Will I Have a Friend? 3 reviews
Miriam Cohen
Star Bright Books, 2008
A classic that's still true today
For over thirty years, this book has answered one of a young child's most important questions about starting school: will I have any friends? Walking to school on the first day with his father, that's the question Jim asks. His father smiles down at him and says, "I think you will." Jim's a little intimidated at first. "All the boys were making noise. All the girls were laughing. ...

Just Who Will You Be?: Big Question. Little Book. Answer Within. (ROUGHCUT) 55 reviews
Maria Shriver
Hyperion, 2008
It touched me deeply!
I didn't know too much about Maria Shriver before reading this book except for the fact that she is the famous Kennedy-Mrs. Schwarzenegger-First lady of California that you see in the headlines from time to time. Then one day the title of her book "Just Who Will You Be" caught my eye. Umm, why would she be interested in who she is? Doesn't she have all the fame in the world already? So I picked ...

One Man's America: The Pleasures and Provocations of Our Singular Nation7 reviews
George Will
Crown Forum, 2008
America Through Conservative Eyes
"One Man's America" focuses not on the large events of the first years of the 21st century, but rather how a conservative sensibility reacts to smaller matters. While doing so he also provides an entertaining and instructive unfolding of the American story.
Will's work begins with people (William F. Buckley, Barry Goldwater, John F. Kennedy, etc.), and then on to various topics such as "The ...

Psychedelic Shakespeare - A Renaissance Romp and Magical Mystery Tour
Loved it. Funny, irreverent, scholarly, silly, sexy... nay, erotic. All that and Shakespeare too! Lots of fun for the open-minded (the subtitle is its own disclaimer), this book will blow minds in many ways.

Soon I Will Be Invincible86 reviews
Austin Grossman
Pantheon Books, 2007
The ZORK of comic books. The WATCHMEN of novels
This is a great book! Sure, it's not completely a comic book -- or a graphic novel. There are no drawings to look at. That is, if you discount the Chip Kidd / Bryan Hitch art. But, I can see them in my head as I turn the pages. I'm drawing the images from my own imagination. And what's better than the pages we each conjure ourselves? IT'S NEVER WRONG!!
And of course there are a lot of holes in ...

Will in the World: How Shakespeare Became Shakespeare34 reviews
Stephen Greenblatt
W. W. Norton, 2005
William Shakespeare Biography
Stephen Greenblatt has done an outstanding job with this biography of William Shakespeare.
Writing a biography about someone who has been dead for nearly five hundred year must be a challenging goal. Especially since Shakespeare left little in his own hand, other than his published works.
Greenblatt in this book says that, "There is no way of achieving any certainty. After generations of ...

Just Who Will You Be CD3 reviews
Hyperion, 2008
Maria Shriver Eloquently Narrates Just Who Will You Be?
This is a wonderful thought provoking, life altering CD narrated by Maria Shriver herself. I was never a fan of Mrs. Shriver when she was a news anchor. She is a wonderfully articulate author and narrator. Mrs. Shriver asks as always the relevant questions necessary to get one thinking!

Brendan I. Koerner
Penguin Press HC, The, 2008
Victims of Jim Crow
Among the many strange and sad tales of World War II, one of the most peculiar ones is that of Private Herman Perry, who died in the jungles of Burma, one of the Americans sent there for the expensive and doomed Ledo Road that was to link India and China. Perhaps his story has been forgotten because of the futility of that particular expedition; perhaps it was because Perry was executed as a ...

Editors of Nolo
NOLO, 2007
Exceptional
I recently purchased this to upgrade my will and had all the usual worries about the makers screwing up a good product. I am happy to say that it's as easy to use as the one I am replacing. You never get swamped with legalese and if you have a question it is easily answered. A great buy for peace of mind.

I just LOVE this series
I couldn't wait for #5 to come out & it's as enjoyable as the rest. If you read the quote from Laurell K. Hamilton regarding this series, I simply couldn't agree more. My only fault is why can't Mr Thomas start writing 2 of these each year?

Hackett Pub Co Inc, 1993
excellent text for considering the impact of Christianity on Platonism and vice-versa
If you were looking for a significant and representative but introductory level medieval Christian philosophy text, you would be hard pressed to find one better than this. When I teach intro to philosophy, I often choose representative texts from the ancient, medieval, early Modern, and roughly contemporary periods. I start with Plato, either the Apology or the Meno or both. Then we read this ...

Decision Making and the Will of God: A Biblical Alternative to the Traditional View46 reviews
Garry Friesen
Multnomah Books, 2004
Understanding What God's Will is and What God's Will is Not
This is a thorough Biblical study of God's will. There is God's sovereign will and God's moral will. God's sovereign will dictates everything that He allows to happen, be it good or bad. God's moral will governs how we should live (e. g., the Ten Commandments).
When humans successfully commit a sin, their act is inconsistent with God's moral will but is consistent with His sovereign will. If ...
