Little Bear (Order No.Tjr200cx) 30 reviews
Holmelund Minarik
Listening Library, 1990
Charming, cheerful readers for little ones
My kids and I came to know Little Bear through the cartoons on TV first. Perhaps part of the appeal of the books for my kids is that they know these stories well from the cartoon, but the books are much more engaging!
Best of all, unlike the cartoons, you have the amazing illustrations of Maurice Sendak. They give the books a timeless appeal.
Perfect to read to little ones, and an ...

Cheaper Than Therapy: How to Keep Life's Small Problems from Becoming Big Ones34 reviews
Gina Greenlee
Aventine Press, 2005
Coping with Clutter
This charmingly simple book spoke volumes to me about the dangers of a disorganized life, and brought to mind several practical applications. If I don't hang up my clothes every night, my bedroom is soon an unworkable mess. If I don't take care of my mail (and other paperwork) diligently and often, it soon becomes overwhelming, and I can't find that piece of paper I really need. If I don't ...

Advertising Secrets of the Written Word: The Ultimate Resource on How to Write Powerful Advertising Copy from ...47 reviews
Joseph Sugarman
Delstar Pub, 1998
Adweek Copywriting Handbook is the updated version of Advertising Secrets Book
I ordered Advertising Secrets from our state library system because it is out of print and I didn't want to spend the high prices from the resellers. When I received it, I realized it is an exact copy of The Adweek Copywriting Handbook by Joseph Sugarman which IS in print and is sold for about $39 here at Amazon. The "Adweek" version is word for word the same except for a slight mention of the ...

Robert's Rules For Dummies31 reviews
For Dummies, 2008
This book is outstanding
Alan does a fabulous job making sense of Robert's Rules. I became a new Chairman of a committee with no experience in the Rules. After reading his book I felt confident I could run the meeting in the proper format. I now keep the book with me at all meetings as a handy reference. Thanks for a great resource. Also, I love the way he gives relevant examples of potential circumstances and how ...

Bob Berg
Burg Communications, 1998
Fantastic!
I would highly recommend this book and his "Endless Referrals" book to anyone who owns a business or is in sales. I was new to Chamber of Commerce and networking meetings, and Bob's books allowed me to step in and have at least a five-fold better impact from those meetings. Quickly become an influencer in your city! Bob Burg's books can help you gain a competitive edge and be more profitable.

The Revolution: A Manifesto708 reviews
Ron Paul
Grand Central Publishing, 2008
Ron Paul is brilliant...
I am 20 years old, and first stumbled upon Ron Paul back when he originally declared his intent to run for President. I'd heard his name before, and immediately began seeing "Who is Ron Paul?" chalked all around campus. I always considered myself "conservative," but am attending school at a former East-coast hotbed for left wing radicalism (and where more than 85% of the people voted for Obama ...

Robert's Rules Of Order Newly Revised In Brief44 reviews, ...
Perseus Publishing, 2004
Read This Before Reading Robert's Rules (in full)
This slim volume is a great alternative if you're just starting out in parliamentary procedure, without having to thumb through the whole of Robert's Rules. I found it useful and informative, and it gives you a great general idea of how exactly meetings and organizations should be run. Reading the whole of Robert's Rules of Order Newly Revised would be a great undertaking and it's great that the ...

American Wholefoods Cuisine: Over 1300 Meatless, Wholesome Recipes from Short Order to Gourmet36 reviews
Nikki Goldbeck, David Goldbeck
Plume, 1984
American Wholefoods Cuisine
Trying to find a good all round vegetarian cookbook is quite a difficult task. Many of the vegetarian cookbooks I've come across are either gourmet and not really suitable for everyday meals or full of bland tofu recipes that resemble cardboard in taste and texture. Finding recipes that use only whole foods is even more difficult. I've only come across one or two good ones that had maybe a half ...

Rosemary Thornton
Gentle Beam Publications, 2002
Renewed Interest
I just finished reading The Houses That Sears Built. I was unable to put it down. I grew up in a Sears house, but I did not know anything about them until I read this book. It is obvious that the author did her homework while researching the subject.

AWESOME!!!
I could not put this book down. The mental and physical abuse that Ms Castro and her brother received is unbelievable. As we move through her incredible life it is inspiring that she was able to rise above her circumstances and find peace within herself and create a loving enviroment for her son. I have no history with JW, but would recommend this book to anyone. Beautifully written. Can't ...

Hope is the best of this trilogy.
Ok,so I wasn't real impressed with the first two books, Faith and June,but I really did enjoy this one. Enough to consider reading the next three,Glory,Ruth and Patience!
I got aggravated at the mind boggling number of setbacks,that happen to this couple,that are just totally unbelievable,but I'm just starting to think of them as comedy elements in this author's stories. Just don't know how ...

Counterfeit god
Texe's powerful book awakens us to the fact that we are immortal Spiritual Beings temporarily entrapped in the realm of Illusion ... these symbols are indicators that we are in the "prison" planet of the "counterfeit god", the god of this world, who uses every means of deception to keep us prisoners in his domain of matter.
This "Negative power" is the prison warden ... our role is to purify ...

Wonderful
What a wonderful book about a wonderful saint! This book, while not a difficult read, is certainly rich in emotion, beauty, and spirituality. If you have read St.Therese's "Story of a Soul", this is an excellent "second book" to read. It tells of the story of a relationship between a seminarian/priest and St.Therese in her last days. I recommend it for anyone's spiritual edification, especially ...

The Scent of God: A Memoir of Spirituality & Love
When I was an adolescent growing up in a small Kansas town, I sometimes dreamt of becoming a nun--even though I was not Catholic. My cousin, Virginia, had given her life to God and went off to a convent. It all seemed so dramatic and selfless, and I admired her courage and commitment to a life of prayer and spiritual discipline.
I have always been intrigued with the women who left their ...

Velma Maia Thomas
Crown, 1997
A Personal Interaction with History
I particularly enjoyed Ms. Thomas' use of the terms 'my people' and 'my ancestors'. I too am African-American. The book treats those enslaved as individual people rather than a mass to be studied. The photographs and documents in the book address the individual and group experience in slavery. The three dimensional maps, slave ship, and documents bring history to life. I recommend this book ...

Heartfelt
I rarely write book reviews. But I felt compelled to write this one when I reread parts of this book last night after having bought it seven years ago! I purchased the book about a year before I adopted my first Corgi. She was 9 years old at the time. And she's two months shy of her 15th birthday today. She's added so much to my life. This book was written with a great dose of love and ...

Victor Hugo
Mondial, 2005
My Favorite Hugo!!
I have read almost all of Hugo's novels and I feel he was a master beyond most as far as story telling goes. This particular books is ingenious with the various characters and the twists and turns and the tragedies and political statements. It broke my heart, while exciting me to cheer on the lead character in his efforts to right the wrongs of the parliament. I loved the characters of this ...
