This second book continues B's open and honest account of her unfolding spiritual journey. For me there are two essential gifts in the writing - courage and possibility. One cannot help but be impressed with the courage of an ordinary person undertaking an extraordinary journey. And her candid account of her experiences carries an important message about possibility.  It shows us that such a journey is also a possibility for us.  And it reminds us that our future is already present in the possibility of now.

I'll say what was said to me regarding this book:
Just buy it.  Buy it today.
It's not a long book.
And that's great.
...because you are going to find you'll want to read it many times.
One of the most successful people I know said, "Just buy it - buy it today. Read it tonight..." and she is not one to run her mouth about much or make strong recommendations of anything without compelling reasons.
This is a modern fable in its style, and like a classic fable, its message is much bigger, deeper & more resonant than its brevity would lead one to believe.
Some might disregard a book like this one, thinking the title too simplistic or the concepts already well-covered by writers such as Napoleon Hill. That would be a shame, because in this thin package is a volume of insight & confirmation regarding the powers of belief, vision and the unconscious mind.
This is a simple story, with a powerful message - most powerful to those open to it, and not preoccupied with some other self-limiting issues.
Whether the story told here is new to you or a fresh telling of one of the great parables you've studied in other forms, you'll find in this book a prize worth sharing with others, as I've felt since it was first shared with me.
And if you enjoy this one, another book you'll enjoy is Visionary Business, by Marc Allen. Both address the idea of intent, vision and their effects within what we call our reality in ways that will change your life when you are ready.
There's not much point in going on about how very much my life and business have been transformed since being exposed to the messages in these and similar books, because your life is your own, and mine won't matter much to you when it comes right down to it.
Your own life, though, that's something else. Your life is NOW, and when you are ready to begin the practices outlined herein, the vibrational frequency of your life will be turned up in ways you wouldn't have thought possible before -- and sooner than you'd expect.
That's how it was presented to me, and I have come to agree, so I'm passing it on to you.

A wonderful, (can be if you choose) life-changing, book that is not just for teachers.  Read it.  Read it again.

One of Will Smith's favorite books to read, and those who tend to repeatedly read it, discover this book has a message that could transform your life.

This is one of the most relevant books I've read in the last few years.  It kicks off by illustrating how we try to make God (aka Jesus) in OUR image instead accepting the fact that we are made in HIS image...  When we do this, we short circuit what God is trying to do in our lives.  Perhaps the most challenging implication for me was that Jesus calls me to love people id much rather be judging. Ouch.  But the author also gives us a Biblical way to get back on track.
The message is as old as Scripture but packaged in a way that anyone can relate to.

Good message, may be useful to Christians and even to some others but book is addressed to Christians.  Worth taking a look at

This is a beautiful book. Written with great simplicity and sincerity, it gives a profound message in words that even a child could understand, indeed a child would understand it better than many adults. It could be a wake up call to many, and to those of us already on the path it serves as a wonderful reminder of the importance of the task which has been given to us in this lifetime. I felt in one of the chapters that Susan was talking about my own life. I am sure that this book will fall into the hands of all who need to find it. It is a perfect gem.

This was a good book!

I picked it up in the clearance  section of a bookstore. My original intention was to give it to my 15 year old niece, for inspiration. But then after quickly reading through it I decided to just give it to my mom instead. I felt it was more appropriate.

The subject matter is diverse. These women are caretakers, charity starters, cancer survivors, CEO's, moms, daughters, etc. I think the message is wonderful in the book. The photos of these women holding their meaningful objects are great. It's a REAL person, could be your next door neighbor, could be your teacher/ doctor/ etc. I liked how each of them was holding an object of some significance representing what they did. I liked the short descriptions. I actually would have liked the descriptions to be a bit longer. I wanted to hear a little more about the progress or where they got to that important point in their life, or what HAPPENED after. Not novels, but just a little more then the 2 or 3 paragraphs they had. A little more depth and substance would have been good. But I understand why they kept it so short. It really is meant more of a table book then a biography.

Still, I liked this book. I think it would make a great gift for your favorite woman/ women.

What a nice first book by the author!  This family book is designed to appeal to both a young child and the adult reader by providing a clear and simple message without feeling like you are being `educated' at the same time.  The message is clear.  Learn to trust your feelings as well as your internal danger sensor so that you draw away from harmful situations.  Too often we forget to do exactly that in our lives, returning again and again to learn and re-learn the same lessons, usually to our detriment.  How many times have we all said "If I'd only followed my feelings...".  And what a nice ending too, almost a cliff-hanger.  It makes me wonder what will happen in the next book and what lesson little Dolittle is going to learn next.

I liked the main message of this book which is basically to surrender and be open to whatever God, the Universe, or a higher force are willing to bring you. Basically, you have to have trust and faith that whatever you are seeking or praying, or hoping for will come your way at its right time.  The book may give the idea that we don't have or shouldn't gave any control over our lives, and just leave things up to fate, but what I really think it's implying is that you can still take action in your life, but then trust and let go of any worry or fears, and really believe that what is meant for you will come at the right tine.  Of course, if you don't get what you want, then it probably wasn't meant to be anyway, and that's not necessarily a bad thing either. I also like a couple of the mantras and affirmations and positive thinking phrases that Tosha includes in this book. I have been using one in particular for a couple of weeks, and it's helping me to stay calm and at peace knowing that what is,meant for me will happen if I have genuine trust and faith.  Overall, nice spiritual book for those folks who are "Open" to believing in a higher power.  I recommend it to others to help them find serenity and positivity in their lives!

Definitely a book for millenials but I love the message of living a spirit led life which I do think is applicable to people no matter what their age. This book is one that I can see myself picking up again in 5 years and rereading simply because the message is one that we need to hear frequently; finding good vibes, breaking out of your comfort zone, owning your life, listen to your intuition, finding your path and ultimately discovering what makes you happy. It was a nice uplifting read that might only take a couple of days to get through, however I found the message a bit repetitive throughout the book. After about chapter 3, it was clear, listen to your spirit and vibrate higher. Still a good book and anyone on a spiritual path (who may be younger) would enjoy this as a gift or just buy it for yourself.

This is one of my favorite books. It is in my opinion one of those books that talks to everyone who reads it in a selective and different way. Meaning that the messages that I learn out of the book may not be the same for you. Which is what makes this book so great. If I were to pick it up today it would mean different than the last time that I read it. Because of this particular and special quality, this is a book that you will find yourself revisiting. I highly recommend this book and I bet that after you read the book that you will soon be recommending this book to someone also. Enjoy!

This book contains a message for our times and gives solid strategies to do it. I found this book to be empowering and it challenged me because the author said what needs to be said biblically. There are eight chapters that are declarations to help with tangible ways of putting on our spiritual warrior boots. Each chapter spoke to me but there were three that facilitated me deciding to stand firm and put on my warrior boots. The chapter "I Will Know What I Believe" challenged me to walk in the truth of God Word and to stand on that. This chapter is really powerful because we live in a time that's rocky and many are unsure of what to believe. The author awakens us with truths like this quote from the book "We float with no destination. Our insides are dying and desperate and we don't have a clue what is wrong. The more we water down what we believe, the more we drive ourselves mad trying to grasp to something concrete in the mist of a mental tsunami". The author tone in the book is filled with love , urgency and the call to stand up and really be Jesus strong. She points us to the one who can help us win battles and that's Jesus. She admonishes not being complacent in these times. I must warn you that this book is meaty and not filled with fluff. I had to revisit sentences and chapters each time I did my heart was pricked and challenged to walk in truth and the ways of Jesus. This Message is revival for me and I believe that it will change the hearts of women every where if we will receive the message. This is a manual and I am so grateful that a bible study is included at the end of each chapter as well. If you want to really be Jesus strong and are willing to be challenged and to grow this book is for you.

You could read these reviews and make a decision based on them on whether the book is good or bad. Or you could pick it up, read it, and discover deep within yourself, that what is said makes is the truth, and more importantly that it makes sense and makes you feel good. I believe the Bible says, when something feels good, it is the Holy Spirit working within you to reveal the truth.

I couldn't stop reading this book. I stopped doing everything else and felt a need and utter attraction to the words of this book. I smiled, laughed, and gaped with my mouth hanging open throughout the book. I felt good inside, and for the first time, I can can believe, because what is written, makes absolute sense. For we knew everything before we came to this world, and we will know everything again when we leave it. Subconciously, deep down, that knowledge is still there, and it is at times like this, when you read a book like this, that you feel the joy and excitment when you know that what you are reading is the truth, you just know.

This book, or at least, the ideas and message of this book, may be humanity's single most important piece of writing since mankind started writing and reading.

I encourage you strongly, to pick it up, read it, and may you come to the realization that Life is God, Love is God, and everything that exists is God. And that Death is no different than when we wake up from our dreams and into what we call "reality" or than when we fall asleep and leave "reality" and awaken in the dream world.

There is something in this book for everyone, and a message to each of us just how important even the smallest moments of personal interaction with others may prove, how profoundly they may impact another's life far disproportionately greater than we personally might anticipate or expect at the time.

It's also somewhat of an essay upon how that, despite omnipresent Internet-connected devices and access to social media to connect us with others in our families and communities, given the nature of social media posts, more like a bulletin board than a letter or conversation, somehow knowing what is happening in other's lives, without that broader direct person-to-person contact which is more and more being displaced by 'likes', Instagrams, and the like, somehow some of us, maybe even ALL of us may find themselves or ourselves more lonely and alone than they have ever been.

So often we read about how lonely, embittered and socially-disconnected individuals experience deeply-affected moments of despair which may lead to nihilistic acts revenge and violence, as much self-directed as outward. It seems such events are increasing in number and frequency exponentially even as it might seem that we have more tools to connect with our communities more omnipresent than has ever been possible in the entirety of human history. And yet, somehow, we may be leaving so many individuals behind with no check against self-perpetuating cycles of negativity, and a deep bitterness at feelings of being very personally excluded from the rest of their families and community.

This book begins in the aftermath of tragic violence born of such personal feelings of exclusion, social antipathy or neglect, social derision, feelings of unjust persecution, and a desire to be rid of it all, perhaps taking a moment to share the ride with a prominent persecutors or two.  It ends with several developing a keen understanding of both their roles in the build-up to the violence, and with their responsibilities to themselves and others to forge deeper interpersonal connections to others in their social networks of the human face-to-face sort, to keep themselves and their communities healthy.

The voices of the characters are very authentic and meaningful, their circumstances familiar enough that one may easily feel their lives linked with moments of our own.  The central theme is an important one for this moment in time, enough so to forgive how forcefully it is pounded into the reader.

This is another book that I want my child to read to help him understand how important the sense of personal connection is, how it is not to be slighted without consequence, and to illustrate how important even the smallest of our individual acts may be in either leading to or toward thwarting tragedy in our communities, families, and personal lives.  I'm recommending the title to all my 'connected' Internet-connected 24x7x365 friends, too.
