One in a Million: Journey to Your Promised Land
Author: Priscilla ShirerPublisher: B&H BooksPrice: $14.99 Reviewed by: Olivia Worobec The Bible says abundant life can be ours. However, many of us don’t understand what exactly that means and are confused about how to obtain it. Author Priscilla Shirer wants us to break out of the ordinary, to have the confidence to face life with “spiritual stamina” and grab hold of the fullness and prosperity that God offers and receive blessings that really matter. In using the example of the Israelites’ trek through the desert to the Promised Land, Shirer draws on the parallels between their journey and the journey of every Christian ever since. Broken up into three parts – Deliverance, Development and Destiny – One in a Million is written in a conversational tone that is both explanatory and illustrative. … Read entire article »

"Expand This Moment"
An Interview with John Selby John, you’ve written over two dozen books in the last two decades, most of them on the psychology of meditation, and new mind-management techniques. How does this new book, Expand This Moment, differ from the others? Expand This Moment brings together under one cover all 12 of my primary Focus Phrases, devoting a full chapter to each Focus Phrase. It also teaches a very-compressed meditation program that everyone can integrate into their daily life. This book is basically my bible – it’s the core program. And the title, Expand This Moment, says it all – because all we have is the present moment. Nothing else exists in our experience, and our present moment is either contracted, or expanded. This book teaches the most potent way we’ve discovered … Read entire article »

A Homeopathic Guide to Partnership and Compatibility: Understanding Your Type and Finding Love
by Liz Lalor (2004)Publisher: North Atlantic BooksPrice: $18.95 Reviewed by: Olivia Worobec Although we see the effects of illness physically, there are mental and emotional factors that run alongside it. Homeopathy takes into account the simultaneous forces at work within us. Lalor not only looks into the underlying emotional component that affects one’s health and well-being, but even goes further by linking self-knowledge to finding your ideal partner (unlike previous uses and methods of homeopathy). There is a stronger connection than you may think. “Homeopathic constitutional analysis is based on the assumption that when you know who are you are, you also know what fulfills you emotionally,” she says. Studying movies as examples, from The African Queen to American Splendor, Lalor looks at character and emotional personalities, as well as relationship types. By observing individualized … Read entire article »
