Mindfulness in plain English109 reviews
Henepola Gunaratana
Wisdom Publications, 1994
One of the most profound and useful books ever written
How do you even begin to review a book that changed your life? Especially when you can count on one hand, the number of books that have done this. I came to this book during a hard time in my life, having it recommended to help me with dealing with a plague of traumatic experiences that had occured. I came away from this book a changed person; on a path or re-discovery of my spiritual self ...

Peace Is Every Step: The Path of Mindfulness in Everyday Life101 reviews
Thich Nhat Hanh
Random House, 1995
Best book to date...
I have read four books by Thich Nhat Hanh and this is the best one I've read yet, this is the best book on Buddhism I've read to date. Lots of great advice put in simple terms. All the other books I've read by this author I felt like he repeated himself much more than he needed, I'm sure to help with information retention, but I don't like it; still, he is truly a great writer. Many other books ...

do yourself a favor
I love this devotional and have used it for several years--you do not need the leather bound copy to be blessed but just soak in the wirds. I bought this for a gift.

Gift from the Sea: A Guided Journal (Bookbound, Wire-O, & Coptic Journals)127 reviews
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Peter Pauper Press, 2001
It changed my life
I read this book more than 50 years ago and it changed my life. I was desperately unhappy and it opened up for me a way to change. I found 'a room of my own' -- a career, or better still, a calling. It gave me the strength and determination to leave my unhappy marriage and to start life anew with, ultimately, a new partner, my husband now of almost 50 years.

Healing After Loss: Daily Meditations For Working Through Grief161 reviews
Martha W. Hickman
Harper Paperbacks, 1999
Worth it's salt
A dear friend actually gave me the first copy and after reading a few pages I bought five more to give to others in like situations. Most of the books about healing are well intentioned but not much help. "Healing after Loss" by Hickman is a wonderful thoughtful collection of philosophic paragraphs dealing with loss and healing. The author speaks from personal tragedy of her own and is gifted in ...

Streams in the Desert®100 reviews
Mrs. Charles E. Cowman
Zondervan, 1996
Excellent Devotional
After reading "My Utmost for His Highest" for several years, it was very difficult to find another devotional that would even begin to compare. However, "Streams in the Desert" was highly recommended in many reviews. I began reading this Jan.1 and I can say that while I have not read much of the book yet (as it is only Jan.9), I am well pleased and so far this devotional is loaded with ...

The Peace of Positive Energy
Thank you for Positive Energy! Have you ever attended a church sermon and felt like you were supposed to be in the house of the Lord that day? Did you ever feel that a certain sermon was written especially for you? Well, that is the feeling that engulfed me while reading Positive Energy. I have gained a great deal of knowledge from this book and I'm reading it a second time!

Banner of Truth, 1975
One of the best books I own!
I bought this book when I was a student at Emmaus Bible College. I spent ten dollars on it. (And for a college student, that's a nice chunk of change)...well, I can now say I would have spent waaaaay more on it! this book is well worth it. it is so beautiful, so poetic, and so thought provoking. i keep a pen by it on my nightstand so i can read one in the morning and at night and make notes and ...

Meditations on Violence: A Comparison of Martial Arts Training & Real World Violence67 reviews
Rory Miller
YMAA Publication Center, 2008
Trust not the Priests of Mars
Very well done...
The author is clearly an intelligent and intuitive (and humble) individual who understands himself and the way his world works, very well.
He espouses the position that we, as humans (as well as martial artists), should learn to question, to seek more knowledge, to train to discover what actually works, rather than just have blind faith in our (or our childrens) teachers.

In the introduction to Kitchen Table Wisdom, Remen tells how her male colleagues frequently knocked on her office door ...

Samuel Bagster
Marshall Pickering, 2000
Favorite Daily Devotional
This has been a favorite daily devotional for many years now. Since it is only scripture with no commentary it is perfect for meditative reading. Each morning and evening reading becomes an opportunity for further study and allows the Holy Spirit speak truth to your heart. I highly recommend this wonderful leather bound edition, it makes a perfect gift for any occasion.

fabulous
This book really helped me through a difficult time in my life. I read daily, and it was amazing how God used scripture to speak to my heart and guide my path. Reading this book daily helped me to ponder verses that I may not have stumbled upon on my own.

A Shepherd Looks at Psalm 2382 reviews
W. Phillip Keller
Zondervan, 2007
Faith
This is one of the most awesome books I have ever read (outside of the Bible). It has dramatically changed my view of how God looks at me and provides for me. It has given my faith a strength that I can not verbalize!
I finished reading this book the first time as I was going into the hospital to repair 2 "bubbles" inside my heart. I can honestly say I had no fear at all because I knew my ...

Grace For The Moment45 reviews
Max Lucado
Thomas Nelson, 2000
Truly inspirational
I just received this little book as a Christmas gift. I love the way Max Lucado has put it together with daily inspirations and Bible quotes. The beginning of the book is very precious.......it is a lovely book and as a gift book, beautiful....I set it by my bed and read it each and every night. As he says "Grace was created by God and given to man."
