Hearing God's Voice.......2007-09-24
My first copy has long since lost its cover and the pages are dog-eared and tear-stained. I use this every morning during my prayer time to launch a converstation between me and the Master of the Universe. If you have ever longed to hear the sweet, intimate words of God and His plan for you, this is the book for you. Encouraging, and uplifting. After 8 years, this book still challenges me to walk intimately with God each moment of the day.
God will speak to you through this little book.......2007-08-25
I have probably given at least 50 of these books to people that the Lord lays on my heart. This book speaks to me all the time, whatever I am going through. It is like the Lord is standing right in front of you talking with you. Everyone I have given it to says that they have been so blessed by the words in this book. I highly recommend it.
Come Away My Beloved.......2007-06-26
I have purchased ten of these little daily devotionals. I give them to people who are hurting, grieving, feeling like failures, etc. The devotionals continually lift me up reminding me of how much our heavenly Father loves us and wants an intimate relationship with us. It encourages the broken hearted and gives HOPE.
Great Devotional Book.......2007-02-12
This classic devotional book has been updated in today's modern language. It is easy to use and easy to understand. Each devotion is written as if God were speaking directly to the reader. Very meaningful and highly relevant. I would highly recommend this little book for the more mature Christian.
Peace for Your Soul.......2007-01-10
This is a wonderfully comforting book. I've had a copy for years and reading it has calmed me through many difficult times. It makes a great gift for a friend going through grief or fear.

This book will give you so much courage and comfort.......2007-05-05
The poems and short stories are written as though God was speaking to you Himself. This is a wonderful book for meditation and comforting thoughts. I used mine the first time when my husband left me and I felt as though I were all alone. This book gave me so much courage and comfort.

Come Away My Beloved by Leon Coates.......2004-08-31
I wrote the book, I am not the author, my Heavenly Father is.
This book came about by sitting at the feet of Jesus and
worshipping Him in intimacy. As He talked it was written down
just as He spoke it. If you like for Jesus to talk to you then
you will love this book. What He tells you as an individual today, He will tell you something different for tomorrow.
I have never read a book like this before. The Father says
that the Bible is My written word but this is My spoken word.
The best.......2003-08-24
The contents of this very unusual book is the Lord talking to
you. You can call it God's Love Letter's to you and be perfectly accurate. Don't you just love for Him to talk to you about all things? He gives us the answers to any and all problems in this volume. You have to endulge or get lost in it
to really experience the truths that He gives to you.
Come Away My Beloved.......2003-07-02
Wow! Just in time GOD! This arrived at a criticial time when I needed to HEAR FROM GOD and indeed HE SPOKE DIRECTLY TO ME AND EVERY SINGLE SITUATION I WAS FACING! As a MINISTER, I recognized the WORD of God flowing forth in each message - which is the one true CONFIRMING WITNESS that Bobbie Coates was INDEED DWELLING IN THE THRONE ROOM AND LISTENING TO THE ALMIGHTY! I can't say enough about the truth of each message and impact that it has had on my attitude - in spite of every obstacle! Praise God for Leon Coates obedience to publish this work! It's A MUST HAVE!
Come Away My Beloved by Leon Coates.......2003-05-20
Our Father God is so awesome and so very good to us. This book
is so very unusual. It is quite different from most spiritual
books in that this whole book is the Lord talking to you as an
individual daily (or at any time you desire to read it). You can
find the answer to all problems by listening to the contents and
voice of Father God through the printed pages of this book. All I can say is Glory---Hallelujah!!!!!!
THE LORD'S SPOKEN WORD.......2003-02-14
A very, very unusual book consisting of (total pages) the Lord
speaking to you as an individual. Life in Him is being
presented throughout the whole book.

Last Call for an Old Spy?.......2007-06-13
William F. Buckley Jr has entertained readers for twenty years with the exploits of Blackford Oakes, CIA spy extraordinaire. In what will be the final Oakes novel by Buckley, Oakes is summoned out of semi-retirement for one last mission.
The setting for the novel is 1987. President Ronald Reagan dispatches Oakes to the Soviet Union to thwart an attempt on President Gorbachev's life. In the process, Oakes becomes romantically involved with a lovely Russian dissident and then embroiled in a bitter conflict with his arch-nemesis, the traitor Kim Philby. The struggle between the two master spies is absolutely ruthless and can only ended by death.
The novel wanders from the United States to exotic locales in Russia, Mexico, and Cuba as Buckley tours the battlefields of the waning Cold War. In literate, knowing fashion, he manages to weave in appearences by a variety of real-life personalities. In the process, he also manages to roll up the loose ends of Oakes' long and adventurous life.
This novel is recommended to fans of William F. Buckley Jr's spy fiction, especially those curious about the fate of Blackford Oakes. In the acknowledgements, Buckley does leave a faint hint about future possibilities by one of his collaborators.
Starting at the End.......2006-07-02
This is my first Blackford Oakes book and it happens to be the last in the series. So, I am happily looking forward to reading all the others. And if this was one of the weakest of that series, as other reviewers here allege, it looks like I'm in for some great reading because I found this to be a most delightful book -- well-written, good plot, good characterization. Fascinating look at how things worked -- or didn't -- in twilight Soviet Russia. I think I'm going to like Oakes as a protagonist as I plow through the other books. All in all, it was a good and rewarding read.
I hate to give a favorite author only three stars........2006-04-05
First, I must say that I bow to no one as a number one William F. Buckley fan. I have read his books since the sixties, many of which are autographed, reviewed some for the Roanoke newspaper getting his column published in this area and subscribed to National Review. I admit his thinking has shaped many of my own ideas as an educator and political activist. So Bill, forgive me. I cannot endorse "Last Call for Blackford Oaks".
I was delighted when Bill Buckley introduced us to the Blackford Oaks series, and considered his spy novels better than most on the market. As a character I felt Oaks was better than James Bond and cleverer than Sherlock Holmes. Why he chose to write "Last Call for Blackford Oaks" I have no idea. Yes, it is fast moving, yes the dialogue is pure and concise and descriptions are accurate and well done. I especially liked his going into the historical background of the Soviet Union and of course his handling of President Ronald Reagan. Gorbachev is shown for the fraud he was. Though in 1987 and 1988 when "the evil empire" was winding down, the spy apparatus was in full swing. Kim Philby was still a major factor.
The plot is well handled and the book is a joy up until the end. To my surprise the ending is rather contrived and one thinks that Bill Buckley is trying to do what Ian Fleming and Sir Arthur Canon Doyle tried and failed to do. James Bond dies at the end of two novels and Sherlock Holmes at the end of one story. Then somehow they come alive. So be warned Bill, Blackford may prove, as did those fictional characters, it is not easy to kill off a well loved fictional character.
Bad End to a Good Series.......2006-02-10
Fans of the Blackford Oakes novels may wish to simply skip this book, which ends the series on a depressing note and which seems to have been written with total disregard for what has come before it. In the opening of the previous Oakes novel, A Very Private Plot, Blackford and his wife Sally are, in 1995, about to celebrate their 30th wedding anniversary; in this book, which starts in 1987, Sally has already been dead for months. I understand that authors of a series that lasts for decades may need to contract or expand the aging process to fit the needs of a plot (and the use of this device in, say, the Matt Helm or 87th Precinct series has never bothered me a bit), but people who are dead should not be allowed to reappear years later. (Sally is not the only one who rises from the dead, but I won't give away any more plot points.) This book also seems to lack the literary panache of earlier Buckley novels. This is not a terrible book, but, like a TV series that overstays its welcome, there are, I think, one too many books in this series. Buckley should have quit while he was ahead.
Goodby.......2005-08-30
Not the usual command of the English language that Buckley usually had. Maybe due to a ghost writer??
It was time for Blackford to die.

Amazing, What Else Can I Say?.......2003-07-02
This book was a wonderful read. Not only was it suspensful and exciting, it was also rich and smooth, with a pleasing cadence. It is beautiful.
It also put a strangely sweet spin on familiar topics: vampires, for example, and werewolves.
If you like quality, read this book!
Cool Action, Humour, and Surprises.......2001-08-18
It takes a lot of imagination, but also a good grasp on what might be possible or could be credible in a fantastic world to write SF. Mr. Sloan shows both in Raven Dance. It's a classic storyline about rebellion, about the fight for freedom. The scenes are action and dialogue driven. Crisp writing, a fine plot, well drawn characters and sumptuous imagery, but best of all: a hero who is ultra-sensual, wise beyond age and capable, immortal and frail, intelligent and still human enough to have ideals and compassion. I particularly enjoyed the flashes of humour...Mr. Sloan surprised me with very funny lines he sprinkled into his narrative. All of this makes for a treat. I can't wait to read Malcolm's next adventures.
Raven Dance: An odyssey.......2001-05-31
If someone had told me I would enjoy reading a book about a revolution set in the far future that included supernatural characters, I'd have been surprised. Both ESP and FTL are standard fare in SF, but vampires and even a werewolf aren't. What makes it all the better is that author, Robert Sloan, makes it work. Raven Dance is an epic following a host of characters who battle "against all odd" the faceless, impersonal tyranny of the entrenched, hierarchical bureaucracy of supposedly egalitarian Utopia. With a nod to Heinlein sensibilities and values, Sloan crafts a tale of intrigue and espionage leading to a cultural revolution for personal liberty. His descriptions of FTL (Ander's run) and psionics are fun, engaging, and exciting. I hope you enjoy this action-packed novel as much as I did.
Words from a fan.......2001-04-26
I have a fondness for stories about rebellions. This one is particularly good. The characters are rich and very likable. The world these poor rebels are forced to deal with will give you the creeps. You will be rooting for these feisty protagonists mere pages into the book. Read and enjoy!

Backstage Honesty: I write what I like to read!.......2001-04-21
That's why I gave my own book a five star rating. There's quality and there's anyone's individual tastes. Having been my own worst critic for far too many years, I didn't send this book to print until I was satisfied with it. I've rewritten it so often that it's an old friend and sits comfortably between Dean Kootnz and Ray Bradbury on my personal 'reread list' where I wait a few months to forget the details before I enjoy it again.
I got it just right to my own taste. Skim it for yourself and see if you're one of my readers. If you like it, most of my books are pretty much like that. If they're fantasy, they have some science fiction buried deep. If they're horror they have both. It's like a gumbo. You like the mix or you want a little more of this or a little more of that. The one thing you can be sure of is there will be many more of them, because I love what I do and I love my readers.
So if I fall somewhere on your list, drop me a line sometime. Let me know what you think. The one thing I promise is every time I will do these books a little better than the last, while I'm alive. That comes like breathing.
Till the next time. You can find my webpage if you'd like to leave some comments. I'll also read them here. Have a good time. Live forever or die trying...

This book is the answer to "Where do I start?".......2007-05-07
No need for 1000 words. If you are a beginner, or are starting after a long layoff, this is your book. Sensible, and a great focus on what yoga is all about.
Has Stood the Test of Time.......2006-08-28
I purchased this updated version after wearing out my 1987 edition that I had been using for 10+ years. The first thing that struck me is that it's not spiral-bound like it's predecessor, so unless you have the book open somewhere in the middle, you must have something to prop it open. The new book is a smaller format with smaller photos, which also makes it less appealing that the 87 version.
As far as the book, itself, it's a great way to learn yoga. There are 3 courses that are 10 weeks each. Each week, the routines change in small steps, so you build on what you previously learned After using the book for many years, I appreciate the thoughtfulness that went into the selection of exercises. They work well together, and the progression each week is just the right amount of difficulty. As far as the weekly subdivisions, I wouldn't pay too much attention to them. For some weekly routines, I spent months before going to the next week. If you see yoga as a lifelong endeavor, then there is really no reason to rush.
The routines are simple and straightforward. Go to page 25 and start the warm-up exercises. There's about 13 of them and they take about 5-10 minutes. Then go to page 43 and start with the exercises for course 1, week 1 (there are 9 of them). Next to each exercise is a page number. Turn to the page number and follow the directions for that exercise. When you are done, go back to page 43 and do the same for the next exercise. That's it. I've yet to see another yoga book make it this simple.
Poses.......2006-07-11
I started with this book years ago for my yoga practice. It still helps me to further my practice. An informative all purpose yoga book with clear detail instructions. A must for every yoga library.
For those who seek yoga as exercise (not a new worldview)..........2006-06-17
This book achieves what it sets out to do...introducing the beginner to yoga. It will slowly ease you into the practice of yoga. However, as many have noted, the author also offers new age advice which many will find "weird" at best. Her new age/self-help philosophies might offend the common sensibilities and/or religious beliefs of some. I ignore this stuff and stick to the lessons and that has worked very well for me. If you think this stuff might bother you, tear out the preface & the chapter about philosophies for life, then ignore the tidbits dispersed throughout the rest of the text & lessons plans (fairly easy to do). I've detailed out below the basic format of the book as well as areas where you'll be confronted with her worldview, as I know this may be a concern to some (Christians, in particular) who are considering yoga for exercise.
The lessons are divided into three courses. Within those courses you will find the weekly curriculum. Course One offers 10 weeks worth of curriculum with a maintenance routine, a fatigue-reducing routine and a menstrual cycle routine. At the end of the 10 weeks, you then move on to Course Two. Course Two has 10 more routines. As with Course One, you practice one each week for 10 weeks. Course Two also has a short routine for busy days and another maintenance routine. Course Three is divided like so:
Weeks 1 & 2: Emotional Stability Routine, Version I
Weeks 3 & 4: Emotional Stability Routine, Version II
Weeks 5 & 6: Full Emotional Stability Routine
Week 7: Full Emotional Stability Routine, focusing on specific spots (she recommends "talking to your body". I simply focus on "trouble spots" and try to be reflective.
Week 8: Experiment doing routines at different speeds
Week 9: Vary your alternate routine to include many asans you haven't practiced in awhile. Experiment with creating routines for yourself.
Week 10: She recommends the body talk exercise again. Whatever. I try to focus in on more difficult routines or areas of my body which need more work. She also offers a routine for practicing holding positions, which is not to be repeated two days in a row.
Course Three is where I felt she tried to push her philosophies a little more than some might be comfortable with. This involves talking to your body, which I found to be harmless, but absolutely absurd. If you do not subscribe to new age philosophies, you'll also want to avoid the "Philosophies for Life" chapter at the end of the book entirely as it filled with new age/adapted eastern philosophy. She may deny that yoga is a religion, but this section is the philosophy of a worldview that many would consider religious, if not at the very least in conflict with their own religious beliefs. It is definitely not for everyone - things like karma and reincarnation are addressed as truth. The author's beliefs are not amenable to those found in other religions (Christianity, Islam) and may be offensive to Christians, Muslims and others. I am a Christian (Catholic) and have no trouble ignoring her new age ramblings and self-help philosophies. Her beliefs will probably sound like self help/new age mumbo jumbo to those who consider themselves atheist or agnostic. White lights, ethical guidlines (which seem very much like a religious creed of sorts), etc.
However, it is easy enough to ignore it and adapt it to your own purposes while increasing your difficulty level and introducing yourself to some new challenges. After course three you should be able to create your own routines and will be ready to move on to bigger and better things. This book is a good start to yoga for exercise. I could have done without all of the new age philosophizing and personal ramblings of the author, which I tried to ignore as much as possible. She also refers to evolution, which may be annoying to some as it can be a touchy subject. Again, easily ignored (for me). Yet I wish none of it were there and she had simply stuck to yoga. I realize that yoga is more than exercise to her. The book is still a good starting place if you consider yoga as exercise alone and do not want to take up a new worldview.
There is also a yoga during pregnancy chapter with routines, yoga & sports with routines, yoga & stress management (a bit too much of her philosophies there, as you can imagine). Furthermore, the Yoga Techniques Classified by Type section at the end of the book is very helpful for creating your own routines.
Hope this review helps. Good luck!
Works well for people who need direction.......2004-11-25
I first bought this book many years back, and have used it on and off. Looking forward to purchasing the revised version. Also gave it to my father who was having problems getting motivated about any form of exercise, and he used it for years.
It is great if you don't have time to go to class, but need someone telling you exactly what to do (I am not motivated enough to just develop a series of poses for myself). The fact that it has multi-week classes in succession with pose variations is great for me. I find videos dull because it's the same thing over and over and they are ususally too slow once you've done it a few times and generally the voice/music combos are irritating. This way I put on my own music and go at my own pace.
I agree with other reviewers that it is best to avoid the flakiness and get on with the courses which are flake free, easy to follow and physically rewarding.
