Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything Across Italy, India and Indonesia 1504 reviews
Elizabeth Gilbert
Penguin (Non-Classics), 2007
Memoirs of traveling
Elizabeth Gilbert is a phenomenal author. She can talk about very mundane things and somehow they sound interesting. That is pretty much this book in a nutshell. Typically the person who's traveled is much more interested in their stories than the people listening. Especially when you name-drop cities no one else has been to. It takes a skilled storyteller to describe unknown places and make us ...

The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment876 reviews
Eckhart Tolle
New World Library, 2004
The Power of Now
How much of your day is actually spent completely focused in the here and now? When you are working, how often do you find your mind wandering? How much of your time is spent thinking about what you are going to do next weekend or wishing you'd handled a particular situation differently?
The majority of us spend most of our life fixated on the past or worrying about the future. The present is ...

The Alchemist1228 reviews
Paulo Coelho
HarperCollins, 2006
your journey begins here
As a rule, I'm not into self help books. I'm especially not into them when they are disguised as novels, but Coelho's books are different somehow. He comes from such a sincere place, and his prose never comes across as preachy. This is spirituality in its purest form. SIMPLICITY. This book is not beyong anyon'es grasp and allows the reader--any reader a chance at spiritual enlightenment. ...

Into the Wild1163 reviews
Jon Krakauer
Anchor, 2007
Highly Recommend
I read "Into the Wild" after watching the movie, which I don't regret doing. I thought the movie was pretty good but was surprised too find that I could not stop thinking about Chris McCandless and the people he that impacted. So I picked up a copy of the book.
I have read several negative reviews about this book, complaining about Jon Krakauer glorifies an ignorant young man who died as a ...

You Can Heal Your Life (Gift Edition)246 reviews
Louise Hay
Hay House, 1999
Entry level emotional healing and core spiritual beliefs.
This is a gorgeous book, and it makes a fantastic gift! It makes a great introduction to ease one into spiritual avenues and mind/body/spirit healing aspects without all of the new-age nonsense.
Anyone on the advanced spiritual level will find this book trivial except for the emotional healing affirmations in the rear of the book. Those are priceless to have around the home, and their ...

Eckhart Tolle
New World Library, 2003
It re -afirmed me of what my gut sense already knew.
This is not a book for self help.You have to know already how to to care for your own well being,and be fearless enough to challenge your own ideas.I recommended this book to a friend,and she interpreted it very differently,and got very afraid.
Personally,I am glad the author wrote it,it re-affirms certain hunches I have been feeling in my own life's directions.No answers in this book,just how ...

Crazy Sexy Cancer Tips41 reviews
Kris Carr
skirt!, 2007
Sheer perfection!!!
I read CRAZY SEXY CANCER TIPS cover to cover on a a flight from LA to NY. I laughed out loud, wept quietly, and most of all, marveled at the magic that is Kris Carr. If Deepak Chopra, "What To Expect When You're Expecting," and Sex and the City had a love child, it would look just like Kris' CRAZY SEXY CANCER TIPS. It is sheer perfection for cancer "cowgirls" and their loved ones--colorful, ...

Great study book for a group
My husband and I used this book to do an almost year long study with our house church group a few years ago. We did a chapter a week and had discussions and worked through the Points to Ponder and Questions together. Probably time to revisit this book I think! Definitely one you can do over and over again

Put down the other books, cancel your life coach session and buy this book. This is pretty much the basics of what you need to know about the rules of the road so to speak. Granted it's simple--but that's the beauty of it.

Surprised by Hope: Rethinking Heaven, the Resurrection, and the Mission of the Church21 reviews
N. T. Wright
HarperOne, 2008
Surprised by Hope
I loved N.T. Wright's newest book, Surprised by Hope. He explores the meat of the Christian hope, what he calls the after-afterlife.
Wright addresses the misconceptions (a.k.a. bad theology) that's infiltrated not just the world (i.e. reincarnation), but also Christianity (i.e. when we all get to heaven).
The belief in Jesus' physical resurrection is on the line here, folks. If you believe ...

So You Don't Want to Go to Church Anymore36 reviews
Wayne Jacobsen, Dave Coleman
Windblown Media, 2006
Tied of church as usual?
I have met the author of this book and he is true follower of Christ. What Jake had experienced in this book is similar to what I went through in my journey away from the walls of religion to a free and delightful walk with Christ. This book helped me to escape the traditionalsim I had been brought up in as a pastor's son and as a pastor. Frank Viola's book, Pagan Christianity?: Exploring the ...

Blue Like Jazz: Nonreligious Thoughts on Christian Spirituality439 reviews
Donald Miller
Thomas Nelson, 2003
Short and Sweet
Wonderful explanation of what people mean when they say 'cookie cutter Christians' although, the author never uses this term. I found the first chapter difficult to read, kind of rambly, but very intriging.
The book is about his journey to find his place in religion his true, unique way, not the way that others told him to be, but the way he wanted. Not to say that he invented his own way ...
