Good book, but short in some areas.

After reading "The Sacred Romance" and it's sequel "The Journey of Desire" I find the second a little lacking.  Now don't get me wrong, the 4 stars is still an excellent rating, because this book is still _good_.  It hits home some very good points, like how Desire is God given and rather than distancing ourselves from it we should run and embrace God and then our desires shall be directed in the correct direction.  But you have all these other reviews to tell you all the good stuff, which I agree with.  I just found myself wanting more of John in this book.  It is sometimes so strewn with quotations as to wonder whether it is not just a reference book.  Also, sometimes you find yourself in the position of saying "I don't feel that same way when that happens to me" or "I've never had God talk to me like that" and it might seem that your faith, or walk, is lacking, when in fact people are just built differently and react in different ways to things.  Overall, I would say get this book, read it with the salt of the Word.  It can and has brought to life things that sometimes get buried.

I like the colorful pictures  but I agree that the book was short. my sons and daughter loves looking at the pictures, I would have given this a higher score if the book was a bit longer.

Nice, short book with a few good tips to remember, but I was looking for something with more strategies. A lot of the information seems like common sense.

A good book but too short for the price. Gives some internet sites to find them. With the web sites to help find them

I am enjoying the series.  They are well written, but I have two beefs. First is that they could have been longer, the books are novella length. Second, the author could have done more research on what he was writing about.  Obviously, he knows a great deal about the Marine Corp, but not so much about the Air Force, Mormons, some of the locations he writes about, and a few other things. This was noticeable to me as I read.  Of course, he did a much better job that Hollywood on those topics, so I have to give him credit there.

This book has a lot of very good information and the writing is really excellent.  The explanations are very good, easy to understand and never leave the reader confused.  However, the book is way too short.  It is listed as having 73 pages which is already a short book, but even that is a stretch since there are many pictures, blank pages and other content free areas.  I haven't done a count, but I would guess there are no more than 45 pages of actual written content.

The book is pretty short, but it has some really great passages and follow up questions.

A good book and a fast read.  My only issue is that it doesn't teach a whole lot more than what is contained in the first book, Don't Make Me Think, and on the website.

I like this book, but is has some problems. First is that it is very short and it doesn't have the time to cover all the nuances needed for this type of business plan. Second is that it is not really a plan, it is basically a set of pointers and advice on opening a coffee shop. It is good advice and good pointers, I am not saying that it is something wrong with them, but you will need to research a bit more for the real detailed plan. Other things are very good- writing, tips, grammar and so on. It is a useful book if you are looking for something broader to start with.

A nice handy little book. Could have had a lot more interesting information and I felt it was too brief.

Great story, just too short. The book occurred more like a short story and could have been better with more development of the characters. It is worth reading, but it will leave you a bit less than wanting more; like why wasn't there more?

very nice, i think this book has a lot of good info, just wish the author could be a little more detailed in some areas.

The book gives one a good idea of the traits of an introvert and an extrovert. Howerver there were too many examples with stories and facts. I think the book could have been half the length and would have been enjoyed more.

This book is filled with some good ideas, but rather limited on the space allowed (the flaw with all books). I would have liked to see a little more depth on the metrics with a little less of the kit bike ads, but section on the 'Redneck' choppers was worth the price. I was disappointed with the photos of the finished products (especially the metrics) but overall a good book for ideas.

The book is very useful and can help significantly if you are interested in mindfulness practice. It is a good adjunct to practicing meditation, as it points out helpful tips across various categories of mindfulness. However, some of it feels like filler and my feeling is that the book could have been much shorter. You definitely want to focus on actually doing the meditations, but you don't necessarily have to do the "official" ones for this book (that are available for download online), as you can find many analogous ones. I have used the "Stop, Breathe, and Think" iOS app, which also charts your meditations, moods, etc. and syncs with your iPhone health apps.

This book has nice insights on raising girls. I would have liked to have a little more discussion on the ages and stages, though. The chapters are a little short and I found myself wanting a little more...
