Book Reviews from Master The Art of Reading participants

Cutting Your Family's Hair by Gloria Handel: Easy to see how to cut hair. Helps with cutting your own, too.

Steve and Me by Terri Irwin: I absolutely LOVED this book! Written by Steve's wife Terri Irwin, she goes on to recall the adventures she had with her husband known to all as "The Crocodile Hunter". As she regales her tale, she paints a beautiful portrait of a man who's main love in life was animals. She begins with their first encounter at the Australia Zoo claiming love at first sight. I could feel the love she felt for him and his work that he did as she wrote. She goes on to describe the croc rescues and his ideas to expand the zoo. Plus the documentaries that made the famed Croc Hunter a worldwide sensation. Through her kind words and his amazing work it made me appreciate animals a whole lot more and see them in a whole new light. I've always loved animals as a kid and think the world of those animal advocates out there trying to make the world a better place for them. I would recommend this book to anyone animal lover or not. I love memoirs because the way people write them with such thought and love it's almost like you feel you know them. They're just ordinary people like us.

Prodigal God by Timothy Keller: One of the most insightful books I have read. Some good, inspiring thoughts and a book I could not put down.

You can train your cat by Jo and Paul Loeb: I learned some good tips that I used to train my cat and they worked.

When Organizing isn't enough by Julie Morganstern: I didn't think there was more to learn on this subject, but there was. Helpful.

Confessions of a Video Vixen by Karrine Steffans: This book gave me a walk through the life history of Ms. Steffans. I had no idea that of all the pitfalls and perks of her life and her career. I will always look up to Karrine for sticking in there, and progressing through her trials and tribulations.
