Letters to Malcolm: Chiefly on Prayer Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This is one of those books where I found myself taking an hour to read a paragraph, which I had previously read. I just needed to ruminate on Lewis' thoughts. It's not theological in the sense of Mere Christianity or The Four Loves- he is clear here and elsewhere that he does not want to write a devotional...

Happy Yoga: 7 Reasons Why There's Nothing to Worry About Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)****This is a lovely book ostensibly about yoga (and it is), but more than that, about life. It is about how ordinary people can learn from yogic wisdom and apply it to our mainstream lives. It is about how to be enlightened, simply and happily, rather than rigorously and with struggle. Full of wisdom...

Commentary on the New Testament Use of the Old Testament Review

Carson supports the idea that given any approach to the examination of the New Testament you may think of, someone has written a book about it. And a superb book it is, if you have need for an examination of this...

Words of Wisdom from the Dalai Lama: Quotes by His Holiness Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This is a nice little book to keep on your coffee table or bedside, but it really lacks depth. The Dalai Lama is so good at explaining the meaning of life, I often go out of my way to read his writings. This collection just left me a little flat, no disrespect to His Holyness.Click Here to see more reviews...

Everything Is Going to Kill Everybody: The Terrifyingly Real Ways the World Wants You Dead Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Name 5 ways we're all going to die. Do it! Right now! Before reading this book I knew of maybe three ways: asteroid, war, or plague. Wait, four--global warming. Robert Brockway details, like, 20, and each one scares you more than the last. I've learned way more about killer volcanos, super hurricanes,...

The Word Made Flesh: Literary Tattoos from Bookworms Worldwide Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I've never considered getting a tattoo. They're fine, but never held any personal appeal... until I saw The Word Made Flesh. It's a photo essay of literary tattoos, and in addition to the fine editors who put the book together, it owes its success to the creativity and literacy of the individuals pictured...

From Atheism to Catholicism: How Scientists and Philosophers Led Me to the Truth Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This book is a tour de force. I came to it wanting to learn more about modern philosophy's critique of theism; and that is here - Nietzsche, Darwinism, Bertrand Russell, Ayn Rand, etc. Vost's voice throughout is honestly appreciative of, and sympathetic toward, the atheist philosophers who shaped his...

5: Where Will You Be Five Years from Today? Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Each year I share with my clients and friends a book that I believe will provoke their thinking in some way. Shortly after Thanksgiving last year I found myself in a Starbucks Café with a steaming Americano on my table and seated next to a display of dark chocolate and merchandise. I had a 30-minute...

From Ramen to Riches: Building Wealth in Your 20s: Or Spending, Saving, Investing and Managing Your Money to Get Rich Slowly, but Surely Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I was skeptical that I would learn much from this book. I have a degree in economics and an MBA. I have invested conservatively over my lifetime and expected no surprises. Boy was I surprised.There are three reasons to buy this book. 1. It is very readable. Because it is plain-written, non-financial...

Mastering the Trade: Proven Techniques for Profiting from Intraday and Swing Trading Setups (McGraw-Hill Trader's Edge Series) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I like John Carter - I like him a lot. But there were some disappointments for me in this book. Namely, several chapters are of little or no use without proprietary indicators and downloads. Repeatedly throughout the book, Carter casually refers the reader to his website but nowhere does he mention that...

Memos from the Chairman Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Ah - a book that recalls the days when people wanted to work for corporations! As a former employee of Bear Stearns who received some of the memos in this book, I can say that those memos created an atmosphere of comraderie and humor during the recession of the early '90s. Back then, Bear Stearns was...

It's Your Ship: Management Techniques from the Best Damn Ship in the Navy Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This book and its author have received a lot of media exposure, so I decided to check it out. While Abrashoff espouses proven leadership techniques, the only really new learning is how one man applied the principles on a Navy ship with a complement of 311 sailors. This is more a story of one man's awakening...

100 Ways to Improve Your Writing (Mentor) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I use Gary Provost's 100 WAYS as the textbook in my Internet writing course (Personal Writing) for Lansing Community College.
