The Voice of Knowledge: A Practical Guide to Inner Peace40 reviews
Don Miguel Ruiz, Janet Mills
Amber-Allen Publishing, 2004
A VITAL RESOURCE FOR THOSE WHO ADVISE OTHERS!
I have read and enjoyed previous work of Don Miguel Ruiz, The Four Agreements, The Four Agreements Companion Book, and The Mastery of Love. This last book I've probably liked better than the other ones. I'm not sure why. Maybe it's because it's a lesser known book or that it was a bit less mystical than the other ones.
In any event, I found The Voice of Knowledge to be a very insightful piece ...

Atheist Universe: The Thinking Person's Answer to Christian Fundamentalism206 reviews
David Mills
Ulysses Press, 2006
Exceeded all of my expectations...
I've been questioning relgion for quite some time, but never really labeled myself as an atheist. This book is intended as a specific rebuttal to the creative design 'science' promoted by religiously influenced schools. Not only does it wonderfully refute creative design with solid scientific arguements, it also points out many contradictions within the bible on various topics.

Jana Kohl
Fireside, 2008
Amazing!
This book sucked me right in. I am so happy someone has finally stepped up to the plate about puppy mills. Jana Kohl did an amazing job telling people the truth about puppy mills and pleaded with anyone getting a dog to save one and NOT to buy from a store or from a breeder. Although there are responsible breeders many are not and she asks people to become aware and to ask questions, visit and ...
