The Present Future: Six Tough Questions for the Church

Rarely Shocked
I read quite a bit. I would say about 2 to 3 books a week sometimes and they are all Christian. So suffice it to say that I am not easily impressed and very often I think that what I have read is a real "waste of paper". This book is not one of those. McNeal writes without compromise. Don't be fooled by the cover. This is not one of those "get big and better" books on the church. This is a very ...

Great book, bad cover
I have to admit the book was good but the cover must go. I saw it plently of times but becasue of the cover looked the other way, I finally read it and was impressed. Authors remeber the cover is almost as important as the reading, think about it.

Charming, endearing, and timeless!
This has always been my favorite Christmas Book (just edging out "A Charlie Brown Christmas" by a glowing-red nose!). I'm happy to say that I own an original first printing of both books, but it's "Willowby" that I continue to purchase, year after year, for my friends and their children. The charm of this story lies in the "one person's discards are another person's treasures" category. The ...

A good book with a good message
I have never read any books by this author but this will definitely not be my last. Unlike most urban books this book had a very important messag about friendships, discrimination, trust, loyalty etc. A very fast paced book you wil not be disappointed.

It's always useful to be reminded...
Although I would like to think that I couldn't be tempted (as a medical researcher) to break the rules and to impair human dignity, it was a very disturbing eye-opener to read this book! It made me remember a few events in my medical education when I saw my teachers cross the line, not as dramatically as most of what Washington portrays, but nevertheless the start of the slippery slope, and I ...

You gotta love Keisha Ervin for serving up yet another page turner, dramatic filled hood tale!!! Mo is your quintessential ride or die chick and she will ride or die for her man Quan. But after 9 years of cheating, lying, drama, side chicks, mis-carriages, lonely nights and heartache - Mo has decided enough is enough. Don't get the game twisted though - Mo has her issues too. Her father, ...

Kaufmann Translations with all Footnotes
The Birth of Tragedy-75 Aphorism-Beyond Good and Evil-The Genealogy of Morals (3 Essays)-The Case of Wagner-Interpretations/commentaries A great collection, though a strange chronological leap from BOT to BGE. Right for the price and a great review of the later published books of FN. All of Kaufmann's footnotes are maintained. You'll at least want to have had read The Gay Science before coming ...

The Best of Street Love
When you have the right ingredients and mix them well, the end result is a extraordinary product. And in the case of Street Love that's exactly what happened. Street love in a combination of five good authors who bring spark and interest to the literary world. While I have had this book for a minute, it is only of late that I read all of the stories. I found favor in each of the author's ...

A Must-Read for Black Women Everywhere
I've recently made the decision to go natural and as I did, I pondered, "Why do I have to 'decide' to be the way I naturally am?" It was then that I realized how unfortunate it was that black women, more than half, find their "naturalness" to be unattractive. I myself have gone through hair extensions, braids, and the dreaded relaxer that has damaged my hair and scalp for years. Now I wonder ...

with persistance and arrogance, brain and bile ...
Schopenhauer's father committed suicide. Son Arthur had been very devoted to his father Heinrich Floris. The high-sensitive son could not deal with the fact, that his mother Johanna had preferred to talk with Goethe in her Weimar Literary Salon instead of helping her husband, getting more and more depressed as a salesman in Hamburg. A typical, later on dialogue between mother (at that time a ...

...a work in the best Boeshaar tradition...
Warning: reading this book may change your life. Once again, Andrea Boeshaar weaves a story filled with rich characters, a strong Christian message, a hint of mystery, and a happy ending. Another "Bravo" for Boeshaar.

Total Money Makeover or Beyond Paycheck to Paycheck? Read this first!
Having read both Dave Ramsey's "Total Money Makeover" and this book, I must highly recommend "Beyond Paycheck to Paycheck" to you. It covers, in detail, many different aspects of personal finance (insurance, taxes, paychecks and 401(k) considerations, investing, debt, etc.) while maintaining a sense of humor throughout. Although "Total Money Makeover" does get one motivated to get out of ...

Your Booker Prize is all in the cards
These pretty cards are an excellent device to jump-start ideas when that sneaky writer's block comes up. Great for brainstorm sessions and getting ideas organized. This is a fun tool for those who love cards - playing cards, tarot decks, and affirmations. Creative minds will have a blast using this "ingredient" in their recipe of book writing!

My Childhood Favorite
As a girl, I loved this book! Still love it. I have my hardback on my shelf, in it's pinkness, no dust jacket. Magical. The author, Carol R. Brink, also wrote "Baby Island," another favorite. Read this a few times, as a kid, and always wanted a Pink Motel of my own. Just the other day, I told my dear Norman, Hunny, let's up and move to Florida, buy a little motel, paint it pink, and have ...

THE FAVOURITE: JOY THANKS TO LUCIDITY
For the admirers of Nietzsche and those who love to read him, "The Gay Science" is somehow their FAVOURITE BOOK. In this work the hughe, great German philosopher and psychologist (honour to whom it deserves!) confronts us with a rather fleet-footed, almost "dancing" way of writing about his eternal themes that never ever have left his thoughts, his way of thinking and his brilliant pen. HERE is ...

Little Black Sudoku
The book is divided into ability sections. There is plenty of room to write the numbers with white space around the puzzle to make notes. It provides hours of challenge!
