My Journey in Mystic China: Old Pu's Travel Diary

3 reviews
John Blofeld

Inner Traditions, 2008

A memorable journey
John Blofeld's account of his travels in China during the 1930's & 40's are translated for the first time and it is a cause for celebration for all Sinophiles. His words are a visual canvas of pastels and rich colors, smells, and tastes of a China no longer to be seen. Blofeld comes across as a gentle loving soul that if one were to accept reincarnation as a fact, then this British born man was ...

Daniel Reid

Shambhala, 1996

Excellent overview of concepts of ChMed
As a third year student/intern of Chinese Med., I have found it difficult to convey to my patients the basic concepts and approaches used in ChMed., often due to our 'western' habits of analysis. This book is a bridge of understanding, and I plan to offer it to all of my patients.

Dictionary of Biblical Imagery

16 reviews

InterVarsity Press, 1998

Excellent Reference
The Dictionary of Biblical Imagery is an excellent reference for obtaining expanded meanings of the different words and images of the Bible. And even if it's a "dictionary", it is an enjoyable read straight through or even just when you want to hop from one entry to another. And for the price, it's a steal. Highly recommended!

Daniel Reid

Shambhala, 1994

Start Here For Understanding and Detail
There are thousands of books published about Chinese Medicine,but none come close to this one for readability, enjoyment, clarity,and detail. While I don't agree with every single interpretation that Reid makes, I find that I am constantly referring my patients and students to this book. It is a great place to begin your exploration of Chinese Medicine in its broadest scope. Reid writes ...

4 reviews
Daniel Reid

Shambhala, 2000

Excellent and responsible introduction to chi gung.
I was introduced to the practice of chi gung through the writings of Daniel Reid--this book and another on traditional Chinese medicine. The descriptions of the exercises are the best of any of the books I have read since (about 8), and the practice routine he includes is extremely well-structured and beneficial. I have been doing this routine daily for about 6 months, and have enjoyed numerous ...

Daniel Reid

Shambhala, 1995

Highly recommended home reference on Chinese herbs
Don't let the small size of this book (328 pages in a paperback format) fool you; this book is absolutely packed with information on the healing herbs used in TCM --traditional Chinese medicine. Author Reid has written a number of books on TCM. This herbal reference is well-written because it includes: the common Western name of the herb, the Latin name, the romanized Chinese name and the name in ...

God Is a Warrior

Tremper Longman III, Daniel G. Reid

Zondervan, 1995

God at War
Many Christians today might be surprised by the title of this scholarly monograph. It certainly doesn't sound devotional or inspirational, yet this topic is vital to a correct understanding of God and His redemptive plan in history. As Moses sang after God delivered Israel from the hands of the Egyptian army: the LORD is a warrior (Exodus 15). The authors go through both the Old and New ...

InterVarsity Press, 1993

Excellent Reference for Modern Pauline Scholarship.
`The Dictionary of Paul and His Letters' is a superb reference source if your primary objective is the study of Paul's writings. As a one-volume source, unlike, for example, the six volume Anchor Bible Dictionary, it is a far less expensive reference of all Pauline issues on your desk. For most people, the very best aspect of the volume is its dedication to contemporary scholarship. This focus ...

During the past two years I have been practicing body energy work using the Pranic techniques and found my body, my mind and my spirit responding with relish.
