If you are looking for some relaxation and centering in your life, this is where to find it. Bernie has a soothing voice and guides you to a deep place within yourself. The music is just right. I have rarely failed to fall into a deep sleep when listening to this tape. Bernie feels like a good friend to me. His spirit comes through loud and clear and is always uplifting and hopeful.

Dr. Siegel has done such a superb job with this audio cassette. I use this audio cassette several times a week. Very impressive work done by Dr. Siegel.

This is a wonderful book for a number of reasons. First because the authors decided to live life on their terms and they succeeded. They followed their dream and it took them around the world. How many people do you know who have sailed around the globe in a 40 foot sailboat? Not many I'll bet.

The book is wonderful too because the authors managed to pack so many of their adventures into it. These range from being chased by pirates in the Philippines to sailing through impossible weather and fifty foot seas in the Atlantic, a storm that brought them to the edge of survival, to descriptions of tropical paradises that will blow your mind, to personal encounters with many many people in a wide variety of different lands and cultures.

Ed and Bernie spent long periods of time ashore also, exploring different places as they went. The book doubles as a travelogue of New Zealand, Africa, and other ports of call. The authors are keen observers of nature and the environment, and their discussions of pollution, over population, and the destruction of coral reefs are always interesting and on target. The book is loaded with great photos of their trip, that keep you page-turning.

In the end, the personal always shines through. The book is a valuable record of exploration of solitude and at-one-ness with nature. It will draw you back again and you will enjoy rereading ONE WAVE AT A TIME as much the second time as the first. The authors are self-described planners and adventurers -- and maybe the most valuable lesson of all is the discovery and rediscovery of self-reliance, what we can accomplish when we believe in ourselves and cut ourselves some slack. Don't miss it.

This cassette version, though abridged, contains all the best parts. The story of keeping the journal helped me realize its value. Memory is tricky...we need to really remember.

This book takes the reader to the inside trenches of what it takes to win a major advertising pitch, but keeps the story moving along very well by engrossing the reader in the dilemmas of the main character. The book is well-written and quite humorous at times. I couldn't put it down until I found out who won the pitch and the girl.

This is a lovely book which helped improve my "prayer life" and my faith. A good book to have during difficult times!

That one-line summary is what my 7-year-old son said about this book, in addition to "I love Ragtime Tumpie!" I agree with him. This is a beautiful and inspiring book about Josephine Baker, the great jazz entertainer/dancer. The illustrations are radiant and evoke a sense of excitement, heat, and music. The story is emotionally engaging, and like my son says, makes you want to dance and jubilate along with Tumpie! This is a top-notch picture book!

Jane Yolen has written a substantial number of picturebooks. She touches fantasy, the ghoulish, the comic, and also thecultural in her many titles. Some of her titles have struck me as too dark or gory for young children, and some have struck me as a little too political, but most of her work I have found quite enjoyable. Of all her books that I have read, however, Raising Yoder's Barn is the best.

It is an exploration of the Amish community way of life. The story is told from the point of view of a young boy, Yoder's son. He tells of a lightning strike that burns his family's barn to the ground, and the resulting "barn raising" that their Amish community holds to help the family recover from the loss. The text is beautiful, almost poetic, and Bernie Fuchs's paintings offer an emotional enhancement to the story. He uses slight blurring and an emphasis on light to make emotional statements with each one. It's lovely.

The story nicely conveys the religious faith of the Amish, with Yoder encouraging his family at the end of the barn raising to give thanks to God for His wonderful provision.

A poignant way to introduce children to the Amish lifestyle.

The material and subjects of human behavior revealed in this book are very powerful, real and poignant. To absorb more than a page or two at a time takes much courage and a willingness to understand ourselves as we truly are. After a little while you begin to understand, not only the courage and openness of heart of the Author, but how well she knows what shes trying to bring our attention to. Exceptionally written, a must read!
