Courageous Souls: Do We Plan Our Life Challenges Before Birth?

58 reviews
Robert Schwartz

Whispering Winds Press, 2006

The Big Picture
Everything always makes sense when you can see the big picture. This book provides a glimpse into why events we perceive as "bad" happen, through a varied collection of individual cases. Our lives in this "reality" are just learning experiences, to expand our awareness of ourselves, we agreed to before we arrived on the planet.

Leading with Soul: An Uncommon Journey of Spirit, New & Revised

25 reviews
Lee G. Bolman, Terrence E. Deal

Jossey-Bass, 2001

Easy Read Business Book
Leading with Soul is an easy read. But it has so much to give to the reader. It interweaves a story line of an executive in crisis with business advice rather than just telling war stories. It could be one of those business books that you read once a year. It is a living book that would continually have new insights as you live your life. For example I participated in an on-line book study at ...

Healing the Masculine Soul: God's Restoration of Men to Real Manhood

13 reviews
Gordon Dalbey

Thomas Nelson, 2003

One of the most lucid approaches to men's issues I've ever seen.
Wow ... if there were a six-star option I would use it here. If you are a man, read this book. If you are a wife or mother or in any other way love a man, read this book. Mr. Dalbey, with great credibility, lays out a case that explains why we are so lost as men today. If you don't think you are, but have the courage to explore the possibility, then read this book anyway. Both ...

The Untethered Soul: The Journey Beyond Yourself (New Harbinger/Noetic Books)

Michael A. Singer

New Harbinger Publications/ Noetic Books, 2007

Thank You Sir
I've read my share of spiritual guidance; from D.T. Suzuki, right on up through Eckhardt Tolle, and I've also sat before a number of today's popular teachers. There is nothing else like this to be found. It's the keys to the castle... an instruction manual detailing the moment by moment experience of the psyche on the path of purification in pursuit of self realization. He is offering the ...

Soul Wisdom: Practical Soul Treasures to Transform Your Life (Soul Power)

Zhi Gang Sha

Atria, 2008

A new angle
The title of this book was what caught my attention. I found it to be magnetic. And I had not heard of the author before, in spite of the fact he's had a best seller, so I was intrigued. Am not sure I would have continued reading it were it not for the endorsement of Dr. Michael Beckwith, and the educational background of the author, because I felt cautious, and a little uncomfortable. ...

The Souls of Black Folk
W.E.B. Du Bois

Digireads.com, 2005

One of the most widely read and influential works in African American literature, "The Souls of Black Folk" is W.E.B. Du Bois's classic collection of essays in which he details the state of racism and black culture at the beginning of the 20th century. Often autobiographical, "The Souls of Black Folk" takes the reader on a history lesson of race relations and the state of the African American from the emancipation proclamation to the early part ...

All Souls: A Family Story from Southie

183 reviews
Michael Patrick MacDonald

Beacon Press, 2007

Here We Go Southie, Here We Go!
The past few years there has been a bright spotlight shone upon the South Boston social and political climates that have forever given Southie the reputation of being a sort of rough and tumble sort of place. With movies such as The Departed glorifying and demonstrating to the rest of the world what exactly Southie was all about, the resurgence to try and understand what living in South Boston ...

The Soul of a Horse: Life Lessons from the Herd

Joe Camp

Harmony, 2008

Horse Sense Made Clear
This is a remarkable book that invites the reader to enter deeper into his or her own soul as well as the souls of horses. It's beautifully written with love and care and teaches much about horses that I, a lover of horses and all animals, had not fully considered before. I also highly recommend another horse book, ON THE TRAIL OF THE PONY EXPRESS, by Cherokee author Jerry Ellis. He retraces the ...

Journey of Souls: Case Studies of Life Between Lives

Michael Newton

Llewellyn Publications, 2002

Resonates
I am an objective type. My science degree encourages physical evidence, where logic, objectivity, and physical proof are highly valued. I can only say, this book resonated with me. I bought it because I had an experience that I could neither explain, nor get comfortable with. So, just like any scientist, I gathered information. This was one of the books I picked up. More than any other, it ...

W. E. B. Du Bois

Barnes & Noble Classics, 2005

Speaks The Truth To Power
In 1903, two years after Booker T. Washington's autobiography, "Up from Slavery", W.E.B. Du Bois published "The Souls of Black Folk", a series of essays which today most consider a seminal work in African-American Sociology literature. Du Bois view of race relations in American at the dawn of the 20th century was clear, critical and deeply profound. Throughout the fourteen chapters Du Bois ...

The Seat of the Soul

394 reviews
Gary Zukav

Simon & Schuster, 1999

One of many books to open the understanding of Soul.
I found this book to be THE leapboard into spiritual understanding and empowerment. For me, Seat of the Soul is written in more of a philosophical and scientific language that I understand. If one is to look at most of the books on these topics we would see that they are all speaking to the same ideas and philosophies. Just as we are all very different and yet the same, so are these books. I ...

Dark Night of the Soul (Saint Benedict Press Classics)

35 reviews
Saint John of the Cross

Baronius Press, 2006

Classic theological literature
This is by far one of the very best spiritual guides for anyone who is going through a trial that seems almost unbearably difficult to work through. It is a timeless classic that offers comfort, hope and a sense that this darkness can lead to transformation.

St. Martin's Griffin, 1999

A must read if you believe in service to others
Paul is an outstanding voice in our world. Fantastic book helping bring hope to a difficult time for those of us who aspire to service. It is a challenge to keep engaged in service and Paul does provide hope. I also appreciate his newsletter and recommend it to those who appreciate his work. Great insights.

How To Be a Graphic Designer Without Losing Your Soul

18 reviews
Adrian Shaughnessy

Princeton Architectural Press, 2005

Amazing, But Looking For a Bit More
Amazing book - a great read for any individual who is thinking of defining their place in the Graphic Arts world. You can seriously learn something new or reaffirming from it every time you pick it up. - Don't look for solid examples of what steps to follow, the overview is good, but it being told by somebody who has been in the industry for years and never appeared to have any major struggles ...

Care of the Soul : A Guide for Cultivating Depth and Sacredness in Everyday Life

66 reviews
Thomas Moore

Harper Paperbacks, 1994

Nonfiction for the literary lover
Being a student of classical literature, I have very rarely found nonfiction that can speak in the same language to which I am accustomed. This book is deeply profound and challenging--perhaps the most evocative approach to psychology I have ever encountered. It is especially helpful to those who enjoy literature. It is artistic and aesthetic, yet still very, very helpful for practical use and ...

Soul by Soul: Life Inside the Antebellum Slave Market

13 reviews
Walter Johnson

Harvard University Press, 2001

Slavery upclose
In response to Tabsaw's "brilliant" book review, I would offer a more balanced perspective. Yes, the slave narratives provide interesting reading, but what evidence is there that these are historically accurrate? In fact, a quick review of how the WPA collected these narratives should give an clue as to their reliability. Most were done by whites looking to support their perception of slavery ...

Christine Schutt

Harcourt, 2008

Contemporary literary fiction at its best!
As brilliant and powerful as Florida, and so different. Every one of Schutt's books has had an impact on my life for one reason or another, and this one is no different.

A lot of commentary from the Author who happens to be able to conduct hypnotic sessions, has very interesting answers that come from these people who undergo this state can answer the questions that he asks them while under hypnosis is very interesting for someone who has ever wondered about reincarnation or what happens after we die and go on from here.

New Insight
This book was excellent. It gave me a new insight and started me wondering about those deja vous experiences we have. I loved it and passed it on to family and friends to read also.
