The Reader On the CD Version Does a Wonderful Job!!
This is such an interesting and fascinating book to listen to. I listened with baited breath. I just might want to read the book myself as well. Lily the main character is so lovable as are all the characters that are brought vividly to life. I so enjoyed the dialogue and the historical references from the 60's. I especially loved the implication of the Black Madonna. Lily's search for who ...

The Dance of the Dissident Daughter: A Woman's Journey from Christian Tradition to the Sacred Feminine (Plus)

Sue Monk Kidd

HarperOne, 2007

A voice from the wilderness
Sue Monk Kidd's journey resonates for me as I have long struggled with the way we tend to ignore or excuse the masculine priority that surrounds women's lives. Ms. Monk explores and ennunciates the "stacked deck" of everything from language and religion to the ingrained assumptions of women's secondary status in the world. True the balance has shifted somewhat, but as long as there are places ...

"Sic transit mundus"
Comparing the United States to the Roman Empire seems to be a fashionable thing to do lately. And the argument is certainly not without merit. As the only superpower left its natural to make judgments based on the worlds great empires and to ask if we are making the same mistakes that caused their downfalls. The real question, of course, is whether we can learn from history in order to avoid ...

The Monks of New Skete

Little, Brown and Company, 2002

Excellent book!!!
This is a revised addition of a wonderful book that has been around for a long time. The Monks are very impressive with their knowledge of dogs, their behavior and body language. The book teaches how to recognize the body language and how to correct unwanted behaviors. Their corrections are very quick and non abusive. They stress the necessity of being the pack leader but not in an overly ...

Little, Brown and Company, 1991

Excellent Guide!
I brought home an 8 week old shih tzu and used the recommendation to tether him in my room and provide a blanket for him to sleep on. After only 3 nights he was sleeping all night long and when he needs to go out in the morning he barks once. It is amazing how well this worked. I have read numerous puppy books and this one far exceeds any of the books. The focus is on understanding your new best ...

Acedia & Me: A Marriage, Monks, and a Writer's Life

Kathleen Norris

Riverhead Hardcover, 2008

Elegant, inspiring, and helpful reflections
This is a really stunning book, poised on the boundary between psychology and religion. What to do about that stuporous state of motionless that is not quite severe depression but is also more than just a temporary sadness or bad mood? It seems to be a problem that afflicts writers in particular, and Norris writes eloquently about it. I felt like she described what therapists have described as ...

Sue Monk Kidd

Penguin Group (USA) Inc., 2006

Great read that makes you think
This is a great book. 5 stars. It makes you look inside yourself and think about your life's goals, destiny, the destination where your life's flow is taking you, are you on a right track, are you in charge of your own life, what makes you happy and unhappy, mother-daughter relationship, etc. The ending is a positive one, it gives hope, but at the same time it's not a typical Hollywood-style ...

Hyperion, 2007

Great Training for Dogs and their Humans
I was having sushi with a good friend and we were discussing pets and the difference between dogs and cats. Being a cat lover from the time I can remember I was not too interested in hearing about dogs, who I perceived as basically big dirty dumb animals. My friend had a different take; she said, "cats are nature's serial killers, but dogs were put here to teach us how to love." When my ...

Brew Like a Monk: Trappist, Abbey, and Strong Belgian Ales and How to Brew Them

Brewers Publications, 2005

A Conversation around the Fire
Imagine that you-an experienced homebrewer-got to gather around a fire with some folks who had years of experience brewing versions of your favorite beer style. It would be hard to have a bad time, harder still not to come away a better brewer for it. This friendly, if somewhat disorderly book is just that conversation. I love the complexity and depth of belgian strong beers. Occasionally, by ...

New Seeds of Contemplation

45 reviews
Thomas Merton

New Directions, 2007

"To hope is to risk frustration. So make up your mind in advance to risk frustration."
Thomas Merton's "New Seeds of Contemplation" is nothing short of life-changing: the complexity of his relationship with the interior life and titanic inward spirituality makes this the kind of book you will refer to for your entire life and may never understand it fully even then (I don't, and have read it twice now). For all that, you will still enjoy and admire the man. Just about ...

Mr. Monk Goes to Germany (Monk)

Lee Goldberg

NAL Hardcover, 2008

Was unsure
A huge fan of the Monk series, I was afraid the book would ruin the TV experience for me. As long as you are up to date on Monk, reading any of these books will not ruin the show, however if you have not seen Monk, or at least the first few seasons, it may cause some confusion or spoil some upcoming shows. I found myself laughing out loud at typical Monk antics, even late at night while ...
