Perfect Ending
I love this series and the last book is no exception. It is quite long but I was glad for the extra pages as I wanted to spend as much time as possible in this fictitious world. I am a sucker for happy endings so I was upset to hear that perhaps this wasn't going to ...

Great Book!
I'm reading this book for the third time! This is, by far, Mallery's best book. I don't know if I just like sexy athletes or both Hawk's and Nicole's humor! He does some dumb things but they finally realize they are actually in love! Mallery writes the best (next ...

The Joy of Vegan Baking: The Compassionate Cooks' Traditional Treats and Sinful Sweets
Colleen Patrick-Goudreau
Fair Winds Press, 2007
Two thumbs up!
I'd give this book five stars. Is it all healthy recipes? No. But it doesn't set out to be a healthy vegan baking book. The mission is to show that you can make tasty vegan baked goods without the use of animal products. It fits the bill.
So while I tend to opt for ...

Warm Fuzzies: 30 Sweet Felted Projects
Betz White
North Light Books, 2007
sweetness
I love this book! Not only does it have easy take-along projects, but it uses recycled wool clothing to create them! As a person who not only enjoys making gifts for birthdays, etc., but who also sells hand-mades, I cannot recommend this book often enough!

Forgotten Ways, The: Reactivating the Missional Church
Alan Hirsch
Brazos Press, 2007
Fantastic! Provokes good thinking and self examination!
Alan's written a great reminder: The Truth of the Word is increasingly being hidden from view by the organized church. Unintentionally perhaps, but it's the net effect.
Additionally, the not-yet-Christians have gotten an increasingly distorted view of who Jesus is ...
