The Magic of Believing
The Magic of Believing

Review:Very repetitive. Many of the sample stories could have been eliminated making the book an easy read. Of course, the book is very old and the verbiage antiquated, but the vein of the idea of believing that YOU CAN is still very relevant today. Read more

The Adventures of a Reluctant Student - Illusions II
The Adventures of a Reluctant Student - Illusions II

Review:It's not quite what I was expecting - definitely different than "Illusions" - but it offers some great perspectives. I found the book serendipitously and so was ready and open to what Mr. Bach had to say. Read more

Hope for the Flowers
Hope for the Flowers

Review:I was introduced to this book in a class provided by the company I work for. The class was entitled "Thinking Outside the Box". This class has been attended by executives and managers at large corporations the world over. I'm sure no one in the class expected the last activity to be reading "Hope for the Flowers" aloud. Although this is a "children's" book, it can be appreciated at many levels. I'm sure children will find it very entertaining and moving. However, the specific message relevant to... Read more

An Invitation Worth Considering - Dinner with a Perfect Stranger
An Invitation Worth Considering - Dinner with a Perfect Stranger

Review:This book helps answer many of the questions that we may want to ask but aren't sure who to ask or how to ask. It is a fictional book with a Biblical point of view. Engaging and easy to read. Great gift for those who may be wondering or asking questions about how this god thing works. Read more

Magical Mermaids and Dolphin Oracle Cards - A 44-Card Deck and Guidebook
Magical Mermaids and Dolphin Oracle Cards - A 44-Card Deck and Guidebook

Review:At first i wasn't connecting with these cards, but have since found them useful for simple guidance. They speak to you in their own way and the insight is all done in a positive manner. I will buy another Doreen Virtue deck (already own the Angel Tarot cards which I love). Read more

A Book about the Way and the Power of the Way - Tao Te Ching
A Book about the Way and the Power of the Way - Tao Te Ching

Review:I've read several translations of Tao Te Ching. This is my least favorite. Ursula LeGuin is one of my favorite authors. I love her stories, so I thought she would bring the same flair to this ancient text. Not in my opinion. I hardly recognize some of my favorite stanzas. I've basically stopped reading it. Read more

The Prayer That Changes Everything® Book of Prayers
The Prayer That Changes Everything® Book of Prayers

Review:I purchased 10 books with the intention of gifting them but when I received them, I realized I ordered the wrong book. So the lesson learned is to check the total number of pages in the book before purchasing. However, I am very satisfied with Amazon because my money was credited very quickly. Read more

The Gift of Contemplative Prayer - Everything Belongs
The Gift of Contemplative Prayer - Everything Belongs

Review:Oh my! I keep reading and re-reading sections and pages and chapters. I have yet to make it to the end (because I don't want it to end ?) and I already know this book will be my friend for years to come. Read more

Ruthless Trust: The Ragamuffin's Path to God
Ruthless Trust: The Ragamuffin's Path to God

Review:Brennan's deep spiritual insight speaks to my skeptical and pragmatic nature. I have a copy many places for myself and refer to it as I would the Bible primarily for hope; but I receive that hope in a more real here and now way. I have also given it as a gift to people I knew would embrace it as I have and they have felt the same about the book's spiritual power, as the "balm of Gilead" Read more

An Arrow Pointing to Heaven - A Devotional Biography
An Arrow Pointing to Heaven - A Devotional Biography

Review:I have long wondered about Rich Mullins, so bought this book to round out my order and get free shipping from Amazon. I was disappointed. I gather that it does a good job of what it does, but it doesn't do what I expected. I was looking for a biography of Rich Mullins, and while this book does contain some of that you have to dig it out from among the ten devotionals the author offers. I do understand that the devotionals represent important aspects of life that Mullins'held dear, but I quit ... Read more
