Reosanne Bittner
It was absolutely great!!I have been reading Rosanne Bittner for a long time and have enjoyed every single book by her.It was interresting and kept me wanting to read more.

wonderful book
the reviews are true.I did NOT want this book to end.You will laugh cry and love this story.

Wonderful read...time flew!
I read this book in one day...I don't do that very often!This wasa very good read and I couldn't turn the pages fast enough.Towards the end I cried (won't spoil by telling you why), but the ending was awesome.I plan to read more of Ms. Bittner's books!

Beautiful, well written christian story
I am a diehard bittner fan. She has many wonderful books to her credit. This is a story that tugs at your heart strings. Clare, abandoned and swindled by her adulterous husband, takes her beautiful 3 yr old daughter sophie on a wagon train to montana to start over. Her good friends, Reverand Michael, carolyn and their little girl are her constant companions. The train is led by diehard ex army man dawson clements. He has led a tortured life since he was young and has lost his faith completely. He has not purpose in life and heads west to look for a new beginning himself. The trials and travails of those pioneer wagon trains provides the adventure. The dialogue between clare and dawson provides the evolution of their disheartened souls. And the book is enmeshed in love..family, friends, children and finally clare and dawson. There is a great deal of religious dialogue and definitely no torrid love scenes.Except for a kiss or two, no love scenes at all. While I really appreciated the story and liked the book a lot, I think it could have been less wordy on religion, which got a bit redundant, and notched up a tad on the love relationship between clare and dawson.Love relationships don't have to be tawdry and full of sex but even grade school kids have a hotter romance than this one. At any rate, You have to rejoice in the ending.

Wow!What a story!
I agree with the other two reviews.This book is a wonderful inspirational romance.Filled with laughs and crys and "real" characters with "real" issues in their lives.You really do take the trek with west with them.You see their growth and change and witness heartbreak first hand.Take time to read WALK BY FAITH.Rosanne Bittner has such a wonderful way of writing. ...

Experience anew the miracle of Christmas-and one special baby

A young girl, a decidedly unplanned pregnancy, and one miraculous little baby-it's an amazing story, one that sometimes gets buried under the tinsel of Christmas. That is, until something causes us to pause and reconsider the true magic of the holiday season. A Baby Changes Everything celebrates that baby in the manger in a fresh new way. Lyrics to Faith Hill's song "A Baby Changes Everything" are joined by reflective stanzas on the wonder of God's love and the Christmas season, how a baby can change our lives in an instant, and how one Baby changed the world forever. Along with the accompanying audio CD, A Baby Changes Everything makes for a beautiful expression of all that is wonderful about Christmas.

Excellent, very descriptive book
I think this is an extremely well written book. It gives descriptions of each stars background and how their lives were joined together. The book is focused on how Tim and Faith "Found" each other. They both seem very down to earth and very sensitive and compassionate towards each other, which is rare in this day and age. Everybody is usually looking out just for themselves. Tim hasmentioned time and again that they are never apart for more than 3 days at a time. The whole management, producers, band and family try and work together like a big family in order to do this. It must be very hard to balance family and career, but they seem to be able to do it. As they both say, family comes first. This is an excellent book of two Superstars and how they make it in this day and age. ... Read more

Tears? I don't think so.
James Dickerson says in his introduction that 'I defy you to read parts of this intimate story without shedding a tear or two.' Anybody who would shed a tear for the life of 'poor' Faith has got to have their priorities screwed up.
The biography, as written is interesting....the fact that she was adopted, her 'bratty' teenage years, her first teenage love, her immature first marriage, her 'almost' marriage and her wedding to Tim McGraw.
Other than her marrying Tim her life has been pretty ordinary and could be compared to anybody reaching adulthood. What sets Faith apart is her god-given talents which is why she is where she is today. I believe the book itself is more interesting when Dickerson discusses the Music Industry (read politics) in Nashville...What makes up a Country song and what does not...The amount of work and variations behind a recording...The interrelationships between the artists. This is where the book shines.
Shed a tear for Faith's millions? I don't think so.

Don't Place Any Faith In This Book
As a fan of Faith Hill's music, I wanted to probe the exterior of her career and delve into the beginnings of her success.Reading more like a book report, this text does an adequate job of summarizing Faith's life up to the debut of her album Breathe.That's about as far as I'll go.I think the book really suffered on three fronts: 1) there were no interviews between Faith and author James Dickerson.If Dickerson had conducted those interviews (he cites past interviews with Faith and other journalists), he would have established his credibility.This is the biggest problem I have with this book--Dickerson just wrote a 150-page report; 2) The resources used and way Dickerson presented Faith's life seemed storybook-like.Although it does mention them, this book does a poor job at probing how Faith's roadblocks ultimately shape her course to success; 3) this is only a minor criticism, but for me, the writing was too simplistic and didn't really challenge me at all.A celebrity biography isn't supposed to have the same flow as a presidential bio, for example, but the writing could have certainly been cleaned up to make it a little more interesting.
If you're interested in Faith Hill's life, leave the book at the library and watch Faith's feature on the Biography channel.It goes quicker and is more entertaining.

Rare gift of poise and style
Out of curiousity, I purchase this book written about Faith Hill, because after enjoying listening to her songs for eight years; and more recently my six young cousins whom are struck by her glamorous beauty. I, however, never saw Faith Hill as beautiful; instead I found her music to be felt rather than heard, and its subtle suggestions of melodic beauty and rhythmic patterns are perceptive. Faith has a conscience. Her music has a heart and soul that I admire.
Why? What's so special about Faith Hill? Why this lady with the very succesful music career? What is there about this sweet southern lady that is such a demand for? Surely, there are girls more extraordinary-looking, prettier, smarter, style, more sophisticated, I've attended a girls' school, and they were many? Absolutely, but the world doesn't know them. The bottom line: Faith has a face that is instantly understood and instantly appealing, right across the board, rich, poor, young, old, male, female, everybody loves her. It's part of our national mythology: The All-American Beautiful Blond Dream Girl. My great-grandfather had it. My grandparents had it. My father had it. In the forties, Anita Colby had it. Grace Kelly had it in the fifties. Kim Alexis had it in the eighties. Faith has it now.
That elusive, fabulous, sublime quality known as charisma! Her enthusiasm for life and people, her ability to make others feel excited and alive, and her exquisite sensitivity that make her popular, her successful, and forceful in work and relationships. She gives off radiance. Her account of finding her biological parents with her family's blessings is a happy inspiration of her courage. Many adopted children might not want to find their biological lineage for fear of the unknown.
Having ones personal life story written is intrusive. Yet, in this story about Faith without writing about her private life is a story that expresses the old adage that nothing is impossible. That with alot of hard work, determination, and luck your dreams can come true.

Faith Hill
Once againshe was great,She truely out done herself,its the best

Great Book!!
This is an excellent book! Its very thorough and interesting. A lot of times when you hear the word biography you think 'boring' but this book is anything but boring. Its exciting, emotional, and humerous, too! Faith is a wonderful person and I was so glad I got the chance to get to know her through this book! Any Faith fans, this is a must have book!! Go Faith!! ... Read more

Product Description
THEIR ROMANCE IS A COUNTRY FAIRY TALE. . . .

Tim McGraw and Faith Hill are two of the hottest stars in country music. As husband and wife, they've created a romance for the ages and a model marriage that includes two beautiful daughters. Since meeting and falling in love on their Spontaneous Combustion tour in 1996, Faith and Tim have become known in Nashville as the new Mr. and Mrs. Country Music.

As a child in a small Mississippi town, Faith dreamed of someday making it big in Nashville. At nineteen, she moved to Music City and struggled for years (including a retail job at Fan Fair!) before scoring her big break. Tim grew up riding horses and playing baseball in rural Louisiana. When he was eleven, he accidentally discovered his mother's deepest secret--that he is the biological son of pro baseball player Tug McGraw. Years later, Tim went on to match his father's success by becoming one of the most popular singers in Nashville.

Faith Hill and Tim McGraw's signature duet--the multiple-award-winning "It's Your Love"--is the love theme to a relationship in perfect harmony. To millions of fans, Tim and Faith represent romance, family, and great music. PERFECT HARMONY is a dazzling tribute to their inspiring story.

A Tim and Faith fan but...
This book lacks depth. Its information is vague. It seems like Mr. Gray wrote it by doing an internet search and reading a fewmagazine articles. You won't find anything new here or see any pictures that you can't locate yourself on the internet. Save your money.

love those mcgraws!
I read this book and I thought that it made a very good story. It really does seem that tim & faith had a fairy tale romance. Though they did have a bump or two (the relatonship that she was in when they met). Itpaints a nice, happy picture of what has always appeared to be thatandmore. Any fan of Faith or Tim would love this book. I know that I did.Itjust should have been longer. ... Read more

Peter's Story will Strengthen YOUR Faith
Traveling Home was a difficult story to read...why does a 20 year old die of cancer? However, at every turn each person pointed to God. Peter said, "why not me?" I recommend this story to anyone facing a life threatening illness. It offers prayers and encouragement if you go to heaven today or at a "ripe old age." This is an unflinching look at life, death, faith and family.

A must for any parent who is faced with a similar tragic situation.
Cancer isn't something that happens to twenty year olds. "Traveling Home: A Young Man's Story of Courage and Faith" is a mother and uncle's recollection of a man taken from the world far too soon. Peter Hill was diagnosed with a cancer at age twenty, passing away a year later. His acceptance of his fate at such a young age is the center of the story as they tell of his last months on this Earth and his embrace of God. "Traveling Home" is a must for any parent who is faced with a similar tragic situation.

Traveling Home
This is a must read by anyone, especially someone who is going through the fear of cancer or has lost someone to cancer. This is not a story of sadness, but a story of courage and hope. I bought 10 more to give as gifts. Thank you Charlotte for opening up your heart and sharing your son with us.

Extraordinary death and life
I've known about this story from the time it happened, but reading it again brings it afresh to me again. Because of Peter's story many lives have been changed including mine and even my neighbor down the street who happened to be just down the hall from Peter in the hospital when this extraordinary thing happened. It changed his life for eternity! Just lately, I was reading the book and asked my 13 year old grandson to read the forward. After he read it, I asked him if it made him feel better or worse. He slowly said, "It made me think."

Traveling Home: A Yound Man's Story of Courage and Faith
With the impending death of Charlotte Hill's son Peter, Rev. Don Waite (Peter's uncle)writes letters to Peter offering hope without wishful thinking, truth without whitewashing the darkness and love without embarrassment. And, when Peter dies, his faith and the faith and strength of this family offer us all a way of communicating about death when it is so difficult to express ourselves. Peter's story is a great resource for anyone who is faced with the eminent death of a family member or close friend. Traveling Home: The right words for a difficult time. ... Read more

Exhibit Companion

Faith Ringgold holds a singular niche in American art. Her quilts are famed and appear in museums, private collections and children's books.

This retrospective, like many books that accompany "one man shows" is a once over lightly. Like other exhibit companions, biographical information has all been printed before and kudos and admiration appear on every page. Like an exhibit catalog, the photos are too small to do real justice to the works.

The treat of this book is having a sampling of Ringgold's different periods and themes in between two covers.

While not the intent of a book like this, I hope to see, one day, a full scale biography of this unique person and how her talent grew. ... Read more
