An Extraordinary Witness
When Catholics realize that since 1980 the preacher to the papal household, so far, of two great popes has been a Catholic charismatic, they must take a second look at the Charismatic Renewal which has for too long been viewed by most Catholics as something odd that the Church merely tolerates out of kindness. What Fr. Canatalamessa says in this book is that the Charismatic Renewal is for every ...

Life Changing
When I got the 1st book of the Payton Skky Series(was a gift!) I didn't read it right away, but when I did I was truly blessed and had to read them all! A lot of the choices Payton made were poor ones that could have easily been stopped if she used her head,for instance,telling Tad the truth about her date with Dakari to the prom. Tad truly had to have been sent from God because everytime she ...

Up to and including the last two which led her to write this book. Donna wrote an article for the "Hartford Courant" which they featured as the cover story in their "Northeast Magazine." This book is the result of that article. This woman's ...

Does not read like a self-help book
My family has a long history of addiction and I've been exposed to a lifetime of books, programs, literature and advice on the topic. Cool, Hip and Sober is the ONLY "Self-Help" book I have ever read,(on any topic) that I didn't have to make myself read. Before any form of knowledge or experience can be helpful, it must be transmitted. Bill Manville's, Cool, Hip and Sober flows into the reader's ...

"A Great Cultural Book on Great I-Tal Food"
I had the pleasure of meeting and dining in the home of Yvonne Mc Calla Sobers of Kingston, Jamaica in July 1997. It was indeed memorable, to sit and rest after the long drive from the northcoast, in the hot midday, and enjoy the quiet breezy veranda of the Lingunea Mansion gifted to her by her childhood friend, Prime Minister Hon. Michael Manley, Chatting in depth about Jamaica, Food and Life, ...

Harvard Common Press

A Tremendous Service
Liz Scott has done a tremendous service to those recovering from substance abuse and others who choose to cook without alcohol Cookbooks and magazines typically give scant attention, if any, to the needs of those who forgo alcohol in cooking. Stock or water is often recommended as a substitute, despite lacking whatever flavor the wine, beer, or sherry called for in the recipe would contribute, ...

Hey! I'm the Author!
I never reveal exactly which 12 Step Recovery fellowship I frequent--that would be oh-so-against the Traditions. Rest assured, I was qualified to write this book when I did. Still am. I'm a big fan of Twelve Step Recovery and don't bother debating the scientific validity of claims that it works. It works for those who work it. It seems to work even for those who don't. Finding the extant ...

When "dazed and confused" stops being fun
This book provides an insider's look of how it feels to be continually high, strung out, or drunk, or thinking about same. The description of AA culture and meetings is alone worth the purchase price. Anyone involved with addiction recovery would find this book interesting.
Sober but stuck

Like "Big Book II" for people with several years' sobriety
If you are "sober but stuck," then this book really may be for you. I know when I was sober nine years, I felt like I was slogging through mud; I wasn't happy and I felt somewhat hopeless to expect things to improve. I mentioned this feeling and somebody recommended that I read this book. I took their advice (uncharacteristically for me at the time) and got it, and I am very glad I did. Reading ...

A Sober Desire For History: William Gilmore Simms As Historian

Sean R. Busick
University of South Carolina Press
, 2005
Another Facet of a Genius
Busick's careful study shows yet another facet of the literary genius Simms was. Busick's work is additional proof of the depth of that genius. No other American literary figure of his day had such depth and breadth of achievement. It is particularly encouraging to see young scholars make such explorations into the antebellum intellectual climate of the South.

"An Existential Approach to Sober Living" -Excellent Polemic
. Tom Blaise Shepherd's approach to alcohol/chemical dependency is based on the theory that society's governmental, social, and economic institutions (including the alcoholic beverage industry) determine what is "normal" behavior and what is "pathological" behavior in order to justify their exploitation or manipulation of people. Shepherd also observes that the economic nature of professional ...

A must read for all African-American Women beginning anew.
In May, 1989, my sister met this woman, Chaney Allen, and told her that her sister, me, was in a treatment center hoping to recover from the disease of addiction. Ms. Allen autographed a copy of her book, "I'm Black & I'm Sober" and my sister mailed it to me. I read it and marvelled at the the content thereof. I had never read anything so personal and honest. It indeed gave me the ...
