Life-changing read
I used the advice presented in this book to bring about major change with great results at least twice. First, when I sprained my knee and tore my ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament), I used the concept of striving towards a goal and thinking of my physical body as a servo-mechanism to heal myself. Where I got the method of healing is a whole 'nother story. But the concept of driving yourself ...

This is the most haunting, accurate, disturbing, and best book I've ever read
This is the kind of book that was so disturbing and unsettling that it has stuck with me, and haunted me since I first began reading it. The book is written in two parallel stories that do intersect, but only on a couple occasions. In one story we have Harry, his girlfriend Marion, and his best friend Tyrone. The story begins in the summer. The friends come up with the idea of selling heroin ...

Dealing with Our Addiction
When it became clear that the medicines called opiates were highly addictive and caused health problems, they were dealt with as nicotine and alcohol are dealt with today. There were honest and realistic public service messages warning of the dangers of opiates, and there was medical help that greatly limited the damage they did to the individual and which had a chance of eliminating his or her ...

Good book
When I first started reading this book I sat thinking to myself "I know this is suppose to be fiction but this is just too unbelievable for me." The most powerful organization in Miami at times seemed to be run by amateurs. But even with that being said I couldn't put the book down. Even though Ashley and Jaquavis' writing style in this book isn't really polished it puts me in the mindset of ...

A delight to read
This book is a three-books-in-one volume, so I've given an overview of each story below. I think these books are great. They follow fifteen-year-old Christy Miller as she struggles through her teenage years. They are well-written and fun. Christy is an endearing character who gets into a lot of mischief just trying to live life. I highly recommend this series to teen girls of all ages. Book 1 ...

Just AWESOME!
Whew, what can one say after reading this book!?! To read this woman's stories of what she experienced and to see her now; only God can create such a transformation in one's life. I laughed and I cried as I read through the chapters. Some reminded me of my own experiences. This is a MUST read! If you are in need of any type of healing, it will definitely take place in the pages of this book.

The Sixties, Microgram by Microgram
This is the definitive account of the 1960s psychedelic drug scene. Stevens does a great job of conveying the highs and lows of LSD and its proponents. His ability to relate endless facts while retaining a fast-paced narrative structure is amazing. I found this one of the most "addicting" books out there about the significance of drugs in American culture. Stevens reviews all the major ...

Aleister Crowley

A Classic For Eternity About Healthful Living
It's not quite as much fun to write a review when it seems everyone is basically in agreement. Crowley was not as evil as folklore suggests, and he was a lot more intellectually accomplished than his detractors would care to admit. What struck me about this book were the resounding themes in the final chapters. (I don't think this is a suspense-driven book, so I don't see myself as ...

As valuable as any clinical text.
As a Clinical Social Worker, I recommend this book be mandatory for any professional in the field. This book goes beyond a scientific understanding of substance abuse, beyond treatment methods and beyond clinical strategy. It explores substance abuse from the viewpoint of the mother or the family member who has lost a loved one. It reminds us that a life lost to substance abuse is a life ...

A Welcome Surprise for All
I read a book written by a friend, and prior to the book being published, I read the manuscript. Although I called and told the author that she had a hit on her hands, nothing prepared me for actually holding the finish product. Terra Little wrote an amazing book that spoke right to the heart. Too many books bash African-American men about having poor or no parenting skills, and even being ...

How does God lead and how to be led by God, today?
My burning questions had been: In real life, how does God lead a Christian individual? and what does one need to do to be led by God? The stories in Bible were not enough for me and i had longed to hear some testimonies from today's life. Then i found this book and I think it did a very awesome job in answering those two questions, through the life if Jackie Pullinger.
