The Paleo Diet: Lose Weight and Get Healthy by Eating the Food You Were Designed to Eat
Loren Cordain

Wiley, 2002

works for me
I read this book a few years ago and at the time, thought it was too extreme and unworkable. Then, about 6 weeks ago, I read it again, tried this new way of eating and have lost 10 pounds so far. It takes some getting used to, but you don't have to restrict ...
  
  











  



  
The Life You Were Born to Live: A Guide to Finding Your Life Purpose (Millman, Dan)
Dan Millman

HJ Kramer, 1995

Whoa...
Very interesting and captivating. This was so on the mark, and I like that it's not just the typical numerology based sytem. Much more accurate. I actually choked up reading my specific life path description, there were things in there I'm barely aware of but I know ...

On the Night You Were Born

The most special book ever!
This book is absolutely beautiful! It made both my husband and I cry (that doesn't happen often!). The words spoke to me as a mommy and the way I feel about my sweet baby. It also has beautiful illustrations. The dancing polar bears are my fave! You have to get ...

Review by a beginner
I should start by stating that I am a beginning guitar student. So please take my review in the appropriate light. The book "Music Theory" is a unique addition to my quickly growing guitar library. It is broken into 13 chapters: Chapter 1 - a detailed explanation of ...
  
  











  



  
And Then There Were None
Agatha Christie

St. Martin's Griffin, 2004

And Then There Were None
Agatha Christie is one of, if not the worlds most popular mystery writer, many of today's mystery writers have credited her as their inspiration. And 'AND THEN THERE WERE NONE' (aka TEN LITTLE INDIANS) is hailed as one of her greatest works, so I decided if I wanted to ...
  
  











  



  
Their Eyes Were Watching God
Zora Neale Hurston

Harper Perennial Modern Classics, 2006

Their Eyes Were Watching God
Please read this book! I'm serious! The writing is pure poetry, with fantastic images that will stay with me forever. Also, the historical value cannot be exaggerated. The author, Nora Neale Hurston, gave us a tremendous gift.

Why We're Not Emergent: By Two Guys Who Should Be
Kevin DeYoung, Ted Kluck

Moody Publishers, 2008

Balanced and thought provoking
DeYoung and Kluck do an excellent job of asking tough questions about the Emergent movement, and yet they do it in a way that is representative of the faith they confess. More congregants need to be asking their leaders... "just where are you leading us?" This book ...

When the keystone is removed, how can the archway hold?

Traveling Light: Releasing the Burdens You Were Never Intended to Bear
Max Lucado

Thomas Nelson, 2006

Traveling Light
Our class picked this book as what we thought would be a light summer read. While it's certainly easy to take in, it has deeply affected each of us. This is a walk through the 23rd Psalm which is likely to be a comfort and a personal challenge to most who read it.
  
  











  



  
We're Going on a Bear Hunt
Michael Rosen

Aladdin, 2003

Great Classic Book
My 3 year old son loves this book. When we go for a walk around the neighborhood, he wants to pretend that we are going on a "bear hunt" and we recite the book. Great book for imagination.
  
  











  



  
Everything You Never Wanted Your Kids to Know About Sex (But Were Afraid They'd Ask): The Secrets to ...
Justin Richardson, Mark Schuster

Three Rivers Press, 2004

Wildly entertaining for a "how to" book!
Half way through the first chapter, I was nodding, laughing and remembering. The author and editors are dead-on with their descriptions and stories. Their advice is absolutely bar none. I put down the book after the first chapter and realized that it was so well ...
