I have read just about every nutritional book out there over the years and found this book to be the best by far. It is a complete course on nutrition, covering detoxification, herbs, what to eat, what not to eat, and especially all the "whys." Until I read this book it all seemed so complicated and out of reach that I was about to give up. The author simplifies it for us. There are no gimmicks, no quick fixes, no imbalanced eating plans. He reminds us that eating right is what our body wants us to do. You will know when you read this book that what Dr. Santillo says is true. My wish is that every medical doctor could read it. I will always be grateful that I found this book. Throw away all your other books and buy this one. Use the money you've been spending on books to buy good quality food. Do what Smokey says and make everything you eat count. Eat light, simple, quality foods and you will find you require less food and have more energy. Thank you, Dr. Santillo.

A rare book with deep insight. I found it to be balanced (both in concept and in practice). I have already been applying many of the concepts the author writes about but it is delightful that Dr. Santillo has distilled many of the concepts, theories and applications of a holistic lifestyle into a readable, understandable and exciting book. I have been recommending this book to all my clients and I strongly encourage anyone who is serious about their health and wellness and are tired of yo-yo diets and theories that sound great but don't work to get this book.

Regina Sara Ryan's book Praying Dangerously calls to my heart. Ryan, a former Roman Catholic nun and modern mystic, encourages me to open myself to what she calls "transformational prayer." In calling me to "pray dangerously," this book invites me to consider the possibility that God's will is nothing more--nor less--than life as it is, embraced fully and passionately. Ryan establishes this context in a poem that opens the book: "Let us say Yes, again and again and again./and Yes some more./Let us pray dangerously,/the most dangerous prayer is Yes." That great Yes, said "again and again and again," has the power to crumble all the edifices we have carefully and painstakingly constructed to keep life out. In praying dangerously, Ryan says, we "dare to pray our real heart's desire . . . we dare to ask for something we are totally unprepared to receive, because somewhere in our hearts we know that this is what we were created for." This book has lifesaving potential in the truest sense of the word, and I highly recommend it.

"Praying Dangerously" is not for the casual practitioner who seeks solace in God's benevolence. The consideration of prayer that author Regina Sara Ryan puts forth will challenge all of your preconceptions. She rips away the covers that keep us like small children. What her book demands is a radical recognition that we are not in control. She invites us to pray dangerously, not for what we want, but for what God's will asks of us. "Praying Dangerously" cites unusual yet noted sources such as the Russian mystic G.I. Gurdjieff whose principles of work on self have influenced many great spiritual traditions. She also cites the examples of Philip and Daniel Berrigan in their willingness to put their prayer into action.
This book is not for the faint-hearted. It is dangerous to read, and for that reason, all the more appealing.

In Praying Dangerously: Radical Reliance On God, Regina Ryan draws upon her more than twenty-five years of studies in contemplation and mysticism as practiced in the religious traditions and lives of great women from Hinduism, Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, and Sapphism in order to reveal an age-old and universal tradition of prayer as an expression of a radical and total reliance on God in the face of a secular world that can range from the seemingly indifferent to the actively hostile. Included are "dangerous prayers" from Jesus, Simone Weil (a French philosopher and mystic), the Sufi Saint Rabi'a, Tibetan teacher Chagdud Tulku, and others. Praying Dangerously is compelling, thoughtful, occasionally iconoclastic, and highly recommended for serious students of religion and spirituality.

I found this book after having major surgery, and it was my bible during my recovery period. It provided me with a structure for my recovery process, and helped me to enhance both my physical and psychological healing while I was recuperating. Quite user-friendly, with specific experiential exercises.

I can not believe that this book isn't on the best seller list! Send this to everyone and anyone you know who has suffered a physical trauma, heart attack, rehab for an accident, surgery, long term illness or what ever. You will be their second best friend - Regina Sara Ryan will be their best friend. She will guide them through the emotional and mental side of their trauma and rehab in a caring and empathetic manner. When I suffered from sudden and unexpected heart disease, all the left brained hospital did was send me home with a file on how to physically reshape live my life. What Ryan does is show you how to shape your rehab so that you can rebuild your life within the new physical you.

Lee Lozowick is an underrated Master. I think he is criticized by many because he scares many. Out of the hand full of Guru's that have fallen from "grace" in the last 20 years, Mr. Lee is still going strong. This book is a condensed articulation of his way of teaching; his living philosophy. What makes Lee a MASTER par excellence is his example. He once said: "The work you have come here to do is the work I have come here to do. The difference is, I have assumed it, you have not. His amazing discipline is the furtile manure that informs his wit and shining clarity. Lee's words are time bombs that will explode in your consciousness six months later. Whether or not this Man fits your preconeptions of what a spiritual teacher "should" be or not, even more so than Evander Holyfield, This MAN is the REAL DEAL. Back to the book. Lee clearly states his vision of the importance of such themes as: community, diet, spiritual practice, the role of the teacher among other important topics. Remember as you read, this Master is not a master of rhetoric he is an exemplar of the highest degree. Not until you can walk the kind of walk that he has walked will you be qualified to be even close to having an inkling of where from this Master speaks. Jai Guru!

Lee Lozowick lets us all know in this book that he is a true spiritual teacher. He educates the reader to what a true spiritual teacher asks of his students. He takes the confusion out of spiritual practice by writing in clear, concise language. Spiritual practice is shown to be difficult for most seekers. Surrender is difficult for all but a few. The ego dies hard.

I haven't read this book yet, and actually she should be writing the review but she's not really a computer person so I thought I'd go ahead and do it. First of all she already bought about five copies for friends and family. I just bought one here on Amazon for my mother. My wife says it is the best book on feminine spirituality that she has ever read. She says that it is both inspiring and yet practical and about REAL people not just people so saintly that it is difficult to relate to them. She's been reading from it every night and I believe it has contributed to rekindling and deepening her Passion.

In Praise of Rumi is a valiant attempt at modern poetry infused with the spirit of Rumi - especially Rumi's use of "tavern", "intoxication" and "separation from the Beloved". However, some of the poems seem contrived; some seem muddled in a "sufified" Christianity; some seem didactic. Unfortunately not one of the three descriptions mentioned above is particularly appealing to me. On the other hand, I do believe that Christian poetry needs a poetry of ecstasy - a Rumi, a Mirabai, a Lalla - and hence I appreciate the intent of this volume.
