Therapist as Life Coach
I had been working as a psychotherapist for years and really loved my work. Yet, I wanted to be able to work with patients beyond just helping them move from dysfunctional to functional. I picked up "Therapist as Life Coach" and couldn't put it down! As I thumb through it to write this review I realize I highlighted nearly the entire book! This book opened up a whole new world to me.

Virginia at War, 1863 (Virginia at War)

University Press of Kentucky, 2008

Between the epic battles of 1862 and the grueling and violent military campaigns that would follow, the year 1863 was oddly quiet for the Confederate state of Virginia. Only one major battle was fought on its soil, at Chancellorsville, and the conflict was one of the Army of Northern Virginia?s greatest victories. Yet the pressures of the Civil War turned the daily lives of Virginians?young and old, men and women, civilians and soldiers?into ...

Virginia at War, 1862 (Virginia at War)

University Press of Kentucky, 2007

Virginia emerged from the year 1861 in much the same state of uncertainty and confusion as the rest of the Confederacy. While the North was known to be rebuilding its army, no one could be sure if the northern people and government were willing to continue the war. Virginians' expectations for the coming year did not prepare them for what was about to happen, for in 1862 the war became earnest and real, and the Old Dominion became then and ...

An illustrated guide on the needs of the Civil War soldier
From the title of "The Civil War Reenactors' Encyclopedia" I was expecting a slightly different book from William C. Davis. Having attended a couple of Civil War reenactments in Illinois as a spectator as well as having seen what happens when you get together thousands of such people in movies like "Gettysburg," I was certainly expecting to find information on what a reenactor would need to have ...

Faith In The Fight: Civil War Chaplains

Stackpole Books, 2008

For both Union and Confederate soldiers, religion was the greatest sustainer of morale in the Civil War, and faith was a refuge in a great time of need. Guarding and guiding the spiritual well-being of the fighters, army chaplains were a voice of hope and reason in an otherwise chaotic military existence. Here for the first time, encompassing the depth and breadth of their dedication and sacrifice, is their fascinating and uplifting story.
