Life of The Beloved: Spiritual Living in a Secular World43 reviews
Henri J Nouwen

The Crossroad Publishing Company, Inc., 1992

A quick read that deserves to be re-read over and over
This book is truly life-changing. I read this book after borrowing it from the library. I rarely buy books that I have already read, but this one is an exception. It is so full of wisdom that I want to carry it with me and read it often. Nouwen's writing is extremely clear and accessible, he is speaking to the reader as a good friend. And yet, his message could not be more profound. He leads us ... 		  
  







  
  
Nausicaa of the Valley of Wind : Perfect Collection (Vol 2)110 reviews

VIZ Media LLC, 1995

not comic, this is art.
I am surprised that USA people watch this comic series in addition to the same title movie. As you know, Naushika's story don't finish to the movie. The truth story start from reading this comic. Even if Japanase read them, the story is a little difficult, but there are more wondeful things than the minus point. For instance, the drawing ways. Generally comic(Japanese MANGA) is simple drawing. ... 		  
  







  
  
Raise the Roof: The Inspiring Inside Story of the Tennessee Lady Volunteers Undefeated 1997-98 Season42 reviews
Pat Summitt

Broadway, 1998

Champion once more.
Coach Summit is without a doubt the absolute best college basketball coach-male or female ever. And she doesn't even have to throw chairs. My hat's off to her and her program. Talk about integrity, work ethic and understanding of the game. Her book shines as a testament to her abilities. You have a lot to learn, Geno. 		  
  







  
  
The Missing Piece Meets the Big O34 reviews

HarperCollins, 1981

Amazing book period.
I absolutely love this book. It has such a great message, and I agree with a lot of the other reviewers that the message is wonderful for both kids and adults. The illustrations are wonderfully simple, and I really like how there are few words per page. This book makes for a great read aloud book for pre-schoolers. I read this book recently in front of my class of 4 and 5-year-olds and they ...

This book is for everyone!!!
Not only was this book written as a testimony to show how GOD navigates our lives to help us know that we are loved it also shows that with faith all things are possible. This book is not only for those with drug or alcohol addictions but it is for those of us who suffer addictions of all kinds, it is for those of us who don't believe in ourselves, for those who have experienced hurt and also ... 		  
  







  
  
Reflections on the Art of Living: A Joseph Campbell Companion29 reviews

Harper Perennial, 1995

The Art of Living
I've been a Joseph Campbell fan for years, and this book is a perfect one to give as a gift to someone who isn't quite up to reading his more scholorly works. It's a guideline for life gleaned from his in-depth study of cultural myths from which he developed his own wonderful philsophy of life.

Falling Up63 reviews
Shel Silverstein

Harpercollins Childrens Books, 2003

ALWAYS A JOY TO READ.
To be frank, I get a kick out of Silverstein's work. It is always a bit quirky, always takes a couple of readings to really "get," and is very entertaining while being quite insightful as to human nature. This work is no different from his other works, same quality, same odd way of looking at life, same delightful black and white drawings. Publisher's Weekly got it pretty right here, in their ...

Gift from the Sea: 50th Anniversary Edition105 reviews
Anne Morrow Lindbergh

Pantheon, 1991

A Few Shells
What timeless wisdom there is in this little book. Although it was written many decades ago, the challenges and issues faced by Anne Morrow Lindbergh are the same ones faced by women in today's crazy, bustling world. In fact, although women in Siberia, Cameroon, or Ceylon might not have her specific set of circumstances, they can still identify with Lindbergh's ponderings about a woman's life, ... 		  
  







  
  
Photo by Sammy Davis, Jr.20 reviews
Burt Boyar

HarperEntertainment, 2007

One Eyed Visionary
Few have personified the phrase "self-made man" as did legendary entertainer Sammy Davis, Jr. (1925-1990). The world remembers Davis for his varied and extraordinary accomplishments as an actor, singer, musician, dancer, and comedian. But hardly anyone outside his circle of friends and family has been familiar with his photography--until now. With this hefty book, interspersed with reminisces ... 		  
  







  
  
Secretariat25 reviews
Raymond G Woolfe

Chilton Book Co, 1974

This book is great!
This book is great and chock full of beautiful, rich, and colorful photos; Secretariat almost looks real in some of them. It has just as much accurate information as Bill Nack's "The Making of a Champion," but doesn't go into the tedious detail of related bloodlines and the syndicate deal made for Secretariat. I found this book to be better than Nack's because of that, the pacing, and the ... 		  
  







  
  
Passing Strange: True Tales of New England Hauntings and Horrors22 reviews
Joseph A. Citro

Houghton Mifflin, 1997

Ghosties, ghoulies, and a mystery or two
From the title of this book, I was expecting mostly ghost stories. However, this book is unique in its genre, and I was very pleasantly surprised! Although this book has much legend and lore, of which I am not usually a fan, this author's ability as a raconteur quickly overcomes the boundaries of time. These tales are superbly told by a master at his game. Joseph Citro, in his own words, ... 		  
  







  
  
Beth Shaw's Yogafit: The Program for a More Powerful, Flexible, and Defined Physique25 reviews
Beth Shaw

Human Kinetics Publishers, 2000

Chaturanga
Bravo Beth! Don't listen to the negativity being thrown around by some about either Beth Shaw or her program. Shaw has built a program of real Yoga for ordinary people seeking to start down the path of Yoga. Yes, her program attempts to simplify Yoga by removing Sanskrit and chanting -- but that doesn't mean her variety of Yoga is any less authentic. I see it as no different from what other ... 		  
  







  
  
The Little Red Lighthouse and the Great Gray Bridge: Restored Edition20 reviews
Hildegarde H. Swift

Voyager Books, 2003

A treasure

Engrossing, spiritual and unforgettable
This was such a unique book. It wasn't close to what I expected. Two boys, who live with their father in Alabama, are pretty much raised by their housekeeper, Ella Rain. Their father is very abusive and it impacts the boys life in drastic ways. Tucker, a photographer, is running from himself and the person he does not want to become.

Cheer Rocks!
I'd give this book 10 stars if I could! This is just an outstanding book! It tells the story of three cheerleading teams and what they have to go through. It made me really feel like I knew these people. It's a real page turner. I found myself cheering for them!! Superb job, Kate!!! --Gerard Zemek, husband of author of "My Funny Dad, Harry"

Cooking from Quilt Country : Hearty Recipes from Amish and Mennonite Kitchens27 reviews
Marcia Adams

Clarkson Potter, 1988

--Very enjoyable--
COOKING FROM QUILT COUNTRY is a pleasure to read. The title comes from the fact that Amish and Mennonite people are famous for their quilt making skills. This book gives a little background of the Mennonite and Amish sects and how they came into existence. The roots of the two groups originated with the Protestant Reformation and the Swiss Anabaptist movement. The leader was a Dutch priest ... 		  
  







  
  
Standing Next to History: An Agent's Life Inside the Secret Service27 reviews
Joseph Petro, Jeffrey Robinson

Thomas Dunne Books, 2005

An Interesting Read
I wanted to get a little more background on the life of a Secret Service Agent. I found this book filled with interesting tidbits of information. It was an easy read that I found entertaining, as well. His recounts of what it was like working around the Reagan administration, the Pope's US visit, etc. kept me interested for several hours worth of reading. It personalized some of the details ...
