A 100% Satisfying Read––Two Thumbs Enthusiastically Up!
The Bookie's Son by Andrew Goldstein
I was charmed by this book before opening it. First, the title: The Bookie’s Son. Titillating and a bit shocking. Who has a bookie for a dad? I must have been fated to read this book because the couple on the cover look quite a bit like my parents in the early 1960s. I was positively inclined toward it...

This I Believe (Religion & Spirituality)

Description:
In the 1950s, Edward R Murrow hosted a radio program, "This I Believe." Prominent and unknown Americans spelled out their most cherished credos and personal beliefs. The radio show lead to a series of books solicited from readers. The current book of the This I Believe series was published in 2007. Social philosopher Studs Terkel kicks off the book with his essay. Also included are essays by Isabel Allende, Gloria Steinem, Warren Buffet, Bill Gates, and Newt Gingrich. My reading group read the book for our last meeting. We took up the challenge; the twelve of us set out our core beliefs. We're going to submit them to the people putting together the next book. Here's my offering:

Emotionally Wounded Spiritually Strong First, I am blessed that goodreads affords us the opportunity to be friends. Therefore, I wanted to invite you as a fan and request your support for my book.
Many are being healed from the pages of this book. I thank God that I did not allow my fears to hinder my progress to get this book out. Transparency is the antidote that has touched several. My journey is to help others through the healing process--an intrepid life's journey.
This read has received great reviews: Goodreads.com, Barnes & Nobles, eBook, Nook and other. Please help me get this book out to others by recommending it and spreading the word.
Please subscribe to my webpage www.tcarterministries.com
Thank you for all of your support
[bookcover:Blessed Footsteps: Memoirs of JR Holden|10403836The Memoirs of JR Holden is unique, in part, due to the humble nature of this star athlete. And the story he tells is one of hope, inspiration, faith, courage, and belief. JR tells this story without hiding or covering up any of his pit falls or short comings along the way. You will put this book down genuinely sensing the passion this young man lives life with

Hi, CJ. Haven't written on Goodreads in a while. Been concentrating on facebook (http://facebook.com/sandynathan) I've been rewriting my novel Numenon's sequel, chugging forward slowly. Lots of fun articles on my blogs http://yourshelflife.com and http://sandranathan.net Please stop by. Shelflife is for writers, the other is my personal blog for airing WHAT BOTHERS ME, AND TICKLES ME.How are you?
Hi Sandy, stopped by to see what's new on your page. Have a great week.Blessings CJ

Hi, CJ and all!I've been working like crazy and haven't been on line much. I've been occupied with the business of writing. I just got a manuscript off to the editor for a second pass, and so on.
I discovered animoto.com. They do amazing computer generated videos. You supply images and text, and select music. Their computer generates the video. They're smart, sharp, and stunning. Cost? $0 for under 30 seconds, $30 a year for longer than that. You can make an infinite number of videos. Here are two, which are for for my books. You can see the the variety possible:
Numenon: A Tale of Mysticism & Money A thriller.

Stepping Off the Edge A spiritual companion.

Ilene has been a psychotherapist for 36+ years, is an author, consultant, and all round wise woman. Here's the link for the show:

Sandy, I apologize for the untimely invite :-) The unfortunate aspect of sending invites is that I cannot see the locations of my friends on GoodReads when I send them an invite. And I have adjusted the time!
Hi Sandy.Well JM Keynes and Galbraithe are certainly back in vogue now that the Thatcherite (Milton Who?) experiment has screwed itself - and us with it. Hopefully Obama's election signals a much needed change of direction and not just in the US.,
Anyway.....Thanks for the friendship on Goodreads. If you like good fantasy fiction with a bit of an edge then check out THE LUNDQUIST CHRONICLES by (er) ME on http://www.lulu.com/content/4649341 The ISBN is ISBN 978-1-4092-4155-3 It's very much influenced by MNR James and Nigel Kneale's Quatermass
Hi Sandy and thanks for the add. Your website is so awesome. I love your work. Hope you have a great Thanksgiving!
Blessings,
Jeannie
The asked him, "In all of god's splendors, where can I find God?"And he spoke this parable: there was once a very rich man, who had collected the most priceless treasures of the world, and gathered them together in his house. And when his house caught fire, he ran in and rescued his child
Hi, Ilene. Glad to be your friend. Thanks for the good wishes. I looked up and joined the two groups you mentioned. Don't know how much active participation I'll get in, but they look interesting.All the best,
Sandy
