Jesus said, "All things are possible to him who believes." Mark ...

I like Goosebumps because I like scary things even though goosebumps don't really scare me. I have also read 22 Goosebumps. I find them very intersting. They seem to actually be happening around you!

A Whole New Mind
An overwhelming wake up call for the "go to school, get good grades, get a good paying job" thinkers. I want to give this book to my kids especially my youngest who is interested in getting her MBA. The new staple for a changing educational and economical future. If you don't read this book, you are limiting yourself.

Great book for kids - and grownups too!
This is a wonderful book. The story is engaging and believable, the characters are fully fleshed out, and the illustrations are terrific. Kids will relate to Alexandrea's struggles to adapt to her new life in Harlem, and her efforts to deal with her well-meaning stage mother. Funny and heartwarming, I really cared what happened to Alexandrea and her mother, and I can't wait for the next book in ...

Remarkable insight and lucidity
I was surprised how much insight and depth was presented in this book. It was enlightening to read what a genius has to say about his art/craft. He was surprisingly clear about what jazz means to him and to everyone. The broad-scope of this book was terrific. And it was beautifully written.... I really enjoyed this book.

What a nice change!
Unlike most self-help books out there, this one is actually based on research for a change. Based on this Phd's work on how people change, this guy has uncovered the different, predictable stages of change that people go through when they attempt to get themselves to change. Although the stages are fairly predictable, not everybody goes through them in the exact same order as some people skip ...

Finally!
Help! This book made me into the class "know it all". I'm in school starting my second career and I need to know anatomy. I was suppose to learn it for my first career but it never stuck. After reading Dr. Dimon's book I'm finding I know more than I thought I could know and it has been so easy. I'm begining to understand the intelligence of our design and the names of all the bones and muscles ...

Could change our lives
I found this book to be really thought provoking. It took me a while to read because it really brought up a lot of issues from my own childhood and helped me to examine them in light of how I raise my kids. I think that following the advice of this book is more difficult than using to time outs and rewards. However, in the long run I believe in the idea of working with your children with ...

Great fun for adults and kids
If you're one of those who loves the zoetrope at the local museum, this book makes you feel like you took a piece of it home with you! My whole family enjoyed it. I think it will make a great birthday present for some of our young friends.

wonderful book
I find it surprising that no one has reviewed this book yet. I picked this up while I was on vacation, and of course I had numerous past wrongs that were stewing in the back of my mind (as we all do). This book is down to earth and written in an easy style. I thought I could never forgive some people that had wronged me "based on principle" and that I was not "a forgiving person". This book ...

Wonderful series of books, however...
I was recently reminded of the Betsy-Tacy books I loved so much when I was a young girl. You can not imagine my horror at seeing the current editions' illustrations of the girls, though. Part of the original books' charm was the simple illustrations. Whoever decided to change them should be ashamed. Ashamed and fired. Seriously. Contact me if you want to join a campaign to have the real ...

Alexander is definately moving...off the charts!
Alexander, Who's Not (Do you hear me? I mean it!) Going to move by Judith Viorst is a great childrens book. It is wonderfully illustrated by Robin Preiss Glasser. The storyline is realistic and approaches a subject in a creative style. It is attractive to young readers and manages to shed light on Alexander's negative feelings towards moving. Alexander ends up happy and so will the reader.

Funny and Sweet
This book is written with a lazy humor that is hard to find. It literally made me laugh out loud at some of the situations and I found it a very enjoyable read for teens of all age. Though, as the title hints, it does focus on a girl losing her virginity, there are also life lessons along the way. Overall, definitely a worthy read!

If you're moving to Canada, read this book!
This is the most thoroughly readable how-to book I have seen on moving to Canada. It is practical and authoritative and has helped my quest for emigration greatly. It's a good investment and the perfect 'starter' book for anyone with thoughts of becoming an ex-pat by moving north of the border.

Excellent easy to read leadership book
I found this book very engaging and was able to read through it without multiple pickups. By this I mean, that I didn't put it down for a few weeks and then pick it up again. Instead, I read through it in about four days. Overall, the book was very good. The only area I would have liked to have seen greater depth was in the decision making process. This was one of the shorter chapters and I felt ...
Allie Finkle's Rules For Girls: Moving Day

A surefire hit
Allie Finkle is nine years old, but she has issues --- serious issues. First of all, she accidentally touched her friend's uvula with a spatula, and now Mary Kay is barely speaking to her. She also must think about the bombshell her parents recently dropped on her --- that they are moving from their lovely suburban split-level to a haunted fixer-upper in another town where she faces the prospect ...
