Review:What an easy way to read about what we have lost from the ways and skills of the last generations. I loved to read about things they did regularly that I had no idea of. This gave me a better perspective of how pioneers lived and survived from year to year in a deliteful narrative. Read more

Review:The Greatest Sales Book Ever Written
Most people miss the point. In your face selling of any idea, religion, product, or philosophy never works. That's why so many people selling religion fail and why Joel Osteen has the largest church in the country. He keeps his books and his TV ministries "light" as to light the spark in people; a spark that has always been there but needs fuel. That is why Joel has touched... Read more

Review:Should have read the reviews first! Purchased the Kindle version to use on my iPad, but the low resolution of the maps renders them fuzzy at best. Most of the fonts on the maps and information insets are, therefore, illegible; the usually-wonderful ability to enlarge things on the screen only makes matters worse. Wasted my money! Read more

Review:I started reading this book based on the reviews. Once I started reading I realized.. It's not for adults.. it's for young teens and it did not like the cliches, and the "whatever" attitudes.. I finished reading it hoping it would leave me hanging. and it did. Not because it was "OMG GOOD!" but because it was almost like a trainwreck that I couldn't look away from. *cries* Read more

Review:Daley-Ward's words are exquisite. It's like having your favorite chocolate bar melt in your mouth. I couldn't put it down until it was done. She is a masterful storyteller with great imagery, who knows how to make words dance on the page. At the same time, everything she writes is so breathtakingly honest, and feels so relatable. So human. As if the person who wrote this could be my best friend, or the woman sitting next to me on the train. Her work is nothing short of genius and deserves more ... Read more

Review:I must admit, I almost returned this book about 1/4 of the way in because it seemed to be headed down a "preachy" path. And yes, there is a spiritual/religious undercurrent to this story of a woman who must return to the place of her youth to try to close a real estate deal - to get rid of it.

Heather Hampton is a Seattle architect whose career has become her life. When a broker deal comes up offering to buy the Texas land where she spent her childhood, still owned by her family, she can'... Read more

Review:I have really enjoyed other C.S. Lewis books so I was excited to read his Sci-Fi Space Trilogy. I loved the 1st book, it had great story, good charter development and wonderful description of the places. All that is missing from the 3rd book, so while I hate to say it .... I didn't enjoy this book.

I noticed that many people were disappointed that the main charter of the series Ransom plays such a minor role in this book. I can forgive the fact that he devotes much of the book to a new... Read more

Review:Brilliant insights into the heart of Christ and his will for us as his children. Tozer eloquently teaches the necessity of seeking after God and not relying on tradition but rather an intimate personal relationship with the King of Heaven. Read more

Review:More than a Carpenter is a classic defense of Christianity against skeptics. The new addition with input from Josh McDowell's son brings it right up to date with contemporary players in the debate over the historicity of Christ and the New Testament documents. Read more

Review:C. S. Lewis once said, "The value of myth is that it takes all the things you know and restores to them the rich significance which has been hidden by the veil of familiarity." Nowhere is this more true than in his own retelling of the myth of Cupid and Psyche as he intentionally recasts the myth in a way that gives it logical coherence and subtly (and sometimes not-so-subtly) emphasizes a variety of philosophical and theological points.

I think that explaining and analyzing the signific... Read more
