Entering Space: Creating a Spacefaring Civilization

39 reviews
Robert Zubrin

Tarcher, 2000

A detailed technical manifesto
If you're like me, you've always felt that it would be pretty cool (and useful) to be able to travel through space like we currently jet around the globe. If that's the case, then you've probably also ran up against a huge wall of "who cares?" whenever you try to express your excitement about the possibilities inherent in space travel. This cogent, well-researched book will help you do two ...

Entering the Circle: Ancient Secrets of Siberian Wisdom Discovered by a Russian Psychiatrist

30 reviews
Olga Kharitidi

HarperOne, 1997

Lifting
As I read through this book I found it to be a lifting experience. Olga is a very talented writer and I was swept away by her story. I almost felt like I took her journey with her. This is a very eye-opening experience. To see a medical doctor, going through something that she could not believe herself, and becoming a true shaman was a thrill. I learned a lot about shamans, Siberian wisdom ...

Entering the Stream: An Introduction to the Buddha and His Teachings

6 reviews
Samuel Bercholz, Sherab Chödzin Kohn

Shambhala, 1993

Come on in, the water's fine!
This is an excellent introduction and intermediate level book on Buddhism. How can it be both? As an introduction, one would read each chapter through to gain an initial impression of the various key teachings and tenets of Buddhism. As one reads the book for the second or third time, one learns more and sees interconnectedness among topics, chapters, and ideas. Just as the teachers would have ...

Entering Hades: The Double Life of a Serial Killer

16 reviews
John Leake

Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2007

A powerful story, well told and impossible to put down
Reading this horrifying account of the life of mass murderer Jack Unterweger, reminded me of the parole and subsequent incarceration of Jack Henry Abbott. You may recall that author Norman Mailer championed Abbott's cause and was instrumental in helping the convict gain freedom. The day before his book, In the Belly of the Beast, was reviewed in the NY Times, Abbott stabbed a waiter to death in ...

Entering the Castle: Exploring Your Mystical Experience of God: 9-CD Live Lecture!

46 reviews
Caroline Myss

Hay House, 2007

One of her best!
I have only words of gratitude and praise for this particular work of Caroline Myss. Having read her books and listened to many of her other audio lectures over the years, for me this was the most powerful, honest, and uplifting. I did not find any part of this lecture to be "harsh" or "shrill" (as some have commented) -- but instead found her to be at her most passionate. Love radiates from this ...

Mystics without monasteries
Carolyn Myss inspires when she shares her journey from the truth of her heart. The first chapters of the book were awesome and captivating. The remainder consists of excerises - good for the novice.

Entering the Castle: An Inner Path to God and Your Soul

Caroline Myss

Free Press, 2007

Wonderful Book
So many books and programs of this type turn out to be fluff. Not so with Entering The Castle. This is for serious seekers only. If you really think about the questions and challenges posed, you are taken on a trip into your own psyche and soul that is illuminating. I'm not finished the book and don't expect to be for some time to come, which is the point. Go through it slowly, paying attention, ...

Grace's Window: Entering the Seasons of Prayer

3 reviews
Suzanne E. Guthrie

Morehouse Publishing, 2008

Compelling stories by a passionate pray-er
"Grace's Window" tells the story of an active, vibrant faith. Guthrie's relationship with God is intimate, personal, and intense. Her 40 meditations on prayer are strikingly honest and compelling. Prayer isn't always easy for her, nor is life; God is a Divine Mystery with whom she interacts passionately. As the stories (meditations) progress, we see her faith tested and growing. A ...

The works of Derek Prince are wonder. He was a great scholar and truly cared about his audience.

Entering Jewish Prayer: A Guide to Personal Devotion and the Worship Service

5 reviews
Reuven Hammer

Schocken, 1995

A good book for understanding Jewish worship and theology
This is much more than a "how-to" guide; Rabbi Hammer here deals with the basic issues in prayer, the historical compilation of the Siddur, and the orchestration of the daily, Sabbath, and festival prayers. The themes of special prayers, such as the Blessing After Meals and the Kaddish are explained lucidly. This book makes one aware of the essential experience of making prayer a vital part of ...

good instruction from a Jeet Kune Do ORIGINAL student
I think this is a good book Mr. Hartsell conveys his points in this book very well, i have been studying JKD and Kali extensively.

Grappling is a ...

2 reviews
Gillian T. W. Ahlgren

Paulist Press, 2005

If you like Teresa, you'll LOVE this book!
This book is truly a wonderful guide to the world of Teresa of Avila. Gillian Ahlgren writes in a very readable style and becomes a delightful companion to your exploration of the Interior Castle. Her keen insights and thorough knowledge of Teresa and of her theology are very illuminating. I find that Ahlgren clarifies connections toward which I was only groping. This is one book that I would ...

Nine Gates: Entering the Mind of Poetry

17 reviews
Jane Hirshfield

Harper Perennial, 1998

One of the kindest books to reread...
...sometimes we need a personal classic to draw comfort from. This past year when both grandmothers passed away, the soft voice of poetic comparison helped ease the heart. In my small opinion, this is an inspired and gentle voice to turn to and read. And also reread. I hope you also enjoy this reading experience.
