A surprise hit
I wasn't expecting much from this book, really. It was given to us as a gift, and I sort of set it aside in the book basket. My wiley children pulled it out one day for a read, and it has been on the top of the heap ever since. The text isn't much. But oh, the illustrations. The pictures are full-page cut-paper collages and they will suck you in, as your kids point out all these little ...

One for Joseph Campbell
This was my favorite Dr. Seuss, and one of the books that stuck with me. I came across it recently while I also happened to be reading Campbell's Transformations of Myth Through Time. A young man, beset with the travails of life, sets off to find paradise. The premise having been set, this story is actually predominantly about his many encounters and experiences on the road to paradise -- ...

One of the Best Ever Written
You may have once wandered through an art gallery and while walking between images both beautiful and banal happened upon a painting unlike few you have ever seen before. It was found placed in a more remote part of the exhibit and poorly lit thus causing you to give it a brief glimpse. At first glance, the quaint simplicity caused you to smile yet upon a second look you noticed the ...

You Don't Have to Learn Everything the Hard Way
This book was written primarily for young people. I am a middle aged parent of children aged 9 - 26 and a grandparent of 2. Aunt Laya speaks to all readers, young and old. She speaks with wisdom and respect and from a place of understanding. Reading this book was more than a place to receive advice and information. The reading itself was something experiential for me. It covers so much ...

Hope for the Future!
This is so much more than a Christian parenting book...you will have to read this book more than once! It is definitely one you will want to read more carefully with a highlighter in hand. DeMuth offers truly practical advice to 'Pioneer Parents' who may not have had the best model for raising Godly children and fostering faith in their home. She walks each pioneer through her own journey and ...

A Teacher With Tourette Syndrome (TS)
I too am a teacher with Tourette Syndrome (TS) and have experienced many of the same things that author Brad Cohen describes in this fascinating book. All of his life, Cohen has worked to overcome his disability. Even when he became ultimately successful, Cohen has still experienced difficulties. For example, even as an adult, he has been asked to leave restaurants and other public events. A few ...

Protect Yourself!
These stories are about people that had a gun when they needed one. You don't hear about these in the paper. You only hear about the ones (Usually DEAD) that didn't have one. Good read!

One of the best sports autobiographies ever
In this baseball season where my favorite team is floundering in the cellar, and every good story(compelling divisional races) is counterbalanced by the bad (steroids), I have been trying to maintain interest by re-reading some baseball books that I have read over the years. After re-reading "I Had A Hammer", I remember why it remains one of the best biographies/autobiographies that I have ever ...

Ten Gifts is an excellent title
Was laying in bed in the early fall of 2000, and was flipping the stations on my radio when I came upon a cool radio show out of New York City, called the Joey Reynolds Show, where he had this wonderful lady on who had authored this book The Ten Gifts. She was joyful , funny, but not stuffy. Let me also note that I am non religious. The book grew out of a tragic situation that sadly few ...

Old MacDonald Had a Wedding
Old MacDonald Had a Wdding is a delightful book for Children 2 to 100. The illustrations are bright, cheerful, humorous and full of surprises. The rhyme is cute and easy for a 6 year old to read. The older children enjoy guessing the tie-ins with the standard nursery rhymes. I find children (and adults) reading this book over and over to their friends.
I Had It All the Time: When Self-Improvement Gives Way to Ecstasy

Alan Cohen
Alan Cohen Publications

Great Book! A nice diversion from the self-help norm.
I found this book by Alan Cohen much better and different in style than anything written by Wayne Dyer (who is very good) if that helps put my review into perspective. Refreshing, insightful, and uplifting yet down to earth in a spiritual way (which is what are all doing of course).

She wrote about her childhood and the journey that led her to journalism. The author related how publicity usually aids in solving cases and apprehending the guilty,but not always.

Hilarious, but spooky. Genius.
This book sits in a conspicuous semi-hidden drawer in my living room coffee table. I'm always hoping someone will open the drawer and start reading it... I think they would become completely engrossed, but would also start looking out the corner of their eyes for what might get them! Some of MY friends might break out in a cold sweat, throw down the book and go running out the door! The pages of ...
