Things we do (The Ladybird key words reading scheme)

2 reviews
William Murray

Wills & Hepworth, 1964

An excellent series for teaching beginners to read.
I've used this series with ESL students, basic skills, special ed., and regular and gifted students. They've all loved it and learned to read quickly. The book is small and easy to hold, the pictures are clear and inviting, and the step-by-step learning of basic sight words gives guaranteed success. The cost of the books will not strain any school's budget.

Purity of Heart Is to Will One Thing

8 reviews
Soren Kierkegaard

Wilder Publications, 2008

woody allen?
I'm dumbfounded that "rob" compared Kierkegaard with Woody Allen. Purity of Heart is all about the purpose and MEANING of existence. It's about reconciliation to the eternal. Woody Allen has no knowledge of the eternal. He's a silly little pundit using philosophy as a means to distract him from utter boredom and complacency. In his films he may drop references and allude to Sartre, Heidegger, ...

poetry to live with
Greg Watson's work is lovely, straight-forward poetry, easy for poetry novices to read but still rewarding for more practiced readers. All his books explore a mood or experience in related short poems, imagistic and moving. Ideal gift books, as almost any reader can enjoy these poems.

The Book that has a long title + that I am too lazy to type
Now, I do not actually own this book. My friend Rebecca does though. No, Im not actually Mary Lee, but her "little girl" (well, if 11 is little) Now, I highly recommend this to all kids who really love to annoy/trick their parents, like me. It has a very good trick called the Egg Trick, youll have to buy the book to see what it is. It also had tips for sneaking around (as I've been sneaking ...

Conative Connection

Kathy Kolbe

Addison-wesley, 1990

Finding Your Right Livelihood
If I had found this book sooner, it would have helped stop me from many years of lamenting "I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up". And it would have saved me many years of stress while attempting to fit my round peg into too many square holes. The Conative Connection is based on a system to discover our action orientations which are our instinctual methods of 'acting' or ...

Kathy Smith, Suzanne Schlosberg

Grand Central Publishing, 1997

The title of this book is not an exaggeration
I struggled for a long time trying to lose weight. Once I got this book, I realized that although I was exercising and eating a decent amount of calories, I was eating WAY too much fat. I cut back to the requisite amount for my height and frame, and voila!, I started losing weight immediately. I've lost almost 20 pounds in the last 11 months, and I feel much more knowledgeable and in control now ...

Now it has been revised and updated to include a new foreword, chapter updates, and an afterword that incorporates John Westerhoff's thinking (and rethinking) of the issues in Christian education that have arisen in the last quarter century. Westerhoff points out that Christian education ...

An Exciting Addition to the Series

Motivation and Results
This is one the best books - if not the best - I have read. Though published in '47, it's principles are timeless. The authors and editors include true stories and experiences, quotes, scripture, etc. to help the reader gain the desire to be a doer - to get things done. This is a must read for any athlete, business person, housewife, or...anyone!

Broadman & Holman Pub, 1996

A good read
"A Rose Will Grow Anywhere" was a beautiful reminder of my visit to David Redding's church, a rustic cathedral built by Amish barn raisers.

Splitting Heirs: Giving Your Money and Things to Your Children Without Ruining Their Lives

1 review
Ron Blue, Jeremy White

Northfield Publishing, 2008

A "Big Picture" Christian Perspective on Wealth Transfer
Christian financial planning icon Ron Blue reveals the hidden weakness in most of the "estate planning" Christians (and non-Christians) end up pursuing: We focus too much on tax strategies and the mechanics of asset distribution at death, rather than focusing on how we can best deploy our assets to do the most good while we're living AND upon our deaths. Ron encourages a thoughtful, caring ...

A witty, factual and serious Look into our Future
I'm still in the chapter titled "Can Earth Support Nine Billion People?" but I don't need to finish the book to write this review. This book takes a look at what our future might be based on trends. It is full of wit but at the same time makes us think twice about many things. The book is well balanced in terms of the positive and negative things about what may happen in the future. And most ...

One of the Funniest Books I've Ever Read!
