I dont think so but a wonderfull book all the same, buy it you wont be sorry. I would also recommend Asking for Trouble by Kristina LLoyd, Shameless by Stella Black and Mother Tongue by John Helmer. A few more efforts and Laura will be up there with the greats!

What do you think this book may cost

when my wife, Jennifer, died in June 2000. There is a time of spiritual suffering that every believer must face. There are the great questions, the deep valleys followed by even deeper ones. There is incredible and acute loneliness, followed by guilt at the occasional joy and laughter.

I struggled very much after losing my Jennifer. The Psalms, in which so many find comfort, were difficult. Any kind of "discipline" in my spiritual life seemed impossible. It was so hard to structure my day, and even harder to find time to engage in the spiritual disciplines to shape (and re-shape) my relationship with God. The despair simply built and built.

I was able to find my way, through the help of many friends, but I can tell you now that I wish I had had this book a year ago. What a difference it would have made to be able to follow the daily office with texts built around the pain of grief.

There is something about praying the Psalms. They are ordained praise, regardless of your meaning, intent, and feeling. God has ordained these texts as his praise, his conversation and instruction. And within the leaves of this work they are alive and molding. For those of you who are now in the throes of grief, I pray that you find this book soon. Immerse yourself in the daily office, let God speak to you as you draw near to him through the life-giving streams of spiritual devotion. I find powerful peace in them even today, as the pain surfaces again and brings to mind the questions of faith. If you have recently lost, this book is vital for you.

God bless you in your coming struggle, and may the communion of the saints bring you peace. Feel free to email me if you need someone to talk to. The Lord be with you.

Enhanced with a profusion of historical black-and-white photographs, Free & Public written by John Fleischman is an impressively visual and textual tribute to the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the Public Library of Cincinnati & Hamilton County. Images spanning the decades artfully combine with insightful quotations with a matter-of-fact history, resulting in showcasing the remarkable and informative saga of a much beloved and enduring literary institution -- the free public community library system of Cincinnati, Hamilton County, Ohio.

This woman's road trip novel takes the reader on an adventure from prison and 12 step madness to life on the lam. Part cookbook with such delicacies as "Betcha Can't Just Say No Pecan Hash Brownies" and " The Best Goddam Pumpkin Pie in the Known Universe" ; part tarot, part native spirituality - it's a ride on a Harley on a sunny afternoon. This book is not Proust. If you are looking for deep heavy literature this ain't the book for you.

I have always been impressed with any of the Matt Helm books by Donald Hamilton, and the Frighteners is no exception. Matt is back in another fast paced story, this time in Mexico where he meets up with his old friend, Solana-Ruiz for another intrique filled story. Matt Helm quickly routes the bad guys and wins the girls. As always, Donald Hamilton weaves an intricate tale and keeps the action fast. This is a great book! Once you have read a Donald Hamilton mystery, you will anxiously await his next book.

Having gone through a number of golf teaching methods over the years, I ran across Mark Evershed on the Golf Channel giving his ideas on how the golf swing really works. The next day I went to the range to hit balls and was IMMEDIATELY impressed with my results by trying just one thing he mentioned. I ordered "The Golf Soultion" the next day and reduced my handicap 10 shots over the next 60 days. Mark breaks the golf swing down into six areas. All independent of but building on each other. He reviews the concept of "muscle memory" of which he says "there is no such thing". Your brain tells you what to do with your hands and your body. It was hard to understand that "in order to make the ball go straight, you have to swing the club crooked". This statement, and learning how to keep my right wrist bent through the impact area and follow through were the key's for me. The book seems to present what most golf professionals are already doing but don't realize they are doing it. Once you experience the feeling of a correct swing, the game seems to be a little easier.

I loved this book. It demonstrated for me the real "art" of gardening. William Morris was a clever and far sighted man who advocated staying within the parameters of nature and natural beauty when making gardens. He also perpetuated the "garden room" theme which has been enormously popular since the eighteeth century. I refer to this book continuously and strive to design and construct garden rooms in my own garden which are as beautiful.

I had attended 6 AA meetings and still had many questions; How did AA begin? Is AA right for me? Are all meetings the same? What is a sponsor and how do I get one? What is the Big Book? and what do some of the slogans they use mean? Getting started in AA answered all of these questions and more. The book is designed in a way to allow readers to read it straight through or as a referance tool. It is divided into several parts so that you can easily skip around to the subjects that interest you the most. The content of the book is complete and written so that it can be read with ease. Although I skipped around a little, I read most of the book in one night. It answered all of my questions and gave me some guidence as to what to expect and what step to take next. I highly recomend this book to anyone who is new to AA or maybe has been in the program for a while, but still has questions about AA. This is also a good book for anyone who has never been to AA, but wants to stop drinking and is not sure if AA is right for them.

This text is a valuable reference for industrial chemicals.
