Profound Healing: The Power of Acceptance on the Path to Wellness 3 reviews
Cheryl Canfield
Healing Arts Press, 2003
inspiring journey of a wise and gentle soul
The last time I used a highlighter on a book, it was around 1988, I was writing a college paper on Virginia Woolf's "To the Lighthouse," and I needed to mark recurring themes. In reading "Profound Healing" 15 years later, I finally reached for a highlighter again, because I knew that a) I would be keeping this book for a long time, and b) after I finished gobbling up the "plot," I would want to ...

Betty Cavanna
HarperTrophy, 1998
An excellent coming of age book for young women.
This has been a very special favorite book of mine for over 25 years. Betty Cavanna writes with wonderful caring and sensitivity of a young girl's struggles with the absence of her mother (died), her red hair and freckles, and a remote father at the critical time of turning 16. And then there is the collie - a runt turned unexpected champion through loving care! It's a book I have passed ...

Working With Groups to Explore Food & Body Connections: Eating Issues, Body Image, Size Acceptance, Self-Care ...1 review
Whole Person Associates, 1996
Good Value
In running a Community Resource Centre for people affected by eating disorders, we come across a lot of books about body image. Until books have been perused it is difficult to decide which ones to spend money on, especially with a limited budget. "Food & Body Connections" was definately a good choice. It contains descriptions of group activities which are brilliant in their simple ...

Les Hughes
B&H Publishing Group, 1999
A timely book on the human need for approval
The Sound of God's Applause deals with one of the most basic of human needs: approval. Through insightful examples and biblical analysis, Dr. Hughes examines our need for approval and leads the reader to search for approval from God rather than others. The writing style makes it seem like a conversation between the author and the reader. You will find yourself underlining passages and ...

You're Born an Original, Don't Die a Copy4 reviews
John Mason
Insight Publishing Group, 1993
Excellent book
It's wise, it's great, it's complete and a very big boost for self-assurance!
Sad thing is seeing STUPID OBNOXIOUS Gorillaz fans who think the phrase from the title of this wonderful book is a quote from Murdoc Niccals. What a bunch of losers.
John Mason, congratulations for your brilliant work!!!

I liked this book called Loser. It was about this kid that never really fit in, and threw out his life from when he was a baby to 6th grade. The characters seemed a little more realistic then the other books i have read. I liked the plot, but i thought they could of done a better job with were it took place and a couple other things. I thought there were some parts that I couldnt wait to find out ...

Radical Self-Acceptance1 review
James M. McMahon
The Crossroad Publishing Company, Inc., 1999
All about individuation
I Needed to read this book. It is basically about the process of freeing yourself from your Mother to become your own person. I never realized the depth of the connection most of us have to Mother. The book makes a compelling argument on change and self-love. The appendix is a handy guide as well. This is not your typical self-help book. The answers are not obvious and they are rooted in ...

The Taboo Against Being Your Own Best Friend 1 review
Delta Group Florida, 1996
The Taboo Against Being Your Own Best Friend
This was a very odd book. I found it in my local library catalogue under the subject of assertiveness, however it was not at all what I expected. It was basically a 400-page rant about the "endemic"-a frequently used word by Dr James R. Fisher, Jr.-problems of modern society. A good portion of the book was written in italics as if the author was yelling at the reader. According to inside ...

Self-Esteem: The New Reformation 5 reviews
Robert Harold Schuller
W Pub Group, 1982
A Groundbreaking Manifesto
Again, I am always astonished by those who throw blanket critiques at Robert Schuller without actually reading the book. Unlike many of Schullers books that contain numerous testimonies, "Self Esteem-The New Reformation" outlines the heart of Schuller's possibility thinking, and boldly calls for a Gospel that heals the soul. The indictment on sin as interpreted by the church at large is a great ...

Posers, Fakers, and Wannabes: Unmasking the Real You (TH1NK)3 reviews
Brennan Manning, Jim Hancock
NavPress Publishing Group, 2003
Manning focuses on what's real, and what's an act.
If you have even a passing interest in Christianity, but struggle to know what to do with the often conflicting behaviors exhibited by many who claim to all be following the same basic belief system, then this book is an excellent look at what it could and should be. How is it that the message of the Gospel is often acted out on a stage for the benefit of our own ego? Brennan Manning has an ...
