Leo Thorsness

Encounter Books, 2008

Riveting Story of Courage
Surving six years in hell is no small feat. Yet, Leo Thorsness is as humble as they come. The incredible story of his captivity in Viet Nam is riveting. It was jarring to the emotions when he spoke of the cruelty and suffering, yet gentle to the spirit as he shared his faith, his humor, and his compassion for the enemy. It is a must read for every American of any age. It builds determination ...

Dr. Ptrick Walsh's Guide to Surviving Prostate Cancer
This is the second of four valuable volumes I purchased, in trying to get a handle on my diagnosis of prostate cancer. This book, by one of the acknowledged leaders in prostate surgery, perhaps the "father of modern prostate cancer surgery," is packed full of facts and figures on all aspects of potential treatments yet encourages the patient to not limit himself to just it's reading in coming ...

On the Wings of a White Horse
This is a very good book even if disturbing because of the real life events the author shares. I encourage all to read it if interested in Cambodia and it's people. This book shows not only how difficult life was during the Khmer Rouge period but the problems that face so many refugees that arrive in the USA. Very powerful book.

Surviving the Death of a Sibling: Living Through Grief When an Adult Brother or Sister Dies

T.J. Wray

Three Rivers Press, 2003

Wonderful healing help.
I lost my brother, only 46, to alcoholism in February. We were best friends and each other's biggest supporter. People would only ask how my parents were doing; they never bothered to ask how my sister and I were coping. This book, written by a woman who lost her own brother at a young age, made me realize that we are a minority, but have the same, if not larger, need for compassion and ...

An important book for anyone serious about the reality of survival and violence.
As a lifetime student of the martial arts and combat systems, I was fortunate to have attended a one day training session on "Target Focus Training (TFT) with Tim Larkin and some of his instructors. Further, being a careet law enforcement officer and trainer I was familiar with criminals and violence. Though I still cannot accept all their theories of TRAINING (They do not believe in training ...

Andy Baker

Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc., 2005

Kentucky Gem
A wonderfully honest look at the many facets of life in an Appalachian home in the "good old days". At times funny, at times heart wrenching, this book gives the reader a true peek at Appalachian life's joys and hardships. Readers with Kentucky roots as well as those without will enjoy reading the author's memories of life, which is so different from how we now experience it. Pam Fraley

Empty Cradle, Broken Heart, Revised Edition: Surviving the Death of Your Baby

Deborah L. Davis

Fulcrum Publishing, 1996

The best loss book I read after the death of my son
I read so many books after my oldest son died, scouring libraries for the few they had and trying to decide between the myriad options on the internet, and I can honestly say that this was the most helpful one I read. It was very emotional and difficult to read at times and sometimes I had to put it down and come back to it later- sometimes after half an hour, other times after weeks, but I was ...

AMACOM, 2009

We need another copy!!
I'm writing this review without reading all of the book. I can't get it away from my wife. (She's the one fighting cancer) Every time I start this book she needs to reread some part of it. I've heard "I wish this had been available when I was first diagnosed." too many times to count. I think we're gonna have to spring for another copy if I'm ever gonna get this finished.

The Emotionally Destructive Relationship: Seeing It, Stopping It, Surviving It

Leslie Vernick

Harvest House Publishers, 2007

The Emotionally Destructive Relationship
This is, without a doubt, one of the VERY BEST, if not THE BEST "Helps" book I have ever read. Mrs. Vernick has captured the problem, the characteristics, and best of of, the real solution perfectly. It is as if she sees the very situation in which (one) is struggling with at that very moment. Her justification with Scripture is perfect and "right on target." I love her uses of Scripture to ...

Bryan L. Hutchinson

Infinity Publishing, 2008

Now I understand
This book was incredible. Bryan's story was almost identical to mine and he answered questions I've had about myself and my life that I've struggled with for years. He explained the why's of what somone with ADD does what they do and how they see, compensate and navigate through the world. This book was an extremely emotional read for me but left me with a very positive outlook and ideas on ...

Lawrence A. Kane

Surviving Armed Assaults is complete from start to finish. I can't think of anything that Mr. Kane has left out of this insightful book. This book covers the variety of weapons that one can expect to encounter on the street, how to avoid physical confrontations, the importance of awareness, and how to be prepared to meet a violent predator if one finds himself in that situation.

Bruce Holland Rogers

Invisible Cities Press Llc, 2002

Inspired to survive and thrive by a beginning writer
As a beginner who has been trying to stop procastinating, and start writing - I'd almost given up hope. After two years and having read at least a dozen how-to books on the writing craft, I gained a lot of knowledge on how to write. After reading Word Work I finally gained the knowledge that allowed me to write. In Word Work, Bruce Holland Rogers takes your fears and concerns about writing and ...

Stefan Bechtel

Citadel, 2006

The Beast That Was Camille
Hurricane Camille was a beast of mythic proportions and she is still one of those extraordinary events that are engrained in the memory of all Southerners who are old enough to remember her rampage. In this book Stefan Bechtel has given us a riveting account of that once in a thousand years storm and he has done so with the voice of a great storyteller so that instead of a dry historical account ...

Beyond Blue: Surviving Depression & Anxiety and Making the Most of Bad Genes

26 reviews
Therese Borchard

Center Street, 2010

Tragedy, Intensity and Dry Wit Somehow Fit Together
Personal accounts of mental illness have formed their own genre in recent years, and for many people there isn't much room left on the bookshelf. But "Beyond Blue" is different. Therese has sewn helpful and factual information seamlessly through the book, without being narrow or preaching. Her chatty, humorous, self-deprecating writing style makes this heavy topic easier to read and more ...

The Empty Room: Surviving the Loss of a Brother or Sister at Any Age

18 reviews
Elizabeth DeVita-Raeburn

Scribner, 2004

Mom of siblings
My daughters are the siblings who lost a brother. This book helped me to understand the variety of ways that losing a brother could impact their world. The best part of the book is that it empowered me to know that the "experts" (like school counselors) do not have much real data to support their advice. The best experts seem to be those who have been through it. Most of the stories of pain in ...

Rob Ballister

iUniverse, Inc., 2005

DAVE BARRY IS NO MATCH FOR BALLISTER
When I first saw the cover of Rob Ballister's book with the bed-ridden cancer patient, giant chipmunk, priest and big-busted women, I thought, "Oh, no, some existentialist garbage novel with cliched sick room jokes ending with his traditional, further cliched religious beliefs about his mortality, going into the light, meeting Jesus, and getting off on cancer drugs. Boy was I wrong. Opening ...

Stan Wenck, Connie J. Hansen

Adams Media, 2009

EXCELLENT ADVICE FOR MODERN FAMILIES
Also very helpful for the Stepfather. Don't let the title exclude you Stepdads who want to establish and improve your relationships with her kids. More than a mere "how-to" or "for dummies" type book. This is one that feels as if you are getting personal advice from a professional who is your friend. Highly recommended.
