Eckhart Tolle writes a very compelling book that would make anyone consider taking a deep look at their current viewpoint of reality. In The Power Of Now, Tolle has a tendency for packing mass amounts of meaning into every sentence. He even advises the reader to stop at many points in the book and think about what s/he just read. One of Tolle's main points is that who you truly are, and you...

Every once in awhile something comes into your life that will change it forever and lead you on the road toward a different path, you might say an "awakening" of sorts.  Two books did this for me, and one of them was Julia Cameron's The Artist's Way: A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity (Inner Workbook).  First a little background information about me.  Ever si...

This is simply an amazing book about how God appears in our life dressed in the most subtlest of coincidences. How synchronicities in our life truly have spiritual meaning. This is a smaller book than most would like to read, especially when you realize how good it is. But it is jam-packed full of stories about synchronicities and spiritual encounters that author Squire Rushnell calls "God...

Cloud-hidden, Whereabouts Unknown: A Mountain Journal by Alan Watts is easily one of my favorite books by the great man who helped bring Eastern thinking to the Western world.  The book covers Alan Watts final writings in his mountain home at the foot of Mount Tamalpais, California. Written in a journal fashion and broken up into separate ideas and thoughts, Cloud-hidden is a great glim...

I don't consider myself a religious person, spiritual would fit me so much better. I don't consider "Becoming A Better You", by Joel Osteen, to be a religious read. The book is truly inspiring though. No matter what background you may come from, there is a lot of real inspiration for almost everyone in this book.Joel Osteen is the genuine article. Yes, he is a minister with th...

I had watched, "What the Bleep Do We Know?" at some friends home one evening a few years ago. I left the evening wondering, if I was going to drive down some parallel universe, then end up living the life I thought, I always deserved.Well, we all have moments of thought, when we don't appreciate what is right in front of our faces. "What the Bleep Do We Know?", gets righ...

The full title of the book is "Your Best Life Now: 7 Steps to Living at Your Full Potential."  I bought it after having watched  televangelist Joel Osteen on his Sunday morning religious broadcast a number of times.  He has always impressed me by the fact that he is a welcome contrast to some television ministers who either scowl and scream at you or spend half of ...

Ever since Oprah bashed James Frey on National TV, I haven't watched her show. 2 years later, I was at a friend's house when her show was on. Oddly enough, it was to promote a new book for her book club called Eat Pray Love. It sounded interesting, something about a woman's spiritual journey to find herself, and I thought, what the heck, I will pick it up. Little did I know what was...

The Mark is the eighth book in a series of Christian based books written by authors Tim Lahaye and Jerry Jenkins.  Each of the books are a progressive account based on the book of Revelations in the Bible.  While I personally feel that it is best to read this series in order to get the most benefit from the building information on each of the central characters, each book can be read ...

This is the ninth book in the acclaimed Left Behind Series, written by Christian authors Tim Lahaye and Jerry Jenkins.  While I loved the first 8 books in the series, this one was a bit of a disappointment for me.Each book in the Left Behind series can be a stand alone book, but I suggest reading it in order, because it is sequentially based on the book of Revelations in the Bible.  T...

My mom purchased this book for me through one of her book clubs. I have always been fasinated by the spiritial world and Ghosts so she thought this book would intrige me. I have to admit that it has. It at least makes you think.This book is written by James Van Praagh. He has been on many talk shows and used to have his own TV show. He is now one of the producers of the TV show Ghost Whisperer....

Just a note about me before I get to the book. Since I was a little girl, I have been fascinated with a world beyond our five senses. Although I grew up in a religion that condemned the occult, I have looked into subjects like parapsychology, numeralogy, tarot, shamanism, etc. So when I saw Sylvia  Browne on the Montel Williams show, I felt a kinship with her.Now I have met a few folks who...

I recently bought 56 grams of frankincense for 8 dollars from bouncingbearbotanicals.com, and was very happy with my purchase. It arrived in two days, one less then they said. I was happy with the quality, as it's the first frankincense I've bought that has actually had that characteristic "clear white" colour without any black or brown specks, and I could tell it was high qua...

Kafka On the Shore, a 2005 novel from Japanese fiction author Haruki Murakami, is almost too esoteric to be enjoyable. Following the path of a 15-year-old runaway, the narrative is first-person and initially enjoyable. Murakami's writing style is rich with sensual imagery and leaves no emotions untouched, which hooks the reader into wanting to find out what will happen next. Alongside the s...
