The Heart of Female Same-Sex Attraction: A Comprehensive Counseling Resource

2 reviews
Janelle Hallman

IVP Books, 2008

Beautifully compiled, researched, & insightfully written book!
I just received my copy of this beautifully written account of a therapist who speaks candidly about the women whom she counsels with same sex attraction as a part of their lives. All I can say is "WOW"! I am so pleased with her knowledge of this issue and that she speaks from her heart and experience. This is an extremely valuable literary work for anyone dealing with female same sex attraction ...

We're Different, We're the Same (Pictureback(R))

Bobbi Kates

Random House Books for Young Readers, 1992

Excellent!
This book is absolutely great for young children. It stresses the importance of how even though we are all different, we are all basically the same. It teaches children to accept everyone no matter how they look, what race they are, etc. This should be on the bookshelf of every child. It is also great for those with multi-racial families.

A Long Obedience in the Same Direction: Discipleship in an Instant Society

Eugene H. Peterson

InterVarsity Press, 2000

Not if you want a quick fix for spirituality
Peterson's work here is spectacular. In a society that wants everything fast--include the mature fruit of Christianity spent years in the making and gestating--one cannot biggy size this or get it while speeding through the window. There isn't even a toy surprise inside! However, these serious, thought provoking, careful reflections into the shape and heart of discipleship bear patient ...

Same Words Different Language: How Men and Women Misunderstand each other at Work and What to do About it

Common Sense Advice on Gender Differences
I read a very interesting book the other day, "Same Words, Different Language" by Barbara Annis. Ms. Annis bills herself as "the world's leading gender specialist." After reading "Same Words, Different Language," I'm inclined to agree. If you are interested in understanding gender differences and how to deal with them, I suggest you read it too. In the introduction, Ms. Annis says, "I ...

The Same Sweet Girls
I read this book during the summer and thought my girlfriends would enjoy it too, so I order it for all of them. I couldn't get it out of my mind. I am these characters. My friends are these characters. Certainly art imitates life in its truest forms. This book, as well as Cassandra King's others, capture the very essence of Southern women, but not so much as to exclude women from other ...

The Same Man: George Orwell and Evelyn Waugh in Love and War
David Lebedoff

Random House, 2008

One climbed to the very top of the social ladder, the other chose to live among tramps. One was a celebrity at twenty-three, the other virtually unknown until his dying days. One was right-wing and religious, the other a socialist and an atheist. Yet, as this ingenious and important new book reveals, at the heart of their lives and writing, Evelyn Waugh and George Orwell were essentially the same man. Orwell is best known for Animal Farm and ...

We Are All the Same: A Story of a Boy's Courage and a Mother's Love

Jim Wooten

Penguin (Non-Classics), 2005

Courage is not a good enough word to describe this little boy's story
This is an absolutely incredible book about the story of AIDs in South Africa. Never before has the AIDs crisis been made so real to the reader. The story is focused around hero Nkosi Johnson's short life and legacy. Jim Wooten did a wonderful job of conveying the emotion and struggle of this conflict which is the greatest enemy of Africa today. Whoever gave this book two stars for not saying ...

Same-sex Marriage: The Moral And Legal Debate (Contemporary Issues (Prometheus))

2 reviews

Prometheus Books, 2004

just a starting point
The debate regarding same-sex marriages appears as if it will be a huge issue in 2004. For example,at the courthouse in San Francisco performed over 400 marriages (same sex) on February 14, 2004. They normally only perform a little over 400 weddings (opposite sex) a month. This means that many gay couples are committed to each other and want to make it legal in the eyes of the law. This book ...

Mathew D. Staver

B&H Publishing Group, 2004

Stuffed with factual data. Hopeful in Tone. Good Reading
In June 2006 the Federal Marriage Protection Amendment came marching into the United States Senate last week with great fanfare from both supporters and opposition. This is the proposed amendment to the U.S. Constitution that says: "Marriage in the United States shall consist solely of the union of a man and a woman. Neither this Constitution, nor the constitution of any State, shall be construed ...

The Politics of Same-Sex Marriage

University Of Chicago Press, 2007

Same-sex marriage emerged in 2004 as one of the hottest issues of the campaign season. But in a severe blow to gay rights advocates, all eleven states that had the issue on the ballot passed amendments banning the practice, and the subject soon dropped off the media’s radar. This pattern of waxing and waning in the public eye has characterized the debate over same-sex marriage since 1996 and the passing of the Defense of Marriage Act. ...

Same Sex in the City: (So Your Prince Charming Is Really a Cinderella)

8 reviews
Lauren Levin, Lauren Blitzer

Simon Spotlight Entertainment, 2006

Could NOT put this thing down!
I was up until the wee hours of the morning for three nights in a row--this book is a page-turner. I'm not gay (that's what they all say, but four beers later...), so the dating info wasn't really helpful to me, except in a fascinating, peek-through-the-keyhole kind of way. The narratives were riveting: two on Chanukah cruises in the Caribbean, threesomes gone bad, raw and real stories about ...

Same Difference & Other Stories

Derek Kirk Kim

Top Shelf Productions, 2004

Fantastic!
Derek Kirk Kim is one of the best comic book artists/writers/graphic novelists out there today. He's up there with Alex Robinson, Seth, and that group of select creators who are making quality books for people who are growing tired of some of the stale, stagnant writing in mainstream comics today. As much as I like Frank Miller, Bendis, and the other people working at Marvel and DC, the writing ...

On the Same Day in March: A Tour of the World's Weather

Marilyn Singer

HarperTrophy, 2002

Good but could have been great.
This is a good book to cover geographical effects of seasons with young children but could have been much better had the author chosen a day in winter/summer rather than spring/fall. Also, some of the slang to specific regions (eg. willy-willies in Australian section) should have been defined. Overall though, it was a useful education book and the kids enjoyed the perky text and lively ...

Estate Planning for Same-Sex Couples

Joan M. Burda

American Bar Association, 2004

A Vital Guide to the Changing Legal Landscape
Attorney Burda has done the impossible, writing a "black-letter law" treatise in an easy-to-read and enjoyable style. Practitioners will find it informative for its nuts-and-bolts practice tips, while members of the public will take away a 'how-to' roadmap (with forms!) when planning to protect themselves and their families. I recommend this book without reservations -- not only for ...

Book Review.
Angel had a hard life, with an unreliable mother, her father in jail, and a seven year old brat of a brother, Bernie. When she was only eleven, her mother, Bernie, and her, moved in with their poor grandmother. One night, her mother disappeared, without warning. Angel was very responsible, she made sure Bernie read, did his homework, ate right, and was more of an adult than her own mother. One ...
