From a champion coach, to a community leader this book covers many subjects for you to debate in your mind. It really is a great learning tool for everyone from rookie leaders to experienced leaders.             Waiting in Vain447 reviews Colin Channer One World/Ballantine, 1998 Loved it The way I judge a book is simple. It's not always about whether or not the characters as a whole are completely believable or realistic (I.E. Fire who's character isn't totally realistic but he fit this novel perfectly), although in some books that matters more than others. Also,it doesn't always have to be something I personally can relate to. I judge a book on whether or not I can get into the ...             Redeeming Love727 reviews Francine Rivers Multnomah Books, 2001 Why Did I Wait So Long To Read This? Once I started reading this book I could not put it down! It truly is one of the best books that I have read in a very long time.             Seabiscuit: An American Legend656 reviews Laura Hillenbrand Ballantine Books, 2003 absolute best It is one of the best books I have ever read. It was a fascinating story from page one all the way to the last one, and I am not even a horse person. I am very happy I stumbled across it at the library.             Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul: 101 Stories of Life, Love and Learning (Chicken Soup for the Soul)478 reviews Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen, ... HCI Teens, 1997 Good Insight I am not a teen anymore, but a decade ago, I was. I never went to a public school, or delt with teenage dating, drugs, suicide, sneaking around, or all of that drama. I purchased this for a special teen in my life who has had to go to public school and face all of that. I read it before I gave it to her, and I think I learned some things that enter into the "average teen's" life. I hope she ...             These Is My Words - The Diary Of Sarah Agnes Prine, 1881-1901, Arizona Territories - A Novel274 reviews Nancy E. Turner Harper-perennial, 2009 Touching Poignant Beautiful Well over 200 reviews and over 200 with rating of 5 stars. There's obvious truth in that. Here's my two cents. It was one of the best historical reads ever in my library and believe me I've read alot. Ms. Turner wrote as Sarah and kept me captivated from the beginning to end. I did not want to put this book down. I've now started her second in the series, "Sarah's Quilt" and it is the same as ...             Martin the Warrior: A Novel of Redwall261 reviews Brian Jacques Demco Media, 1996 amazing This is in my opinion the best book of a simply amazing series. It follows the story of Martin the Warrior, a legendary character in the Redwall series. Although it wasn't the first book written in the series chronologically, it's probably the best to read first - and if you were to only read a single Redwall book it should be this. Courage, honor, romance, adventure, revenge...this book ...             The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide: Five Complete Novels and One Story (Deluxe Edition)523 reviews Douglas Adams Harmony, 2005 Laugh out loud It's hilarious, it's random, it talks about things that either only physicists know about or don't exist (i don't know the difference), and it's so complicatedly mind blowing that sometimes i feel like the book is a motorcycle i'm riding, and it gets so weird i slide backwards and am hanging on by my fingertips. The only thing that keeps me from sliding right off is the wind blowing in my ...             Tryin' to Sleep in the Bed You Made226 reviews Donna Grant, Virginia DeBerry St. Martin's Griffin, 2008 Timeless I am 26 years old. My mother is a book lover. I got the book from her when I was a child. I read it and thought it was a great book. I was at my mother's house a couple of weeks ago and saw the book again. I read it in about a week. Now that I'm older and have experienced a little more, the book is even better! I wish it was a movie. This is my dream cast: 1. Gayle :Rochelle Aytes 2. Pat: ...             Lonesome Dove : A Novel422 reviews Larry McMurtry Simon & Schuster, 2000 amazing I could have kept reading this for 10,000 pages if possible; it was that good. I was genuinely sad to see this book, and I do not say that often. I plan on reading Comanche Moon and Dead Man's Walk as soon as possible. If they are half as good as this book then I know I won't be disappointed.             Sailor Moon, Vol. 1201 reviews Naoko Takeuchi TokyoPop, 1998 very good The product was just as the described awesome im really happy , the shipping took a lil long but that is not their fault .             The Soulforge (Dragonlance Saga)222 reviews Margaret Weis Wizards of the Coast, 1998 A great insight into Raistlin Majere's past A wonderful story that will satisfy anyone looking to know the background of "The Sly One". Without ruining the story, or spoiling the plot, this book details Raistlin's youth and Test at the Tower of the Magi. This book reveals as much of Raistlin's sensitive side, as it does his abrasive side. I would recommend reading the Dragonlance Chronicles Trilogy (Dragons of [insert season] ...             Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Last Straw195 reviews Jeff Kinney Amulet Books, 2009 A favorite book series! I just want to say that my 9 yr old despises reading, we couldn't get him to enjoy it for anything. We tried many different books and a variety of topics, no luck. One day at his school library, he brought home "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" and before we knew it he was reading the book every chance he had and we didn't have to nag him to do so, EUREKA!! His teachers advised that the book was too ...             The Simpsons: A Complete Guide to Our Favorite Family213 reviews Harper Paperbacks, 1997 Perfect book for the Simpsons lover! I originally bought this book for a friend as a birthday gift, and ended up begging him to lend it to me to read myself! This book looks amazing, With tons of information - Each page is filled with facts, jokes and stories about the simpsons episodes and the characters themselves. After reading it, I really wanna rent the whole series again and watch it over and over. All in all, Great book ...             My Utmost for His Highest: Updated Edition (OSWALD CHAMBERS LIBRARY)170 reviews Oswald Chambers Discovery House Publishers, 1992 Best Devotional Book Ever Oswald Chambers's devotional book has been my guidepost for over 50 years. I bought this edition to pass on to a young friend who is seeking her bachelor's degree in theology. This book has opened my eyes to God's truths so many times, lifting me out of some doubts and despair along the way, giving me inspiration to do my best. I highly recommend it for any age reader who is seeking a better ...             BRIDGE OF BIRDS175 reviews BARRY HUGHART LEGEND, 1986 Beautiful, Beautiful Story... When I first started to read this book, it seemed a little slow. But I've learned over the years that some books (and usually the best ones!) take a little more 'setting up' than others. This book was certainly NOT a disappointment! It quickly turned into one of those books you simply CANNOT, for the life of you, put down! And want to read again and again. I gave it away thru [...] and have since ...             The Sunne In Splendour: A Novel of Richard III175 reviews Sharon Kay Penman St. Martin's Griffin, 2008 An epic tragedy For me, this book affirms that history is written by the winners, and may not be necessarily completely accurate. It was in Henry VII's best interest to malign Richard III, and he certainly did an excellent job, considering what we were all taught in school. I appreciate that there are people who care enough to try to set the record straight. The Wars between the Yorks and Lancasters are ...             A Time for Dancing: A Novel185 reviews Davida Wills Hurwin Little Brown & Co (Juv), 1995 Absolutely Love It!! This book is an absolutely amazing read. My favortie book of all time!! This cannot be beat by any book out there!!             THE LORDS OF DISCIPLINE.182 reviews Pat. Conroy Secker & Warburg, 1981 RIVETING NARRATION OF THIS AMERICAN CLASSIC A frequent Audie finalist and Earphones award winner Dan John Miller delivers a riveting narration of the book many have called an American classic. Also a film actor and songwriter Miller gives eloquent voice to protagonist Will McLean who attends the South Carolina Military Institute, which is a fictional military school and said to be inspired by Conroy's personal experiences at The Citadel. ...             Second Helpings: A Jessica Darling Novel199 reviews Megan McCafferty Three Rivers Press, 2003 Second Helpings product arrived in good time and was exactly as described. i feel safe buying from amazon!              search for books 1881-1901, american, arizona, chambers, complete, darling, discipline, dragonlance, favorite, helpings, highest, hitchhiker, learning, lonesome, practices, principles, priorities, redeeming, redwall, seabiscuit, simpsons, soulforge, splendour, strength, territories, ultimate, updated, waiting, warrior, winning books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
