Taking Charge of Your Fertility, 10th Anniversary Edition: The Definitive Guide to Natural Birth Control, ...1195 reviews
Toni Weschler

Harper Paperbacks, 2006

Absolutely worked for us, can't recommend enough!
I can't recommend this book enough, whether you are trying to conceive or avoid pregnancy. I wish every girl was taught this information growing up. As a woman, you should know what's going on with your body, including what's normal and what's not! This book really does put you in charge. I read the book in May 2009 and began charting that month, in the hopes of conceiving our first. We ... 		  
  







  
  
Left To Tell: Discovering God Amidst the Rwandan Holocaust444 reviews
Immaculée Ilibagiza

Hay House, 2006

Draws you in from the start!
The book Left to Tell: Discovering God Amidst the Rwandan Holocaust is a difficult read. I did enjoy learning about everything Immaculee had to live through, but if you ever choose to read this book, make sure to have a box of Kleenex on hand. From the beginning all the way to the end you cannot help but root for the best for Immaculee. She draws you in and makes you feel as though you are ...

Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul: 101 Stories of Life, Love and Learning476 reviews
Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen, ...

Demco Media, 1999

Good Insight
I am not a teen anymore, but a decade ago, I was. I never went to a public school, or delt with teenage dating, drugs, suicide, sneaking around, or all of that drama. I purchased this for a special teen in my life who has had to go to public school and face all of that. I read it before I gave it to her, and I think I learned some things that enter into the "average teen's" life. I hope she ... 		  
  







  
  
Quiet Strength: The Principles, Practices, & Priorities of a Winning Life230 reviews
Tony Dungy, Nathan Whitaker

Tyndale, 2007

Dungy 1
It reads like a calm, confident conversation with Coach Dungy. I wish that all young men could be tutored by people like this man. 		  
  







  
  
Why Does He Do That?: Inside the Minds of Angry and Controlling Men254 reviews
Lundy Bancroft

Berkley Trade, 2003

A must-read
I am just coming out of an abusive relationship. When I started reading this book, I found myself thinking, "Oh my gosh! This is my life!" This book helped me so much in understanding that: "yes, I was in an abusive relationship" and that "yes, I was right to get out." It's really hard to leave someone who is abusive. If your partner was a jerk all the time, then it would be easy, but that's not ... 		  
  







  
  
Tear Soup191 reviews
Pat Schweibert, Chuck DeKlyen, ...

Grief Watch, 2005

Best book for those who are grieving the loss of a loved one
December 8, My daughter Janna was killed in Omaha by a snow plow in her own apartment parking lot. This story went coast to coast on TV. The story you did not see was the devastating impact this had on her mother and I. Someone gave us the book "Tear Soup".. I could not believe how the words in this book were the same feelings we were experiencing! I purchased 3 more books for my other adult kids ... 		  
  







  
  
Dealing With Dragons (Turtleback School & Library Binding Edition)306 reviews
Patricia C. Wrede

Turtleback, 2002

Adorable and Witty!!
What a joy to read this novel! I laughed from the opening pages! Wrede has an adorable wit that seasons every page, laughing in the face of traditional fairy tales. Tradition and what's "supposed" to be done in the fairy kingdom is just not what our main character Cimorene wants to do. What starts out as a quest to be happy turns into a bit of a mystery for her and her dragon to solve and becomes ...

Final Gifts: Understanding and Helping the Dying202 reviews
Patricia Kelley, Maggie Callaghan

Hodder & Stoughton Religious, 1994

can't recommend it highly enough! full of hope and love!
I second what others have expressed so well, in our own fear of death, we abandon those who, we know are dying; thereby denying ourselves and them, the special final gifts awaiting us all; Without bringing religious beliefs into this revise; I will say that being with a person who, is dying is a time filled with such love, that, allowing that person to go, an important act on our part ... 		  
  







  
  
Healing After Loss: Daily Meditations For Working Through Grief165 reviews
Martha W. Hickman

Harper Paperbacks, 1999

Healing After Loss
In my capacity as a bereavement facilitator, I have given this book to each person attending the group. It is comprised of reflections on loss and grief by people who have suffered their own loss. Many of the bereaved use it to help them get through each day and others use it in prayer and meditation. They all enthusiastically endorse this book as being helpful and supportive and as mirroring ... 		  
  







  
  
The Go-Giver: A Little Story About a Powerful Business Idea151 reviews
Bob Burg, John David Mann

Portfolio Hardcover, 2007

Everyone should read this book
A must read and attempt to put into practice, even for the non-business owner people, to the best of our abilities. If everyone adopted this concept we'd all live in a better place, be better people, and live the way I think God intended us to live. 		  
  







  
  
The Lorax (Turtleback School & Library Binding Edition)150 reviews
Dr. Seuss

Turtleback, 1971

A powerful story about competing interests, for children and adults...
In 1981's, a forestry-dependent community in north-coastal California (Laytonville) proposed removing The Lorax from the required reading list for second graders. One comment was, "To teach our children that harvesting redwood trees is bad is not the education we need." The numerous lawsuits and objections regarding sustainable forestry practices were a bleeding wound to these communities. ...

Magificent - the Greatest Devotional Ever Written
This is simply the greatest Devotional ever written; this update makes it even more readable than ever. I carry mine with me everywhere I go and have been reading it for years. I bought this little vest pocket edition as a gift for someone else in the hopes that it would help them on their daily journey with God as it has helped me. It is amazing that Oswald Chambers writings are so timelessly ... 		  
  







  
  
The Kissing Hand141 reviews
Audrey Penn

Child & Family Press, 1993

Great children story
I recently purchased this book for my grandson on the recommendation of a friend. I was not familiar with it but it is a beautifully written and illustrated story that teaches a lesson for the young or old. As an elementary teacher for over 30 years this is one of the best stories I have ever come across. I highly recommend this book for any age.

An inspirational book
Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul ll is a great book written by teenagers and some adults about life. It teaches us about life and how to deal with it. It shows us that no matter where you came form, what you look like, or how you act, almost all teenagers are the same. This book is an inspiration to everyone. This book influences me because it inspires me to become a better person. ... 		  
  







  
  
Aspire: Discovering Your Purpose Through the Power of Words169 reviews
Kevin Hall

William Morrow, 2010

Aspire***
I recently heard Kevin Hall speak. He spoke about finding your passion in life and doing what you love. I started on a journey to find what I loved and do that. I found that what I want to do is go to school and become a substance abuse counselor. I am a recovering addict and didn't have the encouragement to do what I needed to do. I am a single mom of 21 and am starting my life out on a whole ... 		  
  







  
  
How to Survive the Loss of a Love174 reviews
Peter McWilliams, Harold H. Bloomfield, ...

Prelude Press, 1993

Excellent book on successfully dealing with loss!
This book was initially given to me when I was going through an unexpected divorce. It was a quick read - but then I found myself referring to it frequently as I made my recovery journey over the next couple of years. I found some sections and pages "spoke" to me and my situation more closely than others, and at different times in the healing process. As time passed, I referred to these less ... 		  
  







  
  
Think and Grow Rich!: The Original Version, Restored and Revised146 reviews
Napoleon Hill

Aventine Press, 2004

A must have- read it at least once a year
I've read so many business and success related books and this is by far the staple of my collection. The concepts in this book lay the foundation for growth and development. It seems kind of pointless to try to become an expert in any one field without first understanding and practicing these basic principles. Despite it's age, it is timeless and relevant. An added bonus is that it's remarkably ...

Judith Orloff

Random House Large Print, 2004

The Peace of Positive Energy
Thank you for Positive Energy! Have you ever attended a church sermon and felt like you were supposed to be in the house of the Lord that day? Did you ever feel that a certain sermon was written especially for you? Well, that is the feeling that engulfed me while reading Positive Energy. I have gained a great deal of knowledge from this book and I'm reading it a second time!
