Scott Peck Touchstone, 2003 An all-time classic filled with penetrating insights which brings purpose and meaning to life I remember receiving this book as a gift from an aunt of mine a number of years ago and reading it more out of an attempt to show appreciation to her than out of interest. Well, was I pleasantly surprised! Remembering this, I recently decided to read it again. M. Scott Pecks' Road Less Travelled is filled with deep, penetrating and original insights that most people at some level would concur are ...             Boundaries: When to Say Yes, How to Say No to Take Control of Your Life224 reviews Henry Cloud, John Townsend Zondervan, 2002 WONDERFUL BOOK! I have enjoyed this book tremendously. I really don't have to feel guilty by saying no. We all have limits, and especially in the Christian community, we have to be careful. Some would call us selfish and other names, if we have to say no to money, time, etc. requests. I really needed this book at a critical time in my life! I'm fed up with others thinking that my husband and I are at their beck ...             Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy Revised and Updated204 reviews David D. Burns Harper, 1999 It's easy to see why this is the #1 prescribed book I've read several "self help" books on depression and I got the most out of this one, by far. I think maybe because it was so easy to identify with much of what he said. Like when he is talking about the different types of distorted thinking, "Hey, I do that!" His suggestions are simple and easy to follow. He admits to thoughts you may have as you read and responds to them. Just overall, I ...             Man's Search for Meaning68 reviews Viktor E. Frankl Beacon Press, 2006 Just buy it I've read this more times than I can count. The autobiographical part of the book is stirring. The details of Logotherapy wear a bit thin after many reads, just because of familiarity. I don't really relate to the idea of suffering as a life accomplishment - not because I devalue the trials of those who have no other choice, but just because I'm disconnected enough from it that I have trouble ...             The Feeling Good Handbook83 reviews David D. Burns Plume, 1999 Superb resource after suicide attempt This book was extraordinarily helpful to someone close to me. She was clinically depressed and had just been released from the hospital after a suicide attempt. We read it together in small bites for the first few weeks, and then she was able to do it on her own. A therapist helped, loving family helped, meds helped---but this book was literally a lifesaver. The title suggest that it is useful ...             11 Practice Tests for the SAT and PSAT, 2008 (College Test Prep)12 reviews Princeton Review Princeton Review, 2007 Excellent Study Guide I took the SAT back in fall and came back with the egregious score of 1800, so I began studying. I weighed my options and picked this book. The reasons were: the explanations after every section more than suffice to understand why I missed the question; the math section is very comparable to the actual exam, using the same tricky wording and problems; also the reading selections I found quite ...             Sacred Marriage70 reviews Gary L. Thomas Zondervan, 2000 Very Biblical! My wife and I have gone through the first chapter and answered all the study questions. We both loved it! After doing the first chapter I feel that the principles so far are very biblical. The way Gary Thomas explains marriage helping us become more Christ like is very comparable to the way the Bible explains how trials and tribulations are used to strengthen us, if we allow it. If you are ...             The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work: A Practical Guide from the Country's Foremost Relationship ...136 reviews John M. Gottman, Nan Silver Three Rivers Press, 1999 Genius in regards to relationships! Gottman is a Genius when it comes to male/female relationships.

It helped us tremendously and we didn't even think we had any communication issues! I have recommended this book to dozens of people, and they all say what a positive impact it has on their relationships. It's definitely a must read for anyone interested in learning how to truly communicate with and ...             Love & Respect: The Love She Most Desires; The Respect He Desperately Needs209 reviews Emerson Eggerichs Thomas Nelson, 2004 Great Insights from a Humble Learner My husband and I (12 years) have a wonderful marriage, but I read this book anyway since my wonderful Christain counselor highly recommended it. This is the only Christain marriage book I've been able to complete - a surprise for me! Emerson helped me to understand why we have such a great marriage. I plan to keep it in stock and give them as gifts to the engaged and the unhappily married. I've ...             Psychology4 reviews David G. Myers Worth Publishers, 2006 for 101, it's a 100. This is a fantastic General Psych, Psych 101, or AP Psych textbook. My experience with it gave me the notion that this might just be the best Gen Psych textbook available. I got a 5 on the AP exam using this book, but more importantly, i learned so much from it, i cannot even begin to explain. I recommend this to students as well as teachers (for their class) because, simply, it just doesn't ...             Colleges That Change Lives: 40 Schools That Will Change the Way You Think About Colleges29 reviews Loren Pope Penguin (Non-Classics), 2006 This is a "must read" for parents of teens with lower GPA/SAT scores This book has helped me to evaluate colleges for my children and to discover that excellent, albeit lesser-known colleges, exist for bright teens who have different learning styles than predominant teaching styles, and therefore do not necessarily fit the SAT/GPA cookie-cutter mold once they are nearing senior year in high school. This book reports on a study of 40 colleges that teach to various ...             Wild at Heart: Discovering the Secret of a Man's Soul588 reviews John Eldredge Thomas Nelson, 2001 Wild at Heart: Right On! This is the first Christian book for men I have ever found that addresses men as men, and does not encourage them to be wimpy casper milktoasts. It addresses real men in a real way, gives excellent guidance on being a real man, and finding a real and honest relationship with our father of fathers, God. I would recommend for every man, and for single moms raising sons, or moms raising sons where ...             Motivational Interviewing, Second Edition: Preparing People for Change14 reviews William R. Miller, Stephen Rollnick The Guilford Press, 2002 Motivational Interviewing What a wonderful book. I recently completed an introductory course in Motivational Interviewing and found the book an invaluable companion. My primary theoretical orientation is Reality Therapy but have found Motivaitonal Interviewing to be an easily integrated set of techniques for virtually any counseling style. Most importantly, MI appears to offer a set of techniques that fit well with the ...             Skills Training Manual for Treating Borderline Personality Disorder51 reviews Marsha M. Linehan The Guilford Press, 1993 DBT vital for self This book gave me tools to understand myself better and how to approach problems, get my needs met, and to understand that life isn't always fair and people aren't always going to do what you want. You can express yourself in an assertive manner and feel ok even if another person doesn't do what you wanted or needed. To be ok in yourself, your journey and process. How to "get out of the mind" ...             Encyclopedia of Counseling: Master reviewe and Tutorial for the National Counselor Examination, State ...11 reviews Howard Rosenthal Routledge, 2007 Counseling for master level It was a gift for my coworker, and she states that it has been most helpful to prepare her for her exam.             Every Man's Battle: Winning the War on Sexual Temptation One Victory at a Time (The Every Man Series)162 reviews Stephen Arterburn, Fred Stoeker WaterBrook Press, 2000 Great study Very helpful in many ways.
