90 Minutes in Heaven: A True Story of Death & Life 515 reviews Don Piper, Cecil Murphey
Revell, 2004
6,008 years out of Heaven, and counting...
+ Touching and intriguing + Devastation to Hope
Donald Piper, following his accident, visited Heaven for 90 minutes, then returned to planet Earth to tell us about it. IMHO, evangelicals should stop their nitpicking. Granted: what Don saw while comatose does not quite square with Holy Scripture. But this guy had massive injuries. If Don has ...

The Tenth Circle: A Novel 230 reviews Jodi Picoult
Washington Square Press, 2006
Not my favorite **SPOILER ALERT**
I was really excited about reading this novel and was slightly disappointed by it. I thought it was going to delve more into Trixie being a cutter and the problems being raped brought. It didn't. Picoult could have done so much with the plot but I felt like she didn't give it her all. As one ...

The First Migration 1 review Daniel Logan
Sense of Wonder, 2005
A ripping yarn
A fast paced, well thought out novel of how we on the earth came to be here. Logan assembles just enough science to make you think it might just have happened the way he describes and, most importantly, sprinkles his book with both believable characters, including the President, and characters you ...

The Devil Wears Prada 1025 reviews Lauren Weisberger
Anchor, 2006
Great Read
+ A must have. + Uneven
I just loved this book! I thought that the writing was brilliant. Towards the end though it did get repetitive about just how bad her boss was. I wanted to say, "Okay, I get it already!" It was a bit much. But all in all, I really enjoyed it and would highly recommend it.
