by: Lucy Grealy List Price: $14.95 Amazon.com's Price: $10.47 You Save: $4.48 (30%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description As Seen on TV: Provocations is a really interesting and thought-provoking book of essays by Lucy Grealy. Ms. Grealy has a way with words and thoughts; so much so that she can take a simple thing (becoming friends with a dog, for example), and turning it into thoughts about life. I hesitate to say you'll "learn something" from her essays -- even though you will -- but it's more than just learning. Ms. Grealy makes you think. And her musings are so casually written, that you can help but read on and ... Read More  Read Reviews and Description

by: Jorge G. Castaneda List Price: $16.00 Amazon.com's Price: $11.20 You Save: $4.80 (30%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description As a bit of a Cuban Revolution scholar, I found Castaneda's book to add a depth and insight found no where else in the Che literature. The volume of footnotes may frighten some off, but they can mostly be ignored. This book gives a remarkable sense of the incredibly difficult task of actually trying to run a country after a revolution and in the face of such opposition. While much of the book is complex research at its' best, the final chapter is a thing of beauty. Castaneda give meaning to both the life of ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

| 1444. Joseph Great Lives Series: Volume 3 | |
|
by: Charles R. Swindoll List Price: $22.99 Amazon.com's Price: $16.09 You Save: $6.90 (30%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description Although my favorite Joseph book is 'With Joseph in the University of Adversity: the Mizraim Principles', by Dr. Parks, this one is a close second! If you want a pastor's heart in the telling of the story--this one is best! If you want sound principles for everyday life that you or a graduate can use, and really well-organized--go with Parks (if you can get your hands on a copy!). Swindoll does this as part of a series, and it's excellent! These are the best two Joseph books around. Read Reviews and Description

by: Torey Hayden Amazon.com's Price: $6.99 Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description Kevin was extremely fortunate to have someone as dogged, dedicated and determined as Torey Hayden enter his life. The holocaust of his past would hurt even the most stalwart person and it is truly refreshing to know that there are folks out there who will make that extra effort to improve somebody's life. Ms. Hayden's "Little Sister" Charity's inclusion in the story added a much needed and enriching element. I think they ended up balancing one another well. It is with great pride that I can honestly say I have read each one of ... Read More Read Reviews and Description
