But it being recommended to me by my counselor as the middle road between the eastern way and the western, I was intrigued. I was so refreshed and renewed in my walk with Jesus to see Him as one who loves all and wants to be ...             Duke Ellington: a Spiritual Biography (Lives & Legacies)16 reviews Janna Tull Steed Crossroad General Interest, 1999 Author Janna Steed breaks new ground I just recently joined a book discussion group and last night, during my first meeting we were discussing Janna Tull Steed's new book "Duke Ellington: A Spiritual Biography." In just 192 pages Steed traces Ellington's development from a piano player to bandleader to composer and his truly thrilling and sublime sacred concerts in the last decade of his life.

He pursues the question that his father refused to answer and aren't we lucky for it.

Her characters become real. I am not from the South, but I feel like I am while I am reading her wonderful books. I wish the Crossroad's Cafe was closeby. I am hungry for biscots and gravy.             The Power of the Powerless: A Brother's Legacy of Love (Crossroad Book)15 reviews Christopher De Vinck The Crossroad Publishing Company, 2002 powerful! This is one of those books that can cause a dramatic change in perspective for some people; you will never view a mentally and physically challenged person in the same way again. It confirms the wisdom that God has a purpose for us all, and is written with great tenderness and intelligence by Mr. DeVinck.             Introduction to Christianity27 reviews Joseph Ratzinger Crossroad Publishing Co ,U.S., 1970 To be read and re-read Written 40 years ago by Ratzinger, this book still resonates with the times. In itself, this shows that Ratzinger is focused on what really matters in the Christian mystery - he nevers gets side tracked into going down blind and fruitless alleys. It is only on my second reading of this book that I began to see how important a book this is. This book is an important exploration of the nature of ...             The winter soldiers (The Crossroads of world history series)14 reviews Richard M Ketchum Doubleday, 1973 Wonderful description of a fascinating Campaign While I tend to read books on military history, I have not read much about the American Revolution. Thus I picked up this book to fill in gaps in my research. I found this book to be a wonderful work describing the American Revolution from its origins through Washington's brilliant winter campaign at Trenton and Princeton. Before covering the battles named in the title, Ketcham provides a solid ...             Praying for Others: Powerful Practices for Healing, Peace, and New Beginnings18 reviews Birrell Walsh Crossroad General Interest, 2003 An inspirational and very interesting read As it says in the blurb on the cover of this wonderful book by Birrell Walsh, praying is something we all do, whoever we are and whatever method we use. Walsh's accounts of the diverse prayer and blessing practices of different traditions clearly stem from his own deep interest, personal experience and whole-heartedly inclusive perspective. His writing style is easy to read and humerous and ...             Angels Unaware15 reviews Priscilla A. Maine Crossroads Publishing Company, 2000 Maine's Heritage Shines Through "Angels Unaware," by Priscilla A. Maine takes its title from the Hebrews Biblical text 13:2 "Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares." The theme's in Maine's book serve this homily well, as her characters learn what it means to untangle old hates and prejudices in order to extend their gifts and create a community together. "Angels Unaware" ...             Bernadette's Pages: An Intimate Crossroad9 reviews Bernadette Rose Smith Enlightened Ink, 2006 Response-ability -- the only thing we ever really have control over... A beautiful unfolding of the understanding that "making me feel good about myself" is not the job of anyone - it's my job to unfold and embrace my own goodness and worthiness. It's easy to tell someone "how to" or "what to..", but this is a "show me" book. It's "I'm in the quicksand and I feel like I'm sinking ... and this is how I'm growing out of it." Bernadette shares the ups and downs of ...             Crossroads: 196910 reviews John, W Cassell Inkwater Press, 2005 Review of John W. Cassell's "Crossroads: 1969" Review of John W. Cassell's "Crossroads: 1969" (Once, We Were Young) - By Jack Engelhard John W. Cassell traveled to Europe in search of America and to understand this it helps to be a Child of the 60s -though in a sense we are all Children of the 60s since the art, the music, the literature and even the politics of that era, all of it is still very much alive. In "Crossroads: 1969," Cassell' ...             Customer at the Crossroads: From Parable to Practice9 reviews Eric Harvey, B.J. Hateley Berrett-Koehler Publishers, 2000 Absolutely delightful - and RIGHT ON! I just don't understand why I am not reading about this little book everywhere. Maybe because it doesn't look like a typical book it can't find a place in a bookstore. But frankly, it has more true business wisdom than I found in such "bestsellers" as Good to Great, Gung Ho, or even Customers for Life. I suggest you buy several copies, give them to your staff, and see if they don't make a ...             Who Told You That You Were Naked?: Freedom From Judgement, Guilt and Fear of Punishment10 reviews John Jacob Raub Crossroad Publishing, 1992 a must read..... amazing ideas laid out in a logical, easy to understand format. not a really religious type book (although it is based upon Christian ideals), its more spiritual........ it's a bit wordy (i was saying "i get it, i get it", by 3/4 the way through) but truely some revolutionary thoughts that inspired me in an eye opening way......a must read for anybody questioning their spirituality or looking ...             The Heart of Motherhood: Finding Holiness in the Catholic Home10 reviews Donna-Marie Cooper O'Boyle The Crossroad Publishing Company, 2006 Excellent & Beautiful book for all Catholic Mothers I've read MANY books about being Catholic, being a Mom & being a Catholic Mom...but none of them have touched my heart & mind the way this one did. It was SO common sense about how to weave our Catholicity into our daily lives when there are children at our feet before 5 AM (when it's near impossible to get up before them to pray...even if we really, really want to) and at night, we just pass ...             The Only Necessary Thing: Living a Prayerful Life10 reviews Henri J. M. Nouwen Crossroad Publishing Company, 1999 Well appreciated As an avid reader of Henri Nouwen, I appreciate the care and integrity used in this compilation.

His compassion and humility shine through.             Love Focused: Living Life to the Fullest12 reviews Bob Hughes, Judy Hughes Crossroads Publishing, 2008 A Cornerstone In my short life (19 years), Love Focused has become one of the most influential books on me; affecting my relationship with Jesus Christ, family, friends, and all people I come into contact with.

The book is easy to understand and ...             The Bad Catholic's Guide to Wine, Whiskey, & Song: A Spirited Look at Catholic Life & Lore from the ...9 reviews John Zmirak, Denise Matychowiak The Crossroad Publishing Company, 2007 My perfect book. My perfect book finally sees print. This has it all: booze making monks, good food, good music, excellent history, harmless fun, politically incorrect ideologue smashing humour, and (mostly) orthodox Catholicism. One of the most underrated books of all time, and the exact gift to give to joyless Puritans or the frozen-chosen. And presents the best case ever I've seen for FEAST DAYS being ...             The Enneagram: A Christian Perspective10 reviews Richard Rohr, Andreas Ebert The Crossroad Publishing Company, 2001 Excellent Enneagram book written from a Christian perspective This updated version of DISCOVERING THE ENEAGRAM is truly a gem. It does a good job of explaining Enneagram theory and an excellent scholarly job of looking at the history of the Enneagram. In addition, its descriptions of the 9 Enneagram types are well done and insightful. Each of these sections also contains many interesting historical references to important figures and event in Christian ...             Little Town at the Crossroads13 reviews Maria D.
