The How-To Book of the Mass: Everything You Need to Know but No One Ever Taught You


I am a cradle Catholic and found this book to be very helpful at explaining the Catholic Mass. I no longer ask "Why do we do that?"

I read this book cover to cover and enjoyed it very much. It is easy to read and is organized thoughtfully inline with each step of the Mass.

This book takes you step by step through the Catholic Mass. Along the way, it suggests ways to help you maintain focus while praying. It gives very good insight about the different aspects of the Mass.

FYI, I enjoyed this book so much, I purchased the other three "How to" books - on Catholic Devotions..., read the Bible..., and the Sacramentals...

If you are new to the Catholic faith or are considering a return, consider my humble opinion about this book and the others.

I found all of these books very resourceful, useful, and interesting.

Each book is a gem. They will help you understand and guide you with your Catholic faith. Buy The How-To Book of the Mass: Everything You Need to Know but No One Ever Taught You!

The Book of Air and Shadows: A Novel


Well, I have to agree with the other less "stary" review. I didn't care for Jake either. I felt the language was course, even ugly when it came from Jake. I liked the other characters better, particularly his brother.

I felt the story bounced around too much. Like the sequel to a great movie, instead of going for a great script, they opt for the 10 car chases with explosion after explosion. I figured out the plot long before I should have been able. All in all, it was readable but I wouldn't pass it on to anyone else. Buy The Book of Air and Shadows: A Novel!

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (Book 2)


All of the Harry Potter books are very well written. The characters are well developed and the plot is interesting. What that means to a reader is: you want to know more about the people in the story. They become friends (or enemies) that you want to know all about. You can't wait to get to the next installment. J.K. Rowling has the knack for creating that kind of feeling.

This book is the second in the series. It takes Harry through his second year at Hogwarts. It has interesting new characters, and new spells, and new information about the "Wizarding World", as it's called. But more than that it gives us a glimpse into the lives of our beloved stars of the first book. Draws us into their lives even further, with the result that we want to know more.

In general, these are classed as Children's Books, but in fact they are people books. Most Children's Books are a little on the shallow side. These are very deep books with deep insites into the thoughts and personalities of the main characters. It is true that the main characters are children, but they are treated as real people in the books.

Very well done!

The Social Skills Picture Book Teaching play, emotion, and communication to children with autism


My son is 7, high functioning autism. I borrowed this book at a meeting for parents with autistic children.
My son is only 7 and while eating dinner, read this book cover to cover and GOT IT. He now sees things and says "mommy, that is the wrong way"

He completely GOT IT.
I had to return the book but my son asks for it. So I am on amazon now, planning to place my order.

The Jungle Book (Unabridged Classics)


I bought this book to read with my 9 year-old son. We have the Disney books and movies at home but since he is an avid reader and I love Rudyard Kipling I thought it was time to find him the real deal and this book is it. I like everything about it, the font type, the illustrations, and the writing is, well... Rudyard Kipling. Beautiful, rich, provocative language that unleashes a child's imagination. My son and I devoured it in a few nights and after we were done it led to a really deep discussion on the differences with the Disney's version. It was a welcomed reminder that we can understimate both our children's capacity to digest the classics and their appeal to them.Buy The Jungle Book (Unabridged Classics)!

The Emotional Intelligence Quick Book


If you had to select the person you think is "most likely to succeed," how would you go about making your choice? According to authors Travis Bradberry and Jean Greaves, you'd miss the mark if you based your choice on educational achievement, intelligence or experience. The main criteria, instead, is a set of social skills known as "emotional intelligence (EQ)" that helps people interact effectively. When you're emotionally intelligent, your emotions work for - not against - you, and you are respectful and mindful of other peoples' feelings. Even the most emotionally challenged people can boost their EQs by practicing the skills this book outlines. It offers specific examples of how to bring emotional intelligence to bear in a variety of situations at home and at work. getAbstract recommends this book to those who want to use emotional intelligence effectively.

10 Books That Screwed Up the World: And 5 Others That Didn't Help


First the 'almost' part. I may be wrong here, but I humbly think that the author was to harsh on Descartes. I am not a big fan of this French philosopher, and I agree that Descartes' method was far from flawless. I think Hume would deserve the place instead of Descartes, because it is precisely he who allegedly divorced West from miraculous. Descartes at least acknowledged substance dualism, which is comforting.
Furthermore, since my roots are Ukrainian, the article cited about Ukrainian women selling fetuses to make rich women prettier is very saddening. I simply wanted to say that there are different people in all societies, and if you consider the amount of light a culture has, plus the economic condition of a country, it is not surprising, but sad. On the other hand, if you consider the number of seminaries in US, the number of available resources, the accessibility of those resources, and the economic condition of a country, Anglo-American culture does not forces me to rejoice either. Other saddening fact, is the enormous number of humans being trafficked [thousands and thousands every year] from the eastern Europe to the west... [not vice versa] as a sex slaves. This is the world we live in...

Anyways, I personally like this book a lot. Here you will see the true face of the 'great books', the historical connection between the ideas, and of course the applied part of ethics and philosophy. The person who distinguishes philosophy from practice is either naive, or brainwashed. Ideas have always led actions. And bad ideas, led to bad action. This book very cleverly exposes the danger of some very influential books born out of 'enlightenment'. These books, and more precisely their ideas, are like intellectual viruses that will ruin everything they come in contact with. Wiker provided very much needed antidote nowadays. Especially when 'new' atheists want to trick you to accept their silly lie that atheism is better, and more peaceful (?! say what?) than Christianity, books like this will wake you up to the cold reality of how science has and is manipulated and played as a particular ideology wants (i.e. Darwinism). Furthermore, it is applied part of those ideas, historically tested - not simply hypothetically, that leads to to think - 'How in right mind people could slip those rotten ideas in their minds, and popularized them under the disguise of science".
Specifically, I liked Wiker's take on:
(1.) Margaret Mead's "Coming of Age in Samoa"
(2.) Alfred Kinsey's "Sexual Behavior in the Human Male"
(3.) Hobbes' "Leviathan"
(4.) Sigmund Freud's "The Future of an Illusion"
(5.) Margaret Sanger's "The Pivot of Civilization"
(6.) Jean, Jacques Rousseau's "A Discourse Upon The Origin And The Foundation Of The Inequality Among Mankind"
(7.) Charles Darwin's "The Descent of Man"

I liked those the most, because of following:
(a.) In light of today's sexual mess, sickening practices, and overall decline of overall human morality, it is hard to pinpoint texts that led to it.
(b.) Nietzsche, Marx, and Machiavelli are clearly dangerous and most people know about them. Not many knows about perverts like Kinsey, and 'scientists' like Mead or Sanger.
(c.) You may read more about dangers of Darwin, Marx, Lenin, Machiavelli by other authors. Not many take on those mentioned in this book.

I can only hope that there will be more books like this.
This is the second book I read [actually I listened to this one on CD while driving] by Benjamin Wiker, and I plan to read more. The other one was also good check it out if you liked this one - Answering the New Atheism: Dismantling Dawkins' Case Against God

P.S. One reviewer noted that Kinsey contributed little. But, with all respect, I have to disagree. Check for instance DVD The Kinsey Syndrome for more information. From the perverts and immortals like Kinsey today we have some wild thing going on in regard to human sexuality. Those perverts helped to dress their sick ideas as 'science', and it wasn't the end of it. As a result pedophiles for instance do not spent long in jails, which is weird (isn't it?). Many laws and ideas are influenced by that sick man. Please watch video mentioned above. You can also check out book by Judith A.

Grave Peril (The Dresden Files, Book 3)


After two good-but-not-great urban fantasies, the Dresden Files suddenly rockets into the "great" category with its third. "Grave Peril" sees Jim Butcher radically change his now-bestselling series into a far more complex and tragic affair, as well as introducing a slew of likable new characters and a long-ranging arc that promises to be very nasty for our wizardly hero.

Harry and Knight of the Cross Michael Carpenter (a sort of knight working directly for God and the angels, with a sacred sword) are working hard to exorcise a sudden surge of violent ghosts -- even taking a trip into the Nevernever, where an old enemy is waiting for Harry. They're being stirred up by a particularly evil spirit called the Nightmare, who is targeting people near Harry. Oh yeah, and he's been "invited" to a vampire ball and his amoral fairy godmother (no, really) wants an old debt repaid.

But the situation becomes far more grim when Harry discovers that it's not just one enemy but many that are conspiring against him -- evil ghosts, malevolent vampires, and the Leanansidhe. Cornered on every side and with a bunch of innocent people threatened (including Michael's newborn son), Harry is faced with a terrible choice that has no good outcomes. And he might lose the person he loves best in the process...

"Grave Peril" is the point when the entire Dresden Files series blossoms like a black rose. The relatively simple storylines of the first two books abruptly give way to a complex tangle of intertwined enemies, conspiracies and magical creatures (ranging from fae to vampires). And rather than a standalone mystery/fantasy, this book is the start of a massive arc that promises to span the entire Dresden Files series.

Butcher's writing has matured as well, becoming a more polished brand of hard-boiled fantasy noir with some nasty stark details (such as barbed wire on the soul. Lots of snappy dialogue ("Vampires on a diet?" "Yeah. Make hers a Blood Lite"), sudden plot twists and detailed explorations of a nighttime world. But no matter how dark and bleak the book becomes, Butcher still manages some funny quirky moments (such as Harry attending a vampire ball in a cheap vampire costume).

And having also introduced multiple kinds of werewolf, Butcher does the same for other supernaturals here. There's the undead Black Court vampires, the alluring incubi of the White Court, and one of the more powerful and frightening Fae.

And poor Harry has a pretty rough time in this novel: chased by a sociopathic faery and a vengeful ghost, vampires intent on taking him out, locked in a dungeon with a crazy woman, and he suffers a terrible loss that upturns his entire life. Even worse, the poor guy is obviously going to feel pretty guilty about what happens to people close to him.

Butcher also introduces a bunch of new characters -- the pious and righteous Knight Michael, who seems to be one of the few people to gain Harry's deep respect; the lovable and sexy White Court vampire Thomas Raith; and the kindly old Catholic priest Father Forthill ("I've never had anyone ask me to bless a five-gallon drum into holy water before, Mr. Dresden"). Not to mention Lea, who promises to cause more trouble in future.

"Grave Peril" is the point when Jim Butcher's considerable talents began to fully bloom, in an urban fantasy full of grimy horror, tragedy and wit. Definitely a must-read.Buy Grave Peril (The Dresden Files, Book 3)!

Book of a Thousand Days


Dashti is a mucker maid whose father died, then her brothers ran off, then her mother died. She has been taught the healing songs of her people by her mother, and their calming words help her through her journey to the city to look for work. She is taught to read, write and obey her mistresses every command. When she meets her new mistress, Lady Saren, she wonders at the Lady's wild and crazed ramblings, but she agrees to never leave her. Little does she know, Lady Saren has displeased her father by refusing to marry the man he has chosen for her. She literally trembles with fear when he is around. Her father has decided that her disobedience warrants being locked up. In a tower. For seven years.

That is a long time for anyone, but Dashti has agreed to never abandon her mistress. If it weren't for Dashti, I firmly believe that Lady Saren would have wasted away. You would think that nothing exciting would happen in a tower with no sunlight, but you'd be wrong. Their adventures with rats, cats, men who want to get in to harm them, one who wants the Lady for love, and Dashti's wanting to get out provide a reading you can hardly believe.

Lady Saren commands Dashti to do things she doesn't want to do, and it could end extremely badly for her if she doesn't figure a way out, but Saren is not capable of doing many things, and Dashti knows this, so she follows her orders, but by reading her journal we see her inner struggle throughout the book. In the end, it's her journal that saves her after she has already saved countless others.

Do they actually spend seven years in the tower, or does Dashti figure a way out? Well, the second half of the book is what happens when they get out of the tower. I admit, I should have seen some of the destruction coming, but even so, it makes for fascinating reading.

I have to say that Lady Saren drove me absolutely crazy for the majority of the book. I had to keep reminding myself that she wasn't raised to be able to do anything for herself, and by the end of the book I came to understand a lot more about her past that put her present actions into perspective. I ended up liking her a lot more, but Dashti steals the show in this book!

Book of the Dead (Kay Scarpetta)


To begin with, I have kept up with all the Kay Scarpetta books, having been intrigued with her from the beginning. After about the fifth book, I began to tire of the complicated and unsatisfying relationships she fosters, and to wonder how a character like this could maintain my interest. She couldn't. I kept reading, just because I feel like a know her a little bit, even though I began to hate her for being such a tiresome "Eeyore." Nothing ever seemed to bring her happiness or joy. She never laughed or chuckled, teased or flirted. Way too serious. I like Marino the best, the big, fat, coarse, boor that he is. He, at least, has some personality and passion. I've known people like Kay Scarpetta, and you can't be friends with them. They take themselves too seriously. They're the kind that stand to the side with their arms tucked around their midsections, protecting their guts, with a slight frown at the corners of their mouths.

Lover Avenged (Black Dagger Brotherhood, Book 7)


Disappointed also. I loved, loved, LOVED the first three books. But other than a part 1 of the romance of xhex and john mathew that will be continued in her next book this book did not have much romance or character building as related to the romance. I will buy her next book (paperback not hardback) to see how xhex and john mathew get together when he rescues her (very like the rescue of z and bella situation). I wish we could have seen some building of any relationship between poor ole Rehv. He had some backbone and menace to his character in the previous book. None of that is here. Here he is poor ole puppy that was a bad boy and does not deserve the girl. The girl also believes this and waits a "whole" month to decide the guy is worth saving and enlists his friends and family to help. Just way to unbelievable they would sit on their hands a month even for reasons writer gives them. What, no DNA on the skeleton in the fire? If that was my brother... Also if he's taking anti-venom of scorpion faithfully to avoid a reaction of scorpions with a one night stand once a month with his half sister then what the heck is he still alive after a month of constant stings without the anti-venom. Hey maybe he did not need anti-venom. What? It just does not make sense and some stuff like that is what makes me want to re-read her good books to forget all about this one. Buy Lover Avenged (Black Dagger Brotherhood, Book 7)!
