Book Description

Here is the rare book that not only expresses a parent's love for their child, but offers a hope for what that love will become. It begins with a wish at bedtime, as parents hold their children tight and hope their love will cradle them, safe and sound. It continues through the day their children have grown up, proud and strong, and can pass that love on to someone else. This is a book that goes beyond a parent's "I love you" to the generous wish that our children will make the world a better place.

My book came in great condition and very quickly. I didn't expect to get it as fast as I did. Thanks.

5 out of 5 stars If you do are not moved by this book, you are not human..........2007-07-14

For women who have children, for those who don't this book is a MUST read. It covers a child's life span from birth to later years when the child is grown. Amazing book.

5 out of 5 stars To share with children of all ages.......2007-03-11

This lovely book, through its tender prose and wonderful illustrations, reminds us that love and respect are the most enduring legacy we can give our children. The timeless message: from infancy in the security of our parents' arms, to the time we must be strong for our elders, the child who is loved is able to return that gift, again and again.

I'll be sharing this book with friends of all ages for years to come.

3 out of 5 stars The Grandfather doesn't make it.......2007-03-04

You cannot read this without crying. Believe me! With that in mind, how the heck do you read it to a young child without him/her seeing you loose it? Definitely NOT a bedtime story book.

This book is for a parent who wants to read something that deeply expresses how they feel about their children and then cry about it.

I prefer to let my child/grandchildren know how I feel without the melodrama (and potential associated psychological damage).

I gave 3 stars because the illustrations are true art.

5 out of 5 stars love it.......2007-02-16

This is a love poem from parent to child. The poem lets the child know that the parent will always love them. No matter how old the child gets he will still be a child that is loved by his parents. There is a page where the parent is now a old lay and the son brings his children to visit. The illustrations show the grandchild gets the grandma's cane for her. This was my favorite part because my kids to this for MY grandmother each time we visit!



This captured what is in the heart of parents every where. Children grow up fast and we need to let them know how much they mean to us.



Yes It would make a great bed time story.

Book Description

For the millions of girls--and the women they grow into--who are mad about horses, who live to ride, who spend more time in stables than stores, who know the difference between a hock and the fetlock, comes a sweet, charming, wise, obsessive celebration of the bond between woman and horse. Written and illustrated by Bonnie Timmons, the award-winning artist whose signature squiggly style was seen every week on NBC's hit show Caroline in the City and is featured in places ranging from The New York Times to Fortune 500 advertising campaigns, Hold Your Horses is 144 full-color pages of irresistible pleasure and unexpected horse sense.

It starts with First Love, moving quickly to Lessons, including the gallop: a gait so fast your worries can't keep up, and jumping: just throw your heart over first, and, of course, falling-otherwise known as an unscheduled dismount. There are tips on Buying One of These Things, plus the truth about Care and Feeding. (The trick here is knowing how much your horse weighs. Easy, really: 1. Weigh yourself. 2. Weigh yourself holding the horse. 3. Subtract 1 from 2.) And Horsekeeping Truths: A horse knows what you know. He also knows what you don't know. Written out of a lifelong love, Hold Your Horses gets to the heart of the passion that horses inspire. Every horsewoman will see herself in its pages.

5 out of 5 stars Hold Your Horses.......2007-08-06

Anyone that deals with horses on a daily basis will enjoy this little book of quips. I don't think I read one thing in it that is not true. However, it will take a good reader only 30-45 min to read. I have passed it to all my horse friends and all have enjoyed it equally.

3 out of 5 stars More of a Kid's Book.......2007-01-31

It is a fun read but more geared to children.

I didn't realize it was like a cartoon type book. I was very disappointed in it. Would recommened it for the younger horse lovers in your family who enjoy reading cartoons but who can learn something from it also.

5 out of 5 stars Fun Story!.......2007-01-10

I bought this book for my horse-crazy 12-year old niece. It is a very cute book and delivers on its promises. She was tickled to receive it and will no doubt get hours of enjoyment out of it.

Book Description

Is it impossible to let go — despite the pain?

• Do you yearn for someone who is not physically or emotionally available to you?
• Do you believe that if you love him enough he will have to love you?
• When you feel insecure, does it drive you only to want her more?
• Do you find yourself phoning repeatedly or waiting long hours for the phone to ring?

Do you wish someone would let go of you?

• Does an ex-lover or ex-spouse refuse to believe that it’s over?
• Do you receive unwanted phone calls, letters, presents, or visits?
• Is this pursuit of you creating so much anxiety that it affects your physical or emotional well-being?

In this invaluable self-help guide, Dr. Susan Forward presents vivid case histories as well as the real-life voices of men and women caught in the grip of obsessive passion.

Whether you’re an obsessive lover or the target of such an obsession, here is a proven, step-by-step program that shows you how to recognize the “connection compulsion,” what causes it, and how to break its hold on your life so that you can go on to build healthy, lasting, and pain-free relationships.

4 out of 5 stars It was a pretty good book.......2007-01-16

I can't remember how I found out about Obsessive Love. I started looking up things on the internet and came on to this topic. I have been going to counseling for Co-Dependency which has not helped, but I started reading and before I knew it I realized I am a OBSESSIVE LOVER.
But a passive one. Not into hurting anyone, I was hurting myself with worry, and hoping, not wanting to give up what love I had, not hardly sleeping only constant worrying if she would ever come back.
The book was pretty good during the main reading but I got boored and skipped to the main stuff as to getting help, whick is about 2/3rds on back in the book.
I am now making a log, which is what she said to do of 6 things every time you think of that person write it all down. Take it to a counselor if you have one for help.
The part about talking to a chair as if you are in it, is a good thing and I have started using that process also. I think that is a good idea.
The book was informative and I learned who I was, and going to a Counselor is also important. BTW: Take a tape recorder and record your sesson.
I got the book at the library after reading off the internet about it, then I found her book. Got it at a good price used. Will keep around if needing it again. WISHED there was a CD or TAPE about this process to heal. Haven't found one yet. We all will get better, there is no ONE PERSON for you or a SOUL MATE , there are many out there, this I know because after you get over the Obsessive Love you have for this person, you will find someone else and the person you WERE Obsessive over will be a momory. I have been there before. GOOD LUCK AND I KNOW YOU WILL HEAL.
Please Let me know some way how your doing.

5 out of 5 stars A great book.......2004-11-01

Its a great book for those in a painful relationship. Its just worth reading.

5 out of 5 stars Superb!.......2000-03-09

There are a lot of people who think that divorce is wrong, or a full-blown sin. I believe all of those people, as well as others, should read this book. Dr. Forward points out that leaving a relationship is a right, not a privilege, and gives an insightful portrait into the motivations of people, married, divorced, or single, who just can't let go. PLEASE READ!

5 out of 5 stars A victory of an American family over the ugliness of war.........2000-02-21

A splendid book. The plot is intricate. The characters are well developed and believable. This book is an interesting study of the changes in the role of family in American society from the '70s to the '90s. Patrick, Kate, Gus, Della, Donald, Ellie and Betsy have all won a place in my heart.

At the begining of the book the husband Patrick, who in my opinion is a "male chauvanist pig" goes off to war(Viet Nam). Patrick is excited to be doing what he loves best --flying. He has felt trapped in his marriage and has little respect for his wife. As an Air Force pilot, he sees freedom and adventure. He wants to be a hero. Kate,stays home to be the perfect military wife and the perfect mother to thier daughters Betsy & Ellie. She is not happy that Patrick is leaving. She is devastated. What will she do with out her childhood sweetheart and her "lord of the castle"? He has promised her that he will come back to her. She believes him. For twenty years she believes him..... she is left to raise her daughters by herself with little financial support . Finally,she is able to symbolically bury him and look to the future with hope and Patrick comes back into her life. He the tragically different but expects her to be the same a woman of the '70s not a woman of the '90s

5 out of 5 stars Great book! Sure makes you wonder........1998-07-16

To Have and to Hold was really a great book. The characters were all so fantastic. You just love Kate & Della. What a great ending too.

4 out of 5 stars High quality reading-true to human emotions.......1998-07-06

'To Have and to Hold' was the best fiction book I have read thus far. It describes every key event in detail so that you feel like you are there living it with the main character, Kate. She becomes your friend quickly as you see her not only survive a terrible event, but come out on top with the aid of two incredible friends.

True to the deepest of human emotions do not be surprised if you cry and feel various emotions as Kate ages. Her feelings directly match those of people in her situation and maturing character. For example, she feels mixed emotions as her daughter leaves home for the first time to get a degree. I enjoyed the placement of this story in history (Vietnam War). It enabled me to live through the event and understand what it meant to real people. The novel is also full of surprises and unexpected twists in the plot. Be prepared for a thrilling ride.

Women will find Kate to be a positive role model, but not in any simplistic manner. She truly earns our respect by picking up her life from the most desperate situation of pity to personal control and achievement. Her deep commitment to her loved ones is admirable and a tribute to love at its best. The story will teach you essential things you need to live a successful life, such as perseverence, loving oneself, faithfulness, and learning to let go of the past as you forge your future.

I did find a small part of the book 'a bit much' when the character meets a new man. Sharing every interest from thoughts to favorite drinks seems almost too much at times. I felt we had departed reality for a brief time and was disappointed that an author who had just built up such a true, tragic story made meeting someone to be a 'Cinderella Experience.' This relationship had no difficulties; it was like 'floating on a cloud.'

However, enough said. The thrust of my review only can praise the wonderful writings of a masterful author. She must have great depth of character and experience to write with such accuracy and beauty. I appl! aud her. A must read!!

5 out of 5 stars tight and right!.......2007-10-01

Got this book a couple of days ago and I'm really digging it! It's really on point with everything I've seen so far ... strong, straightforward, sensible, and very pragmatic. Great insights, great reminders, great tools, and probably the best book I've seen for men in the last 20 years.

Very accessible and highly recommended for any man bugged by that nagging feeling that he's settling for less from himself than he wants and deserves.

5 out of 5 stars Ready for Prime Time!.......2007-09-11

I have read and re-read Wayne's book and have now given copies to five close male friends. We all agree the information in this book is invaluable and has helped us to better understand how to get what we want out of our relationships, while helping us get what we need as men to grow and prosper. The book is well written and makes for an enjoyable read. Many times I find myself re-reading a chapter or reviewing the "Tools", "Tips" or "Bettermen Actions" for practical advice on handling a situation.

In short, this book is a quick read which will have a great impact on you and your relationships. I highly recommend this book due to its direct and no non-sense approach. Based on the many responses from my friends, I can see Wayne and this book heading for prime time TV in the very near future.

Enjoy!

5 out of 5 stars Men's Bible.......2007-08-15

I recently bought a copy of the book for a close friend who is on the board of The ManKind Project in Denver, CO. He read it and said that his group has been working toward the same ends as Wayne Levine since 1985, but that Wayne's book was a Bible to men who wanted to know how to do men's work. He called ait a simple how-to manual for men, and I cannot for the life of me say it better than he did! You owe it to yourself to use this book daily to be who you want to be.

5 out of 5 stars Simple and Effective.......2007-08-09

Wayne Levines book is full of very imporant - and suprisingly simple - ideas. They are the sorts of things you wish you would have been told by your dad 30 years ago. It's hard to put into words how powerful the information can be and how profoundly it can affect your life - check it out for yourself.

5 out of 5 stars Could also stand for "Now Understanding Things!".......2007-08-09

If I had a dollar for every "light bulb" moment I had while reading this book, let's just say I'd be able to hire someone to read it to me again, while on vacationing on the Galapagos Islands, that I would have recently purchased. Seriously though, Wayne has a way of deciphering relationships into the most elemental truths and basic concepts. It is truly a manual, more like a survival guide, on how to navigate through life's relationships, The funny thing is, I find a lot of women get this book out of curiosity and agree with everything Wayne says.

Book Description

Barbara Taylor Bradford provides three engrossing, unabridged examples of the skills that have made her the mega-selling queen of the romantic page-turner.

Love In Another Town is the stirring account of a woman's attempt to forge a new life after a failed marriage and estrangement from her grown children. When Maggie Sorrell falls in love with the much younger Jake Cantrell, she begins an emotional renewal that must overcome the disapproval of others as well as the shackles of the past.

Everything To Gain tells the heart-wrenching story of a woman whose perfect life, in one tragic and violent moment, is turned into one of devastating loss and despair. Following the senseless murder of her husband and children, Mallory Keswick's life seems to have no purpose, and she considers ending it. The kindness of her late husband's mother starts Mallory on the road to discovering talent she never knew she had. The story of her recovery and salvation is told with the sensitivity and drama that the millions of Bradford fans have come to expect.

A Secret Affair adds the romantic backgrounds of the Venetian canals, the exclusive beaches of the Hamptons, and the danger-fraught cityscape of wartime Sarajevo to the story of the illicit love affair between a young artist and a famous TV newsman. The desperate measures they must take in order to be together and the gripping events that envelop their lives result in an exceptionally moving story.

5 out of 5 stars Drooling, as I read.......2007-06-10

This is one of those satisfying recipe books that includes the reader in. The dialogue is chatty and warm and the recipes all sound delicious. Just as her original Baking Book is. A winner !

3 out of 5 stars Quantity over quality . . . .......2007-01-10

I'll give her credit, Rosie has a large selection of recipes to choose from, but the basic layout of this cookbook is not ideal, and her measurements are a bit freaky. You'll see 1 cup + 6 tablespoons of flour(isn't that a third of a cup?) Or 12 tablespoons of butter, or 6 tablespoons of milk . . . Again, couldn't that be converted to something more mainstream, like liquid ounces? And the recipes are frequently not all on one page, so you get to flip back and forth from the ingredients to the directions. Her writing is very chatty and comforting, but the recipies I've tried (and there have been several) have only been OK - not memorable.

5 out of 5 stars Such a great compliment to Rosie's baking book!.......2006-06-06

I enjoy this book as much as I do the baking book. I have never had a cookbook with so many 5* recipes. The recipe people request the most is the Baker's Best Snickerdoodles. Unbeatable.

5 out of 5 stars This Is The Best Cookie Book Ever!!!!!.......2005-12-23

I couldn't beleive how good the cookies are in this book. She is so on the money with every single one. The one that really rocks are the Fudgie Wudgies cookies. Every time I make these, people want more. The 1st time i tasted one fresh out of the oven. I thougth the top of my head was going to come off. I can't wait for her to come out with another cook book. I bought her cake cook book aswell. And that is just as good as the cookie cook book.
Thank you so very much for writing these 2 cook books.

5 out of 5 stars This is a REAL cookbook!.......2005-04-02

Every young bride should start with a cookbook as good as this one! The cookbooks that use 'quick' items, or 'premixed' items are not really for cooks that enjoy the entire process of making recipes. If you enjoy the process of really cooking, this book is for you! I am an exprienced cook, I don't really need all the detail, but it is much appreciated anyway. I don't know everything there is to know, the amount of time to stir, cook, and what the item looks like after you bake it are all very helpful. There are not pictures in this book, but I am having no problem finding recipes to make. Each one has been better than good. The brownies! UGH! They are to die for, they have started me on a brownie baking frenzy. All I can say is thank you so much for making the 2 cookbooks. I am so glad I do not live close to the bakery that she owns, I would not be able to keep away. I bought Kitchen Aid Mixers for several brides that I knew, it is my firm belief that all young brides should own one, if I would have known about this book, they would have gotten it, also. cindy

Product Description

The year 2007 will mark the quadricentennial anniversary of America s first colony--Jamestown, Virginia. In honor of this exciting benchmark, Vision Forum has published a newly revised edition of the Jamestown tercentennial classic, To Have and to Hold, an historical novel depicting the trials, struggles, and triumphs of the colony's early years. Written from a distinctly Christian perspective, "To Have and to Hold" brings to life America s birth, weaving a story of adventure and intrigue with providence and perseverance in colonial Jamestown, while outlining the trials endured by our forefathers as they built the New World. Read about swashbucklers, savages, and noblemen, as fictional characters mingle with the real Jamestown leaders and colonists. Seen through the eyes of Ralph Percy--a valiant warrior protecting and cherishing his wife, his duty, and the honor of God's holy law--"To Have and to Hold" will leave you with an appreciation for the sacrifice of those who have gone before, and a better understanding of our nation's history.

5 out of 5 stars Still In My Heart.......2007-01-27

I read this book in High School. Its still in my heart, I have never forgotten it. I'm now 60 years old.

5 out of 5 stars To Have and To Hold by Mary Johnston, 1901.......2006-12-12

My parents read this story to my brother and me when we were 6 & 8. It starts out slowly but gets really good, really fast. It has Indians, pirates, swordfights, one of the best (worst) villains ever (& his evil cohort), betrayal, sacrifice, true love and ventriloquism. We LOVED the story then and, as adults, came to appreciate it on new levels. Same goes for my son, now grown up, to whom I gave the same privilege of great story-telling as a kid. There's a 1947(?) movie based on the book but the book itself, of course, can tell more of the story with the very best illustrations - those from your own imagination.

5 out of 5 stars Great book! Very timely!.......2006-11-30

I have read this book at least twice now and have enjoyed it both times! The storyline will keep you engaged and eagerly turning the pages until the very end so beware! Don't start this book if you only have a half hour to read! You won't want to put it down! Also a great, historically accurate picture of life in colonial Jamestown. Just in time for Jamestown's 400th anniversary.

Book Description

Charlotte Zolotow's collection of five stories and poems focuses on the subjects young children care most about: love and family. Here are the quintessential experiences of childhood: a baby uttering his first words; a young girl taking a walk with her Dad on a summer night; a big brother with a tag-along little brother, and more. With tender and exuberant watercolors by Carol Thompson, this is a collection to be shared and treasured.

3 out of 5 stars Use with Caution.......2007-03-11

The first story is wonderfully sweet and really adorable. I loved it! Then comes a poem, again it's wonderful. Then the book takes a turn for the worse. The next two stories are full of siblings teasing each other without any involvement or guidance from the parents. Definately not the model of a loving relationship between siblings! The last story seems cute at first, until you realize how good this little girl is at manipulating her clueless father. Reading that one is just asking a child to try "I'm not tired" as a means for getting to stay up late. Bleh, no thanks!
I'd still recommend this book, but only for the first story and the first poem. Skip the rest.

IF MY LOVE COULD HOLD YOU

Charlotte Augusta Butterworth might be all manners and starch on the surface, but Reed Walker knew that inside there was a woman of passion and fire. She saved this handsome stranger from the gallows. He couldn't just walk away, no matter how much she protested to the contrary. Reed wanted to give her back her life as she had given back his. He needed to show her there was more to living than hurt, mistrust, and disappointment. So he gave her his love. But he couldn't promise her his future. . . .

This book made me laugh and cry. I could'nt put this book down. Elaine Coffman describes things so vivdly it's like watching a movie when I read her books. This is the 4th one I've read and the best so far I would have to say.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent ,Wonderful book.......2003-01-29

One of those books that are hard to forget and a love story that is easy to believe. Elaine Coffman became one of my favorite authors with this beautiful novel. I am an avid fan of Judith Mcnaught, Jude Deveraux and Johanna Lindsey and I added Coffman to my list because of this book.

5 out of 5 stars Great book.......2001-10-18
