Elder Rage, or Take My Father... Please!: How to Survive Caring for Aging Parents 275 reviews
Jacqueline Marcell
Impressive Press, 2001
Thank you for a WONDERFUL book. Both entertaining AND full of valuable information.
I wish to extend a huge thank you to Jacqueline for writing this book! My mother-in-law had been diagnosed with dementia and had progressed to point where we felt it was no longer safe to allow her to continue to live alone. Our problem was that she was fighting us "tooth and nail" at every turn. She did not realize the scope of her problem. She felt she merely could not remember things once ...

Homeschooling: Take A Deep Breath - You Can Do This!12 reviews
Terrie Lynn Bittner
Mapletree Publishing Company, 2004
A very substantive book!
I bought this book a couple of months ago because I needed a pep-talk and figured this was a fluffy rah-rah type book that would give me one.
Well, the author IS very warm and authoritative, and the book DID give me the pep-talk I needed, but it was also full of very useful information -- not fluff at all!! I found the chapters on organization, record keeping, homeschooling with baby, the ...

It Takes More Than Love: A Practical Guide to Taking Care of an Aging Adult7 reviews
Anita G. Beckerman, Ruth M. Tappen
Health Professions Press, 2000
it takes more than love
This book is written in a way that is never condescending; it talks to the reader as if one were sitting in their kitchen or living room. The content of the book is very thorough, concise, and informative. It truly is a Dr. Spock book for the older adult. I loved the sharing of personal experiences; they make one feel that they are not the only one living through this time of life as a ...

Take Charge Of Your Child's Health: A Guide to Recognizing Symptoms and Treating Minor Illnesses at Home3 reviews
George Wootan
Three Rivers Press, 1992
This is the book I refer to before calling the doctor.
This book is so wonderful because it gives another perspective of medicine. It is about educating parents so that they can make informed decisions about their children's healthcare, and not just rely on their doctor's opinion. I have enjoyed it because it has taught me which questions to ask my children's doctor, and even when to avoid taking my children to the doctor. (Another book that ...

Tools for Alzheimer's Caregivers
Three tools in the book prepare Alzheimer's caregivers for their own difficult journey. (1) The poetry demonstrates a prepared family's plan to adapt to specific patient changes. (2) The comprehensive lists of expected patient changes and (3) the matching lists of needed caregiver adaptations guide families in developing their own response plan. I have been close to three families while they ...

The Family Manager Takes Charge: Getting on the Fast Track to a Happy, Organized Home10 reviews
Kathy Peel
Perigee Trade, 2003
not the typical organizing book
A lot of organizing books repeat the same old principles. Kathy's book applies an entirely different creed! Family managers become CEOs of the family which gives us a whole different perspective and value system. I highly recommend this book. Even after you get the concept down, there is a lot of information in the book you will want to have on the shelf as a reference.

Take Your Pediatrician with You: Keeping Your Child Healthy at Home and on the Road (A Johns Hopkins Press ...8 reviews
Christopher S. Ryder
The Johns Hopkins University Press, 2007
Necessary guide for all parents
I love this book! I bought this book while I was pregnant with my first child and have found it indispensible. I find that it answers all of my questions and concerns, and the dosing guides for medication are really handy. Having it around has made me a more confident parent, and I'm not bothering the pediatrician with phone calls. I always give this book as a baby shower gift, and it is always ...

Along the way they discover each of their natural talents, and there's a nice message about appreciation for parents, the ocean, and each person's unique abilities. Not sure how ...

Take Him a Nation3 reviews
Robert Morris
IUMIX Limited, 2002
A Brave Book
Take Him A Nation is a wonderful novel that keeps the readers' attention throughout and is full of surprises. This is a very brave book. Robert Morris has an amazing font of knowledge which he generously shares with the reader. How nice to find good people in the pages of this novel, not just anti-heroes, maladjusted folks and such as too often we find in modern literature. Morris' people come ...

Owner Will Carry: How to Take Back a Note or Mortgage Without Being Taken2 reviews
Rosenberg
Dry Bones Press, 2000
Best in the West
George Rosenberg's informative manual on how to successfully participate in carry back financing, is the best that I have come across. It provides instruction specific enough to allow the reader to immediately begin to apply the principles learned. Mr. Rosenberg offers a no-nonsense approach to this little known, and potentially profitable [for all parties involved!] area of real estate finance. ...

Children's Sermons to Go: 52 Take-Home Lessons About God2 reviews
Vicky Miller, Deborah Raney
Abingdon Press, 1998
A great resource book for children's sermons
There are several things I like about this book. The every-day, easy to find objects used in the sermons are items that children in my church quickly identify. The stories are interesting to adults and children and I don't have to add much to them. There are also special occasion lessons, such as Father's Day and Super Bowl Sunday. The book includes both a scripture index and a topical ...

CSS Publishing Company, 2008
BENEATH THE CROSS
I want to thank you for the "beneath the cross" series. The response has been great, not only because of the little take home handouts, but because of your gift of bringing the message alive through the letters. We began using it the Wednesday after Ash Wednesday. I asked a member who has a strong voice to read and not what one would call a "warm" or one to show emotions woman. She took the ...

Take Charge!: Advocating For Your Child's Education2 reviews
Jo Ann C. Shaheen, Carolyn C. Spence
Delmar Cengage Learning, 2001
Do you know your child's school?
This very fine book details how a school curriculum relates to, supports, and ultimately teaches values. Take Charge shows how a school encourages curiosity, and protects children. It details what a parent should and can expect from a school. This book is filled with fine anecdotal stories and children's writing to illustrate its points. It is a must-read for parents and, I'd say, teachers and ...
