Review:Book was recommended to me by a client dealing with an aggressive form of cancer, who has had some of the same experiences as the patients in this book. It's a pleasant read, filled with real comfort and hope for those experiencing any doubts concerning the reality of heaven and Jesus Christ. I think it's worth reading. Read more
Review:This was an incredible book. Both in its detailed account or what it took to bring down a terrorist plot, but also in the time the author took to explain and stress how Islam is manipulated and perverted by jihadis. The final point about the danger of a Muslim ban in the us was timely and so necessary. Thank you to the author for his service and for this book. Read more

Teacher and literary genius Torey Hayden hits a high note with her captivating book, "One Child." I have been blessed with the opportunity to read this story and it truly is a masterpiece. The words set forth to paper in this story are more powerful than a Boeing jet and have the strength to move you on an emotional level.
This is the story of young special education teacher Torey Hayde... Read more
Review:1968 did change everything and Chris Matthews recalls it with readable detail. I learned so much more than I knew previously after growing up during that era. It clarified the murky and made me think about those who impacted 1968 in a new way. Read more
Review:Frank McCourt was at his very best with a continuation of sorts to Angela's Ashes. His discriptions bring you to the times and places he lived through. I can not express enough how much I admire the man he became and the love he expressed for his Mother. Read more
Review:For any level of either afferent or efferent pedagoguery and learning this makes the 72 hour weeks and the help Every Child Left Behind by a certain semiliterate Wolfram all worth while. Buy this thing. Read more
Review:Well-written, easy read - and highly relevant to 2015 issues. If you are concerned about current events, particularly #BlackLivesMatter, Ferguson (and the Ferguson DOJ report), and the events in Baltimore, then I think you will enjoy this book. Read more
Review:Peter Jenkins becomes more comfortable as a writer. His ability to express himself with more range benefits his descriptions. Though his newly acquired wife may perhaps sidetrack the "walk" , this adventure remains generally untainted.
I enjoyed the first, this one was more absorbing. Read more
Review:A Lucky Child is about Thomas Buergenthal and his experiences as a child in World War II. He, along with his parents survived four years in a ghetto, two camps, including Auschwitz, and the Auschwitz death march. He and his mother survived the war, sadly his father did not. The most amazing part to me, was that the author was only about eleven years old at the end of the war, making him one of the few children to survive the war, plus being so young. A great story that I highly recommend rea... Read more
Review:It's an interesting memoir...autobiography (I need to google the difference) about what can happen when you love comedy, work at honing your comedic skills, and put yourself out there. But even if you semi-like Mindy Kaling (sorry Min, I swear this statement ends well) you will LOVE this book. Just buy it dude. It's really good! Read more
