Welcome to my bookstore. First of all let me say a big THANKS to Amazon for giving me the chance to recommend books and allowing you to purchase books directly through my page. All the information regarding ordering is below. I might add that I have ordered frequently from Amazon. I always seem to find just what I am looking for, no matter how obscure the selection is, with prompt shipment.
Just click on the image of the book you are interested in ordering to go to Amazon and complete your transaction! I have tried to choose a diverse group of books ranging from self-help, true-life adventure, science-fiction/fantasy, etc.
The first book I would like to recommend is a very special one called Simple Abundance written by Sarah Ban Breathnacht. It has been featured by Ophrah Winfrey on her TV show, and I feel it has changed my life! I started with the Simple Abundance plan in January, 1997. There is a page to read for each day of the year and the book is filled with ways to improve your life, your outlook and your thinking. When you start reading this book, you are required to keep a Gratitude Journal. Each day you write 5 things you are grateful for in this journal, and it is amazing how this simple act can immediately cause a small change in your everyday life. Instead of focusing on the negative as many of us do, this journal causes you to focus on the postive elements of the day. It has brought about a wonderful change in the way I view the world and I think it could have the same effect on you
Into Thin Air tells the tragic story of the May 1996 Mt. Everest ascent of several teams of climbers, which ended in the death of 8 people. This is a fast, exciting read even for someone like me, who had never even thought about what it must take to attempt a feat such as this. I read this because of meeting Peter who had climbed to Base Camp and had to be rescued. You feel the physical and mental torture climbers face as they brave the elements at 29,028 feet. You come away with a mixed bag of feelings--admiration for the courage of anyone who attempts such an impossible task--AND utter distain that these people could risk everything just to prove that they could do the impossible.
While this Orson Scott Card book is billed as fantasy or science-fiction, I would describe it as a spiritual book. It tells the story of a Mormon family with three young children who have recently located to a new state. It may have had the most profound emotional effect on me that I have ever experienced while reading a book. The characters are so well written that you feel like you know each of them, and the details of the Mormon religion are fascinating. While detailing the day-to-day mundane details of these people's lives, you find yourself holding your breath as they face the everyday hurdles we all face at home, school and the office. You won't soon forget this family or the ending of this book. (Available in paperback)
Other sites for book lovers include: The One Book where the idea is: If you could select just one book to recommend to others, what would it be? Check out the very interesting choices. Amazon offers book recommendations tailored to your own unique tastes. All you have to do is log in, review several books (about 25-30 so they can get a good feel for what you like to read), and then you can get your personalized list. Looking for an out-of-print book? Try Interloc--they will supply you with a list of booksellers across the country who have a copy of that particular book with a range of choices (paperback, hardback, condition, price, even authographed first editions!) Happy reading!
