Probably The Best Available Guide For Spiritual Directors
By spiritual direction here is meant that central and often avoided part of pastoral counseling that deals not so much with people's many problems and struggles as with their experience of and personal relationship to God. It is a specialized and all important area that is easy to side step in normal counseling because of the relative ease with which other problems can be addressed and/or ...

William Knowlton Zinsser
Harper and Row, 1980
the definitive writing text
Whether you are an amateur or professional writer, this book is a must. If you buy only one book on writing, make it On Writing Well. It is a treasure trove. I learned something on every page, and I have been writing professionally for more than 25 years.
Holy Bible: From the Ancient Eastern Text: George M. Lamsa's Translation From the Aramaic of the Peshitta
37 reviews
George M. Lamsa
Harper & Row, 1985
Good Bible
Lamsa has given us a great Bible. The aramaic brings clarity to passages that either didn't make sense, or seemed to contradict other passages in the my KJV bible. This bible will never replace my Companion Bible of the KJV by E.W. Bullinger, but it's a tremendous resource, and an outstanding translation.

Insightful
Very insightful and thought provoking. Made me question many of my views and my perspective of other Christians.

Parenting (and Re-Parenting) 101
In what may be one of the best books ever on functional parenting, Mellody and the Millers have tackled the single most common psychiatric phenomenon of our time, deconstructed it into language most can grasp, and set forth a means of re-parenting those who didn't get the real deal the first time around. For mental health professionals, this may also be one of the best books available for ...
The First Four Years

Laura Ingalls Wilder
Harper & Row, 1971
Doesn't really fit with the other books...
Hesitant at tying her future to a farmer, Wilder agrees to allow her new husband three years to try. If he proves he can make them a decent living, she will consider their staying in that lifestyle. Thus this story of Wilder's early married years is born. In the first four years (for she allows Manly an extra to the original three) the couple sees weather disasters, serious illness, the birth ...
Amo, Amas, Amat and More (Hudson Group Books)

Eugene H. Ehrlich

Seize the day...
Eugene Ehrlich's 'Amo, Amas, Amat and More' is a wonderful shorthand guide to Latin literacy for those who are struggling with Latin, or those of us who had a lot of Latin but little use since our last conjugation, er, um, examination. Gives new meaning to 'conjugal visit' now, doesn't it? (Well, look it up for the distinctions.) There is a very interesting introduction by William F. ...
Evidence not seen: A woman's miraculous faith in a Japanese prison camp during WWII

Evidence Not Seen
This book has had a great impact on me. If you are interested in knowing what it means to truly trust God, in spite of personal loss, read this. Darlene Diebler Rose has greatly encouraged me as a Christian. Sometimes Christians are asked to endure great suffering and often without an explanation as to why the suffering is being allowed by a loving Father. She was willing to surrender ...

William Manchester
Harper & Row,, 1967
A Valuable Resource To The True Facts Of November 22, 1963
Anyone interested in the intricate (and factual) details surrounding the assassination of President John F. Kennedy needs to read William Manchester's "The Death Of A President". This book takes the reader on a painstaking (and often gut-wrenching) journey, encompassing six days in the autumn of 1963 (November 20-25), with an incredible amount of facts and rarely-revealed tidbits of ...

Addiction and Grace
This is a spiritual look into the world of addiction. Religious matters do come into play. Good book for research or group discussion in church settings. Good insight into the struggle many suffer from and good for methods of self help.

Stuart's a Winner!
Stuart Little is a little mouse who was born to a family in New York City. While he is a mouse, no one takes it against him personally. He is quite a nice chap too. Stuart is a daring young man who is very willing to travel a long way to find his friend - a bird. What a nice guy he is and what a pleasure to read this book!
The Secret Life of Plants

Biology 101 for the 21st Century
This book should be part of every Biology class in school nowadays. Quantum Physics has proven that every particle has consciousness, so why should it be so hard to believe that plants are capable of feelings and thought? Even close to 20 years after it was published, the book is still in a class by itself. I especially liked the section on how plants responded to different music genres, ...
