What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Fibromyalgia: The Revolutionary Treatment That Can Reverse the Disease

221 reviews
R. Paul St. Amand, Claudia Craig Marek

Wellness Central, 2006

Real Help At Long Last!
For most of my life I was told that the blood and urine tests and the xrays showed I was "perfectly healthy". Still, I suffered terrible pain and a severe lack of sleep, rarely getting more than 2, 3 or sometimes 4 hours of sleep a night. Then this wonderful doctor, who himself suffered from fibromyalgia, began to study this terrible disease. When he wrote this book, he had studied ...

Immaculee Ilibagiza

Hay House, 2007

LEFT TO TELL - INSPIRING
Very inspiring, courageous story of Immaculee Ilibagiza - the divine providence who took care of her and the other women in difficult upheaval, His faithfulness, and how she beautifully responds to His call in complete trust. I couldn't put it down once I started reading it. You cry with her, she paints such vivid pictures and throughout it all, she truly trusts in Him. I hope my faith is never ...

Tyndale House Publishers, Inc., 2007

Loved It!
Thank you Dr. Leman! I now have a new kid (because I read the book, Have a New Kid by Friday) and my husband has a new wife. It really is simple to please your man. I have been carefully applying your methods although some are very painful for me. I am getting better every day. I am passing the book around to all of my girlfriends and I will read it again when I get it back. Well done.

Tell It Slant: A Conversation on the Language of Jesus in His Stories and Prayers

10 reviews
Eugene H. Peterson

Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 2008

TELL IT SLANT is about more than Jesus' use of language
TELL IT SLANT. Huh? The phrase is a not-quite-grammatical derivative of the clichéd "tell it straight." It isn't original to author Peterson; it's from a line of poetry by Emily Dickinson: "Tell all the Truth but tell it slant." Peterson sees the idiom as descriptive of Jesus' mode of communication, especially as portrayed in 10 parables that are unique to the Gospel of Luke --- found between ...

What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Premenopause: Balance Your Hormones and Your Life From Thirty to Fifty

65 reviews
John Lee, Jesse Hanley, ...

Warner Books, 1999

A must read, but consult first
I am not a beliver in many things. I am a hard core skeptic. But I am sold on this book. I have bought multiple copies and handed them out to my girlfriends, something I have never done before. This books will inform you at the very least. Some people in the reviews say Dr. Lee's science is bad. While he explains what happens at the celluar level with hormones, this isn't a science book. I ...

Every Patient Tells a Story

55 reviews
Lisa Sanders

Broadway, 2009

Language counts!
I have enjoyed many of Dr. Sanders' NYT columns, so I was expecting this book to be worth reading. I was right. Using real stories featuring patients and their health care providers (mostly physicians) she illustrates the power of language and touch (the history and exam) for both cure and care. She manages the tough task of including enough medical background to make this accessible to the ...

Tell It Slant: Writing and Shaping Creative Nonfiction

Brenda Miller, Suzanne Paola

McGraw-Hill, 2004

It's a great book! See also The Tao of Writing (by me)
I've gone round and round trying to find a reasonably good text for a creative nonfiction course I'm teaching in the spring. Tell It Slant was sitting on my bookshelf, so I picked it up one day. It gets to the point, offers excellent, accessible advice, and allows me to teach writing. For a complete novice, it might be too little, but for an experienced writer and teacher, it's an excellent ...

Go Tell It on the Mountain

88 reviews
James Baldwin

Dial Press Trade Paperback, 2000

"He got the steep side of the mountain to climb."
This was my second reading of James Baldwin's initial novel, first read 40 some years ago, and it rang even more powerful the second time around. Baldwin is the essential chronicler of the Black American experience, in all its anguish. The novel was first published in 1953, and was primarily set in mid-Depression Harlem, with flashbacks to the rural southern antecedents of the main characters, ...

What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About(TM) Children's Vaccinations (What Your Doctor May Not Tell You ...

Stephanie Cave, Deborah Mitchell

Grand Central Publishing, 2001

Excellent Book!
Just wanted to put my vote in the five-star column - I think this book is very valuable and should be read by anyone with children (or anyone that has a body of their own, for that matter). Dr. Cave goes into a lot of detail about the background of vaccinations and explains how they may have links to autism, auto-immune disorders and other prevelant disorders of the 20th and 21st Centuries. If ...

Tell Them Who I Am: The Lives of Homeless Women

Elliot Liebow

Penguin (Non-Classics), 1995

Tell Them Who I Am
With his book, Tell Them Who I Am: The Lives of Homeless Women, Elliot Liebow has done an excellent job of putting the facts of shelter life together. His research was not done in a far away library with his nose in a book, rather he learned first hand by working in women's shelters and soup kitchens in Washington DC. In his book, he explores the multitude of ways that "the humanity of the ...

Elizabeth Wissner-Gross

Plume, 2008

It worked for us!
We stumbled upon this book two years ago when my daughter was in sixth grade at a large, inner city public middle school. The kind of school with caring but overworked teachers, and a counselor/student ration of 1 to 380. This book and it's companion "What colleges Don't Tell you..." were a revelation for us. For less than twenty dollars, we received the kind of "inside information" that ...

Tell Me Where It Hurts: A Day of Humor, Healing, and Hope in My Life as an Animal Surgeon

61 reviews
Nick Trout

Broadway, 2009

fresh and inviting
Nick Trout's book "Tell me where it hurts" is a few days in the life of a veterinarian. Its witty and touching. Nick also has a few flashbacks, one which tells how he came to be in the animal doctoring business. Not only do we get a inside view of an animal hospital, we get some interesting facts on strange animal conditions and habits. Such as a slider, a turtle that had its penis half ...

Tell My Horse: Voodoo and Life in Haiti and Jamaica (P.S.)

11 reviews
Zora Neale Hurston

Harper Perennial Modern Classics, 2009

Indeed, truth is stranger than fiction
This book is as mysterious and thought-provoking as expected from the author. As always, she presents the reader with a point of view that is very personal, and so deeply informed. I don't believe anyone else could have had the range of resources she did on the subjects. I knew very little about Voodoo, or the history of Jamaica and Haiti. I trust Ms. Hurston to have given us an insightful, if ...

Measuring Up is an excellent book that provides a critical review of contemporary issues in educational measurement. The text is accessible and insightful, drawing on current research in the field. I am using it as a required text in my masters-level Classroom Assessment course and the chapters provide a spring-board for thoughtful discussion each week in class. Koretz brings to our attention ...

The Last True Story I'll Ever Tell: An Accidental Soldier's Account of the War in Iraq

146 reviews
John Crawford

Riverhead Trade, 2006

Not a Rah-Rah Book
I know it's a good book when I'm still thinking about it 10 days after I finished it. I was looking for brutal honesty and the raw emotional toll of war (not a factual history tome), and I got it in this book. Sometimes it was as much what WASN'T written as what was (the chapter near the end with the three young boys is a good example). That is a delicate balance for a writer and it was powerful. ...
