Saving the Family Cottage: A Guide to Succession Planning for your Cottage, Cabin, Camp or Vacation Home 2nd ... 8 reviews
Stuart J. Hollander
Pleasant City Press, LLC., 2008
Saving the Family Cottage
This is an excellent book, very well-written. The author advocates for use of limited liability corporations, but sets out some information about the other choices. It is very easy to understand -- not always the case with books presenting legal concepts.

Seed to Seed: Seed Saving and Growing Techniques for Vegetable Gardeners24 reviews
Suzanne Ashworth, Kent Whealy
Seed Savers Exchange, 2002
Seed to Seed
This is perhaps the best book on the subject of raising heirloom plants and then harvesting the seed. It explains in detail procedures for timing, protecting from undesirable cross pollination, and harvesting seed. I would recommend to the author that at the end of every plant type (genus) that a summary chart that is easy to identify be placed. Large plant groups like beans, for instance, had ...

Saving Your Second Marriage Before It Starts 6 reviews

Zondervan, 2001
Must Read for Couples Thinking of Remarriage
As a pastor of over 25 years, I have used several books as part of a pre-marital counseling regiment. Drs. Les and Leslie Parrotts' books are the best, by far! Not only do the Man's and Woman's Workbooks (I suggest ordering them with the book) make premaritial counseling simpler, I have found that this book hits the nail on the head. Couples who went through the "Saving Your Marriage Before It ...

Saving Dinner: The Menus, Recipes, and Shopping Lists to Bring Your Family Back to the Table254 reviews
Leanne Ely
Ballantine Books, 2005
An Easy and Successful Way to Menu-Plan
This is such a great concept- and it works, if you are faithful to it.
I got cookbook/guide a while ago and used it haphazardly at first, choosing to follow it on some weeks and ignore it on others.
Then, a friend of mine who saw it at my house and ordered it started following it faithfully and told me of her good experiences with the book. I decided that I would give it a go, and have not ...

Saving Fish from Drowning: A Novel (Ballantine Reader's Circle) 188 reviews
Amy Tan
Ballantine Books, 2006
Better than the negative reviews
I can't figure out why so many reviews are not favorable for this book. I love it for its humor, some dark and some silly. The opening line, "It was not my fault." was great and I did find this in keeping with Tan's writing and character style.
The story is set in Myanmar (formally Burma) and follows a bumbling group of "ugly american" type tourists through the country as they visit and ...

Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts Workbook for Men: Seven Questions to Ask Beforeand AfterYou Marry1 review
Les and Leslie Parrott
Zondervan, 2006
Learning about each other
You will definitely need the actual book to use the workbooks. My fiance and I have been working through the lessons and are about halfway through the workbooks. The best thing about the exercises is that there are so many things about my future wife that I didn't know, especially in regards to how she thinks and feels about certain aspects of life. We are becoming closer as we're beginning to ...

The Saving Life of Christ11 reviews
Major W. Ian Thomas
Zondervan, 1989
Thank you Grandpa!
I have been a Christian for a long time, and grew up in a great Christian home...the authors home to be precise. I was taught many of the principles from the Saving Life Of Christ from a very young age, but to be honest they didn't always sink in. Through high school I went through a very rebelious stage as so many ministry kids do and wasted a lot of time and opportunity to allow Christ to ...

Patricia Gaffney
Harper Paperbacks, 2004
Wish I had some saving graces like these
I have not read Gaffney before but I was pleasantly surprised. The characters are strong and the best part of the novel is that each woman is able to tell her story in her own words.
strial -carpeted Rudy's battle with depression and a controlling husband and the way she believes she needs to be saved is a lesson for many of us. The graces "save" her by letting her know she can "save" herself ...

Leanne Ely

Fun for all
Even if you (like me) know how to cook this is still a great book to have. Leanne gives some helpful tips about setting up your kitchen, prep, work, and entertaining. There are some splendid simple recipes that alone make this book a worthwhile purchase. The chicken quesodillas as well as the basic soup are 2 of my favorites. This would make a great wedding gift or would be perfect for someone ...

Saving for Retirement without Living Like a Pauper or Winning the Lottery15 reviews
Gail MarksJarvis
FT Press, 2007
Clear, sensible, easy to act on
What I like best about this book is that it offers specific, detailed advice about how to divide up your retirement portfolio amongst different types of assets - and explains why you should divide it that way, and how to adjust the proportions over time. The author provides historical trends and an explanation of the global stock markets so that you can understand for yourself why she offers her ...

Diana Rolland
Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2005
I found it very useful!
I bought this book about six months ago and have absolutely written all over it! When I saw that the only review on it was rather negative in tone, I was inspired to present my own opinion. I am a working medical transcriptionist and I have used Ms. Rolland's techniques since day one and continue to add more shortcuts to my expander list every day. It has shaved so much time off my ...

Saving Paradise: How Christianity Traded Love of This World for Crucifixion and Empire
Rita Nakashima Brock, Rebecca Ann Parker
Beacon Press, 2008
When Rita Brock and Rebecca Parker began traveling the Mediterranean world in search of art depicting the dead, crucified Jesus, they discovered something that traditional histories of Christianity and Christian art had underplayed or sought to explain away: it took Jesus Christ a thousand years to die. During their first millennium, Christians filled their sanctuaries with images of Christ as a living presence in a vibrant world. He appears as ...

I absolutely love this book. I am half way through and I can't get enough of it! I would recommend this book to anyone. I am a fan of Julia Alvarez and have had the opportunity to hear her speak. When she spoke of this book and the research she did in order to write the book, I was intrigued and had to buy it. Wonderful book that intertwines two stories of strong and amazing women who are ...

Seed Sowing and Saving: Step-by-Step Techniques for Collecting and Growing More Than 100 Vegetables, Flowers, ...5 reviews
Carole B. Turner
Storey Publishing, LLC, 1998
Just what I needed
I bought this after seeing it as one of the few books offered by Vesseys Seeds (vesseys.com). (It was listed at[money] - lucky for me I often comparison shop.) Many propagation books contain information on seed starting, but because this one concentrates on seed propagation, it has more room to expand on the topic and gives more than books that have to save space to discuss other techniques like ...
