Anne Frank Remembered 30 reviews
Miep Gies
Simon & Schuster, 1988
"Not a day goes by..."
Miep Gies does not consider herself to be a hero, although anyone familiar with her story would probably consider her one. In "Anne Frank Remembered" Gies (along with Alison Leslie Gold) tells of the role she played in hiding the Frank family in Amsterdam during WWII. She sets the stage with her own personal background and how she came to work for Mr. Frank, and the special connection that she ...

A Land Remembered
This is an excellent book. We're not sure if it's such a page turner because we're from Florida or because it's exciting and informative and interesting but either way, every single person we've turned on to it has liked it.

A Land Remembered, Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 (Student Edition)
I was so happy when my 9 yr old grandson asked for these books. His teacher has been reading it to his 4th grade class and he became so interested he wanted a set of his own. Until I heard of my grandson's wish I didn't even know that the book had been published in a student version. Being a 3rd generation Florida native myself, the story has always been one of my favorites. Your website was very ...

Still Alive: A Holocaust Girlhood Remembered (The Helen Rose Scheuer Jewish Women's Series)11 reviews
Ruth Kluger
The Feminist Press at CUNY, 2003
Amazing
There are many excellent memoirs describing the Nazi death camps, but this one touched me in a way that no other book has.
My fiancé died in the World Trade Center, and this is really the only book that resonates with the deep, bitter grief I felt in that disaster's aftermath. I don't mean to compare 9/11 to the Shoah at all, but Kluger articulates many of the contradictory feelings and ...

4th grade teacher loves this book
I teach 4th grade in a public Florida elementary school. We read this book in the spring as a class. The students are enthralled by it. Since we have already studied this time period in Social Studies, they can easily make connections because the book includes actual events from Florida's history.
I personally found the first book to be much more intersting than the second. Although both ...

Ruark Remembered: By the Man Who Knew Him Best1 review
Alan Ritchie
Sporting Classics, 2007
the one way
While Alan Ritchie is no Boswell, he does present a full picture of the man, Robert Ruark. Ruark appeared to be a man larger than life and the attempt to capture the full man, reduced from legend, to appear slightly tarnished, and still accurate, seems a bit contrived. We see Ruark as a nouveau riche, trying desperately to be cool, but full of the shortcomings of an alcholic. While he is ...

It is a perfect introduction for newcomers to the power and depth of the Bhagavad Gita and for those who seek inspiration daily upon its deep wisdom.

The Way of the Essenes: Christ's Hidden Life Remembered16 reviews
Anne Meurois-Givaudan, Daniel Meurois-Givaudan
Destiny Books, 1992
More Than a Novel
I thought this book finally gave me a real sense of who Master Jesus was and how he related to his disciples. The passages where Jesus Christ spoke are poetic and truly sound like they come from the heart. This book has taken a place in my permanent collection so that I can read the inspiring passages again.

Jihad: The Rise of Militant Islam in Central Asia29 reviews
Ahmed Rashid
Yale University Press, 2002
Unbiased and Informative
Usually any book dealing with any aspect of Islam or other religions is either blatantly biased for or against that religion. Rashid manages to pull the attribution of all things to religion out of discussing Central Asia. He effectively demonstrates the impact of political economy and historical features on the regions lack of stability. Then he shows how religion--in this case Islam--aligns ...

Little Things Long Remembered: Making Your Children Feel Special Every Day9 reviews
Susan Newman
Crown, 1993
Little Things Delivers BIG!!
I've used this book for years. It gives me new ideas to try with my kids...and they work. The chapters are divided into time-frames of a minute or two, half an hour, over the weekend and so forth, so I pick one to meet the time I have. No book like it comes close in helping me show my children I love them.
Thanks....to Susan Newman!

Richie Ashburn Remembered
I just finished reading this lovely tribute to Richie Ashburn. I can remember him so well. My Pop used to listen to the Phillies on the radio before there was tv. So I grew up with the Phillies and he was one of the best and most endearing characters ever. Fran did a great job of capturing his great character and personality. He was truly one of a kind. Good job Fran!

My Soul Is Rested: Movement Days in the Deep South Remembered7 reviews
Howell Raines
Penguin (Non-Classics), 1983
Extraordinary account of an extraordinary time.
Howell Raines is the new executive editor for "The New York Times," but he is at heart a writer. Both strengths come to the fore in this excellent book on the American civil rights movement. As an oral history, it necessarily contains first-hand accounts of dozens and dozens of the main (and not-so-important) players in the movement. Raines does a fine and fair job of putting their stories ...

Plus, it's good fun for those with a passion for writing or reading. Her observations are wise. Her grasp of history is absolute. Her ideas stimulate intelligent and loving thought, ...
