Takaguchi Satosumi

Blu, 2007

Another Great Installment!
I'm totally in love with this series. There's such an intricate dance going on between all the characters and it's absolutely fascinating to watch. It's a pure delight trying to decipher their motivations and how their actions will affect each other. The main character, Shino, is such a sweet guy. My heart goes out to him as he tries to become a father to the teenage son he's just met while ...

NO MATTER HOW LOUD I SHOUT : A Year in the Life of Juvenile Court

Edward Humes

Simon & Schuster, 1997

Indepth, insightful story by a gifted author
No Matter How Loud I Shout reads like a novel. It is an incredibly well written and compassionate view of the life of some of the country's forgotten "children". I really enjoyed it as well as "Baby ER" also by Mr. Humes.

Mountain Top Publishing, 1999

Makes me wanna shout!
I am glad to have found the book by Ms.Kelly in my favorite bookstore. I enjoyed the selections but what I most like is the favt that she kept mentioning that God was the power of this universe ,and that no matter what, I was still his child whether I make mistakes or not. It is a pocket book that should fit in your purse whenever you need it cause we all know that we have bad days and all. ...

Kim L. Siegelson, JATS

Jump At The Sun, 2003

The kids in my class loved this book!
Siegelson's warm, lyrical, and effectively repetitious story about an African American autumnal celebration smoothly transitions from excited anticipation to consternation to elation. The ending is gratifying in a manner that celebrates the sharing of familial and communal relationships that span generations. Backed by Cohen's bright and moving visuals, this tale is great to read to small ...

Shout Out Loud! Vol. 2

4 reviews

Blu, 2006

A wonderful series!
This series just keeps getting better and yes it is developing into a Yaoi, a soft core one at this point. Shino, the 33 year old father with the face and demeanour closer to his 17 year old son, is an endearing character. In this volume he is being hit on by his 2 gay co-workers, the older and cool Tenryu and the younger agressive Mizusawa. And lurking behind the scene with a definite interest ...

Zen Speaks: Shouts of Nothingness

Tsai Chih Chung

Anchor, 1994

Delightful!
Hard to imagine that a cartoon could unfold the depths of Zen. Perhaps it is the fact the cartoons are brief yet encapsulate so much. Personally, I find it to be in the expressions of the characters in the drawings that tell the story. I really feel the smiles throughout the book and can almost see them winking along with that smile. Never straying from the seriousness of Zen, this little ...

Roxane Orgill

Simon Pulse, 2007

You won't want to put it down ...
Author Roxane Orgill picked a single woman to epitomize each decade of the 20th century, profiling women of different genres, each of whom has an interesting story and voice. Shout, Sister, Shout! is a great introduction to the performers and leaves one wanting to read more about each one of them, while artfully giving a sense of the developments of the 20th century. I read this fascinating, ...

Rosemary Martin

Signet, 2006

Soooooo groovy and mod man!
Little tid bits of history and flashback lace this very cute mystery to the end. This newest book is better than the first even and will not disappoint the reader who buys it. I loved BeBe and her zany Roomie Darlene's antics. Of course BeBe only has eyes for her boss and he is trying his darndest not to fall head over heels for her. This ending took me totally by surprise. A cool whodonit to the ...

Mary Jane Gray Hale, Charles Martel, Jr. Hale

1st Books Library, 1999

A Parent of an Apraxic Child
In reading this book it brought tears to my eyes many times. My son is verbally apraxic. I can share the Hale's excitement in knowing for the first time what their son is thinking and what he wants to say. Charles is truly an inspiration. His parents Mary Jane and Martel are true saints. In a world where people want easy solutions, they never gave up on Charles. They never stopped searching for ...

Shout, Sister, Shout!: The Untold Story of Rock-and-Roll Trailblazer Sister Rosetta Tharpe

3 reviews
Gayle F. Wald

Beacon Press, 2007

Rosetta credited
As I have been looking forward to someone writting a book about Sister Rosetta Tharpe I was excited that one was on the market. I thoroughly enjoyed the book. It was sensitively written and with a lot of information about this neglected gospel star who pioneered so many trends in music and what she did on stage. A lot of what she accomplished she has not been given due credit by ...

Positive MEinforcement: Shout 'Me First!' and Make Every Day All About YOU!

Matt Peiken

Metaphor Media. LLC, 2006

Hey, it's working: I'm first!
This book is a marvel. Before I met Dr.* Matt Peiken (*not a doctor) in the pages of "Positive MEinforcement," I would never have had the nerve to write a review that might be read by tens of thousands (OK, tens) of people. Now I not only feel entitled to write such a review: I demand to be the first! Dr.* Matt may not be a doctor, but he is a skilled satirist who skewers every self-help guru out ...

Philip Norman

Penguin, 1993

An excellent Beatles biography
This is book is an amazing trip through the history of the group that took the world by assault and changed the rock and pop music forever. From their childhood to the break down of the group in 1970. From the Hamburg days to the Sgt. Pepper's psychadelic love summer. SIMPLY GREAT!

Sisters Supporting Sisters/Just Gotta Shout, 1998

INTIMATELY REVEALING AND PROVOCATIVE
On Edge is a journey through the life a woman who is faced with the types of challenges that most women shudder to think of. A homosexual husband, a child with a possible lifetime handicap, a job that she's dreamed of but doesn't fulfill her the way she thought it would either. Meme Kelly walks her readers through this story with poignant clarity and sensitivity; and in the end she's not ...

The Heart's Shout: Perfect and Urgent Wisdom from the Living
Of all the reading I have done in the 17 years of my adult life, nothing has moved me, enlightened me, and freed me more than the Wisdom Teachings of Avatar Adi Da. In this book He Speaks directly to all those who are determined to Realize the Truth; discussing such topics as "The Cultic Tendency in Religion" as it reflects our individual tendencies to be "Narcissitic" and "separative"; "The ...

Faber & Faber, 1995

Ms Macdonald gives Universal life to the Scottish woman
I found this book years ago in London and every person whose hands I have placed it in has returned it to me with a mischevious light in their eyes. Ms Macdonald is truly one of the greatest contemporary playwrights, both for women and for Scotland. Each of these four very different scripts provides a rich dialect and dialogue, embracing Scottish culture and revealing it in its naked honesty. ...

The Shout: Selected Poems

Simon Armitage

Harcourt, 2005

Rock'n'Roll mixed with haunting lyricism
The Shout is a compilation of poems from past works by Armitage. The very readable poems in the book, both traditional and experimental, encompass a world of subject matter. I don't usually read much poetry, preferring fiction, but after stumbling on this collection I might start. The poems freshly explore both the banal and the transcendent with wry humor, authenticity, lyricism and ...

Dr. Carlyle Fielding Stewart, III, offers both a didactic lesson on the nature of Black preaching (the first four chapters) and an illustrative smorgasbord of delightful sermonic samples of Black preaching (the final fourteen chapters). For non-Blacks unfamiliar with the nature of Black preaching, the first four chapters succinctly outline and explain the "four corners of the Black preaching ...

From Heaven With A Shout!

Ben Abraham

Xulon Press, 2004

A VERY IMPORTANT BOOK ON THE RAPTURE
This is a very honest treatment of the subject of the RAPTURE. It does not gloss over the mistakes of the christian past or over difficult issues. In its non-defensive approach, one gets the inpression that truth will not be sacrificed on the altar of expediency. I have read quite a bit on this subject and have listened to varied positions. This book was a joy to read. As more people read it, it ...

Elspeth Murphy

Chariot Family Pub, 1981

In this book children learn the joy of praising God.
This is a beautiful book, written using verses from the psalms on praise in a language children can understand. The child in the story has just learned the joy of praising God and teaches your children this joy by example in her talk with God. Even though this book is written for a little bit older children, my two year old loves it and asks us to read it daily. It should go back in print. ...
