Taking Care of Ourselves 5 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

A decade or so ago a friend who was going through a rough patch in her life had a therapist who highly recommended this book of meditations. I happened to be in Barnes and Noble with her when she bought Melody Beattie's book, and after perusing a few of the passages, I bought one for myself. What a difference reading The Language of Letting Go made (and continues to make) in my life.

I've bought and given away several copies of Letting Go since that night in the bookstore in the hope that my friends will benefit as much as I have from these sage words of "gentle" advice and reminders that we deserve "the best that life and love have to offer." A few of my personal favorites are the reminders to be patient and realize that timing is perfect, that it's okay to say "no" sometimes and equally okay to say yes to what feels right and good, and that we are responsible for taking care of ourselves.

The realization that we are being divinely led and that we need to trust our Higher Power is reinforced throughout the book. Anyone interested in growth and self-care will benefit from reading it.

Editorial Review:

Melody Beattie integrates her own life experiences and fundamental recovery reflections in this unique daily meditation book written especially for those of us who struggle with the issue of codependency.

Problems are made to be solved, Melody reminds us, and the best thing we can do is take responsibility for our own pain and self-care. In this daily inspirational book, Melody provides us with a thought to guide us through the day and she encourages us to remember that each day is an opportunity for growth and renewal.

What I Saw In This Book 1 out of 5 stars.
8 of 14 people found this review helpful.

Well first of all, God has already inspired a book for us 2000 years ago, called the Bible which was written and dictated in the hearts of man. God didn't speak to anyone audibly, nor did he push a mans pen across a page like satan did in this book using a deceived author.

This book has many satanic elements and tones. If the author really heard from God, it certainly wasn't the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. It's funny how satan wants to be God so bad that he literally manifested himself as God in this book. He clearly attempts to influence the masses of unaware people by flip flopping around the bible and twisting scriptures to make them mean what will lure people away from the truth. The book is full of contradictions and many things taken out of context.

Would God tell us that there is no sin? when in fact he sent his son to die to save us from it? Would God use man to write a book that clearly speaks against his own word in another book? Ah, the answer would be "NO".

It is obvious that this author has probably never seen the inside of a bible and is not grounded in the truth of Gods word, because if he was he would have known that the voices he heard couldnt have been that of God.

This book is a fine example of the New Age doctrine that is now deceiving millions and an even greater example as to why we need to be grounded in the Word of God.

Whats even more obvious to me is that in the book, satan jumps around so much that it literally confuses people. He never makes a clear point using one sentence, which will confuse most people and keep them from noticing his deceptive acrobatics.

When the book indicated that we shouldnt be reading the bible, thats when I tossed it in the garbage, where it belongs. People be careful, get grounded in the Word of God. Don't go on other peoples experiences or take thier word for it. Get your own revelation from God, his inspired Word and pray that his spirit will reveal the truth and just be open for it and receptive.

Editorial Review:

Blasphemy! Heresy! Who does this man think he is, claiming to speak directly to God?! Jesus did it, Muhammad did it, the Jewish prophets did it, but none of their Gods had the sardonic wit or raw verve of Prophet Walsch's God. Neale Donald Walsch isn't claiming to be the Messiah of a new religion, just a frustrated man who sat down one day with pen in his hand and some tough questions in his heart. As he wrote his questions to God, he realized that God was answering them... directly... through Walsch's pen. The result, far from the apocalyptic predictions or cultic eccentricities you might expect, turns out to be matter-fact, in-your-face wisdom on how to get by in life while remaining true to yourself and your spirituality.

0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

The Road Less Traveled is one of my favorite books of all time. Scott Peck gives a great perspective on life.
Beginning with the quote "life is difficult".
I have read almost all of Scott Peck's books and think he is amazingly talented.
A MUST read.
All the very best,
Sarah Radford
President Chic Gems, etc.

Editorial Review:

By melding love, science, and religion into a primer on personal growth, M. Scott Peck launched his highly successful writing and lecturing career with this book. Even to this day, Peck remains at the forefront of spiritual psychology as a result of The Road Less Traveled. In the era of I'm OK, You're OK, Peck was courageous enough to suggest that "life is difficult" and personal growth is a "complex, arduous and lifelong task." His willingness to expose his own life stories as well as to share the intimate stories of his anonymous therapy clients creates a compelling and heartfelt narrative.

Take me to trust 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

Take me to truth is one of the few A Course In Miracle related books that teaches the essential practice of trust. Within its stories, sharings and gentle wise guidance, we come to see ourselves beyond our shadows and learn to accept Holy Spirit's guidance as always leading us to the light within. Trust indeed is the essential component for every Teacher of God, yet it also is the most essential component for inner peace beyond any spiritual path. Here we come to learn, not just through Nouk and Tomas' own journey, how trust is the key, but how each of us can choose to step beyond our own challenges and desire to know the light within ourselves as real and life affirming. The lessons and sharings within Take Me To Truth are practical, real and ego-destructive! So warn your ego before you choose to delve within its pages... it just may not survive. I am proud to own this book and highly recommend it to all not only on the path of ACIM, but to all who genuinely seek to awaken.Simply Being: One Year with Spirit

Editorial Review:

Take Me to Truth is the first book to boldly address the fundamental problem that all spiritual seekers face on the journey to awakening; the ego. Take Me to Truth is a powerful six-stage navigational guide that takes us through the six remarkable stages of undoing ego. Each of these stages becomes an experience of deepening trust, eventually removing all existing blocks to the awareness of the Infinite Love that we are and have. It bridges the yawning gap that exists between seeking enlightenment and finding it.

Editorial Review:

Whether they are corporate professionals, budding entrepreneurs, or they own a home business, most people are looking to achieve more in less time, while earning enough money to live comfortably. This book reveals the proven techniques thousands of people have used to attain all of the money they wanted while living healthy, happy and balanced lives. The Power of Focus, the new blockbuster from the coauthors of the bestselling Chicken Soup for the Soul, is a practical no-nonsense guide that shows readers how to reach their business, personal and financial goals without getting burned out in the process.

Canfield, Hansen, and Hewitt have taken the best ideas from their own successful careers (seventy-nine years of combined business expertise), and distilled them into ten powerful focusing principles. The result is a treasury of insights that is enjoyable to read and easy to understand. At the outset, the book identifies the three most important fundamentals for consistent success: developing unusual clarity; understanding that habits determine your future; and using a "no exceptions policy" approach to focus on what you want. Numerous anecdotes and inspiring stories help to reinforce each principle.

This is a must-read for business people, sales managers, entrepreneurs, and anyone who is serious about improving their personal awareness.

Extremely helpful 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

Ever since I heard that in the Native American Spiritual tradition the universe may be sending us a message when we have an unusual experience with an animal I saw my own significant contacts with animals in a new way.
My favorite source for verifying my experiences is Jamie Sams and David Carson's cards called "Medicine Cards: The Discovery of Power through the Ways of Animals." They believe that each animals' medicine relays a life lesson.
Sams and Carson's helped me better understand some unusual animal experiences.
My first experience involved six baby ring neck snakes that suddenly appeared in our cabin when our friend from South Africa was visiting. Since my husband and I had lived there for five years we decided it was an omen. We did a "Pathway Spread" on our friend with Sams and Carson's animal medicine cards and learned that the snake is a symbol of change, transmutation, death and rebirth. We were stunned as she, after a two-year separation, was about to ask her husband of 29 years for a divorce.
On another occasion I heard the sneezy-snorts of some white tail deer. I looked out the dining room window and froze. Three deer snorted and pawed the ground within a couple of feet of where Lady, our golden retriever, lay in her dog pen. Sensing something was wrong I dashed over.
Lady got up, staggered and collapsed. My husband and I took her to the vet but it was too late; she died shortly thereafter. The vet said she had cancer. We were heartbroken. Wondering about the deer I consulted the medicine cards and learned that the deer is a symbol of love and gentleness. I like to think that the deer were trying to comfort Lady and alert us about her distress.
A friend and I were charmed when an otter circled our canoe on a river in Florida. We became nervous when it tried to climb the canoe's bow and stern. I shrieked when it hoisted itself into the boat at my feet via my dry bag. Luckily my friend was able to scoop the otter out of the boat with her paddle. We were amazed when the otter chased our canoe as we raced off but ignored two other canoes a few moments later.
When I checked the significance of an otter in the medicine cards I learned that it is a symbol "woman medicine." Sams and Carson said an otter tells us to become the playful child, to allow things to unfold, to stop worrying and to not hang on to material things that become a burden. They said the otter teaches us to look at the joyousness of the receptive side of our nature, to give freely and to move gently into the river of life, "By flowing with the waters of the Universe we balance, honor female receptive energy and discover the power of woman."
Since I've been struggling to find the right balance in giving and receiving and work and play I saw otters' medicine as a sign to be more generous and have fun.
My fourth experience involved a musk turtle that sat in one of our creek's pools for a week. Since there was a drought and the turtle seldom moved as the water retreated I became concerned. When I told my husband at breakfast that I thought the turtle was dying we decided to relocate it in a larger river after lunch.
My husband appeared a few hours later and said, "Your `dying' turtle is sitting at the front door of our cabin." We were shocked. The turtle had climbed a steep hill and found our front door. We immediately drove the turtle to a nearby river and released it.
The medicine cards said the turtle is a symbol of Mother Earth. It asks us to honor our creative source, to be grounded, to flow harmoniously between the water and the earth and to go inside ourselves for protection.
Feeling depressed about the drought the turtle's presence gave me the gift of gratitude.
I believe there is a presence among all of creation, the earth, people, animals and plants that is healing and draws us ever closer to God. It was said in the Book of Job; ask the beasts, and they shall teach you, and the birds of the air to tell you.
Animal Medicine and the use of the medicine cards not only helped me identify and resolve issues but better appreciate their gifts.
All I need to do is pay attention.

Ten Stupid Things Women Do to Mess Up Their Lives

Editorial Review:

Dr. Laura Schlessinger is the incredibly popular and controversial psychotherapist who hosts a nationally syndicated, top-rated midday radio talk show. She has strong convictions and doesn't hesitate to voice them to callers. She urges women emphatically to lose a domineering jerk of a lover and pick one of the "good guys," to stay home and parent the babies they've made, and to follow the dream rather than some dreamboat. Above all, she exhorts women not to blame anybody or anything but themselves if they're unhappy and their lives seem a mess.

10 Stupid Things Women Do to Mess Up Their Lives uses real-world examples from Schlessinger's radio show and private practice to drive the message home. And the message is that our reticence to be bold and brave often makes us act like stupid, submissive victims. Once we muster the courage to take responsibility for our own problems and to tolerate the discomforts of risk, the possibilities for personal growth and joy are limitless.

If you're looking for an all-approving hand to hold, you won't find it here. If you're prepared to take a clear-eyed look at your self-diminishing behavior and to make the move to a quality existence, there's no one better than Schlessinger to keep you honest and to cheer you on. One thing's for sure: You'll never look at your relationships, behaviors and decisions the same way after you've finished reading this book.

Dyer's content helped manifest my own inspired creation! 4 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

Dr. Dyer's content is almost always right on. This version of his wisdom helped me to tap into a bigger conciousness and manifest my new novel. My own content was previously "out there" and his "Meditations..." helped me capture my story and channel it through my head and out my hands. The result is Uncle Juan's Cabin which is a dramatic, timely tale. It is entertaining and inspriational...just like Dr. Dyer's many works.
