The Dore Bible Illustrations are magnificent. One looks at them and marvels at their intricasy and sensitivity. Everyone who sees this book asks how to obtain a copy. It is a brilliant and bright look backwards, like a trip to Sunday school. Special care has been taken to bind the book so that it will lie flat. Dover permits the use of the plates for creative endeavors, so for all the enthusiasts who like to make Greeting Cards for friends using scanned images, this is a wonderful tool. I highly recommend this book for every person who believes in Christ and I know this is wonderful to read and ponder before bedtime.

Dore's "Bible Illustrations" is a very beautiful and nostalgic trip into Victorian book illustration. I remember these images from a multi- volume "Bible for Children" that I had as a child. I was parted from those books,but always remembered the images, and what a lasting effect they had on my spirituality, and my internal image of God. I was so happy to be able to buy the Dore "Bible Illustrations" from Amazon. I am an artist with a special interest in Victorian imagery,and will treasure this volume. The plates are masterful,dramatic,quaint,and somewhat mystical in feel. I think any person interested in Victorian art,and Christian iconography will enjoy this book.

I would like to know the value of this book. My mom give me this book- 1940.

When you have a baby you end up buying a million books and reading everything you can. When you have your second, as I just did, you only have time to read the most practical books. This book gave me all the understandable nutritional information that I needed for a healthy pregnancy, plus 100+ great-tasting recipes that even I can cook and my family enjoys. This is one "pregancy book" that has a shelf life longer then 9 months.

Every recipe we've tried has been terrific: the ricotta cheese pancakes, the crab cakes with red pepper sauce, the turkey burgers, the cheese and spinach quesadillas... These are definitely recipes we'll keep using even after our baby is born, and ones we've already shared with friends and family (both pregnant and not). The authors include nutritional information for each recipe, as well as tips for variations and saving time while preparing the recipes. Highly recommended!

I am sixty-four years old with grown children and a grandchild and I am enjoying this book very much. The recipes are tasty, easy with well-written directions. Being a vegetarian, I especially enjoy the many meatless recipes and the nutritional information. This book is chock full of good information for anyone at any stage in their life.

Have you ever been in a good mood only to blow up at your spouse or child the moment they walked in the door after not seeing them all day; then blame yourself for the way you've acted? Have you ever driven past another car and gotten an instant headache? If you've experienced any similar circumstances, you need to read this book. The author will tell to you that you are normal...for being an empath. She will explain in very easy to understand terms why you feel and act the way you do and how to get relief from feeling like you may be crazy. Her terms like Emotional Oneness and Physical Oneness will help you understand yourself and how and why you do seemingly strange things and act strange ways. She explains the various kinds of empaths in such a way that you can pinpoint yourself through her text. You will learn how to control your wonderful gifts for understanding and helping mankind while making your life so much more comfortable. The way she writes makes you feel like she's sitting in front of you and personally teaching you about yourself as if she was you! Thank you Rose!!!!

We are all animals by nature our gut instincts have been dulled by technology. Empowered by Empathy awakens your instincts to help find personal peace and guide others. Grounding is one of many techniques Rosetree shares with you for empowerment.

Thankful,

If you are sensitive to the moods and feelings of others, do yourself a big favor and read this book! Empathic sensitivity (that is, pulling in emotional energy from people around you and experiencing it as your own) can be a big source of confusion and frustration. But Rose Rosetree helps you understand empathy as the GIFT it truly is. This book is all about learning to manage empathic sensitivity by using it with awareness and grace. When you learn how to turn empathy on and off, it becomes a choice instead of an uncontrolled experience. And when you do choose to "join in spirit" with another person in a skilled, balanced way, your consciousness expands and soars! You get to step outside the box of your own experience and explore the delicious "otherness" of someone else's consciousness, then return safely to a grounded sense of yourself. Rosetree defines numerous categories of empathy, including several that never would have occurred to me. I've always imagined empathy to be an exclusively EMOTIONAL connection. Who knew that a talent for getting in sync with another's THOUGHT process could be a kind of intellectual empathy? There are insights galore here. One of the things I like best about Rosetree's books in her use of Q&A sections. This gives her books an "interactive" feel that I really appreciate. It's the closest thing to a live workshop you can get in book form. If you know, or suspect, that you are a natural empath, don't pass this one up; it could be life-changing.

This magnifecent collection of short stories is an entry to the passages of an oneiric world bound to the hardships of reality. The author through a poetic language creates an aura of fantasy which enables the reader to foresee the souls of its characters. Social commentary is expressed not through a direct invasive dialogue, but rather by evocative introspections of prose directly linked to the political and economical status of its protagonists. Psychological latitudes are re-arranged to erase all possible misconceptions of gender and social conditions, creating in this way the anomality and normality of life itself. Content in this book goes beyond the mere narration of telling a story, it sumerges the reader into a dream-like experience without disconnecting itself from a magical plot of realities that will ultimately take you to experience the universal emotions of love, death and life. Ms. Salum is with no doubt linked to the great tradition of master mexican writers like Juan Rulfo and Rosario Castellanos. What separates Ms. Salum from them is the intuition of her prose, both mysterious and transparent, luminous full of suggestions. The reader will not find in Entre los espacios (Between the Spaces)a mere narration of stories, but a bounding experience to the human soul with its happiness and with its sufferings. A standing ovation for such a remarkarble book!

Entre los espacios es un libro extraordinario, lleno de imágenes y fantasía. Leerlo es como estar viendo un cuadro de Remedios Varo

I picked up this book with some interest as I grew curious after hearing Rose Mary Salum in the launching of her new magazine called "Visible Magazine". I thought "Entre los Espacios" is an excellent book containing various short stories that intertwine dreams with reality and poetic prose with fiction. These stories are about people from the streets, godesses and reflect a measureless imagination. I definitely recommend this book to everyone. This book characterizes the new literature written by Mexican women.

This book consists of selections from Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche's books, put together carefully by Carolyn Rose Gimian. Some of Rinpoche's poetry is also included.

The book is roughly divided into five sections: Shambhala, an introduction to basic Buddhist ideas, and each of the three yanas (vehicles) of Buddhism - Hinayana, Mahayana and Vajrayana (or tantra). Each part has several selections from Rinpoche's work. Being relatively new to Shambhala and Buddhist thinking, I found these essays very useful to get a better understanding of the basic ideas. However, I found the section on Tantra difficult to comprehend; a more advanced practitioner may find it more useful.

The chapter "Art in Everyday Life" was particularly refreshing. Rinpoche writes about practicing a non-aggressive and positve approach to art, linked to awareness practice.

Overall, this book is a comprehensive introduction to Trungpa Rinpoche's teachings. It has given me a good global picture and an idea of where to go next on this journey.

I recommend this book to anyone who wants to improve as a human being. I must have read three or four books on Tibethan Budism, and I can honestly say that Chogyam Trumgpa is my favourite monk so far.

His writings are really unique, since for the first time I could find a Tibethan who could share all of their ancient wisdom, but at the same time would still keep in mind how different and complicated our western societies are.

Mr. Trumgpa approaches several important and essential aspects of our lives, with such clarity and sweetness, that it was almost surprisingly how easily I could relate to most of his writings.

His writing style is really beautiful, reading like a "floating feather", yet approaching and analyzing several important subjects and aspects of human life.

This volume is particularly interesting, since it is a compilation of his thoughts, with selections from most of his books. This way, you can later easily choose which books by him to read, to further deepen into his writings.

One of the most important aspects of this book, is that I noticed that almost never Mr. Trumgpa puts himself in the position of a master talking to his students. On the contrary, he kindly puts himself among the human beings, and writes as someone who seems to understand how insane and stressful a western existence can be.

In short, this is a very interesting book, which packs a lot of wisdom. It may help we to achieve some balance, bring us back to track or help we finding new ways in our lives.

Using impecably plain language, this book summarizes the most essential spiritual teachings from the master who brought forth the Shambhala system of spiritual warriorship.

Carolyn Rose Gimian does a splendid job of selecting and adapting key sections from Ripoche's books. The teachings are woven into a compendium of fundamental guidelines for both spiritual advancement and living a more harmonious life in the material world.

This is unquestionably the one book I would share with everyone who wanted to understand the essential principles of buddhism, or just to find more peace of mind.

Darlene Diebler's story of her faith in the jungle during WWII is an even greater tribute to the faithfulness of God. Despite all of the persecution, trials, deprivation, and personal grief that Darlene encountered during the war, she tells how God supplied her with the strength to endure, often supplying her material needs, as well. The answers to prayer, as described in this book, are inspiring, absolutely AWESOME accounts!

I have bought several copies of this book to give to friends, and I will always keep one copy to encourage myself to keep going when times are difficult. This is a book that puts everything in perspective. God is faithful: this is the precious message that shines from every page! Diebler has blessed us by relating her story: a young bride who toughed it out as a prisoner of the Japanese by continuing to trust the One who was ACTUALLY in control!

This book has had a great impact on me. If you are interested in knowing what it means to truly trust God, in spite of personal loss, read this. Darlene Diebler Rose has greatly encouraged me as a Christian. Sometimes Christians are asked to endure great suffering and often without an explanation as to why the suffering is being allowed by a loving Father. She was willing to surrender everything to the Lord and because of her
faithfulness, her victory has been made known to many people. As a result, she has ministered to someone like me who really needed to gain a better understanding of what discipleship involves. Thank you, Darlene, wherever you are!!

This is the gripping story of an American missionary and woman of great faith who endured four years of foced labor and cruel deprivation at the hands of the Japanese army during World War II.

This book was great. It was a real page turner. I couldn't put it down. She is a great author. I didn't want this book to end and it truly made me cry. Loved it.

Do not start reading this book at night! I could not put this book down once I started reading it. I wanted the book to be longer. I want a ranch to rescue if I get a Brand!!!! I cannot wait for more books from this author. I've already reread this book. Definitly a keeper!!!!

This was a real page turner. Once I started it, I found it hard to put down. Brand was just the right mix of tough, sexy cowboy and sensitive male. You'll want to rope and brand him for your own!!

You'll enjoy this author and will want this book for your keeper shelf.

I wish this book were more publicized. It's not fancy to look at, but very informative and easy to understand. The difference your diet makes with regards to problems like hypoglycemia and infertility are incredible. Read this fascinating book and start feeling better!

After reading this book I went out and bought 10 more and gave them to my friends and family. It not only tells you what to eat but why. It is easy to read and understand.

After the stress of a divorce, my health began failing. I am young and not over-weight. I decided it was time for some life changes. This book put me on the right track. The information on how to eat healthy made a huge difference in my energy levels and overall well being. The exercise and motivational information allowed me to make positive changes in my life. It is rare to find a book that has the power to change your life. This book did and I highly recommend it. It is very well written and is much more than just another diet book. Anyone could benefit from reading it. It is a new book and may be hard to find, but it is worth it hunting down. I feel blessed to have found it.

This is excellent reading at home and on the go. You'll want to buy two of these just so you have one at home, and one you can really rough handle on the road. :) If you're into medicinal herbs or you just love knowing what's what out in the wild, this guide is number one! A MUST! You need it now.

This book was so fabulous, in fact, I give it more than five stars, I give it twenty! It is because of this book that I now want to be an ethnobotanical chemisist. This book has such pep and drive, just the Introduction and Preface make you want to go outside start a weed garden, picket the FDA, and go to college for seven years to get your degree in botanical chemistry. You don't believe me, but I'm serious. READ THIS BOOK! If not the whole book, at least the Introduction and Preface. It'll give you SO much energy.

This is one of the better field guides available for identifying and determining the usefulness of many medicinal plants found commonly in the Eastern and Central US. This guide is recommended for beginners and experienced medicinal plant enthusiasts alike. A must have book for the novice in this field.

Books like this are a necessity on your shelf. Both the author and illustrator deserve commendations! In these years when the world is full of fear and uncertainty, you can pull this book and read with your child about "what to be when you grow up". Adorable Fifo reminds us of the pure innocence and wonder about the future from a child's eyes. This is a fantastic book to ground us again and focus on those vital parts of growing up. I am a teacher and can recommend this book as a great learning/discussion tool for your classroom, too!

My child loved the book so much that she continuously comes up with new things she wants to be when she grows up. She is in the first grade and a beginning reader, so she is able to read the book by herself (which makes her quite proud.) Fifo is such a cute bear. This book is one of our favorites.

I loved it! I think this book should be read in all the schools.
It teaches kids, that they can be whatever they choose to be when they grow up! Also the illustrations by Jessie B. Orlet are the greatest!
