This book offers beautiful, short snippits of character building stories and pictures about boys all inspired by passaged from Proverbs. Having 4 sons myself, I've come to cherish the little sticky fingers and dandelion arrangements given to me over the years. This book allows you to snuggle with your little one and appreciate what God has given you while enjoying the beautiful pictures and wisdom of Authors Jim and Elizabeth George.

This book has beautiful pictures and a Bible verse which relates to each wise trait that is mentioned. It was a great purchase.

Incredible pictures! Excellent wisdom for young boys...reminds us of character qualities that are lost in this day and age for males!

My son is not even two yet and this is one of his favorites. I have read several "Proverbs" to him from the book every night for the past 6 months or so and now he asks for the book before nap time too! If I forget to read it to him before bed, he reminds me by saying "boys." The pictures are fabulous and because the proverbs are made into poems, it's appropriate for even very young little boys. I am thinking of buying a copy to take apart and frame some of the pictures (& poems) for his bedroom. If you're looking for a book that teaches great character, you've found it!

This is an outstanding books for little boys! I've given two: at each of my grandson's baby dedications. It has a place to write a special message to commemorate the date and occasion for giving, and I think it is a book that will truly grow up with the child and be a treasured keepsake. The illustrations are beautifully rendered in soft watercolors and has that old time look of little boys in days gone by. The values reinforced here (whether you are Christian or not) are what we all desire for our little men to learn so that they will grow up to be men of character. FIVE STARS!!!!!!!!

This book was awesome! It was purchased as a gift for my 13-year-old son who loved it. It was full of interesting pictures, facts, and stories about the great white shark. He considers it one of the best books in his "shark library".

This is an excellent work about the most feared creature in the ocean. I've always had an interest in marine biology, and sharks in particular, and this book embodies both biological and cultural information about one of my favorite animals. McCosker and Ellis give the great white a fair shake, and while they acknowledge "Jaws" as an excellent film, they also debunk the fallacies of it (i.e. great whites are not 30 feet long, and only very rarely do they attack humans). I appreciated the considerable section of the book that discusses "Jaws"; I feel as though it was necessary to include this information in a book about great whites since that film is the only source of information about sharks that some individuals have been exposed to. Great book, great read...and well worth the price!

A wonderful, excellent, magnificent look at the natural history of the Great White. Written from a scientific perspective but easily accessible to everyone, this book covers biology, feeding, fishing, filming, attacks, and the exploitation of great whites. Nearly every page has superb photos and/or illustrations, and the authors do an excellent job of making the sharks an animal to be respected but neither irrationally feared nor glorified. The text covers all aspects of the shark's natural history, but never gets so in-depth as to be boring. Highly recommended.

I'm not sure why, but I'm a bit of a shark freak. I got this book for Christmas, and I read it all the way through without putting it down. Granted, a lot of this information wasn't new, but it was presented very nicely. The pictures are fantastic, and I enjoyed the extras about other sharks.

I think children as well as adults would enjoy this book. I wound up getting other people (who don't much care for the subject) interested in the pictures and short articles in this book.

Subjects treated include biology, geography, behavior, history, and interaction with man.

The book is great with its info. I could not believe the horror of the picture of the beautiful woman Shirley Anne Durdin and when they describe her being eaten alive...what it must have felt like. The people who watched the shark swim away from their boat said they could see tattered wads of her once-beautiful flesh dangling from its teeth and her arm sticking out. Worse than any scene in "Jaws."

Explore the world of handmade tiles with this beautiful resource book. Various techniques are also discussed.

Thsi is a tile maker's bible. I find it thorough, helpful and ful of ideas and how tos. I recommend it to those who wish to explore the proces.

Frank Giorgini writes a great book! This is a well laid out book with good instructions and fabulous ideas. It provides excellent technical knowledge and inspirational images. I come back to this book time and time again to renew the creative ideas. A must for all ceramics lovers.

This is a very informative source for anyone interested in exploring handmade tiles. It addresses several techniques. I was especially interested in the press mold section of the book. Pictures and dialogue are clear and concise. There are a lot of images for inspiration. But what do you expect from Lark Books! They always put together great resource books. Enjoy!

I purchased this book as a gift and decided to buy one for myself. It is a great reference book for anyone interested in making their own tiles.

I bought this book after I gave birth to a stillborn son. I was crushed beyond words and was looking for some hope. While I agreed with most of the book and understood the author's point, I do not believe she got at the true heart of God. I believe that God uses all things for good, but he does not bring senseless, horrific suffering into our lives just so we can learn something. For example, I do not believe it was God's purpose, plan, or desire that my baby be stillborn. Also, where does the love, comfort, and "hope" come from? More focus could have been put on who God is and how he cares for us and less focus put on us learning an impossible lesson during a time of terrible sorrow.

We had listened to her interview on Family LIfe Radio and were really touched by that. So I was a bit disappointed to not have more of that feeling. The Bible study looked fine.

Don't even think about reading this withough kleenex. The reflections are thoughtout and heartwarming. Well worth the brief time it will take you to read.

THIS WAS ONE OF THE MANY BOOKS I READ AFTER MY MISCARRIAGE. THIS IS BY FAR THE BEST STUDY AND LINK TO SOLACE AND UNDERSTANDING THAT GOD HAS TO PROVIDE THAT I HAVE FOUND. I WAS LOOKING FOR AN ANSWER FROM GOD OF WHY AND HOW. THIS BOOK GAVE ME A PATH AND WAYS TO COPE AND HEAL THROUGH BIBLE VERSE AND DISCUSSION OF JOB.

COME TO COPE AND BUILD STRENGTH THROUGH LOSS WITH GOD THROUGH THIS GENUINE BIBLE STUDY. I HOPE IT BRINGS AS MUCH FAITH AND UNDERSTANDING TO OTHERS AS IT BROUGHT TO ME.

I found this book 4 years ago in Walmart, my Mom had just passed away, and my Father 2 yrs before her. Being a Christian it helped me see God's hand through the losses we had experienced.
Since that time I believe I have purchased almost 10 more books. Giving them to people in the pain of their loss, recently my husband had a student pass away at school, heart failure, at a very young age. Another to a young Mom whose baby passed away from an infection.
As inexpensive as these books are, purchase more than one, that is why I am at the website again..... another loss.... but God is there.

Human All Too Human and Daybreak can be considered as volumes one and two of the same work. As Nietzsche said in Ecce Homo, a careful reading predicates a full understanding of his later polemics. Here, the bombast is not yet as evident but the seismic rumblings of the will to power, the eternal return, the death of god, the over and last-men all are all foreshadowed in Nietzsche's grand, classical deftness and precision of thought. Nietzsche's largest printed work, HAtH has perhaps the broadest and best sustained discussions of nearly every topic of importance to thoughtful and reflective thinkers. This, together with Dawn is a great place to begin reading Nietzsche.

In response to some of the prattlings below-only those who do not know the first thing about Nietzsche think that he was at all anti-Semitic. He wrote clearly, very clearly, against that and against nationalism. In one of his books he stated that Germany should not admit any more Jews inside of her borders. Why? Because he felt that the German people lacked an identity, and knew that Jewish people had a very strong identity. He did not think that Germany, weak and unrealized as it was, could stand an influx of a people that he repeatedly characterized as remarkable.

I am somewhat obsessed with Nietzsche, and this book started it all. Do not dive into his later, more well known masterpieces (Beyond Good and Evil, the Genealogy of Morals, The Gay Science) without acquainting yourself with this book. It is an introduction to his style, and there is no better example of his mastery of psychological observations. In this book he comments on all elements of social reality ("no one thinks to thank the clever man for restraining his wit when in the company of those who cannot practice wit" for example), going into love, friendship, the tenor of social gatherings, absolutely everything that is psychologically investigatable. He brings this method to his later books, in which he tackles larger issues, like the history of religion, philosophy, morality, and other things. But it all starts here-his later critiques of Christianity and everything else are far more understandable after a thorough acquaintance with his psychological method, first and best presented here. If you are at all sensitive and introspective, this book will move you to tears more than a few times.

If you like aphorisms and philosophy, this book will become one of your bibles. If nothing else, it's just plain fun to read for his incredible wit. Of course you have to put his ideas in the context of the period in which he wrote and understand that he has his own odd prejudices, but the brilliance of his understanding of the human condition really shines through. The biggest mistake any reader could make is to think Nietzsche was an anti-semite---far from it. He was anti-neanderthal. In this book especially the reader sees his low tolerance for received wisdom. This book is nothing less than part of the origin of Western psychology as practiced today. It also represents the demolition of science and philosophy polluted by the received Western theological framework. Some of the best parts are when he skewers religion. You have to love his style even if you do not agree with his pessimistic disgust for piety. This is the kind of philosophy book you need not fret over, unless you harbor wishful thinking about a supremely benevolent deity. Instead of making an elaborate argument about the number of angels that can dance on the head of a pin, as preceeding systematic philosophers did literally and figuratively, Nietzsche bends the pin and throws it in the trash. I wish I had read this before his Genealogy of Morals, as knowing his thoughts here would have made that book far more interetsing and understandable. I highly recommend philosophy students first approaching Nietzsche pick up Human, All Too Human to start their study. And if you are religious and want to bolster your faith, well, you should stay far away from this book.

O.k. So I have a minor in philosophy and Nietzsche was one of my inspirations to pursue this as a degree in college. Nietzsche deals with androgony. In more modern terms, men and women are crossing over the line of androgeny with their jock image. They are getting more and more androgynous you can't distunguish between even basic differences between the sexes anymore. While my philosophy professor and classmates dismissed Nietzsche as "not being a first rate philosopher," he does have his points about god and androgeny. This is part of our changing world and in philosophy class I did make my points.

if you want to have your moral foundations knocked out from under you, read this book - and then build upon the ruins - Nietzsche's, in my opinion, most accessible work, as his aphoristic style floats over many different topics - don't stop here however, i recommend Kauffman's "Nietzsche, Philosopher, Psychologist, AntiChrist" as a starter if you find the complexity and diversity of Nietzsche's thought to be overwhelming or incomprehensible - he's frequently ambiguous and contradictory but it's more a positive trademark of his works and shouldn't dissuade one from further readings.

I picked up two Pocket Postman books at a flea market in England when I traveled there for work. Both my daughter and I have really enjoyed them. There is so much to read and explore, the books never get old or memorized. She loves to find the letters in the pockets and I love the inferences to English life and nursery rhyme allusions. They're my favorite children's books!

The Jolly Pocket Postman is a book that most people can enjoy. It takes pieces of childre's fairy tales and combines them to form an adventure for the postman. The book is written in rhymes which makes the book fun to read and listen to.

the book uses olorful illustrations with relaxing tones. the pictures appear humorous with random objects incorparated in them. I thoroughly enjoyed the book and recommend it to everyone with young children.

This is such a cool book. My mom liked it - my sister liked it - everybody does who's read it, I bet! Way cool book - get it if you can!

It's an amazing book full of fairy tale characters and charming coloured pictures with lots of tiny details which you can explore for hours! Children will love to take REAL postcards and letters out of their real envelopes which you will find almost on each page! The auther's originality, sence of humour and wit make grownups admire the book as well as children. I really loved it and recommend it to anyone who has sence of humor, who likes rhimes and tiny pictures - in that case you'll read this book over and over again!

My 12 year old niece and I are reading this book together. It is a great book for anyone. There is a lot of neat little tools tucked inside the pages. There is a surprise at every turn of the page. Highly recommend this to anyone.

This helps to bring depth and greater understanding to the verses from the bible. I'm so glad I found Life Application Study Bible in my search for help on interpretation at Amazon. I highly recommend it to anyone.

She told me exactly which bible she wanted. I came to Amazon and found it cheaper than elsewhere.

Great version of the Bible. Like the larger print. Saw this book in a Christian bookstore, but would rather buy through Amazon! Amazon has great service!

The reviews I read were very accurate. This Bible is very easy to read due to the print size; however it is heavy and a little cumbersome to carry as you would an ordinary book. I have no regrets for purchasing the book.

Compact, great pictures, well indexed. It won't scream "TOURIST" when you pull it out of your bag. I got this one and the Paris book. Used them exclusively. Barely opened the other ones I got.

This books gives you the 10 top sites to see and itineraries. I like the itineraries (10), because it's very simple. It reminds you that your on vacation and you don't need to be running around town to enjoy London.

This is one of the best guides out there, very detailed & full of photos of things worth seeing & comes in a neat, small size so you can easily throw it inside your back-pack.

This book is compact and easy to carry around and has all pertinent information for daily use. Maps are good and the top 10 seemed to agree with my assessment.

My wife and I love the Top 10 series. We always buy a Frommers or Rick Steves book for the trip's planning, but the Top 10 is a must for the trip itself. It'll fit in a pocket (a long one), and will provide quick and easy references to the most important sights, as well as maps and public transportation routes.

This man's innovations changed the way we build major infrastructure in the world. From a early involvement in auto racing to the most powerful earth moving equipment of his times. R.G. LeTourneau changed the way we build and power the big machines. This is a inspirational book !

This, to me, was a good example that you don't have to be cut throat to run a successful business. You don't have to be a Harvard graduate. You just need to be energized to help other people the best way you know how, and not be afraid of change, but be excited about innovation.

I could not put this book down. What a great book! One reviewer said to buy a second book to give away. I did, but I should have bought several extras! Now I'm buying more. This book has helped me to recognize God's purpose for my life and the incredible gifts He has given to each of us. A great gift for anyone, especially for someone who has ever been in the construction industry.

A must-read for every Christian, and a great tool for ministry.


Blessings to Amazon!

This was one fantastic book that I could hardly put down. It is a great story of a man with dreams that were larger then life. He always said there are no big jobs, only small machines. Mr. LeTourneau had the capacity to envision larger and larger machines to make man more productive.

This book is 290 pages short with 26 untitled chapters which cover most of Mr. LeTourneau's life. From his childhood and quiting school in the 7th grade to his struggles and almost bankruptcy, he does a great job at unfolding his life the way it happened. He tells of how his business grew during the depression and of the great success he had in creating machines to do a job that none had done before. He was laughed at by people who couldn't see the value in some of his gigantic creations which were ahead of their time. But he didn't allow other people's negativity stop him from accomplishing his goal of benefiting man by making him far more productive then he would have been otherwise.

He talks about his relationship with God and how he believed that God was with him to protect him and help him to succeed. LeTourneau lived his beliefs by helping others and starting a school called LeTourneau Collage. He had given 90% of his stock in his business to a foundation he started for the benefit of others. He is not overpowering with this but just lets his beliefs take a natural course through the book.

Overall I think anyone would really enjoy this book. It really was one of the more interesting biographies I have read. His life again proves that it doesn't matter what kind of education you have or where you are financially, the only thing that can stop you from fulfilling your dreams is yourself!

This is one of the very few books that has actually made me cry! This story is so amazing!! I would recommend this book to absolutely anyone!!!

A wonderful book - quite a change from the usual thrillers I like to read.
This was a wonderful change of pace.

I can not stop thinking about My Heart Remembers. Maybe it was the vivid descriptions, or the fact that some children have always had to fight to be loved. Or maybe Vogal just struck a nerve of compassion. By any definition, this book is a good one that will leave you contemplating the complicated process of life. And yet, one of the greatest lessons this book teaches is that God has a plan for all of us. That plan will be carried out in spite of our circumstances if we trust him. You will not only read this book, but will want it on your bookshelf to read again. My Heart Remembers would make a good book club choice.

I have read all this author's books and, although I didn't particularly care overmuch for the Sommerfield Trilogy, this one is awesome. I don't really like the Amish books, so that's why I didn't like the Sommerfield Trilogy, although it was good. Just not my cup of tea.

This book is so very good. Watching the dear children go on after losing their parents in a fire and being separated just breaks your heart in two. Especially the young man, who was cruelly treated by foster parents.

Their reunion was the most tender, heart moving thing. This book would make an excellent movie. I'm hoping that the author writes more on this family. She certainly left the door open to further visitations down the road.

Imagine losing your parents in a tragic fire, and having to travel hundreds of miles with other children to meet your new "parents." This is what happened when kids in the 1800s would lose their parents. If you were left as an orphan and had no family to step forward and take custodial and guardianship for you, you would ride aboard an "orphan train." Now, imagine pledging to your mother before she dies that you will do what you can to keep your family together. Maelle Gallagher had her younger brother and sister on the train alongside her, only to reach Missouri and be separated. Each of them has a family treasure which they can use to remember their brother and sister by, but will they ever be able to be a family again?

Each of the family treasures is of sentimental value all its own. Maelle keeps the love letters that their parents had written to each other. Mattie has a picture of the three children with their parents. Even though she is just a toddler, Molly is given the family Bible with the birthdates and full names of the children written inside it. Will these three children ever be able to match up their specific things with their siblings?

They all grow up with their adoptive parents. Maelle is taught a trade of being an on-the-road photographer. She has lost her adoptive father but has inherited his equipment. Mattie is tragically mistreated and can't wait till he grows up so he can leave. Molly is adopted by the Standlers; she is treated lavishly and lives the "rich life" until her adoptive parents died. What will happen when they all end up in the same town? Can they put the pieces back together?

Kim Vogel Sawyer has done an incredible job of writing an inspirational Christian fiction book which has its own line of mystery, history and intrigue all rolled into one volume. "My Heart Remembers" is a book which will pull at your heartstrings. What an incredible love and determination the Gallagher children have in trying to hold on to the hope of ever seeing their siblings again. I had a very difficult time putting this book down. I simply loved it and hope that Kim Vogel Sawyer is writing another book similar to this one again soon. My heart will definitely remember "My Heart Remembers" for a long time
