Review:The 50th Law is a focused and personal supplement to Greene's earlier 48 Laws of Power. Although Greene has not had the experience of whispering advice into the ears of world leaders, he understands and writes very well about the realities of succeeding in the corporeal world. I consider Robert Greene a modern day Niccolo Machiavelli and these two works are modern versions of "The Prince". Read more
Review:This made a perfect little book for my mom to read during her "quiet times" during the holiday. She loved it and promises to pass it along to her daughters. Good read for the holidays. Short and sweet stories. Read more
Review:It is well written & informative book. It was short & easy to read to my liking!
I found it educational or a reminder that this book included the the important events listed in US history.
Loved it! 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:After reading Gary Paulsen's Winterdance, I had to try this one. I teach 5th grade, so I thought Woodsong might be more geared toward them. I'm still reluctant to use this except in small groups...the depiction of nature's brutality with all the graphic detail, will be a little too intense for some of my students...only balanced by an adult's perspective (putting it into context).
Setting aside that one word of caution, I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Like one of his dogs, once I was har... Read more
Review:I read the adult version of this story when it was published and found the story so inspiring, that I kept talking to my children about it as I read. They were intrigued and wanted to read the story for themselves, but it was a bit daunting for children so young. What a treat to now have a children's book to share with them! They are very familiar with William, as we have followed his story through the Moving Windmills project, and were incredibly excited to finally read his story on their own... Read more
Review:This well-researched and organized book is a must for all young girls to read. Women's rights are still an issue. Hillary Clinton is an important figure in this fight.
I enjoyed Hillary's background information. I had no idea that she was such an active community organizer when she was young. Girls and women need all the role models they can get, especially in American politics. This book definitely fills that need.
The illustrations are also very thoughtful. I like the back m... Read more
Review:It was a very touching book it made me realize how lucky I am. I kept on thinking to myself why couldn't they have left her alone she wasn't responsible for her background. I feel so sorry that she didn't get to grow up like a normal child. I wish her childhood hadn't been ruined by Chairman Mae. I really enjoyed the book because it let you know what happened while your parents were younger and how children got brutilized when they hadn't done anything wrong. I really feel sorry for Jiang...

Review:Great insight into John, the one whom Jesus loved, as he calls himself, the author of Revelation. You see he and the others as they walk beside Jesus, growing in their faith in Him. Jesus revealed as they see Him. Read more
Review:As usual O'Reilly's books are full of interesting facts and personnel stories. Major part of the book surrounds the battle of the bulge and how it affected the defeat of the 3rd Reich. Full of archived photos that have brief descriptions. I wish that he would have gone a bit further describing how Berlin was divided with the Allies and Russians, east and west. The last part of the books goes on to describe what happens to the main players after the war ended. i.e., the generals and others. Read more
