A fantastic shade garden book. Mr Druse's writing and photographs are both inspirational and extremely informative. He combines practical know how, environmental concern and beautiful garden design into a book that I know that I shall reference for many years to come. Highly recommend.

This book came highly recommended to me by many of my friends as they found it paired with Misquoting Jesus. I found this book to be very informative, inspiring, and fascinating. The author articulates himself very well, he writes in a manner that someone without any Godly experience will find this book easy to read, and the amount of information easy to understand I highly recommend this book!

This book is an inspirational story of courage, intelligence, and resiliency. As you read it, you'll continually be amazed at Ping and her accomplishments.
 I am not interested in having people dissect every sentence in the book for its factual accuracy. I have a feeling that there is something else brewing under the surface for them.
 This book would appeal to readers of many ages and interests.  Young people would be inspired by her "never give up" attitude.  Anyone interested in the explosion of technology over the last 30 years would enjoy reading about some of the early applications and progressions.  Students of history would enjoy this personal view of the dramatic changes that have taken place in China over the last 60 years.  All of us who read it can't help but feel tremendous admiration for the life Ping Fu has lead.

I wasn't sure if I would enjoy this book at first, never having been one to read 'self help' books, but I have found this both fascinating and inspiring. Part memoir, part inspirational, Sylvia Valevicus tells of her life as an immigrant child in a large, largely careless family in Canada. In her early life, she and her brothers had to fend for themselves, working and earning money to help the family prosper, but later life improved materially, although not emotionally. Sylvia starts adult life with the handicaps of lack of education, teenage pregnancy and emotional starvation. With these crosses, she slowly learns how to deal with life and become full of hope, resilience and inspiration by her change in attitude. Ultimately an academic with a great teaching career, she shows how even as a late bloomer, it can be done. As she says, you can dip in and out of this book, but it is never dull. Full of photos of her life, quotes from literature and her own wisdom, it is a compelling read that I too have found inspiring. I just wish I'd read it earlier!

I enjoyed the book immensely and would recommend it to any woman who is going through gender orientation struggles and issues.  This book offered a wide variety of voices from women of various backgrounds in different situations. This book included stories describing the joys and sorrows of what it is like to be seen as a married heterosexual woman and then what it is like to embrace life as a lesbian.  I was impressed by the quality of writing and the women who wrote their stories.  It is inspirational, touching and informative.  It helped me to understand that my human needs and desires are normal. Other women might benefit from knowing this as well - whether they are hetero or not.  To me, this demonstrates how many women crave a deep love connection with another individual and shows the challenges that they face as they search to find this emotional and sexual satisfaction with men.

Liisa Vexlar is a wealth of information, and her book provides specifics, but without ever making you, as the reader, feel overwhelmed by the details.  She offers a lot of advice and insider tips.  But most of all, her book has inspired me to create freedom for our family also.  This book helps you to organize a big change, think practically, and plan responsibly, but without forgetting that this is also the stuff that dreams are made of and to enjoy the adventure along the way.  Liisa has also been extremely helpful in answering my follow-up questions. I highly recommend this book to anyone seriously taking steps towards change, and also to those who just want to dream about it!

I found this book fascinating and very inspiring.  The women profiled came from diverse backgrounds and followed different paths to achieve positions of power and influence.  The barriers they encountered along the way are seen more as learning experiences, and thus the book has a very positive and constructive message for all women who are facing similar challenges.  I highly recommend this book for any woman who is looking to have an impact in public health or similar non-profit field.

I highly recommend this book. It was inspiring and enjoyable to read the stories of these nine remarkable women and to be reminded of what is possible in terms of human consciousness. They are shining examples of how the Divine enters life through the human form and brings Truth and love to uplift humanity. They demonstrate how the Self helps its many expressions of itself in human form to evolve in this very difficult dimension. I also really appreciated that this book included their teachings, which are valuable as a source of contemplation and add to the breadth of this book. Timothy Conway's love and respect for the Divine Mother is apparent in every page.

As a new initiate I found the book both informative and inspirational. I believe in my heart that all faiths are designed to elevate us to our higher selves and ultimately to God. 'Finding Soul on the Path of Orisa' provides some powerful insights that will help you on that journey. I recommend this book to anyone, regardless of faith, you won't regret it.

The Rescue by Jim Cymbala with Ann Spangler is an inspirational book that is certainly worth your time and money. It is a quick read, but is packed with some extremely powerful stories of people going through immeasurable hardships. Each individual account reveals a season of difficulties and trials in their life. Each chapter is a new story and is narrated by the person in much the same way as an autobiography.  (I liked this type of presentation, as it gave a depth of authenticity that would not have been there otherwise.)

The beauty of each chapter is revealed in the end, as the reader discovers that the answer to each of their circumstances is the rescuing power of Jesus Christ. Some of the stories within the book are very difficult to read. They're perspectives are full of such darkness that frankly, I had to put it down and take a break occasionally, because the depth of despair is a bit overwhelming. Pushing through to see how Christ brings His redemptive love to the dilemma is the reward, however, and is undeniably worth it!

Thank you to Zondervan & Handlebar Publishing for this review copy of The Rescue. The opinions within this review are my own. I was not required to write a positive review, only to provide an honest assessment of this work.

This book gives valuable insight into the pitfalls and successes of being a business owner. Daniel uses his personal real life experience to provide a fantastic guide into how to succeed as a entrepreneur. This book is inspiring and inspirational as well as a testament to the fact that if you believe, work hard and have a strong why then you can achieve high levels of success. Very easy read with great advice!

I am glad I selected this book, it is a good read. I read this book in 4 days, over 200 pages. It is inspirational and educational at the same time. Sometime, you hate to choose books based on title,because it is very deceiving, but I am glad to state this was not the case for me. I thoroughly enjoyed the read and wish a sequel was made. I am inspired from this book to protect myself and share what I have learned with others. It is important to use your instinct and do not waiver your rights to intentionally be secure in every decision. If you are seeking a book that will keep your interest and inspire you to do better this book is for you..its a good read, a specific nugget of wisdom you can take with you as you continue to learn and love in life.
