Shattered Dreams: God's Unexpected Pathway to Joy

33 reviews
Larry Crabb

WaterBrook Press, 2001

For all who hunger and thirst...
It's interesting reading through the comments posted on Amazon books. Call me a pessimist, but I find I often pull up the low stars reviews first. I want to see what made angry or disappointed folks bother to post at all. Are they on a mission to save others from wasting their time? Are they trying to correct the author's theology? Or, are they merely wanting to contribute another perspective to ...

Shattered Sword: The Untold Story of the Battle of Midway

Jonathan Parshall, Anthony Tully

Potomac Books Inc., 2007

A History Book That Delivers What The Movie Couldn't
I was rather surprised that the authors make no mention of the actual prime source for the Battle of Midway that most Americans carry around in their heads: the 1976 film, "Midway." With familiar names like Henry Fonda, Glenn Ford, Robert Mitchum, Hal Holbrook and Charlton Heston, the film reinforces the popular wisdom that an under gunned American Naval task force, on June 5, 1942, surprised the ...

Those Who Don't Remember The Past.....
David Andelman has written a very compelling historical account that vividly illustrates the eternal principle that those who don't remember the past are condemned to repeat it. Individuals & nations can only overlook it at their own peril, as his book so powerfully illustrates. I sometimes coach executives on how to become global managers. It often needs to start with an undistorted ...

Shattered Dreams: My Life as a Polygamist's Wife

Irene Spencer

Center Street, 2007

Totally engaging from beginning to end
This book is not necessarily one you would want to read before going to sleep for a couple of reasons: 1) it is so engaging it is hard to put it down, and 2) it makes you feel angry with the way the author was treated. The author lived in deep proverty. She was torn because of her devotion to her husband and religion, yet experienced extreme angony because of this devotion.

Hard to Put Down
This book is amazing. It is both tragic and funny. The stories are non stop and really show how messed up ones life can get when hooked on junk. I highly recommend it.

Three Complete Novels - Dean R. Koontz - A New Collection (Shattered/Whispers/Watchers)

16 reviews
Dean Koontz

Wings, 1992

A good place to start
Watchers and Whispers are two of Dean Koontz's best. Shattered isn't quite as good, but it's still a good read that will only take you a day or two to finish. First of all, Watchers is a MUST read. I was skeptical that it could be *THAT* good, but it was. It's brilliant, unforgettable, and at times, a tear jerker. It's about a lonely, depressed man named Travis and a lonely, "homely" ...

Shattered Vows: Hope and Healing for Women Who Have Been Sexually Betrayed

3 reviews
Debra Laaser

Zondervan, 2008

No one Likes to Talk about Sexual Betrayal...when it Happens to Them
No one likes to talk about sexual betrayal. Let me rephrase that. No one likes to talk about sexual betrayal when it happens to him or her. Not long ago, Debra Laaser experienced a wife's worst nightmare. And today, she is ready to tell her story. And a well-told story it is, written with clarity and eloquence surprising for a first time solo-author. But this work is neither a biography, nor ...

The Shattered Lantern, 2004 Edition: Rediscovering a Felt Presence of God

4 reviews
Ronald Rolheiser

Crossroad General Interest, 2004

Spiritual reading at its best
In this first book by Father Rolheiser he writes a clear and concise guide for those of us walking the contemporary and contemplative path. He contends that "today we, the children of Western culture, post-modern, adult children of the enlightenment, struggle with practical atheism. Our consciousness is clouded with narcissism, pragmatism, and unbridled restlessness so much so, that we are ...

Mending a Shattered Heart

Stephanie Carnes, Robert Weiss, ...

Gentle Path Press, 2008

A great book for sexually addictive couples!
When a couple enters therapy and one partner exhibits sexually addictive behaviors, the non-addicted partner (co-addict) often asks me to "Fix my partner!" With all couples, however, I emphasize shared responsibility. When one partner has an addiction, they are an addicted couple. When the woman is pregnant, they are pregnant. When one has an affair, both share the burden of how to resolve ...

Dream Lovers: The Magnificent Shattered Lives of Bobby Darin and Sandra Dee - by Their Son Dodd Darin

Dodd Darin

Grand Central Publishing, 1994

Love &Sadness all in one
It must be so hard for some of the offspring of Stars to front their demons. I do believe these two stars loved greatly but coming from different backgrounds was always going to be difficult.Their working days were completely opposite which had to cause friction. However I have passed this book around for others to enjoy. Unfortunately Sandra's addiction to alcohol would have been difficult for ...

Harold Schechter

Pocket Star, 2004

Definitely 5 Stars.
This is a great book! I read it in two days. Very hard to put down. The writing is terrific. It reads like the best horror mystery. And the subject is interesting. It's at least as good as Thomas Harris' RED DRAGON, and much better than the other Hannibal books. This is the sort of book you wanna take with you on a business trip, or vacation, or to your in-laws house. The other reviews already ...

Paul Langan

Townsend Press, 2006

Excellent!!! Excellent!!!!
We are so excited to have been introduced to the Bluford Series. It is a wonderful series of books about teens in a predominately black school. The books are really short and can be read in three or four days or even sooner. Shattered is about a girl named Darcy Wills. She dates this guy named Hakeem who has a stuttering problem. Hakeem left Bluford to move to Detroit for a short while and ...

Shattered Air: A True Account of Catastrophe and Courage on Yosemite's Half Dome

Bob Madgic

Burford Books, 2007

Naiveté vs. Nature
What makes a good story? Setting for one thing - and what could more majestic than the Half-Dome gem set into the Yosemite grandeur. Next come the characters - with their perfections and pimples. Then we want to see their development, if any, and if none, why not. Often when we anticipate how these players will respond to extreme circumstance, we are surprised, disappointed, cheerful, and ...

The Shattered Gates of Slaughtergarde (Dungeons & Dragons d20 3.5 Fantasy Roleplaying Adventure)

David Noonan

Wizards of the Coast, 2006

Great Module
This adventure sets a campaign background, and sets an excellent adventure pace for 3 dungeons, as well as dropping great hints for the DM to set up side adventures during and after the dungeons. I ran this adventure for a group of 5 players, and it was excellent. The encounter format is typically 2 pages, with room and encounter description going together, along with monster tactics, in ...

It's Not About the Truth: The Untold Story of the Duke Lacrosse Case and the Lives It Shattered

36 reviews
Don Yaeger, Mike Pressler

Threshold Editions, 2007

OUTSTANDING!!!!!!
Exceedingly well written book. I have not stopped talking about it. This is not just a simple story of a high profile case. It focuses on how innocent people were directly affected in their every day lives by scandalous lies. The media never revealed this side of the story. It's unimaginable how this horrific mess could've happened. You can't stop but think what you would do had this happened to ...

Shattered

Dean Koontz

Berkley, 1986

Intense but short
The idea of the INNOCENCE that was shattered in this story is very compelling. The thrill of the chase keeps the reader glued to this story. What causes disappointment is the lack of closure as one reviewer has already stated. What further limits enjoyment is a very simple thing. The fast pace that causes the story to burn itself out. It's a raging inferno of emotions but the story quickly ...

Shattered Hope

Piero Gleijeses

Princeton University Press, 1992

a lucid account of this tragic history
In "Shattered Hope" author Piero Gleijeses exposes the ruthlessness and tyrrany of US imperial policy in Guatemala. "Shattered Hope" relates how, in 1944, a revolution there overthrew a vicious, US-backed tyrant, leading to the establishment of Jacobo Arbenz's democratic government modeled after Roosevelt's New Deal. From 1944 to 1954, successful independent economic development which ...

Shattered Consensus: The True State of Global Warming

Patrick J. Michaels

Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, Inc., 2005

"Denier"?
A comment on the reviewers here. When I see the word "denier" used as in "Global Warming Denier" it tells me everything I need to know about the person. They are ignorant of scientific method and the difference between hypothosis, theory and fact. And that is a shame, because people like them have been manipulated in the name of one "Great Cause" or another for all of history. (The Crusades, ...
