This is another one of those books that once I have read a passage to someone THEY WANT to take my book.  I have given away not less than 6 copies and I read it all the time to refresh myself.  Clarke Moustakas KNOWS the mind, the body and the SOUL of we things called Humans!  A classic book written by a wonderful insightful mind and it can be read over & over & over and it seems to heal my heart when things go terrible wrong.  As the saying goes "When your life gets tougher,  we must become Stronger.  Get more than one copy of this book if you can still find it in print because I guarantee you will want to share this wisdom in this book.

This is  simply a wonderful book. It really gives you a lot to think about. The way we think about ourselves, the way we think about others, the way we think about God and how all of those are interrelated. Of course over all it is a beautifully written spiritual book based on two books: The Course in Miracles and Disappearance of the Universe by Gary Renard. I was not familiar with either of those books and you don't have to be. Journey is philosophical, spiritual, with lots of background history and even a little romance thrown in. It is an enlightening, fun read. It's one of those books you start and read right to the end! Kudos to you, Dr. Acuff, fine job!

I haved loved this book for sometime. I was recently introduced to it again, while watching the HBO film, Wit with Emma Thompson.

She is dying from cancer & an old colleague visits her in the hospital & proceeds to read the book to her. I had forgotten what a great book it is.  The story is simple & straightforward:

a mother's unconditional love.  No matter what, she will love her child. This book is a timeless classic & a worthy addition to any child's collection.

Dr. Peale's timeless classic provides insights that offer practical help for daily living.  Though written about 60 years ago, the insights are amazingly up to date.  One can see, for instance, the patterns and practices of the "mindfulness" movement in Dr. Peale's book.  We've used it in our Church Book Club, and find it richly rewarding.  The bigger print in this edition offers a tremendous improvement over the tiny print in previous editions.  Highly recommended.

This is one of my favorite books. It is in my opinion one of those books that talks to everyone who reads it in a selective and different way. Meaning that the messages that I learn out of the book may not be the same for you. Which is what makes this book so great. If I were to pick it up today it would mean different than the last time that I read it. Because of this particular and special quality, this is a book that you will find yourself revisiting. I highly recommend this book and I bet that after you read the book that you will soon be recommending this book to someone also. Enjoy!

This book is for the philosophically inclined, and somehow I never quite got into it.  I found myself enjoying the events in the book (especially the traveling), rather than the abstractions and ponderings of the author.  However, it's probably a classic for the latter items rather than the former.  I can see why people like it so much, and it is very well written and timeless, but it's not my cup of tea.

I've had the good fortune to hear Matt Emmens talk about the lessons he's learned as a leader in many companies and most recently as CEO of Shire Pharmaceuticals.  He's distilled his wisdom & experience into a magical fable of what it is like to see business through new eyes, and how the traditions & emotions that harden some companies into places they never meant to be can be overcome by leadership that dares to try what is obvious & necessary, whatever resistance may stand in the way.  It would be a great book to give to new hires to encourage them to tell the truth about what they see to management.  It is an equally great book for senior leaders to think about what they would need to cultivate "beginner's mind" in what they do, and as a result to lead better and more fully.  Beautifully illustrated, lovingly written & a pleasure on the whole.

The cover is wonderfully symbolic.  I like the way it is also used to introduce the different chapters, the Ten Journeys, by name, subtitle, quote from Genesis, and related quote.
The concept of seeing Abraham-s 10 tests as representing The Ten Journeys of Life is truly inspired.  The book-s subtitles, Walking the Path of Abraham and A Guide to Being Human, tell the reader clearly what the book-s about and serve as gentle, friendly, almost irresistible invitations to come along.
Each of the chapters delivers what it promises.  The chapters are filled with valuable insights, grounded in deep, personal experience and the best of our Jewish tradition and way of life.  The midrashic stories, personal anecdotes and apt quotes, found in each chapter, bring added dimension to your own profound comments and reflections.
The book is beautifully written, with classic simplicity, clarity and economy.  It is deeply moving and meaningful.  It is skillfully and masterfully written so that anyone can understand it and benefit from it.  The words are bridges, not obstacles.  This book reminds me of the highly regarded, timeless classic,  Basic Judaism, by Rabbi Milton Steinberg.  The Ten Journeys of Life/Walking the Path of Abraham/A Guide to Being Human is in the same league.
As the author of a current, provocative biblical novel titled Abraham, the Dreamer/An Erotic and Sacred Love Story, I was especially delighted to read Rabbi Gold-s  book. The books are different in concept and content.  Hopefully they will lead to insight and inspiration.

This book is a classic, written by a history professor who wished that his history books were as widely read as this. This book probably started as an amusing pastime and had such success in the 1970s and beyond that his author unwittingly became a celebrity. Full of fine humor, many erudite citations from literature to illustrate his points and many insights into the Spanish soul, it is a delightful read all around. Just to give you an idea, Pride (soberbia) is the longest chapter, followed by Lust (lujuria). Avarice is only a few pages!

Although this book was written a very long time ago...the advice and suggestions in it are timeless! I completely enjoyed it and will probably read it again and again to renew it fresh in my mind continually.

A very insightful and well-written book fusing Stoicism, Psychology, and Psychotherapy.
Mr. Robertson has done an excellent job of researching a huge topic and making it understandable.
He hits on many of the same points that Jules Evans's great book  does: The Ancient Art of Auto-suggestion and memorization of key aphorisms
He shows how the ancients thoughts are surprisingly relevant to our modern problems and challenges.

In every generation there's at least One Book that becomes a MUST READ for those who want to know how to live life! IN THIS GENERATION Dr. Glen Hepker's "A GLIMPSE of HEAVEN IS THAT & much, much more! Within the pages of this book are found profound but easy to understand and implement trans-formative thoughts on love, kindness, civility, and more. Then as one understands how acting in accordance with the ideals espoused within can... and will transform an ordinary life to extraordinary one without one having to change so much as grow in compassion and kindness, I believe the  reader will experience joy they had hitherto not known!

Always writing about choices and how God can help us change, Paula Rose Michelson wrote the Amazon Best Selling Christian self-help book "How Did We Become Angry?" That book and her three sweet Christian fictions with a Messianic twist and a hint of history: "Beginning Anew: The Naomi Chronicles" and "Casa de Naomi: The House of Blessing, Books One and Two", are available on Amazon.

Thomas Watson is one of the most readable of all the puritans.  This particular work is one of his finest.  This work has an insightful chapter on the relationship to love and commandment.  This is a concept that is lost on today's church goer.  The modern mind thinks that love and command are mutually exclusive.  Biblically they are necessarily related.

In the exposition of the commands, Watson not only tells you the meaning of each commandment, but how it can be used in practical terms.  This is a work you will want to use over and over again.  This book is great for pastors, Sunday school teachers or Bible study leaders.  This is a great tool.  See also Watson's volume on the Lord's Prayer which is also a classic and his work The Body of Divinity which is his exposition of the Westminster Shorter Catechisim.

Truly, if you are interested in this intriguing area, then this book should be on your reading list. Ursula Demarmels' book, quite popular in Europe, has now been translated into English. Excellent. I highly recommend Spiritual Regression for Peace & Healing: Discover Your Life Mission Through Past Life Exploration and for many reasons. Ursula Demarmels has done a great job of explaining a complex and mysterious subject. Many millions are fascinated by the subject of reincarnation, and this wise expert from Switzerland has opened up this topic to millions via her popular television programs. She has decades of experience, a gentle touch, a calming voice and enchanting stories. She mixes personal insights, philosophical perspectives and case studies to back up her assertions.
One can learn a lot in these pages. From timely lessons of love lost and found, to the results of karma and present circumstances, and on to simple reminders to be kind to animals and care for this lovely earth, this book is a thoughtful contribution to life and living. Along the way one can soar with spiritual guides, loving and wise beings, and higher views of life on this planet, and beyond.
Once you take in the ideas, stories and inspiration within this book, you will most likely want to experience your own past life regression; and Ursula Demarmels then gives practical advice on how to approach this topic on your own. Enjoy.

This is an excellent book and gives the reader some wonderful insights.  Ernest Holmes is a marvelous writer and makes understanding life and oneself a continuing growing experience.
