A nice look into the lives of these lovely people. I'll mail this from northeastern Indiana, which is very much Amish country. :-)

More like a big leaflet than a book, it has some facts/statistics about the American Civil War, but mostly it contains photographs from the actual war and illustrations of the many different uniforms.

The title is "Come, Tell Me How You Live." Somehow it got mangled above. :-P

This book has a nice reflection, one for each day, for six weeks. I really did not find it to be retreat-related at all, though.

Nice stories in Spanish, but with very few illustrations (only a few very simple black and white drawings).

Very interesting; gives a lot of interesting details. Read it with a grain of salt, however, as the author frequently presents his own opinions as fact.

The info above says hardcover, but this is a paperback, 7" by 5", 138 pages. The text of the book is in Spanish, but the beautiful art will be understood by anyone. It was published in 1995 on the occasion of the centenary of the coronation of Our Lady of Guadalupe at the basilica in Mexico City. The book is a collection of paintings of Our Lady (and related Catholic subjects) through history, in different advocations, especially in the Guadalupe one. A lovely book for Catholics and art lovers -- and especially Catholic art lovers! :-)

Small book with party games, but not for kids. Not that the games in it are indecent, they're just not for children.

Not my favorite psychology book, but there is ample food for thought here.

From the back cover:
"This notable collection of translations and commentaries is designed to bring the Western reader face to face with the experience of Zen. Included in this volume are classic Hsinhsinming, setting forth the basic Zen approach; a gathering of the most famous mundoes, or question-and-answer exchanges, of the great Zen masters; and finally an important selection of koan, or riddle-like queries and incidents, from the Mumonkan, perhaps the most widely used instrument for the teaching of Zen. The result is essential reading for anyone interested in truly understanding one of the world's greatest spiritual and intellectual treasures."
