The artwork done by this 10 year old child is nothing short of miraculous. The book not only shows you her artwork but tells the story behind it: what she was thinking of, how old she was at the time and what materials. The book is definitely worth getting. The pictures are good enough to be framed. What really hit me was how this young girl (who came from an atheist family, was homeschooled, no television and no outside influences) discovered God and was given the incredible gift of art. You have to see it to believe it. She was featured on Oprah but didn't get enough chance to talk about the reason she draws and paints. I love this book.

A very well written memoir about a very real tragedy that is ongoing for this poor mother of five in Pakistan. I decided to purchase this book to help her husband support his family. He and the children have been forced into hiding.
You can't help but be moved by her story. She is convicted of speaking out against the Prophet Muhammad. She is innocent...falsely accused. She is attacked for drinking out of a well that is frequented by Muslim women. Her crime is being Christian.

Great book about Desi Arnaz's life before Lucy, during and after. A very easy, informative read. You feel like he's there in the room telling you the story. Beware of foul language, though. He drops the F bomb constantly---part of his normal speaking. Not meant to offend or shock, just how he talks.

Great great book. Desi Arnaz writes surprisingly well about his life. You can almost hear him speaking. He talks about his life in Cuba as a young boy, his family life, what it was like coming to the United States as a young man and trying just to survive. It was so interesting that I didn't even care whether or not he talked about life with Lucille Ball. And yet he did talk about that life. No tearing down. No bitterness. He spoke very well about her and explained why the break-up. Very refreshing not to hear nasty gossip. Highly recommend this book.

This is a fun book and informative. There are different experts giving a 2-3 page summary on how to do different things. Everything from the safe way to shovel snow to how to tie a bow tie to asking for a raise. Handy little book.

Much of this has already been debunked in other books. In fact, Gary Krupp ( a Jew) was so angry about this misinformation that he wrote a book proving it wrong.
Pope Pius XII and World War II- The Documented Truth
Mr. Krupp has a website devoted to improving relations between faiths through removing non-theological obstacles. http://www.ptwf.org/default.aspx
John Cornwell has a very strong anti-Catholic agenda going on that doesn't want anything to do with truth and is hell-bent on destroying people. Don't waste your time on this book.

I love this book. It is the story of Michael Landon as told by his loving step-daughter. There are a few behind the scenes stories of Bonanza and Little House on the Prairie. It dealt with the fun side of his persona along with the sad story of his leaving the family. (Sounds like he had a mid-life crisis.) It also addressed the end of his life as he faced pancreatic cancer.
Wilson's story gave me an appreciation of who he was and how he pulled through some very difficult life situations.
I would highly recommend the book.

I really enjoyed this book. If you like the series then you'll like the book. Written from Natalie Teeger's perspective (his assistant), she tells the story of how Monk is no longer on the budget as a police consultant. He surprisingly takes on a job as a detective for a security firm. When Stottlemeyer is arrested for murder, who else does he turn to but Monk? Twists and turns happen, of course. A nice relaxing escapism book.

Very well written and inspirational. I appreciated how she wrote about the different times in her life, some of the difficulties that we can all relate to. Her stories gave me much to think about in terms of the saints and how they relate to my own life.

This was a very interesting story about a young girl who has progeria, a disease that ages her at 8 times the normal rate. It is mostly written by her mother although Hayley (the daughter) does contribute quite a few chapters. It is very touching because you can see the pain and the fears that the parents experience and the courage that Hayley demonstrates. You can also see how Hayley goes through the typical phases of a young girl. She is very much a normal girl undergoing a very un-normal illness. Hayley is still alive and undergoing new drug experimentations.

I absolutely love this book. My husband wanted me to list this on my bookshelf to give away but I said no way. I've planned 3 parties using the ideas from this book. The Pirate party was a success for my then 5 year old son and the whole family really enjoyed planning it. We had an upside down, backwards party for my then 8 year old daughter and it was the talk of the class that year. We've also done the creative artist party. That worked, too, but...I'm not gifted in that department so I enlisted help there.
The handy part of this book is that it helps you be creative with everything from invitations to crafts, games, decorations and food. There are 23 parties listed. You can "steal" ideas from some of the other parties and tweak them to fit your own.
Just so you know, I am not in the least bit creative on my own when it comes to this sort of stuff. Everything I do with my kids parties (and there are five kids) I've picked up from other sources. This book is an excellent source if you want to give your child a home party that they'll remember years from now.

I would be very careful about any book that proclaims Mary as the "goddess of the Americas" and speaks of "worship." Catholics do not consider her to be a goddess nor do they worship Mary.

I enjoyed this book tremendously. Easy reading. Brought back many memories. What I liked especially about it was that there was no smearing of famous people. If you're looking for dirt, it's not there. Just a fun read.
