Food For The Soul: Selections From The Holy Apostles Soup Kitchen Writers Workshop
1 review
Seabury Books
, 2004
Beautiful collection of writings
From a soup kitchen, you get some very down-to-earth writings, but they're also very beautiful writings. Diverse as the authors themselves, the poetry and prose in this book is fun to read, revealing, and thought-provoking. It's also very revealing just how deep and wonderful these folks are - don't judge them because they go to a soup kitchen, read their short works and see what's inside ...

Insightful and Hilarious
Susan Shapiro's memoir sparkles with humor and insight that any writer could put to good use. Every chapter chronicles her courtship of and relationship with a different literary mentor, each of whom she psychoanalyzes into a substitute familial role - the emotionally available father, the kind older brother, the intellectually-minded maternal figure. What makes this work is Shapiro's endearing ...

Cheaters.
I highly recommend this book because of it's non-judgemental tone. The author just puts out there what she actually hears and doesn't try to interperate it. Women cheat, most likely, because of boredom in a relationship, NOT because they dislike their partners. This book is higly insightful and interesting to those of us who have been in long-term relationships. If you are interested in this sort ...

Transcends its Genre
As a guy, I was slightly wary of anything that might be deemed Chick-lit, but a friend had praised it highly and wanted to know what I thought. I also had read Only as Good as Your Word: Writing Lessons from My Favorite Literary Gurus and found it hilarious, so if I was going to try out this genre it would be something from this author. Anyway, I had only planned to read a few pages to see what ...
Little White Lies, Deep Dark Secrets: The Truth About Why Women Lie

Fascinating...because it's all too true.
Little White Lies, Deep Dark Secrets is a nonjudgmental research project about a topic that's all too familiar to all of us. Barash's interviewees vary in ages and social classes, and may live miles from one another, but each has found a reason to lie to a family member, friend or work colleague. I found this fascinating because it's all too true and because women do it to save face and to ...

An Amazing Story--An Incredible Read
I was given this book for Christmas--not knowing anything about the contents or author. And what a terrific gift it turned out to be! I was "hooked" on the first page----and hated to put it down until I was finished. It truly is a page-turner and holds your interest from beginning to end. There are so few books like that----but this is truly one of the best. It's the story of a woman's search for ...

Guiltless
John Nagy
Reveille Press
, 2007
"Guiltless" captures the reader by presenting the antidote to fear, shame, stuckness and deep underlying guilt. We all have these feelings, but unless faced and understood, very little will change through the course of one's life. This "crossover roadmap" to peace uses deep healing principles found in countless metaphysical, spiritual and twelve-step mind studies, but presents them with everyday language and examples. The reader will be ...
