Great book- especially for giving!
A few Christmas's back, my mother gave me this book as a gift. I immediately cried my eyes out just looking at the cover. To make a long story short- we never had that great of a relationships. Things were always extremely rocky and it was just because we were two different people. I thought it was such a sensitive and amazing present that she had given to me. I always read this book when I feel ...

Rick Page

McGraw-Hill, 2003

Great book for succeeding with complex (solution) sales
This book has many great ideas to help increase sales, particularly "complex sales", or sales of solutions (multiple products and/or services integrated to decrease complexity for the buyer). It covers selling from top to bottom, from individual sales people, to sales roles, to sales talent management, from strategy to tactics, from finding customers, to generating demand, to account management. ...

Surprised by Hope: Rethinking Heaven, the Resurrection, and the Mission of the Church

N. T. Wright

HarperOne, 2008

A Must Read
In this wonderful read, N. T. Wright paints a theological picture of a present day hope reality. Heaven has often been explained through the years as a futuristic reward but Surprised by Hope offers an eschatological redemption that was, and is, and that will come. This is a must read to help anyone better shape their theology.

Excellent insight into his policy aspirations
I read this book before he became the President, and now as I see the policies he has set forth and his comtemplative demeanor during these very trying times, I believe he is for real.

Loved It!

Cammie meets Zach, one of the boys from the other school. She instantly tries to dislike him but theres definitely ...

Book Review
I loved this book very much. I read it after Christmas but that didn't matter. It still brought tears to my eyes. Well-developed story with much love in it. I have a daughter who can't have children, so I wept when I read this book.

The Christmas Promise
This is the last book Donna VanLiere wrote for Christmas. This book has it's own surpise twist to it. I was amazed how she did a unique twist to it. Donna VanLiere has great talent for writing, and making her readers feel alive.

Beth Harbison

St. Martin's Press, 2009

Excellent Book!!!
I was pleasantly surprised with "Hope in a Jar." Beth Harbison combines love with intrigue with friendship with humor. I wasn't familiar with the author, but she reminds me of the "Jennifer Weiner" genre. Excellent!!

Ron Suskind

Broadway, 1999

Narrative in a grand American tradition
The difficult journey from hopelessness to "hope in the unseen," to, that is, faith that a better life awaits, is an often told story. In America, we have the "Autobiography" of Benjamin Franklin; slave narratives, like Frederick Douglass's "Narrative"; poverty-to-riches fiction like Horatio Alger's; immigrant narratives, like David Eggers's "What is the What." There is more than one account of ...

I originally saw this family on the Dr. Phil show and was so inspired by them and their story that I purchased this book. This family is truly amazing and hearing what they have been able to overcome is truly awe inspiring.

Hope
The One Year Book of Hope (One Year Books) I searched for a devotional that had some depth to it with both scripture and "digging deeper" quality to it. I found this one through a daily email I get. The book uses loss in our lives as a tool to find more of God. I was diagnosed with leukemia a few years back. The type that is chronic and slow growing. The good news is that it grows slowly, ...

Carroll Quigley

G. S. G. & Associates, Incorporated, 1975

Unconventional account of world history
I am a practicing attorney with a background in history. Having just read Tragedy and Hope, I found that it presents a fascinating survey of world history that is different from that found in college textbooks and other conventional versions of history. Unlike such conventional accounts, Quigley does not merely explain what has happened, but he explains why it has in the way that it has. ...

Jane Goodall, Phillip Berman

Grand Central Publishing, 2000

Tear-jerker
Jane Goodall is my hero, and the inspiration I gather from her gives my life so much purpose and hope. All of these feelings and aspirations were magnified after reading this book. It is an extremely powerful read, a definite crier (if you're the type.) There's an strong connection formed with the reader, and she communicates her experiences VERY effectively. Her life is absolutely epic, and this ...

America: The Last Best Hope Volumes I & II Box Set

Dr. William J. Bennett

Thomas Nelson, 2007

Solid, level-headed history
I was surprised and quite pleased with William Bennett's two-volume America: The World's Last Best Hope. Originally getting the books through The Conservative Book Club, I have to admit I approached them with a somewhat wary eye. I suppose I half expected to see Joe McCarthy hailed as an unsung American hero or read that the Depression would have ended by late 1933, had Hoover been re-elected. ...
