I loved this series of books and my kids did too! This is one of 28 in the series, I bought 10 of them when my kids were small....and wished then that I could have bought them all. (Found 17 more in another bookcase after I wrote this review on the first 10 I posted....# 28 is probably somewhere.)
I do highly recommend these books - they teach the title concepts in a very entertaining concrete step-by-step way.

I bought all the books in this series when my kids were little and loved every one of them (28). One of the best series of books ever to help kids understand what their parents mean when they say something and how exactly to go about doing it. Great book, great series. Highly recommend.

Published 1961 by General Mills. Lots of good ideas.

A classic. Dr. Ginott was a must read for baby-boomers starting their families in the 1970's. Wonderful book with timeless truths.

For all who choose life over death, and are pained by the loss of the unborn, this story will help ensure that we withhold compassion from no one who needs it. You'll never forget the true story of Debbie.

True compelling story which goes against the grain of conventional secular wisdom. I enjoyed it.

In this moving and engrossing memoir, veteran television news producer Richard Cohen relates a life spent dealing with multiple sclerosis, first diagnosed when he was 25 years old and just getting started in the competitive world of broadcast journalism. As his career progressed, he struggled not only with the disease but the touchy question of how much of the truth about himself to share with colleagues and potential employers. Cohen spent much of his life running from the onset of the disease's symptoms from which his father and grandmother also suffered. Defiantly, he took challenging, sometimes extremely dangerous assignments in Lebanon, Poland, and on the domestic political campaign trail, even as his body deteriorated. But over the course of Blindsided, it becomes apparent that illness had actually built Cohen up even as it ripped him apart. Without the physical and mental toughness required to navigate a journalist's life while fighting back loss of eyesight and poor equilibrium, it's doubtful that the flaky kid we meet early in the book would transform into the award-winning professional Cohen eventually becomes. His marriage to journalist Meredith Vieira, every bit his equal as both newshound and deadpan cynical comic, gave Cohen the stable family life and children he needed when MS made it impossible to continue in a traditional news job. But two bouts with colon cancer in the late 1990s tested his resolve and his family's patience. While Cohen is both courageous and inspirational, Blindsided is not the overly sentimental clichéd tale that stories about fighting illness often become. He refuses to paint himself as the hero (except when making fun of his own failure to be heroic) and recounts in detail the strain that he put on his marriage and children. Stories such as this often end with the memoirist arriving at a state of peace and mental clarity but again Cohen remains more compelling and credible by offering no such pat answers. As with most people fighting to preserve their families, their lives, and their bodies, Richard Cohen's is an ongoing struggle.

Greg Louganis won back-to-back double gold medals at the 1984 and 1988 Olympics, and his amazing physique and handsome face should have made him a media superstar. Yet Louganis's struggles with self-doubt lack of confidence held him back personally and professionally. He only achieved real happiness after coming out as an HIV-positive gay man. This is a thoughtful, sensitive portrait of a man whose insecurities nearly destroyed him, but who found the love and inner strength to save himself.

An excellent collection of stylistically important works. Very well-organized and informative as well as fun to read.

The body of Christ can't be all that it should be unless we mature in our interpersonal relationships as the Bible commands. Building Up One Another has been helping believers do just that since 1976, when Gene Getz first published what has since become a best-selling classic. This book, the cornerstone of the well-known One Another Series, has now been thoroughly updated and rewritten, drawing upon Dr. Getz's church planting and building up experience. It also includes a personal and group study.
Explore with Dr. Getz twelve significant one another commands of the New Testament, and follow the practical steps for developing them in your own life and in the life of your church. It's a long-term building process, but one that pleases God and reaps rewards not just in this lifetime but in the next.

One of the charms of Mason Mystery is the strange opening. This may be one of the strangest; when Mason was working in midnight, a mysterious girl was prowling on the fire escape; Mason tried to catch her who slapped his face and went away; the newspaper reported the incident as Mason's love affair and Della mocked him "it is not safe to trust you alone in the office."

I wasn't able to finish the book. I got about 3/4ths of the way through and realized I just didn't care enough about any of it to finish. The author tries to portray the cheerleaders and teams in a meaningful way but fails in my opinion. In the end, there are too many characters and we don't know any of them well enough to become engaged in their stories.

This book was a life-saver when my kids were little....common sense advice and what to do when your child has an injury. Dr. Shiller really helps sort out whether home remedies are sufficient or if medical care is called for. Great reference book to help parents navigate the bumps, bruises and traumas that are part of most kid's lives.

Terrific book that went from 2500 printed in December 1965 to 40,000 in the 9th printing in October 1974.

Getting into college is easy. In the United States, there's no problem finding some institute of higher learning that will admit you, in exchange for some amount of money. Getting into the right college, however, the college that is best suited to you, your academic abilities, your goals, and your personality--that's a little more of a challenge. It's a challenge well worth all the effort you can put into it, however, as college is one of the formative experiences of your life.

The first half or three-quarters of the book, I couldn't lay it down. The last part....I had a hard time slogging through. Maybe it isn't fair but the therapies, described in detail and exhaustively, became tedious to wade through. I'm happy for Mia and Claire restored relationship though.
