Heartfelt
I rarely write book reviews. But I felt compelled to write this one when I reread parts of this book last night after having bought it seven years ago! I purchased the book about a year before I adopted my first Corgi. She was 9 years old at the time. And she's two months shy of her 15th birthday today. She's added so much to my life. This book was written with a great dose of love and ...
Really Important Stuff My Kids Have Taught Me

Great for Adults Too
I gave this book to my entire business unit. I think most books on business, how to make a company better, etc. make things too complicated. If you really read each point in this book, it just applies to everything we do in both our personal and business lives. It's how I want my co-workers to behave and treat others. Take for example, the first one- "Jump right in or you might change your ...
The Lost Thing: For Those Who Have More Important Things to Pay Attention to

Rich design and deep message
The lost thing is about isolation and indifference. The hero of the story is a bottle-top collector that suddenly finds a very interesting thing and decides to help it find its place. It makes funny of our busy and boring day-to-day life, of how indifferent we are to what happens around us. I laugh aloud every time I read the book; Shaun's humor is so unique! The story is told in a very ...

Great advice for anyone married.
This is a great book for both Husband and Wife to read and study together. In it are discussed the issues that make difficult marriage and relationships. More importantly, solutions and practical advice are offered for each issue raised. The authors, two couples, are all Christian and are counselors, including marriage and relationships. I had a great 30 yr marriage that ended due to cancer ...

excellent--from a young 'crone at heart'.
I appreciate crones' wisdom, and relate a lot better to them than women my own age (26). You see, I have very little interest in man-catching, child-bearing, looking 'sexy', or using my body to get what I want. I'm not saying all women my age do ONLY these things, but it seems like many--even Wiccans and Pagans--at least care about one (or more) of these things some of the time. Which I don't. ...
The World According to Mister Rogers: Important Things to Remember
32 reviews
Hyperion, 2003
Fred was a good neighbor...
Those of us who grew up with Mister Rogers will never forget him. He never talked down to us. He instead chose to speak to us as equals. He wasn't trying to sell us anything, make us "feel cool," or make us part of an "exclusive club." He told us always to remember: "I like you just the way you are." He was arguably the healthiest cult of personality ever produced by mass media. This tiny book ...
Happiness: A Guide to Developing Life's Most Important Skill

Matthieu Ricard

, 2006
The Need for Practice
This is just a footnote to the other reviews, especially the one that wants more of the "how" to implement the author's suggestions. Ricard is one of the finest students of one of the finest teachers of the Tibetan tradition as is, for example, the very popular author Pema Chödrön. Chödrön's books and "Happiness" by Ricard share the same characteristic: they make great inspirational reading BUT ...

The Perfect Guide for Weddings - Inspirational - Resourceful - A Perfect Helping Hand
Being a wedding officiate for four years, I wish I had found this book for my first wedding. This book gives it all to you. The ABC's of a Wedding. Out of all the books I have purchased over the years (now collecting dust) this is the book that stays within my reach at all times. You have just become engaged, now what, or you have been officiating for a while and need something to inspire you ...
Biblical Literacy: The Most Important People, Events, and Ideas of the Hebrew Bible

Joseph Telushkin
William Morrow
, 1997
The Good Book through very honest eyes
I've seen the Hebrew Bible explained by true believers of several kinds, or critics of various sorts. But never have I seen it examined with such open curiosity. With Rabbi Telushkin as a guide, I was struck as never before by the Bible's painful honesty. It faithfully records the pain of inhumanity and the cost of each moral victory. But I seem to need an unblinking guide like Telushkin to ...

Your Coach in a Box
, 2007
A strategic approach to negotiations
Most books on negotiation combine the hardball win-lose tactics with the more effective win-win approach. 3-D Negotiation is different: it adds a new third dimension to negotiation, mainly the need for developing a dynamic strategy on how to set up and shape the optimum situation and overall conditions for negotiations (away from the table), and well before negotiations start. Of course, the ...

Loved it!
This is an excellent book by an excellent author. I've never been disappointed in one of his books and this is one of his best! I wish it could have been longer or that there were a sequel to it. The main characters are Farmer Tubbs and a lot of animals that live on his farm. I recomment this book for anyone who likes pigs, animals, or humorous stories. It's probably more of a child's book, ...
The New Human Capital Strategy: Improving the Value of Your Most Important Investment--Year After Year
8 reviews
AMACOM, 2008
This is a Great Book
As an HR practitioner, this book has become my symbol of hope for the profession. I've always known there was "something wrong" with how HR is being practiced in organizations today, but never clearly identified the root of the problem, much less offered a method for addressing it. Brad Hall's book provides that insight. Through current research and his industry experience, Hall provides ...

All Women Must Read This Book!
I wish I had read this book years ago. It is a must read for every woman going through divorce, child rearing, or troubled interpersonal relationships. For centuries women have been told how to behave and what their roles should be in the family and society. Seldom have we been taught how to acheive what is good for ourselves or the importance of personal happiness. As women we have been told ...

Dogs Rule!
I think this (or Make Way for Ducklings) was my first library book. At any rate, it starated me on a lifelong love of reading--and dogs! The illustrations capture every nuance of a dog's body language--you can practically feel Angus' warm little tummy as he stands up to reach something high. The story is not babyfied, but, as another reviewer indicates, is told with an intelligent vocabulary. ...
The Most Important Fish in the Sea: Menhaden and America
11 reviews
H. Bruce Franklin
Island Press
, 2007
Wow! Who knew?! Maybe menhaden ARE the most important fish in the sea...at least along the Atlantic seaboard.
Franklin weaves a compelling tale that includes the biology, natural history, fishery development, politics, and ecological significance of menhaden to marine communities along the Atlantic seaboard of North America. Menhaden are unusual fish. They are filter-feeders that can strain phytoplankton, tiny free-floating photosynthtic organisms, out of the water. That diet causes menhaden to ...
The Most Important Place On Earth : What a Christian Home Looks Like and How to Build One

, 2004
Uplifting, encouraging and challenging - great read.
An absolutely outstanding read - very uplifting, very challenging. Author of She Calls Me Daddy!, Wolgemuth explores the various unique elements that make a Christian home different than just any other home. While the book has many practical suggestions that Wolgemuth shares from his own experience (good and bad), the primary emphasis of this book is to get the reader to feel, not think, about ...

astonishing
There are poems in this volume that will make you laugh, more that will break your heart, still more that will make you gasp in amazement, and still more that will make you recognize you've just made a huge discovery in Lisa Haynes. The poems each carry an individual power, but their collective effect is exponentially more intense. It's been a while since I've read a book of poetry that really ...

Just like the title - "The Most Important Lesson" no one should miss
In this book, Newburg used the power of stories to share meaningful life lessons he learned from remarkable people he came to know in his life. These lessons can be applied to all areas in life so you will no longer need a bookcase full of self-help books to tell you how to manage your time, lose weight, find a mate, get the job you love and so on. Newburg helps you answer all the important ...
