What to Say When you Talk To Yourself 93 reviews
Shad Helmstetter
Pocket, 1990
The last self-help book you need
I have read a lot of self-help books ever since I was diagnosed with depression. I went on medication, and I tried out different types of therapy. They all helped somewhat, but not enough to get over the hopeless hill of depression. A friend of mine recommended this book, and as a self-help junkie, I had to check it out since it had all these 5-star reviews. I figured, what the heck, why not?

When the Body Says No: Understanding the Stress-Disease Connection 9 reviews
Gabor Mate
Wiley, 2003
It's not a self-help book
I agree with the many positive comments made by other reviewers. This is not a self-help book, it's a discussion of the ramifications of stress (as a physiological phenomenon with distinct patterns within the body) for the lay person. The author discusses his experiences and observations with his patients as well offering a highly readable survey of the current research in psychoneuroimmunology.

How to Talk to Anyone: 92 Little Tricks for Big Success in Relationships100 reviews
Leil Lowndes
McGraw-Hill, 2003
An Excellent Read
Have you ever heard this conversation after Thanksgiving?
BOB: Hey, Sue. How was your Thanksgiving?
SUE: It was good. How was yours?
BOB: Good.
SUE: Well, that's great...[trailing off into awkward silence].
I'm sure that everyone has noticed that you don't just hear similar conversations right after a holiday--you hear the EXACT same conversation verbatim--word for word. I got so tired ...

Before You Say "I Do": A Marriage Preparation Manual for Couples29 reviews
H. Norman Wright, Wes Roberts
Harvest House Publishers, 1997
Highly Recommended!
Excellent book! It covers quite a bit and gets the couple to talk about many things, some of which they may not think to discuss before marriage. It helps give both people a good idea at what the other expects and wants in a marriage, and helps both people see where the other is coming from and more about the other person's background, family history, etc. It helps them see what makes that person ...

How Do Dinosaurs Say I Love You?13 reviews
Jane Yolen
The Blue Sky Press, 2009
Little ones "read" this story back to me
Purchased as a gift for a 3 year old, who asks that it be read over and over. Illustrations are adorable and very colorful, and most children will identify with the dinosaurs behavior! Easy, rhyming story is quickly remembered, and my grandchildren want to "read" it back. Both 3 year old boy and 4 year old girl said they love the dinosaur book!

"They Say / I Say": The Moves That Matter in Academic Writing (Second Edition)44 reviews
Gerald Graff, Cathy Birkenstein
W. W. Norton & Company, 2009
They Say/I Say
I received the book very quickly. From what the seller described the condition, I expected it to be in worse shape than what it was. They had something like Fair condition, but to me, it was in great condition. Even though the book was used, there was no worn pages, and absolutely no writing or markings in the book. I would recommend this seller to others.
Thanks!

Boy Meets Girl: Say Hello to Courtship181 reviews
Joshua Harris
Multnomah Books, 2005
Somethings never change...
My children, who are all in their 20's, have been raving about Josh Harris' books for years having read them as they came out. For the first time, I picked up his first two books to read: "I Kissed Dating Goodbye" and "Boy Meets Girl" after some questions came up in a singles ministry my wife and I are involved in.
To my surprise and joy, I found that Josh had arrived at the same conclusions ...

Gerald Graff, Cathy Birkenstein
W. W. Norton & Company, 2007
Great Resource
I am in the process of writing my dissertation and this book has been a great help in improving both the flow of my argument and the style of my writing. Simple measures to avoid using redundant phrases such as, "According to___________" which get boring after awhile. I highly reccomend it to writers at all levels.

Boundaries with Teens: When to Say Yes, How to Say No16 reviews
John Townsend
Zondervan, 2006
Bounderies for Teens
This is the most insighful book I've read yet on raising a teen. I found myself encouraged and underlining passages on almost every page. Most of this review is simply excerpts of what I have found the most informative. Freedom for teens is earned by demonstrating responsibility and parents need to find the right balance between being too controlling and when they are being healthy and ...

Words that work it's not what you say it's what people hear
My husband and I love this book. We sorta have an infatuation with words and how people misuse them. Just seems to catch our ear. This book is enjoyable for anyone to read. Rita Cornelius
