What a helpful and insightful guide for beginning meditators! As interfaith minister and teacher of meditation of 18 years, I will recommend this book to all those who wish to begin the process of learning how to sit and inwardly listen. I remember the days when I began meditating. Like Come and Sit, I went from tradition to tradition and technique to technique. Listening, searching and sometimes groping. This book --had it been available at the time---would have not only aided but perhaps simplified and streamlined my search.

I also appreciated the way the author "listened". The personal interviews with various individuals of different backgrounds are invaluable and lend an intimacy to the book. The reader (including myself) finds a bit of her/himself revealed through others on a similar spiritual path.

For someone wanting to begin meditation, this book is invaluable! There is also an extensive resource guide of books and meditation centers which would prove very useful.

"Come Away With Me" has lyrics with striking language that tugs at the mind as well as at the heart. The lyrics to "As Rachel Mourned her Children will not leave a dry eye as it explores the reasons why humanity tolerates child abuse. Another text speaks of Jesus who asks us to be not slaves or servants but a friend. Text after text reveals thoughtful and timely words relating our lives to Christian spirituality. Another gift of this volume is the music. John Horman, the composer of the tunes, has found singable and memorable music. Yet they have a modern sound with a hint of jazz chords. I really enjoyed reading and singing through this collection and look forward to bringing these to life at First Presbyterian Church in Scottsbluff, Nebraska.

This book enabled me to take my work as a RN and Massage Therapist for Hospice to a new level for my wonderful transitioning souls. I recomend it to all who have a calling to take this journey a step further to help yourself by helping others.

When I read this book, I never expected to actually perform an exorcism or anything. I had just seen the movie The Exorcist and gotten into it. The book is very detailed and actually made me think I could perform an exorcism. Perfect 5 stars for those who read it as a pleasureable book.

THIS STORY IS ABOUT 2TWIN SISTERSWHO ARE NOTHING ALIKE.AN AIR MAIL FROM OUTER SPACE ACCEDENTLY DROPS SOME LETTERS SAILING DOWN TO EARTH.CONNIE&BONNIE CATCH A BIRTHDAY CARD FROM PLUTO.SO THEN THEY HAVE TO BUILD A ROCKET SHIP.

An easy to handle book that can be placed anywhere because of its size.The verses are inspirational about the effect nature has on an individual and 2. The reverencing of the majestical power of God is all through the book.I use it as an inspirational book to remember my mother by, that is why I brought it. She loved flowers and she loved life in her own quiet way.

All casebooks should be written as well as this one.

This is a highly readable discussion of the 33 and 34 act requirements of the SEC as they apply to accountants. I think it is essential reading for any Controller/ CFO or independent accountant about to perform work for and SEC registrant or private company about to file an s1.

I find it highly readable. The CD alone is worth the price.

I am writing as a layman, interested in Bonhoeffer's story ever since discovering his "Letters and Papers From Prison," which moved me deeply when I first read it more than a decade ago. I spent much of a year attempting to translate that book into a full-length play, and in the process became more familiar with it, eventually concluding that for a lay audience, his story is too ineffably sad. After a couple of readings, I put it away. I understand that there has been a growing outpouring of scholarship devoted to Bonhoeffer in the years since then, and this book has been my first encounter with it. Having said all that, I'd like to express my appreciation to the authors for their effort to shed a new, welcome light on Bonhoeffer's life and work.

In a world and at a time when movie stars and new age advocates speak easily of "spirituality," it was brave for the authors to characterize their perspective on Bonhoeffer with this word. While admitting in the introduction that they could not settle on a definition of the term themselves, they proceed to discuss the various aspects of Bonhoeffer's life, actions, and faith in terms of his devotion to Jesus Christ. In exploring the evidence of his living faith, in word and deed, they represent Bonhoeffer as an example of moral leadership in a specific time and place in human history. And the result is to make this somewhat enigmatic man and his ideas more accessible for us today.

What comes across for me most strongly in the book is how much Bonhoeffer's writings and actions were a direct response to the Nazi government and the acquiesence of the German Lutheran Church. The issues that drive what he has to say reflect specific actions and policies of the government and the inaction of the church, which allowed its authority to be coopted by Hitler and the rising tide of German nationalism. The concept of "cheap grace" in "The Cost of Discipleship" is not an abstraction but a direct reference to the church's real lack of moral leadership at a time when resistance to the Nazi regime was most needed.

The book portrays the personal drama of a man who kept his personal life very private (one cannot imagine him on a talk show discussing his "spirituality"). The authors give us glimpses of his private world in reports of those who remember him, but nowhere is the private man seen so openly as in his intimate letters to Bethge and in the prison poems, which the authors devote the last chapter to. Here we find both the tentativeness behind his outward courage and the depth of his devotion to his chief source of strength. I have found this book very readable and recommend it to anyone with a basic knowledge of Bonhoeffer and a curiosity about how this man lived out his faith and remained steadfast to the end.
