Spiritual Literacy: Reading the Sacred in Everyday Life18 reviews
Frederic Brussat, Mary Ann Brussat

Scribner, 1998

Spiritual Literacy: Reading the Sacred in Everyday Life
This is an amazing book. I've given three away and finally decided I had to own one myself. I learned of the book on the show New Morning on the Hallmark Channel. The show would often include quotes which were credited to this book. I found myself often jotting down the quotes and finally decided that owning the book might be the way to go. It is written in a way that you can read even a ...

Six Ideas That Shaped Physics: Unit T : Some Processes Are Irreversible1 review
Thomas A. Moore

William C Brown Pub, 1999

A Fantastic University Series
I took New York State Regents physics in 11th grade back in high school. I've always had a skill for math, but after taking Regents physics all I thought was, "Meh, that was fun." When I got to college I decided to give physics another go, and since I had some advanced math experience, I chose a course called University Physics (which is calculus based, over the strictly algebra based "College ... 		  
  







  
  
The Buddha and the Terrorist9 reviews
Satish Kumar

Algonquin Books, 2006

Excellent Buddhist "Bible" Story
This spiritual story is taught many ways in many publications, but it speaks with greater authority because it does not condemn anyone. 		  
  







  
  
The Rule of Saint Benedict12 reviews
St. Benedict

Vintage, 1998

Listening for the spirit...
The Rule of St. Benedict is a fairly short book, usually printed in fewer than 100 pages, with its 73 chapters of a few paragraphs in length at most. Here the entirety of the Rule is contained in 70 pages. It is a good example of the statement, 'good things come in small packages'. This particular volume comes from the Vintage Spiritual Classics series, and there is no doubt that the Rule of ... 		  
  







  
  
Principia Ethica8 reviews
G. E. Moore

Cambridge University Press, 1993

A Seminal Text in Twentieth-Century Philosophy
Moore's Principia Ethica is a central text in twentieth-century meta-ethics. According to the familiar history of the subject, the story of much of twentieth-century meta-ethics can be understood as a series of reactions to this book. In this book Moore argues for non-naturalistic intuitionism. He argues that moral properties are an irreducible part of reality, and that they are sui generis. ... 		  
  







  
  
The Prophet261 reviews
Kahlil Gibran

Penguin Books, 1999

Fabulous writing
The Prophet is a very thought-provoking and inspiring book. I purchased it after reading a few pages from a copy that my sister-in-law had, and I knew I had to have my own. An excellent collection of short stories and poems. 		  
  







  
  
The DASH Diet for Hypertension18 reviews
Thomas Moore, Njeri Karanja, ...

Free Press, 2001

The DASH diet a real miracle for me!
Well, mine was one of those very very very difficult cases for physicians. In fact in my family has been a tradition of very high blood pressures. I have been sort of a buddhist meditator for years in the aim to help my high blood pressure, and I look in Taoism to see if I could find any help for it. Almost three or four weeks ago I received my manual to lower my blood pressure in 14 days. The ... 		  
  







  
  
The Healing Runes23 reviews
Ralph H. Blum, Susan Loughan

St. Martin's Press, 1995

The Healing Runes by Ralph Blum
Having utilized Mr. Blum's Book of Runes for quite some time, I was delighted to discover this companion book. I find each time I pull a rune that it tells me just what I need to know and feel the truth and consistency in his interpretations. Now I can pull one rune to both give me the information I need for the day plus provide a healing message. Very insightful. 		  
  







  
  
Care of the Soul : A Guide for Cultivating Depth and Sacredness in Everyday Life66 reviews
Thomas Moore

Harper Paperbacks, 1994

Nonfiction for the literary lover
Being a student of classical literature, I have very rarely found nonfiction that can speak in the same language to which I am accustomed. This book is deeply profound and challenging--perhaps the most evocative approach to psychology I have ever encountered. It is especially helpful to those who enjoy literature. It is artistic and aesthetic, yet still very, very helpful for practical use and ... 		  
  







  
  
Words of Common Sense for Mind, Body, and Soul2 reviews
David Steindl-Rast

Templeton Foundation Press, 2002

An outstanding book
Though small in size, 91 pages, this is another outstanding, thought provoking book from who I consider one of the leading spiritual figures of our time. Brother David has opened my eyes to a new way of seeing the Holy Spirit alive in my life and the world as an experiental reality 24 hours a day. The implications of this can be life changing. His suggestion to substitute "Common Sense" for ... 		  
  







  
  
Stalking the Soul: Emotional Abuse and the Erosion of Identity25 reviews
Marie-France Hirigoyen, Helen Marx, ...

Helen Marx Books, 2000

Stalking the Soul
Before reading Stalking the Soul, I read two other books on emotional abuse (No Visible Wounds by Miller, and Why Does He Do That? by Bancroft). Each book is a jewel, a long drink of water in a dry parch of land. My favorite part of this book is that it has gifted me with a visceral understanding of what was going on during all those years of so-called "conversations" between abuser and victim. ... 		  
  







  
  
A Life at Work: The Joy of Discovering What You Were Born to Do10 reviews
Thomas Moore

Broadway, 2008

A six star opinion, a five star rating.
Thomas Moore teaches from a place of experience, knowledge, in depth study, and vunerability. Soul and heart are often missing in people's chosen career paths in today's business climate. A focus on inner work (removing the log from my eye, instead of focusing on the splinter in other's eyes) is required to awaken and implement the profound ideas in this 6 star book. If we don't connect ... 		  
  







  
  
Soul of Sex: Cultivating Life as an Act of Love12 reviews
Thomas Moore

HarperAudio, 1998

Rich Exploration of the Senses
Spiritual writers have always assumed we're trying to get to some loftier plane than this one, where there's lots of love but no sensuality. A sort of endless group hug, perhaps. Without entwining sex with its sentimental partner, love, this book examines the deeper meaning and life-affirming need behind our fascination with sex. Thomas Moore isn't the easiest writer to understand, I find I have ... 		  
  







  
  
Original Self: Living with Paradox and Originality9 reviews
Thomas Moore

Harper Perennial, 2001

Original Self
Upon leaving Australia to move to the U.S.A., I weapt when I packed away my extensive library into heavy wooden crates,in an attempt to protect their wisdom, until I could return one day. I only had room to stash a few precious books into my suitcases which were to transport me safely until I arrived at a place where I was ready to rebuild a new library in the new homeland. Thomas Moore's books ...

The Way of the Small: Why Less Is More5 reviews
Michael Gellert

Nicolas-Hays, 2007

Satisfying, challenging, and a contribution.
I read this book slowly and thoughtfully. Addressing the contemporary challenges of our fast-paced consumerist society and hunger for meaning, Jungian Analyst Michael Gellert has put together a work that is inspiring and comprhensive. There are not easy answers here; this is not a book of pop psychology or easy religion. Rather, a thoughtful challenge to come back to ourselves, connect to what ...

Thomas A Moore

McGraw-Hill Science/Engineering/Math, 2002

Very Good Book
This is a very good intro to special relativity. The author uses spacetime diagrams very skillfuly and explains even confusing topics very clearly. Overall, a very good book. 		  
  







  
  
No Greater Love18 reviews
Mother Teresa

New World Library, 2002

Inspiring
This book is pure inspiration. You realize how selfish the world is after reading this humble book. Mother Teresa is often in my thoughts now. And for that reason, this book is priceless. 		  
  







  
  
Dark Nights of the Soul17 reviews
Thomas Moore

Gotham, 2005

Excellent book, it is helping me with depression
I am someone who has had depression off and on for many years. As a spiritually oriented person, I tend to regard my depression in terms of one of my crosses to bear in life and to work with it,rather than fight it. But, sometimes I get upset with my tendency to be depressive and try to fix it and be done with it. I don't give the depression a voice or honor it. I just live with it most of the ...
