  chrisbrogan.com — Authority: 695
  While at Web 2.0 Expo, I was handed a copy of Scott Berkun’s great new book, Confessions of a Public Speaker (affiliate link). I’ve seen Scott speak a few times before, and he knows his stuff. Add to this his sense of humor, plus the fact that pretty much everyone can stand to learn some new ideas about ...

  iCrucified — Authority: 122
  The Liturgical Year by Joan Chittister, available through Thomas Nelson Publishing , marks the fifth book in the Ancient Practices Series that I have read.

• Manhood for Amateurs (review: 4/5)

  
  mlarson.org — Authority: 92
  I became impatient with the few Michael Chabon books I’ve tried, never finished one. And historically I have had little patience with memoir. So what do I do? I go pick up Michael Chabon’s new memoir, Manhood for Amateurs: The Pleasures and Regrets of a Husband, Father, and Son . Good decision, it turns out. ...

  DM Speaks — Authority: 118
  I Recommend Your purchase supports this site. I just had to tell you what a FANTASTIC book Ronie Kendig has written. I loved how it held my interest from beginning to end. I told myself that I would only read one chapter a night, but it was so hard to stop reading at just one chapter! I was ...

  chrisbrogan.com — Authority: 695
  I started out in customer service. Lots of people passionate about social media have some customer service in their background. That’s why I really got into Barry Moltz’s and Mary Jane Grinstead’s book BAM!: Delivering Customer Service in a Self-Service World (amazon affiliate link). It’s a very readable ...

  iCrucified — Authority: 122
  The Contemplative Pastor by Eugene Peterson I’ve read a lot of books written by Eugene Peterson and can say without exaggeration that his books are among my favorites; he is among my favorite authors…on any given day, arguably my most favored.

• Book Review: Called to Worship

  
  iCrucified — Authority: 122
  Called to Worship is a wonderful resource to me. While it is an easy read, I find it even more valuable as a reference, resource, and continuing reminder for the prominence that worship plays in our relationship with God. While I fancy myself a “creative” and “free” worshipper, I am more prone to slip into ...

• Hiding the Elephant

  
  Simplicitas ???? — Authority: 110
  I’m going to keep this short in line with my theory that bad books provide a lot of ground for snarky commentary while good books speak for themselves. Hiding the Elephant is a history of stage magic during the golden age (the last half of the 19th century and the beginning decades of the 20th). The ...

• More on John Grisham’s Cluelessness

  
  Simplicitas ???? — Authority: 110
  Continuing the saga of nitpicking amusing errors made by Grisham in his attempt to portray associate life at a big firm. This is not an exhaustive list, only the ones that I bothered writing up. I should preface this by saying that Grisham gets much right, and he did do his research . He’s also a skilled ...

• Law Firm Demographics — or Why John Grisham Has No Idea What He’s Talking About

  
  Simplicitas ???? — Authority: 110
  I like Grisham, really, I do. I think he’s got a great sense of narrative and pacing — skills that I certainly can use more of — and he’s pretty careful with his research. But he skims on some very obvious things, like the demographics of associates at large law firms. Here’s what he writes in The ...

• Book Review: The Gift of the Psalms

  
  Life Here And There — Authority: 125
  I’ve recently finished reading through this neat little gift book, The Gift of Psalms . I’ve thumbed through dozens of similar gift books and quite frankly, usually think of them as think slices of sentimentalism with no real substance, wrapped in leather and foil and sold to the highest bidder. This book, ...

• Don’t be such a scientist!

  
  Sciencebase Science Blog — Authority: 119
  Don’t be such a scientist! It’s the kind of thing I’d expect my sister to say to my face if I’ve gone off on one of my lecture mode conversations about some great discovery, or something some of my artier friends might whisper about me behind my back. Sometimes it’s a personal wish…but then I think of ...
