The Eckhart Tolle Audio Collection (The Power of Now Teaching Series)

by Eckhart Tolle

Average Rating:

"Alas, I can't recommend this collection.There is nothing in this Audio Collection that isn't available more succinctly in the original Power of Now, a book that I consider a true, elegant masterpiece. I've given my original copy away and listen to the audio version when I drive, which has become a very rich part of my day. ..."

A Friendship Like No Other: Experiencing God's Amazing Embrace

by William A. Barry

Average Rating:

"This book is a radical idea and shows us how to make it happen. To many of us God is remote, buried in catechisms with answers dutifully to be memorized. Few of us would dare say, "God is my friend," whether casual, close or best. We have been educated by commands from on high to love God with all we've got and be grateful for God's love for us. ..."

God Calling

by A. J. Russell

Average Rating:

"This book is dangerous in the way that it purports to be channeled revelation from Jesus. Accepting this extreme claim leads people away from studying Scripture and into a search for subjective personal revelation. The book sounds very good in many parts, but a closer reading reveals the shallowness of what is actually taught. ..."

Offerings: Buddhist Wisdom for Every Day (Offerings for Humanity)

by Danielle Föllmi

Average Rating:

"I love this book. It was recently given to me as a birthday present and has become a way for me to reflect and start my day. Every morning I sit and open the page related to the same day. The photographs are stunning and although the book is heavy, the format makes it different, unforgettable among other books by its shape and beautiful cover photograph.
If you are one who believes in compassion, kindness and truthfulness about oneself's divine nature, then this book is for you. ..."

Until Today! : Daily Devotions for Spiritual Growth and Peace of Mind

by Iyanla Vanzant

Average Rating:

"This was so moving for me. I am just recently out of a bad relationship, one of many. A friend shared with me a copy of this book before I bought it myself. Iyanla touches on the deepest parts of my heart, and shows me that I am not alone. ..."

Healing Words

by Larry Dossey

Average Rating:

"It's probably tempting to dismiss this book as "New Age" claptrap. That would be a mistake.In fact Dossey is highly critical of the "New Age" movement. And despite some overblown cover blurbs, he doesn't claim to have "proven" anything about the power of prayer in healing; he's making suggestions and exploring possibilities, not laying down law.Nor, for the most part, is his speculation wild or unfounded. ..."

Divine Nobodies: Shedding Religion to Find God (and the unlikely people who help you)

by Jim Palmer

Average Rating:

"Finding a writer who is able to be both vulnerable and Christian is rare. Too often the language of "ought" overtakes the language of "is." Consequently many of the books in the evangelical world intended to provoke spiritual growth settle for passing out the lastest God-talk. And the hard art of letting God's love near our brokeness is never shared. ..."

A Promise Kept

by Robertson McQuilkin

Average Rating:

"For a young single it's easy to fantasize about the joys of having a lifelong love - often at the neglect of counting the true cost of actually having one. This small but powerful book shows that cost, and how one man remained faithful to his wife despite it. Robertson, a distinguished man high in Christian academic circles, is shocked when his vivacious wife Muriel is diagnosed with Alzheimer's. ..."

The Imitation of Christ (Dover Thrift Editions)

by Thomas à Kempis

Average Rating:

"This book changed me. It taught me to stay away from anything that will hinder my faith and to follow Jesus with all my heart and soul and mind. Even though I'm still in the process of reading it, it changes me every day. Thomas A Kempis is the most devoted person I have encountered and I pray that many more people will be changed by this inspirational book. ..."

Living Your Strengths: Discover Your God-Given Talents and Inspire Your Community

by Albert L. Winseman

Average Rating:

"We have just begun to use this text and accompanying workbook and video at our church for a seven-week study to determine our God given talents and calling. Apparently this material is also used in business for the same purpose. The initial process is to go online and take a strength finder assessment (approx. ..."
