Have Wisdom and Excellent English in your Bag!!!

Get this Outstanding Book Right Now and Have Wisdom and Excellent English in your Bag!!! I highly recommend this outstanding book for those who seek wisdom and those who seek enhancement in their English Language. There are several reasons beyond my admiration for this book. First, this book provides you with the most popular English proverbs and sayings. I am sure that you will find some of them resemble the ones of your language in meaning but in different forms. Believe you me, you will have lots of fun once you read it.Additionally, you will learn these popular proverbs and sayings very easily as the author, Mr. Titelman, explains the meaning of them very clearly.Furthermore, there are sufficient examples for each single proverb and saying that will help you understand it and get it in your blood before you can say Jack Robinson. So far, this is the best book about English proverbs and sayings that I have seen. The author has really done excellent job. Finally, Guys, always remember we need to seek wisdom to act with fullness and soundness of our conscience and this book is, in my opinion, quite good source of wisdom. Imam Ali (peace be upon him), the first Believer in Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him and his family) and the Commander of the Faithful, says, "Like your body your mind also gets tired so refresh it by wise saying." For those who are interested in further books about English proverbs, there are 2 other great books I would love to recommend to them. Theses super books are:1) 101 American English Proverbs written by Harry Collis (ISBN # 084425412-6)2) Oxford concise Dictionary of Proverbs (ISBN # 019280084-1)And for those interested in Imam Ali's sayings, they can buy " Peak of Eloquence Nahjul Balagha." Whose ISBN is 0-941724-18-2
