However, for this book, I will make an exception. I read For Laci in one day and was amazed. I picked up the book thinking it would be one of two things: either her mother telling all about Laci but neglecting the legal aspect or a documentation of the crime. I was pleasantly surprised that it was neither. In the first section, I ...             Aspire: Discovering Your Purpose Through the Power of Words312 reviews HarperCollins e-books, 2009 Heal your life with the principles shared in this book. The wisdom Kevin shares in this book changed my life, literally. I heard Kevin speak on a conference call in the Summer of '09, and was so deeply touched and inspired by his story of how he came to know of the secret word "Genshai", which is the first word he describes in his book "Aspire". Genshai means to never treat anyone in a manner in which they feel small.....not anyone....not yourself. ...             Seabiscuit: An American Legend655 reviews Laura Hillenbrand Ballantine Books, 2002 absolute best It is one of the best books I have ever read.

This is a familiar soft glow that will guide you .. I resound with Cheryl, as if she were an alternate parallel spirit to mine. It feels like I have been searching my entire life to the answers that seem just out of reach. This reminds me of 'Autobiography of a Yogi'. This book breathes new life into that perennial classic. An analogy is 'Autobiography' was like a mouth-watering fancy cupcake that was sitting on a table out of my reach, 'Mystics' ...             Left to Tell: Discovering God Amidst the Rwandan Holocaust452 reviews Hay House, 2007 Incredible!

I LOVE this story and learned so much about myself ...             Truman325 reviews Simon & Schuster, 2003 History comes alive! For a 992 page piece of nonfiction, there are times when this biography reads like a page turner. Because the late forties, early fifties is a time period all but ignored in most public school History classes I was ignorant of many aspects of the Truman presidency, and certainly about his life in general. This tome has cleared up that problem for me! McCullough is obviously a good writer and ...             Warriors #1: Into the Wild277 reviews HarperCollins e-books, 2007 A great buy I read this a while ago and my little sister, whose 11, just read it.

Words cannot express the comfort received as I read it both randomly and as a daily reminder of God's presence in the midst of both sorrow and joy. Truly the author's interpretation of the words of Jesus as she expands on His promises, is like nothing I have ever read. I ...             Seductive Poison: A Jonestown Survivor's Story of Life and Death in the People's Temple267 reviews Anchor, 2011 Loved it This was a really good book. I really wish it was longer, very entertaining, very well written, and pretty detailed.
