The Beautifully Worthless

Same Difficult World, Different Atlas
One of the recurring images in this endearing book is that of the penny--worthless (practically), yet impossible to just ignore or throw away. So it is with the footloose narrator, who refuses to live a throw-away life, in spite of herself. Comparisons to Adrienne Rich's poem, "An Atlas of the Difficult World," are inevitable, since both works cover some of the same ground; Liebegott ...

Clear, Easy steps and Idea...
I bought this for a friend who has never quilted, but had an idea of a landscape quilt in her head. After reading it, I realized that this is just the right book to start-jump a "newbie" from the starting point to where ever her imagintation will take her. Also, after reading it I am buying another copy for myself. I quilt and do some art quilts also, and this book gave me many wonderful ideas. ...

brilliant
For an architectual point of view, it covers superb floor plans, internally it gives you a peek into another world and the out door finishes are to be seen to be believed. These are coffee table books for just not any home, but every home.

The Oak Leaves
This book is a must read...a great story that is wonderfully written. Anyone who loves a good love story, whether you like historical romances or not, will be quickly captivated. The way the author moves quickly from the past to the present, keeps you turning the pages. Rarely do I find a book, as this one, so well written that I wouldn't changed a thing. You will fall in love with the ...

Kicking it up a notch for a beginner like me
This book helped me get to the next stage in my beginning art journaling. I learned why paper behaves the way it does when liquid is applied, how different adhesives work and what they're good for--tons of practical stuff for a neophyte to art journaling. I go back to it again and again. It's got great information, and it's a beautiful book to spend time with. I'll grow into it for a long time.

Possibly the most sophisticated cookbook in English
Looking back to 1970, the year this book was first published, puts its sophistications in context and underscores the enormity of its contributions. America was deep in culinary ignorance, eating out of cans and supplementing that metal-tinged blandness with gut-busting mountains of artificial 'foods'. America was lost somehwere between the post-war meat-and-potatoes era and the chemical ...

Wow - how fun is this ?!?!?!
Bought this for my 5 YO daughter - it gave her incentive to practice her printing - she wasn't allowed to attemp the drawing part until the writing part was finished. Basically, each page has three-four sentences for them to copy with a full picture already done above it on the same page. On the next page, the main object of the picture (a pig for example) is drawn with basic shapes in a ...

Simply the best instruction book on watercolor
If you like Mr. Reid work, then you'll love this one. If you have one book to buy for watercolor, then this is the only one you need. This book will teach you alot, if you are ready to invest yourself. The spontaneity usually associated with watercolor is an illusion, and this book with simple exercise will help you control this medium, and help you cause accident that others call ...

How God's Names Can Change Your Walk
Many Christians fail to study the names of God. They simply love the name Jesus. And while I too love His wonderful name (Isaiah 9:6-7), I also have come to appreciate many of the divine names found throughout the Scriptures in the original languages. Our English translations miss the power of God's names but an in-depth study of the Hebrew and Greek show the power of the names of God. In ...

Fantastic
This is a great book. It is one of the few I own on professional photography that has not been published by Amherst Media, and I think it could well be better. A great deal of lighting techniques are covered. A great deal of different situations for sessions such as modelling portfolios. In fact, I shot my first modelling/glamour session ever after reading this book and WOW! I've never ...

Wonderful
When I read the reviews for this book I couldn't believe my eyes! This is an excellent book, I have read it a countless amount of times and I never tire of it. I have read the Yellow Rose Trilogy as well and I don't see that much of a resemblance. Kaitlin, after losing her mother and her father going back to Hawaii, sets out for Santa Rosa with her younger brother and sister to acquire a ...

Illustrated Family Bible Stories: Over 200 Beautifully Illustrated Stories from the Old and New Testaments

Fabulous historical and religious volume
I can't say enough good things about this excellent family bible. Each page is a self-contained story (long accounts like the Exodus are told in several successive stories), in language that is clear to children, yet true to the original. Each story is accompanied by an illustration, and most compelling, a sidebar of historical information. That historical information, the maps which are ...

A stellar first novel!
I had not heard of Lisa Unger until I noticed her newly released paperback version of "Beautiful Lies". I read the back cover and was intrigued. I ordered the book and found that I had a hard time putting it down. The way Lisa Unger writes is very refreshing. The story is a conversation between her(the main character, Ridley Jones), and you the reader. I enjoyed that approach. I ...

Price inflation
I received this book as a gift, and it is one of my favorites. HOWEVER - could someone please explain why a book issued in 1995 at a cost of $19.95 is currently priced from $44.00 to $50.00??

Not a workbook
I ordered 7 copies of this book for my small group thinking this was the Experiencing God workbook. I wanted to make sure everyone knows this is not the workbook. The original book done a decade ago was redone and they added little questions through out the book. That is what this book is. If you are looking for the adult workbook it has a partially red cover. I can say that I love this book and ...
