Excellent guide for Meditation
This is a wonderful guide for helping each of us to focus more clearly on our inner journey.

Fantastic -this book takes you from technique to experience.

I've personally found 'Inner Worlds of Meditation'
can take the reader from practical techniques to actual
experience of the inner and outer worlds of the spirit
realms we are all participating in.

You shouldn't miss it! ¡¥The Littles Go Exploring¡¦
Once I saw this book ¡¥The Littles Go Exploring¡¦,
written by John Peterson,the natural colour and the beautiful picture of the cover attract me to choose this book.
The story was said about some tiny people who went exploring to find an old man called Grandpa Little.He was a smart man who was the first little to understand electricity and had made the trip to explore the place,but unfortunately he is unsuccessful and lost his way.
After I read it,I think the most interesting part was the part about the Littles family found Grandpa Little.they tries to solve all theproblems when they went exploring.
I think the main character Tom and Lucy were the cleverest and bravest children in the family.They told their parents immediately when they discovered the secret room and they discuss with them.It shows that they were cooperative with the family members.Also,when UncleNick said that he needed two volunteers to go along,Tom answered that he could go very quickly.he didn¡¦t mind to lose his life tio find Grandpa Little.And Lucy,she was curious about everything and had her own decisions.Although she was very little,she provided a lot of opinions about the plan to find Grandpa Little.It shows that she was a wise girl and did all the things sensibly.
I really enjoy this book because of two reasons.First of all,I think the story is very interesting,it made me easily to put in it.Also,it is very meaningful,because it can tell us a lot of things about our life.I hope I can make myself clever,brave,confidentand mature like Tom and Lucy.I think this book is suitable for everyone,so I think you shouldn¡¦t miss it!

It is a book about little people.
I think this is a good book because it keeps you interested. This is probably the best book I ever read. Let me tell you what the book is about. The story is about old Grandpa Little who everyone thinks is dead except Granny Little until Tom and Lucy find a secret room with Grandpa Little's journal. And then the Littles go exploing to find out that Grandpa Little is not dead. This is a good book for any age and so are all The Littles books. If I could give this book more than 5 stars I would.

Bravo, excellent book
A guide, an action plan, a therapy, an instruction manual, a workbook, "Loving Each Day for Peacemakers: Choosing Peace Every Day" shows how to create peace within yourself and your life.... Every day. Filled with simple thoughts and comments that lead the reader into a deeper reflection of themselves. Each page has an exercise to help the reader reach within themselves and realize that if they are to have peace in their life then it has to start within and then provides the guidance needed to make those changes.

A book that belongs on everyone's bookshelf, not only to be read and worked through, but also just to be there for regular encouragement and direction. I can't imagine anyone being disappointed with this book.

Inspirational phrases and guidance admonitions
Loving Each Day isn't a library lending book - its diary-like format and blank pages are meant to be filled by the reader - but the general book-buying public will relish this survey of how to choose peace on a daily basis. The reader will want to be attuned to self image and open to writing, motivated by a diary of inspirational phrases and guidance admonitions.

Great sourcebook! Tremendously useful.
This book is well-written and covers a vast scope. Contrary to what the title might lead you to believe, this book covers a lot more than just plain mediums. In fact, it offeres detailed information on just about any faction in the Skinlands that might interact with the Restless Dead: "Boardwalk mediums" found at carnivals and circuses the ruthless Giovanni vampires, even charlatans and frauds who possess no real talent, but manage to offend wraiths with their very presumption and chicanery.

This book is definitely worth the purchase price- it will enrich virtually any Wraith chronicle.

Mediums done right
This is a fine resource for mediums, much better than the Quick and the Dead. The systems stuff is vastly improved, with a battery of new merits and flaws for mediums that I actually found useful (and can be used to supplement or replace the hedge magic paths for interacting with wraiths). There is some good stuff on summoning, a large section on Native American medicine men and shamanic dealings with the dead, a fresh look at many of the old ghost-dealing groups, and a new ability for those people who have had enough with wraiths shouting in their ears.

Outstanding Arrangement and Selection of Artwork
Mr. Bertram Ulrich demonstrates rare talent in picking out selections from NASA's art collection that are emblematic of different period's of the Agency's history.

An exquisitely illustrated history of the space program.
Mary Kalamaras was the in-house STC editor not the author. Please correct. I wanted, when planning the publication of this book, to publish an exciting and riveting history of the space program. I wanted to illustrate it with the extraordinary art collection that NASA has been building from its inception, inviting artists from Robert Rauschenberg to Norman Rockwell to attend its launches and observe and document its work. This published work is my dream come true. Brilliantly written and finally designed by Nai Chang, and superbly printed, it is everything a gift book is supposed to be: a great story informed by extraordinary images... in this case one of the most absorbing stories of the twentieth century.

scare the scare out of scary
This book take the scare of the the scary. I recommend this book to most of my clients who are dealing with the unknown or the metaphysical. Yes, that sounds sorta silly, but the boogieman can scare even the strongest of minds. This book educates and defines areas on the metaphysical realms.

Provides techniques for testing the information presented.
Techiniques are offered to test out the ideas presented in the book. Some of the ideas are common sense, some are new to me. There are some maxim's that jump out of the page, and I found something applicable to me right as I read them. Jumping around the chapters suited me best. I found it interesting with alot of information for a lot of different situations.

one of our favorites !
This is a beautiful book about an amazing human being. Although we all know the name Roger Tory Peterson, this is the first time I was able to learn about the man and his remarkable life and dedication to his work. Multi-talented, Mr. Petersons art is shown here in his paintings and photography...as my kids said " Awsome!"

Really enjoyed this one
I really enjoyed this coffee-table sized book about the late Roger Tory Peterson, the father of birdwatching. The book is a great resource on Peterson, and includes a biography of him sprinkled with his own words. There are hundreds of brilliant photographs and illustrations by this birding master, and anyone that has ever been interested in birds will enjoy it. Peterson's field guide from the 30s made it easy for anyone to observe birds without having to shoot them. This book is hard to find, but buying a used copy would be a good choice. Enjoy!

A lucid, scholarly, imminently readable and useful study.
When I met Jim Lewis in 1996, he was introduced to me as a scholar who was doing field research on the Movement of Spiritual Inner Awareness as a "New Religious Movement." My immediate reaction was, "Oh-oh," in the wake of some difficult past experiences with journalists and former colleagues who ended up misquoting me and others or using remarks out of context. I have read Jim Lewis's account of MSIA with great satisfaction and admiration, both because of its clarity and quality and also because of Jim's mastery of research and reportage. It is, simply put, a very good read, even for someone who has studied and practiced teachings through MSIA since 1976, as I have.

If you are at all curious about what all the talk about John-Roger has been about, or if you are looking for an experience-based, genuine teaching to "lean into" but are wary of hucksters, ego-maniacs, and others scary points of call, I highly recommend Dr. Lewis's book as a good starting point. If you are doing research on the various so-called new religious movements of the latter 20th Century, you couldn't find a better mentor or example to emulate. And if you are a parent or member of the clergy (I am both), whose child or parishoner has pursued an interest in MSIA, this book should do much to allay your fears and perhaps offer some reassurance.

With his impeccable credentials and breadth and depth of study in both Western and Eastern practices, Jim Lewis is someone who can tell you what some of us have known for many years but could not put so well on paper for a general readership. Here is a scholar not afraid to immerse himself in his subject, allow himself to actually experience what he studies, and then stand back and faithfully report his findings in an appropriately objective way that also expresses great humanity.

As a fellow educator, researcher, and writer with a 30-year background in "New Age" and esoteric/mystical practices here in the West, I take my hat off to Dr. Lewis. Jim, you set a high standard for all of us, and I am especially grateful as a student in MSIA to be able to encounter this subject area through a more objective viewpoint. This book is a great gift and makes a great gift. Thank you.

Here's a balanced, no-agenda look at an unusual organization
I found Seeking the Light to be both interesting and helpful because apparently Dr. Lewis looked at the controversy and decided its sensationalism had no place in a balanced work. He presents a clear account of the historical facts ... .

What I appreciated was learning of the long and deep spiritual roots of the practices presented through MSIA, and the history of the organization that seemed to me to neither play up or play down any part of the story. It is a fascinating objective academic study, not a tabloid tell-all.

Pick apart the book on its literary merits. Leave the personalities and the politics out of it.

I liked the book. I found value in it. I think people who are interested in non-traditional religions - or just in an interesting story of a contemporary spiritual movement will like it too. It's readable. The author is well versed in both the field of spirituality/religion and the specifics of this organization. He presents the story with taste, humor and clarity. What more can one ask of any book?

A wealth of information
I've been amazed at the amount of information packed into this small book. In addition to the handy lists of information, such as the list of flowers that will produce seed for birds, there are also amusing and inspiring anectdotes sprinkled throughout the book. Definitely worth having in your library!

A wonderful addition to the birdlover's library!
John Terres provides fascinating insight into the life of songbirds and how to attract them to your home and garden. Beyond mere identification, the descriptions of individual bird behavior greatly enhance the birdlover's understanding of their feathered friends. Included are easy-to-follow suggestions for making your own bird feeders, houses, baths and other sundries, and references to other intriguing books on living with birds. I would highly recommend this book, more for the depth of information than it's ease of use as an identification tool.

A remarkable anthology of twenty-four poets
The Franconia, New Hampshire, farm of the American poet Robert Frost was turned into a museum and center for poetry and the arts in 1976. From that time, "The Frost Place" has been annual event wherein an emerging poet has been invited to spend the summer living in the house where Frost once lived and wrote some of his greatest poetry. The Breath Of Parted Lips: Voices From The Robert Frost Place, Volume One is a remarkable anthology of twenty-four poets, each of whom won that honor of a summer's residency and document the success of the original concept as a means of generating outstanding poetry while nurturing the poet's muse in the rooms and views that were once the inspiration of the great Robert Frost. Poem At 40: Windwashed--as if standing next to the highway,/a truck long as the century sweeping by,/all things at last bent in the same direction./An opening, as if all/the clothes my ancestors ever wore/dry on lines in my body:/wind-whipped, parallel with the ground,/some sleeves sharing a single clothespin/so that they seem to clasp hands,/seem to hold on.//And now that I can see/up the old women's dresses,/there's nothing but a filtered light./And now that their men's smoky breath/has traversed the earth,/it has nothing to do with them./And now that awkward, fat tears of rain/slap the window screen,/now that I'm naked too,/cupping my genitals, tracing with a pencil/the blue vein between my collar bone and breast,/I'll go to sleep when I'm told.
