The "secret" is...

Dr. Lardon doesn't say it's easy, but that with effort and dedication it can be done.

Finding Our Way Again: The Return of the Ancient Practices
8 reviews
Brian McLaren
Thomas Nelson
, 2008
Inspiring
In "Finding Our Way Again" by Brian McLaren, he argues that we have forgotten many of the old practices of Christianity. The emergent church movement is rediscovering many of these practices which have not been communicated or presented by the postmodern protestant church. McLaren does not place blame on any one of the present day movements, but it is clear that McLaren thinks that we have lost ...

Hey, there's a map... who knew?
Well, well. This book is an eye-opener. See how things generally are is fuzzy. You're kind of this way and that way, not really unhappy, grateful for being comfortable and trying to figure how much to suck up and whether you should just be glad you aren't in the depressing statistics. And when I say "you" of course I mean me. Well, you (again, I mean me) can't really stay all apathetic about ...
Prayer: Finding the Heart's True Home

HarperOne

Fantastic!
One of the best books on prayer I've ever read. He's very rooted in Scripture and yet very thorough in His observations on how we, as humans, interact with God. It continues to challenge me as I read through each new chapter. Highly recommended!

The new paradigm of leadership Ms. Wheatley describes embraces all citizens, creates harmony, and compels each member to become their best authentic self.

"He imagined he saw her smile."
Despite the fact that the Middle East's role in world affairs increases as each decade passes, most Westerners have only a hazy comprehension of the region's culture and its people. And, ever since the chain of events that began with the September 2001 murders in New York City, what we do know is largely distorted by the media coverage that tends to deal almost exclusively with the terrorist ...
Finding Darwin's God: A Scientist's Search for Common Ground Between God and Evolution (P.S.)
123 reviews
Kenneth R. Miller
Harper Perennial
, 2007
5 stars for sheer poetry
Just finished reading Prof. Miller's book. Totally agree with the first chapters but I am disappointed with the last few chapters where he tried to explain the nature of the Deity that he believes in. Do not mistake me, the last few chapters are poetry in motion, like sacred arias sung by a contralto, like a muezzin's call to prayer but it is in this last few chapters that he seems most unsure ...

Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
Basic Books
, 1998
A Great Read for Anyone
I absolutely loved this book. It's not a self-help book by any means. It goes beyond that. There are reasons why we love or hate anything we do, and this book goes into detail to answer the great question, "Why?" Seems like common sense, but it's not for most people. When you begin to understand why you love to do things and hate to do others, you can begin to enrich your life to enhance ...
Leadership: Research Findings, Practice, and Skills

Andrew J. DuBrin
South-Western College Pub
, 2006
I think it is one of the TOP leadership books of our times.
Although it is difficult to start reading this book and at times the style seems too dry but I have not seen a book on leadership on which an author would have put so much work from every aspect you look, namely research investigation, advice on how to practically check many of your own leadership aspects, how to train yourself or your group to be better at some things. I found so many points ...
Finding Meaning in the Second Half of Life: How to Finally, Really Grow Up
37 reviews
James Hollis
Gotham
, 2006
One of the clearest Jungian exposés that exists.
As someone who has studied Jung for a great deal of their adult life, I find this to be an exceptional book. Many terms that other authors attempt to describe such as psyche, ego, transference, etc., are really very difficult to follow. Hollis does an exceptional job in breaking Jungian terms open for the reader. Of course, this does not say that it is a particularly easy read as I believe the ...

Completely surprised by how good this is.
This was a required book for my legal writing class, and I expected it to be superfluous - after all, there is plenty of other documentation for research, LexisNexis, Westlaw, etc. But this book turned out to be a gem. The writing is good enough that I stayed reading through it at times even though I had looked up what I needed to. Content-wise, the book is an excellent introduction to the ...

This book was the bomb along with Keisha's other novels. I loved this story. I don't agree with the third reviewer (JUST MY OPINION - I FEEL HATE ALL OVER THIS REVIEWER).. Keisha keep up the good work!!!
Genesis: Finding Our Roots

Ruth Beechick
Arrow Press
, 1998
Excellent Resource!
"Genesis: Finding Our Roots" provides an excellent overview of Sumerian culture, mythology, and linguistics with an emphasis on astronomy and biblical compatibility. Dr. Beechick's research is top notch and fully documented. She demonstrates the absurdity of the word 'pre-historic' by showing that the origin accounts in the Bible DO pre-date those of ancient Sumer and Babylon. A must read ...

Un Spun- Finding Facts
I loved the Book! Great information for someone that wants to learn the political system. Since there is so much propaganda out there, this was a great book to understanding some of it. Short and to the point...not a big book...but long on fact finding.
Finding God

Larry Crabb

, 1995
Why does God allow suffering??
I have been on a long search for answers to 'why do these bad things happen??' In this book he writes; "If we believe God is powerfull, we are not convinced that he is kind because, if he CAN relieve our suffering, why doesn't he? The silence of God during tough times strengthens this foundational doubt that God is good." I have read book after book during the past year none of which offered ...

Marc Freedman

Refreshing
With people living longer and having the opportunity to remain in the workforce longer, this is a book that needed to be written. Americans have more options than ever upon reaching retirement age. We can continue to work, we can retire, we can travel, etc. The author, Freedman, spells out in delicious detail those choices, and the result of whatever one we choose. The book makes a point that ...
