Overcoming Sin and Temptation 23 reviews
John Owen
Crossway Books, 2006
Indispensable!
I've read many books on "Christian living", all pale in comparison to this master. He is streets ahead of Stott, Piper, White, Schaeffer and the plethora of modern authors who've unsuccessfully (and I say that only after seeing Owen's acheivement) tackled this topic.

Spice: The History of a Temptation 18 reviews
Jack Turner
Vintage, 2005
READABLE POPULAR HISTORY - A DELIGHT!
Spice, The History of a Temptation by Jack Turner is a very well written history of the spice trade, written in the popular history mode. A tremendous amount of research must have gone into this work as it is absolutely filled with little gems of detail and wonderful small side stories. There are a number of other books out there that deal with this subject. A recent one, Dangerous Tastes by ...

To Taste Temptation (The Legend of the Four Soldiers) 16 reviews
Elizabeth Hoyt
Forever, 2008
Author's Talents Growing With Each New Book and Now...
....we have this absolutely excellent, exciting, sensual, loving and wonderful new book. Having followed this author, reading all her previous works, I had high expectations for this novel and she admirably fufilled every one. First, the story expertly captures the nastiness of class distinctions and particularly how, an American, because of his success in "business" could NEVER overcome ...

The Five Temptations of a CEO: A Leadership Fable 60 reviews
Patrick M. Lencioni
Jossey-Bass, 1998
Results Zealot!
Patrick Lencioni is a results zealot. He says that "being the chief executive of an organization is one of the most difficult challenges a person can face in a career. But it is not a complicated one." Use this book (and the worksheet from his website) at a future staff meeting to shed light on the functions of leadership.
It's been 10 years since I first read this book. After reading it ...

When Godly People Do Ungodly Things: Arming Yourself in the Age of Seduction22 reviews
Beth Moore
B&H Publishing Group, 2002
Incredible Insight
A friend of mine gave this to me to read. This book was absolutely amazing. The insight that Beth shares is incredible. Beth lays it all out there for us to see and understand in her down home Texas way. She's absolutely great. She not only addresses what happens, but gives many examples of how and why these things happen. Beth also gives step by step instructions for recovery. What a mighty ...

The Sweetest Temptation (Arabesque)
Rochelle Alers
Kimani Press, 2008
Once Faith Whitfield dreamed she'd find her prince, but enough frogs have dispelled that fairy tale. She's been too busy running Let Them Eat Cake and satisfying other people's sweet tooth to lament her own love life. Still, a woman's got to get out of the kitchen sometime and Ethan McMillan's seduction heats her passion to the boiling point. But even decadent weekends of romance and Ethan's sweet sensuality can't convince Faith to trust him ...

Erotica, But More
*****
I didn't expect a whole lot from this novel, and started it with some trepidation, as it was the first erotic novel I've ever read. I was pleasantly surprised at its complexity and depth and power to make me think, perhaps even more than its obvious entertainment value.
This is the story told in the voice of Anne, a wife and daughter, someone ostensibly very happy with her life. To her ...

Great Shape
I ordered Every Young Mans Battle for my 16 year old grandson. It came promptly and in a-1 condition. He is still in the process of reading it and finds it very helpful.

The Devil and Miss Prym: A Novel of Temptation (P.S.)4 reviews
Paulo Coelho
Harper Perennial, 2007
I thought this was as good or better than the Alchemist
After reading the Alchemist (which was recommeneded to me by four people) I wanted to read more by this author. This is the best book I have read in a while! It made me reflect on human nature and will stick with me for years to come. The book explores whether people are naturally good or evil. I was drawn in from the beginning and stayed interested until the conclusion. It is a quick and ...

The Lady & Sons Just Desserts: More Than 120 Sweet Temptations from Savannah's Favorite Restaurant45 reviews
Paula Deen
Simon & Schuster, 2006
my favorite cookbook!
This is the first of Paula Deen's cookbooks I have owned, and wow! Recipes are so easy, and most ingredients are already in my pantry (really amazing for me!!) Tonight I made her gooey butter cakes, and what a hit! So far, haven't found a recipe we haven't liked! I love cookbooks, but normally only find a couple recipes I actually like in the entire book. Not this one!! My favorite!!!

Mister B. Gone 68 reviews
Clive Barker
HarperCollins, 2007
Idiot reviewers
I've read many of Barker's novels, and this has been a fun ride. Aside from The Thief of Always or his short fiction, it has been his easiest and most fun story to read.
Several reviews have complained about different typographical errors in the book. If any of them would actually use their brain they would realize that the book is coming strait from the mouth of a demon. It would make sense ...

The Last Temptation of Christ81 reviews
Nikos Kazantzakis
Touchstone, 1998
It's a love letter
One cannot review this book as a work of literature, although it certainly is that. Kazantzakis wrote it as a love-letter to Christ and a meditation on the nature of the man. In that sense, he succeeded wildly, ecstatically, anachronisms and misplaced Greek characterizations and all. "Gunpowder", even - it's all part of Nikos Kazantzakis, and it all serves to drive us deep into the heart of ...

Master of Temptation21 reviews
Nicole Jordan
Fawcett, 2004
A beautiful, exciting love story
Master of Temptation was so wonderful and hot, I couldn't put down. Caro and Max were a fabulous couple, the island setting was fresh and beautiful, and the rescue of Isabella had me on the edge of my seat. Thank you for such wonderful stories, Ms. Jordan. They just get better and better.

This book makes The Boys to Men transition
Wow, I never thought I would ever read a book that would cover such a topic in a non-threatning way. i think this is one that young boys should read and I would love to get feedback on how it helps girls. Back in the day, you found adult magazines under the bed. Today, with the Internet you never know unless your monitoring them.
One thing a parent can do to curb Internet surfing is to keep ...

Paradise Lost and Paradise Regained (The Signet Classic Poetry Series)23 reviews
John Milton
Signet Classics, 2001
the Signet edition is my favorite
I have maybe a half-dozen editions of "Paradise Lost."
Whenever I need to reread it quickly, I pick up the Signet Classic edition. It's got to be my favorite.
There are more thorough editions, certainly. But the thing I like about the Signet edition is that it's got this whole Goldilocks thing going on with the footnotes. Not too few, not too many.
In the text, words and phrases that ...

Passion & Betrayl
Ok, so i'm a lil' late in reading this book. I saw it in the store and picked it up since I haven't read any of her books. "Temptation" by Victoria Christopher Murrary was excllent. She used beleivable characters in her story. I felt the love, hate, passion, need that each of them protrayed. It's w tale of of a couple Kyla and Jefferson Blake and how they marriage almost ended because of a ...

Excellent!
This is the 3rd book in the trilogy! I love it just as much as the other 2 books. I am going to be sad when I am finished with it. I have never enjoyed a trilogy as much as this one!
