I don't often write reviews, good or bad, but my wife bought me, "Motivation to Move" and for the last 3 months, I've religiously gone to the gym. It's strange to think that something so easy is so effective.

Product Description:
Ready to look and feel great?Go for it!
Wake up each morning - looking forward to exercising! Imagine how exciting it will be to see your body change, as your muscles begin to firm and unwanted fat cells melt away!
Beverly Hills Hypnosis' exercise motivation CDs can actually help change the way you think about exercising.You can begin associating exercise with relaxation or a long awaited break in your day -- the special time that you take for yourself.As this happens, you will find that you are eager to begin your exercise routine.Sounds crazy?Not at all.Some people look forward to cigarettes, while others look forward to eating chocolate or French fries.When we change the way we think, our attitudes change as well.
You can wake up each day and really be excited about doing things that make you look and feel great.
When you listen to Beverly Hills Hypnosis' exercise motivation CD each night before going to sleep, not only will you look forward to your exercise routine you will start to enjoy it.
Why is "Motivation to Move!" so effective?
By creating direct access to the most powerful part of the mind, the subconscious, you can teach your subconscious mind to automatically act in the ways that best suit your goals, rather than relying on poor habits that you've built up over the years.
When you align what you consciously desire with your subconscious motivations...your possibilities are endless!
Can everyone be hypnotized?
Yes.Have you ever been driving a familiar route home and suddenly arrived at your destination without remembering the last few minutes of the drive?This is one example of our subconscious mind taking over the routine details of life. Our subconscious mind handles most of our day to day activities.That is the subconscious mind's job - to handle the details of life, while our conscious mind handles the more important needs.
Most clients are amazed at how quickly they accomplish their desired results.Unlike traditional therapies, Hypnotherapy is able to help you reach your goals without going through years of self-exploration.
When You Are Ready!
Reach your goals faster than ever!You can and will make permanent, positive changes in your personal and professional life.Beverly Hills Hypnosis offers an effective, relaxing, drug-free choice for change.

The Foster's Market Cookbook: Favorite Recipes for Morning, Noon, and Night (Hardcover) Review

Comments: (0)
Sara Foster's "Foster's Market Cookbook" is a hands-down winner.She combines a comfortable manner with comfort food galore--usually comfort food with just enough of a twist to make it new and interesting.Granny Foster's Refrigerator Rolls (which keep for an amazing two weeks in the fridge if you want to put off baking them) are highly recommended!
In addition to featuring terrific, simple, delicious recipes, the layout of the book makes it a breeze to read.It's amazing to me how many cookbooks are actually sort of hard to follow when it comes to the directions, but this one isn't.The design is attractive and the font easy to read.Each recipe direction is numbered--a wonderful thing if you happen to look away and lose your place.For the most part, each recipe is complete on a single page and when this is not the case, the recipe is usually complete on the facing page.This makes following the recipes a breeze.This one is a keeper.

Okay, since so many have been so critical.I felt that I had to write.This is the largest and most complete Korean cookbook written in English so far.There are other cookbooks, with pictures in English but they usually only cover a few recipes.This one covers a lot.I was quite surprised.When I looked at some of the recipes, I originally thought that it was too simple or that it was lacking.But as many Native Koreans realize there is a lot of minor variations in the ingredients that people use anyway.I tried many of the recipes in the book and found them to be quite good and pretty authentic.In Korean cooking, you have to taste as you go along.This book has a good underlying taste that it is trying to create.Overall, this is a stable cookbook for those Korean Americans who want to have a ready resource to help one get started on learning to cook.(Without asking your mom =)Remember, if you really want it to turn out right, ask someone Korean and whose cooking you like, what ingredients they used and in what proportion since everyone improvises a little or adds things that make it right for their taste, usually adding more sugar, salt, garlic, and or vinegar.Good luck!

As somebody who wanted the history of 7/7, I was a bit displeased.Especially with no bibliography in the back plus the quality of the writing, I sure hope somebody else takes on documenting 7/7.It was, without a doubt, a key point in British history.
That said, the book serves as an interesting quick read.

this is an interesting and very personal book talking about one womans journey through different spiritual endeavours and the struggles she encounters to "find" who she really is. A very good read
Click Here to see more reviews about: The Practice of Presence: Five Paths for Daily Life [Paperback]
Product Description:
Discover practical guidance on how to contact your own inner truth from the seminal ideas of five great spiritual paths.
The Practice of Presence: Five Paths for Daily Life, is about making a new start by coming alive to this present moment, wherever we are, without changing our conditions. It is in the present that we will find meaning and heal the wounds caused by hate, violence and the suffering that is an inevitable part of life. By practicing attention to our own presence we can learn to receive in a new way everything that comes toward us -- the demands, the seductions, the possibilities for joy and nurture.
In The Practice of Presence the reader will find practical guidance on how to seek daily what we truly desire behind all the urgencies and obligations of our lives: contact with our own immediate inner truth. The book contains the seminal ideas and experiential activities of five great spiritual paths as seen through the lens of a seeker s experience. T ai Chi, prayer and meditation are well known. The Alexander Technique and Jungian studies are not usually thought of as spiritual, and the Gurdjieff teaching is relatively unknown.
Each of these paths to wholeness is complementary to the others, calling on the body, mind and feeling in unique ways that can lead to a growing integration of all three. The author, Patty de Llosa, has studied all of these paths intensively for many years, while pursuing fulltime activities as a journalist, parent and teacher. Her website is practiceofpresence.com.
Said Spirituality and Practice magazine, "Llosa is especially qualified to write about work for presence in the midst of an active life. She has been engaged in the Gurdjieff teaching all her life, having met the enigmatic philosopher as a child in the 30 s and 40 s, and has taught Gurdjieff s sacred dances and led groups for more than forty years in Peru, Chile, Canada and New York. She is now one of the senior leaders of the New York Gurdjieff Foundation. Prayer and meditation have been integral to her exploration of the world s religions from an early age, and she has studied and taught Tai Chi several evenings a week since l963, first in Lima, Peru (including a special class for Karate blackbelts), then in New York since l979. She has studied Jungian psychology some thirty years and undergone a Jungian analysis. More recently she worked intensively with Jungian analyst Marion Woodman in her Body/Soul Rhythms programs."

Early in the morning a little bird begins to sing - which wake up the entire Fish Street population, one by one. As everyone begins to arise - who will be last to wake up? A fine story of sleeping in and early risers invites kids to understand differences in sleep patterns - and to enjoy the zany story of animals who like to rise at different times, and in different ways.

Like an earlier reviewer, I also own the four-volume set of the Liturgy of the Hours.I do enjoy the additional readings and the somewhat nerdy activity of finding my way around the complete liturgy. But for pure prayer value, "Shorter Christian Prayer" is the book.It has the entire four-week psalter for the key prayers of the day, Morning Prayer and Evening Prayer, as well as the same Night Prayers as the larger volumes. What it is missing are the special readings and intercessions for feasts and memorials--but even those special days are built around the same psalms printed here.For me, on my commute, Shorter Christian Prayer is less distracting and much nicer in the hand than the standard Christian Prayer or Liturgy of the Hours.It has larger print than either.It has the gospel canticles printed on the inside covers, a brilliant idea.Plus it is a LOT cheaper.

Works of Henry Rider Haggard. King Solomon's Mines, The People of the Mist, She, Cleopatra, The Virgin of the Sun, Allan Quatermain series, Morning Star, ... & more. Published by MobileReference (mobi)
Haggard has received a lot of latter-day disdain for his imperialism and paternalistic descriptions of native cultures. But he was just writing what he knew in the flavor of the time. And boy, could he spin a yarn. These are old-school adventure stories with a dash of fantasy, well-written and possessed of a level of feeling beyond mere derring-do.

I have a slightly different version of this book - it has a picture of a little boy hugging the moon instead of the boy and his mother on the cover. It is a sweet bedtime ritual, with just the right amount of text on each page in a flowing rhyme style that children will soon learn off by heart. I would recommend this book for children 2 - 6 years of age, especially children with fears of the dark or monsters or of just being alone at bedtime. I was very impressed with the cover of this book, there is no dust jacket to get torn and neither is it made of cardboard that would soon get creased with use. The poem ends with the promise of "...and I'll see you in the morning".

Puppet Scripts for Sunday Mornings [Spiral-bound] Review
A great resource for any Puppet Ministry!Joan M. Sercl gives tips on how to introduce your new puppet(s), voice suggestions, memorization tips, list of puppet resources, ideas for quick stage ideas, and an easy-to-use tableof contents sorted by month (i.e. Dec. includes puppet skits on Christmas). Even if you've already gotten started, this book includes 52scripturally-based skits that Joan M. Sercl has written with theventriloquist in mind.So, you're not a ventriloquist, . . . I'm noteither, AND the book is great.Joan suggests that you -- use yourimagination!We've done exactly that by adapting some of the scripts forseveral puppets (to involve more teenage volunteers). The message in thePurple Glove skit (easily performed with dyed gloves) is worth the price ofthe book alone.

When members of the surviving old guard of surrealism declared the movement over (Le Monde, October 1969), there were many dissenters.International adherents to the idea that surrealism is a state of mind rather than a historical movement affirmed their continued loyalty to its revolutionary principles.Löwy locates these at the intersection of Marxism and anarchism, a mix that aims to pose a counterweight to capitalist rationalism and disenchantment (Max Weber) by re-enchanting the world.Myth, poetry, art created in a spirit of revolt by the unleashing of the forces of dream and the unconscious--these have been liberatory gestures and practices that are common to the subjects of Löwy's engaging essays, from Benjamin to Debord, from Pierre Naville to Vincent Bouonore and Claude Cahun.
The recent collapse of many capitalist institutions has exposed the false rationality on which those institutions were based and we are left with a world that is not only disenchanted but chaotic, a world in which many of the predictions of the Communist Manifesto have been borne out in devastating ways.Löwy's fascinating book invites us to the positive labor of "re-enchantment," providing models for active engagement and stimulus for further reading.
An appealing feature of this volume is the presence of art work by many of Löwy's international surrealist friends, as well as some of his own works.The art work also comprises many contributions by women surrealists--the Prague surrealist Eva Svankmajerova and the Canadian Marie S.(alias "Ingatta") whose "illuminated envelopes" are beguiling contributions to mail art.By themselves, these point to a salient aspect of present-day surrealism--the presence of impressive women artists and writers.A whole chapter is dedicated to the surrealist artist Ody Saban, a welcome addition from the French edition.

Product Description:
An expanded edition of revered theorist Michael Löwy's Morning Star: Marxism and Surrealism (previously published in French, Portuguese, Spanish, Italian, and Greek), this masterwork collects the author's essays on the ways in which surrealism intersected with a variety of revolutionary political approaches, ranging from utopian ideals to Marxism and situationism. Taking its title from André Breton's essay"Arcane 17," which casts the star as the searing firebrand of rebellion, Löwy's provocative work spans many perspectives. These include surrealist artists who were deeply interested in Marxism and anarchism (Breton among them), as well as Marxists who were deeply interested in surrealism (Walter Benjamin in particular).Probing the dialectics of innovation, diversity, continuity, and unity throughout surrealism's international presence, Morning Star also incorporates analyses of Claude Cahun, Guy Debord, Pierre Naville, José Carlos Mariátegui and others, accompanied by numerous reproductions of surrealist art. An extraordinarily rich collection, Morning Star promises to ignite new dialogues regarding the very nature of dissent.

I am an early childhood educator, and I love this book. It teaches about nature, habitat diversity, and music. Kids can really get involved making bird sounds, and it is a great addition to a lesson about bird calls.
Good for children ages 4-10.

Car Talk Car Tunes: CD [Abridged][Audiobook] (Audio CD) Review
We love listening to the Car Guys and have always gotten a kick out of the music that animates their program breaks. Finding all these car and truck songs were on cd was not only a must for us but as a present for a friend as well. Performers you probably never heard of singing eccentric off the wall songs that make you chuckle as you drive in your own car. Some are not as fun as others and a couple even quite hard to decipher. But overall, it's a great cd and a pretty original gift.

Harold Schindler's biography on Mormon bad-boy Orrin Porter Rockwell is still the best biography of Rockwell out there. Moreover, it may be one of the best biographies of any early Mormon written. This book is not even so much about the quiet, enigmatic Rockwell as it is the genesis of an American religious movement.
Rockwell is a hard historical figure. He is a legendary figure whom the LDS church has tended to whitewash. Non-Mormon historians have had a tendency to villify him, making him a murderer and a theif. Somewhere, undoubtedly in the middle, lies the truth. Instead of writing an indictment or an apology for his life, Schindler writes a well-balanced account of Rockwell's life. He doesn't necessarily try to provide answers or justifications, only gives the facts and lets the reader decide. No doubt Schindler's objectivity and meticulous research has made this volume stand the test of time to become a classic in Mormon history.
I don't think I have ever said this about a book before: Probably just as engaging and interesting as the book itself are the footnotes which sometimes take up more of the page than the text. This is an awesome bibliographic reference as well. Not only does Schindler tell you about the life and times of Rockwell, he also tells many fascinating historical asides. If you don't believe or are suspcious about his research, then one may look at the documents he was viewing. Schindler does an excellent job of backing up most everything that he says.

Spurgeon's material in "Morning and Evening" is excellent.This is not a review of his work.It is however a review of this particular edition.
Whitaker House has offered up an abridged version of the content and has done a very poor job of proofing it.I have found the book difficult to read, not because I have problems with British sentence structure of over a century ago, but because I often have to re-read a sentence to parse what it was supposed to say due to mistakes in typesetting or typographical errors.
Here is a sample from the February 24th morning reading, "He usually give it in such a measure that there is not room to receive it," or "'As thy day, so shall they strength be.'"(That should be "gives" and "thy strength".)This reads like your average 13-year-old's Internet post, not like the writing of a well-educated man of God that was published by someone that cared about what was being said.
My advice?Look for a better copy.

Product Description:
A wealth of Biblical teaching from Spurgeon. He meditates on two portions of scripture each day with applications that are very relevant for contemporary Christians. Spurgeon's characteristically pithy comments hit home with a wit and elegance rarely found in other writing. Spurgeon was, primarily, a pastor and this shows with the concern he shows here for the hearts of the reader. Christians, young and old, will find his comments challenging, stimulating and direct. This edition is in a high quality diary style finish, with a gilt page edging, a presentation page and a bookmark.
This is the most complete and unabridged version available of the best-selling Morning and Evening devotions. The luxury finish makes an excellent gift for a business associate, graduate or relative.

Quotations and sayings from all paths of spiritual wisdom. From'Abundance' to 'Zoroastrianism,' the 509 topics are arranged alphabetically.

A lovely little book, simply and beautifully written, which details a 15 minute morning workout that can really make a diference if practiced regularly.The accompanying CD will make sure one sticks to the timeframe :)The book is very nicely produced, hardback with ringbinding inside, so it lays flat, thus making it easier to look at the illustrations the first time thru.The writer gets into the philosophy of yoga simply and concisely, and even manages to give nice little explanations of the yoga sutras and an excellent guide to meditation.Oh - and the drawings and colours used are so cute!

Creating Circles & Ceremonies
By Oberon & Morning Glory Zell-Ravenheart
New Page Books, 2006
Review by Anodea Judith
Oberon Zell-Ravenheart and his wife, Morning Glory, have done it at last.Compiling decades of experience in creating rituals and ceremonies for all occasions, from the celebrations of the seasons to blessing your dinner or a new home, this book will provide ideas, information, theory, and practice to bring a sense of the sacred into everyday life.
Author of the acclaimed Grimoire for the Apprentice Wizard,Oberon has written a Pagan bible that every practitioner of magic and ritual will want to have on a shelf within easy reach. With spells, chants, invocations, herbal recipes, and more, you won't want to go through a moon cycle without using this book.
From my many years of working together with this magical couple in the Church of All Worlds, I am delighted that our vast treasury of Pagan liturgy has finally been written down.Collected from many contributors, this compilation brings together the best of the Pagan community in poetry and song, innovation and invocation, including our Magic 101 class that was offered for many years as a primer in magical training.
The wealth of information herein is divided into three smaller sections. Book I, "The Magic Circle" outlines the basic theory and practice of creating ceremonies, such as creating sacred space, calling the quarters, invoking spirits, deities, or helpers, and basic ritual etiquette.Book II, "Rites and Rituals" describes ceremonies for all occasions, including rites of passage, marriages, and initiations.Book III: "Wheel of the Year" then applies these principles to the eight seasonal holidays that mark the solstices, equinoxes, and cross-quarter days of the year. The final Appendices contain information you will use as a reference for years to come.
Lavishly illustrated with Oberon's unique artwork, this book is destined to be as classic a book for ritual recipes as "The Joy of Cooking" was to the culinary world.

Product Description:
Creating Circles and Ceremonies is the accumulation of decades of circles, ceremonies, rituals, Mystery plays, initiations, rites of passage, and other magickal workings co-created by the Zell-Ravenhearts, today's foremost Wizard/Witch couple.
For more than 30 years, Oberon and Morning Glory have traveled widely throughout the worldwide magickal community-participating in gatherings, conducting workshops, and creating rituals for groups large and small. They have met and made Magick with the leaders of many traditions: Celtic Shamanism, British Dianic, Italian Strega, Welsh Witchcraft, Faerie Trad, Ceremonial Magick, Ozark Druidry, the New Reformed Order of the Golden Dawn (NROOGD), Hinduism, Native American tribes, Greek and Egyptian mythology, and the futuristic Church of All Worlds.
Here, in one easy-to-read volume, is their collection of chants, invocations, circle-castings, quarter-callings, spells, and ceremonies. It is also a "kit" to use to assemble your own rituals, for any season or reason:
Book I presents a basic ritual outline. Each element is followed by numerous examples which may be "plugged in" to customize your own ceremony.
Book II gives numerous examples of actual ceremonies: Esbats (full Moons) and special occasions; Rites of Passage; Mysteries and Initiations; spells and consecrations.

By Oberon & Morning Glory Zell-Ravenheart
New Page Books, 2006
Review by Anodea Judith
Oberon Zell-Ravenheart and his wife, Morning Glory, have done it at last.Compiling decades of experience in creating rituals and ceremonies for all occasions, from the celebrations of the seasons to blessing your dinner or a new home, this book will provide ideas, information, theory, and practice to bring a sense of the sacred into everyday life.
Author of the acclaimed Grimoire for the Apprentice Wizard,Oberon has written a Pagan bible that every practitioner of magic and ritual will want to have on a shelf within easy reach. With spells, chants, invocations, herbal recipes, and more, you won't want to go through a moon cycle without using this book.
From my many years of working together with this magical couple in the Church of All Worlds, I am delighted that our vast treasury of Pagan liturgy has finally been written down.Collected from many contributors, this compilation brings together the best of the Pagan community in poetry and song, innovation and invocation, including our Magic 101 class that was offered for many years as a primer in magical training.
The wealth of information herein is divided into three smaller sections. Book I, "The Magic Circle" outlines the basic theory and practice of creating ceremonies, such as creating sacred space, calling the quarters, invoking spirits, deities, or helpers, and basic ritual etiquette.Book II, "Rites and Rituals" describes ceremonies for all occasions, including rites of passage, marriages, and initiations.Book III: "Wheel of the Year" then applies these principles to the eight seasonal holidays that mark the solstices, equinoxes, and cross-quarter days of the year. The final Appendices contain information you will use as a reference for years to come.
Lavishly illustrated with Oberon's unique artwork, this book is destined to be as classic a book for ritual recipes as "The Joy of Cooking" was to the culinary world.
Anodea Judith, author of Wheels of Life, and Waking the Global Heart

For more than 30 years, Oberon and Morning Glory have traveled widely throughout the worldwide magickal community-participating in gatherings, conducting workshops, and creating rituals for groups large and small.

Here, in one easy-to-read volume, is their collection of chants, invocations, circle-castings, quarter-callings, spells, and ceremonies. It is also a "kit" to use to assemble your own rituals, for any season or reason:

Full Moon Morning: A Shanghai Survivor's Story [Paperback] Review
John's story came to life vividly in Barbara Bitela's creative mind and hands.I was not aware of the German refugees in Shanghai during WWII. But Barbara starts the story in Germany giving a inside glimpse of the beginnings of the horrors, the narrow escapes of some, the denial of neighbors that ultimately leads to their demise, then on to the couragous story of John and his family.There were the cruelities of war of course but shining through were the strong Christian faith of the familytheir will to survive even when parted from each other, and the kindness of complete strangers, strangers from another culture.I couldn't stop turning the pages and when I finally did I thought: "wow, I wonder who will make this into a moving picture?

Fit in 15: 15-Minute Morning Workouts that Balance Cardio, Strength, and Flexibility (Paperback) Review
I am a working mother of two preschoolers, and I was gaining weight because I could no longer manage to fit my 1 1/2 hour gym workouts into my schedule. I bought a treadmill a few months ago (with a lot of help from treadmilldoctor.com) and I still couldn't fit in the 45 minutes I felt I needed to use it - maybe 3 or 4 times aweek - to replicate at least part of my gym workouts of yesteryear.
I will admit what appealed to me about this book is the 15 minute concept. Yes, I'm busy, but can I spare 15 minutes? I must be able to. Plus, the book doesn't give me that cop-out of "I'm too tired this morning. I'll do this after work," which then never happens. The 15 minutes are in the morning, and 15 minutes is not really all that much earlier to get up, so psychologically, I can handle it without too many excuses.
After using this plan, I have found the following:
1) I am able to stick to it
2) I am more energetic during the day after a morning workout
3) I'm seeing my body come back
As a bonus, I find I'm often motivated to go a little longer on the cardio in because, really, the first 15 minutes are the hardest. If I tell myself I'm just getting on the treadmill for 15 minutes, it's not as hard as telling myself I need to go 45 minutes or not at all. Too often I would choose not at all.
All the equipment you really need are dumbbells. A yoga mat and an exercise ball are highly recommended. For cardio, you can use the sidewalk. :)
I highly recommend this book.

Product Description:
People buy exercise equipment, join gyms, and sign up for classes, but they still don't exercise. They simply can't find the time. So author Steve Stiefel has developed a totally unique, full-body fitness program that even the busiest person can work into a morning schedule.
The Fit in 15 program takes less time than waiting in line for coffee, yet it has the power to transform one's total fitness. Unlike exercise equipment or repetitive workout routines that overemphasize one aspect of fitness, the Fit in 15 program varies 15-minute workouts on different days of the week in order to develop all elements of a healthy, shapely body: Monday and Friday cover cardio, Tuesday and Thursday are devoted to strength, Wednesday addresses flexibility, Sunday adds mind - body awareness and Saturday is left open for the reader to choose a workout that targets an area needing extra attention, such as muscle building, core strengthening, or fat burning. Fit in 15 provides a fun and flexible "7 days - 7 workouts" plan that lets readers choose from 55 specially designed 15-minute workouts.

Bluethroat Morning [Hardcover] Review
Jacqui Lofthouse, Bluethroat Morning (Bloomsbury, 2001)
Jacqui Lofthouse's second novel has faded into obscurity at an amazing rate (Amazon will still let you add it to your cart, but when it comes to actually shipping the thing...). This is truly a travesty of justice, for Bluethroat Morning is the best literary mystery I've read in a very long time.
Harry Bliss' wife, Alison, committed suicide six years ago by the rather odd method of stripping, walking into the ocean, and drowning. It takes a lot to drown yourself while not weighted down. (Try it sometime.) His life since has been almost cloistered, nothing but work and sleep. Until, that is, he meets his best friend's daughter, a nineteen-year-old who happens to bear a striking resemblance to Harry's grandfather's second wife, about whom Alison's second novel was going to be about before she killed herself in the middle of writing it. Helen, the daughter, is vicariously attracted to Harry through being one of Alison's legion of fans; it's almost inevitable the two of them begin a torrid affair. This is the lynchpin that drives Harry to the understanding that he must find out what happened in the two weeks before Alison's death, while she was on working holiday at the resort town of Glaven, in order to get on with his own life.
Bluethroat Morning is plotted with such an intricacy that the reader will start seeing symbolism in every word (how much of it is red herring I will leave to you to discover) and start reading ominous gestures into every action taken by every character, major or minor. The subplots and various threads of the mystery are skillfully woven, with nothing left unresolved at any point and every character eventually finding a use, even the red herrings. All this combines with Lofthouse's easy economy with words and direct approach to the subject matter to create a book both complex and readable, not an easy thing to find. Hovers a little on the "tell" side of "show, don't tell" now and again, but that's the book's only flaw (and it is a minor one; never more than a few toes over the line). Absolutely astonishing, and highly recommended. A candidate for the year's ten best reads list. ****

Hope in The Morning One Man's Struggle With Addition and What it Means For You (Hardcover) Review
I am a professional therapist who has worked with people suffering from all types of additions.In addition, I have been married to a sex-addict for over thirty years.As a co-sex addict, I am always looking for ways to understand my husband's "side of the street" as well as my own.Michael G. writes clearly, concisely and sincerely--from the heart--as he shares his struggle against sex addiction.As a Christian, I appreciate that he gives so much "credit" to God as his Higher Power because, to me, without God the twelve steps of recovery from ANYthing would be simply another hollow formula to folow to try to fix ourselves and what's wrong in our lives.Thanks to Michael G.'s book--his experience, strength, and hope--I am inspired to remember that God is still in the business of healing those of us who seek Him--one life at a time.

But he never forgot the "God of his youth," and a relationship that nourished and protected him when he was very young. Twenty years go by, and Michael is married and fully invested in his chosen profession, yet still angry at God. It was in the rooms of Al-Anon where Michael rediscovered his faith in a God that cares and began the challenging journey back to the "God of his youth." But God wasn't through with Michael. In 1985, having a profound spiritual experience, he rededicated his life to the Lord, accepting God's forgiveness, mercy and grace for his past indiscretions. The Scriptures became alive to him. He devoured the Scriptures at every opportunity. Since then, he has been in leadership in various churches. But God had more blessings for Michael. He hit another bottom when his attorney job ended. Shortly after that he attended Sierra Tucson for treatment of his codependency, grief and other unresolved issues. This was another turning point in his life. Michael uses his experience as a lawyer and Christian Life Coach to be of greater service to others. Since 1998, Michael runs "The Serenity Shack," a sober living home for men.

The Morning of the White Stone (Paperback) Review
I read this book slowly, for I'm 80 years old. The plight of the young boy raised by relatives and mistreated is a heartbreaking fact of life. I felt his rejection, for the author has a way with words, creating such a connection to her characters, I could not put it down. The end was amazing and rewarding, confirming that with God, all things are possible.I would recommend this book, for it is inspiring, touching.The beautiful poems only added to my enjoyment, for I could plainly see what it cost the author emotionally to write such words.Only someone who had been there could possibly describe such feelings of pain as Mrs. Lewis has done.I loved it!Wish she would write a sequel!

Celtic Sunday Morning [Paperback] Review
This is a fine book for use as an accompaniment book for supplemental worship. The chording is somewhat celtic in nature, and the CD is good. But you need people who can play by ear on the celtic instrumentation as parts other than keyboard are not provided. The CD might be used as an accompaniment CD, but it runs three hymns together, so if you want just a single hymn accompaniment, that doesn't work either. However, the book/CD pair is a good price for what you get.

Morning Earth: Field Notes in Poetry [Paperback] Review
John Caddy has created a series of windows to see the natural world. In clean, sparse language, he shows the reader another way to see the creatures, the plants, the weather that inhabits the earth with us.I like to read his poems to my grandchildren just to watch them think and smile.
In a way, one poem aday is like a vitamin for your soul.

Product Description:
"Whenever you write," says John Caddy, "you surprise yourself saying likable things that you did not plan." In Morning Earth, Caddy -- winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize for Poetry for The Color of Mesabi Bones -- brilliantly advocates poetry as a physical act - a morning practice or devotion, a decision to record quickly the direct, momentary experience of each new day. Caddy shares a selection of his daily poems covering the seasons of the year and provides instruction for individuals, teachers, and students starting their own daily earth journals. The raw, unfiltered inscription of each day opens the senses, integrating the writer with the whole of life through brief but powerful individual moments, inspiration, and connectedness. Twenty-five black-and-white images illustrate the text.

On That Easter Morning [Hardcover] Review
Here is a picture book for older children that retells the biblical Easter story. It's beautiful pictures have a gentle feel, even when dealing with harsh parts of the story. Starting with Palm Sunday, it goes on to tell of Jesus driving out the money changers, washing the feet of his disciples, sharing the Last Supper with them, and then of his arrest in the Garden of Gethsemane. We read of the trial that convicted Jesus, the crucifixion, and then of his body being laid in a tomb by those who loved him. The gentle joy of Easter morning, that builds more and more as the good news is spread, is depicted in soft colors, and art that has delightful elements of both realistic and folk art. This story is nicely done, a lovely way to enjoy the Easter story. I love the ending sentiment: "The dark power of death was defeated. God's own love lit the world on that Easter morning."

I know "Morning Meditations" is meant to allow me to engage in quiet, reflective thought.However, I found it to be so thought provoking and exciting that my thoughts were jumping everywhere--bouncing all over mymind.Starting with "Self-Love" ("Hillel's..."If I amnot for myself...") to the "Higher Self" of selflessness, Iwas jumping up and down with affirmation!
To me, "MorningMeditations" is exciting!A shot in the arm to start the day, to puta smile in my heart, to straighten my posture and to greet each day withjoy.

Wings of Morning [Paperback] Review
I bought WINGS OF MORNING because I believed it to be a continuation of NIGHT CALLS and KINDRED RITES. The story "Ducks" is a blip story of something Alfreda mentions in NIGHT CALLS about "duck blinds" but chooses to save that particular story for another time. "Ducks" is that time. It's a nice blip story, but I wanted to know what comes after KINDRED RITES, and was just very disappointed in having thrown six bucks down the drain for thirty-seven pages worth of story, when it's in fact two stories, one I didn't care about and the other too short to make it worth my while.
