T. Boone Pickens

Crown Business, 2008

the truth behind gas prices
A great book! T. Boone Pickens is a true Patriot. One who loves this country and mankind before the love of money. I enjoyed knowing more about the man and his direction for America's energy future; even though I did not agree with everything he says. For example, as ...

Hot Hand: Mike Lupica's Comeback Kids
Mike Lupica

Philomel, 2007

Hoop-hoop-hoop!
As a Language Arts teacher, I am always searching for books that will get my young male charges into reading, especially those kids who think that athletes don't need to be able to read to succeed. Telling them this just doesn't work, but getting them to read things ...
  
  











  



  
Two-Minute Drill: Mike Lupica's Comeback Kids
Mike Lupica

Philomel, 2007

Two-Minute Drill: Mike Lupica's Comeback Kids
This is a very good book, my son is finishing it right now, it seems he appreciates sports more as a result of the book, and also that there is a tie into the sciences. Very well written, as an adult, I'm also going to read it. Well done Mike Lupica, thanks for ...
  
  











  



  
Conservative Comebacks to Liberal Lies: Issue by Issue Responses to the Most Common Claims of the Left from A ...
Gregg Jackson

JAJ Publishing, 2006

Eye-opening
I am a Republican, but I never realized ALL that the democrats have done to the individual and our country. This book was spellbinding. I was up almost all night reading it. And I will still go back to it to read again and again.
  
  











  



  
Insults and Comebacks for All Occasions (Lines for All Occasions)

Knock Knock Books, 2008

Stop Being One Upped
If you're the person who never has a comeback for a pitiful "Yo mama" joke a friend told, then you need this. Impress all your friends by making them think that you actually made up the comebacks yourself. At least that's what I do.
  
  











  



  
Staging Your Comeback: A Complete Beauty Revival for Women Over 45
Christopher Hopkins

HCI, 2008

Love this book! Great stuff!
I got this book along with 3 others of the same type. Although I've always been keen on making sure my personal image doesn't stagnate, moving into "middle age" has been a challenge. The book provides advice on makeup, hair, wardrobe, and the ability of all of the ...
  
  











  



  
Comeback Churches: How 300 Churches Turned Around and Yours Can, Too
Ed Stetzer, Mike Dodson

B&H Books, 2007

Very Good
I've read many books on church growth/church health, and this one is near the top of my list. Although there are many commendable points made, my favorite is the authors' "Missional Matrix." In it they assert there must be a biblical grounding in Christology, ...

Mardy Grothe

Collins, 2005

Great book
As one reviewer of this book wrote:"This book isn't guaranteed to make you more clever, but it certainly can't hurt." This book is ingeniously written. Don't be alarmed if you find yourself laughing aloud. This book will keep you engaged from beginning to end. I have ...

When Harvard came back from a 16-point deficit with less than a minute to go to tie Yale in the now-famous 1968 gridiron tilt, the headline in the Harvard Crimson the following Monday proudly boasted Harvard Beats Yale 29 - 29. This example and nineteen extraordinary comeback stories are the subjects of the authors' latest volume of sports ...
  
  











  



  
Yo' Mama Is So...: 1,042 Insults, Comebacks, Putdowns, and Wisecracks About Yo' Whole Family!
Hugh Payne

Black Dog & Leventhal Publishers, 2007

Gave me many hearty laughs
First of all, don't be offended by this book. It's only meant to make you laugh. If you read it with that in mind, you will be greatly amused. Some of the jokes in this book are pretty crude, like this one: "Yo' daddy is so stupid, he has to pull down his pants to ...
  
  











  



  
From Worst to First: Behind the Scenes of Continental's Remarkable Comeback
Gordon Bethune

Wiley, 1999

Top Notch
I had the pleasure of doing media relations for Continental in the early 2000s, including the years after 9/11. The Gordon Bethune in the book is the Gordon Bethune you meet in person: incredibly smart, driven, concerned about the people whose paychecks he signed, and ...
