Review:I finished reading this book by Chuck Klosterman called Killing Yourself to Live: 85% of a True Story. I enjoyed it. I laughed out loud a lot and that's important sometimes when you are reading a book that supposed to be about this guy visiting cities and cites where rock stars have died, and the cultural significance of these artists, their lives, and deaths. But it actually just ended up being this guy, driving across the country, going to these places, and inevitably beginning to think about ... Read more

Review:This title appeared as a recommendation in an article in The Christian Science Monitor, so I assumed it might be important. But I haven't learned anything new. I recently read The Shelter of Each Other : Rebuilding Our Families by Dr. Mary Pipher (1996) which was much more influential and at least written by someone in the field of mental health. Read more

Review:How can anyone who lived through the Second World War not be moved by this remarkable account of survival by a young Jewish boy in Poland. The write up in the ( i ) didn't do it justice. That's why I bought the book. Read more

Review:The stories in this book are very short and limite. “Good Night Stories of Rebel Girls” is a similar book but better. It covers girls from all over the world and different periods of time. My girls and I have fun reading it. Read more

Review:An awesome and inspiring book. My 3rd-grade daughter read it in school and liked it so much that she encouraged us to get it. Manages the tricky task of concisely covering the facts of RBG's biography in a way that also conveys the essence of her personality. As good as the best of the Who Is/Who Was books (which I also really like). Read more

Review:OMG how can someone so entertaining be so boring in a book? I'm so sad that he lost his Mom at a young age, but the way he blathers on about the most mundane details of his childhood and life - it's like he never heard of editing a story. This book is a huge disappointment. Read more

Review:"Drinking with the Saints" arrived from Amazon 3 days ago. The first thing my 12-year-old son said was, "That's a great cover!" And the book is handsome: well-designed, beautifully-illustrated & built for use. And it will get plenty of use in our household. This book would be well worth the price just for the remarkable variety of delicious drink recipes presented; but why not add in the rich history of the lives of the saints and the beautiful seasons and cycles of the calendar? I mean, eve... Read more

Review:Creed was one of my favorite groups to listen to. When they stopped performing and creating music was a sad day. This audio bio was touching. So many times I would shout out loud "Scott what were you thinking!" but at the end I realized that he too like many of us had his ups and his downs. He too was learning about himself, the business, his friends and how to deal with everyday life. I think he finally discovered that without Christ he would fail and his walk became stronger and this is what k... Read more

Review:My 12 year old son thought this book was interesting and full of information. It taught him about how life was like for Japanese-Americans iin WWII. Overall, he thought it was a pretty good book-4.2 stars Read more

Review:I am only 142 pages into Eric Metaxas' MARTIN LUTHER book! I LOVE IT! His style of writing, while super professional, with a high level of educational intelligence - some words I still want to look up for the definition; but I thoroughly enjoy his personal "quips" and his "humor" in drawing the historic incidents with modern descriptions, helping to make things humanly real; and which the reader can identify. I wish I could state that with greater understanding for you. I appreciate his rel... Read more
