Lame Deer, Seeker of Visions (Enriched Classics) 19 reviews
Richard Erdoes, John (Fire) Lame Deer
Pocket, 1994
Be Careful
This oft insightful, oft hilarious, oft irreverant book is a great read. I read it first over Christmas, and now I'm reading it with many of my Navajo students. They love it for his erudition and frankness.
Especially comical is his chapter "Getting Drunk, Going to Jail." For many of the students, they were taken aback at the Holy Man's indiscretions, but Lame Deer makes clear that an ...

The Purpose Driven® Life: What on Earth Am I Here For? (Purpose Driven® Life, The) 1093 reviews
Rick Warren
Zondervan, 2007
Wonderful book
First let me say this is a great book I would recomend it to anyone. I read some of the 1 star reviews and was amazed how misinformed these nay sayers were. One person said that it taught that life is for us to fulfill our own perpose instead of living for God. What the book teachs is that serving God is our purpose. Another person said Rick Warren wrote this book just to make money, I guess he ...

The Shell Seekers87 reviews
Rosamunde Pilcher
Gramercy, 2004
One of the best books I have ever read
The Shell Seekers is one of the best books I have ever read. This novel is about the different generations of the Keeling family. It starts with Lawrence Stern who is Penelope Keeling's artist father and goes into the 1980's to Penelope's children Olivia, Noel, and Nancy. I really loved the character of Penelope Keeling- so loving, generous, and wise who is coming to terms with her life after a ...

The Seeker's Guide (previously published as The New American Spirituality)18 reviews
Elizabeth Lesser
Villard, 2000
Loved this book
Nicely written, personal and relevant for anyone "seeking" information on spirituality. It doesn't promise anything but makes a compelling case for meditation. Several tips for meditating are offered throughout the book and a variety of specific meditation practices are available to integrate into your life. I liked that the author understands that changing your daily routine to include ...

Seekers,The Quest Begins - Amazing & Captivating!
Seekers is an amazing and captivating book. My daughter found it to be a very heart warming and touching life journey story about the lives of three very different bear cubs,who struggle to survive in the wilderness alone. She could not tear away from reading the book even though she was sleepy! She just can't wait to read the sequel. The book was great!

The Wisdom of Yoga: A Seeker's Guide to Extraordinary Living19 reviews
Stephen Cope
Bantam, 2007
Making the Westerner's Connection
This is the book that tied it all together for me. After years of studying the Eastern books and trying to understand the deeper meaning of samadhi, Stephen Cope really brings it home for the Western mind. His ability to share real-life experiences of the Sutras from an American/Western standpoint rang all the bells for me. I have given this book as a gift to many others who just needed a ...

Wonderful
This book was a wonderful book. This book kept me on the edge of my seat because I wanted to know what would happen next. Zane is one of my favorite authors and she has a way of keeping her readers tuned into the book. I read this book in two days because I could not put it down.

The Mist-Filled Path: Celtic Wisdom for Exiles, Wanderers, and Seekers33 reviews
Frank MacEowen
New World Library, 2002
If God Had a Voice it would be Frank MacEowens.
And if I could have a dying wish, it would be to walk through the Mist with this magic man. His words reflect a wisdom transcending the lower mind and embracing a larger vision which most of this world has not seen for eons.
When a mans's words speak of compassion and gentleness, and embrace all of life, these are words expressing the greater vision of God itself....it can be nothing less than ...

The Seekers: The Story of Man's Continuing Quest to Understand His World31 reviews
Daniel J. Boorstin
Vintage, 1999
Seeking the Elusive Makes A Grand Hunt
Boorstin's third book of his trilogy follows a chronological format on man's search for the reasons of life. "We are all seekers," he writes. "We all want to know why." The book follows three grand epics of seeking. The first begins with Hebrew prophets and Greek philosophers. The former seeking from a higher authority, and the latter seeking from within. He moves on to the formation of communal ...

The Story of the Treasure Seekers: Complete and Unabridged (Puffin Classics)14 reviews
E. Nesbit
Puffin, 1996
A GREAT BOOK -- and a comment on the references
I find it odd that a book should be faulted because a reader doesn't understand all the references. For me as a child, puzzling out what phrases like "Let dogs delight" meant was fun -- even when I never did figure it out, or didn't figure it out until years later when I came upon the source. That was fun, too: to be reading something else or traveling in England and suddenly get the reference -- ...

Wishful Thinking: A Seeker's ABC15 reviews
Frederick Buechner
HarperOne, 1993
coloradopastor
Nobody can turn a phrase or dust off an old word or concept the way Buechner does. Time and again, the reader will find themselves smiling and saying, "I never thought of it that way before!" My original copy is well-worn and I have given this book to more people than I can count. This is Buechner at his best- and that's saying something.

The Truth Seeker (The O'Malley Series #3)37 reviews
Dee Henderson
Tyndale House Publishers, 2005
Enjoyable listening.
The Truth Seeker as CD audio book I received as a present. Due to ill health I now can't read very much for very long. For someone who has been a bookworm all her life this was very difficult, but audio books have come to my rescue. Mum listens to them while she is doing housework, and my sister has them on in the car during her 40 minute commute to work, & back.
Dee Henderson is a favourite ...

Seeker of Knowledge: The Man Who Deciphered Egyptian Hieroglyphs7 reviews
James Rumford
Houghton Mifflin, 2003
A Language of Many Senses
Remember the first books you read? How the puzzling out of the symbols was as exciting as the story? This evocative book by James Rumford revisits that experience. He interweaves text and images to let us know how meaning can be discovered. It's a little like reading a mystery story made up of pictographic clues. In structuring the story this way, Rumford is giving us the chance to do ...

The Book Your Church Doesn't Want You to Read92 reviews
Truth Seeker, 2001
This book should be read because it provides another point of view.
I was not aware of the existence of this book till I read The Rozabal Line and 101 Myths of the Bible. It seems to me that there is a great deal of material that indicates that Jesus may have been mythical, that the stories contained in Christian scriptures may have been based on Pagan traditions, that the virgin birth and resurrection were to be viewed as philosophical and spiritual events and ...
