I thought this book was great. From the moment I bought it I couldn't put it down. The details are great and keep you wanting more. I can't wait until the sequel comes out.

After getting hooked into the 'trailer' type of music, TSfH was one of the first groups that I investigated. I listened to the music on a stream, I ordered several albums. And I wasn't disappointed. Invincible is as forceful as the name. Non-stop heraldic music segments all through the album. Great motivational stuff.. but I can only give it four stars because it is so non-stop. After a while I had to either turn it down or turn it off.. while very good, it started to grind on me. Great stuff for background or driving music.. but you have to be in the mood to be beat over the head with the force of the album!

Resistance 2 offers alot from everyone from the casual to the hardcore gamer.

This game is just too much fun.

It can be challenging and frustrating though, making you want to turn it off and try another day. Once you get past those parts of the game, you feel accomplished and overall you had fun doing it.

The campaign is extremely long (I mean this in a good way).

Online gaming is fun too, the 60 player matches can be quite something. No lag issues, even though I live in Germany.

Great Game. A++

You will never think this much about resistance and fear as much as you will when you read this book. Enjoyed the time spent in this, the themes are worth it. The challenge to buck against resistance and fear is a great one to be precise.

This is a book that should not be taken lightly.  It's brutal in it's honesty and the methods are tried and true.  To seduce, is to chance, corner and conquer.  You may not like that; but that's seduction in its brutality.

If you watch how some people are successful in seduction, they intuitively use some or all these methods.  Some of them are quite cruel and manipulative; but this will also teach you the signs so that you won't be taken advantage of.

Don't pan this book so easily until you've actually read it.

Do Hard Things: A Teenage Rebellion Against Low Expectations by Alex and Brett Harris is an inspiring and challenging book.  The premise of the book revolves around the idea that our culture has virtually no expectations for teenagers beyond the pursuit of pleasure.  While culture at large views adolescence as the time to revel in gratifying childish desires, Alex and Brett Harris counter that adolescence is  the very time when people should begin to put childishness behind them.  The Harris brothers argue that the teenage years are the perfect time to step up, to take challenges, to do mighty things for God's glory, and they back up their assertion with inspiring examples of teenagers who have done just that: taken a risk for God and watched as He has used them to make a difference in the world.

I loved this book.  Its message is timely and caused me to consider afresh what hard things I can do for God.  Part of the beauty of the message of this book is that Alex and Brett define "hard" not just as "huge," though hard things may be that for some people, but they also define "hard" as being disciplined in doing the right thing, such as practicing Godly disciplines in a consistent manner.  We all are called to do hard things for God, and, regardless of our ages, we need to step up and then watch God work.

When there is light, you will never see darkness the same.

But it takes more courage than most have just to read it.

Author uses her own resistance to facing vulnerability as a way readers can relate to the authentic struggles everybody will face.

G.N Braun's memoir will hook the reader. Hammered is a hard story written in an easy to read, direct style. The ability of the narrator to persevere grips you. This is more than a memoir about the reckless, desperate pursuit of drugs. There is a stoic calm to the narration. This is a man determined to tell his story. And it's worth reading because that early sense of tenacity that the reader senses in Braun wins through.

A little hard starting but once, you get past the repeating. It is so compelling to make you dig in to the truth of the word even more.

Whatever it is that you know deep down you should be doing, Mr. Pressfield has some tough love to administer in your interest.  He labels the enemy, "resistance" and exposes that enemy in its various forms then proceeds to let you know that he knows exactly what's wrong with you - you are a coward.  That's right, in the end, it is giving into resistance in one form or another that stops you from living your potential.  Whether you are a writer, painter, software designer, whatever your calling may be, it is resistance that is beating you and you may not even know it.  Mr. Pressfield, in Marine Corps fashion, will expose the enemy within and then let you know he will not tolerate excuses any longer.  Let Mr. Pressfield tear into your resistance and help you get on track to what you were meant to be.  Very well done, marine.

This is a book that has received mixed reviews by readers.  Some perhaps are insulted about it's hand-holding approach, others perhaps are offended by its "overly ying" encouragement for expressing emotions.
I can only say that I related fully with this book.  It confronted me with my resistance, and encouraged me gently to face up to it.  My immediate reaction was wishing the people around me had also read this book, because it was still very difficult speaking with them about dispelling the rat-race mentality.  Being from Latin America, the tendency to pigeonhole people around their first career is much stronger than in industrialized countries, which makes the pressures against changing careers that much greater.
My only regret with this one is having lent it out too soon, after reading through it only once, but I was in that much of a hurry to share the inspiration!
The lessons from the book, in any case, have stayed with me, more than 5 years after reading it.  I still suggest some of the exercises from it on ocassion, to to loved ones who can't quite face up to their displeasure with their "established" careers.
I am tempted to buy another copy soon, to hand over once again. I kind of like the feeling of seeing my friends getting started on their own gentle awakenings.

Those of us who have learned a lot about manifesting over the years, can testify that sometimes resistance is actually one of the biggest components of the process.  A lot of the time one might not even be totally aware what stands in the way.  This book defines topics that could help one navigate the most stubborn areas of resistance.  It is right to the point. It gives one a flashlight to make the darkest corners of thought more recognizable in motion.  I liked this book a lot.  Even though I have studied this topic for decades, this was food for thought.

One doesn't have to be a Masoist to be able to read and enjoy this book, but one must be able to tolerate an intense degree of repetition. Her other books such as "The American Woman in the Chinese Hat" or "Art Lover" are more accessible, if you consider her writing accessible at all or too accessible. I happen to find her literary style easily approachable.

Defiance is high-strung in content and style. Like gripping a viola too tightly around its neck for 19 hours straight on the edge of a precipice. I imagined it must have been quite a challenge and a feat for Maso to write this book and a challenge for readers to consume.

I love the song and video, OVERCOMER, because it reminds me of the Word of God in 1 John 4:4 "You have overcome... because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world."

When times are tough, it's uplifting to know that God has your back. It's great to have Mandisa sing your through the tough times.
