He won't be parted with it, and any book that interests my kid that much has GOT to be good. The book is filled with fun projects, and is not just a father/son book (although my husband does read it with him), but also a brother/brother book, or a fun book on its own. I will probably purchase this book ...             The Expectant Father: Facts, Tips and Advice for Dads-to-Be, Second Edition245 reviews Armin A.

It's not a book about the biography about his life, what makes him a good person, etc. that you see so many other politicians come out with. Ron Paul brings out the real issues Americans should be concerned with, discusses problems with the current system, and makes recommendations on how to get back to the basics laid out by the ...             Beautiful Boy: A Father's Journey Through His Son's Addiction114 reviews David Sheff Houghton Mifflin Co, 2008 A beautiful boy The author is wonderfully expresses his pain about his loving son.

I was pleasantly surprised to find this amazing and very moving book, written with such eloquence, so heartfelt and quintessentially AMERICAN. What makes this book even more poignant and relevant is that is that it was not an election-year hack-job designed to win votes, but it was written more ...             The Road (Oprah's Book Club)1536 reviews Cormac McCarthy Vintage Books, 2007 Haunting This book stayed with me. I kept thinking about the characters and the world they lived in. What do you have to do to survive? Can you do it? The main character loses his humanity in saving his son, knowing his own end is rapidly approaching. It broke my heart several times and distubed me as well. The world covered in ash, nothing to eat other than humans or the luck of finding canned ...             What to Expect When You're Expecting: 4th Edition68 reviews Heidi Murkoff, Sharon Mazel Workman Publishing Company, 2008 very informative Really helped me, it answered alot of questions i had and addressed alot of worries for a first time mom and dad. My husband love to read it to.             Home: A Novel7 reviews Marilynne Robinson Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2008 painfully beautiful "Home" is much different than "Gilead" because the grace is not so apparent in the pain of desired forgiveness of the three main characters. However, it is just as lovely only in a more hidden sense. Deeply theological as Jack, Glory, and their father struggle to deal with the humiliation of disappointment of failed dreams and to forgive each other as they go about the quiet, mundane existence ...             To Kill a Mockingbird1755 reviews Harper Lee Grand Central Publishing, 1988 Everyone's Favorite . . . I honestly have no idea how many times I have read this book. I read it first as an assignment in the eighth grade; most recently, at the age of 41, I read it aloud to three of my children. As with the more recent readings that I recall, I choked up a bit at the end as Scout is experiencing the tragedy and love that surrounds her in the form of her conservatively eccentric father, her ...             My Boys Can Swim!: The Official Guy's Guide to Pregnancy164 reviews Ian Davis Three Rivers Press, 1999 Great Daddy Book This book had my husband chuckling all the way to the doctor's office with me!

Robert Allen, ...             Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters: 10 Secrets Every Father Should Know120 reviews Meg Md Meeker Ballantine Books, 2007 if you're a Dad, why would you NOT read this book? Good message, good examples, well-written, easy-to-read. Do I give 5 stars for everything I read? No- actually- I can think of another book on raising boys that I read that was pretty weak. But this is written by a woman who knows what she's talking about (she is a doctor who works with kids and sees their interactions with their parents). All of her points that are opinion are supported ...             John Adams766 reviews David McCullough Simon & Schuster, 2008 John Adams is a fascinating read! I had no idea John Adams was such an intelligent and fascinating man! This book not only give insight into his thoughts and ideas about the future of the United States, but also lets us in on the love and admiration he had for his wife, Abigail, who is just as intelligent and fascinating as he is. Their letters to each other just make me sad to think that letter writing is a lost art. This is ...             He Loves Me! Learning to Live In the Father's Affection27 reviews Wayne Jacobsen Windblown Media, 2007 He Loves Me For anyone who is interested in knowing more about the heart of God, this is the book for you.

Do yourself a favor and don't miss it.             Founding Brothers: The Revolutionary Generation386 reviews Joseph J. Ellis Vintage, 2002 They all hung together, more or less I thoroughly enjoyed this collection of tales about a number of the founding fathers, and their relations with each other. The opening vignette has to do with the Burr- Hamilton duel and in the course of this Ellis tells the personal history of each of the protagonists. I learned more about Burr than I learned in grade school or for that matter graduate- school , and this grandson of Jonathan ...             Guess How Much I Love You290 reviews Sam McBratney Candlewick, 1996 Children's Book The book was a good price and was delivered promptly.
