The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom, A Toltec Wisdom Book
Don Miguel Ruiz
Amber-Allen Publishing, 2001
Simple and brilliant
The four agreements are simple, and, yes, obvious. What's not so obvious is what they *do*. They keep you from receding back into the Dream, back into dealing with the *story* you have in your head about the world and the other people who are in it. These are tools ...

The Irresistible Revolution: Living as an Ordinary Radical
Shane Claiborne
Zondervan, 2006
A Bold Resistance to the Status Quo
Shane "gets it," despite what some intelligent, well-meaning reviews/reviewers suggest. God is not something "out there" waiting to judge, condemn and/or save believers and cast into hell the non-believers. God is in our action. In our kneeling eye-level comfort of a ...

Living a Life of Inner Peace
Eckhart Tolle
New World Library, 2004
life transforming
After reading his books, it's fantastic to see Eckhart in the flesh, teaching in his wonderful slow and calm manner. If there's any doubt that he is a 'realised' human being this evaporates when you experience his teachings. This is a wonderful companion to his books, ...

A Foreign Policy of Freedom: Peace, Commerce, and Honest Friendship
Ron Paul
Foundation for Rational Economics and Educati, 2007
My God How Can One Brain Have This Much Smartness?
I'm just stunned at how vast Mr. Paul's knowledge is. All of the things he has been fighting for in congress over the decades are well founded in facts and reason. He knows history, he knows what makes for a prosperous and happy people, and he knows how to clearly ...

Loving What Is: Four Questions That Can Change Your Life
Byron Katie, Stephen Mitchell
Three Rivers Press, 2003
transformational
I was slightly puzzled by this book at first - I thought the four questions were too simple. But by the time I reached the end I had got it - a profound change occurs almost without you realising. Byron Katie's work is really a radical form of cognitive therapy which ...

The Last Lecture
Randy Pausch, Jeffrey Zaslow
Hyperion, 2008
A Timeless Classic
First off, let me say that this is my first review of a book on Amazon. You could say that I was overwhelmed by compulsion to write one.
The most important things about this book, in my opinion, will largely be insufficient to most readers, indeed my thoughts ...

Three Cups of Tea: One Man's Mission to Promote Peace . . . One School at a Time
Greg Mortenson, David Oliver Relin
Penguin (Non-Classics), 2007
A Book Worth Reading
This book is very moving. It is a life story of a man fully devoted to a very noble mission. This book is true and inspiring. Some of my dear friends have read it and found it wanting, but I think they have read too many untrue novels. I am grateful to Greg ...

On Combat: The Psychology and Physiology of Deadly Conflict in War and in Peace
Dave Christensen Grossman, Loren W. Christensen
PPCT Research Publications, 2007
Must Read
This book is a must read for anyone even thinking about joining the Law enforcement community. I think that it should be a required read for cadets in every police academy

The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment
Eckhart Tolle
New World Library, 1999
The Power of NOW
This book is worth buying! Just as good as I expected since I had already read Eckhart Tolle's, "A New Earth". This kind of teaching should be taught
in elementary schools to young people. It could change the course of their lives!

The Financial Peace Planner: A Step-by-Step Guide to Restoring Your Family's Financial Health
Dave Ramsey
Penguin (Non-Classics), 1998
A Must Read!
Dave Ramsey hits it on the head - I wish I had read it at 18 years old. Personal money management can be tough, but this book (as well as all the Dave Ramsey books) gives very clear, concise instruction on how to manage your life's fortune (or how to create a life's ...

War and Peace
Leo Tolstoy
Knopf, 2007
War & Peace
I read War & Peace when I was 18 years old and now that I am 70 I have read the new fantastic translation and I think it should be required reading for every college graduate and then be read again with age. Tolstoy has much to inform us on the folly of war and love ...

Susan Wise Bauer
Peace Hill Press, 2006
Classical homeschool
Even more fun with the activity book. Better for the younger ones, say under 10 years old, but still enjoyable for older kids.
