Did Man Create God?: Is Your Spiritual Brain at Peace With Your Thinking Brain? 6 reviews
David E. Comings
Hope Pr, 2008
Did Man Create God? Is Your Spirtual Brain at Peace with Your Thinking Brain
As I move through the chapters, I can see that Dr. Comings has masterfully laid out his theme. The chapters feel like he is building a house. I especially found interesting the discussion on String Theory and Quantum Physics most interesting. He lays out to the reader with no previous knowledge on these theories, how they can go towards explaining how the universe could have come into being ...

Create Jewelry: Stones: Stunning Designs to Make and Wear (Create Jewelry series)2 reviews
Marlene Blessing, Jamie Hogsett
Interweave Press, 2008
Great Designs utilizing nature's beauty
This is not a beginners book on making jewelry, even though the basics are discussed in the back, but rather a focus on natural stones that are commonly used in today's jewelry designs. I have to admit I am biased due to my background in geology and my own designs using natural gemstones and even common stones. This book appealed to me for that reason but also in how the stones are discussed ...

Kids Create!: Art & Craft Experiences for 3- To 9-Year-Olds (Williamson Kids Can! Series)3 reviews
Laurie Carlson
Williamson Publishing Company, 1990
More than a kids' "busybook"
The craft instructions in this book are indeed easy, fun, cheap to do (etc) for kids. But the best part was the discussion in the back of the book on appropriate levels of creative projects for kids of different ages. It clearly outlined what attention span and dexterity level you should expect from kids of different ages. And it had useful advice for adults on how to make the project fun for ...

Strategy: Create and Implement the Best Strategy for Your Business3 reviews
Harvard Business School Press, 2005
Essential guide to implementing business strategy
Too many businesses fail to make the connection between strategy and implementation. Having great ideas is terrific, but they won't do you much good if you can't execute them. Years ago, Sam Walton may have suspected that high volume and low prices would lead to extraordinary retail success, but he understood that he would need a dependable system to deliver the goods. This practical manual ...

The Language Instinct: How the Mind Creates Language (P.S.)108 reviews
Steven Pinker
Harper Perennial Modern Classics, 2007
Great book
I found this book to be an interesting and informative read. While I am interested in linguistics (and thus was probably a bit more excited about the topic than the average person), I think this book would also be enjoyable for anyone. Pinker writes in an understandable manner, mostly avoiding linguistic jargon and always explaining complex topics in a generally understandable way.

To Build the Life You Want, Create the Work You Love: The Spiritual Dimension of Entrepreneuring7 reviews
Marsha Sinetar
St. Martin's Griffin, 1995
True vocation is a spiritual journey
This book has been one of the most valuable books I have read on the topic of creating meaningful work. Sinetar artfully illustrates how entrepeneurs find their true vocation in their own wholeness--work as a natural expression of their authentic selves. The catch is...this takes time. Time in reflection. Time in retreat. Time in honest evaluation of one's values and skills. Meaningful, ...
