Soular Power - Attraction Rather than Promotion.......2006-07-18
Get ready for life-long true love and have the patience to wait as long as it takes. Only your twin flame will never let you down or leave you for another or make you second to a previous partner's memory. So ... here is the journey of spiritual maturity and consciousness that will make you attuned to your soul and poised to meet the one and only who is the other side to your soul.
about soulmates and twin flames.......2004-02-17
I think this book is accurate in that it differentiates between 'twin flames' and 'soulmates'. Many books confuse a 'soulmate' with 'twin flame', but they are two different concepts. We all have many soulmates but only one twin flame, and yes, you may not meet your twin flame in this particular lifetime on earth. I myself thought the whole idea of twin flames was dubious until I met mine and only THEN became interested in the topic and really understood it due to having had the visceral experience. I think the books about twin flames really only serve you when you've already met yours, or at least if you really feel connected to the topic. Usually I have found that if it's not on your path to meet your twin flame in this particular incarnation, you're more drawn to the idea of soulmates rather than twin flames. The thing that we really desire is the next step on our path, whether it's a soulmate or a twin flame. This book is really good for both those who want to know more about soulmates and/or about twin flames. Also, speaking from my experience, I don't think you have to be enlightened or superhuman to have the experience of meeting your twin flame. I myself am spiritually conscious and my channel to spirit is open but I am hardly the epitome of enlightenment and I've met mine. It just depends on what's on your path and for your higher good at this time.
Soular Reunion Journey to the Beloved John & Diadra Price.......2003-09-05
This book was exactly what I was looking for. Anyone who reads this book was led to it by a higher power. This book answered so many questions and even raised a few more. I finally found a book to give me knowledge and enlighten me on this deep and intriguing subject. If you are at this level of asking you will appreciate this book. It is more of a question and answer and informational guide. It validates much of what I was confused about.
Twin Souls & Self Mastery.......2000-10-06
This book will not appeal to the lonely heart crowd looking for a quick fix, but I liked the book very much because it tells the truth,meeting and recogizing your twin flame demands a certain level of spiritual maturity and inner work. Your twin soul will not come into your life to fix you or to be fixed. Getting through life first requires self mastery! This is hard work and may not appeal to the masses. Everyone is looking for a quick fix, your twin soul is not it and either is this book. This book offers a lot of truth and practical applications. For serious seekers only.

Book Description
In The Rosary: A Journey to the Beloved, Gary Jansen offers a short introduction to a prayer that has touched the lives of millions. "Though traditionally considered a Catholic act of devotion," he contends, "the Rosary, with its primary focus on the life, death, and resurrection of Christ Jesus, is ultimately a catholic, or universal, prayer—one that can appeal to Christians of all faiths and denominations." The Rosary, attempts to cut through the myths of this sacred prayer and get to the heart of the matter—which is an ecumenical, meditative journey that illuminates the teachings of the New Testament.
Written for Catholics and Protestants and divided into two sections, The Rosary offers useful instructions on how to get the most out of this spiritual exercise of repeating prayers. It includes a visual and scriptural journey through the mysteries of the Rosary—including excerpts from the New Testament and reproduction of famous paintings by Botticelli, Rembrandt, Raphael, and many others.
Customer Reviews:
a beautifully written book.......2007-02-19
Gary Jansen shows us the importance of slowing down and,using the repeating prayers of the rosary, inducing a meditative state. He argues that by repeating the rosary you force onself to slow down. He uses some personal anecdotes to illustrate this. This book is a unique perspective and belongs in ones personal library of anyone trying to find peace thru the power of prayer. I loved this book!
An Inspiration.......2006-08-31
I bought a copy of The Rosary when it came up by chance as an "Amazon Recommendation" for me. I completely believe in fate and signs and thought this to be one. Although I have tried in the past, I wouldn't normally read a book about a prayer but this one is different. It is more than a book. It's a kind voice speaking to you, whispering in the background even while it's put away neatly on your bookshelf. It made me look at the Rosary in a completely different way than I did in all my years of Catholic school. I would recommend it not only for someone who is interested in prayer but also for those of you who have trouble with meditation. I have tried "walking down the path into the forest and closing the gate" and so on and so on as many meditation guides recommend but the nagging stress of my day to day life always distracts me back to the present. Here, Gary Jansen teaches a deeply meaningful type of meditation. I now keep The Rosary on a shelf above my bed and have reached for it during some hardships that have occurred in my life in the past months. It is truly an inspiration.
Book Description
This book is the first volume of a series dedicated to the life stories and works of Sufi women, in this case written by the women themselves. Contains inspirational autobiographies from Sufi women across the world, in different cultures and spiritual traditions.
Customer Reviews:
Must be revEred.........2006-12-30
The wisdom of the heart must be aligned with the presence of the force of life. Rumi said "In between all right doings and all wrong doings there is a field. I will meet you thEre." This must be revered. Bow now your head to the east. As Ellen said in one of her funny episodes of "Ellen": I must bow toward Mecca Now". A joke, but it's true. We must bow toward the force..Good day.
Strong Sufi women.......2002-03-23
This book presents personal stories of outstanding, contemporary Sufi women, describing how they came to the "straight path" of Sufism and how this path has transformed their lives. Here are some examples of strong, intelligent women, many of whom are Islamic Sufis, who challenge the image of Muslim women often presented in the media. Compelling stories.
It is About Time!!.......2001-11-29
It is about time that a women's movement show the immense contribution women have made to spirituality, and Sufism in particular. These stories of modern Sufi women are truly inspirational for the feminine in all of us. Women often feel religion is a masculine field. Yet, this book, published by the renowned Sufi Women Organization, shares the struggles and triumphs of contemporary Sufi women ... who are shining examples of the strength of women's spirituality. The only book of its kind that I have come across.

For almost 10 years Oprah Winfrey has pursued her dream of bringing Toni Morrison's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, Beloved, to the big screen. Now that dream has been realized, and the process is described in Journey to Beloved. The most extraordinary thing about this production diary, and the essay that prefaces it, is the extent to which it reveals Oprah's private struggles. As director Jonathan Demme writes in the foreword, we all have an image of Oprah as a "Major Public Figure," and one might approach this book, and even the movie, with preconceptions about her. These preconceptions evaporate immediately. She is filled with doubts about her ability to play the central role of Sethe. Surrounded by more experienced moviemakers, from Demme to costar Danny Glover, she worries that she lacks the skill and the strength to carry a project that is so important to her. Oprah obviously feels a deep spiritual connection with the story she is committing to film. This connection, which is shared with the cast and crew of Beloved, comes through clearly in every diary entry:
Tomorrow is the first day of dialogue. Am I ready? I think so. I bring the force and grace of history and pain with me, carrying the Ancestors in my heart, hoping, but also knowing, they, too, carry me.... I ask God for grace, and the power of the spirits whose lives went unnoticed, demeaned and diminished by slavery. Calling on you. Calling on you. I try to prepare in terms of logic, reasoning, what would [Sethe] be thinking--chronologically--but I really believe I can call her up. Her and so many others. I'm counting on them.
Journey to Beloved is filled with wonderful, powerful, black-and-white production images by award-winning photographer Ken Regan. These, and the text that they accompany, lift this book far above anything that could be called a movie tie-in. It is the moving record of a journey from the birth of a dream to its fulfillment. --Simon Leake
Book Description
Of all the events in Oprah Winfrey's life, none has affected her powerfully as playing the part of Sethe, the former slave who must come to terms with a haunting past, in Jonathan Demme's film of Toni Morrison's Pulizer Prize-winning novel - coming from Touchstone Pictures in Fall 1998. Oprah fell in love with the book when it was first published in 1988, and instantly became determined to deliver this powerful story to film herself. But making the movie was something even more profound than she might have imagined, and JOURNEY TO THE BELOVED is her own emotional account of that experience.
With Oprah's heartfelt words and the evocative images of Ken Regan, JOURNEY TO THE BELOVED is an elegant book that will interest fans of Oprah, of Toni Morrison, and of fine filmmaking. Accompanying Oprah's personal journals and thoughts about the Beloved experience is a foreword by Jonathan Demme and a chorus of voices, from Danny Glover, Thandie Newton, Kimberly Elise, and Beah Richards. The result is a tribute to a courageous work of art, expressed as only Oprah can express it.

RAVE REVIEW.......2000-07-25
I expected this "coffee table" book to be little more than Eye Candy. I was mistaken! Once again Oprah Winfrey leads the reader on a journey of positive growth. This book was written by Ms Winfrey as a diary during her participation in BELOVED. She takes the reader into her thoughts, her doubts and ultimately, her triumph of producing her "baby". Ken Regan's photographs of the making of the movie BELOVED are clear & allow a glimpse of behind the scenes activities. Are you an Oprah fan? Do you want to delve into her thought processes? Then JOURNEY TO BELOVED is a must read; even if you have not seen the movie or read Toni Morrison's book, you will find your time well spent in reading & viewing JOURNEY TO BELOVED.
We love Oprah.......1999-04-14
What needs to be said? The book is great, the movie is great and this book is fabulous because now we can read what Oprah was going through, during the shoot of the movie. Oprah we love you!!
THE ULTITMATE BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF HUMAN SLAVERY.......1999-02-16
THE STORY OF OPRAH'S DREAM TO WRITE THIS BOOK,BECAME EQUALLY AS IMPORTANT FOR ME TO READ AS IT DID FOR HER TO WRITE.I AM IN AW OF BLACK PEOPLE EVERY WHERE,WHO ARE ABLE TO FEEL THESE FEELING CONCERNING THERE HERATAGE,AND BE ABLE TO TELL THE WORLD IN A BOOK WITH THE LOVE IN WHICH SHE WROTE.I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR EVER SO LONG TO SEE THIS MOVIE,AND HAVE JUST ORDERED THE BOOK.I CANT BELIEVE,MY BOOK WILL MOVE ME AS OPRAHS JOURNAL DID,BUT I CAN HOPE. THANK YOU OPRAH.AUNT GIN
A tiresome, sophomoric journey.......1998-12-03
Oprah's "journal"? She knew we'd be reading it and that's exactly how it reads. Her "innermost" thoughts were, as always, for an outermost audience. I knew what she'd say before she said it. What a ripoff!
The best of its ilk.......1998-10-09
I always forget the conventional wisdom about books and the movies they inspire. Are the books always better than the movies (e.g., "Dune", "Lolita") or are the movies always better than the books (i.e., "The Ice Storm", "Ten Commandments"). The people at Hyperion have started a whole new category: Books about the making of a movie from a novel that are better than the movie and the novel themselves. "Journey to Beloved" is a fantastic insightful look (wonderful photos) at (I paraphase Zefferelli here) the transformation of one work of art into another work of art. I admit I wasn't a huge fan of "Beloved" in either form, but this book was a lot of fun nonetheless. I never had to ask myself what was going on--a marked change from my bout with the novel years ago.

THE BEST IS YET TO COME.......2004-04-15
GET A HOLD OF THIS BOOK...AND SOON. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!!
This is a must read !.......2000-09-14
If your heart has been yearning to draw closer to the Lord-this book will encourage you tremendously. Pat Chen writes openly about her intimate times with the Lord in a way that will leave you deeply encouraged and inspired to "dig in" deeper with a true relationship with the Beloved.
Pat clearly lays out this book in a way that is easy to read AND her experiences and teachings are thoroughly backed up with Scripture.
This book is only for those who have felt that "tug" to deepen their walk with the Lord- those whose "soul thirst....body longs...in a dry and weary land where there is no water." Ps 63
Product Description
In her desire to express the reality of God's love and mercy, the author shares her life through stories. In this way she hopes that readers will come to realize the fulness of a life lived for Jesus Christ.

Educational Trainer .......2006-11-10
This book is IDEAL for anyone who is going to train or teach anything. How to cut the fluff and deliver the required facts.
A refreshing approach to learning and training--I highly recommend it..........2006-11-03
I am not a professional trainer by trade. However, I was recently appointed training coordinator for my department. The Accelerated Learning Handbook has definitely helped me approach my job with a fresh perspective. The information, ideas, and techniques presented have enabled me to more effectively train those in my department as well as those in other functions. Before reading the AL Handbook, I thought all that was needed to effectively teach someone was simply to make sure all of my PowerPoint slides were logically put together. I now have a broader view of how people learn and a sold framework to use when putting together training materials on any topic. I highly recommend this book to anyone that wants to engage the audience and create meaningful, effective training presentations.
Practical ideas for facilitators.......2006-02-21
I have worked with adult learners for more than fifteen years and have always tried to incorporate whole-brained, participative learning. This book provided some excellent theoretical background as well as a lot of new instantly usable ideas. I wasn't even all the way through before I applied a couple of the techniques and got an excellent response from my client.
excellent training tool.......2003-07-06
I was getting ready to prepare a training program for 44 persons when I read this book. Immediately! after I used the guidelines to prepare my session. Preparation was fast and easy -and fun! I really couldn't believe that it was that easy to apply and it has been one of my best sessions to date. I refer to it when I need a refresher or a new perspective. I definately reccomend this book for trainers who need to keep their material fresh and interesting (esp. in-house trainers).
Accelerated Learning Handbook.......2002-01-02
Finally, teachers and administrators have a useful tool to recharge their classrooms/schools. We have become so test oriented that many times we forget that the process of learning comes from the doing. The statement comes to mind that we utter with new approaches," When do I have the time to get it all in?". That is where the problem lies! We are so pressured with these new demands that we loose sight of what is important, the process. This book will give us a clearer picture of how we can recharge our teaching and can provide the key so we can use the ideas to change the way we teach or approach the students' learning who are in our care.
