Life Changing..........2007-08-30
I read The Secrets of Attraction, by Sandra Anne Taylor and decided to attempt to put into practice what I had learned in theory using the wisdom of the law of magnetism, insights into universal laws and paradoxical intent.
I created some affirmations and re-directed some of my emotionally charged energy away from disappointment and toward my newly created goals, as well as creating a manifestation journal to document the results.
Well, I am pleasantly surprised.
My manifestation journal is becoming filled with new-found abundance and prosperity that I have been attracting into my life and I am well on my way to positive, progressive, life transformation.
A must read and highly recommended!
Another of my favourite recent discoveries in New Age books that highlights romance, spirituality and life transformation is...
Nexus: A Neo Novel
Secrets Worthy of Being Very Well Known.......2007-07-07
This book is terrific. Although Ms. Taylor offers many concepts that are offered in other self improvement books, her way of weaving together positive moral guidance and a system of ethics offers a fresh perspective that is very motivating, particularly in the way she ties in the concept of the universe giving us what we send it through our behavior and attitudes.
Not what I thought..........2007-06-11
This book isn't like I thought it would be. Kinda dissappointed. But, the book was good in terms of condition and delivery time.
Secrets of Attraction: Universal laws of Love............2007-03-13
This is the next step from THE SECRET. Do you want to succeed on purpose? The concepts in the book will help you achieve just that! Easy to read and understand.
Sound Advice.......2007-02-12
Sandra Taylor, a practicing psychologist, delves into the science of success with this well-written insight into the world of universal law and how it may be used to change your relationships, and improve the romance in your life. Laws such as the Law of Magnetism, Law of Attraction, and Law of Pure Desire have achieved a wide popularity recently,which seems to reflect our current rage for advice on how to succeed and achieve our goals. In my opinion, Taylor does a good job in this area, delivering a piece similar to the popular book "Shortcut to a Miracle," by Michael and Elizabeth Rann.
If you are interested in something more specifically geared towards financial success, you may want to try the classic "Richest Man in Babylon," by George Clason, or "The 17 Principles of Creating Wealth," by Phillip Collinsworth.
Book Description
Courageous Souls explores the premise that we are all eternal souls who plan our lives, including our greatest challenges, prior to birth for purposes of spiritual growth. The book contains ten true stories of people who planned physical illness, having handicapped children, deafness, blindness, drug addiction, alcoholism, losing a loved one, and severe accidents. Because very different life challenges are often planned for similar reasons, readers who have not faced these specific challenges will nevertheless see themselves - and their motivations as a soul - in these stories. As readers come to realize that they themselves planned their lives, suffering that once seemed purposeless becomes imbued with deep meaning. Wisdom may be acquired in a more conscious manner; feelings of anger, guilt, blame, and victimization are replaced by acceptance, forgiveness, peace, and gratitude.

So that's why . . ........2007-10-08
If you ever want to get into the backside of your pre-birth planning of your life challenges, read Courageous Souls by Robert Schwartz. Want to know why you attract illness, accidents, birth defects? Want to know why you chose a life of alcoholism or drug addiction, or are around someone who has? Read this book. The stories, while may start out slow at first, are powerful and insightful. Just stick with them. Robert uses mediums who are able to access multiple guides at one time, and your primary guide and listen in on conversations between you and your soul group.
not credible.......2007-09-30
I got to p. 300 and started reading another book. I found this book painstakingly slow to read, the information provided by the mediums: farfetched, and the conclusions drawn by the author, hard to swallow. Often, when mediums are tired, their accuracy rate diminishes. I never heard of any of the mediums used in this book. Robert Schwartz makes everything so complicated when the subject matter is really quite easy to understand. The book just doesn't flow easily and it's not a page turner in my opinion. I'm a believer, but this book really is a waste of time and money. Read Journey of the Soul by Michael Newton, PhD. Instead of using mediums, he enters the superconsciousness of his clients and elicits information from them directly about their experiences on The Other Side.
An Empowering Way to Reframe Painful Challenges in Our Lives.......2007-09-17
It has been said that asking oneself the question, "Who was I before I was born?" can teach us the most about our true spiritual identity -- yet few of us have been so enlightened as to have heard the full reply. COURAGEOUS SOULS takes this starting point one step further by exploring just how we may have crafted our entire life around all of our life circumstances -- both the high and the low points.
What sets Robert Schwartz's book apart from other books about spirituality, reincarnation and the afterlife is his organized use of intuitive readings as companion pieces to accompany the various life stories he includes. These intuitive sessions provide a deep sense of interconnectedness and unconditional love shared in our lifetimes which we sometimes lose sight of, as well as insights into how we continue learning life lessons from one life to the next. The stories include descriptions of people who have experienced tremendous suffering who are greatly inspired and relieved to see an underlying sense of purpose and meaning to all they have gone through.
COURAGEOUS SOULS is an exceptional book for anyone interested in exploring the true nature of their spiritual identity, who is willing to keep an open mind regarding the value of some of the most painful challenges we humans face in our lives on Earth; this is highly recommended reading for anyone seeking to reframe and find deeper meaning from the painful challenges, setbacks or hardships in their lives.
Some of life's challenges explained........2007-09-06
.
Before I even finished reading this book, I ordered more and had them sent to my friends. This book is amazing.
Told through many soul journies, Robert Schwartz brought in the talents of true mediums who were able to discover decisions that these people made before they were born - again. He did not use just one medium, but several, and they are listed in the back of the book. The individuals who shared their stories are also listed with email addresses -- and if they are able and have the time they will answer your questions.
This book came to me at a time I really needed to be reminded of my own experiences through many lives and the time between our next life. The stories are beautiful because they are able to explain why certain tragedies happen to a person.
I highly recommend this book, especially to those with open and searching minds.
Why Human Challenges Exist!.......2007-08-28
Courageous Souls is highly recommended to anyone trying to understand the suffering, tragedy or loss that has caused them to question life, death and/or God. And who among us is not inflicted by such challenges and questions in our lifetime? In my eight years researching life after death, spirituality and life purpose, I have discovered no better explanation of why human challenges exist than what is so eloquently written in Robert Schwartz's book.

Not bad. Not too different from others who have written on this subject. Some really poor analogies, but overall not bad. If you are interested in this and it excites you, then buy it. Otherwise spend the money somewhere else.

I'm Attracted!.......2007-08-13
As a student of the Law of Attraction for six years now, I have bought nearly every book related to this subject, however, this was the first book I had found in workbook format. I truly loved this book because it was easy to read and since it is in workbook format, it was fun to fill in the answers especially because the answers pertain to my life! I did not have to go and buy a special journal or find scratch paper to write out my intentions and dreams. It makes it so easy to go back through what I have written with respect to my desires, visions, and goals. Everybody should get this book! David's book is the REAL 'Secret'.
From the heart........2007-08-12
This is an easy to read, simple and yet profound book. It becomes obvious that it has been written from the heart, a loving heart. The gentleness of the writing flows with torrents of love towards the reader.
Thank you,

Good subject material, poorly written. .......2007-05-14
the author had a lot of great things to say. I tried to reference his material for a college term paper. He was difficult to quote becuase his writing was choppy. I did however like what he had to say, i just had to paraphrase quite a bit.

This book was a good read, helps to rekindle some of the fire you might loose halfway through your career.
Great Book for the Fire Service.......2006-11-03
This is a great book to read to get back to the basics. It answers a lot of the problem that exist in todays fire service.The history lesson in the first three chapters should be given to every new firefighter. This book is a great guide for the volunteer or paid department. Alot can be learned from this easy read.

OH MY GOD . . . IT WORKS . . ........2007-07-28
What an amazing book that helped me "unblock" my ability to love and be loved. It helped me answer thought-provoking questions that delved deep into areas of my past, my fears and my ridiculous notions about what I thought I was looking for. One of the best pieces of advice in the book is to let go of preconceived notions about what the package your "soulmate" will come in. After reading the book halfway through, I am pretty sure that I met the person I have been looking for. This is for real - no joke. A similar experience happened to my girlfriend who recommended the book to me. Even if my relationship does not work out, at least I have opened myself up to loving and being loved, which was a job onto itself.
I want to kiss Katherine Woodward Thomas!! XOXO
self examination at its best.......2007-07-03
I have read my share of self help books and this is by far the best experience. Its insightful approach in an area that so many struggle with has been very helpful. I am doing this with a group of woemn as recommended in the book. We are meeting weekly. And the process has been very enlightening. I heartily recommend the book whether you use it as a solitary process or with a group. Excellently written and just enough of her story to make it interesting.
I'm softening my review of this book..........2007-05-04
Last year, I wrote a very harsh review of Katherine Woodward Thomas's book, "Calling In The One" because I was down on relationships and the whole idea of soulmates at the time. But I later realized I was wrong to condemn Ms. Thomas and give her book a poor review. Life has taught me a few things since I read it the first time, and I can admit a mistake.
What changed my mind was that I observed this book change people's lives after reading it. Although I felt it didn't work for me (mainly because I'm one of those picky, independent, commitment-phobic type A girls), I did see its possible value for single male and female friends of mine, so I recommended the book to them. After reading it, these people changed before my eyes and became softer, more available to relationships, and more open to possibilities. Many got rid of their "lists" and stopped condemning men (and women). Two of these friends are now in committed relationships. My buddies used the techniques in Thomas's book to introspect and renovate their lives to a new possibility of love. The results speak for themselves. I therefore must amend my earlier somewhat cruel review of this work. Simply put, her techniques and suggestions work - kind of like eHarmony - granted the reader is really serious about finding and keeping genuine love. This book demands no less.
Although the wonderful chapters and intriguing case stories did not work for me personally, I can see the value in "Calling In The One", and I highly recommend this book to any single who is serious about finally escaping the drudgery and endless wheel of fruitless dating, and focusing on and finding the one who concludes all searches.
And for those who asked:
Katherine's book did not work for me because I find I have a fear of losing my independence and creative ideas to a man who will smother me, suffocate me, control me and turn me into a baby-making machine that exists to pick up his socks and make his meals. It sounds ridiculous, but yes, that's a very real fear of mine. Until I wake up and face and debunk that baseless fear, I will remain successful but alone. The two are not mutually exclusive, but a strong part of me still holds terror that they are. Thomas's book in many ways helped me to see that. How many books grow on you over time and make you completely reverse your original opinion of them?
Highly recommended.
This book was excellent!.......2006-12-07
I love this book and it truly changed my outlook on my life. Its not a quick fix book to just help find a boyfriend. Its a book that makes you really dig deep and look at yourself. Not only is it a wonderful story about the author and a process of healing but she makes some great points that just made me think "wow, that is me and she is soooo right". It was a huge eye opener in many ways and helped me see why I kept dating the loosers I was and kept letting people negatively influence me. It helped me to really see what was going on and break that cycle so I could focus on other parts of my life. Since doing so I have made a lot of life improvements and am happy to say... have met an incredibly wonderful man and am in a solid loving relationship. The book changed my thinking from" I don't think I will ever get this" to "I don't deserve any less than what I want". I highly recommend it!
This book made me stop believing in soulmates.......2006-07-28
I know my review won't be popular, but I purchased "Calling In The One" and found it, simply, too demanding and too hard psychologically to bear.
Thomas asks her readers to do several years' worth of therapy in the course of seven weeks, most of it boring, mind-numbingly repetitive and unrelated to the task of finding a husband. The majority of her workbook assignments force the reader to delve deeply, and often triggeringly, into childhood devastations and long-buried agonies that, in my case, only numbed me deeper against wanting a relationship. I also wondered why it is women are the ones asked to do all this difficult psychological work in order to win "the prize" of having a man, and men are asked to do virtually nothing at all. I found myself rebelling against the book and everything it stood for by the second week of the seven the reader is obliged to undertake.
Reading the author's own personal take on how she met "the one" (an African-American man she was not even initially attracted to the first several times she met him - the author is a white female of a certain age), and being an African-American woman not at all attracted to black men, I find myself with the sinking, despairing suspicion the author "settled" with a black man to unconsciously rebel against her mother (who, in the book, warned the author explicitly NEVER to bring home a black man), and to become pregnant: which, by her new African-American husband, she easily did.
Sour grapes towards hesitant and commitmentphobic white men is all this book sounds like to me, and as a woman of color who dates white men, I could agree. However, I doubt Thomas's convinctions in this book and feel she settled. I am not attracted to black men and would not settle with one to satisfy a biological clock - which is all this book seems to lead towards as its goal. Pedantic, too-long, too-demanding, insensitive, triggering, dismissive of the man's responsibilities in a romantic relationship - shall I go on? In a phrase, I despise this book, and it is now in a box under my bed never to be read again. What a dreary thing it was.
One nice point about "Calling In The One", though; it helped me become VERY clear on what it is, I find, I DO want: I have learned by doing the grueling worktasks in Thomas's book that I actually don't believe in soulmates, don't want a man forever in my life, and would be very satisfied with a physically attractive and well-groomed, compliant, obedient, quiet male sex partner who SOMETIMES - when *I* ask it - joins me on my arm at the requisite parties and social appearances - then goes home, gets out of my face, and leaves me to my career, with which I am immensely happy and satisfied. "Settle"? Bah: the day I settle is the day I die.
Hint to Katherine: you CAN become pregnant and have a child WITHOUT A MAN, dear. You don't have to settle and sell out. You come off in this book as everything weak and dependent we women today are trying to leave behind and kick kitty litter on top of with our heels as we walk away. Get it? Just thought you might like to know.
Awful book. Hated it page 1 to end. There are no soulmates. Settle for yourself and the right one will come - ON YOUR TERMS. No surrender, ladies. Forget this book's name and do your soul some enormous good.

A Must for every newly married couple!.......2007-08-15
Marriage is difficult enough without someone trying to undermine it. This book helps you identify those things that can be out there to trip you up. It makes the playing field level again.
The best solution probably is not to be a wussy!.......2007-06-27
I have read many stories on the internet about people who have huge problems with their in-laws and virtually all of these people have one big thing in common: they are gigantic WUSSIES!!! They are wussies and their spouses are wussies. They are incredibly weak. They refuse to stand up for themselves and refuse to confront anyone. That is why the in-laws are able to cause so much trouble. They put up with abuse for years and years and do nothing about it except whine and cry about it in private. These people have a helpless victim mentality and a whiny, submissive attitude. Instead of actually doing something about their problems, they spend their time privately complaining to their spouses, which 99% of the time does no good! Well, a life of misery is what a coward gets! These victims are too cowardly to stand up for themselves. What they need to work on the most is to develop courage, assertiveness, self esteem, and the willingness to fight for their rights! Another problem that these people have is that they are people-pleasers. They will spend years futilely trying to please their spouse and their in-laws before they finally give up. I think this is another serious personality flaw of the victims. The idea that you should try to please toxic people is very wrong and doesn't work. My policy is I should only be good to people who are good to me. The people who are bad to me can go to blazes! But these victims of in-laws don't see it that way, until years pass by and they finally wise up!
WE ALL CREATE OUR OWN LIVES.
Despite having bad in-laws, the truth is that the real fault lies with the victims themselves for allowing themselves to be abused. They made their own beds by accepting abuse instead of fighting it or getting away from it. They are their own worst enemies. No one has to be a victim. Being a victim is something you choose to be by having a victim mentality.
I never see any stories about how strong people with high self esteem and assertiveness deal with toxic in-laws. I guess this is because people like us take care of our problems quickly and therefore we don't need to tell whiney tales of woe on the internet. People like me actually SOLVE our problems instead of complaining about them. Once you become a strong person, you can quickly solve pretty much any problem. The stronger a person you are, the smaller problems become.
GREAT Read!.......2007-05-13
Definitely made me feel better and more prepared to deal with the issues I was having with my mother-in-law. I would definitely recommend this book!
Harmful to all relationships.......2007-04-30
Toxic In-Laws is definitely a flawed title as well as using flawed psychology. I would give it 0 stars if that were an option.
1. The author makes too many presumptions on all sides. She presumes all young people to always be in the right and all parents to always be in the wrong. That is flawed logic and results in flawed counseling.
2. The author never puts balance to things by showing both sides nor does she interview the in-laws for another point of view yet she projects intent upon the in-laws. This is called a closed system and not a sign of a good counselor.
3. The author does nothing to define a toxic person whether young person or parents.
4. The author does nothing to define what a good in-law would be like. In most of the cases, the in-laws are not in the wrong, but she never points that out. Anyone who does counseling would agree.
5. The author does nothing to show how to get along with others. Instead, her only solution is to cut off all contact with people with whom you disagree. That does not show maturity in conflict resolution.
6. The author does nothing to show that although a person is an in-law to one person in the couple, he/she is a parent to the other and deserving of respect, love, and an opportunity to express his/her side. She also tells men and women that they should be upset with their parents when they are not. This is bad counseling advice and gives family counselors a bad name.
7. The author does nothing to point out how communication, on an adult level and presuming the best in the other first, accomplishes more good than evil.
8. The author did nothing to show skill in counseling, but rather the immaturity of a child who is a persistent bully and negative personality.
If following this advice, one would be accused of being an immature junior high schooler, not a justified, mature adult. Save your money and time on this one. Had I (or any of the couples I've worked with) followed this advice, I would have missed out on many good memories and wonderful times with both my parents and in-laws.
Toxic In Laws meets expectations.......2007-03-08
I ordered Toxic In Laws after enduring yet another horrible holiday season with my in-laws. I was prompted to order the book because of the "protecting your marriage" part of the title. In the past, I've been angry with my in-laws on many occasions, but usually I just put it behind me. This Christmas, however, my mother-in-law verbally attacked our young son, and that was the end of the line for me. I had concerns about being able to effectively communicate my position to my husband, and as many of Dr. Forward's clients mention in the book, I have never felt like my husband was completely on my side. In reading the book, I could pull out specific examples of behaviours that are very similar if not identical to things we've gone through with my in-laws, and I was able to share the information with my husband. I felt very empowered by the book, and began to realize that there is no way that one person in a relationship involving three other people can possibly "fix" it all by themselves. The book gave me suggestions about what to say to my husband and helped me move past communicating from anger and hurt to a more rational and sincere way of speaking. I would highly recommend this book to anyone having trouble with in-laws who is concerned about the effects on your marriage. I wish I'd read it sooner. We are still going through the process of dealing with this and I don't know how it will all come out. Dr. Forward isn't promising any quick fixes. I do know, however, that if the very worst happened and my husband and I were to break up over these issues with his parents, that I would feel totally comfortable that I had done all I could to stand for myself while supporting my husband and protecting my kids.

Contradicts "The Secret" DVD.......2007-09-18
After seeing the movie "The Secret" I thought it might be helpful to get a workbook to help me with the principles they teach regarding The Law of Attraction. However, the first thing I noticed upon opening this workbook is that the first 42 pages ask you to write down every NEGATIVE thing you can think of about your life! You are asked to fill in the blanks regarding what you worry about most, what you struggle with, what you are concerned about, with your life partner, with your family, about money, about your career, and on and on. When I watched The Secret, my first impression was that you should not even dwell on these things AT ALL. So it seems as right at the beginning this book violates the first principle -- CHANGE YOUR THOUGHTS! Then, once the book does get around to the part where your write how you would like your life to be, it specifically asks to you write down HOW YOU EXPECT TO ACCOMPLISH these changes! (i.e. "You need to move beyond listing the things you need to change and begin to focus on what you are going to do to attract each of the things . . .") This specifically contradicts another principle revealed in The Secret, which stated that you do not have to KNOW how it will come about, and you do not have to try to figure out yourself HOW IT WILL COME ABOUT! This appears to be one of those typical self-help books that have been published in the past, and it seems to have been just slightly adjusted to fit the principles of the Law of Attraction. Maybe this is a different "Law of Attraction" than they present in The Secret DVD? If you are looking for a book to help you with accomplishing the goals set by The Secret DVD, look elsewhere, this isn't it.

I Love A Cop: What Police Families Need To Know.......2007-09-17
This book should be given to every graduate of Peace Officers Academies to be read with their families. It covers some crucial aspects that every recruit should know before embarking on this dangerous career. This book could help save families, as well as the sanity of its members.
Must have book for law officers.......2007-05-13
This was such a great book I bought one for me and one for my family. I only wish I had bought it sooner.
Intended especially for the loved ones of police offers.......2007-04-12
Written by clinical psychologist Ellen Kirschman, Ph.D., whose specific area of expertise lies in helping police officers and their families, I Love a Cop: What Police Families Need To Know is a straightforward, "tell-the-facts" guide, now in a newly revised edition, written especially for the significant others, spouses, and family members of police officers. Being a cop is a demanding job, and sometimes the very skills required for competence - such as being able to suppress strong emotions like fear, anger, or even compassion - are harmful to officers' private and personal lives if carried over to the home. I Love a Cop gives practical, no-nonsense advice to what to expect from the demands of the job, coping with stress or trauma, and much more. Of especial value are the chapters about dealing with domestic abuse, threats of suicide, or other severe cases and problems - including how to recognize the warning signs and when there is no other option than to just get out. Though I Love a Cop is intended especially for the loved ones of police offers, its solid advice is also highly recommended for the loved ones of anyone in a high-stress, risky or demanding occupation. I Love a Cop is also highly recommended as supplemental reading for anyone considering a policing career, as there is also plenty of sage wisdom about what to expect on the job and how to balance demands of the job with those of family life.

Not what it says.......2007-06-04
I was so thrilled to see a book on the topic by a Christian writer so I bought this book as soon as I saw it. Upon reading it though, I was quite disappointed. The author tells lots of stories but misses many opportunities. She never defines what the problem areas are. She never defines how to overcome them. She never notes how to avoid problems. Instead it is pretty much of a "hey, I have a great relationship with my mother- and daughter-in-law, but, honey, it's too tough so don't you expect to repeat whatever I did." This could have been a great book focusing on biblical stories and all, but she didn't accomplish it, even if it doesn't focus on mothers with married daughters.
She wasn't the only one wrrong.......2007-05-27
I was looking for a book to show me that my mother-in-law was was wrong and I was right with our relationship. But it instead re-grounded me with the Biblical understanding of truths about our relationship. A wonderful book to read!
Excellent book.......2007-05-08
I found the book to be very helpful for the mother of the groom. A lot of things to think about, but very imforative. I recommend this book with Christian perspective to any friend of mine.
Beyond the Mother or Daughter-in-Law Relationship.......2007-02-19
Annie Chapman has an amazing way of being blunt, but still encouraging on a very delicate topic. This book offers so much advice for the typical blunders that women find themselves in. I feel that all mothers with sons and all daughters desiring to get married should read this book.
Wonderful Non-Bashing Book!.......2007-01-20
This book has really helped me out a lot in my relationship with my Mother-in-Law. It makes both sides step back and really look at the situation and try to understand where the other person is coming from. It doesn't bash or put down either one. I would recommend it to every mother-in-law and daughter-in-law!
Book Description
Few topics in the Catholic Church are more misunderstood than annulments. To some, both Catholics and non-Catholics alike, it is synonymous with "Catholic divorce."
Written in everday language, Annulments and the Catholic Church is an invaluable resource for lay people who want to understand this challenging issue and pastoral leaders who need to offer guidance on questions of theology and canon law.
This book addresses the most common questions people have about annulments, including:
How is an annulment different from a divorce?
Are there too many annulments granted today?
Does the length of a marriage affect an annulment case?
How do people begin the annulment process?
Does a wedding between a Catholic and a non-Catholic require an annulment?
Is alcoholism or physical abuse grounds for an annulment?

Straight Answers to Tough Questions.......2007-03-25
A comprehensive and understandable treatment of a very complex subject
Nothing new.......2007-02-19
If you want a quick one stop source for most answers you need then this might be the book for you. It is an easy read and well organized but no new information than what I found elsewhere on the internet.
And, as the title suggests, this book offers little 'advice' on how to speed the process, what keys pieces of information the Church may be looking for to expedite the review or advice to those who may have a legitimate case but be light on the required supporting information.
I've found more answers researching internet blogs and speaking directly with my church.
Annulment erases what a civil divorce cannot and never can.......2006-09-26
An act of annulment is a spiritual rite of making null and void a transaction - in this case of marriage. It is not a divorce which is a legal declaration that obligations between two parties has ceased. Annulment is on par with marriage in the sense that it dissolves the vow and pledges spoken to create the marital covenant. This is a major distinction. Once a bride and bridegroom take vows to each other in front of a priest in a church in front of all their friends and families .... It is not a promise, a contract, or an agreement, it is a sacred divine vow, a permanent spiritual binding union of two souls. A fusion of two people into one. Annulment is a spiritual erasure of that vow. So non-Catholics who must go through the process to marry a Catholic will learn how to understand this process. It is a second chance to get it right once and for all.
Clear, No-Nonsense Explanation of annullments.......2006-07-25
This book explained the entire annullment process in terms a layperson could understand. The book is divided into question/answer segments, all relevant and easy-to-understand. The best resource I've found on an often confusing topic. A must-read if you are considering annullment or need to answer those who question the process.
