A Path and a Practice: Using Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching as a Guide to an Awakened Spiritual Life
William Martin
Da Capo Press, 2004
A Book Written By a Gentle, And Wise Man
I've met very few authors who's writing made me want to actually go to meet them, but after reading William Martin's 'A Path and a Practice', I've decided that I'd really love to sit down and speak my heart to Mr. Martin.
Although his translation of Laozi's 'Tao te ...

Lover Awakened (Black Dagger Brotherhood, Book 3)
J.R. Ward
Signet, 2006
Best of the series
I wasn't really looking forward to reading Zsadist's story because he was such a hard character to like, but wow! This book blew me away. I've read it twice already and it was even better the second time.
The only negative thing I have to say about the BDB series ...

Margaret Wise Brown: Awakened by the Moon
Leonard S. Marcus
Harper Paperbacks, 1999
This is the antithesis of breezy bios
The bizarre bohemian-preppy life of Margaret Wise Brown captured by Leonard Marcus in "Awakened by the Moon" is an excellent enjoyable read comparable to Andrew Wilson's "Beautiful Shadow" biography of Patricia Highsmith. The only flaw is Marcus did not interview ...

Awakened Imagination/the Search
Neville
DeVorss & Company, 1993
This book puts it all together- all you need !
Well I've read a lot of Law of Attraction material, but this one put it all together for me as far as imagination and the mind goes.
Although if I would've read it first it may not have sunk in as much.
Lots of underlining in this book !
Really emphasises ...

MaryRose Occhino
Atria, 2008
Say I LOVE YOU to seven people
I have read all of Mary's books and have enjoyed them all. I loved when Mary gave the advise to say I LOVE YOU to seven people each day. I started saying it to people I wouldn't normally say it to, but felt love for, and it felt so good to say it out loud. Mary gives ...

The Awakened Heart: Opening Yourself to the Love You Need
Gerald G. May
HarperOne, 1993
Inspired Writing
It happens that sometimes in moments of silence, honesty and surrender we become aware of our deep desire for love - both to love and to be loved. This deep desire is our true nature and it is God's life in us. This is May's simple thesis. The power and beauty of his ...

Mindfulness Yoga: The Awakened Union of Breath, Body and Mind
Frank Jude Boccio
Wisdom Publications, 2004
Exactly what a yogi needs to know
I've been doing yoga for about 5 years and began to become more interested in why we do yoga, in its spirtual underpinnings if you will. This book perfectly addresses that topic. There's an excellent description of yoga's origins and relationship to Buddhism. ...

As It Is: The Open Secret to Living an Awakened Life
Tony Parsons
Inner Directions, 2000
The Most Direct
There are quite a few good books available now focused on enlightenment and based on a non-dual or advaitic perspective. But of all those I have read the ones by Tony Parsons are the most direct. His words point with the utmost clarity to what is beyond words, that is ...

The Self Awakened: Pragmatism Unbound
Roberto Mangabeira Unger
Harvard University Press, 2007
Provides inspiration more than guidelines
I feel like I gained a lot personally from The Self Awakened. On a larger political and economic level, I think its guidelines fall short of its wonderful spiritual and philosophical message.
Unger's basic spiritual stance is very compelling: that each person (and ...

Awakened by the Spirit: Reclaiming the Forgotten Gift of God
Ron M. Phillips
Thomas Nelson, 1999
Historically and Scripturally Enlightened
Having been a Baptist all of my life I found Dr. Phillips' book to be very challenging. I found myself searching the scriptures and prayerfully considering the content. I must say that when I place the Bible beside Dr. Phillips' book I can find nothing but truth. I ...

Embracing the Present: Living an Awakened Life
Leonard Jacobson
Conscious Living Publications, 1997
The Real Deal
Leonard Jacobson's writing reminds me of a friends observation - "People with knowledge write books. People with wisdom write poetry". Leonard has wisdom. Most pages have short paragraphs that carry an essential truth in a digestible form. If you like Ekhardt ...
