"At eight years of age, Dorothy Hamill skated on ice for the first time. She had no skates, so her mother stuffed socks into her brother’s old ones. The rest is history. Most remember her as the girl with the cute haircut who won the Olympic gold medal for ladies figure skating at the 1976 Winter Olympics, but no one really knew about the unhappy life she led. The child of parents who both had undiagnosed, untreated depression, Dorothy’s genetic makeup could hardly avoid the same. We learn the details of the not-so-idyllic life of Dorothy Hamill: her marriage to and divorce from the love of her life, her second marriage to an unfaithful man who told his girlfriend he couldn’t leave his wife because she was 'too good an opportunity,' and her purchase of Ice Capades and the bankruptcy that followed. Dorothy has discovered who she is and her purpose in life, and also 'what it means to truly win ... both on and off the ice.'"

"You can, and should, go home again is proven by Carolyn Jourdan in this autobiographical tale. She is living a fast-paced life working on Capitol Hill until the call comes that her mother has had a heart attack.Feeling duty-bound to return home, Carolyn replaces her mother as the receptionist in her father’s medical practice. Carolyn shows, through humorous and heart-wrenching stories, the people in this poor rural community, and we see how she copes with all their idiosyncrasies. This book is a heart-warming story of compassion and it keeps you entertained as you eagerly wait to see who the next interesting patient wil be to walk through the door."

"'Just because I’m a Christian and I’m trying to articulate a Christian worldview doesn’t mean I’ve got it nailed. I’m contributing to the discussion. God has spoken, and the rest is commentary, right?’ Rob Bell commands the attention of his readers, even down to the blip on the back of the book. He encourages his readers to look at the Christian faith a little differently, from biblical history that describes Jesus as a real person to ideas of the Christian individual’s role as a witness, with the environment and in the church. Bell doesn’t ask the reader to agree with him; in fact, he begs that the reader test and probe what he says. ‘Don’t swallow it uncritically. Think about it. Wrestle with it.’ I recommend this book to anyone who would like a fresh look on faith."
