Baron Baptiste
Fireside, 2003
A great self-teaching guide
This book is an extremely well structured course in the fundamental poses that comprise the Vinyasa style of yoga. Whilst we use this book as a guide for beginners at my yoga club, it would suffice as a self teaching guide. Detailed descriptions of the key elements of poses, as well as risk factors to consider, act to encourage good form and can often correct mistakes of some more experienced ...

Warrick Dunn, Don Yaeger
HarperEntertainment, 2008
RICK "SHAQ" GOLDSTEIN SAYS: "WITH HOMAGE TO HIS MOTHER... WARRICK IS A TRUE ROLE MODEL!"
When the first page of the first chapter of a book takes the reader on a trip to *DEATH-ROW-AT-ANGOLA-STATE-PRISON-IN-LOUISIANA* you can be sure you're not at the beginning of a typical sports book! The author Warrick Dunn is assuredly a star football player in the NFL... and a former college All-American at Florida State University... and a first round draft choice of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers... ...

From personal experience, I can say that a cancer diagnosis, and the aftermath of treatments, out of control emotions, and fear, can leave us feeling VERY sorry for ourselves.

Jotham's Journey: A Storybook for Advent26 reviews
Arnold Ytreeide
Kregel Publications, 2008
Great story / devotional book for Advent
This was our family's best Advent yet! Occasionally "Jotham's Journey" was a bit too action-packed for our daughter (age 5), but she and our son (age 8) couldn't wait for each day's segment. Arnold Ytreeide is a master storyteller. His intricate blending of facts about biblical times into a fast-paced storyline captured our imaginations. We'll never look at Advent the same again. Our family ...

LIKE LIFE TO MY SPIRIT - AND I'M A WOMAN! A PHD IN PSYCH, EVEN
I've been going through an intensive Dark Night of the Soul, with God digging down into my heart to dredge up old wounds and expose them for healing through insight and/or submitting them to Him. Because this book is so clearly directed to men, I didn't expect to find much of use in it, but OH MY GOSH! It's THE best thing I've read during this very difficult time in my life! It is ministering ...

Spencer Wells
Random House Trade Paperbacks, 2004
the journey of man: a genetic odyssey
This book is not only interesting, but well written and based in hard science, with fresh information obtained first-hand by the writer. It is brief and easy to read for the general public. It would have helped having more graphics, maps or other type of information. I recommend it.

A guidebook for dealing with the inevitable final journeys.
Along with her first book, "Final Gifts", this latest work is required reading for anyone - and there are many, many of us out there - facing the issue of elder-care and the loss of a partner or loved one. There is a certain sensitivity in "Final Journeys" that is important and based on the author's years of work as a nurse in Hospice. Important book to read.

The only advice we needed on the logistics of travel
My wife and I used the first edition of this book to figure out the nuts and bolts of traveling around the world. It was absolutely invaluable. It gave excellent advice about what to pack (and what not to take) how to go about the planning process, and basics such as getting around, where to stay, etc. Throughout our 10 month long trip, I thought back on the book and appreciated the advice ...

A New Kind of Christian: A Tale of Two Friends on a Spiritual Journey153 reviews
Brian D. McLaren
Jossey-Bass, 2001
Jaded about Church? Here's an attitude shift.
An attitude shift of looking at how we do our Christianity, how we live it, and how it is expressed by us. There are some controversial points in the book however at it's core, it is calling us to be real and doesn't compromise the message of the Bible at all. It calls us to work with a new paradigm that runs at another level that the traditional church offering it's ministries to its ...

Invitation to a Journey: A Road Map for Spiritual Formation6 reviews
M. Robert Mulholland Jr.
InterVarsity Press, 1993
Excellent insights for spiritual formation
I think that Mulholland did an excellent job stating and formulating his ideas on growth and spiritual formation. I found the section, that utilized the pyschologist Carl Jung and the Meyers-Brigg's type indicator extremely facinating and useful. I am currently enrolled in a graduate level Leadership class that utilizes these type indicators. Mulholland identified many things that I am dealing ...

Amazing Guide to Lasting Recovery
I am a co-leader of a recovery small group through my church. We have been using this workbook for two and a half years, spending twelve months to go through it each time. An important aspect of this workbook is that it was written by several authors, so the words written in it is a result of a collaboration, instead of just one person's viewpoint. Also, the questions posed within are simple, ...

The Journey of Desire: Searching for the Life We've Only Dreamed of44 reviews
John Eldredge
Thomas Nelson, 2001
Discover Hope--the energizer of faith and love
I cannot state strongly enough how enthusiastically I recommend this book. I truly believe this message is a gift from the Lord, delivered through Eldredge. There is a reason that faith, hope, and love are the three cardinal virtues; yet Christians often seem to be tremendously lacking in hope. And for our faith and love to be what they should, they need the empowerment of hope.
The basic ...
