Review:Very famous and justifiably so. Very distressing to read and reminds me of the turmoil and tragedy of Vietnam and how mistakenly our leaders misjudged the entire Vietnam issues. So sorry for the US military who were injured, killed and scarred for life and for the country citizens of Vietnam.
Should be a must read for all in the service academy and anyone involved in our foreign policy or defense policy . Read more

Review:This was interesting but was not what i expected from the title. I have never read any books by Kidd but she was recommended by serveral people. I think that women who are in an oppressive state in their own faith communities can benefit from this book. It looks at why we allow oppression. There were pearls in the book that i will take with me, but the last section left me a little so so. Her journey leads to a spiritual status that seems to leave off everything but herself. Like it is all... Read more

Review:Although this book is sexually explicit it is a most important and historic book. Despite the fact that author Sinclair has had, to put it mildly, a checkered past, I found this book to be totally credible, truthful and believable. The American people have seen since the publication of Sinclair's book that Obama is a corrupt and lying individual. He uses tax payer money for campaigning across America, all the while denying it, he uses dead people's Social Security numbers, forged documents to "p... Read more

Review:This is an extraordinary book in terms of the research involved and the excellent writing. McCullough makes excellent use of primary source material to set Theodore Roosevelt in the context of his family. One of my interests is in how leaders emerge from families, and this is the best book in terms of that I've ever read. I listened to it two in audio format, and then bought the book. My latest purchases of it were as gifts for others. Read more

Review:Inspired by Gifted Hands, I wanted to learn more of Dr. Carson's insights.

Think Big, a book that can be read by novice readers, offers very practical advice and insights that can help anyone be their best. The title is an acrostic for the things that Ben Carson considers essential for success. He defines success as, essentially, knowing you have done your best.

I gave the book four stars because I felt Gifted Hands was much more engaging in giving the same advice - I find Gifted H... Read more

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: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: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

Review:This book is awesome! I never knew about the beginning of her life. You can really sense the love she had for her family and most of all for Desi Arnaz. The way she talks about their first meeting and how much the were in love was really stunning. Most of the book is dedicated to how great and special he was. She even told the stories about his faults in a way that showed how much she really did care for him. It was touching when she talked about how she wanted to be such a great wife and onl... Read more
