In many ways, Robert Schimmel is the Lenny Bruce of our times. After experiencing his performance at the Denver Comedy Works this past weekend, I read this memoir chronicling his deeply-personal, life-and-death battle with Stage III non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Bob is a stand-up comedian best known for his controversial sexual material and self-deprecating sense of humor, his HBO performances, and ...             April Fool's Day39 reviews Bryce Courtenay Penguin Books Ltd, 1998 A challenge APRIL FOOL'S DAY was the hardest book Bryce Courtenay ever wrote, and it's also one of the hardest books I ever read. I started it (the first time) on a Friday evening and did nothing but read (and occasionally try to sleep) until I had finished it -- I couldn't imagine stepping out of the middle of the story into my own life. I've read this book, given it away, bought it again, several times: ...             In Conversation with God: Meditations for Each Day of the Year (7 Volume Set)20 reviews Francis Fernandez Scepter Publishers, 1993 Worth the expense If you are looking to follow the liturgical year, but the Liturgy of the Hours has left you feeling like you want something more, then I can't recommend this series more highly. It is very hard-hitting, but not theologically complex. It stresses holiness, and adds praticality (not the other way around). The author is very sacramental, very well-versed in Church teaching and the Fathers of ...             How to Heal a Broken Heart in 30 Days: A Day-by-Day Guide to Saying Good-bye and Getting On With Your Life29 reviews Howard Bronson, Mike Riley Broadway, 2002 Simplistic Title, Substantive Book I thought this would be an easy read. Boy, was I wrong. Well, it *was* easy to read because it is very clearly written, and very direct and focused. It took me longer than expected to read because the SUBSTANCE of the book is so compelling. The chapters and exercises really hit home and provoke a lot of contemplation and action. I have already ordered a copy for a friend and highly recommend ...             The Rhythm of Life : Living Every Day with Passion and Purpose33 reviews Matthew Kelly, 2004 Balance The Rhythm of Life is a book that I keep going back to. It brings back that life is made up of choices. The choices we make reflect on how balanced our life can/should be. Happiness is not brought about by the amount of "stuff" we have, but by the substance we share physically, mentally, and spiritually within ourselves and others. I've been told that a happy home consists of a good coffee maker ...             Seven Days in January: With the 6th SS-Mountain Division in Operation NORDWIND21 reviews Wolf T. Zoepf, Theodore Mataxis The Aberjona Press, 2001 A little known, 7 days battle, is expertly analysed in the operational and tactical level Although the emphasis that this book gives to the "technical" aspects of the operation "Nordwind" and the fine accuracy of the terminology may cause some readers to avoid it, it is a very interesting and thought provoking analysis of the battles that the famous 6th SS Mountain Division fought in Alsace. The first 56 pages are devoted to that division's operations in Finland where, in late 1944, ...             The 36-Hour Day, 4th edition: A Family Guide to Caring for People with Alzheimer Disease, Other Dementias, ...47 reviews Nancy L. Mace, Peter V. Rabins The Johns Hopkins University Press, 2006 A must read This is an excellent book. It is written in a warm and caring manner which is easy to understand. It is full of information not just for anyone dealing with a dementia patient, but for anybody who is caring for another person, (or who may think at some point they will). It covers subjects which apply to the caring of anyone who is ill and/or elderly, even if it is not dementia. I would ...             The Wizard of Oz and Other Narcissists: Coping with the One-Way Relationship in Work, Love, and Family75 reviews Eleanor Payson Julian Day Publications, 2002 The Wizard of Oz and Other Narcissists: Coping with the One-way relationship in work, love, and family The Wizard of Oz and Other Narcissists: Coping with the One-Way Relationship in Work, Love, and Family ASIN:0972072837 The author begins with a wonderful introduction explaining a narcissist and where the termilogoy originated.

Michael Wilcox Shadow Mountain, 2001 Probably the most complete book about swimming I've readed a lot of books about swimming and I must declare that this one is probably the best. It analise every aspect of this sport and supported by an impressionant bibliography it can separate facts from suppositions and errors. This book has helped me to understand the deepest aspect of training and swim propulsion in the four strokes, and it can be well used in addiction with other ...             David: 90 Days With a Heart Like His (Personal Reflections Series)13 reviews Beth Moore B&H Publishing Group, 2006 Excellent self-guided study Each day there are about 2-3 pages of commentary and instruction from Beth Moore followed by 2 or 3 questions to consider and a space with a suggested prayer starter.

Writing a book is easy. Getting it "just right" is the hard part. Lagom, as the authors of Modern-Day Vikings tell us is the Swedish delight of getting things in the right proportion, including what is fitting and appropriate, no more, no less, and, in this case, writing a bok about one's people without being either overbearing or falsely modest. Not too many of us, I suspect, ...             Forty Days in the Wilderness with My Father13 reviews Henry L. Skaggs Jr. Abel Publishing, 2002 Mighty Man of GOD This is a MUST read!!

Skinner's writing is evocative. He brings to life various places around the globe including Haiti's cities and countryside, Romanian ...             A Good Day Anyway: My Poetic Journal of Cancer Survival14 reviews Dave Massey BookSurge Publishing, 2007 Encouragment for the cancer patient and their loved ones. I bought one of the first copies of A Good Day Anyway. My review has been a long time coming. Dave Massey is my son. I have read his poems over and over for the past 10 years. Each time they bring tears to my eyes. Tears of joys, he won two battles with cancer. Tears of pride, he wrote most of them when he was barely able to hold a pen or pencil. Tears of thanks, to the Doctors and Nurses ...             Days With Frog and Toad19 reviews Arnold Lobel Amer School Pub, 1982 Pleased with purchase I received this book in brand new condition and quick shipping.

Thanks             A New Adventure Every Day: 541 Simple Ways to Live With Pizzazz16 reviews David Silberkleit Sourcebooks, Inc., 2002 Great book for anyone who wants to live life to the fullest I've read a bunch of self-help books (100's at least) - and while many of them are good, most are focused on techniques, exercises, writing down your values, etc. That's great, but none of them have given me what this book has: the ability to go and play and be happy. And really, that's all I ever wanted out of those other self-help books. David's book is amazing, because through his ideas, you ...              search for books adventure, alzheimer, character, conversation, cookbook, day-by-day, dementias, division, face-to-face, good-bye, included, interacting, meditations, modern-day, monstrous, mountain, narcissists, nordwind, operation, practical, reflections, relationship, scriptural, ss-mountain, strategies, stronger, survival, toughest, wilderness, womenheart books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
