Paul McKenna does it again

I now have several of Paul McKenna's programs and, while I'm still in the early weeks of listening and reading, both the book and particularly the CD are highly effective.  If you are one for hypnosis - being open to suggestion - this is a great program.  It works at the subconscious level altering your perspective and attitude towards things which opens up opportunity for change.

I love this man and his work.

I'm disappointed with the fools who have reviews up here already, but people will be people, I guess.  The thing you HAVE to know before buying this album is that it is NOT music by Paul Heaton, it is a collection of music by others that Paul Heaton considers influential.  It's part of a great ongoing series put out by DMC - I recommend checking out the entire "Under the Influence" series.

That being said, this is probably the best out of that outstanding series.  It's got great funk, soul, country (which I normally loathe), rock - it's a crime that there aren't audio samples available for this CD, because it's an outstanding ghoulash.

I heartily recommend this CD for anyone who is looking to expand their musical horizons.

I liked the "Then" disc because it had some great classic tunes on it, but the "Now" disc was really impressive with the almost spiritual sound Paul incorperated into some of the new songs he has  writtem. The whole disc is great but I particularlly liked "Nights  Like This".The title is self explanitory and perfect for just those  times. A couple other top tunes are "All I Want Is You" &  "Heart of Fire". I mentioned earlier that some of the songs had a  spiritual "sound" to them, and while Paul is not known for being  a "Christian Rock" artist his heart must have had a brush with  the Lord because he certainly sounds "annointed".This is  DEFINATELY one (or actually two) CD you will want to add to your collection  if you are a Paul Rodgers fan. Great job Paul!

Different from previous works, Burroughs strays from his memoirs and novels to give the reader some fun filled, enerjetic short stories that are still packed with his classic wit and crass humor. His writing continues to get better so if you enjoyed his previous books then you are sure you love this one. I found myself savoring each chapter and forcing myself to put the book down so that I could prolong the enjoyment for as long as possible. A definite must buy.

Simply put, this is another can't-put-it-down novel set on the tough backstreets of Glasgow. M Mckay has now released three excellent novels, can't wait for a fourth. Get this, you will not be disappointed.

This is the second book in the Game McKenna series. Every bit as good as the first. I don't stay up until 3 am reading less than suspenseful books. Fast-paced, lots of well-developed characters, intriguing plot that keeps you guessing until the end. Even a surprise ending that I won't spoil. I can't wait for the sequel. HIGHLY recommend.

Paul Wootten never ceases to amaze, keeping the history of his character alive once again. I have read all of Pauls books and this is the best one yet! I enjoyed them all and would definitely recommend them. A must read.

Great mystery writer. I have read all of his books. McKenna and his dog Spot have a great relationship. The descriptive Lake Tahoe background brings back memories for those of us who have been going there for many years. When I start reading a new Todd Borg mystery it is like catching up with an old friend and finding out what has happened since we last talked.

No author has impacted me more than David McKenna. He had an amazing career working in Christian higher education and he is able to pack so much insight and wisdom into his books. I look forward to reading everything I can find of his, and I hope to inspire others the way he has inspired me.

Christ-centered Leadership is another work about McKennas leadership style. With his vast experience, a book about leadership could quickly become self-congratulatory, instead McKenna gives you a lesson in humility and sacrifice.

To lead, Christ gave up His position, power and prestige. It was the only way he could be accessible to his sons and daughters. When you become a leader, you must give up these things as well. You need to be vulnerable, obedient, and humble.

Sacrificial leadership is a journey, not a destination

This was not my favorite work by McKenna but it is still valuable to me. His other works contained more anecdotes and stories from his days serving at different institutions. His tales are always remarkable and inspiring.

Paul Again has created another Novel which is hard to put down. This second Novel is full of fast-paced adventure! Paul S Kemp is one of the BEST Forgotten Realms Authors out there!

This is one of Clive's and Paul's best. Hope they continue their joint writing in this thrilling series of the Numa files

I have read all of Paul's books and I have also loved them all!  They all kept me on the edge of my seat!  I can't wait for the next one!

Another wonderful Owen McKenna mystery.  I have read them all and enjoyed every one.  This story is another page turner that kept me up all night to find out what happens next.  McKennas brush with drowning death was so suspenseful and well written that I felt like I was under water with him and could imagine the terror.

Paul Kantner's "Planet Earth Rock And Roll Orchestra" (1983), is a great album that has never seen the light of day on CD. (This has to be a lapse of judgement at the label?!).  The title track is so mesmerizing, other great songs are, "(She's Is A) Telepath", "The Mountain Song", with the late Jerry Garcia, "Circle Of Fire", and "Let's Go".
Grace Slick, Ronnie Montrose and most of Jefferson Airplane/Starship members appear here.  This would be Paul's last solo album, before forming the KBC Band in 1986.  I plea to someone, please release this, it's a very good album.

The Moon Pool  by P.T. Deutermann
Keep in mind, I see myself writing recommendations rather than reviews.  I can save you some time, I recommend the book.  Deutermann and this book once again, kept me up late reading.  Cam Richter who we met in Cat Dancers  and Spider Mountain is back.  Cam, Frick and Frack once again face myriad dangers, the FBI, Home Land Security, delusional hackers, psychotic ex-military and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

I have all four books in this series and will be enlightening my readers with my reactions, sweaty palms and all.  I reviewed Cat Dancers  and then Spider Mountain on this blog a few weeks ago, this book is every bit as good.  I have to feel that Deutermann is a dog person; he writes of Cam's sidekicks with respect and love but also is able to be pragmatic about them.  Cam's love for his canine companions is once again aptly demonstrated.

Deutermann portrays his protagonists with nearly bottomless loyalty and unbelievable persistence, often to their determent.  Cam's fellow ex-cops demonstrate the astounding depths of friendship.

Cam and other characters express dismay over the state of the American psychic and derision for many of the agencies tasked to keep us safe.  Deutermann is very even handed in his characters' criticisms.  This book, as the others in the series, is a nail biting action adventure.
I highly recommend it.

For the nay sayer, keep in mind the entertainment value of books is not to be underestimated, this book is highly entertaining.

Ive read every one of the Tahoe, McKenna books.  Todd Borg does an outstanding job developing his characters and story line.  I love how the titles tie into the book itself.  I hope Mr. Borg writes others set in Tahoe.  Ive lived near there and when he runs down to Grass Valley, or around Tahoe, I can visualize it in my mind.  Great stories, great setting.
