Rooseveltiana
Are there many Roosevelt lovers out there who are under 70? I'm one of them, but I can't for the life of me understand why. It is perhaps because of the low esteem in which I hold the Presidents of my life time: Kennedy, Johnson and so on. God, how low we have come. It is surely a period of unprecedented mediocrity in national leadership. Can one honestly compare Bush, Clinton, Carter, or Ford to ...

School district leadership tool
The superintendent of our school district believes so highly in this book he recently ordered 100 copies and distributed them to each of our school buildings and administrative departments. Inside of each book he included a bookplate that read, in part, that he hopes that as each person finishes reading the book that he or she would pass it on to someone else. Many of our principals have called ...

A Bold Resistance to the Status Quo
Shane "gets it," despite what some intelligent, well-meaning reviews/reviewers suggest. God is not something "out there" waiting to judge, condemn and/or save believers and cast into hell the non-believers. God is in our action. In our kneeling eye-level comfort of a child, in our compassion for others, in our empathy and tears and laughter and, most of all, in our selfless efforts toward the ...

FULL OF SPARKS, EXCITEMENT & DANGER! WOW!!!
THERE'S A SERIAL KILLER LOOSE AND ALL OF HIS VICTIMS LOOK A LOT LIKE CLUB SINGER JESS BAXTER. THE FBI'S PROFILE OF THE SERIAL KILLER IS A WHITE MALE IN HIS PRIME, TRAVELS A LOT, NO FAMILY, CARRIES A CONCEALED WEAPON AND WAS ABUSED IN CHILDHOOD. I ESPECIALLY LIKED THE MYSTERY SURROUNDING ROB CARPENTER AND THE WAY THE FBI WERE PORTRAYED AS REALLY COMPASSIONATE AND DETERMINED IN THE COURSE OF ...

Excellent book for understanding trading
Takes a long time to get to the meat, but I suppose it is a necessary developement of understanding the meat to have this outline. Will be reading a second time.

A book for every woman
This book covered a broad range of issues surrounding pregnancy, birth and the change to becoming a parent. This is my first pregnancy, so, for me, this book was a great jumping off point to figure out what my birthing ideals and fears are. I have a clearer picture of further reading I would like to accomplish as well as further questions for my health care practitioners and experienced mothers ...

This is really SOMETHING!
I was not aware of the website until I got this book as a birthday gift. It was one of the best birthday gifts I have ever received. The book is amazing. The boldness of some of the messages is astonishing. You can learn here what the REAL world is all about. Some of the messages are funny, some sad, but most of them will make you stop and think about the way we interact with others, what are ...

Powerful book
Let me just say that the book is a powerhouse. The book covers a lot of ground in relatively little text (it seems long but the font is huge and there are illustrations all over the place). Someone made the decision that the book should be wildly decorative, which I actually thought worked well with the content, because it's definitely not meant to be chewed over academically - rather the book ...

Insightful, Biblical, and Practical - the perfect combination!
This book was a godsend for me! I had been stuck in the rut of continually "trying harder" to please God - to no avail, of course. I was repeatedly disheartened by my failure to live up to the expectations that I had for myself, not to mention God's expectations described in the Bible. As Ortberg explains, there is a significant difference between "trying" to be righteous and "training" for ...
The Starbucks Experience: 5 Principles for Turning Ordinary Into Extraordinary

Joseph Michelli
McGraw-Hill
, 2006
Interesting, contains great stories
This book is not the regular praise for a company than it is more a guideline of how to make a business sucessful. It is a great addition to the basic literature a leader should read, especially since it contains many interesting stories. It helps to create own ideas, especially if involved in the service industry. Very easy to read and nicely structured.

Great read - stayed with me for a long time
This was one of my favourite books as a teen (ie about 15 years ago)! It's about grief and death and a family falling apart. I kept my battered copy for years when I lived in the UK and brought it home to Jamaica with me. I really identified with it at the time and felt that it crossed gender, racial, and cultural barriers in dealing with the topics. I am not white, upper middle class American ...

THE WAY, THE TRUTH, THE LIFE . . .
This book is third installment of the Goodmans' chronicling of the investigative researches and discoveries of the journalistic odyssey which is Democracy Now, in my opinion, at least, the most important public project of the past decade. The word from Radio Free America is there to remind us that we do not live by bread alone. I wax Biblical, because the holiest thing one can do at this point ...
Twelve Ordinary Men: How the Master Shaped His Disciples for Greatness, and What He Wants to Do with You
13 reviews
John MacArthur
Thomas Nelson
, 2006
great book for Christians and non-Christians alike
What made Christ's disciples the men that were chosen? What made them so great? It was that they were ordinary men, like you and me. MacArthur takes the disciples and writes what we know about them and what kind of men they were. His only source is the Bible. Well, he uses other sources to find out what happened to them (in some cases) after the Resurrection. There is a little speculation here ...

Powerful
I RatMouse am telling you that this is a very powerful book when it comes to 'self-help' books! It has helped me to find my way out of the sewers more than a few times! I RatMouse hereby prescribe this book to anyone who is struggling with themselves (which we all do at one point or another).

Superb book
This excellent book is probably superior to most of the run-of-the-mill ODE texts now in use. It's questionable how many sophomore ODE courses teach students how to solve some of the ODEs covered even in the first few sections of this comprehensive text. Of course, in this day and age, it's becoming fashionable to give any kind of DE to a computer to solve (even analytically), but knowledge of ...

An Obit Collection Meant to Be Savored
Jim Sheeler notes in his introduction: "The death beat is supposed to be the worst job in the newsroom. For those of us who understand, it's journalism's best kept secret -- a place of raw emotion and endless wisdom, a place where you find lessons of life more brilliant that anything you'll find from the traditionally designated 'noteworthy' people who usually appear in the rest of the ...

Collins

This book will invigorate you if you let it
This is an important book, and I suggest you read it. Whether you think you have the life of the entrepreneur all figured out or not, the truth is, none of us do. Michael brings his 30 years of experience to the table, not to tell us how to find the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, but how to clarify our vision to produce an amazing result for the customers of our creation. As you wander ...
Ordinary Men: Reserve Police Battalion 101 and the Final Solution in Poland

Christopher R. Browning
Harper Perennial
, 1993
Not for the faint of heart, or the weak of stomach!
This book (as described by previous reviewers and the product description) details what the men in the Nazi Reserve Police Battalion 101 went through, specifically during the SS Invasion of Poland. Browning describes in detail the process of dehumanizing the Jews, and writes at length on the style of execution that the Germans refined and perfected in Poland, prior to the widespread use of gas ...
