The Dandelions of Woodlawn Avenue: "A woman's search for meaning and purpose in life" 50 reviews
Jo Singel
iUniverse, Inc., 2005
The Jo I didn't know
I have formed many business friendships over the last 30 years but none have been more honest or insightful than the one I have with Jo. I met Jo in the late 1980's, not knowing anything about her upbringing, knowing only her reputation as an excellent businesswoman, motivator and teacher.
After reading about her Mom, Dad, the "hood" in Philadelphia, her first marraige, and then the journey ...

The Dance of Anger a Womans Guide to Changing The87 reviews
Harriet Lerner
Harper Row, 1986
This Book Has Made An Impact On My Life
When I read a book that inspires me, I mark the pages that I want to go back and study again. Of the 232 pages in The Dance of Anger, I turned down over 50 corners. My first reading was in 1989, and I still go back and find reasons why this book made such an impact on my life.
The biggest lesson was to put more 'I' in my life. Then, to remember that I have a right to my thoughts and feelings; ...

Absolutely Splendiferous
This book is a must have for any woman or young lady. I kept checking out this book from the library over and over again anytime I felt pressured by friends, family, or even pop culture to become something I wasn't. I finally realized that with all of the late fees I racked up I could have purchased the book five times over.
It encourages women to live life to the fullest and be who they ...

Michelle McKinney Hammond
Harvest House Publishers, 1998
Inspiring, funny, appropriate and real
I stumbled upon this book and am so glad I did.
The author has an obvious love and passion for Jesus and a desire to tell others about how to be a godly and virtuous woman. Forget "The Rules" - Read and apply the principals outlined in the book and fall in love with the Savior. In a culture that forces one to immediate gratification, this book will inspire and motivate you to pray for your ...

The Bodyguard59 reviews
Christy Tillery French
Mystery and Suspense Press, 2004
Oh, yeah
Through my library's book group, I've become a dedicated reader of this author. Although she writes about darker subjects, I like her romantic comedies the best. And this introduction to The Bodyguard is a winner. Natasha Chamberlain wants to be an investigator, so goes about it by entering through the backdoor: as a bodyguard to Roger Valentine, a multimillionaire software king. Natasha's boss, ...

Jeffrey, M.D. Thurston
Tapestry Press (TX), 2002
READ *THIS* INSTEAD OF "WHAT TO EXPECT WHILE...."
This book is fantastic! It explains everything in a helpful, easy format. It makes it simple to find answers to questions in certain topics and cross refernces make follow-up questions easy to answer as well. Dr. Thurston writes with a happy, charismatic tone and unless you'd be offended by a reference to God creating the body to do x,y,z, I think this is one of the better pregnancy books out ...

I can't say enough good things about this book!
This book helped me get through a very difficult time a while back. In the time since, I have occasionally felt the anxiety levels creep back up, and I have come back to this book. It isn't one to be read one time, but is worth reading again and again.
It is easy to have this book recommended to you, or even to have someone give it to you and leave it sitting on your shelf. I did that ...

From the intriguing and unusual cover to the contents of the book to the back cover -- this book is one of those books you just can't put down. Wanda's courage and strength comes shining through due to the incredible writing of Hudson and Hills.

Barbara Rose
Rose Group, 2006
Groundbreaking for Transformation and Self Esteem
In "Know Yourself" Barbara Rose did an outstanding job of bringing insight where I previously had confusion or uncertainty. There is a chapter covering abuse that helped me un-do more hurt from the past than I thought it would, and for that I am grateful.
I wanted to quote directly from the book from page 98 because I feel this can help anyone, which is the purpose of this great book.
