Telling Yourself the Truth 25 reviews
William Backus, Marie Chapian
Bethany House, 2000
Eye opening and a quick read
After reading this book, I've since given away my copy and bought it twice. It's based on a simple concept: eliminate negative self talk by recognizing it, arguing with it, and replacing it with the truth. Anyone who has ever been discouraged, experienced doubt, or been angry at themselves will learn from this book.

Telling Lies: Clues to Deceit in the Marketplace, Politics, and Marriage (Revised and Updated Edition) 9 reviews
Paul Ekman
W. W. Norton & Company, 2001
Ekman is better than he is given credit
Dr Eckman may disappoint his readers by not giving them what they want: A simple protocol for determining whether or not someone is lying. There is a simple reason: There isn't one.
Other books will defraud the reader by giving them techniques that in reality don't work. Dr Eckman pounds in one central point - that there is no one single way to detect dishonesty. He calls any belief to the ...

Telling the Truth About History 13 reviews
Joyce Oldham Appleby, Lynn Hunt, ...
W. W. Norton & Company, 1995
Don't know much about History...
The book argues that various types of absolutisms (political, intellectual, or ideological) have been dethroned. Ever since the "heroic model of Science" (which in the past centuries enjoyed an aura of absolute validity) has been shown to be less than "perfectly objective," a struggle has ensued to fill the vacuum in the interpretation of history.
On one extreme we find the radical projects of ...

Must Have!
This book is a perfect blend of theory and practical application in a compact package. Small enough to slide in a purse or briefcase, so you can take it with you when you need to brush up. Love it!!!

Telling Secrets12 reviews
Frederick Buechner
HarperOne, 1992
An Act of Love
"I not only have my secrets, I am my secrets. And you are your secrets. Our secrets are human secrets, and our trusting each other enough to share them with each other has much to do with the secret of what it is to be human." In Telling Secrets, Buechner does just that. He tells the details of his most intimate life. He tells of his struggles and his tortuous search for answers to life. And ...

Stop Telling, Start Selling: How to Use Customer-Focused Dialogue to Close Sales4 reviews
Linda Richardson
McGraw-Hill, 2008
Great advice (if you can assimilate it)
The problem with any "how to sell" book like this is, until you can integrate the advice given here so that it comes naturally to you, you will sound as mechanical and forced as some of the "tellers" Richardson criticizes. I used to sell big-tiicket business-to-business, and I can say the advice here is timeless: engage your customer, identify what your customer's needs are and position your ...

Tori Spelling
Simon Spotlight, 2008
Tori and Her Mommie Dearest
The reason I bought this book as I wanted to find out more about the relationship between Tori and her mother. Tori was very honest and really did not trash her mother as she probably should have. She told the truth and did not comment after - she lets you draw your own opinion. And my opinion is - holy moly - I am surprised that Tori grew up as well as she did. And the reason why she grew up ...

My Book of Easy Telling Time: Learning about Hours and Half-Hours2 reviews
Kumon Publishing North America, 2006
simply the best
I bought four Kumon workbooks for my 5 year old's kindergarten. This will be our first year homeschooling. I totally love the Kumon method. The workbooks introduce the information in a highly incremental way. The layout of the pages is very simple and consistant. I just love this workbook and am confident that it will work really well for us.

Telling Lies and Getting Paid: Gambling Stories24 reviews
Michael Konik
The Lyons Press, 2002
One of the Best Books I've Ever Read
I was interested in this book after seeing the author on numerous television shows about gambling. Michael Konik has always been one of my favorite commentators about poker. He brings articulateness and humor to the game. I found these qualities in his writing. Some of his writing is laugh outloud funny and some of it is quite serious. He is more eloquent in print than he is on TV. "Telling Lies" ...

The Telling Pool1 review
David Clement-Davies
Amulet Books, 2007
Bert's Book Review
The book The Telling Pool by David Clemet-Daives, is a great medieval themed book for young adults. The book starts off with a boy named Rhodri speaking to a fortune teller who tells him his fortune; that he is to undergo a quest to save the kingdom. Rhodri's father tells him to get away from the teller and stay with him. Rhodri, of course, wanders off and finds a blind black smith who tells him ...

Telling Stories: An Anthology for Writers4 reviews
W. W. Norton & Company, 1998
An excellent anthology for creative writers and readers.
Joyce Carol Oates combines the best of classic literature by Kafka and Faulkner with contemporary works by Garcia Marquez and King. Each story and poem exemplifies a writing technique or strategy. An example being the two versions of James Joyce's short story "Sister;" the first his original draft and the second a revision. "Telling Stories" is a wonderful anthology for anyone wishing to ...

William Backus
Bethany House, 2006
Experience Freedom in Communicating With Others!
Backus' book is a refreshing read to communicate openly and lovingly with others and avoid manipulation. Among the many important points covered in the book include: 1. When we lose integrity, we become a fraction of the person God created us to be. 2. We fail to receive because we fail to ask. 3. Do's and dont's for criticizing others. 4. Characteristics of loving speech. 5. God does not ...

more like an address book than a fortune teller
It's really just a cute, handy place to record the birthdays of your friends and family, and the fortunes are just there for fun. Look elsewhere if you are looking for a real astrology book.

Telling Lies for Fun & Profit: A Manual for Fiction Writers18 reviews
Lawrence Block
Harper Paperbacks, 1994
The "Writer's" Block!
I bought this book at least 10 years ago (maybe 12), and have found it wonderfully useful for advice and information whenever I'm foolish enough to try & live out my dream of writing a novel. It's a very entertaining read in and of itself, and is useful for anyone trying to write ANYTHING, not just fiction; I certainly found the advice helpful when engaged in academic writing (I've published ...

Presenting to Win: The Art of Telling Your Story35 reviews
Jerry Weissman
Prentice Hall, 2006
You will never present the same way again...and your audiece will thank you
Jerry Weissman is one of those rare people who has written an authoritative sounding book about how to present and has the real experience and background to justify every claim he makes.
The book starts with the premise that the presenter must focus on the audience and that he must make them focus on him. He must understand the mental point they are at (Point A) and moves them to Point B. He ...

Collecting stories that are both deeply personal and powerfully political, Telling Histories compiles seventeen personal narratives by leading black women historians at various stages in their careers. Their essays illuminate how--first as graduate students and then as professional historians--they entered and navigated the realm ...

Telling the Truth: The Gospel as Tragedy, Comedy, and Fairy Tale17 reviews
Frederick Buechner
HarperOne, 1977
A compelling and beautiful book
I still struggle to understand why on earth this author isn't as widely read, valued, commented and acclaimed as he deserves to be... It is perhaps, as he suggested, because he seems to be "too religious for the irreligious and too secular for the religious". Whatever reasons there may be, few other writers equal the quality of thought and writing of Frederick Buechner on "religious" matters ...

Excellent
When starting out on a search for birth parents, particularly with international adoptions where one has no idea of who (or what circumstances) one will find, this is a superb guide.
They key point here, something most psychiatrists apparently have yet to learn, is that adopted children from the youngest ages frequently and actively wonder about their birth parents, and often conceptualize ...
