Weiss Fireside, 1988 Great book Fun read I read this book today! It's the type of book that keep's you hanging on. It is worth reading. Weiss does not go into a lot of psychological explanation relating what happens with Catherine. The book is so well written that I read the whole thing in a day after putting it up for sale on Amazon. When I got a "sold ship now" notice, I decided to glance it over and got hooked. I don't even recall ...             23 Minutes in Hell180 reviews Bill Wiese Charisma House, 2006 Hell Smells Like Poop Fun for kids and adults alike, "23 Minutes in Hell" is populated with adorable characters and silly descriptions of a magical place author Bill Wiese calls "Hell." You'll fall in love with the silly monsters and goofy creatures as well as marvel that the way Wiese squeezes comedy out of any situation. A COMEDY CLASSIC! PS - There's no shame in mentioning both 9/11 and the Holocaust to make ...             World Without End395 reviews Ken Follett Dutton Adult, 2007 Why did it have to end? Great book! Having read "The Pillars of the Earth" earlier this year, I didn't wait long to pick up this volume. The first three hundred pages were very reminiscent of the first book, but then it came into its own. Contrary to the few reviewers on this site who panned the book as dull and its characters as poorly developed, I enjoyed the book thoroughly. In fact, this 60 year old college professor was ...             90 Minutes in Heaven: A True Story of Death & Life499 reviews Don Piper, Cecil Murphey Revell, 2004 Beautiful story of a brave man When I went to my hairdresser, he was reading "90 Minutes In Heaven" and when I asked him about it, he told me he felt it was a good book but hadn't finished reading it yet. I liked the title so ordered the book and enjoyed it very much. The author's description of heaven gave me a feeling of peace. Even though he is a man of great faith, he endured many painful trials. The fact that he ...             The Book Thief404 reviews Markus Zusak Knopf Books for Young Readers, 2007 One of the best books i've ever read! I have never felt compelled to write a review until now because I feel so strongly about this book. This story is told from such a unique perspective and is so creatively written. There is so much heart and feeling in this book that i was sad for it to come to an end. I will definitely be reading it again and I've been recommending it to everyone, and so far I've gotten nothing but positive ...             Younger You10 reviews Eric R. Braverman McGraw-Hill, 2006 Your Personal AgePrint A few years ago I read The Edge Effect and got impressed with the work of Dr Braverman. Now in "Younger You" I found even more evidence that feeling younger... and getting younger is a feasible option for just about everyone. Each of us can reach for a longer and healthier old age by applying what Dr Braverman outlines in such eloquent way. The AgePrint worksheet in this book is incredible ...             Tuesdays with Morrie: An Old Man, a Young Man, and Life's Greatest Lesson2112 reviews Mitch Albom Broadway, 2002 A heartfelt reminder of the important things in life. After reading so many spectacular reviews, I decided to give this book a whirl myself, and I'm so thankful I did. First of all, I hate to read. Well, let me rephrase that. I USED to hate to read. Doing so much reading in college leaves me with little energy outside of schoolwork to read, but I quickly polished this book off in two sessions. This book grabs you almost immediately and reels you ...             Death of a Salesman (Penguin Plays)202 reviews Arthur Miller Penguin (Non-Classics), 1998 Rat Race Lost, State of Denial Hopeless fathers & sons were a favorite theme of Miller. The pressure of failing aspirations. The horror of failure. Drawn between overconfidence and self-doubt. Flashbacks on scenes from a dreary life. Lies to others and oneself. Failures in job and family. The play is one of the quintessential pieces of modern American theater. Its themes are known and have been expounded endlessly. Why is it ...             The Art of Dying1 review Peter Fenwick, Elizabeth Fenwick Continuum International Publishing Group, 2008 Bringing Death to Light Dylan Thomas's feelings surrounding his father's death were "Rage, rage against the dying of the light". Death was something to be fought. It's an enemy, not a friend to be welcomed. While the Fenwicks might not swing to the opposite side, they do suggest our culture is obsessed with prolonging life. As a result, we have lost the ability to help people to die a good death. "Hi-tech around the ...             The Memory Keeper's Daughter861 reviews Kim Edwards Penguin (Non-Classics), 2006 A real page turner I am so stunned by all of the negative reviews on this book! I think I tend to be very critical of books, and have a very short list of favorites. I absolutely loved this book. I thought the characters were very well-developed, and the author's writing positively flowed. The relationships portrayed were so realistic and believable that I was not surprised to read the interview with the author ...             The Innocent Man92 reviews John Grisham Dell, 2007 Another true crime high! I'm not a big Grisham fan but I loved reading this book by him because the story is true. Reading true crime stories is a real high for me because it never ceases to amaze me how some real murders are so much more gruesome and unbelievable than fictional ones. I give this book 5 stars and if you're like me a real true crime junkie I suggest you take a look at Death Penalty USA: 2003 - 2004, my ...             What Happens When We Die?: A Groundbreaking Study into the Nature of Life and Death13 reviews Sam Parnia Hay House, 2007 Death Is A Pleasant Experience Have you ever wondered what it is like to die? Have you ever wondered about "near death experiences" or "out of body experiences"? Then this is book is for you. Sam Parnia, MD, PhD in "What Happens When We Die" covers the history of near-death experiences (NDEs), the results of studies to date on NDEs, conventional and non-conventional theories on what causes NDEs, and implications for future ...             Death Perception (Psychic Eye Mysteries, Book 6)11 reviews Victoria Laurie Signet, 2008 Abby and Co. take Vegas! Love, love, love Victoria Laurie books! This one does not disappoint, if anything, I am amazed at how she is developing the characters and the plots more and more with each book. This adventure, right on the heels of "Crime Seen" moves the action from Michigan to Vegas (and if ya notice my screen name, ya know I'm a happy girl!) And lots of action there is. Dutch's cousin Chase is kidnapped ...             Surprised by Hope: Rethinking Heaven, the Resurrection, and the Mission of the Church31 reviews N. T. Wright HarperOne, 2008 Powerful insights & lifechanging truth I believe this book is destined to be a "Christian classic" along the lines of C.S. Lewis's best works. Being more succinct than Wright's previous tomes, it is much easier to digest and has, in turn, a greater impact on the reader. I say this having read most of what N.T. Wright has written. The central of truth of the kingdom of heaven being inaugurated with Christ's life, death and ...             Heaven152 reviews Randy Alcorn Tyndale House Publishers, 2004 Heaven, by Randy Alcorn Randy Alcorn did a superb job of painting a potentially realistic picture of Heaven. He used numerous Scriptural references as well as his imagination, to come up with his descriptions of what may very well be what Heaven will be like for believers. I recommend it highly as a book that can encourage us in our daily lives and comfort us as we face the death of loved ones and our own immortality.             Change of Heart: A Novel177 reviews Jodi Picoult Atria, 2008 Oh my... Sometimes Jodi Picoult hits a homer, and other times just a single or double. Change of Heart is a grand slam, built around the impact of a death row inmate upon the lives of three unrelated people who are drawn into his story by the circumstances of their own lives. Shay Bourne has exhausted his appeals and is scheduled to die in a few weeks. His last wish is to donate his heart to the daughter ...             The Perks of Being a Wallflower1266 reviews Stephen Chbosky MTV, 1999 Freakin' Awesome This book is amazing. It's full of weird things, comedy, and of course some serious stuff. It has changed people's life but it my not change yours. I would recommend this to people 14 yrs. old and up. Also, anyone who has felt alone, scared, or just hasn't been able to fit in anywhere. What it's about is a boy named Charlie (that's not his real name. He doesn't use real ones) who is scared about ...              search for books changed, daughter, deathly, greatest, groundbreaking, hallows, happens, innocent, lecture, masters, minutes, mission, mysteries, past-life, patient, penguin, perception, prominent, psychiatrist, psychic, resurrection, rethinking, salesman, salvation, surprised, therapy, tuesdays, wallflower, without, younger books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
