The Five Love Languages: How to Express Heartfelt Commitment to Your Mate

Gary Chapman

What I learned after 25 years of Marriage
Everyone has heard that opposites attract, but then how do these two opposites communicate after all the excitement has worn off? I learned that my love language was quality time talking together and my husband's was words of affirmation. I would have never figured this out on my own. I have been giving this book as a wedding present because I realized that young couples need it as much as ...

A Simple but Effective Parenting Plan!!
Since reading this book and putting the principals into practice I have received many comments about how the kids have really "matured lately". My children and I have noticed our relationships have improved not only between us as parent & child but also between them as siblings. This book was such an easy read in respect to principals, sometimes not so easy with regard to conviction of bad ...

The Dark Side: The Inside Story of How The War on Terror Turned into a War on American Ideals
56 reviews
Jane Mayer
Doubleday
, 2008
Crimes, lies and videotape
"Sunlight is the best disinfectant", U.S. Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis once wrote, so Jane Mayer's stunning new look at the Bush administration's secret torture program inverts that quote into the perfect title of her book..."The Dark Side". In fact, she might have subtitled it, "Total Eclipse". It's bad enough that the president (so easily led as some in the White House have surmised) ...

The story no one has heard yet
I quickly realized, by the third chapter, that all of the spin by the GOP and Dems and media is so far out of context as to completely miss the point of who this woman really is. The usual talking heads are comparing her to the status quo, looking at her through the lenses of the political parties, and therefore are missing the real story entirely. In a nutshell, this is the story of a ...

The 1st Book You Need
This book is the 1st book you should read when coming home from the hospital (or shortly before having the baby). I had a very fussy baby and the soothing techniques shared in this book are an amazing education on how to care for a fussy child when nothing else works. The results are immediate.

The Game
Thanks Style, not only have you given hope to shlubs like me, but you have demonstrated that self-improvement, while done to get women, is still a good thing. Over the last 3 years you have done little more than learn how to become an interesting person. I only wish that some of the bores in my life would take the time to learn how to be a little more interesting. Of course, living in Washington ...

The Wrecking Crew: How Conservatives Rule
16 reviews
Thomas Frank
Metropolitan Books
, 2008
A Smart Defense of Liberalism
What I like about this book and its author is that he can state a case for liberalism and government that creates a framework for intelligent discussion as to the clash between the free markets and central government. In the extreme, this is the division between Capitalism and Communism. The book makes the case that Conservatives have conspired to destroy the government and the confidence the ...

The perfect math book to relearn the basics
My daughter is starting high school this fall and I just didn't feel she was prepared to handle the math that was coming her way. I searched the internet for math games and instruction but couldn't find much for her age..(most of the games were geared for younger children). A friend let me borrow this book and my daughter and I just ran with this. We did a chapter a day together and they are ...
