Michael Yon Richard Vigilante Books, 2008 absolutely awesome and unbias this book was so good I couldnt put it down and Michael talked like a person who was there and didnt take sides but wrote about what is really happening,and the importance of this information I sent one of these books to the mother of a soldier who was killed in Iraq ...             unChristian: What a New Generation Really Thinks about Christianity... and Why It Matters David Kinnaman, Gabe Lyons Baker Books, 2007 Just a thought The previous reviews and the book express a theme very common in the New Testament. The description of the understanding of "christian" sounds an awful lot like the biblical description of the Pharisees. Both Jesus and Paul were condemned by the religious people of ...             Founding Brothers: The Revolutionary Generation Joseph J. Ellis Vintage, 2002 A tasteful look into each of those fascinating men In the afterglow of the HBO series on John Adams, I grew interested in some of the founding fathers, many of whom had seemed boring to me ever since I read their bios in grade school. Ellis does a highly intelligent and readable job of laying out the personalities, ...             Solar Power Your Home For Dummies (For Dummies (Home & Garden)) Rik DeGunther For Dummies, 2007 This book answered ALL my questions clearly! My husband and I have become increasingly consciencious about saving our natural resources. It has been our goal to add solar panels to our house but most of the books out there were not written for the average person. This book answered all our questions in a ...             The Dumbest Generation: How the Digital Age Stupefies Young Americans and Jeopardizes Our Future (Or, Don't ... Mark Bauerlein Tarcher, 2008 The Current Prisoners In Plato's Cave This is an astonishingly insightful book. The fact that it has not so far garnered avalanches of commendation on this site suggests to me the dunces of our age, comfortable with the present scheme of things, may be in confederacy against it. Its thesis is that the ...             Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (Book 4) J.K. Rowling Scholastic Press, 2000 Harry Potter and the Four Champions Triwizard Tournment ,Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ron Weasly.

Girls Like Us is one of the most fascinating books I've read this year. I've long been an admirer of Carole King, Joni Mitchell, and Carly Simon individaully and I guess I was vaguely aware that there was a thread that linked all three: James Taylor. I've been a fan of ...             Boom!: Voices of the Sixties Personal Reflections on the '60s and Today Tom Brokaw Random House, 2007 Ignore the negative reviews - this is as even as you can get I'm guessing that the negative comments came from people who are only happy when a book totally trashes everything liberal and glorifies everything conservative. That's not what this book is about, but it is about as even handed as one could attempt. As opposed to what ...             On the Road (Penguin Great Books of the 20th Century) Jack Kerouac Penguin (Non-Classics), 1999 The Day After Superman Died I began this book with weary thoughts, suspecting some Beatles, hippie mumbo jumbo about life, love and drugs. I was right but also dead wrong. After reading it I can fully understand why this is thought of as the definitive read from the beat generation. It's ...             Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs: A Low Culture Manifesto Chuck Klosterman Scribner, 2004 Always enjoyable This is the second book of Klosterman's I've read. The first, and my introduction to Klosterman, was "IV." I like both these books equally and for similar reasons. In here, Klosterman observes seemingly mindless and inconsiquential tidbits and expands upon them in a ...             The Gift of Therapy: An Open Letter to a New Generation of Therapists and Their Patients Irvin Yalom Harper Perennial, 2003 Excellent Resource This was one of the most helpful books I've read in my graduate experience. The lessons take the theory that we've learned and make it practical. Dr. Yalom's willingness to admit his mistakes and weaknesses makes his advice and insight much more relevant.             They Like Jesus but Not the Church: Insights from Emerging Generations Dan Kimball Zondervan, 2007 Life Changing Book A life changing book with a real honest (and solution based) look at the church. I highly recommend this book. May it give all who read it insight into this mission field we call the United States.             Relentless Pursuit: A Year in the Trenches with Teach for America Donna Foote Knopf, 2008 The Myth of the Hero Teacher The Hero Teacher Story is an important American myth, known through such movies as "To Sir With Love", "Stand and Deliver", "The Hobarth Shakespearians" and "The Ron Howard Story". Like all good myths, they are used by different people to prop up different ideologies; ...             Bon Appetit, Y'All: Recipes and Stories from Three Generations of Southern Cooking Virginia Willis Ten Speed Press, 2008 loved it, ya'll! A thoroughly enjoyable cookbook to read. Easy to follow recipes, nostalgic dialog, just an all around nice addition to my southern cookbook gallery. I have made the barbeque sauce she recommended and with a few personal tweeks, and it is now one of my go-to sauces. ...             Generation Me: Why Today's Young Americans Are More Confident, Assertive, Entitled--and More Miserable Than ...
