Hurricanes & Rainbows: Finding Life's Promise After The Storm 15 reviews
Mark J. Armstrong
Outskirts Press, 2007
I didn't like this book...I loved it!
This was not an enjoyable book to read--at least not the parts that described all of the life events that led to Mr. Armstrong's depression. However, it was a highly rewarding read. I am happy that Mr. Armstrong got his life back. I am glad he learned how to cope with the lousy hand his life dealt him. I am grateful that he wrote about his experiences, however painful it must have been for ...

Hot, "Hot Rocks"
Amos Lassen and Literary Pride
The Nick Hoffman series has always had social observations and "Hot Rocks" is no different. This time the venue is a health club for the wealthy and the observations are wittier and funnier than ever. The seventh in the series, Lev Raphael does not disappoint a ...

Mrs. Mooley7 reviews
Golden Books
Golden Books, 1993
My Two Year Old Can't Get Enough of This Book
Several times a day my two year old will place himself squarely in front of my wife or myself and simply demand "Mrs. Mooley!" That's about the best endorsement I can give for a children's book. This tale is of a cow who is inspired by a misplaced book of nursery rhymes to accomplish one -- the cow jumping over the moon. All of the other animals laugh at Mrs. Mooley as she practices for her ...

Deadly Vintage: A Molly Doyle Mystery7 reviews
Elaine Flinn
Perseverance Press, 2007
Better than the rip-off
Elaine Flinn's Doyle series is outstanding, and far, far better on every level than the Jane Cleland series that ripped off almost everything from this great series.
Read the original and the best!

Get in the Game: 8 Elements of Perserverance that Make the Difference
This book provides extremely useful guidelines in dealing with situations we all eventually run into in our lives. While alluding to baseball related examples, it does not simply dwell solely on recounting Mr. Ripken's impressive baseball accomplishments or relate amusing/interesting anecdotes. Instead it gives thought-provoking insights into two all too fast-disappearing basic axioms in our ...

Inspiration, Wisdom and Story-Telling in One Package!
This is a quick yet powerful read. One you will want to re-read over the course of your lifetime as you grow and face new challenges. I became intrigued when I found a signed copy of this book in a local bookstore so brought it home. I read it in one sitting and have since shared it with my pre-teen son as a tool to discuss his evolving life philosophy.
I am thankful that Joe Tye slowed ...

In Touch Study Series,the Understanding Eternal Security7 reviews
Charles F. Stanley
Thomas Nelson, 1998
LOVED THIS BOOK!
I really enjoyed reading this book and thought it was excellent. Not only did it focus on the "why do I feel this way" aspects of emotions, but it also offered great suggestions on how to deal with our emotions. The book focuses on emotions in general, but then gradually confronts specific emotions such as anger, fear, anxiety in later chapters. It gives great examples on what to do when you ...

A Must Read for Families
Missing Michael is a wonderful and compelling book. As gripping as their parents' love for their son is the unyielding love and support from Michael's big sister Meaghan. Families will be faced with challenging times and can learn from this Family that has truly persevered. This is an excellent work from author Mary Lou Connolly and should be shared with those you care for.

Step by Step: A Memoir of Hope, Friendship, Perseverance, and Living the American Dream5 reviews
Bertie Bowman
One World/Ballantine, 2008
Long Time Friend
I have known Bertie for 35 years, since I was a messenger on the Foreign Relations Committee. Years ago, Bertie told me some of the stories in the book; I witnessed many; and I knew about many more. Bertie used to introduce me as his cousin to his friends in the Senate, to their surprise. I leave it to the reader to guess my color.
I never learned more than when I worked for Bertie. If a ...

Face Down Below the Banqueting House: A Lady Appleton Mystery4 reviews
Kathy Lynn Emerson
Perseverance Press, 2005
Another superb mystery from Kathy Emerson
This novel continues the author's earlier works and is similar in style and content. There are two reasons for her novels, the first being to write excellent mysteries and the second to inform the reader of life in the Elizabethan age. This novel keeps the reader guessing until the end without any last-minute revelations that let the reader down. It shows how Lady Appleton uses her intuition and ...

The Boston Italians: A Story of Pride, Perseverance, and Paesani, from the Years of the Great Immigration to ...5 reviews
Stephen Puleo
Beacon Press, 2007
An insde look at history for Italians.
I really enjoy the book...It appears to be everything they forget to teach you about the Italian History in school...It's a real eye opener on what our country expected from new citizens. Being Italian and German I had Italian Grandparents who arrive durning the turn of the century. Had no idea what they had gone though to become citizens...I consider the book a very well writen book...

Silence Is Golden: A Connor Westphal Mystery4 reviews
Penny Warner
Perseverance Press, 2003
You're there ! In the Gold Country!
Mysteries these days do a lot more than mystify. Penny Warner always give us something to learn---and ponder. Who would have thought there were two legitimate sides whether or not to have a cochlear implant to enable hearing for the deaf? The author neatly wraps this conflict into Silence is Golden. And when you read this Gold Country mystery, you simply aren't where you were. You're there. ...

A Great Read for for "Kids" of all Ages
Great storyline about a young man chasing his passion of baseball and remembering just how it became his passion in the first place. Brought back some memories of my own childhood and how I dreamed of a Major League career. A good book for children in search of heroes and good read for us older "children" who can still remember what it was like to chase a dream. Does anyone know where I can ...

The Gigantic Little Hero: A Story About Perseverance4 reviews
Matt Whitlock
Cook Communications Ministries (CO), 2001
A Beautifully Illustrated Story
This book will be a children's favorite for years to come. The simple, rhymed story is set against page after page of colorful, gorgeous illustrations that my family just loved. The morals expressed are universal, and seem to have no connection to the Bible verses which precede and follow the story. I would have preferred a completely secular approach. Nevertheless, I heartily recommend this ...

A beautiful children's story
This inspirational story is one I have read to my son and he adores it. I was lucky enough to see the ballet version in Hagerstown, MD and received an autographed copy from the author. The illustrations are beautiful! The author is very in touch with children and I am going to order her other books.

A wonderful book about a high school wrestler with epilepsy.
This is a terrific, fast-paced book about Jake Chapman, who thinks the worst thing he's going to have to face his senior year in high school will be the struggle for the state wrestling championship. Then he begins having seizures and is diagnosed with epilepsy, and his life does a fast 180. He loses his scholarship, driving privileges, and girlfriend, and he's terrified the coach will kick ...
