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 ...

Gift from the Sea: A Guided Journal (Guided Journals)106 reviews
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Peter Pauper Press, 2001
A Joy Forever
What more can be said about this lovely collection of thoughts? Even as it celebrates its 50th anniversary, it is as fresh as the day it was penned. This book is a keeper if ever there was one, a volume to be read and re-read and handed down to one's children, which is what I intend to do with the most recent Gift from the Sea that I bought.

Health Communications, 1997
A great gift!
I bought this book as a gift for my 16yr old niece. The very next day, she told me how much she loved the book. She even cried reading it. I think it's nice to find reading materials that can move the minds and feelings of teenagers.

C. S. Lewis
HarperOne, 2001
A Grief Analyzed
Originally published under a pseudonym, this short book is a thoroughly reasoned but heart-felt analyzation of grief from the private writing journal of intellectual author and academia giant, C.S. Lewis. The object of his grief is the love of his life, his rare intellectual equal and friend whom he met later in life and fell deeply in love with, making her his wife.
Born Atheist, C.S. Lewis ...

Saunders Comprehensive Review for the NCLEX-RNŽ Examination (Saunders Comprehensive Review for Nclex-Rn)113 reviews
Linda Anne Silvestri
Saunders, 2007
Fantastic Book!!
I just bought this book to study for the NCLEX-RN and am very happy I did. There was about 4 questions out of the 80 I received on the actual test that were almost identical to questions from this book. The other girl I know who bought this book only got 75 questions on the NCLEX and said only great things about the book. If you want to decrease your chances of not passing the boards, BUY THIS ...

Effective Java(TM) Programming Language Guide (Java Series)120 reviews
Joshua Bloch
Prentice Hall PTR, 2001
Great Guide
I am only about half way through this book and already have learned numerous things about the design of Java as a language and about proper usage of said language. This book is going to be a staple in my programming library and a book recommended to anyone I know working with Java. I am also looking forward to the second edition which is slated to be released in May sometime.

Ashtanga yoga: The practice manual78 reviews
David Swenson
Ashtanga Yoga Productions, 2000
Perfect for the mat
I love this book! it has all the positions you can think of, and different ways of doing each one to make them easier or more advanced. I loved how it showed the guy in the book doing yoga poses on cliffs and stuff. It was inspirational (although i won't be doing that anytime soon!) It came in great condition, and quickly.

Lazy Man's Guide to Enlightenment60 reviews
Thaddeus Golas
Gibbs Smith, Publisher, 2002
This book is a lesson on unconditional love
The recent reprint of this book has an addition of a short biography with photographs of the author. Included is a letter for readers that he wrote in his last years about how the book came to be and a few added thoughts he had towards the end of his life. What I have learned from this book is that no resistence is the way to love people with charity; with full unconditional love. If you can ...

Richard Hittleman's Yoga: 28 Day Exercise Plan80 reviews
Richard Hittleman
Bantam, 1983
A Book You'll Use Forever
I first used a copy of this book way back when Richard Hittleman had a PBS program on yoga. I've returned to this book on and off ever since.
The yoga practice he teaches here is:
1) easy to do for anyone, regardless of fitness level or age.
2) presented in simple, daily, DO-able sequences.
3) nicely illustrated with photographs that show exactly how to do the postures.
4) supplemented ...

Streams in the Desert71 reviews
L. B. Cowman, James Reimann
Zondervan, 1999
Awesome books to share
I've ordered multiple copies of this book on three occasions, and will probably reorder more. This is a book with more than the typical daily devotion ... it has meat and it has substance. It is a great light to follow during your day and it contains plenty of 'food for thought'. I received my first copy of this devotional from one of my pastors and have shared 8 copies with other people in my ...

Real life wisdom for living life in balance and with heart.
Rachel tells her stories openly, with compassion and great warmth.

Shepherd Looks at Psalm 23, A67 reviews
W. Phillip Phillip Keller
Zondervan, 1974
Former shepherd adds new meaning to a familiar psalm
The 23rd. Psalm is certainly one of the most familiar passages in the Bible. Despite that fact, author W. Phillip Keller adds new depth and meaning to it as he shares his experiences as a shepherd as they relate to Psalm 23. He shows us that a good shepherd is sufficient for all of a sheep's needs if he will but follow and obey him. He describes how a shepherd sets up a cast sheep (one who has ...

Imitation of Christ70 reviews
a Kempis Thomas
Tan Books & Publishers, 1984
The treasure
Why claim trinkets when you can read one of the best devotionals on the market. I use it to keep my daily life in check, to remember to have the right focus and to live what I believe. This is the top of the charts for a "Christian" work. Brother A'Kempis was a great instructor and a wise disciple. So much of todays mediocre fluff is twisted by society, self centeredness and lazy Christianity ...

Gary L. Thomas

Very Biblical!
My wife and I have gone through the first chapter and answered all the study questions. We both loved it! After doing the first chapter I feel that the principles so far are very biblical. The way Gary Thomas explains marriage helping us become more Christ like is very comparable to the way the Bible explains how trials and tribulations are used to strengthen us, if we allow it. If you are ...

Code Complete: A Practical Handbook of Software Construction95 reviews

Microsoft Press, 2004
Every Programmer Should Own This Book
When I bought this book, I couldn't believe all the 5 star ratings in the reviews. But, now that I've finished it, I have to agree with them. Simply put, this is probably the best computer-related book I've read. In the book's 850 pages, I found a grand total of five minor problems: one was grammatical, two were typographical and two were minor disagreements with how some things were ...
