Young Windblown Media, 2007 Another Classic If you are the fundamentalist type who's religion is anchored around a single verse here and a single verse there, then as the author puts it, this book was not written for you.

I tend to have high standards and high expectations - both for myself and for those around me. And, I have been told that my standards are too high, and my expectations are unreasonable.

I absolutely loved this book. It was deeply inspiring. I stumbled onto it. My sister-in-law read it for her book club. I picked it up after her because we were at the beach and I needed something to read. What a surprise! I am a transplanted Texan and grew up in Ft. Worth so that was especially fun to see my home cowtown all hashed out. Much more than that, though, was the wonderful true ...             The God Delusion1252 reviews Richard Dawkins Mariner Books, 2008 Truly Honest Review ~ Yes I Read The Book It is my goal to provide an honest review of this book, as seen from my perspective. I appreciate what Dawkins says, from the viewpoint of his arguement. Dawkins also, surprisingly, admits that the existance of God is a 50/50 chance. He does, however, provide arguments for why he believes God is improbable. The book is split into two parts. The first half of the book is Dawkins' argument ...             Tuesdays with Morrie: An Old Man, a Young Man, and Life's Greatest Lesson2112 reviews Mitch Albom Broadway, 2002 A heartfelt reminder of the important things in life. After reading so many spectacular reviews, I decided to give this book a whirl myself, and I'm so thankful I did. First of all, I hate to read. Well, let me rephrase that. I USED to hate to read. Doing so much reading in college leaves me with little energy outside of schoolwork to read, but I quickly polished this book off in two sessions. This book grabs you almost immediately and reels you ...             The Noble Wilds63 reviews The Supreme Master Ching Hai Love Ocean Creative International Company, Ltd., 2008 It is a must have for all human beings I have never read any kids' collection which is so deeply touching, so divinely beautiful and so cute with all the pictures of little animals like squirrels and the new born swans. Their cuteness were all beautiful catpured. Their growth and the unconditional love from their parents cannot be compared to that from us human parents sometimes. Also when I saw the sharing of food among the litte ...             The Purpose Driven® Life: What on Earth Am I Here For? (Purpose Driven® Life, The)1091 reviews Rick Warren Zondervan, 2007 Wonderful book First let me say this is a great book I would recomend it to anyone. I read some of the 1 star reviews and was amazed how misinformed these nay sayers were. One person said that it taught that life is for us to fulfill our own perpose instead of living for God. What the book teachs is that serving God is our purpose. Another person said Rick Warren wrote this book just to make money, I guess he ...             Render Unto Caesar: Serving the Nation by Living our Catholic Beliefs in Political Life7 reviews Charles J.

The Question Behind the Question: Practicing Personal Accountability in Work and in Life177 reviews John G. Miller Putnam Publishing Group, 2004 Brief, direct and to the point...

It has so much information. It is a book that needs study... not just a read. I grew up with alcoholic parents and very codependent relationships. I am glad there is a Christian and biblical based book that speaks to the fact that when you are a Christian loving on people it does not also mean you are a doormat for others to take advantage of.
