One of the best resources on my book shelf.  I use it for prayer and for preparing reflections and homilies.

I was shipped this book so quickly compared to the last person I tried to buy this from on amazon, I was quite surprised. The content of the book is also a great resource, it reviews multiple disorders and activities available. I plan on keeping this book throughout my career, and since it came in great condition with no issues I plan to have it last for a long time. Don't hesitate in purchasing this book, it is definitely worth your time.

I have read through about half of this book and have found a great deal of helpful information. This has been a great addition to my resource library.

As I mentioned in the title, it's an excellent little resource to have.  I have both the actual book on my bookshelf at home, and I carry the e-book around with me on my iPad mini.  I highly recommend it!

Great resource for the shelf, especially when combined with Lange Q&A annotated into it. Used Case files as well to score 99 on the shelf.

I find myself using this a true resource for the ideas and for inspiration as well.
Scott Kelby does a great job of creating "resources" rather than just a book.

I  encourage you download the book so you can keep it at your fingertips in a tablet, OR cell phone.

What an invaluable resource this book is!  I especially appreciated the descriptions of the various types of spiritual emergency and the grounding techniques suggested.  The suggestions go above and beyond the "psychological" domain and really hone in on the mystery and reality of the altered states aspect and how to navigate through those especially sensitive areas.  Having gone through my own spiritual emergency, I resonated very much with the tone, content and treatment aspects of this book.  I am now working as a practitioner who specializes in this complex phenomenon and this book is one of my recommendations to others seeking understanding and healing.  The one part I feel that deserved more attention is the experience of memory repression in current lifetimes; Catherine only mentions it regarding past lives.  This would be the one suggestion I would make for future editions, with possibly a recommendation to another author (such as Donald Kalsched, Trauma and the Soul) for more detailed information on spirituality and dissociation.  In conclusion, if this book had been around back when I went through my spiritual emergency, I would have been a lot better off.  ;  )

I love the layout of this book.  For every flower and ornamental plant I want to grow, I can find a simple to follow description for its care in Indiana Getting Started Garden Guide.  This book will remain one of my first resources for each spring as I plan out my gardens.  I love the suggested companion plants with each variety. My book is full of bookmarks for pages I know I will refer to often.  My friends request to borrow this book but its hard to let it go.

This book is an excellent resource for any library. It is a thorough concordance with suggestions from many different translations. Yes, I wish, too, that there were more illustrations, but the ones that are included are hilarious. The author has included several funny comics to illustrate some of the topics. All in all, this is a great book.

I love this book! I recommend it highly. Pedram is a wonderful author, and uses honest real language (including swearing occasionally). It is amazing how he has taken his vast knowledge and created a very needed resource for people dealing with multiple stresses and living in possibly toxic environments. The book was very well thought out and presented in a way that you can read it like a chapter book or use it as a searchable resource. The first time I read it I read it straight through, highlighted passages and dogeared pages. I go back to this book frequently as a resource, including the appendix containing additional resources (such as his website and webcast)! The ideas/interventions he presents are often easily integrated into your life without extra hassles or the need to buy more stuff. It has definitely helped me simplify my life, declutter my home and mind, and decrease stress throughout the day.

This is a spectacular resource. I have a difficult time keeping it on my shelf as it is continually borrowed or loaned out to grandparents in my congregation. It helps grandparents and parents too discern how to not only pass on the faith but to engage their own life as a grandparent through intentionality. I cannot highly recommend it enough and have yet to find a resource to match it!

This is one those books everyone should have in their library.

This really is a must have for anyone seriously thinking about (or actively working in!) the children's book market. I have four picture books published and still buy a new edition every year; my old copies have stained, dog-eared pages throughout. At every conference I present, I tell folks to go get this book since it's such a great resource. It tells you who the right editors are, offers a great index in the back so you can look up publishers by subject matter or genre, what kinds of manucripts publishers are looking for, even what NOT to do. I like to thumb through it before a conference to get familiar with the presenters and/or to think of questions to ask. Get this and "Writing Children's Books For Dummies" and you are all set. -Bitsy Kemper

This book is a very useful resource for book marketing - specifically online marketing. I have yet to put all his suggestions into play with my book, but those that I have are slowly beginning to pay-off. Weber offers specific examples backed up by the selling statistics of various books that clearly demonstrate which promotion tactics do/don't work.

'Plug Your Book' has a heavy focus on Amazon, but since this is where most books are sold this makes complete sense. The book helps to illuminate the often cryptic practices of Amazon (how does 'better together' work for example) and numerous ways you can optimize your book's Amazon presence. I would not have thought to contact Amazon "top reviewers" if not for Weber's advice.

My only criticism is that the book may be growing somewhat out-of-date. I would love to see what new strategies might be included in a second edition!

A fantastic resource whether you are looking for book club suggestions or ideas for your own reading.  I have just begun on the journey to increase my knowledge of contemporary authors and their novels by reading the  starred books --the ones the editor considers to be "the best" by  each author included.  I'm sure anyone will "discover" unfamiliar  authors or novels not yet read.  It makes a terrific gift for the book  lovers on your list.
