I FIND THIS CD SERIES EXTREMELY USEFUL. I'M TEACHING A BIBLE STUDY ON THE PURPOSE-DRIVEN LIFE & FIND THIS VERSION A WONDERFUL TOOL TO RECAP EACH CHAPTER. WISH I HAD THESE CD'S THE FIRST TIME I TAUGHT ON THE SUBJECT!
GOD HAS USED RICK WARREN TO SOW WONDERFUL SEEDS IN COUNTLESS LIVES--INCLUDING MINE. I'LL BE ALWAYS GRATEFUL FOR THE NEW DIRECTION I'VE FOUND BECAUSE OF HIS WORK! THE CD'S ARE A CONSTANT ROAD COMPANION TO ME.

Good job Amazon...Good book, but... 4 out of 5 stars.

I am happy that this book has inspired some folks to be better people. I just can't agree with some of what the author is suggesting in his book.

A few things...

It sounds like to me he believes in predestination. I don't...I believe that man has the free will to make his or her own good and bad decisions in his life. God gave that to us. If everything is predestinend why bother reading or listening to this book anyway??? Making my own decisions have PREDESTINED my life. I don't think that God made those decisions for me.

The author suggests that God causes thing to happen in our lives...that he uses pain and problems to serve as wake up calls. I can't blame this on God...it's a human condition for Pete's sake! Are the destitute people in Africa really bad people? NO...the circumstances are really bad. And still born babies...abortions...child abuse...wife beating...murder...are those things that God causes? Nope...we're just human.

And how about what you do with the things that God gives us? Do we give it all up to live like Jesus? That's pretty much what he suggests is part of God's plan for us. He may be right! There are places in the Bible that suggest just that. My main concern is that he mentions that saving for retirement is not in God's plan. I may be going to that bad place for it but I'm saving for my retiremnent. My circumstances allow it. I figure what I do with it after I have to stop working is the real question...I hope!

Please don't allow my critique to affect your decision to read the book or listen to this audio version. There are plenty of good things in there that can help you live a good life. There is also more content in there that I don't necessarily agree with but it's not really worth mentioning here.

Buy it and you decide...

I have bought approximately 5 copies of this book and given them away to friends. I have used it to teach small groups on the power of living relationships the way they are intended to be lived. I have also realized the power of this book in my own marriage and family life. It is great!

Editorial Review:

Successful couples know that harmony and happiness in marriage are not achieved by love alone. There is the other side of the Ephesians 5:33 equation - respect. Yes, a wife needs love. But a husband needs respect. Based on extensive biblical and scientific research, Dr. Emerson Eggerichs reveals the secret to couples meeting each other's deepest needs: Without love she reacts without respect, and without respect he reacts without love and a destructive, vicious cycle begins. Love and Respect is a groundbreaking audiobook which offers much-needed help to husbands and wives everywhere. It introduces the biblical teaching of unconditional respect, and that it is as powerful as unconditional love. Discover the secret revealed by God that cracks the communication code between male and female and reap the benefits of marriage as God intended.

Editorial Review:

A Life-Changing New Audiobook From The Author Of The New York Times Bestseller, The Power Of Now.

In this original audiobook, bestselling author Eckhart Tolle continues to teach us how to let go of the past and future to live in the now. Tolle urges to shed our mind-based sense of self, enter the portals of the eternal present, and live vividly in the present moment.

He guides us through these gateways: The Gateway of the Inner Body; The gateway of Silence; and The Gateway of Accepting This Moment. By moving through these openings, we will let the power of now transform our lives and achieve spiritual and psychological enlightenment.

Gateways to Now includes a Musical Reflection CD which offers quiet contemplation time -- a chance to acquire a reflective anchor that intensifies the integration of the listening experience into our lives. This Musical Reflection CD features Resonance by Jorge Alfano's World Ensemble. Drawing from South America, Africa, Tibet, Japan and Spain this ensemble creates universal music that crosses all borders and musical styles.

Excellent & Honorable Book 4 out of 5 stars.

This is a very good book. I would call this the "Asian Self-Help" vein. From this same vein I would also highly recommend Sarah Shikitao-Brown's book, both are good honorable books.

Yes I agree, excellent book in the Mindfulness Genre. As the lady before me has, I too will also recommend Tao Cycle Therapy by Sarah Shikitao-Brown. Between these two books, I can't think of a better foundation. Tao Cycle Therapy: Natural Happiness via Self Directed Cure for Chronic Anxiety & Depression [Updated 2008 3nd Edition]

The Voice of the Man in Black 5 out of 5 stars.
4 of 4 people found this review helpful.

Here's what absolutely amazes me about Johnny Cash -- and the reason that, after more than 30 years in journalism, I have to admit I still have such an emotional reaction to this country singer -- is that his famous struggles with temptation and faith have directly crossed over to the next generation.

There's something as honest as a razor blade about Cash. His "man in black" garb clearly wasn't merely a costuming choice for his stage act. His concern for the poor and marginalized clearly wasn't just another star's hobby. In fact, I went back and purchased DVDs of some of Cash's TV shows, because I'm so intrigued by this man, this artist, this man of faith.

I own dozens of Bibles and a half dozen audio Bibles -- but it's the Cash disks that keep winding up in my van with me when I'm traveling. There's nothing flashy in this recording, which was done back in the 1990s and doesn't have any of the Hollywood special effects that are popular in current audio Bibles.

This is the New King James Version so some of the phrases sound a little stilted to our ears, unless we've stayed with this majestic old rendering throughout our lives. But that's not a bad thing. I'm not a King James reader, on a regular basis, but there's something about the poetry of this particular translation -- coming to my ears in that voice of The Man in Black, knowing some of the incredible spiritual journey that he pursued through these years -- and the overall effect is mesmerizing.

Editorial Review:

The New Testament of the New King James Version is read in its entirety by music legend Johnny Cash. After 20 years of encouragement from his mother to record the Bible, he approached the recording of the New Testament with "fear, respect, awe, and reverence for the subject matter." Cash said further, "I also did it with a great deal of joy, because I love the Word." Johnny Cash Reads the Complete New Testament, is 19 hours of hearing the Word of God from one of the most distinctive voices of our time. This special edition 16-CD boxed set includes a photograph and spiritual journey section.

Editorial Review:

Is it possible to consciously evoke the divine as a presence and resource in your life--anytime, anywhere? Not only is it possible, teaches Caroline Myss, but each of us is in fact a "channel for grace." Why? Because grace is something we all manifest in two profound ways: internally as divine guidance; and externally, as our expression of personal power. On Channeling Grace, the bestselling author of Anatomy of the Spirit presents a two-CD audio learning course to help listeners bring this dynamic force into their lives. On Part One, Myss explores why grace is especially relevant today, how to recognize it in our lives, and the requirements for intentionally contacting grace. On Part Two, she teaches a full set of guided visualizations for connecting with this spiritual resource to: * Receive direction for important life decisions * Understand the subtle nature of your field of grace * Invoke the divine to heal ourselves and others * Foster inspiration and creativity. "Grace is a profound force that is continually active in our lives through countless subtle and direct means," teaches Caroline Myss. "Once you grasp the gentle nature of grace, you can recognize its constant presence and influence in your life." Now, this internationally renowned speaker and energy medicine expert offers insights on this unspoken principle in her own life, one that is of utmost importance for anyone seeking continuous spiritual growth and transformation.

4.5* Warm practicality 4 out of 5 stars.
24 of 25 people found this review helpful.

This short (almost 4 hours in 35 tracks--CD#1: 42:46 in 8 tracks, CD#2: 76:49 in 10 tracks, CD#3: 58:45 in 8 tracks, CD#4: 55:33 in 9 tracks) set builds on Pema's book Start Where You Are: A Guide to Compassionate Living (Shambhala Classics) addressing some of the 49 Lojong mind training slogans. These implement the general approach of Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana) of turning poison into elixir--esp. transforming the 3 Poisons of aggression, craving, & ignorance into Relative Bodhichitta=Maitri ("unconditional friendliness" or lovingkindness) & compassion. Pema notes the parallels to homeopathy in her practical method of "using difficult circumstances as a path of awakening" based on the teachings of her master Trungpa Rinpoche.

But, she also addresses Absolute Bodhichitta ("openness"), familiar to students of Mahamudra and Dzogchen, in a more concrete way--rather than only in theory or even in exercises. Further, she points out the dreamlike nature of reality (using shopping malls, airports, & lucid dreaming=waking up inside a dream to demonstrate this). There's heavy emphasis on Tonglen (see Tonglen, the Path of Transformation) including a guided sitting Tonglen session, description of "traffic Tonglen"--a type of on-the-spot Tonglen in which one connects to other folks in the same "boat" as one is experiencing at the moment, and using Tonglen to deal with difficult people & circumstances. As usual she includes both her own and others' actual experiences to explicate her teachings.

These sessions are similar to much of her other work, but she notes the value of repetition--per the student who heard the same thing over & over but finally "got it" on the 25th time! But this set has even more humor than her prior works--I actually laughed out loud! Her gently compassionate, spiritual warrior approach is esp. evident in the Q&A sessions, her depiction of the 3 Courages (king, ferryman, shepherd), & her mindfulness of pain approach. Overall, implementation of these techniques dissolves one's dichotomizing, denial, & dissociation. As she states: "You're getting somewhere with your students when they begin to get terrified." But, that's what it may take when facing one's addictions & ignorance so that one can "Live so you can die without regrets." You won't regret listening to her IMHO.

Lojong is a powerful Tibetan Buddhist practice created especially for training the mind to work with the challenges of everyday living. It teaches our hearts to soften, reframes our attitude toward difficulty, and allows us to discover a wellspring of inner strength. In this recorded retreat, Pema Chödrön introduces the lojong teachings and explains how we can apply them to any situation in our life—because, as Pema says, "every moment is an opportunity for awakening." In addition, Pema also leads a guided tonglen meditation, a practice aimed at developing courage and cultivating compassion for ourselves and others.
