Ron Hall, Denver Moore

Thomas Nelson, 2008

Profound
The stunning power of this true story to reveal truth and wisdom in the midst of humble means is profound. It is the power of God at work as seen in this testimony. The power of love and compassion that prevails over preset social structures is far reaching and intense as the story of wealth and homelessness become intermingled. I did not expect to find the might and pull in this book as I ...

Buddha Is as Buddha Does: The Ten Original Practices for Enlightened Living

9 reviews
Surya Das

HarperOne, 2008

Incredible - Don't Let the Title Discourage You
I saw the title and thought to myself, "Is Lama Surya Das, beloved author of Awakening the Buddha Within" writing a Recipe Card style personal development book cloaked in the Buddhist tradition? Argh!" Well - this is a book about personal development. It is a book that has a touch of that "recipe style" that American authors "eat up" - but in this case what is delivered to "the table" is so ...

A. J. Jacobs

Simon & Schuster, 2008

As a self proclaimed agnostic...
As a self proclaimed agnostic, I have no clue what led me to pick up this book in an airport. But I'm hooked, and I've probably learned more about the bible then some that are "religious". In a fun, nonthreatening, no fire and brimstone, low key way. I give kudos to Jacobs for taking on this task and a year out of his life, even just for a book deal...and sticking to it. I give more kudos to ...

The Art of Living: Vipassana Meditation: As Taught by S. N. Goenka

William Hart

HarperOne, 1987

An Insider's Take on THE ART OF LIVING & Why BEYOND THE BREATH is the Perfect Compliment
Except for the author, I bet I've read and reread The Art of Living more than anyone else alive. Here's why: Before learning the meditation technique taught by the Indian-Burmese meditation master S. N. Goenka, I'd practiced in other traditions for more than 15 years and completed many long meditation retreats. I only attended a Goenka course because the 10-day retreat was offered for free and ...

Shane Claiborne

Zondervan, 2006

Don't go by the reviews, read it for yourself
Yes, by my rating you can see that I love this book, however that's not what I intend to write about. I simply want to say that you should not rely on the reviews to form your opinion of this book. I have repeatedly recommended this book to my friends, Christian or not, and whether they liked it, or agreed with it etc, it made them think, it created dialog. For those reasons alone I ...

Beverly Hills Hypnosis, Trevor H Scott

Beverly Hills Therapy, 2006

This really works
Relax Your Way to Thin! Hypnosis Weight Loss MotivationI was very skeptical about trying this, but a friend of mine went to a hypotist and lost 40 lbs. I thought I would try it on CD as I had trouble "sticking to" a diet, but was too skeptical to invest the $200 my friend paid her hypnotist. The first week I actually lost 4lbs without conciously being aware of even dieting. I noticed I seem ...

Esther Drill, Heather Mcdonald, ...

Pocket, 1999

Wonderful, True Education
This book is what we should be giving to our daughters. In conservatively blinded America their is a guise saying that lying to our children and keeping them ignorant will save their souls. The truth is this, we are sexual creatures, sex is a gift, we should celebrate it, learn about it, and practice it as safely as possibly. For the mothers who thought this book was filth you put your children ...

Breaking into the Art World: How to Start Making a Living As an Artist

16 reviews
Brian Marshall White

Virtualbookworm.com Publishing, 2005

Know What to Expect
This book looks to have been self published by the artist. I really appreciate the fact that he seems to have written it purely to help other artists get started accomplishing their dreams. If you need help figuring out how to budget, how much to expect to spend, and different printing options, this book is for you. If you aren't as interested in the technical side of selling art as you are in ...

As It Is: The Open Secret to Living an Awakened Life

42 reviews
Tony Parsons

Inner Directions, 2000

The Most Direct
There are quite a few good books available now focused on enlightenment and based on a non-dual or advaitic perspective. But of all those I have read the ones by Tony Parsons are the most direct. His words point with the utmost clarity to what is beyond words, that is our ultimate identity. He advocates no path or process that would help one gain enlightenment even suggesting that the use of such ...

Jerry Sittser

Zondervan, 2004

Very much needed in today's culture
We live in an age where people are fascinated with the future. They can't get enough of what will happen tomorrow, where they'll live, who they'll marry. It's a culture of promised security, where we have confidence that in the days to come we will be significantly well-off, attractive, and liked. Anyone who can give an indication of how or what that future will look like is treated as a god, ...

If you live like an orphan when the King Himself is your Father, this book is for you. She helps the reader understand how we choose to live as rejected people, judged people, miserable people, complaining people, life's victims. She goes on to ...
