A really inspiring read

This book gave me a sense of the joy that I can experience if I truly live in the present moment. The humour of the author allowed me to see that I don't have to take my own spiritual journey so seriously.
I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in experiencing peace.

Finished this book in one day. The concepts are phenomenal, and I gained a lot of insight into certain areas of my life that I hadn't thought of before. All in all, a wonderful and inspiring read!

I found this book exciting and inspiring, and afterwards you really want to get to know Daniel personally.  I have gone on to do that and he is every bit as inspirational in reality as he is in his book.  Well worth reading and I would encourage you to put these ideas into action - you will get clarity and influence from this programme.

Last Lecture by Randy Pausch is an inspiring novel that makes you want to be a better person. Its an autobiography of Randy, dad of 3, who is dying from cancer. His novel is a collection of all the lessons hes learned and wishes to pass on to those around him, especially his kids.
  I loved every chapter in this book. Randy had such a positive outlook on life and made me want to live my life better. He accomplished so much in the little time he had, including writing this book. My favorite part was chapter 13, The Man in the Convertible. Despite his illness, Randy still found joy in the little things in life, like riding in his convertible with the top down. One of his coworkers saw him driving and shared what she saw with Randy, and that was him being content and happy in the moment. He said Robbee had come upon me in an unguarded moment. Id like to think she saw me as I am. She certainly saw me as I was that evening...She had given me a window into myself. I was still fully engaged. I still knew life was good. I was doing OK.
  There were very few things I did not enjoy about this book. One of them being that it rarely referenced his actual lecture. As you may or may not know, Randy delivered one final lecture before he passed away. While there is a video of the lecture on YouTube, I still wish it was incorporated into the book more. The book had great content, and I have yet to watch the lecture but im sure he covered similar topics. I just wish the book touched more on his actual lecture and why he chose to talk about what he did.
  Overall, I definitely recommend this book to practically anyone. Randy had a great way of expressing his thoughts and lessons in a way that can make sense to anyone. He teaches invaluable lessons that Im glad I was able to learn. I love what the book stands for and think that many people in this world can benefit from reading it.

I flew through this book, it was that good.  Since reading this book, I haven't stopped thinking about the decisions in Michael Singer's life. After reading this I was inspired to read Autobiography of a Yogi.  The Surrender Experiment is a quick, inspiring read.  It is well written and you keep reading to find out what his journey will lead to next.  Highly recommend this book.  I couldn't wait to have an acquaintance read it, so we could talk about it.

Great book, really inspiring.  You may not aspire to run like this man, but it's the journey that really inspires you.  It shows how much of being an athlete is mental.  I really liked the fact he did this on a plant-based diet, truly an inspiration.

I loved this book. It was not only an interesting read, but it also really did give practical, simple ways to do good in the world. It was inspirational to read about the creative ways that people have come together to help others.

REVIEW

 This is a wonderful inspirational read?  The author writes with such intense descriptions of hospitalization, diagnosis of brain tumors and long rehabilitation.  You get to go on a journey with a little humor and lots of honest.  The book is very uplifting and is a book for everyone, especially those with brain tumors to get and keep close by.  There are many scriptures and quotes that may help put a better perspective on the patient and also on the reader.  Sometimes it seems that there is no hope.  It is gone, never to be found again.  But the author has written a book that may help you find that  hope again and find that faith that you may have lost along the way.  I would love if everyone would pick up a copy of this book and keep it near to be read when you're feeling down.  You may find comfort.

 I received a complimentary copy of HALO FOUND HOPE, A Memoir from the author, Helo Matzelle and Litfuse  Publicity Tours for my view of the book.

I really enjoyed reading Unbinding the Heart. The author shares with the reader a collection of family stories and personal experiences that have directed and shaped her life.  Reading this book was easy, like sitting down for coffee with an dear friend and catching up for a few hours.  Agapi has a refreshing view of life instilled in her by her beloved Mother.  Everything does happen for a reason.  We may not always understand when we are in the moment, but we just need to Unbind our hearts and allow the changes throughout our lives.  This was an inspiring book that I will share with a few dear friends.

I enjoyed reading this inspiring book! Although it is conversationally written, complex issues like spirituality and love are routinely referenced throughout. I could easily identify with the author's range of emotion as I flipped the pages; joy,  sorrow, peace.  The author's clever word choices and interesting perspective on life make for an interesting read.

No doubt you'll also be encouraged as you read Conversations from a Quest for Divine. I look forward to the next volume.

This book empowered my thoughts in many ways. First and foremost, it is a truly inspiring story of a man's faith in God's directions - despite his own strong fears. Pastor Pat clearly explains in this book how he heard God's direction, questioned the path, struggled with logistics then surrendered to his faith and allowed God to manifest the solutions.
The path of service for Pastor Pat is generational poverty.  I learned more from his book than from the 30 years I have spent in my own work in this area. His perspectives have grown my compassion and understanding tremendously. He handles the issues of generational poverty with love and tenderness but also maintains a healthy regard for humor, which adds to the beauty of this wonderful book.

The book inspired me to be a better person and to consider my actions more thoroughly.  It was hard to put down, and is reassuring about death and what lies beyond.  I'm not sure what motivation the author would have had to make it up, so I hope she didn't; it is a wonderful read.

This book was a really engaging read that was both inspirational and based in principles. It's not exactly a self-help book, but it helps to read it as a reminder of those principles that underlie much of the success we see around us.

I think that is the distinctive aspect of this book. It's not just inspiration, and it's not a how-to success book. But with an entertaining writing style, the author reveals and describes principles that can change the way you think about things.

This book was a great read - inspiring, interesting, and informative as it addresses questions we all face about God and how and why He does what He does.  The author comes from her own experiences as God walks her through numerous trials and suffering and through it all, becomes more real and personal to her as she faces the trying circumstances with which she is confronted.  It was hard to put down because she is able to draw in her readers and make them feel as it they were walking right there with her and having the same feelings and thoughts.  She does not pretend to have all the answers about God but she does not run from the hard questions or confusing experiences.  She is honest and real as she defends her intimate relationship with God and her spiritual journey.

This was a great read on inspiration and motivation.  The author uses examples from his life to show us how ordinary people impacted him.  These were people he grew up with, people from his college days, from his work, his business, and just from pretty much anywhere.  He shares stories about moments when he thought he knew everything just to realize that he still has a lot to learn.

The author lays it out with utmost honesty, his failures, misunderstandings, and his cockiness at times.  Then, tells us how the people he met taught him to come back from failure, how to undo misunderstandings, and how to be humble.  He doesnt tell anyone how to do anything.  What he does is remind us that we are human and we will often make mistakes but that we should not be too hard on ourselves and keep trying.  His examples teach us that we should ask questions and talk to the people around us because they too have gone through many things in life and can help us in our troubles.

I found the author to be intriguing.  Hes a strong-willed person and never gives up.  He persevered and had this need to keep learning and keep finding answers.  I believe that was the hidden message behind this book.  He doesnt tell us who to be, but rather, he shows us by showing how he overcame many things.

This is a book that everyone should read.  Its short and written simply so that its easily understandable. It can also be used as a reference for those moments when life just isn't going the way you had hoped.
