Review:Thomas Cahill's "Sailing the Wine-Dark Sea: Why the Greeks Matter" is another in his series of books entitled "The Hinges of History" in which he focuses on an historical civilization and tries to show their impact and relevance on the modern Western world, all written for a general audience. This is a very shallow and unenlightening survey of Greek culture, tinged with some annoyances of Cahill's writing.

Review:I purchased this book for a class to read a couple chapters, but kept it to read more about the philosophical spin that Hoff puts on the stories of Pooh.
Very interesting read, and makes one stop and ponder life and its wonders. Read more

It is in very good condition--practically like new. Read more
Review:An amazing book that virtually anyone, regardless of your religious beliefs or background, can appreciate. A short passage for each day of the year allows readers to take a moment to meditate upon the reading for that specific day. This book has been nothing short of an asset to my life. BUY IT. READ IT. ABSORB IT. Read more
Review:I was very disappointed with the product. It was described as "Used, Very Good" with no marking or writing inside. Today I received a book that was stained and marked with pencil, pen, and highlighter. The outside cover had been folded at least a few times and a large piece of tape was barely holding the back cover together. Overall, I was very disappointed. Read more
Review:Beyond Past Lives, by Mira Kelley, is an exciting exploration of self-awareness through the concept of parallel lives. Not only a fabulous spiritual growth read, this book rocked my perception with two specific concepts.link to the book on Amazon

Review:What I particularly liked about it was that I felt it took the subject of meditatitive "mindfulness" and applied it to it's usage during the waking course of everyday life -- that is, to noticing what's in you and around you at any given time, i.e., engaging life. Usually I find the subject of meditation treated as recommending a solitary way of retreating from the disturbing pressures of life (sit, cross your legs, breathe....) That's good, some need it, I don't particularly. But this was a goo... Read more
Review:My wife and I frequently use meditation as a tool for general wellness. She has several illnesses that respond to the instructions given on this CD. I would highly recommend this to anyone with a disabling disease as a useful means of gaining some relief. Read more
Review:This book was full of enlightenment information. It was straight to the point. No unnecessary fluff. Those 5 steps to manifestation were truly helpful. When applied I feel an intense vibration that I’ve never felt before. If this book resonates with you please get it Read more
