The Second Coming of Christ: The Resurrection of the Christ Within You (2 Volume Set)43 reviews
Paramahansa Yogananda

Self-Realization Fellowship, 2008

The Second Coming of Christ
The book is one that is required reading for a class. It is a beautiful book. The print is not too small and is very easy to read. The pictures are exquisite. Of course, as one would expect, it is not fast reading as you have to go slowly in order to take in all the new concepts that are being presented. I have found that I stop a lot just to say "AMAZING". Reading this is a pleasure. It ...

W. Clement Stone

www.bnpublishing.com, 2007

Go to the core to get the truth!
When I was about 14 years old my dad a self made successful real estate broker in Inkster Michigan insisted I read this book. This book has been etched in my mind ever since. 43 years later, I've found an original copy of this book to give to my dad as a gift. That's how important this book is. If you do a you tube video search you can hear Stone in his own words give you the first 8 segments ...
  
  











  



  
Soul Without Shame16 reviews
Byron Brown

Shambhala, 1998

indespensible
Even after the first three weeks of elation that I experienced after reading the book and implementing the many skills I learned, and the subsequent return to the reality of my "inner judge" causing havoc in my life, I still find this to be the most powerful self-help book I haver ever read. I reference it constantly, to find language to support my soul and release myself from negative feelings ...
  
  











  



  
Sacred Mirrors: The Visionary Art of Alex Grey28 reviews
Alex Grey

Inner Traditions, 1990

Spectacular art and a tool for transformation.....

While this type of art may not be everyone's cup of tea, it is undeniably creative and powerful. This book is based on a series of paintings that are approximately 6'0" tall.

Strong on Defense: Survival Rules to Protect you and your Family from Crime35 reviews
Sanford Strong

Atria, 1996

Excellent
This is absolutely one of the best books on self defense that I have ever read. Sanford Strong has written an excellent primer on personal protection. As he says, this book is not about crime prevention; it is about crime survival. Much of the book has to do with the right mindset which is a critical element in surviving. Many people are seriously hurt or killed because of lack of mental ...

Norrie Epstein

Penguin (Non-Classics), 1994

The Lady Hath Written A Most Excellent Book, Methinks!!
+++++ This book's preface instructs, "Don't feel compelled to read this book from cover to cover" since it's meant for reading at a relaxed pace. Guess what? I DID read it from cover to cover!! Why did I do this? Here are my reasons: (1) THE AUTHOR'S WRITING STYLE. The author, Norrie Epstein, writes in a relaxed and leisurely but enthusiastic way making a somewhat difficult subject ...

Cries of The Spirit10 reviews

Beacon Press, 2000

Gratitude
Marilyn Sewell's work on "Cries of the Spirit" was more than worth the price and I have wanted to thank her over and over. A death in the family and I grab her book to find the right words, a marriage and there she is again, providing a womans point of view from a variety of woman that I have found extremely useful. No matter the occassion, a new baby in the family for instance, and flip of ...

Love Is A Decision24 reviews
Gary Smalley

Pocket, 1993

filled with blessed insights
What I as a man like most about this book is that Gary is humble enough to admit that he himself had to overcome the same typical male responses and insensitivity to women that nearly all men do. That makes me relieved that it's not just me, and gives me a lot of encouragement. Lee Liebner, author/singer of As You Go, an inspirational gift book/song-on-CD/scrapbook-journal for young people ...

Shad Helmstetter

Pocket, 1990

I was frustrated and depressed when I first picked up this book. I was jobless, flat broke, nearly homeless. "I can't do anything right. I should just quit. I should just kill myself." In fact, I was suicidal. With a little counselling and "The Self-Talk Solution" I was able to revolutionize my life. Dr. Helmstetter's book offers a practical method to change the patterns of your ...
  
  











  



  
Why Writers Are Cranky and Five Emergency Tools for Writing a Short Story10 reviews
Bruce Holland Rogers

Amazon, 2005

Helpful Hints Served With Chaos, Oxymorons, And Crankiness
Bruce Holland Rogers offers up a humorous, yet real world, assessment of the perils and pitfalls of writing, as well as insight into the worth of writing as a process. The first half of this Amazon Short deals with the general attitude of writers, specifically, why are they so cranky? His insight is keen and, I think, accurate. I believe the ability to re-read your previous work without the ...
  
  











  



  
Crow Boy (Picture Puffins)10 reviews
Taro Yashima

Puffin, 1976

A Must Read for Teachers
This story was first read to me by a colleague. A very enlightening and heartwarming story "Crow Boy" forces readers to reflect on the importance of considering individual differences within classroom settings. A child's potential can only be fulfilled when we consider all of their interests and needs. Every teacher must have a personal copy. I am going to get mine.

I was looking for Blessing, Light, and Conviction. I had to look no further for here were the answers. This book opened my eyes to Truths unknown. It showed me the path I had to follow. It told me of Spiritual Help that is always available, and how to change my karma.
  
  











  



  
Birdbaths and Paper Cranes: A Family Tale7 reviews
Sharon Randall

Gale Group, 2001

Beautifully written memoirs!
This book is a guarantee to make you reminisce and cry and laugh along with Sharon Randall as she writes of her life. It is beautifully written, short and direct ~~ always having her short stories end with a rememberable last line that leaves you thinking more. I found this languishing on my bookshelf after borrowing it from my mom last year. I needed something "lighter" to read after my spree ...
  
  











  



  
Agamemnon: 3 volumes8 reviews
Aeschylus

Oxford University Press, USA, 1950

Superb, if a bit dogmatic.
[Note: This edition is a text in ANCIENT GREEK with notes in English. It has no text in English if you are looking for one. There are many to recommend. The best translation of the Oresteia, of which this work is the first part, is in Tony Harrison's Collected Works; the worst, in my opinion at least, was written by Ted Hughes. All the rest are good.] This is a superb edition with one caveat. At ...
  
  











  



  
God Was in This Place and I, I Did Not Know: Finding Self, Spirituality and Ultimate Meaning7 reviews
Lawrence Kushner

Jewish Lights Publishing, 1991

Poetic and Intelligent
Kushner walks us through the exegetical vantage points of seven different rabbis, each looking at the same text. Jacob awakes from a dream about a ladder (Gen 28:16), and declares that he has experienced God. Kushner then poetically imagines the seven rabbis ascending and descending the ladder to teach us how to read the text. What results is a beautifully poetic look at the biblical text ...
  
  











  



  
Before the Mortgage8 reviews

Simon & Schuster Spotlight Entertainment, 2006

Best Anthology I've Read in a Long Time
I feel like I've been looking for this book ever since I graduated from college. Finally - short personal essays with true emotional heart and a real appreciation for how absurd life can be. I would recommend this book to everyone, especially recent college grads, though everyone will get get a kick out of it and be moved at the same time.
