up. You know about the real power of a brand. According to Godin, Tribes are groups of people aligned around an ...

For Women Only: What You Need to Know about the Inner Lives of Men215 reviews
Shaunti Feldhahn
Multnomah Books, 2004
he should be reading the counterpart. it's not all on you, girl!
I agree with other reviewers that this may encourage women to be less assertive of their needs and more understanding when their husbands are doing things the don't understand/agree with.
This book did help me understand my man but he's still accountable for his actions.
He read the counterpart for men and has adapted his behaviors as well. If you have the sort of relationship where you can ...

His Needs, Her Needs: Building an Affair-Proof Marriage206 reviews
Willard F. Harley Jr.
Revell, 2001
his needs her needs a must read for people who want all they can enjoy out of their marraige.
I enjoy the cd so I can listen in the car. I think every spouse should want to be all they can be and in turn allow their partner to be all they can be. The cd gives examples of how we "destroy" our marriages without realizing it. Amarriage takes time, effort, love and most of all God. A must have review whenever you get the chance, least you forget exactly why you got married.

After the Fire: A True Story of Friendship and Survival 2 reviews
Robin Gaby Fisher
Little, Brown and Company, 2008
One of the best books I've read in a very long time...
I LOVED this book. It's the true story of two young men, terribly burned in a dormitory fire at Seton Hall University a few years back. Living overseas at the time of the fire, I had no knowledge this tragedy ever occurred; but I bought the book on the recommendation of a friend and immediately found that I couldn't put it down.
It's an incredibly well-written story that will draw you into ...

Practice Makes Perfect: Spanish Verb Tenses125 reviews
Dorothy Richmond
McGraw-Hill, 1996
The perfect guide to accompany your Spanish studies
I would recommend this book along with Practice Makes Perfect: Spanish Pronouns and Prepositions for any level learner of Spanish, but I'd advise you to have a little bit previous knowledge. It's really cheap, explains every important concept in a very simple way and includes lots of exercises to practice. I've been using this book since the summer after I finished my first year of Elementary ...

Absolutely loved this book!
Well I'm shocked at how many have rated this book poorly and goes to show everyone has different likes in what they read. I have not been so interested in a book in so long. I could not put this down and became incredibly enthralled with each of the characters ... all for differing reasons. I almost felt as though I was somewhere mixed in, literally within, their lives. I understood them and ...
