This review is from: Lists to Live By: The First Collection: For Everything that Really Matters (Paperback)

This book was a gift to me and we have really enjoyed it. It uses a Christian based outlook to give practical, short and to the point hints on all aspects of one's life: marriage, kids, home safety, time management, etc.. I highly recommend it. It would make a great gift!

4.0 out of 5 stars Tips To Live Healthy, Wealthy, & Wise, January 31, 2000

This review is from: Lists to Live By: The First Collection: For Everything that Really Matters (Paperback)

This intriguing collection gathers wisdom from throughout the Western world: marriage counselors, the Bible (and Bible scholars), Poor Richard's Almanac, health professionals, moms, dads, kids, and grandparents. It is at times inspiring (interesting sections on when good virtues turn bad and on deadliest sins), at times impractical (one hour of reading for one hour of TV viewing? Binoculars made from toilet paper tubes as a kids' toy?) and even saccharine (We're supposed to use our TV time to snuggle and rub backs! I cringed when I read that line.) But then again, much here will admonish, console, and refresh and mostly, remind you of what we ought to do but often don't remember to. A good gift for those who enjoy Christy Lane, "Touched By An Angel," and all wholesome things - or need to.
