Mommie Dearest
Mommie Dearest

Review:Some women make terrible mothers and some girls make impossible daughters. The "unconditional" love of the mother wasn't there. Its really sad when rich people adopt children and then hire other people to raise them. Why keep adopting kids and then send them off to boarding school? And to a Convent when they really displease you? This girl, no matter how unruly she may have been, did not deserve this. Read more

First Architect Of The American Government - Alexander Hamilton

Review:This book is an easy read. Very insightful into the life and motivations of one of the very important men in our history. It has encouraged me to read more about this man. Now I know why he is on the 20 dollar bill. Read more

In God's Underground

Review:A difficult read at times due only to the hideous trials Wurmbrand endured but nonetheless a very inspiring account of a man who clings to Jesus and his grace no matter what. Would definitely recommend. Read more

TrumpNation: The Art of Being The Donald
TrumpNation: The Art of Being The Donald

Review:This zips along and is funny, funny in many sections (though some of the business sections get a little number heavy). Anybody standing in line to be picked for the next season of the Apprentice should dig into this. It's a fascinating take of The Donald and the writer obviously had lots of access to him and time with him. The chapter on the Apprentice is revealing and hilarious (why are we so swept up in this game?). Very interesting chapters on casinos, celebrity, real estate deals, and Trump'... Read more

No Hero: The Evolution of a Navy Seal
No Hero: The Evolution of a Navy Seal

Review:Powerful lessons from a guy who has looked war in the face and lived to tell about the lessons learned - many good life lessons, learned on the field of battle. Occasionally very intense reading, I was a little upset about how much was redacted by the censors. Read more

The Story of a Fight Against All Odds - Lions of Kandahar
The Story of a Fight Against All Odds - Lions of Kandahar

Review:The sacrifices our soldiers made for our country & the Afghanistan people is stunning. The actions that took place in this war cannot be imagined. To hear the truth and relive the battles thru these words brings such pride & respect for these troops, soldiers, pilots, airmen!! I have no words strong enough to describe how this book made me feel. Read more

What I Learned While Editing My Life - A Million Miles in a Thousand Years
What I Learned While Editing My Life - A Million Miles in a Thousand Years

Review:I just finished this book and it is wonderfully compelling. It is classic Miller. The author wanders all over the place spinning humor and digressions into a coherent story of how he got to a place where life is fulfilling. This is a road map to life that is not liquored up with distractions, amusements, and wishful thinking. Miller explains how post-post modern people can find meaning without sentimentality, and how the difficulty of the journey makes the results sweeter. Read more

A True Story of Brokenness, Heaven, and Life Again

Review:I've been reading spiritual books since my teenage years. I totally enjoyed, learned and understood Crystal McVea's book since I also have had a "voice" help me along the way growing up. I certainly accept and learned much from her book and will enjoyed re-reading it again. Thank you Crystal.

Inside Stories from the Brotherhood of the U.S. Navy SEALs
Inside Stories from the Brotherhood of the U.S. Navy SEALs

Review:About half of this book is stories you have already read about in other books. The second half is entirely about Benghazi, a long detailed description of what lead up to it, then a long 'what-if' section that describes several different scenarios in which the loss of life could have been prevented, followed by a complete reprint of the "Interim Progress Report for the members of the House Republican Conference on the events surrounding the September 11, 2012 terrorist attacks in Benghazi, Libya"...
