This book gave me much to think about how I relate to my adult sisters. The stories of the siblings told by the siblings are well-written by Susan Scarf Merrell. I look forward to her next book.

This book will change your life because once you understand and practise the power of giving praise to yourself as well as to others, you will learn to be bold. It is written in a clear but lively style. There are no big buzz words, no hype, no jargon. Praise is not flattery. Praise is simple, direct, specific and sincere. Praise is the catalyst that will give you wings. This book will inspire you to solve conflict, create relationships, strengthen work practices by using praise. By reading this book you will feel bold enough to take that leap, risk that change or just be content to be the person you already are. Give yourself a treat. Buy this book. And then buy others to give to those people you love.

And Amy Tan certainly knows what she is talking about!
From the back cover I thought it would be romantic and wishy washy, but it is a book of real quality.

After all of that British historical stuff, it's amazing how well Susan Carroll captures America of the 1990s. Her dialogue, locale, knowledge of the period, and characters are very convincing. You'd think she actually lived in Rock Island, Illinois.

Seriously, though, regardless that this reviewer has definite preference to historical romance, Carroll's work generally excels, and LOVE POWER lived up to expectations.

Him: a fantastic-looking, well-muscled babe, early 30s, who owns a local gym and loves Gilbert and Sullivan. Her: a 27-year-old professional woman who lives for her engineering career and lost track of all the finer things in life. Liana Malone goes to a company charity ball and wins a raffle where the grand prize is a month course with a personal trainer, Jake Powers. Liana initially wants to refuse the prize (she thought it would be a microwave oven), but after being caught in a snow storm with Jake, she feels she has no other choice but to go through with it when he subsequently "double-dog dares" her.

The plotline sizzles with sexual tension from Liana and Jake's first meeting. As always, Carroll masters at putting her viewpoint characters in the hot seat and keeps the reader wondering what's going to happen next. The story progresses smoothly as one scene leads to the next without feeling contrived.

This 1994 novel has few supporting characters, who sometimes do little except clutter a story. Her male characters are just as well drawn as her female. Jake has his own insecurities. Perhaps one of their best exchanges comes early in the story when he's leaning over the exposed engine of his stalled van. When she asks what's wrong, she tells him that being a woman doesn't mean she knows nothing about cars. "Just because I'm a man you don't have to assume I do," Jake replies.

It's fun following Liana and Jake as they try to resist their mutual attraction. Most of the growth is in Liana, who learns what an empty existence her life has been. Jake overcomes some of his own shortcomings when he believes Liana really does love him.

This story is reminiscent of Carroll's earlier Regency romances in that it has a fun-spirited light touch. However, LOVE POWER does rate as the corniest title ever used for any of her novels.

The title of this book should be "Way Beyond Negotiating" because it truly is a one-stop resource for guidance along the way to securing potential clients. Every consultant needs this book to learn how to gracefully negotiate, successfully manage client relationships and appropriately set service fees. "How do I price my services?" is a question I constantly get from fellow consultants, and Susan's book clearly outlines an easy formula to answer this question. This feature alone makes the book worth purchasing; then, as a bonus,the additional chapters are chock full of crucial information necessary to successfully close the deal. I have recommended this book to others, and expect once you read it, you will too!

Dr. Goodman's complete and thorough review of essential fatty acids is a must have for any holistic practitioners library. He evaluates the research in a clear, concise manner laying out the truth about the effectiveness of fatty acids. His clinical anecdotes are helpful for understanding how EFA's can be helpful in practice or as a layperson. Dr. Goodman describes how EFA's are useful for conditions that many people may not even know about. I was impressed with this book and I highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in using natural medicine to promote better health and prevent disease.

What a great book to sit down with on a quiet day! Beautiful color pages document the art of man and how changes in history have changed what we call "art." After reading this, you will feel comfortable going to the art gallery and talking to others about various artists like Raphael, Picasso, Monet, Jasper Jones, etc. Great beginner book for those interested in the arts.

It is easy to see why this book made Fr. Conrad famous when he first wrote it. For all the English-speaking lovers of St. Therese who have seen the footnote "Dynamique de la confiance," it is here in English at last. Traces the development of Therese's way with delicacy, detail, and unflinching attention to chronology; yields a harvest worthy of the care with which it was gathered.
