Eckhart Tolle
New World Library, 2004
The Power of NOW
After I had read the book I thought I understood it. However, a week later I kept thinking about it and got somewhat confused so I read it again. Now my wife is reading it. It really made me think about the wisdom of God.

Valuable information about stroke; but the book has its flaws
I debated over whether to give this book three, four, or five stars. The information that Dr. Taylor presents about the brain and stroke is worth five stars, without question. But I have a few complaints about how she presents this information; and lots of complaints ...

The Instruction: Living the Life Your Soul Intended
Ainslie MacLeod
Sounds True, 2007
"The Instruction" should really be "The Revelation"
I stumbled upon "The Instruction" as I was browsing in a major bookstore and I immediately snatched it, ran home and devoured it. Perhaps the title should have been "The Revelation" because that's what it felt to me: I was flabbergasted by such a powerful epiphany.

The God Delusion
Richard Dawkins
Mariner Books, 2008
A great read
While the arguments and examples in the book are very good, I have to say the best part is that it is actually quite enjoyable to read. Dawkins has a subtle wit and a talent for writing which makes a page-turner out of subject matter which is ordinarily quite dull. ...
