Malcolm Macpherson

St. Martin's Griffin, 2002

An unexpected great read with joy, sadness, and humor
This is an exceptional novel. I loved every moment of this beautiful story of the love and friendship between a man and his elephant. I cried and laughed and sat in awe of the beauty and wonder of this book. While the begining starts raw, powerful and mournful, don't be discouraged. This only last for a few pages.

Time Cat: The Remarkable Journeys of Jason and Gareth31 reviews
Albert Payson Terhune

Topeka Bindery, 1999

Books about a dog...
are now legion, as they say. But Terhune was the first person to make them worthwhile to read! I recently came across Albert Payson Terhune's oeuvre, Sunnybank, and Lad, etc. while preparing to purchase a collie for our home. Although we did not eventually get the 'dog of our dreams,' all of my hopes and aspirations, which had been fueled by watching "Lassie" almost fifty years ago, were ...

Rosemary Altea

Vision, 1996

A GRAND Medium
This book was given to me by one of my customers following the death of my son. I went on to write, Blessings In The Mire, and had this title not been taken, it would likely have been the title to my book. Having read this, I was privy to multiple magical events, including a couple of Eagle sightings, and one very large and beautifully expressive Rose miracle. This book, and Ms. Altea are ...

Heavenly Man is the book of the year.

Small Miracles Of Love & Friendship: Remarkable Coincidences of Warmth and Devotion12 reviews
Yitta Halberstam, Judith Leventhal

Adams Media, 2002

I adore the entire series of Small Miracles
I love the Small Miracles Books. I keep buying and rebuying this book because I am constantly giving my copy away as a gift and therefore need to replace it. This book is especially meaningful to me because I was reading it at a time that I was giving up on miracles and optimism. However, this book has been uplifting. I know can realize that small miracles exsist in everyday life and there is ... 		  
  







  
  
It's Time...for Network Marketing. The most remarkable form of free enterprise12 reviews

MarketWave, Inc. and Highest Potential Training, 2007

It absolutely IS time...
If the general public would read, or even scan the stories in this book, it would change the reputation of Network Marketing. It makes so much sense. The problem is, most people just don't know how to run a business and so they never see success in Network Marketing or any other business. I personally know several of the authors and they really are "the real deal". I enjoyed reading their ...

Phil Ershler, Susan Ershler, ...

Grand Central Publishing, 2007

Beautiful and Inspiring Mountain Adventures
Phil and Sue Ershler's story has everything I enjoy in a book - adventure, courage, inspiration, challenges faced and challenges overcome, and the kind of love that can, literally, overcome mountains. As a small-time climber myself (Rainier's the highest I've ever summited), I could relate to the love of the mountains the Ershlers feel, and the enjoyment that comes in testing oneself emotionally ...

Attachments of Darkness are real, and can be removed
This book looks at attachments of darkness, spirits, and how they suppress the body and mind. There is good and powerful information here. I have read many books on the subject, and have been trying to fit in where alternative medicine and these "things" that I know fit together. If you want to go even further, about where these things come from, and more precise methods to "dis-attach" them, ...

Squirrely
I loved this book, and not just because I love squirrels. This is a wonderful account of one womans life with her urban squirrel friends in NYC. Having just been to Washington Square Park where the book takes place I can see how these squirrels became so dependant on the kindness of others. This is a great book for those who may not be fans of the squirrel, but who would at least appreciate a ...
