This personal story of a wounded missionary kid is a story so familiar for many missionary kids. Mr. Peters did well in balancing the "taboo" of revealing MK (missionary kid) struggles and respecting his father's faith and committment to missions. If you're a missionary kid I encourage you to read this powerful book, and even more importantly, if you are a parent of a child raised on the mission field.

I was fortunate enough to have Dr. Peters for a class in college. I, too, had been to Siagon in the years he was there. I, however, was older and had gone because of service to our country. I found this a very compelling read as well as some what tragic. Even though Dr. Peters wrote fondly of his father, I found it tragic that this man would put his wife and child in such harms way. I asked Dr. Peters if his father ever understood how profoundly that experience effected him. He quietly answered, never. I also discovered that he had passed away before Dr. Peters could tell him how it changed his life. At fourteen he was to experience the same shock that many in the military did, only with no one noticing. This is an excellent read and may explain better than any other book I have read how many of us returned from that war emotionally shattered.

I thought Tigers would be great to use for a presentation as a lesson in an English language development (ESL) class. And it also would be a good interdisciplinary assignment--write it in English class and illustrate it in Art class. It would also be a good writing-across-the-curriculum activity for the art class. I showed it to my high school class today and we had a great discussion about proverbs and sayings in various cultures. A Punjabi girl who recently enrolled in my class shared one with us and it was the first time she had spoken up in class so I was pleased. It is interesting to see how many of the same ideas transcend language and culture and this beautiful book opens the door to have that conversation. Susan Davis, English teacher, Modesto, CA

I read it during my lunch time, enjoying it thoroughly. Not only is it a work of art, but a work of wisdom as well. A key to the proverbs at the back of the book was helpful in articulating these Korean pearls of wisdom.

I think my favorite on "character" is "It is dark at the base of the lamp." On "cooperation," I especially liked, "An empty push cart makes more noise." On "eating," I loved," Licking the outside of the watermelon." These proverbs help me see and understand human frailty, while suggesting something greater to strive for. They are whimsical, correcting me gently for my oversights. A great book for anyone under the age of 112.

I like a car that turns into a dinosaur and a flying chicken and some other very cool things as the Popsnorkles' new car does. I've read this book to preschoolers for more than a decade, and they adored it. Check it out.

Remember when you used to wonder what all those buttons did in your parents' car? The choke on our old station wagon would make wings pop out, my dad said. Ha! It was no match for the Tooth-Gnasher Superflash. That car does it all! Wow. Zoom. Cool. Read it again, Daddy. Of course.

i thought this was a great book i already have found my one buddy (not a towwn)

This book explains how to get a weight lose community started. It is very motivational! I was able to get started in the program immediately and have already started making better choices based on material in book. If you are trying to lose weight, this book can really help!

Thanks to Dan and Cheryl De Worken I have found a training log that has everything i need to track food consumption, water intake, and all my work-outs all lined out for me. I can track my weight loss, fat loss, and see how much muscle i've gained. There is nothing even close anywhere that can help you accomplish your goals. Plus they have a toll free # you can contact and get help, advise, etc. Thanks

Amazing does not fully describe this outstanding training workbook. It is all completely laid out for you; food inventories, cardio record, resistance training and routines. The Transformation Toolbox breaks up the routines for you for optimum results, chest & tri, back & bi, legs & shoulders, body mass, and abs and calves. This wonderful guide helped me to commit to myself. It is perfectly laid out for a 12-week program, with a page for everyday. I find that this is extremely helpful when doing the food inventory. I am able to look back and see if I was taking in enough protein and water, or perhaps taking in too much fat. This program really works! It has helped me stay organized and committed to my fitness goals.

just one personal comment: merely reading the definitions of "split life-goals" and "dark night of the soul" by Wilber saved me several months (years?) of struggling - the book provides a novel structure of psychopathology and if you have a structure you have something to hold onto. very therapeutic book for (post)existential-level strugglers!

i really like the brief and concrete style of the older books by Wilber (Atman Project is my favourite!), although, according to Wilber himself, they contain slightly outdated ideas. don't start with it, but don't forget it!

Where have the thoughts in this book been for so long??? Transformations of Consciousness thinks critically about issue's in psychology and spirituality that are so important and would seem so obvious, I wonder how they've managed to escape us all so completely. Primarily, this text brings attention and profoundly questions the motives of the psychological as well as contemplative schools in such a fundamental way as to expose unaddressed pervasive issues that ignorence of which can constitute avoidable casualties to mental and spiritual health. Emphasis is placed on recognition of developmental/phase specific aspects of what constitute appropriate therapeutic and spiritual practices. Specifically,when is meditation harmful as opposed to benificial. What are any of the obstacles in selectively transplanting eastern contemplative practices into the western cultural context? What can both eastern and western traditions contribute to and learn from each other? Wilber, Engler and Brown both impressed and stimulated me with the extraordinary depth and far reaching implications of their considerations. Now, I know why my experience in an eastern influenced spiritual community was bound to end in disillusionment and what has unconsciously motivated so much of my frustrating seeking! What better gift could you ask for?? If therapy has been repeatedly ineffectual, costly and disappointing, or if despite your interest in spirituality you've felt something was missing that you have had difficulty articulating; This book will articulate it. What a glorious Gift!! This book is my BIBLE now!

Here come Kim and her pal Pete this book is a reading treat. I have read this book to my children countless times. They know it verse by verse, we love looking at all the famous people on the last page throwing out their trash, including the author and Corkscrew from Skate Board Monsters. I even entertained college students with this hip hop adventure.

As much as I disliked this book at first, I must admit that my 2 year old son absolutely loves it! For the reader, it is a bit difficult at first- but after the first "read it again, Mommy" I think that anyone will find this to be a great one for the kids (and you may just find yourself enjoying it, too!)

This is a small book, great to take out and review a month before turkey season. Lots of helpful info to keep in mind. Mr. Dia Paul has done a good job putting his years of experience into a form from which new hunters can learn. It doesn't guarantee a turkey, but it sure improves your chances!

After reading this book, i have a better understanding of what to wear,look for,and I never knew how well thier eyes where. I wont go into to much detail about the book, I don't want to ruin it for everyone else. I think this author, and his book is 2 thumbs up. I would reccamend it to every hunter

I found this book quite mind involving and creative. It kept me thinking, and on the edge of my seat. Quite an exquisite literary work. You must read! If you like stories set in the future, you will love this book. It is christian based and full of action. A must read for the younger and older generation.

This is a remarkable book. It is set just far enough into the future to help us speculate on what the state of technology will be. One of the main things I like about the book, which is something of a spiritual "whodunit", is that the action is realistic. It is not some conglomeration of unlikely adventures with superhero comic strip characters.
Thankfully, the reader does not have to hold a filter in front of his or her heart, ears, eyes and brain to keep trash from entering. You will not find offensive cursing, vulgarity, or blasphemy within its pages.
Look for something edifying rather than destructive; not just a newspaper-like style of writing, but something challenging. The poetry, dream scenes, futurism and the fact the book takes place in real places and is inhabited by realistic characters makes it a few cuts above whatever else is out there. If you are used to going to book stores and browsing by the hour for something exciting, entertaining, nailbiting, and really hard to put down, I recommend Two Tin Lizzies. At least five stars! ...

Admiral Daniel V. Gallery gives the common man an interesting insight into what trials and tribulations the U.S. Navy and Coast Guard fought through while trying to hold back German submarines in WWII. Gallery masterfully uses submarine logs and diaries from the German commanders and sailors to make a complete picture of the war in the Atlantic come alive as few people are able to do. Based on a true story of the only submarine ever captured in war, this is a good reader for adolescents or for those interested in a beginning study of the Naval confrontations in the Atlantic during WWII. It is a fairly easy read and only a couple hundred pages. I think it is a classic for history.

The author of this book is a retired Navy Admeral. The book U-505 details the authors record of the capture of the German U-Boat 505 during WW II. This is a historical type book as the author was in command of the task group that captured the only warship during WWII. A must read.
