Through the Storm: A Real Story of Fame and Family in a Tabloid World 26 reviews
Lynne Spears, Lorilee Craker
Thomas Nelson, 2008
More Grace and Less Judgment for the Spears' Family
First, let me begin by sharing my past judgments on the Spears' family. As a Christian, I have to be honest that I did hold underlying notions that Lynne pushed her daughters into show business, that their faith wasn't really ever grounded and was very nominal, and that they tended to create their own dramas. After reading this book, I realize that I was wrong and too judgmental of their family, ...

LIFE CHANGING!!
This book changed my life!!! I think the recipies are fast, inventive and taste awesome! I have lost 30 pounds and I owe it to this book!

Layout Workbook: A Real-World Guide to Building Pages in Graphic Design14 reviews
Kristen Cullen
Rockport Publishers, 2007
Check out the whole series!
This was the first book that I bought in Rockport's series of graphic design books. It provides great information for designing layouts and even shows examples from real publications. The only gripe I have is the small font was a bit hard to read in a dimly lit room (but most trendy publications are that way now). But despite that, the book is still readable in good lighting and provides ...

Jim Cramer's Real Money: Sane Investing in an Insane World269 reviews
James J. Cramer
Simon & Schuster, 2005
Believe it or not, Cramer can make you a better investor.
Having read several investment books, this book is a much needed shot in the arm in that it opens the doors to the type of independent thinking that the mutual fund industry doesn't want individual investors to engage in. Cramer's book encourages readers to move beyond what may be an effective but somewhat restrictive investment philosophy, and utilize several strategic approaches to building ...

Raw Food/Real World: 100 Recipes to Get the Glow105 reviews
Matthew Kenney, Sarma Melngailis
William Morrow Cookbooks, 2005
Raw Food Unreal World
This book can't be faulted for the culinary artistry of its recipes, which are among the best I've come across compared with several previously purchased vegan cookbooks. (The Chocolate Gnosh recipe is outstanding, and if prepared with the same ingredient quantities in the book, will leave a couple with a high-end restaurant quality desert every night for a week. And, amazingly, the desert is ...

Wicked Cool PHP: Real-World Scripts That Solve Difficult Problems 3 reviews
William Steinmetz, Brian Ward
No Starch Press, 2008
A great resource for PHP programmers
I saw this book on a friends desk and shamelessly took it before he had a chance to read it. I have many php books on my bookshelf, too many. I can now remove quite a few and replace them with this book.
When I first glanced through this book, I was intrigued by the way it was laid out. There are 12 chapters covering many topics that php programmers should know about their language and how ...

The Devil's Delusion: Atheism and Its Scientific Pretensions59 reviews
David Berlinski
Crown Forum, 2008
Run, watch atheist run
Now that I've spent quite a bit of time around the "new atheists" or "militant atheists", I can say that they thoroughly annoy me and I find them to be dishonest. I've heard very many of their arguments against theism over the years, and I've honestly considered their arguements. But at this point I always warn them as their "logic & reason" (that they fully believe they've got such a strong ...

Even Better Than Expected
Well written, clear and fun to read. I'm not a real pilot but I've been an enthusiastic if somewhat casual user of Flight Simulator for years and I have learned so much from this book. It's accurate, no glaring typos and assembled in a logical format.
The accompanying exercises (down loadable from the Wiley Site)are very well done and are a testament to the devotion of the authors to fulfill ...
