Beyond Words eBook, 2007

This book is very uplifting.

+ Wise Words - But Use Wisely
+ To believe or not to believe

Nobody can read this book and not feel inspired. I read it about a year ago when I was feeling down. By the time I got through I was filled with hope and Joy. I loan it out to my friends. When I do I purchase a new copy so my friends can have a copy too. I think everyone should have a copy.

Warning about the Kindle edition!

+ Wonderful

If you open the Kindle edition of the book by double-clicking on the title in your list of books the Kindle edition opens at Chapter 1. Don't do that. If you do you miss the Prologue. The Prologue sets up a conflict at the heart of the story. I liked the book without the Prologue but it would've ...

As long as Stephen Colbert has been performing, he's been writing. This is a brilliant man in full command of a comedic sensibility that has been delighting me for many years.

WWE has basically the same plot as POTE. Some obvious similarities: Jack-Merthin Lady Aliena-Philippa William Hamleigh-Ralph Fitzgerald The list goes on. This book is repetitous and has the same pattern as POTE, good versus evil with a lot of architectural jargon thrown in. I loved Pillars ...
