The Peace of Positive Energy
Thank you for Positive Energy! Have you ever attended a church sermon and felt like you were supposed to be in the house of the Lord that day? Did you ever feel that a certain sermon was written especially for you? Well, that is the feeling that engulfed me while reading Positive Energy. I have gained a great deal of knowledge from this book and I'm reading it a second time!

How Evil Works: Understanding and Overcoming the Destructive Forces That Are Transforming America 8 reviews
David Kupelian
Threshold Editions, 2010
Couldn't Put It Down
This book is based on the premise that there is a God, He is in charge, He is right, and when we rebel against Him we get into trouble - and it's our own fault. I found this book to be a refreshing insight into the human condition.

Danny Meyer
Harper Paperbacks, 2008
Enlightened hospitality, indeed
I've been an admirer of Danny Meyer ever since I read an article on him and Union Square Cafe in Gourmet magazine several years ago. This book didn't disappoint. It gave me a lot of things to think about as I move ahead in my own small business. Highly recommended for those who want to look at things differently, who always suspected that while the customer may not always be "right," there are ...

Transforming the Difficult Child: The Nurtured Heart Approach86 reviews
Howard Glasser, Jennifer Easley
Nurtured Heart Publications, 1999
Great book!
This book opened my eyes to a new way of looking at and dealing with my five year olds behavioral issues. Before reading the book, my husband and I tried time-outs, taking toys away, etc. and nothing seemed to reach our son. In fact, all forms of traditional "discipline" seemed to make him act out even more. We used the Nurtured Heart Approach and within days we noticed a huge difference in his ...

Rhonda Byrne
Atria Books/Beyond Words, 2006
Read it!
This is an amazing work. I also have the CD soundtrack. As a regular woman, and as a professional life coach, I firmly believe and use the Law of Attraction, which is the basis of "The Secret". After I read the book in 2007, I began using it for the little things as an experiment. I tried it for parking spaces and it worked. I have great parking spaces. Traffic flows better for me. And even ...

A New Kind of Christianity: Ten Questions That Are Transforming the Faith 24 reviews
Brian D. Mclaren
HarperOne, 2010
A New Kind of Conversation...
I had a feeling as I was into the first chapter that this would be a book that would energize those with a more fundamental view of Christianity. And judging by some of the negative posts here and in the "blogosphere", I was right! As a fresh wind is blowing and picking up speed, they are seeing the pegs holding their "tent" start to loosen and come free. Thus, they are desperately trying to ...

Shambhala, 2008
Christian Non-dualism
First of all: this is a must-read for anyone who calls him/herself a Christian, or has some interest about what Christianity and Jezus might be about.
Second: critique is always possible on minor points. I have some as well, but these do not diminish in any way the great vista this book opens.
Third: when I had gone through the published reviews, it hit me that many reviewers seem to have ...

This book was given to me on Valentine's day by my daughter. I know everyone looks for different things in different types of books.

What a beautiful way to "translate" The Lord's Prayer. This book has caused me to look at the ...

The author's central argument is that there are "jobs" and skills that are abundant and there is another class of workers that create and they will drive the most value.
