Still my Favorite!
Yes out of all of his books and others this book is still one of my favorite books of all time, I can't count how many times I have read this book over and over. I think the fact that it was one of the first books I fell in love with that is why it will always remain near and dear to me. Eric is such a skillful story teller that I fall in love with his novels, he weaves humor throughout the story ...

Dutton Adult, 1983
Buy this book!!!!
This is a definite "go to" book in the kitchen. We fluctuate between Vegan and Vegetarian, and this book fits the bill. If you are strictly Vegan, the dairy and egg prodcts can be easily substituted. Recipes are simple, easy to prepare, and "whole". You can't go wrong with this book. To the reviewer who questioned why Amazon woud use that "one star" review as the most helpful critical review ...

Children: The Challenge59 reviews

Dutton Adult, 1987
Children: The Challenge
Few books can be an helpful for a harried parent than Rudolf Dreikurs book, Children: The Challenge. Each chapter is like a tool in a tool box that you pull from memory as situations arise with your child. While the book was written many, many years ago, it continues as a classic that I can't recommend highly enough. This copy was bought so I could refresh my skills as a first time ...

The Hobo Philosopher
The first time that I read this book I was about 18 years old. This is the only book in my life that I have ever read where I can say that "I couldn't put it down". I read this book and I balled like a baby. I remember that I had to go and get a handkerchief and blow my nose while wiping the tears away so that I could continue reading. When I finished the book - and I only read the abridged ...

God's Smugger
I read this book years ago when it first came out & am so glad it is still in print. It is highly readable and amazing to see what Brother Andrew did for Christians in Communist countries. Persecution is still going on in Communist countries! Reading God's Smugger will help you to know the great need of prayer for those who are not free to wroship the Lord Jesus Christ. And be aware of the our ...

Introduction to the Devout Life (Everyman's Library)39 reviews
Francis
Dutton Adult, 1961
A roadmap to Heaven
Having read this book, I can now understand why St. Francis de Sales is a doctor of the Church. Simply put, Philothea, or An Introduction to the Devout Life is a roadmap to Heaven. But unlike many of the theological tracts or mystical tomes which one often finds professing to do the same thing, this book is, very simply, a practical manual for living a devout life in a world that is often ...

Jennings Michael Burch
Dutton Adult, 1984
Read it
It's the kind of things we wish didn't happen but do and pretending it doesn't exist wont make it go away. Acctually the more we know about it and the more we speak about it the the more we can prevent it. Well written. Good book. Read it. Share it.

The Devil, the Lovers, and Me: My Life in Tarot52 reviews
Kimberlee Auerbach
Dutton Adult, 2007
Sexy, Hilarious and Gorgeously Honest
This is an amazing book that made me cry in public a few times - and laugh out loud other times - sometimes embarrassingly close together. The writing is powerful and accessible and loveable... Each chapter reminds you what a dangerous and wonderful place life is for anyone who lives passionately.

Game Dog: The Hunter's Retriever for Upland Birds and Waterfowl - A Concise New Training Method24 reviews
Richard A. Wolters
Dutton Adult, 1995
Great Book
This is a great book for anyone training a RETRIEVER to upland bird hunt. We hunt with another dog and it is very clear where her training was lacking and why she has the hunting issues she has thanks to this book. I trust with the help of this book, we will be more successful training our puppy in May. We had also read Gun Dog which though the more famous of Richard's books, is more geared ...

John Bunyan
Dutton Adult, 1972
The audio book is very good
I have made it a habit this year to get through many of the classics on audio book during my daily commute. I picked Pilgrim's Progress since it was one of the most influential English books ever published, and I wanted to see what it was all about.
The audio book was published by Blackstone Audio and the reader was Robert Whitfield. The reader did an excellent job and was very easy to ...

Perfection in Literature
I'm a novelist myself, and began reading Stephen King at the age of ten. About seven years ago, I was browsing through the S. Kings at the library looking for something that I hadn't read fifteen times when I ran across One on One completely by accident. Because the particular S. King that I was looking for wasn't on the shelf, I decided to "broaden my horizons" and take it for a "test drive," ...

The New World Spanish English/English Spanish Dictionary with CD-Rom: Revised Edition (Spanish and English ...30 reviews
Dutton Adult, 1996
What can I say?
It's a dictionary, so what else is there to say? The print was okay, although people might have a problem with it, that it might be too small. But as I said, it's a dictionary, so there's no real way to review it in that sense.

A wonderful book that brings positive changes to my life
This is a great book and it does bring a lot of positive changes to my home. A simple example, I have switched all my cleaning product to simply vinegar + water + tea tree oil. The result is wonderful - my house is cleaner without chemical smell.
I have recommended this book to my friends.

Joan Wolf
Dutton Adult, 1988
Excellent version of the Arthur legends
This was a great read -- I could not put it down. It was wonderful to start with the young Arthur and the experiences that made him the man - king -- that he was. The love story between Arthur and Morgan is truly heartbreaking and will bring tears to your eyes. The scene where Arthur comes face to face with the son he didn't know he had is gut wrenching.
I highly recommend this book, as well ...

The Lessons from St. Francis: A Monk's Guide to Daily Life29 reviews
John Michael Talbot, Steve Rabey
Dutton Adult, 1997
Great book for group discussions on living simply
I've used this book for months as the group discussion on living simply with Franciscan spirituality as our guide. The group, mostly in their 20's and 30's, has greatly enjoyed reading and living these lessons. Talbot has lived according to this way of the spirit for years, and writes out of his own personal experience, as well as drawing upon Francis, and many other great spiritual writers. ...

Heart-achingly wonderful
This book has the rare ability to break and fill your heart simultaneously. The details of Mattie's life are already fascinating, but when shared from the intimate perspective of his mother the words truly capture the glow that surrounded this amazing young man. No less amazing is the author herself, whose love, intellect, wisdom, and sheer awe come through beautifully in the writing, and even ...
