Ron Hall, Denver Moore

Thomas Nelson, 2008

Outstanding, Compelling
Outstanding book! While my book club members had mixed reviews on this book, I thoroughly enjoyed it. It has a strong spirituality/religious message, which I mostly set aside. What was compelling to me was the cross-cultural relationship between the two authors, and ...

All the Pretty Horses

Cormac Mccarthy

Vintage, 1993

Definitely a Acquired Taste
I have looked at some of the reviews here, and am a bit surprised as the number of people who hated this book. It is a challenge to read, but this is no "Ulysses." The main themes can be understood with a little careful attention. Some have compared McCarthy's style to ...

Lee Nelson, Tysen Streib, ...

Huntington Press, 2007

Pays for itself...

NAL Jam, 2006

I really liked it.
I don't know what everone's complaining about! I really liked this book! But just to let you know, it really is a young adults book. I, like all the other Twilight fans, was depressed that the series was over, but now I think I've found something else to get into ...

Excellent, this book will help your game
This series (I own all three) is very well written. Volume three is the workbook, which essentially a book-length quiz that you then grade yourself on, but it is very well done. I was able to identify weaknesses in my game and improve. Highly recommended. I say ...
