Groundbreaking for Transformation and Self Esteem
In "Know Yourself" Barbara Rose did an outstanding job of bringing insight where I previously had confusion or uncertainty. There is a chapter covering abuse that helped me un-do more hurt from the past than I thought it would, and for that I am grateful. I wanted to quote directly from the book from page 98 because I feel this can help anyone, which is the purpose of this great book. ...

don't give up!
This book had a huge impact on me as a child. Everyone told the boy his carrot seed would not come up. Even the adults. My reaction was this: adults know everything, so why is this boy still trying? I was truly surprised when the carrot seed sprouted, and I clapped and cheered. My next reaction was this: maybe *I* shouldn't give up, even when other people tell me to. This is one of the ...

Hands down the best book of this sort!
I loved this book, it was the most freeing book ever! I saw Robert Holden on the Oprah Show. I really wonder if she actually read it, because she didnt touch on the true the essense of his message. Which was profoundly, "we need to stop 'trying' to fix ourselves". This is the missing link to benefiting from using the Law of Attraction to enhance your life. If you read this book and really ...

Great insight on children's play
I bought this book because I needed help with getting better at playing with my daughter. She always wants to play and I am busy or not in the mood. I was feeling so guilty and not a good mom that I started looking for books on how to be a better parent. After reading this book, I realized how important play is. Is not just a game but a way to build a stronger relationship with my daughter and ...

My great nephew gives it a big "YAAAAAAAAY!"
As I was opening the envelope which held "Courage the Monkey," my year-old nephew squealed with delight. The beautifully illustrated cover caught his eyes and, of course, he was ready for a reading. When I began to read the tale to him, we both were transported to the majestic Mount Kenomy, home to Jonathan, a spider monkey about to meet the challenge of making his first solo climb when he ...

The Sequoia Seed warrants a 2nd and third read!
I have just finished reading The Sequoia Seed for the second time. For anyone who is seeking understanding or guidance,inspiration or clarity in his or her life, I recommend reading it a second time--perhaps even a third. I know I will read it again as time goes by, when life presents challenges or simply to reaffirm the truths the author demonstrates so clearly. Well-written and engagingly ...

Make it your first book on wine!
If you are buying your first book on wine, let it be this one. I have previously bought some other books that were advertised as aimed towards non professionals, but I found many parts of them very hard to read. Oldman's guide is worth reading, and it can awaken the love for wine in you. It is made as one or two page shortcuts which you can easily read, grab off the shelf when you feel like it or ...

Food for the Spirit.....by The Spirit
I am not one who normally writes a review, but I must tell you that this book came at a time when I needed to learn the Truth regarding strengthening myself in the Lord. The principles taught are simple but life-changing if applied in daily doses....becoming part of your spiritual arsenal. This is not another "self help" book that there seems to be such an abundance of these days, but an honest, ...

life changing
I've had a hard time getting out of my own head - or so I thought. Reading this book made me realize that those first thoughts are the answers I am asking for - its all the other stuff that I think behind it that get me in trouble! Anyway, free form writing has always been a good source of information to me. Applying it to specific questions has helped me gain clarity in numerous situations. ...

All Diamonds In The Rough Need Polishing
This book is one of the gems -- a diamond in the rough -- on parenting. Written in simple language, it's the "basic course" on "HOW TO RAISE KIDS WITH SOLID CHARACTER, STRONG MINDS, AND CARING HEARTS". So read, use, and understand. Hmm. Understand? What do you do when the kids ask, "WHY?"! Hmm. You'll need a book that makes you understand -- in simple language -- the philosophy of WHY character ...

Real help for real people.
This is not a "pat yourself on the back you can do it book." Romanus Wolter actually rolls up his sleeves and helps you get on track. I have learned how to create a method that helps me make decisions and his formula for developing an elevator pitch was the first time I was able to bring all my ideas about what I want to do into one cohesive sentence. It seems almost too simple but just follow ...

Another milestone in my spiritual walk
I must say that in conjunction with Purpose Driven Life, Joyce's books have turned my life around. Joyce gave me the tools to drop all of the bitterness and self- doubt that had been plaguing me and keeping me from working towards the ministry God called me for. This book has been a "true gem" as an earlier review stated. Joyce pushes farther into the "just believe in yourself" mantra and ...

This book was a great book. If you are a swimmer you can relate to all the training and the time you have for everything else. If you have ever dreamed of going to the Olympics this book shows you what you have to need and go through. Alex shows courage and faith in this book. The book also gives examples of a swimmer's friendships and dreams. "In Lane Three, Alex Archer" is a really good ...

A copy should be on every speaker's reference shelf!
A professional speaker for 26 years, I now refer to Speak with Confidence before each presentation for a quick brush up--learn, don't read or memorize material; shorten material by cutting the skeleton, not the flesh; handling Q & A using the SEER formatŪ, and more! A copy should be on every speaker's reference shelf!

My two nephews love this book & CD!
This lovely and lively story became an instant favorite of my two young nephews -- which is saying a lot considering that their bookshelf is well stocked! The CD that accompanies the book (making the price a real bargain) is no afterthought -- it is just as rich in detail and as well-produced as the book itself. And having a CD of the book comes in very handy when the boys are in the mood to ...
