This short book contains so many tidbits of treasure. One of my favorites is asking a client who cries what his tears would say if they could speak. I think this book offers something of value whether you are a beginning therapist or a seasoned professional. Irvin ...

The Classic Outlaw
All I can say is that if you've read this book, you know how amazing it is... it is a classic after all! If you have not read this, go out buy it, read it, and find someone else who has not read it. It almost seems to be a book that created an underground cult. I LOVE ...

Home: A Novel
Marilynne Robinson
Farrar, Straus and Giroux
, 2008
painfully beautiful
"Home" is much different than "Gilead" because the grace is not so apparent in the pain of desired forgiveness of the three main characters. However, it is just as lovely only in a more hidden sense. Deeply theological as Jack, Glory, and their father struggle to ...

To be fair...you probably should buy this...but...
To be fair, I have not read this book. Why 5 stars? The book is a for-profit venture by the author, so recovery of time, effort, & energy is important for revenue reasons. So why write this review? After spending nearly 12-18 hours perusing AMAZON's book list on solar ...
