The author believes that healing the world is a perpetual process that is supported by three continuously-evolving points of focus. Together, she calls these the steps of "unfolding":

(1) discovering exactly what your work is,

(2) mastering your work by nurturing your partnership with God,

and

(3) sharing your work with the world and, in so doing, sharing the work of world repair with others.

The book is split into three parts that each discuss one of these steps in detail. Each section is written in easy-to-digest pieces with lots of examples, experiments, and "sound bites" taken out of the text and highlighted for the impatient reader. Each of the three parts also ends with a "Soul Map" -- synthesizing exercises that make the work quite practical. The book also includes a "Laboratory Tool Kit," an appendix of experimental tools that beautifully allows for the reality that everyone is different and will resonate with different pratices, mediations, and rituals.

I truly enjoyed the unique way the author looked at the world, and the way she revealed her mistakes and confusion to me. I loved that the book wasn't trying to sell anything -- it seemed open and full of love. I received insights that I could use in my life, right now, and that was satisfying and useful. It's quite rich, full of unusual ideas, not to mention the real-world approach to spirituality that seems to be unique among self-help books.

The biggest blessing (and curse) of the book is that it is not "light" reading. The author is clearly serious about this work, and that makes me want to do it­ -- as I read, I get excited (and frightened) by it. Having done the work on my own, and having seen others do it through my workshop series, I am convinced that the true power of the book comes not from the book itself, but how it can be uniquely used by each person as a transformational catalyst.

For these reasons, I'd recommend this book to anyone who is willing to take the radical step of discovering their purpose and the even more radical step of fulfilling it.

If you've ever felt like, "Some day, I'll know what I want to be when I grow up," and now you're beginning to wonder when (or if) that day will ever arrive, UNFOLDING is the book for you! Written by a spiritual scientist who believes in the wisdom of consciously working in collaboration with God, this excellent book provides you with tools you can use right now to find your best possible life path. When you learn the art of unfolding, you will remember how to be who you are, discover your purpose, develop your partnership with God, choose your soul's path, share your soul's gifts with others, and create healing in the world.

Julia Mossbridge is an award-winning neuroscientist who was inspired to become a life coach when she felt a need to find a more fulfilling life for herself. She knew that there was a lot of untapped potential inside of her, and when she set out to discover how to rebuild her life around who she really was, she was amazed at how much better that felt! UNFOLDING describes the process Mossbridge successfully teaches and uses to do the inner work required for living an outwardly successful life. Each section contains wonderful exercises that will help you see immediate results.

UNFOLDING is a friendly book that stimulates my imagination and delights my intellect, and I love it so much that I've been carrying it with me everywhere I go. I especially like the sections on "Creating Goal Communities," "Recognizing Splintered Paths," and the "Fear-Facing Practice." Another unexpected gem in this book is Mossbridge's amazingly clear explanation of how to integrate the seemingly opposite and unreconcilable philosophies of "Let Go, Let God," and "100 Percent Responsibility" when you create your partnership with God. For that section alone, this book is worth the purchase price!

Ms. Mossbrige has created a book that is both helpful, funny, and wise. I particularly enjoyed her personal stories. She seems like a truly wonderful human being with a lot of spiritual and scientific insight.

Highly recommended!

Julia Noonan's expressive book perfectly captures the essence of being best friends--with all its ups and downs. The warm, exuberant artwork has a classic feel, and the stories are sensitive and upbeat. Children I have read this with can't wait for more adventures with Hare and Rabbit.

Hare and Rabbit:Friends Forever is my second grade daughter's favorite new book. She reads it over and over and can't wait to read more of Hare and Rabbit's adventures. Thank you Julia Noonan for creating such wonderful characters who bring our children into an imaginary world and teach them values in a fun and endearing way.

These characters are SO marvelous! Ms. Noonan has got friendship (and the acompanying tribulations) down pat. Her illustrations are totally charming. A must read for all kids.

This is one of the best books out there for anyone considering breeding show dogs. Great details on how to study pedigrees and how to best develop your own line. Has become hard to find, but is well worth the money if you can locate a copy.

Whether you are a long time breeder or a novice, this book is a must. I have been breeding Yorkies since the late seventies and Maltese since the early ninties and I still refer to this book during each litter. This book provides easy to understand instructions along with pictures and graphics for breeding, the whelping process, and care of the pups afterwards including tube feeding if necessary. It details the warning signs of a failing pup so that you can take proactive action. Don't let the title scare you into thinking that this book is not for you. If you are currently breeding or if you are planning on breeding in the future, this is the only book on the subject that you will ever need. Amen.

This is the best book around for people with toy and small breeds. It was given to me when my first champion Bichon was about to be bred. I have used it with every litter for the past 20yrs. If you can find it, get it. It will be of great help.

I RATE IT 5 STARS........

This book has been an invaulable aid into understanding my wife and the world she lives in. I thank you and she thanks you. You might just have saved a our relationship.

"Living with Lawyers" provides valuable insight into the working life and thought processes of attorneys. I found it helpful to learn about the attorney perspective from a "neutral third party". Dr. Travis provides insight into the ways skillsets necessary to a successful lawyer can be detrimental to relationships. With better understanding of your lawyer, you both can work to build better working or loving relationships!

This is one of the best weight loss books I've ever read (and I've read them all). It is clear and well-written, non-gimmicky, with great tips for every situation. If you want to lose weight and you think you've tried everything, this book is for you.

This is a wonderful book. It contains the most current research in the field of weight management in a format lay people can easily understand. Cathy, very courageously, does not offer a quick fix. She over and over demystifies the weight loss experience, and honors how difficult it is to change behavior and keep it changed. The overeating stories are an absolute hoot! I know I will recommend it to my clients and use it for myself.

How do you battle weight loss and maintenance? In her book "Outwit you Weight" Cathy Nonas provides 200 tools and tips to help you achieve and maintain a healthy weight.

If you, like many people are concerned with the way you look and feel, this book will provide you many answers. In addition to tools, Cathy breaks down danger zones and physical fitness using real live examples. Healthy recipes are also provided.

"Outwit your Weight" is easy to read, well organized and full of facts and tips. Reading this book is like having a weight loss program at your fingertips. Definitely recommend.

This is my first novel by Julia Justiss. I read her novella in The Officer's Bride but was not particulary impressed. Looking at other comments about her work, it would appear that she started off not pleasing the reviewers but, fortunately,is growing with each additional work. Well, this one was terrific! It is a very evocative portrayal of a man and woman who, through circumstances beyond their control, knowingly and willingly enter into an illicit relationship which is fraught with the possibility of scandal. This creates a true frisson to their mutual passion which is shown in scene after scene to be deep, true and moving.

Emily Spencer eloped with her first husband and had a son. Both of them were disowned by their families but she was happy with him, following the drum during the Peninsular campaign. After his death, Emily returns to England and, to avoid her husband's family, she does not use his name and sets herself up as a designer and maker of hats. This makes her beyond the pale and a social outcast.

Until she is threatened with extortion by her landlord her life is as she wishes, her son safe and being privately educated by a priest. However, when her world is shaken by threats, she is rescued by the son of a customer, Evan Mansfield, the Earl of Cheverley. In order to "repay" him, she offers the only currency available to her - her body. He accepts, for he is terribly attracted to her, and they embark on a secret affair which becomes a "marriage blanc".

Unfortunately, a deathbed promise to his best friend means that Cheverley must marry his friend's sister, Andrea, and so the affair must end although, with reluctance but with helpless attraction, they continue to meet. Eventually, Cheverley goes abroad on government espionage business and eventually returns, injured and ill. Emily returns to nurse him and is discovered by her family, being taken into the family home, protected by the new head of the family, her husband's middle brother and one of her close friends from her army days.

Eventually Emily and Evan are reconciled although their path is not smooth. Both are full of self-doubts and both have been hurt by their pasts. However, their deep and abiding love help them to overcome the odds and their passion is finally satisfied.

This book is very well done; the plot is carefully executed, the descriptions of the ton, clothes, etc, are well done. The secondary characters are also good. I particularly liked Emily's brother and sister in law and Andrea. If you like adult characters with grown up emotions, behaving in a manner in context with the times in which the author places them, then you will enjoy this book. I look forward to trying some of the author's other work.

It's one of the best romance I have read in a long, long while. The story is fast-paced and totally captivating. The hero and heroine are very well drawn, I understand their motivations and like them both throughout the book. The intense feeling they have for each other is extremely moving. I will certainly be looking out for the author's next book.

I realize that this reveiw will not help much but I wanted to say that this book was very good. I recommend any book by Julia Justiss and eagerly await more.

I was reading E.Lynn Harris's book "A Love Of My Own", in it was mention of this book so I went on line to make sure it was a real book and guess what I went brought it and it is just wonderful. I can not say enough. I intend on buying copies for my sisters and my close friends and giving them as gifts.

This is a touching and inspiring book, even for a man. I really enjoyed all of the essays and the photos were beautiful.

This book is inspirational for me because I grew up with six brothers and no blood sisters. I have grown to know that my sister friends are more of a blessing to me, than I initially realized. I have girl friends that fill that void, and it's okay. My friends are also my sisters!!!! I recommend this book for anyone that's ever felt like they didnt have anyone. You realize you have more that you know. Nicole

This book is a terrific book, not only because it is well written and inspiring, but because it tells about important history.

The book brings to non-Indian children a sense that Native Americans are not just some people who lived in Tipis a long time ago. It also teaches them about the very important contibution made by one Native Nation to this country.

To Indian children, especially Dine, it can help bolster cultural pride and demonstrate the importance of their own people in this country.

I highly recommend this book! What a great way to help children understand the power of communication and true heros.
Bravo!

Author, Sara Hoagland Hunter, tells a beautiful story of a young boy's fears of moving off the reservation and leaving his grandfather. But John's grandfather tells him he will be all right, for he has something very special to take with him: he has the unbreakable code--the code that saved the lives of thousands of American in the Pacific during WWII. The history of the Navajo Codetalkers comes alive in this children's book and provides the code at the end of the book. Something all young readers are fascinated by. This book paired with the new GI Joe Navajo Codetalker action figure makes the perfect gifts for boys (and girls) who are interested in WWII history.

I have a collection of over 200 cookbooks, if I had to get rid of them all but one this book would be the one I kept. Volume two would be my next choice.

This is the BEST cookbook ever. I have soooo many cookbooks and it seems like this is the only one I ever actually use. Unique recipes, most easy to prepare. My guess is that one of the reasons bed and breakfast inns are so popular is the food... now make it at home too. Buy this book it's great!

I have had this cookbook for years it seems ..and give it as gifts.it is falling apartas I always revert back to it.. even though I have over 75 cook books...is'nt it time to do another one?????NANCY.

This is one of my favorite cookbooks. The recipe for Pasta and Beans is something of a winter staple in my house. Just like Mr. Beard told me, I serve it with red wine and good bread. The macaroni and cheese is also great as well as the fish stew...

I had a number of questions regarding pasta. Every time I made pasta something different would happen. This book answered my questions and some I didn't even know I had! He teaches you how to make pasta by hand and by many different machines. He recommends trying all of the methods to find what works best for you. I have not tried many of the sauces yet, but I like the variety available. He believes that pasta is not just for Italian dishes and includes sauce recipes for many ethnicities. For novice pasta makers this is the book to have!

This is one of my cookbooks which never gets put away. I proposed over a serving of the Pesto, and now my kids demand the macaroni and cheese. Some of the dishes seem like crazy combinations, but have become pot luck favorites. The pastitisio and the basil lasagne were big hits. No clunkers here.
