Angus lost (Invitations to Story Time)

Marjorie Flack

Doubleday, 1966

Everyone is Curious
This is one of three books about Angus, the little Scottish Terrier. He is like many small boys or girls who do not want to stay safely at home, but want to take off and explore the world. Without being terribly scary this story illustrates that sometimes we are not ready to do what we think we are ready to do, and that there are good reasons for certain rules. Angus is very smart and ...

Great behind the scenes
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/RGOOLA3UHIV8J This book is more of a movie companion book than an artbook, although there's plenty of art to look at. The book's divided into 3 parts: Part 1 - Land of the Living Part 2 - Land of the Dead Part 3 - Going Upstairs, The Illustrated Story You know those behind the scenes videos from movie DVDs? This book is essentially that, ...

The Great House of God: An Invitation to Come in

Max Lucado

W PUBLISHING GROUP, 2001

great way to look at the Bible in a new light
Lucado takes the Lord's Prayer (our Father, who is in heaven...) and breaks it down into many little parts - giving each part a "room" in the "great house" of God. It shed new light on the Lord's Prayer and I haven't looked at it the same. Absolutely terrific writing. Classic Lucado - descriptive, prescriptive, and very emotionally connected to the reader. It is written in such a way that Max ...

Beautiful illustrations for such a sweet song
At 2 years old, my daughter has learned all the words to this song because of this book. She loves it! Her favorite page is "when the dog bites, when the bee stings, when I'm feeling sad". It captivates her attention for the whole song. It's a keeper!

Words from Silence: An Invitation to Spiritual Awakening

Leonard Jacobson

Atrium Publishers Group, 1993

Reading to sooth your mind
This author is very poetic and the many of the passages in this book are extremely inspiring. Just reading his writing in incredibly soothing. The author believes that there is a simple way to reach an awakened and enlightened state of mind. Though this sounds appealing to people in our modern fast food/fast everything/instant gratification culture, I feel that this may be a little too ...

Once I started reading this book, I could not put it down. The author does a wonderful job of creating suspense without adding gore. Although it carries the label of novel, it is based on a true story with extensive research, which shows. I highly recommend it.

Invitation to Sociology

Peter L. Berger

Viking Press, 1974

Inspiring Book
What an awe-inspiring book! Peter Berger presents a detailed description of what it means to study sociology, to be a sociologists, and how sociology can change the world. As an college student majoring in sociology, I found Berger's book to be phenomenal in its analysis of a world requiring sociological thought. After reading the book, I was once again reminded why I chose to study sociology in ...

Nicole Johnson

Thomas Nelson, 2001

A Warm Cup of Java for your Soul
As one of the immensely popular "Women of Faith" conference speakers, actress/author Johnson doesn't need my plug--but she gets it! Her writing is vunerable, deep, and funny. I especially liked her musings about savoring our sexuality (a topic often overlooked or avoided by the Church) and embracing our beauty. Each chapter also includes fun coffee trivia. (Side note: I led a Bible study on this ...

Thomas Keating

Continuum, 1994

Invitation to Deeper Prayer
INVITATION TO LOVE is the third of Father Keating's books to deal with Christian Comtemplation, centering prayer and developing a deeper understanding of our relationship to God. This type of prayer, unlike more active forms, enables us to "rest in God's presence" and can help us in our journey toward God. In this book, the author discusses the many false programs for happiness and levels of ...

Raphael Cushnir

Broadway, 2004

A Bridge Home
This is a simply wonderful book. If you are reading this, you have probably been "searching" awhile and have read more than your share of "self-help" books. This is NOT another self-help book. Also.... if you are reading this... you have probably heard of or read books by people like Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj or Sri Ramana Maharshi (along with more contemporary teachers of what could be considered ...

Give Me 40 Days: An Invitation for an Encounter with God

Freeda Bowers

Bridge-Logos Publishers, 2001

I can't do 40 minutes of prayer every day!
That was my first thought. I have been going to church since I was 5 years old but I never liked the repetitive nature of church services. This book taught me more about a personal relationship with God in 40 days than 45 years of of attending church services. I learned how to have honest conversations with God during my 40 days. I also learned to listen to God during prayer instead of just ...

Debra Rienstra

Jossey-Bass, 2005

So Much More and the Joyful Pursuit of Jesus
Debra Rienstra's book, So Much More, left me feeling drawn to Jesus, and drawn in by Jesus. Using startlingly crisp images and subtle humor, Rienstra deftly named longings within me, for connection to the divine, for perspective on suffering, and for intimacy with others. While avoiding 'quick fixes' in the search to satisfy those longings, Rienstra gently pointed me toward the mysteries at the ...

Invitations to a Bridge Burning

David Maizenberg

Agony Press, 2000

An Invitation to read great fiction
David Maizenberg's book is much more than a fine collection of short stories -- it's an unintentional treatise on what is wrong with the corporate book-publishing world. For every nonlinear leap and unpredictable twist of thought in these pages, there's a moment of genuine revelation. I don't want to call it spiritual, though it is. I don't want to call it redemptive, though I feel redeemed. I ...

Nouwen, Henri

Hovel Audio, 2007

One of Nouwen's Best
In this book, Nouwen writes that the key to living a spiritual life is by understanding the difference between being busy and being fulfilled. In our modern life, he writes, "There is always something else we should have remembered, done or said...Thus, although we are very busy, we also have a lingering feeling of never really fulfilling our obligations." The solution is not a change of ...

Writers Digest Books, 2009

Learn to Live (Not Just Write) A More Poetic Life
The first thing I noticed about Writing the Life Poetic when I opened up my package was the beautiful cover. Already, before even opening the book up to the first page, my senses were heightened by the brilliant designs and colors. When I ran my fingers over the cover of the book I was pleasantly surprised by the raised designs (especially on the back cover) and the raised text. Just holding the ...
