Ray of Hope
I stumbled across this book. Wow, what good timing! With God, there are no coincidences. I am currently experiencing some issues in my life concerning my health, my children, past hurts, etc and have suffered with oppression and some depression, so this came in the knick of time. God knows, Fr. Morris' book was exactly what I needed to read. No matter what Christian denomination you are, ...

. I Could Not Put This Down
Once I started reading this book I could not put it down. It is the story of someone from an average family who goes on to become chairman of the senate foreign relations committee. Joe tells the story of his childhood, getting through college and meeting his wives and how his first wife and daughter died in an auto accident. How after this great tragedy he did not want to go on. It is a very ...

Wonderful book and program!
This book, along with the non-Christian version, Fighting for your Marriage, is great! This is great marriage enrichment stuff and helps so much with communication, as well as increasing fun in your marriage. Great for small groups. [...]. As a mental health counselor, I use the tools in this book with my clients and highly recommend it! Also at the PREP website is a list of PREP instructors if ...

The New Testament Comes to Life
As a conservative Christian layman, I have found this breathes new life into the Scriptures. I was looking for the New Testament on CD and found this dramatic reading of the NKJV. What can I say? Just a reading of the cover will tell you of the great talents involved in this wonderful effort. I came away after listening to the entire set feeling as if I had watched an epic motion picture (and you ...
Barack Obama: Son of Promise, Child of Hope

Hope is what we want for children
I scanned the pages of this book in the bookstore, saw one illustration that made me wonder if the book was more religious than I'd like, but I bought for my grandson anyway. At home the first thing I did was check the Amazon price. The average customer rating was a dismal 2.5, but I noticed a curious thing: all reviews were either 1 star or 5 star--nothing in between. How odd! Might something ...

I want more
This was one of the best books I have ever read. I couldnt put the book down until i had finished it. Then I was disapointed as I could have read more but there was no more to read.... It doesnt really matter what Debbie Macomber writes all her books are wonderful to read.

Perricone Diet- Great Info and...
I read the book, well written and informative and started the eating plan today. You do NOT have to buy the skin care line, or his over-priced versions of the supplements. I got most (not all) of the supplements locally for about $75.00 for a 2 month supply. That easily replaces mindlessly eating junk at $32.00 a month. And since most of my misc. medical stuff is inflammatory related, I will be ...
Change We Can Believe In: Barack Obama's Plan to Renew America's Promise
39 reviews
Three Rivers Press
, 2008
cometh the hour cometh the man
Barack Obama's latest book, Change We Can Believe In, is indeed a sincere attempt to put forth his views and plans to renew America. The amount of thought he has put behind his seven arousing speeches speaks volume of the quality of a leader passionately engaged in envisioning problems specific to America and its global role while not forgetting its glorious idealistic past. Like his other ...
Obama: From Promise to Power

Harper

Objective, Fair, and Useful
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R11Q7UEY8OJ1OX Here's a mainstream media account of Obama that happens to be objective and fair. It contains the story of his life, and Mendell refuses to portray him as a savior even though he really likes the guy. It's definitely useful for conservatives as Mendell's liberal bonafides are unimpeachable. A fine read I thought overall.

Woo Hoo, A Sexy Preacher
For fans of Sarah McCarty's Promise series, this story about the Reverend Brad is possibly the most anticipated book she's ever written. It certainly was for me. From the first Promise book, the irreverent preacher has been much loved. He has met his perfect match in Evie, the unconventional artist. As a person deeply involved with faith and religion, I very much appreciated Brad's occasional ...

A Firm Foundation
This book provides a comprehensive view into the workings of the differentiated classroom. Dr. Tomlinson presents the vital theoretical underpinnings of differentiation, but pairs them with real world vignettes and strategies. This combination helps the reader understand the importance of tailoring instruction to meet students' needs, but also empowers the reader with a sense of "being ...

Myron Bolitar books are awesome. It was a little wierd with him being 40 years old, but this is another solid Myron book. 5 stars!
God's Promises For Your Every Need

The best Scripture-based "Promises" book available
The compiler of this book (Dr. A. L. Gill) has crafted the single most powerful book of God's Promises. First, the Scripture is primarily drawn from the King James Version of The Bible. Newer "Living" translations, while they may be useful, occasionally change the meaning and context as a by-product of "updating" the language. With King James Version Scripture, you can't go wrong. Second, this is ...

A sweet Christmas tale that's tough and tender at the same time
Grace and the promise of new beginnings make Donna VanLiere's fourth novel in The Christmas Hope series, THE CHRISTMAS PROMISE, a charmingly poignant seasonal read. VanLiere tells her story through the characters of the delightful 60-year-old Gloria Bailey and the down-on-his-luck 24-year-old Chaz McConnell. Although tough and practical when it's called for, "Miss Glory" has a heart as soft ...
A Promise to Ourselves: A Journey Through Fatherhood and Divorce

Alec Baldwin
St. Martin's Press
, 2008
Read!
The reader must focus on the very current and painful topic of this book, not on the writer. I.e. the promises we make to ourselves for our kids, the corrupted divorce system, and the Parental Alienation. Alec endured one of the most incredible battles of a lifetime: he certainly has a lot to teach us all. Alec pours out of his chest the despicable family law system that this country has ...

Fantastic book about a not-so-fantastic phenomenon
As a social worker who deals with the population portrayed in this book day in and day out, I was very interested in reading a book that I hoped would help me understand a phenomenon that has intrigued me since the day I started my job. I was very pleased when I read this book as I thought that it did address its stated purpose in a factual but still thoughtful way. I enjoyed this book because ...

for westerners, a must-have
I got this a few years ago at a class Arora taught in Ft Bragg. I keep it with my hiking supplies because I certainly can't carry Mushrooms Demystified: A Comprehensive Guide to the Fleshy Fungi around with me. This one is a great read and is enough, with its fine photos, to do decent field identification. I can understand that people in other areas might be disappointed in the western ...

grossly amazing
The book PROMISE NOT TO TELL was a quick read.It was written so well i felt as if i was in the book. I'm a sophomore in high school and in a honors English course. This book is one i would suggest to my teacher. Any one at any age would be compelled to the book simply after the first page. It is one that keeps you on the edge of your seat, and with your head deeply buried between the pages. I ...
