The Prodigal God: Recovering the Heart of the Christian Faith

Timothy Keller
Dutton Adult
, 2008
incredible, provocative book
I really enjoyed this short, thoughtful and easy to grasp book. Pastor Keller does a great job at addressing people from both sides of the spiritual spectrum and showing us the potential pitfalls of "lostness". God used it to convict me of several "elder brother" tendencies that I have and to show me more clearly the glorious riches of His free mercies to me in Christ. A great read- also worth ...

Wonderful
In the week I have had this book, I have tried four recipes from the first region featured (Trentino-Alto Adige): Country Salad, Spaghetti in Tomato-Apple Sauce, Whole-Grain Spaetzle, and Beef Braised in Beer. All were so simple that I feared the results would be boring, but all turned out to be delicious.

Heart of Darkness - Dover Edition
This book was purchased for my daughter for her high school class (she is a junior). It was recommended by edition from her teacher, for academic review. They recommend this book for school because the other edition is just a Barnes and Nobles Classic. I had to purchase this online because Barnes and Nobles does not have it on the shelf unless they order it for you. I just order it myself when ...

Great book
My 6 1/2 year old daughter just loves Fancy Nancy books. She is always excited to see them when they come in. Now that she is reading they are more exciting to her. Great book with another, great story line.

Lifechanging book
If you have a son, boyfriend, husband, dad, brother, know a man, or are a man I think this book would be useful to you. Among other things, this book made me appreciate why guys want a "man room" - as long as it is within my power, my future husband will have one.

Refreshing!
I found this book so refreshing ... aiming towards a child's attitude of the heart to bring them closer to God thru loving discipline. Teaching a child to submit to parent's authority also teaches them to submit to God's authority. What a wonderful lesson to learn!

A Wild and Extraordinary Ride Down a Lost Highway ...
The Lost Highway of the American Dream. I love social satire. I don't need my characters to be loveable; I don't even need them to be likeable. I just need them to be what they are, even if it's revolting. Now, I wasn't old enough to remember much from the late 60's early 70's let alone the political aspects of Nixon's presidency or the drug culture of the time, so this review won't have ...
The Family: The Secret Fundamentalism at the Heart of American Power

Jeff Sharlet
Harper Perennial
, 2009
"Jeff Sharlet has done evangelicals a favor by showing us that in the case of the Family, the emperor really is naked."
Quoting Amicus Dei, Jeff Sharlet has done evangelicals a favor by showing us that in the case of the Family, the emperor really is naked. The argument which forms the basis for the Family -- that men of authority are there because God placed them there -- is a poor exegetical attempt to justify amoral power politics. If Jesus were to have adopted the philosophy of the Family, he would have ...

When Things Fall Apart: Heart Advice for Difficult Times (Shambhala Classics)

Things don't have to be falling apart...
I was reading this before bed the other night and my boyfriend looked at me, very concerned, and asked "do you think things are falling apart?" To which I replied no. The lessons in this book, and many other from Pema Chodron are full of insight and help me to see myself for who I am. I don't think your world has to be crumbling for you to have to read this, but when things do, you might be ...

Amazing
The text of the story itself is truly fantastic, deeply psychological and probing. The Norton edition is great because it has some fantastic context, essays and other sources that really frame Conrad's work nicely. This is well worth it.

Very Good
I really enjoyed both Gena Showalter's and Maggie Shayne's Stories. Gena's was fantastic. I wasn't sure I was going to like it as it didn't really involve any of the Lords, except for Paris at one point...which was honestly my favorite part of the book, so hilarious. Paris is one of my favorite Lords. I also loved how Gena connected the story to the one coming on in May or June about Aeron and ...

A very special book
Do not read Doctor of the Heart if you expect to go to sleep before the end. It is just not possible. Not only does this book reveal true-life medical events and solutions, but they are intertwined with humor and mystery book-like situations that continue on, making it impossible to tear yourself away. Besides all this, it is a Horatio Alger rags-to-riches story as grand as any. I have known ...

Indeed, even before reading this book for my work as a Dating and Relationship Expert, I managed to live ...

Love SB calendars 365 days a Year
I have been buying SB Home of the Heart calendars every year since 2002, and I probably will continue to buy them until Susan stops making them. Never before have I been so emotionally attached to a calendar. Sounds silly, I know. My work environment at a Navy Base is visually very gray and dreary. I pin the calendar on the wall right next to my computer and every time I look at it, I feel ...
Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease: The Revolutionary, Scientifically Proven, Nutrition-Based Cure

Caldwell B. Esselstyn
Avery Trade
, 2008
An Eye-Popping experience.
Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease is eye-popping! Eating lean meat, fish and no-fat dairy products along with heart-healthy olive and canola oil liberally interspersed with lots of fruit and veggies leads to great health, yes? No!! Dr Esselstyn amply proves this completely untrue. Olive oil damages arteries. Just not as much a butter, lard, meat and oils. So do meat, eggs, fish and all ...
What French Women Know: About Love, Sex, and Other Matters of the Heart and Mind

FUN!!!
I laughed out loud so many times reading this book! The author has a great sense of humor and I found what she had to say about our differences was right on point. I love going to France - I love their style, but more important, I love their attitudes. Love is easier in France; in America it can be such a pain in the butt! Instead of getting feminist heckles raised by this book, maybe learn ...

Best price for this manual
Needed this manual to renew my BLS certification. The American Heart Association suggests 3 sources to purchase this item; all charged ridiculous shipping. Paying $7.95 shipping for an $11.00 book? FREE ship at Amazon with super saver shipping. SWEET!! Anyway, the manual is awesome, everything you need to know to get certified in Basic Life Support, and also excellent if you just want to learn ...
