Wonderful Book!
Listening for Lions, by Gloria Whelan was a great book! I only finished reading it. It held me for hours. This book is about Rachel Sheridan, whose parents work in Africa as missionary doctor and teacher. Rachel has grown up in Africa, and loves every bit of it. The people, the animals, the land, the sky, the weather. After her parents die from the sudden influenza that strikes Tumaini, where ...

Listening for the Heartbeat of God: A Celtic Spirituality

21 reviews
J. Philip Newell

Paulist Press, 1997

Restores to us the God who is love
The book is exactly what one needs, if the punitive and controlling factions of Christianity have driven one away. There is another way to know God: The generative and intimate God of the Celtic Church, who permeates all creation.

Critical Listening Skills for Audio Professionals

F. Alton Everest

Artistpro, 2006

Definetely, the book for improving your audio listening skills!
This book contains some clear and self explanatory audio exercises. I hate to acknowledge that most of the exercises could have already been performed by using a 'free' (computer) tone generator to explore the different frequency ranges. Beware, it will require time to learn to listen properly. I was very wrong to believe that by listening to the contents once, I was set. I would suggest to make ...

Listening and Caring Skills in Ministry: A Guide for Pastors, Counselors, and Small Groups

John S. Savage

Abingdon Press, 1996

Very helpful and practical for pastoral ministry!
I used this book while on Clinical Pastoral Education and serving as a chaplain in a hospital. It was VERY helpful in teaching me skills and techniques for active listening. So often, when having a conversation, my emotions and thoughts tend to guide and influence our talk, but this book helps one to listen not only to the words of the other, but to their feelings, and also to recognize the ...

Let Your Life Speak: Listening for the Voice of Vocation

Parker J. Palmer

Jossey-Bass, 1999

Priceless wisdom...
Books make great gifts. This is the one I give most often. I love Palmer's writing style and his message. As with his other books, Let Your Life Speak is well-organized and the concepts well developed. In this era, in this culture, there are countless forces that urge us to ask the wrong question-- What should I do with my life? That question and related ones are evidence of the distorting, ...

Mind hacks
This is a really great book. More novelty than improvement, but still great. If you're looking for something that will be useful as well as attention grabbing then look for the second edition; "Mind Performance Hacks"

Clear Speech Student's Book: Pronunciation and Listening Comprehension in American English, 3rd Edition

Judy B. Gilbert

Cambridge University Press, 2004

Improved my English.
"Clear Speech" is the best. First, I use the text book & CD at a college, and I brought the Class Audio CDS for self-study at home. You need it, because CDs coming with Student's or Teacher's books don't include all listening dialogs.

I find that I have a reduced urge to eat and when i do eat, i find that I choose more healthful options. I only lost a few pounds within the first week but who knows, it may get better.

Listening for the Soul: Pastoral Care and Spiritual Direction

3 reviews
Jean Stairs

Augsburg Fortress Publishers, 2000

Wonderful spirit and great connections
This book by Jean Stairs addresses a need in pastoral care and ministry - the attentiveness to the soul that so many people, ministers and laypersons alike, can find the love, support and care they seek in church and community. 'The world is crying out for the church to be more like the church,' Stairs states in her introduction, 'to represent the space and place where holiness, meaning, and God ...

Ear Training: A Technique for Listening

2 reviews
Bruce Benward, J. Timothy Kolosick

McGraw-Hill Higher Education, 2004

NOT awful
I hate to do this but "a musician" is very incorrect. If you read the first line of the information the publisher says this book is designed for "classroom use". I used this text in college and now use it to teach my Advanced Placement Music Theory Course. Without a teacher (or the teachers edition) the book is essentially a lot of music examples with the first note(s) written in. The point ...

Listening For God: A Ministers Journey Through Silence And Doubt

Renita J. Weems

Touchstone, 2000

Hope is what "Listening for God" offers...
As a writer and one who has an ongoing inner dialogue (often chaotic debate), this book arrived in my hands like an angel to the dying. For a number of years I've been 'on hold' regarding taking action on a number of projects, believing myself to be an imposter when I have so many questions and so much doubt. Ms Weems, in her honest sharing, has offered me a new perspective. With humor, ...

An answer to your prayers
For those of you praying for God to speak to you, this book will teach you how to listen so that you hear him. I return to it again and again. It is written in a way that is easy to understand, and it is full of scripture that will speak to you.

Lisa A. Goodman, Deborah Epstein

American Psychological Association (APA), 2007

A "Must Read" For Anyone Involved in Helping Battered Women!
This book proposes a radically new way of helping battered women: instead of requiring battered women to accept solutions that seem "right" to the experts but may not work for the women themselves, the women should be empowered to shape their own solutions. The book challenges advocates, prosecutors, and mental health workers to listen to battered women instead of dictating to them and to craft ...

The NPR Classical Music Companion: An Essential Guide for Enlightened Listening

Miles Hoffman

Mariner Books, 2005

Musical Training Wheels
This book is just what the doctor ordered for musical neophytes like myself who are looking for an accessible but authoritative crash course in basic musical terminology. If the difference between pizzicato and pianissimo continues to elude you, then read on. Two aspects of this book are particularly appealing. The first is Libbey's style, which is free-flowing and chatty, conveying often ...

I purchased this product as required for a Music Appreciation class. I was only one of two people who had required reading & CD's the first day of class. A HUGE variety of music from indian, percussion, to classics from the baroque period. An exceptional value.

If They're Laughing, They Just Might Be Listening: Ideas for Using Humor Effectively in the Classroom, Even ...

3 reviews
Elaine Lundberg, Cheryl Miller Thurston

Cottonwood Press, Inc., 2002

Excellent teacher resource!
"If they're Laughing..." was a great read for two main reasons. Firstly, in today's classrooms sometimes there is not a lot to laugh about. This book allows the teacher to find ways to laugh with the students everyday. I believe that students that laugh and enjoy school will work hard to get to school everyday. Secondly, even if you don't use these ideas in class, there are lots of funny ...
