Soul of the Heart Catherine VanWetter – NEW! |
Buy it now at Amazon.com
This is one of those perfect "Coffee Table" books. You know, the kinds that you sit in the middle of the coffee table because it has pretty pictures, great quotes, and short passages that can be enjoyed while finishing off a cup of coffee. Catherine clearly understands the simplicity of the truths that apply to the world we live in - and how to truly be fulfilled and happy in this life, all we need to do is listen to, honor, and commune with our heart authentically.
There is much spiritual wisdom packed into the pages of this short and sweet book, yet at the same time, it will be easy for most readers to miss much of it. This is partly a challenge among all spiritual books - how can one ever truly communicate the wisdom we've discovered through our own experiences? However, the simple nature of this book makes it an even greater challenge because it skips the explanations and goes straight to the Soul of the Heart.
While it's unlikely this book will change your life (as so few books ever do), it is guaranteed this book will put a smile on your face and shine some light in your heart. This book isn't trying to be a massive tome of all the spiritual insights of all time, in fact it's not even trying to be anything other than what it is - simple, insightful, authentic, enjoyable, and transformative if you open your heart to its simple yet profound wisdom. |

Wild Attraction Paul and Patricia Richards – NEW! |
Buy it now at Amazon.com
On the surface, "Wild Attraction" looks like just another relationship manual. It could easily be mistaken for a "How To Have a Spiritual Relationship" book, and that's what I thought before I started reading.
The more I dug into the material though, the more I realized that the concepts presented turn our current view of "successful relationships" upside down. Some of the ideas directly contradicted what I believed was required for a relationship to be successful. This was initially difficult for me to digest, and even still some concepts I still am juggling and not quite sure how they fit in with my own ideas and experience.
For example, what do you mean relationships aren't supposed to require work??? :)
Maybe if I had read the book cover, "A Ruthlessly Practical Guide to Extraordinary Relationship" then that wouldn't have been as much of a surprise. :) And in that light, Wild Attraction is definitely not for everybody. If you are comfortable in your ways, or are content with having a "good enough" relationship then don't waste your money on this book.
On the other hand, if you're drawn to a path of challenge and growth, and what it takes to experience a truly "extraordinary" relationship then give this book a read. Wild Attraction is not a 'quick fix' to relationships, but rather, the book takes a long view of first making ourselves 'extraordinary' so that we can be ready and available for relating with other 'extraordinary' people. In this context, it may take a year or years to grow enough to even consider yourself a truly viable candidate for 'extraordinary relationship.'
There are some very wise insights and practical exercises within "Wild Attraction" that I have already begun to apply in my life; I can feel some differences shifting within me that I know will manifest in the outer world as these latent gifts mature. I know in my heart of hearts that an extraordinary relationship is what I want, and I will continue to explore this book and it's exercises.
This isn't a book to be read once, but rather, a book to be read over and over until the concepts are no longer ideas to practice, but rather, ways of being. |

Living a Charmed Life Victoria Moran – NEW! |
Buy it now at Amazon.com
Although "Living a Charmed Life" is targeted towards women as a followup to "Creating a Charmed Life: Sensible, Spiritual Secrets Every Busy Woman Should Know" it really is a book for both men and women. Her insights are as practical as they are genuine, and Moran shares her own experiences which help bring a personal tone to the book.
As a writer, my favorite piece of advice she gave which is so simple, yet so easy to dismiss, is chapter 36, "Claim a Cafe." It serves as a gentle reminder that we all need a metaphorical "home away from home" to enliven and enrich our souls - specifically, our creative souls. In fact, I'm writing this review from the Laughing Planet Cafe, which I believe will become my newly adopted cafe here in Portland OR. I am looking forward to writing more from here, and sharing it with you, as I sink into my new life as a writer like relaxing into the deep cushions of a favorite recliner.
In a similar vein, "Living a Charmed Life" is a book that the more you read, the more these simple ideas will seamingly sift into your heart and mind to find a resonant new home. If you're looking for totally brand new ideas, this book isn't for you. Her ideas aren't new - they're just presented in a personal and empowering way that connects these simple things with experiencing more joy and peace in your life. |

Imagine That Rosemary Holmes-Gull |
Buy it now at Amazon.com
Imagine That! is definitely targeted for younger kids around the 3-6 age range. One thing that's great about this book is it uses tangible real-world examples from nature that younger children can relate to, and these examples show the magic, mystery, and power within nature... and ultimately within each and every one of us.
Imagine That is a book that encourages children to believe in their inner power, and ultimately, to live by it. |

The Wave Leah Chelius |
Buy it now at Amazon.com
The Wave is as much a children's story as a clear message to teens and adults that there is usually more to life than we see with our limited vision. It also helps plant an early seed in childrens' minds that spirituality isn't just something we seek or find, but rather, it's a part of us all the time and every place -- all we need to is become aware. This book is probably better suited for older children, perhaps ages 5-10, due to its more mature and deeper content.
The Wave also makes an excellent coffee table book since the pages are large and the illustrations have a very panoramic feel to them. I also find it difficult to write a review for a children's story because children's books are short already, which means that if I write much more than my review will be nearly as long as the book itself!
My recommendation is to check out the website and see for yourself the delights in this book, and then pick up a copy for your kids or as a gift for people you know who have kids. |

You Can\'t Get It \'Cause You\'ve Already Got It Stash Serafin and Ruth Ann Wood |
Buy it now at Amazon.com
What would life be like if you realized that everything you could ever want, you already had? In a nushell, that's the theory this book not only proposes is possible, it says is true and can be experienced anytime and anyplace. Coauthors Stash Serafin (blind figure skater, life and skating coach) and Ruth Ann Wood (author, life coach, playwrite) share their autobiographies as a means for practical insight into how this has been true in their own lives.
I found their stories to be enjoyable, insightful, and very resonant with my own spiritual path. Their conversational approach to this book makes it very tangible and brings their characters to life. Also, if you've ever thought "I can't do it" or "It's too hard," then Stash's experience provides the simplest, yet most powerful dose of inspiration you'll probably ever need.
One area I felt this book was lacking was in the "how to" area. The book gave some overviews of the process by which a person can realize they already have that which they want; however, the details aren't there. Although disappointing, I do believe there is a practical reason for this - although the process is the same for each person, the details truly are different... and the process is an iterative one in which people work together to find what works for each individual. Fortunately, the book does refer readers to the primary website Scripting For Success for those people who do want to dig into this process in more details.
Since this is a quick read, definitely check it out and if what you read resonates, then also check out their website to discover how to make the process more personalized for your unique self, life experiences, and dreams. |

Waiting for Autumn Scott Blum |
Buy it now at Amazon.com
As you begin "Waiting for Autumn", you may find it reminiscent of "Way of the Peaceful Warrior" by Dan Millman as your not-so-typical old wise man takes a young wayward soul under his wing, but as the book progresses you will find that it is truly a world of its own.
A magical world at that for this rich journey will open up new doors for you in regards to the capacity of the human soul, if you allow it to do so. Like sitting in front of a fire, listening to the story being told by a warm, gentle old friend, this book will warm your soul not only with its profound messages and emotional awakenings, but also with its soothing energy and tone.
"Waiting for Autumn" is as spellbinding as it is calm, as revealing as it is reserved, and as poignant as it is subtle. How can one book have so many different aspects, so many different faces? Well, if you've ever delved deeply into the human soul, this question probably won't be too difficult to answer...

Divine Interventions: True Stories of Mystery and Miracles That Change Lives Dan Millman and Doug Childers |
Buy it now at Amazon.com
The title is certainly no understatement, if you were to read even a small handful of these stories with an open heart and mind, you will undoubtedly experience an expansion of consciousness that only that of a miracle can bring.
Dan Millman and Doug Childers do an amazing job not only with finding some of the greatest stories of miracles and mysteries, but also of telling them in a voice that is rooted in the physical world. This voice enables the reader to experience the possibility of a miracle not from way up in the clouds but from the ground up.
In other words, if you've ever wanted to feel the kind of rapture that only comes from expanding one's reality in everyday life then these stories will do that and more. They will help open your heart, heal your soul and make you weep with joy as they take you on one incredible journey after another.

Rich Brother Rich Sister Emi and Robert Kiyosaki |
Buy it now at Amazon.com
At first I didn't plan to read this book, but when I saw it was about spiritual development I figured I'd give it a try. What I found was some excellent background on Robert Kiyosaki's path to success. The candor that he and his sister Emi share is heartwarming and enjoyable, and it really helps to see them in a more authentic light.
Since I have already done a lot of reading and working with my own spiritual development, the concepts presented were not new to me. As a result, I didn't personally get much out of this book. I also noticed several errors that got past editing - perhaps because this book was 'shotgunned' through the process.
(what I mean is, the process from writing to publishing was very quick, as is evidence by some of the topics discussed and the very recent date of publication)
However, for people who are just beginning (I mean really just beginning...) to think about spirituality in their lives, or who want to get to know more about Robert Kiyosaki as a person, this book could be enjoyable reading. |

The Traveler\'s Gift Andy Andrews |
Buy it now at Amazon.com
The Traveler's Gift is a terrific blend of not just practicality and spirituality, but also of fiction and non-fiction. The story begins as David Ponder, who just got laid off, feels he's a total failure in life. In a bizarre chain of events (which I won't share so I don't ruin part of the plot), he travels through time to meet 7 of the most influential people in world history. Each one of them has a piece of wisdom for him that will help him shift from the mindset of failure to success.
Because the book is mostly well-written fiction, it reads quickly and easily. I was continually curious as to what crazy situation would David Ponder be thrown into, and which influential person would he meet next. Though I didn't find this book taught me anything I didn't already know, I did feel that it served as a wonderful reminder of the innate power we all already have within each and every one of us. |

Happy Soul Industry Steffan Postaer |
Buy it now at Amazon.com
This is not your typical spiritual book. The plot begins with God realizing she is in trouble because the world has lost its "goodness." As a result, God sends an angel to start an advertising campaign to help the world become more good. Be forewarned, however, if you're offended by swear words, sex, or drugs, or the suggestion that God is female, then this book is not for you.
I did find the book to be a rather quick and sometimes enjoyable read. There are some meaningful messages in the story that are about as obvious as getting hit in the head with a brick. That's mostly because characters and/or the narrator explicitly state most of (not all) the messages rather than inferring them for the reader to gain personal insight from. In that way, I wish the messages were less obvious and the book allowed the reader to discover them on their own.
Though I wouldn't recommend this book for the general spiritual seeker, for those people who like to read spirituality with a debaucherous twist then this book is probably a good fit. |

Kiss of a Dolphin Tom Tuohy |
Buy it now at Amazon.com
This book will tug at your heartstrings, and just when you think it's tugged enough it tugs just a little bit more. This story is actually a compilation of stories leading up to creating the "Dreams for Kids" non-profit organization.
What started out helping children in the Chicago ghetto eventually became an organization giving to all disadvantaged kids, including the disabled. Just as importantly, this book is about all of the volunteers and the gifts that they receive as they help these kids live their dreams... dreams that many of them didn't think were even possible in this lifetime.
Reading this book begs the question: If some of these kids can accomplish what they have, not despite their disabilities, but because of them... what could everybody in this world accomplish with just a bit of help and a lot of heart?
Also note, all profits from the sale of this book go to supporting "Dreams for Kids." |

Return of the Prophet Hajjar Gibran |
Buy it now at Amazon.com
In reading this book, I couldn't figure out if it was trying to be fiction or non-fiction, biography, poem, or something else entirely. I found it difficult to engage with this book due to its lack of focus.
For example, the book talks about some of the challenges Hajjar went through. But it doesn't go into enough detail to feel like we truly know the author... by trying to be poetic, the book ends up staying just on the surface of what are timeless wisdoms.
Speaking of which, the wisdoms presented are timeless - but again due to the poetic nature, and the lack of focus, they are lost in a sea of missed messages.
One bonus is that the book is short - but even then it took me much longer to finish this book than it takes me of books twice and three times as long.
The book also seemed like it was trying to share timeless truths, but again the effort to be poetic overshadowed the truths in a way that makes everything sound good but difficult to really figure out what is being said.
This book is probably best suited for somebody who enjoys reading poetic beautiful words and isn't necessarily concerned about "learning" something new. Now that I think about it, the previous sentence sums up my review pretty well: I like to learn stuff from spiritual books, and I like to enjoy the process. In this case, I didn't enjoy the book nor learn anything I could apply to my own spiritual path.
On the bright side, the poetic nature of the book lends itself to some delightful quotes that are well-worth sharing. |

Harmonic Wealth James Arthur Ray |
Buy it now at Amazon.com
For some people, driving an expensive car makes them feel "wealthy" while for others it can be a a used Hyundai. Either way, James Ray encourages the reader to find what makes them *feel* wealthy to help align themselves with the Law of Attraction.
Harmonic Wealth is a book that I know I'll reference several times throughout my life. It offers practical advice in finding harmony within the chaos of different aspects of our lives, and there's a wealth of content to help make that a reality.
James Ray really connects with the reader through his candid conversational style and truthful account of his experiences. He shares moments in his life he's not so proud of, and he shares what he's learned.
There are a few ideas in this book which I didn't resonate with, and a couple comments he makes where I don't think James is even aware he's contradicting himself. I don't think that matters though because James is also up-front about the fact that he doesn't know everything about spirituality, and so he only gives insight and advice about what he does know. He also encourages people to only take the advice which resonates with them, and to discard the rest.
For those reasons, I liked this book even more. It's honest, not perfect, and encouraging to live a wealthier life in whatever ways feel right. In other words, James is human just like you and I and he doesn't try to be anybody other than somebody who's figured out a few things and wants to share them to help shortcut the pains many people feel in their path of spiritual growth. |

A Champion Lives Within Boyd C. Matheson |
Buy it now at Amazon.com
My father gave this book to me as a teenager, and though I enjoyed it I didn't truly appreciate its wisdom until I read it again recently. Is it possible to become a champion in all of life in just 6 short months?
In this parable, that possibility is real and the author even provides a workbook at the end to help focus your energy. This truly is a 'David and Goliath' tale... with David being you, me, or anybody else, and Goliath being the doubts and fears keeping us from reaching our true potential.
Be forewarned, this book was a limited self-published printing. Getting ahold of it is difficult (notice I couldn't even find an image of it online!) and the book now costs significantly at least 4 times more than the original price.
Even then, it's still well worth the money to buy and effort to find. |

Dream Giver Bruce Wilkinson |
Buy it now at Amazon.com
This parable is about a person, 'Ordinary' who decides to leave his hometown of 'Familiar' to follow his dream. He is presented with many obstacles, which anybody pursuing their dream will encounter, and the book is written in an easy-to-follow and quick-to-read style.
Though the author writes from a Christian perspective, the only time this is apparent is for a little while mid-way through the book. Generally speaking, you can replace 'God' with any other universal energy that resonates with you and the words will still feel right... because having dreams is universal to all people.
A friend recommended this book to me at a pivotal time in my life... a time when I am pursuing my dream to help people grow spiritually. I am grateful to have found it when I did, and I am sure that one of you reading this right now will also find it to be the right book at the right time in your life. |

Essential Laws of Fearless Living Guy Finley |
Buy it now at Amazon.com
If you've been having challenges taking ownership of your spiritual growth and really expressing your inner courage, then this is a book well worth the read.
It's not for everybody, however, so I recommend you read the summary or book jacket, or flip to a random page and see whether Guy's writing calls to you.
I will say that one of my personal favorite aspects of this book is that Guy shares several spiritual stories and then discusses, in-depth, the wisdom contained within each of them. |

Painless Childbirth Giuditta Tornetta |
Buy it now at Amazon.com
Written by a doula, this book uses the chakra system as its basis for healing through the next nine months and beyond. She noticed that each month of pregnancy corresponds with a chakra as the embryo/fetus learns the vital lessons that the corresponding chakra invites.
For example, the first month is associated with the first (root) chakra in which the embryo learns if it feels wanted and safe in its physical environment. This phenomenal book guides you through each month/chakra so that you can heal and grow right along with your baby. Most of us have residual pain and baggage from our own time spent in utero, so by using her guided techniques and visualizations you have the opportunity to heal each relevant chakra.
By learning about and healing each chakra, we open ourselves to the possibility of creating an ecstatic, painless birthing experience. This is the goal of the book, but there are, of course, many other long-term benefits to healing and opening ourselves up to divine energy.

The Spontaneous Healing of Belief Gregg Braden |
Buy it now at Amazon.com
This book will be very helpful for some very specific people - those who find themselves having undesired negative emotions, but whose emotions aren't completely overwhelming. The exercises on understanding your conditioning and beliefs can be helpful and powerful, if you take them seriously.
That said, I think that's because the title is somewhat misleading because it implies that we can heal the idea of 'belief' itself. While that may be true, more than likely you will be left with a new set of "better" beliefs to replace the old ones.
Also, the authors' voice comes across as presumptuous at times as he compares our reality to that of a computer. He's so excited about his analogy, and so convinced, that his 'voice' doesn't leave the impression that there is room for the possibility that his model of reality might not be accurate.
The ending also left me unfulfilled and seems like it was thrown on there to get more pages into the book. The book's potentially reality-shattering and life-changing climax goes almost unnoticed because it is so subtle, and so the last part of the book feels like filler instead of really bringing the reader into a new awareness and state of being. |

Diving Bell and the Butterfly Jean-Dominique Bauby |
Buy it now at Amazon.com
I have mixed feelings about this book. On one hand, it is insightful and inspiring to read the true story of the editor of Elle Magazine who had a stroke, became unable to movie anything except for his left eye, and still managed to write this book. Some parts of the book may move you to tears if you're able to connect with the author's own anguish.
On the other hand, the book as a whole seems rather bland and seems to be missing the spark that so many people said the movie had. It is a quick read, and if you keep in mind that the book was written by a completely immobile person, it serves as a powerful inspiration that we truly are much more than our bodies. |

Everyday Grace Marianne Williamson |
Buy it now at Amazon.com
Taking time out to commune with our Creator is the main message in this inspiring book. If we spent our mornings before work or school being with the Creator instead of watching the news, how would our lives change? She helps the reader see the importance of this divine time, not only for ourselves but for everyone and everything. She also takes one through an example of everyday life and how to live from a God-centered place rather than a reactive place. When we come more and more from this state of compassionate awareness, we are able to heal and ultimately be at peace with ourselves and the world.
This is a delightful read that will lift your consciousness to new heights and help you release the old and embrace the new.

The Knight in Rusty Armor Robert Fisher |
Buy it now at Amazon.com
This book was recommended to me by my friend John Manley over at MetaphysicalStories.com after we talked about what it really means for a book or movie to be "spiritual." John's recommendation was right on the money, too.
This movie was one of the few books where the character truly is on a spiritual path of self-discovery... of becoming one with his true nature. As a parent, my favorite element of this book was that it uses relatively simple language and easy metaphors, and is also a short quick read.
Not only did I enjoy it thoroughly, I look forward to reading it to my son when he gets older. For anybody who has children that enjoy being read to, this is a must-have. |

To Bee Or Not To Bee John Penberthy |
Buy it now at Amazon.com
Once I picked up this delightful fictional story, I couldn't put it down until I finished it. Though it feels like a mixture of Jonathan Livingston Seagull and Way of the Peaceful Warrior, this book absolutely stands on its own among the best spiritual books in recent years because it can be enjoyed by both adults and children alike.
I found that this story not only provided answers to some of the greatest spiritual questions of all time, more importantly, it also served as a pointer towards finding some of my own answers. Still, it wasn't until hours after putting the book down that I realized how profoundly this book had impacted me.
And if you have children, then To Bee or Not to Bee is a perfect bedtime story that your children will beg you to read to them again and again. |

The Celtic Way of Seeing: Meditations on the Irish Spirit Wheel Frank MacEowen |
Buy it now at Amazon.com
This insightful book will enlighten you about how each of the four directions plays a part in our individual lives. The west is the area in which knowledge and wisdom is cultivated, the north is the place of battle and strife, the east rules our home life and everything associated with it, and the south is where emotional healing and well-being occurs. He also adds that the center is where all four directions sync up in perfect harmony. Each direction shows us different aspects of yourself, whether it be what we are running from or what we tend to focus on already. By reading Mr. MacEowen's perspective of the Irish Spirit Wheel, you will undoubtedly have a great understanding of which internal directions you should focus on in order to attain greater health and prosperity. |

True Stories of Messages from Beyond Julie Mucha-Aydlott |
Buy it now at Amazon.com
This page turner, which is filled with stories written by those who've experienced encounters by their departed loved ones, will soften even the hardest skeptics. The first story is, by far, the most heart warming and captivating. Some of the later stories will make you seriously question your beliefs about life after death, if you haven't done so already. Many of the experiences the writers have had will give you goosebumps for there is often no logical explanation for what they describe. We recommend this book for those who love tales of encounters from the "other side" as well as those who enjoy expanding their mind and heart. |

Voyages into the Unknown (Exploring the Afterlife Series, Vol. 1) Bruce Moen |
Buy it now at Amazon.com
Bruce is an ordinary guy with extraordinary curiousity. After participating in programs at The Monroe Institute, he learned to communicate with the spirits of people who had died. As an engineer, he knew this wasn't possible and continually fought within himself and his beliefs to try and reject what he was experiencing. However, with each and every time he was able to verify his afterlife explorations, he began to accept that there is life after death. Like Bob Monroe, he strongly urges you to not take his word for it but to explore and experience the afterlife yourself. |

Zen Entrepreneurship Rizwan Virk |
Buy it now at Amazon.com
This book could be classified in any number of categories, whether it be spirituality, business, adventure, or even autobiography. The author pulls you into his world where all of those topics are merged seamlessly and, just as grapes become wine, what some may see as unbelievable becomes unmistakably tangible.
If you've ever wondered what spirituality has to do with business, this book answers not only that question, but its opposite - how does growth in business reflect and manifest itself in the spirit world? The answer may seem simple, but this book makes it clear through the author's own true experiences, that there's much much more to those questions than we realize. So much in fact, that I intuitively know this book will be one I read over and over throughout different times in my life, and each time I suspect I'll learn even more new and invaluable lessons.
Zen Entrepreneurship is a must-have for any spiritual library. |
