Review:I like the idea of waking and reading a different quote to get my day started. However, I found the misspellings in the beginning of the book to be a bit distracting. Also, this book didn't seem to be any different than similar books of this nature and there was a lot of quotes that I had seen before from other sources. The kindle format was fine to view on my phone but I think that the actual paper version would have worked better for me.
I received this book for free in exchange for my ... Read more
Review:I was so pleased with this book. I especially liked the scripture references throughout the book. I thank Mr. Houge for being a willing vessel for Christ, he had truly blessed my spirit with this one. I am now starting on another book he had written 'Choosing Words that Heal' and I'm sure it will be just as good. Read more
Review:A good review of Islam beliefs. A little one-sided but then that is the purgative of the author. I learned a great deal about the roots of Islam, especially trying to separate the myths from the basics. Read more
Review:Bhagavad-Gita or, The Song Celestial (From the Mahabharata).
This is an excellent treatment of millenia-old Hindu religious thought for the modern day thinking man. The main body of the book is Lord Krishna's explanation to his life-long friend and champion archer Arjun of life's purpose. I heartily recommend it to any reader interested in obtaining an overview of one of India's greatest philosophical works! Read more
Review:Excellent book! At first I thought it might not be a good fit, but I was soon proven wrong. It is very eye opening, encouraging, validating and self empowering. Giving your love and life away to ones with no appreciation or regard or recipricocity or even RECOGNITION of what you've done/shared is a waste of the valuable gift if time and the joys USUALLY associated with serving others. This book helps you recognize it isn't you with the problem after all, which is the first place empaths go, lol.... Read more
Review:Reading the reviews posted here is joyous to me. My favorite reviewer comment is: "if you've made it this far, just do it!" I remember the day I ordered Prometheus Rising (it was January 2007, possibly even the very day RAW died). I don't remember what led me to the book, but I know my life can be roughly divided into pre- and post-Promethus Rising periods. Buy the ticket, take the ride.
edit: I just realized that this review was written nearly 10 years to the day that RAW died and I purc... Read more
Review:This is an exceptional book! I always have really loved Apostle John Eckhardt's readings and teachings. Also, check out his teachings on youtube about the prophetic anointing. They are an awesome compliment to this books. I am recommending this book to every prophet I know! Thank you Apostle Eckhardt for putting what many prophets are thinking on paper! Read more
Review:I think it is a great book and quite informative. However Lesley Hazleton has only used sources from a particular school of thought and never bothered to check up on the others. For example Imam Hassan and his father, Imam Ali, were portrayed as having views that conflicted with each other basically. In reality these 2 men were some of the greatest men to have walked the earth. There's a reason they are considered as Imams and part of the 12 descendant Imams after the prophet. I won't go into de... Read more
Review:Having studied Islam at university, I bought a number of books about Islam and Islamic thought and culture, and this is one of the books I bought. Some of the books have been negative in nature, often by Muslim and Arab writers, but this book by Mr Ramadan is a positive book about Muhammad and what he means to Islam, and perhaps to the wider world.
It isn't so much the history of Muhammad but more the understanding of Muhammad's life and teachings and the theology and meanings that come f... Read more
Review:Very powerful book. It really does open things up in the spiritual realm. If you do not have a consistent prayer life and read the Bible, do not read this book because things are awakened in the spiritual realm! Very great read! Read more
