This book wasn't written this year, but correlates to events happening concerning gun control at the present time. Is there a conspiracy to snuff out any part of our Bill of Rights? Why do certain politicians and groups seem intent on utilizing tragic events as a reason to destroy the second amendment? Is this truly a fictional story? Interesting! Decide for yourself.

THE ROOTS OF HEALING is a book that explores how the nature of our soul infuses health and well-being. It is a series of questions and answers provided by leading edge thinkers who understand the power of spirit to heal. This book reminds us of our true nature. More importantly, we are reminded of the roots of healing itself - our soul. When our soul experiences well-being, the possibility for physical, psychological, social, and spiritual unity becomes an expression and extension of the unmanifest becoming manifest. Thanks to all who contributed to the future of medicine. Samuel Oliver, author of, WHAT THE DYING TEACH US: LESSONS ON LIVING.

An in depth and comprehensive strategy guide. Very good.

After you read this book, and if you believe the fact that Bernie Parrish lays out are 100% accurate, you will believe that ANYTHING is possible, if the lords of the NFL want it to happen. This book will shake your faith in the NFL like no other. If you believe last year's fumble in the snow was "questionable" you will come to a very different conclusion after reading this book - even though it was written over 20 years befoe the event.

This is a book that Oliver Stone could make into a movie without any effort at all.

A truly great read, with fascinating, infuriating, and eye-opening inside details of the NFL that the league never wanted to see hit the light of day.

This is an updated version of a book DeKoven wrote many years ago (1978). Its title could also be "The Well-Lived Life." Those who have read his Connected Executives already know how much importance he gives to enjoyable as well as productive human activity. Throughout human history, playing all manner of games has been and continues to be one of the human race's defining characteristics. For whatever reasons, some people view "games" as being merely recreational while others view them as trivial. DeKoven takes "games" very seriously because he seems to believe, and I agree, that in our contemporary society, there is a great deal of pleasure but very little joy. Unabashedly, DeKoven celebrates the playing of games well for the joy it can provide. Those of us who have been associated with the Special Olympics can attest to the great importance of participation for its own sake, rather than for any awards to be won. There are no "losers" among the participants in Special Olympics. In the games which really matter, there never are.

In his Preface, DeKoven refers to a "unique and profound synthesis" whenever a game has been well-played. Having explored the meaning and implications of this synthesis, DeKoven concludes that having fun is much more important than winning. The greatest competitors (in athletics, politics, business, whatever) manifest the "synthesis" which informs and directs DeKoven's observations throughout the book. That is to say, an athlete such as Michael Jordan, a politician such as Theodore Roosevelt, and a business executive such as Jack Welch ultimately compete only with themselves. They are literally obsessed with playing the given "game" to the absolute limit of their capabilities. They hate to lose, of course, but what they hate even more is to lose because of insufficient preparation, concentration, and engagement. There can never be any joy for them in a less-than-best effort. The well-played game is a celebration of their potential fulfilled...whatever the final "score" may prove to be.

If I understand DeKoven correctly, his fundamental thesis in this book is that all "games" should be well-played within a framework of "rules" agreed upon by participants. Even in the absence of such agreement, each of us must still be guided by both passion and delight in the playing of them as well as we can. Such "games" range from marriage and parenthood to career and citizenship. What we must do, DeKoven seems to suggest, is to validate the playing of games for the fun of it, whatever the eventual result may be; also, in so doing, to affirm excellence of effort (both our own and others') and thereby extend and enrich a sense of shared community; finally, by playing each game well "we might be able to raise the stakes infinitely."

DeKoven encourages me to wonder: What if we called "Time Out!" on verbal and physical violence in all forms throughout the world? What if we agreed to have a global picnic to which everyone is invited? In addition to an abundance of delicious food, there would be lively music, hot air balloons, pony rides, and group activities which include all manner of games plus kite flying, square dancing, and a karaoke contest. (Only heads of state would be allowed to participate in mudwrestling competition.) And why not have everyone wear one of those Dr. Seuss hats? Of course, such a global picnic will never happen but wouldn't it be fun? If national armies and allied forces can fight well together, surely they and their opponents can also play well together. DeKoven has almost unlimited faith in what the human race can accomplish if the "games" played celebrate both competence and joy...and are played well.

This volume of collected sermons is well worth searching for. These sermons are vignettes drawn from the author's life and his journey through time in realms both real and mystical. As he addresses the issues of growing up, the pain of loss, the mystery of God, and what it means to really reach out to one another and together reach out to God these sermons read more like letters of the sacred to secret places in the soul. I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting the inside view of what it is to grow up to become a rabbi and what it is to grow spiritually as a rabbi and a man. This is a book for people looking to be moved in mind, heart, and soul.

This book presented facts about types of reptiles through poetry in a way that captivated my five-year-old boy. He enjoyed the whimsical pictures and the context: imagining what it would be like to see reptiles dancing at a ball--without eating each other! In addition to reptile facts, the book demonstrated many different types of poetic form. A rhythmic reading of this books entertained and involved him from start to finish. This book could be used to teach zoology or poetry, but in both cases the result would be a fun time for all.

I collect milk mustache ads, and was so happy when they came out with the book! Its a cool book, but many ads were missing. At least 3 common ads were missing, and a bunch of contest winners, and even some popular spoofs. If the sequel includes these others, it will be complete! Otherwise, buy it today!

As an avid milk mustache collector, seeing this book in bookstores the first time was an incredible surprise. I was thrilled that I could finally have a collection of all the milk mustache ads I have enjoyed for so long. I especially love how they included different poses that were not used in the final ads. My only complaint is that a few ads I know of were not included in the book, and that they could have included a bit more actual info and background. But for any milk mustache ad collector, this is the book you have been waiting for! :-)

I give this book 5 stars because I think that it explains the milk ads very well. If you are a big time collector like I am, you should take a look at this book it's great!

I bought the book about 1 year ago and can't understand why it hasn't helped with some of my medical conditions. Lower back pain, neck pain, muscle spasms, weight loss and general stress. I did the exercises 2 times a day for 4 to 5 months. I never got any good results so I stopped doing them.

I read all the testimonals of the great relief from various problems and am unsure why it hasn't helped me.

I read this book from cover to cover. I already have a very good understanding of what the seven Chakras are, how they work and the Tibetan philosophy, which is good because the book really doesn't get into that, although I think it should. The philosophy and way of life is more important than the five exercises that are performed daily. It is drastically different from our Western way of thinking and this book tries desperately to put the Tibetan monks system of beliefs and views into a Western category of thinking, which is WAY off! It is NOTHING like American ideals, philosophies, and way of life and should NEVER be compared to it. It is completely different. That aside, the book does explain each Rite (or exercise) very clearly and in case you are wondering, YES, they do work. They give you more flexibility, they make you feel younger, they have a detoxifying effect on the body and they make you more relaxed. It is basically stretching and improving your circulation, which in essence makes you feel and look younger. ONE THING YOU SHOULD KNOW!! READ THIS CAREFULLY PLEASE. If you want to look as young as the Tibetan monks described in this book you need to be CELIBATE. This is something they don't tell you from the beginning. It is only half way through the book that this little tidbit of information is revealed. I think this should be plastered on the cover!! After all, how many of us are willing to become celibate even for a couple more years of life? Come on now, be truthful! The book even gives you an exercise to release sexual tension. This is what I have to say to that: I would rather die young than live a long, healthy life without sex. That's just my opinion of course, but it just ain't worth it. I'm not a monk and I don't want to be one. My suggestion, if you want to look and feel younger, exercise at least 5 days a week for at least 20 minutes a day, eat right and reduce the amount of meat and unhealthy fat in your diet and if you want to detoxify your system, take a good multi-vitamin twice a week. I'm serious about this. It would work just as well and you won't have to swear off your significant other who may not understand that you are going into celibacy to discover the Tibetan monk's fountain of youth.

I think it more or less goes without saying that this book is incredible, all you have to do is read a couple of the reviews and I think you can see that it really is what it is cracked up to be. I knew that it was real from the very first time I did the rites. The amazing inner energy and feelings that I experienced were enough to turn me into a believer and shortly afterwards into a fanatic. Everything that has been said, I can vouch for, and say that I have either experienced, or, I am very sincerely, and eagerly, anticipating to experience soon. Oh yes, no doubt...it is a great book!!! I just want to add one or two things that may be helpful to anybody trying them out. When I started doing them, every couple of weeks I would throw my neck out so bad that I had to go to the chiropractor, and it was so painful and debilitating, that at times I could not move at all, I imagined that I had broken my neck, and at times, felt like I would die! It was unbelievable. Anyways, I could tell more about that, but to make a long story short, I found that it was this new energy that was beginning to travel up my spine that had caused all these disturbing things, and, after about four starts and stops now, it has all finally sorted itself out, and I know that this energy is from god, and that I was just being tested in my sincerity of wanting to follow him! I am now up to doing them 17x each day, and, I feel it is a miracle that I am able to do them. I did not think I would ever be able to. I feel better now than I have ever felt before in my life, that is all I am going to say! If anyone has problems with anything when you are doing these rites..."believe, and it shall be made right!" Also, do not do them so intensely, be kind to your body, and do not push any of the arching movements at first...you will be o.k.! I am indebted to Amazon, for this reviewer's section, because I got a lot of encouragement from reading about other people's experiences...This is more than just a book, dudes, it is really a gift from god!

In this amazing book originally written in 1926, Dr. Ernest Holmes, like Jesus, transcends the current culture and speaks a higher Truth. Jesus taught consciousness but most people do not understand consciousness since of the 26 versions of the Bible, all of them are interpreted rather than translated. Dr. Ernest Holmes gained the awareness to understand the work of Jesus and in the Science of Mind, provides the reader with Spiritual Mind Treatment patterned after the manner in which Jesus prayed, which always demonstrated affirmative results! This philosophy is "change your thinking and change your life," which is a restatement of Jesus' "it is done unto you as you believe." Our beliefs create our experiences and the Science of Mind provides a teaching that creates positive changes by teaching the reader how to change their beliefs.

Only read this if you are willing to take full responsibility for all that you create in life! Ernest Holmes demonstrates an in-depth integration and synthesis of many philosophical and metaphysical traditions and systems of thought throughout the book. Blending these thoughts with his own understanding, he extracts a truth that is whole, intelligent, wise and uplifting. The insights, ideas and inspiration contained in this book can completely change your world view to one of power, passion, connection, strength and purpose. You'll definitely create more love in your life! Your spiritual life will be renewed. CAUTION: New, thought-provoking words seem to creep into this book each time you set it down, so, keep your highlighter handy!

This seminal work has created a whole spiritual movement - Religious Science which numbers more than 100,000 people worldwide. More than any other book on metaphysics, it clearly explicates the universal laws that govern this universe and that can be understood by the human mind.

Science of Mind is based upon the great spiritual ideas from both east and west. There is no dogma here. Rather it is a work about the power of the human mind to heal, to create, and make a better life for oneself. This is metaphysics at its absolute best.

Please remember that SCIENCE OF MIND is a textbook, not just a easy reading prose. It requires discussion and review for it to illuminate the mind and heart. Enjoy one of the finest books ever to be written about metaphysics and new thought. A gem.
