Prayer: My Soul's Adventure With God : The Spiritual Autobiography of Robert H. Schuller 7 reviews
Robert Harold Schuller
Thomas Nelson Inc, 1995
The best autobiography I ever read
Believe it or not, I had been moved to tears over five times (my personal record) by this medium length book. I had read many christian books and written tens of related reviews here. By far this is the best, or should I say the most productive one for my faith. Even if you had read other books written by Schuller or biographies of Schuller before (which I did), you would still be fascinated by ...

BodySculpture: Plastic Surgery of the Body for Men & Women8 reviews
Hudson Pub, 1998
Body Sculpture: Plastic surgery of the body for men and wome
An excellent resource for anyone considering plastic surgery. This book is very informative and very simple to understand. Even my plastic surgeon was impressed with how well informed I was at my initial consult. He even asked for the name of this book so he could recommend this book to his patients as a resource prior to surgery. I've been researching this topic for two years and this ...

Chicken Fingers, Mac and Cheese...Why Do You Always Have to Say Please?8 reviews
Wendy Rosen, Jackie End
Modern Publishing, 2005
Teaching Manners
This charming book is a great tool to use when trying to teach manners to young children. It's told in rhyme and explains why people (children) should say please and thank you. The illustrations that accompany the text are fun and engaging for youngsters. The middle of the book even has a section that explains, in a very simple way, the proper set up of silverware and what each utensil should ...

Giovanni Boccaccio
Signet Classics, 2002
Which Translation?
The translation that you choose will have an impact upon your enjoyment of any work written in a foreign language. In the case of The Decameron, the translations recommended by "The Oxford Guide to Literature in English Translation" are those by (1) G.H. McWilliams and (2) Bondanella and Musa.

When Money Isn't Enough: How Women Are Finding the Soul of Success7 reviews
Connie Glaser, Barbara Smalley
Grand Central Publishing, 1999
If Not Money, What?
Glaser and Smalley are among the most influential of current business scholars because they think so clearly and write so well while discussing the most important issues. Perhaps you have already read their Swim with the Dolphins. If not, you are urged to do so. In this book, they focus on an especially timely subject: The importance of "soul" in the equation for "success." In recent years, I ...

History: A Novel22 reviews
Elsa Morante
Zoland Books, 2000
this is special!
When I ordered this book I really didn't want a war book but after reading a few reviews, couldn't resist this. I'm not a scholar, not even much of a history buff but enjoy a good history novel and am always looking for something new and different to read. Elsa Morante walks you through the life and times of an Italian woman in Rome during WWII. While that's not new, the quality and insight of ...

Pauline Does It Again!
Another great Pauline Sokol mystery! I love this character and have enjoyed watching her grow as the series takes off. This was great with the Newport backdrop and slightly more information about the ever mysterious Jagger. I hope that we will be hearing a lot more about Pauline, Goldie, Miles, and wonderful Uncle Walt...

Bloodroot: Reflections on Place by Appalachian Women Writers2 reviews
University Press of Kentucky, 2000
An outstanding book!
Scholars should give this book an A+ for breadth of coverage and depth of analysis . . . but as a lay person in the field of academe, I celebrate its honesty and passion. While the chapters are uneven, each portrays a working writer who, for one reason or another, claims her Appalachian heritage as foundational in her life. By connecting with the rootedness of these widely-varying women, my ...

The best ever!
I used this book after my son was born and found it to be informative, motivating and user friendly. Like most weight loss books, I assumed I had to read over 200 pages before I would lose a pound but that is not the case with this book.
Basically they give you some great information in the front of the book and tons of meals to choose from in the back of the book. The middle of the book is what ...

Excellent Collection
This collection has a nice variety of authors and stories. There are unmistakable classics like Shirley Jackson's "The Lottery," Ernest Hemingway's "A Clean, Well-Lighted Place" and James Baldwin's "Sonny's Blues" but also stories by several authors I had never been introduced to before. The result is a fascinating range of styles and perspectives which make the book a compelling and inspiring ...

Merriam-Webster's Dictionary of Law4 reviews
Merriam-Webster
Merriam-Webster, 1996
Keep this Handy
I keep this legal dictionary at my right hand on my desk and refer to it almost daily. It is a perferct legal dictionary for non-lawyers.
I'm not a lawyer, but have been involved with litigation as a plaintiff and am training as an expert witness. Sometimes it's helpful to know what "voir dire" and "subpoena duces tecum" mean. Even for somebody who's studied Latin and French, lawyers sometimes ...
