The Mitford years books are a favorite. Not many books (and I read several a week) can make me laugh out loud. Jan Karon's books do. It's almost as good as a weeks vacation!

Review Date: 3/22/2010


A beautifully bound book, Dr. Coleman's fables is set on embellished gold parchment.

Humor, fantasy, science and medical experience form the background for nuggets of wisdom revealed through story.

Coleman's purpose for these nuggets of humor, diversity, truth, wisdom are revealed in his preface where he asks
what is science without a soul...

Recognizing that the body is more than a machine his truths are found in passion, commitment and caring through fables titled: A Fairy Tale: Almost, Review, Kansas, School Days, Prairie Dogs, Of What Interest Is This to You, I've Already Been Paid, Do You Have a Tissue?, That Little Voice, The Wars, Across the Haze of Time, She Got What She Deserved, Wisdom and A Life Well Spent.

This would be a great gift for a chiropractor or person with a scientific mind and a sense of humor.

I had to throw the book away. I'd read a story by Lee Tobin McClain and ordered a few more of her stories.

Unfortunately the first half of the book (Miller's story) was smut/erotica so I ripped the book in half, threw out that half and read Tobin McClain's story which was excellent.

I cannot recommend the book, but I do heartily recommend Lee Tobin McClain's work.


From Italy With Love: Motivated by Letters, Four Women Travel to Italian Cities and Find Love
Review Date: 2/1/2019


This is a read-again keep it on the shelf book.

Every story is based on a personal letter that draws them to Italy. I personally enjoy stories that make you feel you have journeyed with the characters, and thus, learned new things along with them.

Not all life lessons are things you want to repeat but growth is a fulfilling journey.

Highly recommend

Another fun follow up in the town of Smitten. I enjoy it when characters have substance and have experiences I can relate to and learn from. Each has a gentle guiding force of God's presence, and most have some lighthearted chuckles

Timely, thoughtful, brief devotionals tailored especially for the single guy or gal from one who knows.

Each devotion ends with optional questions for those who want to ponder the subject further with the next level of study from God's Word.

A classic for Singles

If you've read one Sisterchick book, you look forward eagerly to another. They are like a boxx of chocolates! As usual, a fun contemporary read, you can relate to while getting inspired.

The sisterchick in this story isn't found/met until the main character follows her husband across the world on a once-in-a-lifetime temporary job. It's a great reminder that we won't get the reward until we step out of our comfort zone and go after it.

I wish there were a dozen more sisterchick books to read. The second best idea was to grab my own sisterchick and go make our own stories!

Happy reading.

As always, Mindel's stories are rich with page turning situations, and subtle life lessons. Her characters are realistic and I'm always satisfied and uplifted when I finish one of her books.

This was no exception. I highly recommend all of her books.

Excellent, thought provoking, heart-stirring devotionals. Amazing what can be taught and made ponderable in the space of a few minutes.

If you are a busy businessperson this is the book for you.
