Review:My friends have recommended this book to me for at least a year now. And since I've had time, I picked it up. I don't read very much, but this is a great book. I love how Donald Miller keeps your attention through stories of his life and adventures he went through. But I also love how real he is about life, and about God and Christianity. I highly recommend this book. I think it is especially appreciated by the younger generation because of his approach to life. It isn't the normal Christian's a... Read more

Review:I don ' t know much about horses, so I hesitated to buy this book. I'm glad I decided to read it any way! It 's an entertaining and moving story. Thank you John Egenes for taking me along on your journey! Read more

Review:This is a book about whom every one of significance (except aboard the helicopter) has died. These dead people are the ones through whose eyes we are to see this disaster unfold. In other words,there is a whole lot of "Then they must have thought this", or "Of course we can assume they were saying this...." It is a book of so much fiction regarding everything of interest, and yet it is presented as a factual account of the disaster.

The only interesting aspect to this book is the one area... Read more

Review:The likelihood of me picking this book up, let alone reading it were slim to nothing. One evening I stumbled upon the interview with Bill Maher and Pat Tillman's raucous brother, Richard. Richard was brazenly unfiltered, passionate, emotional, and enviably brave when speaking of his brother and offering his position on Pat's life and subsequent death.

I've never moved more swiftly through a book. Not only did it describe an absolutely fascinating man, it illuminated the intricacies of ... Read more

Review:It has been great to read the different accounts from different perspectives of this tragic event. After reading ITA, it always struck me as strange that JK was critical of AB not using oxygen when at the very least it was a non issue and may have actually saved others. Same with the "early descent" that absolutely saved lives. Maybe he was a jerk, but he no doubt acted heroically. Too bad more of the climbers and Sherpas resting at camp 4 were unable or unwilling to assist with ABs rescue a... Read more

Review:I had heard about Beck Weathers and remembered the story of the Everest climb that turned in a huge tragedy.

Beck tells his story without reservation. He paints a dark picture of the selfish self centered man he was. He doesn't hold anything back. The book is very colorful and interesting. The stories about climbing are very harrowing!

It is also a book about redemption! He lives, against impossible odds and turns his life around! Read more

Review:This was a good story and put together the narrative of what happened clearly. Unfortunately there was too much detail about each of the persons, which dragged at times. I skimmed through much of it, stopping at the main points of action. I didn't feel I missed anything. Read more

Review:The messages delivered in this book is nothing less than life changing. It permits us to evaluate the meaning of life no matter what point we're at- and how to change our lives for the better. It answers the question of why we need to change, and it will forever impact my life Read more

Review:I have long wondered about Rich Mullins, so bought this book to round out my order and get free shipping from Amazon. I was disappointed. I gather that it does a good job of what it does, but it doesn't do what I expected. I was looking for a biography of Rich Mullins, and while this book does contain some of that you have to dig it out from among the ten devotionals the author offers. I do understand that the devotionals represent important aspects of life that Mullins'held dear, but I quit ... Read more

Review:Brennan Manning's books have had a deep impact on my life, and I was eager to read his memoir. His was a life of great purpose and ministry to so many, but riddled with the tragedy of alcoholism. His life of many contradictions gave "All is Grace" rich meaning. Read more
