A touching journey toward understanding
Author Deborah Morris Coryell, who has worked in the health field for more than 25 years and has written numerous books on wellness, now takes pen to paper in order to shed light on the process of healing from grief and loss. She observes that "We only grieve for that which we have loved and, the nature of life being transitory, love and loss are intimately connected," among many other hidden truths about the essence of grief. Eloquent and poignant, Good Grief: Healing Through The Shadow Of Loss is a touching journey toward understanding the regret that makes us human.

THE BEST GRIEF BOOK YET!
Having lost my only child four years ago, I have read many books on grief. This one is by far the best! I found myself highlighting most of the pages and have just bought a second copy!

My advise: Buy This One!

Quenches the Sorrowful Soul
This book was remarkable in that, even just holding it and looking at the simple cover offered me some peace in a time of shear agony. Obviously, a lot of love went into it. The words are simple and beautiful AND offer great depth. So much soulful contemplation and growth can be derived from reading this book while grieving. The entire energy of the book is in concert with the healing process. I've recommended this book to many friends who have lost someone close to them and will many times again, God willing.

Enjoyed by wide range of readers in classroom.
You know how sometimes you want to read a book, but you don't have a lot of time, and you don't want to start something you can't finish? Well, the answer is here. Real Kids, Real Adventures is exactly what it says. It's an action packed series of short stories, three to a book, which are sure to attract young readers. I read two of the books in the series, and found all the stories to be really good. I also asked several of my own students to read them, and found that they were enjoyed by a wide range of readers. Students who normally have difficulty keeping on task with regular novels, were able to complete a story with little difficulty, something we both appreciated. I also found that these stories were just the right item for those days when you'd like to read something to your class, but you want to fit it into a reasonable time space.

A little disappointing
I read the book and tried to follow the reasoning in my personal life. For instance, when trying to decide between two Ralph Lauren polo shirts - one a celedon green and one a melon - I stopped to consider what Jesus would do, and then bought the melon-colored shirt. But when I got home and put it on I looked SO washed out. Jesus had a swarthy Mediterranean complexion which was complemented by shades in the orange family. I, however, am of Norse descent and the melon looked horrible on me.

Even though it doesn't really cover it in the book, I'm convinced that you have to think, WWJWFM? or "What Would Jesus Want For Me." But I guess that's too much for a bracelet or a bumpersticker.

Thanks, anyway.

In His Steps, boy was I in for a suprize...
To tell you the truth when I found out I had to read this for school, I thought it would (...)... But I read it and here's what I think...(You can hear my opinion, but read this book yourself as well, trust me and be open-minded!!!)

So it goes, a pastor of a church Henry Maxwell is interupted in finishing writing his sermon for Sunday morning tomorrow when the doorbell rings and he has to answer it because his wife is out. Well when he opens the door there is what a appears to be a tramp(A dirty shabby man), asking for work. But Henry is kind and tells him he knows of none. The man leaves and Henry get's back to work. Henry was proud of his sermon, until the next morning at church, after the sermon is over the man(supposed tramp)burst into the church and runs up to the front of the church where the pastor is. He tells them he is no tramp nor drunk. But he is searching for work and everyone has been rude to him and that they could not be real questions, and he really questions them what it is to follow in Jesus steps. Then the man passes out

So starts the amazing revelation of the First Church of Raymond, Henry is so moved by the question, which questions his own discipleship that he asked anyone who is willing to meet him in a room after the service if they are willing to take a pledge to ask the question "What Would Jesus Do?" no matter what the consequences of anything including: Social and financial loss... What good is money and social status after you are dead anyways? around 50 ppl in the first week promise to take the pledge. Which changes the course of life not only in Raymond, but in many other cities to come as well.

It is a little slow the first few pages, but quickly speeds up. The author develops the story through the development of the characters, and is a very nice change from the normal novels most of us read. Plus it has all the ingredients of most novels and so much more. It has murder,deception,and greed, but also contains Godly principals which build the book.

I was not let down, but was amazed at how good the book was, since I expected it to (...)!!! So come in with low expectations and an open-mind and you are sure to enjoy this book and be truely inspired. It is especially for Christains and non-Christains as well. (...)

Doing it God's Way
I really enjoy reading in His Steps and What Would Jesus Do? It was interesting to know what people in the past had to do to follow the teaching of Jesus. It is also interesting to see how the people of this era have to say and do to follow Jesus. I think it is harder today than in the past because we have more to tempt us and more outwordly things to distract us from the purpose that Jesus set for us. I think everyone should read this book. I feel it would do a lot of people a lot of good. I know it did for me.

A Great book that you have to read
this is one of the best books i ever read! what an action packed, thrilling sequal to all of the others. if you want to read a great book you have to gey one from keith douglas!

I think its one of the best books Ive ever read
I think it described the guns great and the detail in the book is awesome. I learned alot about NAVY SEALS from this book and did research on it and everything in there is true. The combat scenes were better than in any war book Ive read.

One of the Best
The Seals are back in action in China. A Seal mission is never simple and this book accurately explains the missions of Seald, what they do, and the risks they take. Explosive and a delight to read one of Mr. Douglass's best. One of the best special warfare books ever written.

The I can"t believe this has no sugar"
I did not like this book too much because the sugar substitute that she uses sometimes, like rice syrup is very difficult to find. I do not recomend this book.

ingredients difficult to find
I like that the recipes are sugar-free and also avoid artificail sweeteners. The muffins I made were great, but I can't find Minute Maid pineapple juice concentrate or unsweetened grape juice concentrate. These are ingredients in many of the recipes.

So far, this book has been great!!
I've tried three of the recipes so far. All have been received with much enthusiasm by my daughter, who must limit her intake of refined sugar. The ones I've really enjoyed so far have been the Apple pie and the Brownies. My daughter enjoyed the brownies so much that she wanted them made as a bithday cake. If the rest of the recipes in the book are this good, I would highly recommend this book.

Great contemporary novel based on the classic, In His Steps
This is a very touching book which gets you thinking and challenges you to walk in faith. I have never read In His Steps, but I liked this book, which I think is very similar except it is a contemporary version. In the novel, a pastor of a church challenges his congregation with the ulitmate question-- What Would Jesus Do? He challenges them to ask themselves this question before making any decision. This challenge also affects us as the reader because it also challenges us. It is a good challenge, to think of what Jesus would do before making any decision, and I think it is a challenge we all should take.

Not the historic presentation of ethics
The current "WWJD" (What Would Jesus Do") phenomenon is not the Biblical understanding of how we are to determine right and wrong. While this book did not start that pop phenomenon, some may read this mistakenly. What Jesus would do would be different that you or I because He was fully man AND fully God, second Person of the Trinity. He was sinless, and although tempted in every way as we are, He did not sin. His purpose was to fulfill the Law in order to be the spotless sacrificial lamb of God, the atonement and substitute for our sins. He was the omniscient God incarnate, so He knew what was in each heart and what was the perfectly appropriate thing to say and do in each situation in order to accomplish His mission. In that sense, what He would do in a situation as God is a hypothetical we cannot know as finite creatures. What He might have done is a speculation. We are, however, TOLD in Scripture what we are to do, how as Christians we are to act and live.

Read the Classic
I'd recommend reading Charles Sheldon's "In His Steps" before reading this. Then you decide who is the better writer and has a real handle on the concept.

A Life Altering Look at Ourselves!
I read this book with alot of hesitancy, being that it was loaned to me from one of our deacons, but I read it and once I got started, I couldn't stop! This book changed my outlook on life and how I should treat others. I loved this book and it's message so much that I bought 8 of them and gave them out to my co-workers. It has truely been an eye opener! Every Christian should read this book! If you didn't fully understand Jesus before, you will once you read this book.
