The Inextinguishable Symphony: A True Story of Music and Love in Nazi Germany 42 reviews
Martin Goldsmith
Wiley, 2001
A son's voyage of discovery of his parents' nightmarish past
What do we really know about our parents' life before we were born? That depends largely, I guess, on how much of an interest we show - and on how much they are willing to reveal. Because in the life of every person there are instances and times they rather wish to forget, and not revive time and again by discussion, even if only among their nearest and dearest. Such, in the lives of author ...

Self Talk, Soul Talk: What to Say When You Talk to Yourself28 reviews
Jennifer Rothschild
Harvest House Publishers, 2007
Soul Talk is good for the Soul
This book is great and perfect for someone like me who gets bogged down in the negative self talk. Jennifer Rothschild does a great job of identifying the problems and offering scriptural solutions. Great book that speaks to my soul and is a perfect small group study!

Boundaries with Kids: When to Say Yes, How to Say No34 reviews
Henry Cloud, John Townsend
Zondervan Publishing Company, 2003
Great baby shower gift!
I wish someone had loved me enough to give this to me at my baby shower. This is a great book and wonderfully easy to read. OK maybe the baby shower is a bit early, but I would definitely recommend it for parents of toddlers and older. I ordered a copy for my best friend. I had always heard about respecting your kids so they'll respect you, but never the real "how to's". This book gives what ...

Anthony DeStefano

very inspiring
What an inspiring book. Anthony made scripture come alive in our every day lives. I appreciate the research he put into it. He gave such clear examples of faith, not only in his own life but in the lives of people, such as Theodore Roosevelt.I'm sure this book will deepen the faith of anyone who reads it.

the best of its genre
The title of the book really says it all. God created us and gave us specific instructions on what to eat. We would be wise to follow them. I've given copies of this book to my whole family.

Say Goodnight, Gracie101 reviews
Julie Reece Deaver
Harpercollins Childrens Books, 1988
best book
I would give this book five stars. It is one of the best books I've ever read and I could not put it down. The story was captivating and it made you feel like you were another character watching this story unfold. You are so in touch with the characters emotions that certian points in the book don't really hit you until you see how she is hit by it. Over all this is my favorite book and I ...

Evolution: What the Fossils Say and Why It Matters 33 reviews
Donald R. Prothero
Columbia University Press, 2007
Will this book prove effective?
A society driving an eminent scientist to produce a book such as this is in need of some serious reflective thinking. Prothero's account is not the first such investigation of the clash of science and superstition, but it ranks as one of the most thorough and revealing. Although this is a work of science, it is also a campaign manifesto. The author is eager to expose the fallacies of ...

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (Book 1)5423 reviews
J.K. Rowling
Scholastic Paperbacks, 1999
Impossible to not enjoy.
I went into this novel with some apprehension considering its massive hype. However, I was pleasantly surprised at how enjoyable it truly was. Sure, there are plenty of people that bash it, and while I will agree that it is not the most "important" novel to come out of the last twenty years, it is truly good fun. I am currently re-reading all of the Harry Potter novels because I never did get ...

How Do Dinosaurs Say Good Night Doll: 8" Long122 reviews
Jane Yolen
MerryMakers, 2003
A book for any little dinosaur fan
My three year old has been into dinosaurs for a year and is still going strong. He received this for his third birthday and it quickly became his favorite bedtime story. We always end with a kiss and he roars a goodnight. Lol.
I like how the dinosaurs are named in the pictures because it not only teaches bedtime manners, but also dinosaur identification. Believe it or not, the boy can name ...

Brenda J. Ponichtera
Scaledown Publishing, 1995
My favorite cookbook
This is the cookbook I depend on. I am a Lifetime member of Weight Watchers, and I used this book (and the other Quick and Healthy) when I was losing weight, and still use it all the time now that I am maintaining. There is enough nutritional information to calculate points. The ingredients are all readily available in our small town. You don't spend all afternoon in the kitchen. Everybody likes ...

Diet Eman
Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 1999
A Christian at War
I have read more than 75 books of this genre depicting this period of history. "What would I have done under the same circumstances?" That is the question I am always asking of myself whilst reading these stories. This is the story of a group of people with the courage of their convictions...Diet's story is inspiring and touching. It illustrates perfectly that the power of prayer is undeniable ...

Betsy Brown Braun
Collins, 1975
Thank goodness!
Thank goodness! This is NOT another "Raise-Your-Child-According-To-Me" book. Betsy assumes you already know a little something about parenting and can handle most day-to-day situations. But she also knows that we're all going to get stuck occasionally wondering about the right thing to say. THIS is when you pick up her book and look for help -- and you WILL find it. It's brilliant! Think of ...

Chantel Hobbs
WaterBrook Press, 2007
Must read if you are serious about losing weight!
This was a very good book. Chantel does a great job getting the message across in a very simple yet powerful way. I love the fact that she is not another "guru" out there pretending that if you just had more will power you could lose the weight. She is a real person with very real struggles that all of us can relate to. She really helps you "get it". You can finally make the necessary changes to ...
