A Morning Cup of Balance (The Morning Cup series) [Spiral-bound] Review

"Research has shown that any exercise that helps build muscular strength and endurance will improve your ability to function in your daily life." ~Dr. Alan Walmsley

A Morning Cup of Balance is a 15-minute routine that encourages a deeper awareness of how the body moves when you present balance challenges. Not only is this a fun routine, it can help you prevent injuries in daily life. The exercises are designed to increase strength, stability and flexibility. You will be standing, sitting and also moving back and forth and side to side. While you don't need anything more than a chair, a ball is useful during the "ball toss" segment, although you can also use a pillow.

Kim Bright-Fey guides you through a personal training session on the CD and the book is a convenient reference, complete with pictures of each exercise and detailed information. A "Routine at a Glance" page is useful as a quick reference guide. There is a short "Tai Chi" for Balance section and an introduction to using Imagery for Better Balance. To truly enjoy these sections, you may also want to look for "A Morning Cup of Meditation" and "A Morning Cup of Tai Chi."

Also look for:

A Morning cup of Strengthening
A Morning Cup of Yoga
A Morning Cup of Stretching
A Morning Cup of Pilates
A Morning Cup of Massage

Each book comes with a CD and the CD is very useful when you are traveling. Each book and CD provides a little escape from daily existence, then you can enter the world again: refreshed and strengthened.

Morning and Evening: Daily Readings [Paperback] Review

Charles Spurgeon is one of those brilliant Christian writers who I've just discovered as a new convert, but others have treasured for years. After my pastor quoted him for the third time in a homily, I decided I needed to learn more. And then I received this wonderful devotional for Christmas--perfect timing!
This is an version of Spurgeon's classic daily devotional, which has been updated using the New Internation Version of the Bible as a source for the scripture verses. Spurgeon's writing has also been revised somewhat to tranlate some of the archaic expressions into phrasing that will make sense to modern readers.
The text still retains a turn-of-the-century feel, but the words are no longer a barrier to understanding.
There are meditations for each morning and evening. They are full of wisdom and comfort, and I am amazed at how much richness Spurgeon is able to draw from even the shortest bits of text, "mighty to save", "He humbled Himself", etc. This gives readers a renewed appreciation for the value of each and every word in Scripture.
Helpful indexes make the book useful as a reference when readers need help or inspiration on a particular topic. This is a book that will be used long after the original devotions have been enjoyed on a daily basis.

Monday Morning Customer Service (Paperback) Review

I like this book for several reasons.

First, it's a neat format. By using a novel format Reed and Cottrell help deliver useful advice in a fun and readable way.

Second, it's realistic. Their advice is solid and practical, the kind of stuff you can use right away.

Third, they offer lists. I'm a big fan of lists because they help make sense of a cluttered world.

This book is a fun, fast and valuable read for anyone who wants to improve the level of customer service they provide. Hats off to David and David!

A Morning Cup of Tai Chi (The Morning Cup series) [Spiral-bound] Review

Very often I have read tai chi books that explain the art of tai chi using Chinese metaphors, like snake creeps down, making it very difficult for me to comprehend and use them in my daily exercize.The genius of John Fey is his ability to use simple American concepts which I am familiar as the basis of his routines.For example draw acircle with your hand. I am amazed at the benefit I have achieved by using John's previous books and tapes. I am 65 years old and move and have the energy of a 40 year old.Do not be fooled by the simplicity of the book. Practicing the tai chi routines have a powerful effect onthe mind/body.

Morning and Evening: A New Edition of the Classic Devotional Based on The Holy Bible, English Standard Version [Hardcover] Review

Alistair Begg, pastor (Parkside Church in Cleveland, Ohio), author, and speaker, has done a magnificent job in updating this devotional classic. Begg's updates enable a wider audience to enjoy and be nourished by Spurgeon's timeless writing. Although this devotional (in its unrevised version) can be accessed daily on multiple websites, I have found myself to be more consistent in my reading when I hold a hard copy in my hands.
Spurgeon's pastoral warmth and thirst for evangelism come through strongly in these short devotionals. His focus on all three members of the Trinity is excellent as he beckons us further in serving Christ. I have also found his connection with the individual reader to be outstanding as he instructs and motivates toward change and action.
Granted, some of Spurgeon's interpretation may be dated (for instance, he interprets Song of Solomon as an allegory between Christ and the Church). However, this clearly is the minority, and the timeless nature of his topics far outweigh any problem this poses.
I have used this devotional off and on for many months now, and have many friends who have also been encouraged by their reading of it.
This 2003 edition is based on the English Standard Version (ESV), a recent translation respected for its readability and faithfulness to the text. Among the many Christian leaders who endorse the ESV are J.I. Packer (Regent College), Chuck Colson (Prison Fellowship Ministries), John Piper (Bethlehem Baptist Church), and R.C. Sproul (Ligonier Ministries).

This book is about healing and moving on past what happened on 9-11.This book is about Jamie, struggling with just that, as she gets involved with two men.She is constantly struggling with leaving the memories of Jake behind and moving on.

The research on what happened on 9-11 was excellent.I thought that Kingsbury did a wonderful job, capturing the depth of people's pain after what happened to our Twin Towers.I loved how she had Jamie do volunteer work, helping people who lost loved ones in 9-11.

As usual, Kingsbury's books rock!I look forward to reading more from her.
