Paperback. Zustand: Fair. Gabe's happily headed back to Nerd Camp--but can he handle a cool-kid invasion?

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. People from all walks of life long for a personal and significant connection with God. We frequently look for God to speak to us in a burning bush, a strike of lightening, or a talking donkey. Sure, you might snicker. And yet we often fall back on the perception that God only spoke to huge men of faith as recorded in the Bible totally overlooking the fact that God continues to speak to us through His Word, the Scripture. These are His words to us, His promises to guide, comfort, minister and bring peace to humanity. These unique entries one for each day of the year are based upon scripture as conversational affirmations from God, with prayers of response for the reader, and with room for personal journaling. Have you ever wished you had a friend you could talk to about anything? Someone who would listen to your deepest secrets, thoughts, and feelings? When God Speaks to My Heart, is more than just a book, it's a journey of discovery into a relationship with God, revealing.…

Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. In THE CONFIDENCE GAME, longtime financial journalist and pundit Gerri Willis takes on the progressive mind-set championed by the liberal Democrats that permits bureaucrats to decide what's best for individuals, and which has resulted in more government, more bureaucracy, and more taxpayer money spent. Willis delves into Obamacare, tax initiatives, and more, to show how these approaches have worked against financially independent Americans. Then she shares advice to overcome these hurdles, explaining how readers can profit and grow their nest egg even amid assaults from Washington. Among the topics Willis tackles in the book: how the progressive agenda has robbed Americans of their financial self-confidence (a new Blackrock survey shows that 4 out of 10 Americans haven't even started saving for retirement)--and how to get it back how the wide-open spigot of loan dollars has encouraged college and university administrators to boost tuition and fees each and every year--and how we can navigate the system and stop the cycle of debt how, with a sweep of President Obama's pen, company-sponsored health-care coverage was put on deathwatch, as scores of companies abandoned employee health-care coverage and opted to pay a less expensive federal penalty why the progressive solution to the 2007 market crash and subsequent recession has acted as an albatross on the shoulders' of American corporations, keeping corporate tax rates at levels unparalleled among Western nations--and what we need to do to jumpstart jobs and the economy how the Federal Reserve's zero interest rates have robbed seniors of the returns they need to see them through their retirement years. With THE CONFIDENCE GAME, Willis delivers a fiery polemic on our personal finances, revealing how liberal public policy has decimated our wallets, and what we can do to fill them again.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. My dream of becoming a writer is like a fallen leaf swept up by the wind--dancing inches from my reach, teasing, never letting me touch it. But somehow I hope that my life will have meaning one day. The story begins in 1939 with Rose, who takes a job driving a bookmobile when she moves with her family from rural Texas to the Louisiana bayou. Two decades later, Merle Henry, Rose's son, is more passionate about trapping mink than reading, although there is a place in his heart for Old Yeller. In 1973, Merle Henry's daughter, Annabeth, feels torn between reading fairy tales and a crush on her own real-life knight in shining armor. And in the present day, Annabeth's son, Kyle, finds himself in a bind: he hates reading, but the only summer job he can get is at the library. Touching, lyrical, and always intriguing, this family's story reveals how a love of books creates a powerful bond that spans generations. Part of Me is a 2007 Bank Street - Best Children's Book of the Year.…

Hardback. Zustand: Good. Here is wisdom for the workplace from the husband-and-wife team of the nationally syndicated public radio series New Dimensions, which airs each week on more than 300 stations and is often described as Bill Moyers on radio. Some people are consumed by their work, others simply endure it as they anticipate the weekend or retirement, and hardly anyone enjoys it anymore. If we could find a way to transform how we view what we do so that it becomes a source of enjoyment and refreshment, it would be a cause for celebration. And indeed, this is exactly what Michael and Justine Toms provide in their remarkable book--the fruit of their own twenty-five years of practical experience. According to the Toms, the bottom line is: Has our compassion grown with our business? Has our wisdom expanded with our budget? And has our laughter increased with our staff? Their book looks at work as service and as a spiritually sustaining activity that promotes healing. It is brimful with stories and helpful techniques culled from their radio interviews with Joseph Campbell, Buckminster Fuller, the Dalai Lama, Alice Walker, Jon Kabat-Zinn, Marsha Sinetar, and many others.…
