I loved everything about this gem of a book... so many unique voices, each one speaks to me in its lyrical way. I am not a 'daughter of the west,' I'm from the east. When I read the how these women live their lives--how they describe the work, the reverence for the land, the livestock, the way the sun rises and sets each day--my heart races just a little bit and I long to be one of them.

I fell in love with this little book at first reading. The great, kid-empowering theme and the absolutely outstanding 3-D illustrations pulled me swiftly into the pages and I could just see myself reading this to my little granddaughter. I could point out colors, shapes, kids and just tons of brightly-colored objects to her. Yes, beginner readers will love it too. Ive seen a lot of childrens books, but these illustrations are unusual and wonderful.  I think the cover page letters could have been brighter, but thats such a minor point compared to the whole book. Dont miss this one.

What a little gem this is! Not only is it written beautifully but the storyline and characters are thoroughly captivating. Each one is developed into someone entertaining and fun to read about, from the good guys to the bad. The romance blossoming between Cain and Felicity has a sweet yet intense chemistry that draws one in, hook line and sinker. Thank goodness there are more books to read, I don't want to stop now!

This little book brought immeasurable delight to me. I am fascinated by spirituality and mysticism; this is especially true as it relates to Christianity. Im constantly on the lookout for books and other resources that I might learn from to glean deeper understanding about the mysteries of the consciousness and the divine. Since Christianity finds its roots in the Jewish faith, I was excited about reading this book from Rabbi Lawrence Kushner, Jewish Spirituality: A Brief Introduction for Christians. It would be an understatement to say I was not disappointed. This is a remarkably winsome book to be so packed with wisdom and spiritual depth I dearly love when truth and wisdom is packaged in bite-sized nuggets that you can chew on for daysweeksyears, and still continue to plumb deeper and deeper layers of fruit.

There are seventeen chapters not including an introduction, afterword, and suggested resources section. The chapters are collected in sections that relate to Creation, Torah, Commandment, and Holy One. The average length of a chapter is around three pages, and herein lays the beauty of this tiny tome. The chapters are very short and very simple, but for those willing to linger in the simplicity of these stories, they will be rewarded with the wisdom of sages and an understanding of Creator God they may not have previously known. This, of course, affects every facet of life and fuels the consciousness on to deeper awareness and integration with life everywhere. God is. And so are we.

I am grateful for this book as it has sparked an interest in the ancient writings and interpretations of Holy Scripture from the Rabbis of old. I will be looking for additional resources for my study and likely purchasing some translations of Midrash. Fortunately, in the back of this book there are a number of suggested publications for me to start with. I look forward to the journey.

Having finished this little gem of a book, I wanted to hop on the next plane to Phnom Penh! It was light-hearted and upbeat but thoroughly comprehensive, covering everything from history to festivals to safety tips to every imaginable social situation. The organization of information was logical and systematic, which made it easy to take it all in. The illustrations were fun too. The message I took from the book was that if you understand the people and the culture, you'll have a wonderful experience in Cambodia!

I had every intention of reading one entry in this devotional each day, but oh how my plans have been thwarted because of the rhythm, beauty, and truth in the author's words! I inhaled this jewel in about two days!

This book is probably the most comforting and relatable gem that I've ever had the pleasure of reading in the piles of books I have combining the subjects of singleness, self-worth, and spirituality. Tamara Gibbs takes some of the toughest parts about being single and exposes them in a way that makes those of us who share her marital status category, know that we're not alone, crazy, or too high maintenance.

I love the way she talks about the good and the bad parts of singlehood, inviting us to celebrate with her and cry with her.  She never makes it about "keep yourself pure" so you can attract the right one, nor about being a constant party girl so you look like you're having so much fun that all men will be drawn to you. She simply shares her experiences with humility and humor; poses questions that help you discover, cope, and celebrate; and gives you hope that, no matter who does or does not come to sweep you off your feet, you can and will be ok.
This devotional is a true treasure and comfort for your soul.

When I finished reading this absolute gem of a book, I was astonished to find myself sitting there, feeling my heart chakra  open, and on the verge of shedding tears of joy. This is one of those small rare treasures of literature that quietly opens the readers heart and lets in a gentle flood of light and warmth and love. A short story written  with a deft touch and without a shred of pretense or saccarine embellishment, Gioviannis Light displays the effortless mastery of the craft, evoking Guy DeMaupassants  classic explorations of life and the human heart. Take time to savour every word. Phyllis Theroux has truly written one for the ages.

As a person who resisted learning about sales for years and years and even more years, I have to admit that this book is enlightening. When I finally realized, much to my surprise, that selling is about effective communication, my whole perspective changed.

This wonderful little book is a gem! Every chapter provides great ideas that anyone can use to improve their communication skills, whether they are selling professionally, or just selling ideas to their families and friends.

I LOVED IT and recommend it to any person who wants to free him- or herself from fear of criticism and rejection, and replace the fear with a confident ability to get ideas across with ease.

I have read this little book about four times now, it is so interesting.  Clara reminds me of my Grandmother(s), with her humor and outlook on life.  Her tips and stories are practical and entertaining all at the same time.  She is absolutely adorable, and I admire her life-time habits of thrift and saving, and re-using everything.  What a total gift this is for everyone.  I want to get her dvd's now!
