5 comments about Reader of Hearts: The Life and Teachings of a Reluctant Psychic.

1. What to do while waiting on the path?
   Darrin clearly defines stages of the psychic journey. He also demonstrates where one can obtain the fuel to accomplish the journey remaining. "In other words,divine guidance keeps you manifesting the destiny that is all your own."
   The cover design caught my attention. The content spoke wisely to my heart.
   With eternity as the background, why should we feel rushed.



2. I haven't ever read a spiritual book that delivered itself with such candor. This book gives you a good understanding on how to look towards a more fulfilled life, and makes you want to learn more. I have read the book cover to cover many times and often find myself looking over different chapters so that I can gain a better perspective on life's ups and downs.



3. Wow. This book felt like an authentic and sincere gift from Darrin Owen's heart directly into my own...I was fortunate enough to see Darrin speak several times while he was on tour in San Francisco and there is no denying that the holy spirit is working through this wonderful man in special ways!! His style is entertaining and uplifting, his readings were spot on, and I walked away with tons of spiritual wisdom I was able to directly apply to my life.
   
   Buy the book....and google his website so you can see when/if he is going to be in speaking in your area! He's fabulous and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Go check out his work and decide for yourself. You won't be sorry.



4. In the many years of my personal spiritual path I have read many books and learned a great deal. This book was written from a place honesty and spirit. For those of you who are intuitives like myself, you will find comfort and more validation of your path. Anyone can gain from these insights, experiences, and exercises. This book was written with down to earth humor and complete realness. This was my birthday present to myself this year. I don't suggest, however, waiting for your next special occasion. Two thumbs up to Darrin

2 comments about The Real Deal on Overcoming Heartache: Learning to Live and Love Again.

1. "New light continually beams from this source of heavenly knowledge, to direct the conduct and illustrate the work of God and the ways of (wo-)man."
   -- Walter Scott
   
   Michelle Hammond fulfills God's promise of enlightening, freeing and healing women by sharing her experiences, discoveries, and insights, laced thoroughly with scripture and sprinkled with modern song fragments. Michelle's writing style is conversational, and easy to read and absorb.
   
   The author invites readers to examine our feelings and past with thought-provoking questions in nine sections, ending each chapter with encouragement for effort and progress. Each builds on the next, so reading, thinking and writing in sequence is more productive, but gems and nuggets are found just by dipping. The final chapter helps us put the process into action.
   
   What we learn about ourselves and our relationships are a gift from God sent through this author. She chose well her Proverbs for wisdom, Psalms for comfort and numerous others for guidance.
   
   Although the author's ministry focuses on single women, this workbook also offers hope to women in troubled marriages. Please accept Michelle's valuable offer of hope NOW to "discover the ability to celebrate Love all over again" and "reach out to the One who holds the answer to YOUR situation."
   
   I suggest clergy and counselors check this out as a resource to recommend.
   
   Armchair Interviews says: Powerful advice.



2. Michelle McKinney Hammond lets you feel OK for being angry, hurt and confused over painful situations when you feel you've been treated unjustly. Then she reminds you to let God fix it as He wills. She doesn't encourage you to dwell in your pain, but gives God the chance to prove His love to you. Not that He has to, but He does ... even when we don't deserve it. Praise the Lord for His grace and His Son. I recommend this book to all my girlfriends.

5 comments about Dare to Wear Your Soul on the Outside: Live Your Legacy Now.

1. This book helped me realize how I can make a difference in the world through the choices I make in my life every day. I loved the stories that illustrated how others are daring to wear their soul on the outside. Gloria's writing style is magical and very easy to follow. I read through the whole book... I didn't want to put it down! Now I want to go back through the book and complete the exercises. I really see the importance of wearing my soul on the outside and how I can help others do the same and be of service. If we all read and share this book, the world will be a better place!



2. Wearing your soul on the outside seemed impossible when I started this book. I discovered this is a book to read, re-read and participate with. Living with the questions and doing the exercises made the stories in the book come alive. This will be a better world as more and more people make sacred promises to themselves and live from their passion and calling. I feel like I am learning from a gentle soul, as I sit and savor these words and practice them at my own pace. I am very grateful for this instruction book. I now know that my service does leave a footprint on this earth. Joan



3. Gloria Burgess writes from the heart and pierces your soul in the process. She speaks to that part of you that you want to nurture. Or revive. Her stories are her own, but as she tells them you can feel your stories being stirred in you. And all those stories--hers and yours--feed you and your courage to meet the world a little more honestly, a little more powerfully.



4. "...holding yourself in high regard, knowing that you are an important and significant jewel in the crown of creation." I have fallen in love with myself all over again and can love those around me with fierce intensity. I read chapter six daily, it reminds me to be swept away by the wonderful feeling of love, love for myself and those around me.
   
   I didn't want to do the activities when I read the book the first time, so I am taking my time now and re-reading the book and doing the activities. As I complete each chapter I feel as though I learn a bit more about myself and how I can better serve those I come in contact with on a daily basis. I must admit it took me a long time to get through the chapter on love, I kept re-reading it. I'd begin a new chapter and then go back and re-read love. Because I loved it so much.
   
   How refreshing...finally a book that touches on the true nature of nurturing the soul...personally and universally. I recommend this book to all who seek to be free of the chains that daily life places around us. This book provides a way to stay in the center of the storm, rather than being tossed about with everyone else.



5. Once again Gloria shares her wit and wisdom to encourage us to find our very best. We are fortunate that she shares her knowledge and creativity and caring in the written word, so that we all may benefit.

5 comments about Becoming Like God: Kabbalah and Our Ultimate Destiny.

1. I had to title my review like that because I wanted to make sure I got your attention. This is the review you should read...Honestly, it scares me that I walk through life with the unevolved people who wrote the other reviews. You want to know why the world is in the state its in - Just read some of these reviews. The fear and lack of love and lack of understanding is embarrassing. These people claim to know the word of jesus but it's pathetic how undeducated they are. They just spew out what their church says withou investigating for themselves. Michael Berg's book is Coke classic and just about every other spiritual book is Tab. This book doesn't sugar coat a thing and details who's responsible. And it's you. And me. If you're searching for answers...if you feel spiritually lost - if you're looking for purpose - read this book.



2. Clarity of vision, clear text, amazing intelligence.
   Read it for yourself and draw your own conclusions.
   Michael Berg is getting better all the time.



3. Michael Berg's book contains nothing of any value to a real student of the Kabbalah, spirituality, or any related path. Although Berg himself may or may not have real knowledge on the point (his father certainly does), this particular volume is among the most simplistic and useless books you might read if you were looking for serious insight into anything at all, short of your gullibility in buying it.
   
   There is much value in the deep study of Kabbalah, and similar traditional paths, both for personal development and for general spiritual outlook. Moreover, there are now numerous excellent books available on the topic, all of which will encourage the reader to further his knowledge while working on his own meditations and ritualistic activities. Not this one. How much can one learn when this book does not even mention the most central glypth of Kabbalah, the Tree of Life, or explain the symbology or meanings of the Sephiroth, etc etc? Berg's text, printed in large print and highlighted in pink in even larger print, should we miss the point, contains a number of sweet stories of students and basic life lessons about how the average person is wasting his life by keeping his ambitions low, suppressing his own desires in life, and so on, and basically upsetting God by not pursuing a more spiritual path. Well and good. What is that path, and what can Berg teach the reader of it? Well, for that, you need to go to his website and buy his (much) more expensive books.
   
   Man CAN aspire to the nature of God, or at any rate to become more than human. There is value to the experience of personal development and growth, whatever the final results achieved, and serious study is always rewarded to a degree. This book, however, with its bold ALL-CAPS printing and block pink lettering exhorting one to do - what? - nothing but check out further links to the author's site, is something between an expensive form of advertising and an insult to the genre. Pass it by.



4. From the start I found it very hard to read this book. I dont like the writing style. I had to force myself to complete the book (i am fanatical about finishing what I start) it was torture! Also, the author creates and describes a scenario which sounds very good but he fails at the job of giving us the practical tools in how to reach that. The title is cool and new wave. The content however is a disappointment.



5. I first saw this book in the bargain bin at my local bookstore. I was a little hesitate because I have read books on Kabbalah before and was never really "enlighten" just more confused. I was also turned off by the neon lettering in this book. I wasn't sure at all were this was really going but I bought it anyways. I am so glad that I did. I have read so many spiritual books from all religions and I have to say this is one I would recommend to anybody, religious or not. It is so simple yet so enlightening. Most spiritual books have so much fluff that you never seem to get to the point of it. This book is very different. I think no matter what religious background you fall under you will benefit from reading this book. After reading it I went back to the bargain bin and bought the rest and gave them to people I love, all from many different backgrounds. I have heard and seen nothing but positive reactions to this book from the people I share it with and it has made a positive impact on my life and relationship with God. I have a much easier time understanding Kabbalah books now and even the Bible!

2 comments about Coping with Adversity: Judaism's Response to Illness and Other Life Struggles.

1. I just finished this book. The co-author is my dad's cardiologist. He is a very capable and skilled doctor, but more importantly a very caring person. I saw the book in his waiting room and was intrigued. It is a useful book in a number of different ways. First, it introduces some general concepts and terminology from Judaism in a very informative and readable fashion, which I enjoyed. He uses stories from the Tanach (what we Christians refer to as the Old Testament) to illustrate principles that are quite useful. Second, the advice itself is very practical for people making health care decisions or being a caretaker for others. I highly recommend this book



2. As a professional counselor I highly recommend Coping with Adversity.
   It is a meaningful and inspiring book filled with ancient wisdom and practical advice. Beautifully written, its stories and scenarios will remain with you long after the book is read.

3 comments about 2012 Atlantean Revelations: Becoming a Mystic in a 9 to 5 World.

1. A very important and revealing book about the world today and how to cope and bring your soul back to where it needs to be. Very interesting view of different realms of the universe and how they affect us and how to work with them.



2. "How To's" for being "in the world but not of the world." The greatest challenge of the spiritual path is maintaining the energy, vibration and inner center of the mystic while navigating our day-to-day material world. It is the rare few who choose total seclusion - a laudable path, but not the only one for spiritual evolution. And there is great value in being a joyfully spiritual person interacting with others, and thereby sharing the energy and joy of the spiritual path with others - not by preaching or trying to convert others, but simply by being "on the path."
   
   This book contains beautiful lessons, exercises and parables for achieving this goal. Following these teachings means feeling good and finding joy in every day, every "NOW" - and recognizing your individual value and significance and contribution to the planet every step of the way.
   
   Fans of "The Secret," "What the Bleep," Abraham-Hicks and "The Law of Attraction," Lynn Grabhorn, Barbara Marciniak, Dan Millman, "Conversations with God" and the like will find this book a wonderful addition to their spiritual reading. Those new to this genre will find their eyes opened to new and beautiful ways of viewing themselves and their life experiences.
   
   For a sample of these teachings, and more info, check out www.selfascension.com.
   
   Many blessings!



3. 2012 Atlantean Revelations is a necessary read at this time as our planet is coming to a choice of how we want to live. This book gives such insightful and loving information to bring in the personal recognition of divine love that we already know is true in our hearts and there is great exercises to call on that knowing that we are one. Also for those who feel they may have a connection with Atlantis I would highly recommend reading this book.

2 comments about Memoirs of the Soul: Writing Your Spiritual Autobiography.

1. I was impressed with this book because it doesn't just tell how to write a memoir. It helps its readers to explore themselves in such a way their writing gains more depth. It is full of exercises that can increase the vitality and impact of one's personal writing, and can help one's writing become more vivid and descriptive.
   Anne Jones



2. Memoirs, by definition tend to be rote and rife with nothing but facts and places. This publication helps one get to the core of what forces were at work within one's self when the past situation was developing. It helps you put a perspective on your life you may not have known existed. This book also provides the tools (should you care to use them) to begin writing your own memoir from a more "whole" place.

3 comments about The Language of the Soul: Healing with Words of Truth (Trans-Generational Healing & Family Constellations series).

1. In The Languge of the Soul, John Payne touches the depth, meaning, and healing of self. Through this work the healing goes beyond self to families and nations. I see the power and gift of this work, how it brings healing to patterns that disrupt the natural flow of love, AND how one willing to do the work is given the opportunity to bring that order or language of love into a more balanced state for the healing of past and future generations.



2. Are you telling your truth? Whether you are or you're not, your soul knows the answer. And if the story you are telling the world is not your authentic one, this could not only affect your health and your relationships, but the future of this and all generations to come. How do we know if we are telling our truth? By listening to the language of our soul. It is here we must answer the hard questions. The deep questions. The questions that answer what created the pain we may be experiencing in the first place. And this pain can run the gamut, from destructive behaviors, deep feelings and addiction to career challenges, relationships and depression.
   
   In his book Language of The Soul, author, metaphysical teacher and personal coach, John L. Payne, helps readers with this soul work. In the book, he uses the help of "human characters" to bring forward the truth. Once the truth is out in the open and the source is discovered, the wounds can be healed. The Language Of the Soul does its work by using what Payne calls a family "constellation." In my assessment a constellation is a chosen team representing core family or human members active in the roles that stand between us and our truth. Once chosen, Payne creates a sort of "reading": a tuning in to the channel of the soul to learn both what it wants and how to best express its truth.
   
   On the outside, this all seems confusing at first. Yet, after reading the Language of the Soul, I found its immediate take home message: we must all take a personal responsibility to heal the wounds that plague our selves and our families. Payne's book can help. For in healing our own souls, we can help our past, present and future generations. Payne explains here the depth of this work, as well as gives readers the tools they need to heal their wounds for good.



3. I loved this book. It has so many real examples from workshops and helps the work come alive. I have also attended workshops with John Payne and they are extremely powerful and dramatic things happen just like it says in the book. This book and this work expands my way of seeing people, problems and myself.
