I can't say enough good things about this book!.......2007-09-24

This book helped me get through a very difficult time a while back. In the time since, I have occasionally felt the anxiety levels creep back up, and I have come back to this book. It isn't one to be read one time, but is worth reading again and again.

It is easy to have this book recommended to you, or even to have someone give it to you and leave it sitting on your shelf. I did that when I first received it. Don't do that! Read it and see if you can grow and glean from it as so many of us have done. It can really help you move beyond worry to trust, and it builts more than just anxiety-free living. It helps accomplish the opposite -- contentment and acceptance of your lot. If you struggle with worry or discontentment, this is the first book I would recommend. I can't say that enough!

Excellent.......2007-09-11

I couldn't imagine Linda writing a book more helpful than Creative Counter part, but this is the proof (for me at least). This book is applicable to the Christian woman no matter what stage of life she is in. I have found it to be encouraging and helpful in my growing relationship with Jesus. Thanks again Linda.

A great book for every woman........2007-09-06

My sister-in-law gave me this book. It's the best gift I've ever been given. I've bought several copies to give to women in my family and friends. The book addresses what peace we can have when we hand our concerns to God and learn to always be content. I wish I'd read this when I was young. It's a book to read several times as a great reminder to hand it all over to God.

Life Changing .......2007-07-14

I am an avid reader and rate this as one of the best books I've read in a long time. It is well written with inspiring stories from Eastern Europe to add illustrate the point of each chapter. More than just a good writer, Linda brings out the major obstacles to spiritual growth and what to do about each one. Since reading the book a few months ago I have seen changes in my life.

Good study........2007-07-12

This book was a good book, helpful. The title was definitely the subject matter, and it's one that is very necessary in our society today. Repetitive in a couple of chapters, but overall I recommend it.

Book Description

A soldier swears an oath to uphold the constitution and protect our country, while a soldier's spouse takes the unwritten oath to a life of constant moves, lengthy separations and endless anxieties. Their commitment requires a unique blend of patriotism, dedication, hard work and, most of all, flexibility. The stories in Chicken Soup for the Military Wife's Soul, written by soldier's wives and the courageous women who themselves serve in the military, speak directly to those who live the life, understand the jargon and thrive on the joys and challenges of military life. These stories celebrate the spirit of women who unite with kindred spirits and strangers to raise families, maintain homes and uphold the most positive attitudes when facing the fears of losing a loved one. This book is a tribute to all the women who daily uphold the written and unwritten oaths of service and of marriage. Key Features Unlike other books about military lifestyle that are guides to coping, this book offers comfort and support to women. In these stories spouses pour out their hearts with examples of how they overcome fear and anxiety while concerned for the safety of their loved ones who are far from home, protecting our freedom. Chapters include: I Miss You So, Raising Military Brats, Honey, We've Got Orders, An Officer At The Door, Holidays: Military Style, Red, White and Blue. Inspiring stories celebrate the lives of military wives and spouses and the special bond that unites them while supporting each other as they share similar experiences.

Perfect for any Military Wive.......2007-08-28

This book is touching, compassionate and reinforces why our country is so great! Have a box of tissues near by this one is a tear jerker!

Wonderful as always!.......2007-08-16

Once again a chicken soup book is great! As a wife of a deployed soldier, this book helps me keep a positive and uplifted spirit. I would reccomend this book to any military wife.

Biased Military Wife.......2007-06-26

It's probably because my husband is in the military and he's not with me right now, but I enjoyed each of these stories, even if some of them plucked at my heart strings a bit too close to home. I read this book on a plane, which I do not recommend! I had to hide every sniffle. Of course, these stories are sometimes a bit cheesy and "feel good," but it's called Chicken Soup for the Soul for a reason.

Love it!.......2007-06-13

I HATE to read. Typically it bores me and puts me to sleep. With that said, I somehow ran across this book on-line. I read the Amazon reviews and decided to give it a try. I got the book and in one sitting read half of the book straight through. I was addicted to it! I honestly could not put it down. Even the section on "Raising Military Brats" I read although I do not have any children. My husband has 13 months left of his tour in Iraq and it was somewhat comforting to read about WWI or WWII wives who, in their husband's two year deployment, maybe received one letter, if at all. It made me appreciate what I have, even though what I want is thousands of miles away. I definitely recommend it for any military wife.

Military Spouses-One's of God's greatest creations:).......2007-06-01

I bought this book knowing that it would be filled with heart felt stories by military spouses, like myself. I have to say that there were many times I found myself in a daze from some of the stories and by the time I realized it, I would have a tear running down my cheek. Not just anyone can relate to these stories, it takes a special person to completely understand and appreciate what a military spouse does. These stories have helped me to cope with my husband's deployements and they give me the strength to survive during those times. I would recommend this book to all, especially those who have no affiliation with the military. It will give you just a small look into the priceless, but chaotic days we call our lives.

We are all students in the "Earth school," according to authors Gary Zukav and Linda Francis in The Heart of the Soul. And the time has come to create a whole new lesson plan. For thousands of years we were outwardly focused, as we mastered the tasks of cultivating food and building shelter. Unfortunately, we are still outwardly fixated, obsessively accumulating more wealth, material objects, and power. "What enabled our species to survive so long is now bad medicine. In fact, it is poison," according to Zukav and Francis. What we need now is an inward focus, in which we cultivate the heart and live in alignment with our souls.

As it turns out, The Heart of the Soul is a timely guidebook, with a release date exactly three months after the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center. "The pursuit of external power produces physical violence and destruction between nations. You can see this in every newscast," the authors write:

Billions of people live in poverty, are hungry, and suffer oppression, and brutality. Changing these circumstances requires our hearts. It requires the ability to feel the pain and joy of others, and to take their needs as seriously as we take our own.

And here is where the heart lessons come in. "As long as there are parts of yourself that reach outward to make you feel safe, valuable, and loved, you need to identify them and heal them." The authors include numerous exercises and activities to help readers feel and understand their emotions in order to "empower the soul" and live a more rewarding and joyful life. The words and intentions are indeed poignant and worthwhile. The numerous boxes, diagrams, and passages in bold print create a self-help structure that some will find simplistic and others will find inviting. --Gail Hudson

Book Description

"THE LONGEST JOURNEY YOU WILL MAKE IN
YOUR LIFE IS FROM YOUR HEAD TO YOUR HEART."

With the rare combination of profound psychological insight and deep spirituality that has already drawn millions of readers to his two great national bestsellers, The Seat of the Soul and Soul Stories, prizewinning author Gary Zukav now joins with his spiritual partner Linda Francis to help us develop a new emotional awareness that is central to our spiritual development.

In The Seat of the Soul, Zukav brilliantly set forth his fundamental concepts, explaining how the expansion of human perception beyond the five senses leads to a new understanding of power as the alignment of the personality with the soul -- "authentic power." In Soul Stories, he showed how such concepts as harmony, cooperation, sharing, and reverence for Life express themselves in other people's lives. Now, in The Heart of the Soul, he and Francis take the next major step forward in showing us the importance of emotional awareness in applying these concepts to our own daily lives.

Customer Reviews:

Its the content.......2007-05-08

Wrote this as a comment to a negative review but did not realize it wouldn't show on the main page, so here it is again.

Hi, The book is simple, the principles simplistic because our soul development is simple. Yet, we make the same mistakes over and over again. For me therapy is only the very beginning of the journey. Its through therapy we learn we have an emotional defense systems. However therapy fails ultimately if not followed through with soul development. If you believe in a higher self at all, its best to understand who and what we are from a higher perspective. Getting on top of the EGO is one of the hardest things there is to do because its the EGO that is in charge of us 99% of the time. This book guides you, if you practice its principals you may awaken to the truth. However, if not this book, you might like "The Disappearance of the Universe by Gary Renard", it can read as fantasy but its content might grab you. If not, so be it, your on another path. One thing for sure we cant get to where we are going alone, everyone will be there regardless of their our personal journey.

You have to read this book with your HEART, not your head........2007-04-27

I immediately purchased this book after reading Seat of the Soul (a book which resonated for me with every word.) I guess not many people shared my experience but Heart of the Soul basically changed me at the very core of my being. Reading this book brought forth an immediate change in how I process the experiences of my life and brought me in direct touch with my inner wisdom. I went through (and am still going through) a transformative experience of purging my body, mind and psyche of painful blocked emotions and negative patterns. It has been an unsettling, sometimes frightening experience (why doesn't he mention the physical symptoms that can come with unblocking ones energy centers?)

IF you are ready, and you actually DO what the book suggests, this can be a road to spiritual development in the truest sense of the word. Are you willing to truly FEEL your emotions and ask them what they are trying to tell you? Are you willing to pull yourself down into them and look at what is at the root? Are you willing to face the saddest, most painful and frightened parts of your personality? Are you ready to take responsibility for what you have been creating in your life and for what you continue to create in each moment? Are you ready to LET GO?

Personally, I no longer feel the need to experience anger, frustration or self-loathing - emotions I lived with daily before reading Gary's books. Instead of getting angry for example, I simply feel the *pain* of an experience directly. Something that used to trigger anger, now triggers a brief upwelling of pain right in my heart center. I feel the pain, I recognize it, and I honor it, but I don't need to express it outwardly and spread it as destructive, negative energy. When I got to the root of my emotions, I stopped judging myself, I stopped judging others and I started to allow for the possibility of something far, far greater to enter. I can literally feel my energy centers, especially my heart, transforming and opening.

This process has taken a lot of courage and trust - but I see the path now. I see what Gary means by Authentic Power and just a taste has been enough for me to continue moving forward. In order to walk down this path I also realize I have to lose who I thought I was. I have experienced an ongoing inner battle as my old point of view tries to maintain its grip on me, but I won't settle for less any longer. I won't settle for anything less than what Gary calls Authentic Power. I call it ME.

Importance of Emotional Awareness.......2007-03-19

"The Heart of the Soul: Emotional Awareness, " is written by Gary Zukav and Linda Francis, who is his spiritual partner. It gives important steps in allowing readers the ability to apply concepts regarding spiritual partnership(s) to daily life.

"The Heart of the Soul" will give readers the opportunity to gain greater awareness of their emotions, which allows for personal transformation and empowerment. Another insightful book written by two authors is "Nexus" by Deborah Morrison & Arvind Singh.

Dribble.......2007-03-09

This book is so full of dribble it is hard to get through. I know there are gems of wisdom imbedded in there somewhere, but to get through the dribble to find them is painful to say the least.

Here, this is copied from Oprah's website, maybe this is all you need to know........2007-01-25

A spiritual partnership is a partnership between equals for the purpose of spiritual growth. It requires:

Commitment

Focus on what I can learn about myself all the time, especially from my reactions--such as anger, fear, jealousy, resentment and impatience instead of judging or blaming others or myself.
Notice my emotions by feeling the physical sensations in my energy centers.
Notice my thoughts such as planning my reply, judging, analyzing, comparing and day-dreaming.
Notice my intention such as blaming, judging, needing to be right, wanting admiration, escaping into thoughts, intellectualizing and trying to convince.

Courage

Take responsibility for my feelings, experiences and actions. No blaming.
Practice integrity at all times. This often requires action such as speaking when frightened parts of my personality don't want to speak and not speaking when they feel compelled to speak.
Say or do what is most difficult. This includes sharing what I notice, if appropriate, when someone speaks or acts from a frightened part of her personality. Or sharing about myself what I am frightened to say and know that I need to say.

Compassion

Change my perspective from fearful to loving. Choose to see myself and others in a loving or appreciative way.
Release any distance I feel from anyone.
Be present while others are speaking--not preparing replies or judging.

Conscious Communication and Action

Consult my intuition.
Choose my intention before I speak or act.
Act from the healthiest part of my personality that I can find, rather than caretaking, fixing, teaching, judging, blaming or gossiping.
Speak personally and specifically rather than generally and abstractly. Use "I" statements rather than "we" or "you" statements.
Release attachment to the outcome. Trust the Universe.
If I find myself attached, begin again with Commitment, Courage and Compassion.

great book on getting to the true way to solve any problem one may face and I mean any problem.

A Further Step Along 'The Psychic Pathway'.......2007-05-31

I read "Your Heart's Desire" after reading "The Psychic Pathway" by the same author as I believe "The Psychic Pathway" prepares you for this following book. Your spirit must be developed before you can truly look into your heart, your soul, and find what it is you really want.
Then, using these 9 principles Sonia outlines--1)focus 2)the support of the subconscious 3)imagination 4)eliminating obstacles 5)intuitive guidence 6)supporting your dream with love 7)surrending control to the Universe 8)claiming your dream) and 9)being true to your dream, she shows you how you can actually make your dream come true.
I especially liked the 7th principle--in which she says that after you have done the primary work--the Universe kicks in and does its part.
This principle takes faith and patience to wait, as your 'heart's desire' alligns with the Divine Spirit in the Universe.
Writing with a deep sense of the spiritual, an insight gained over years of living and practicing her psychic gifts, Sonia uses examples from her own life and those of her clients to illustrate her points.
She also uses humor and practical good sense to guide the ordinary person into an extraordinary life.

Sonia Choquette makes manifesting easier to learn.......2007-04-09

Before "The Secret" and before the release of "The Law of Attraction" Sonia Choquette was teaching people how to create their dreams in this delightfully easy to read workbook that will help you do the very same. She breaks down the manifestation process into nine easy steps. If you do the exercises, you get results. Period.

I guided hundreds of people through the exercises in this book shortly after it came out and the results were phenomenal. People quit the groups to move to Hawaii, manifested jobs, houses, relationship, right living, you name it. Read this book, and you will create whatever you want too.

Sonia is a truly delightful, humble, and powerful spirit. And if you get a chance to attend any of her seminars, you will be richly rewarded in both bliss and powerful techniques.

Good job Sonia,

My whole new beginning began with this book!.......2007-03-24

I am surprised I haven't written a review before now. I purchased this book almost 4 years ago and it was the catalyst for a whole new life. Sonia is a wonderful teacher, and with this book you not only get step by step guidance toward making your dreams a reality, you open yourself up to a whole new way of experiencing life and the gifts that are waiting for you. This book was my beginning of having the privelege of receiving extensive training from her and teaching this to others. Whether your heart's desire is a new job, house or whole life, this book will empower you to make it happen!

Very Insightful Book.......2007-02-24

I purchased this book after seeing a reference to Sonia in another self help series and I found it to be a very helpful read for those who are ready to take a serious look at what they really want in life. The author talks about her own experiences (including a very uplifting story about how she found a prince charming to take her to a dance) and she gives suggestions about how to prioritize and bring more positive things into your life. Her main point is focusing on positive thinking. However corny it sounds I have found that yes you can get more accomplished by being positive. Even if taking that first positive step forward is a little scary.

One thing I should point out is you have to be ready for this book. No one else can give you a roadmap to navigate your own life. An open mind and positive thinking will help you digest this book and make reading it worthwhile.

Book Description

For over four decades the Marriott name has been a synonym for quality education in electrocardiography. As Practical Electrocardiography's new author, Galen Wagner proved a worthy successor to Barney Marriott with an innovative Ninth Edition of this classic text. The new Tenth Edition features two-color ECGs so readers can see ECG strips as they appear in clinical practice. Extensive updates to chapters on ischemia and infarction provide a current view of these critical areas. The text is revised with more consistent terminology, and a complete approach to the topic that gives the reader a better understanding of electrocardiography in today's medicine.

Customer Reviews:

Sad.......2002-11-14

Unfortunately we lost Dr. Merroitt. G. Wagner has stepped up and authored the ninth edition of Practical electrocardiography. The book hits the basics - THere are a plethorea of books addressing the basics. Historically I would turn to Marriott (or Leo Schameroff - no longer in print) for help with the in depth analysis. The 9th edition falls short - giving narrative examples and referrencing non existent ecg strips - This book is missing several examples of ECG tracings and is a sad tribute to a great electrocardiographer, may he rest in peace.

The Standard Text.......2002-07-11

Given that electrocardiography is a difficult subject to begin to understand, Wagner has continued the excellent work of Dr. Marriott by updating and expanding on the classic text.

Still a work in progress.......2002-02-18

This book starts with a great foundation, but sadly does very little beyond that. This edition, like the 9th, does provide useful material, even if it is recycled. But, it does little to capture the attention of the reader and hold it throughout the text. Readers of 8th and earlier editions will be disappointed at the readability. Beginners might be better served by passing over this text and trying to bribe someone into selling their 8th edition. The last by Marriott himself, standing the test of time!

This is easy to understand.......2001-03-01

Recenty I have gotten this.This is easy to understand ! But I have just found many misprints, particulary there are cases that descriptions may be inconsistent with figures. I hope that these inconsistency would have been corrected in tenth edition.

Marriott's Practical Electrocardiography.......2000-03-27

This is the gold standard for ECG interpretation. It is THE starting point for beginners. No better resource exists for seasoned practitioners.

A Transformed Man.......2007-06-19

I cannot recommend this book more heartily. It transformed my husband from a bachelor who happened to have a wife and child to a godly, loving, servant leader of our home. This book drove my husband directly to the Word of God where he was challenged to rise to the calling of Biblical manhood. I, his wife, am reaping the benefits of this transformation, the recipient of his tender leadership, his protection and provision, his prayers and undying love.

Decent, but not outstanding.......2006-04-18

Our small group went through this book as a three month study. Overall, I felt that the author had good intentions and principles, but IMHO the book was poorly written and organized. On the positive side, Weber's section on the "King pillar" was for the most part quite strong and provided good application to me as a man.

However, the other pillars were not nearly as good. Some chapters seemed to be a string of sob stories without a particular point. I'm sure the author was attempting to stir up some sort of emotion, but the application and substance was sorely missing. Additionally, Weber tended to inject his political viewpoints into the book quite a bit. I'm very conservative by nature and even I thought he was a little heavy handed with the propaganda. Considering the glowing reviews on Amazon, I expected a little more from the book. I can't say that I recommend this book as group study, but it may be worthwhile to those who like his style.

wonderful book.......2005-09-20

Stu Weber paints a precise picture of biblical masculinity. This book is helping several of my friends and I grow as husbands, fathers and teachers.

Outstanding Wisdom for Men.......2005-02-11

This book was recommended by a friend and it turned out to be the best men's book I have ever read, organizing a man's life into the four roles he fills. Mr Weber also does a great job in
showing what happens when those pillars become unbalanced.
Recommended for all men!

book was exactly as ordered and came in a timely manner. i would use this seller again.

Terrific Tool for Any Desk.......2005-01-10

Personal Notes: How to Write from the Heart for Any Occasion by Sandra E. Lambhad thought many times of writing a book on how to write personal notes, a nearly lost social art-form; however, I'm glad I never got around to it because I could not have written the book nearly so insightfully as Sandra. She combines the "how to's" of polite and pertinent note writing with wisdom of the spirit and heart of both the sender and receiver of the notes. Not only does she guide you in how to write notes, she also guides you in the psychology and empathy required to write from your heart. You'll learn how to put yourself in another's shoes in order to know how and when to reach out witrh a note. A very helpful and knowledgeable book for every home, a great tool for teachers and parents, and important skills for business and interpersonal relationships. This would be an excellent graduation or wedding shower gift. Personal Notes is really worth having

Heartfelt Solace.......2004-04-28

Using the easy steps the author outlines in this lovely book, I was able to offer solace to a friend who'd just lost her job; and to another who'd just lost her partner of many years; and to still another who'd just learned she was receiving a reward she'd worked for for many years. It wasn't that I was "borrowing" the author's words; she helped me get immediately in touch with my own. And, I've never felt I expressed myself better and in a way that was more helpful to another soul!

Back to Civility.......2004-04-19

How refreshing to see such wonderful notes for all sorts of special occasions. I especially love Lamb's suggestions for ways to build traditions, and her ideas for enriching our lives by creating warm and loving bonds with family and friends. Here, too, is the best advice I've ever seen on real ways to repair relationships that have been fractured by harsh words and resulting grudges. Buy it, and embrace it, and cultivate a return to civility!

It's like homemade chicken soup that warms the chill and heals the ill. This collection of 101 stories is based on the belief that true testimonies of goodness and loving transformations can nourish us to the bone and heal the cynicism in our hearts. Indeed, most every story seeps in deeply. It's hard not to shed a tear of gratitude, feeling thrilled to have been touched and soothed so easily. Some of the authors are famous, such as Dan Millman, who writes an exquisite vignette on "Courage," and Gloria Steinem, who writes of "The Royal Knights of Harlem." Many, however, have a short, simple story to tell about an event, a person, an everyday miracle that exemplifies the best of the human spirit. --Gail Hudson

Good Inspiration.......2006-11-30

This is the original Chicken Soup book. It was filled with all kinds of various good true stories.

Chicken Soup For the Soul .......2006-11-10

I truly enjoy the Chicken Soup books. They are very relaxing for me and enable me to remember many good times in my life that I had not done in years.

A Heartbeat of Humanity .......2006-08-10

"Chicken Soup for the Soul by Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen is a book of everyday inspirations that touches on the heart of humanity. The writers present those moments in their lives where truth overrides all uncertainty. In the acknowledgements of Kirby Thibeault's book titled Wealth, he states that `humankind will always be challenged with obstacles as it progresses forward, but it is at those such times that the strength and beauty of the human spirit will be called upon to help determine who and what we are, and more importantly, what we can become if we only allow ourselves.' Chicken Soup for the Soul is a collection of stories that highlight such journeys toward greater spiritual enlightenment."
Susanne Cardwell, owner/operator of Advert Marketing Solutions, and avid supporter of the spiritual views of Kirby Thibeault, author of book Wealth.

I never liked soup.......2006-08-07

This book was recommended to me by an inspirational speaker who spoke at my college. I can see how this book can be meant to inspire, especially the stories pertaining to "live your dream". Yes, this book does give you hope and to a certain degree persuades you to break the shackles which you have created for yourself; to break the rut which sometimes becomes our lives. Having said that, some stories were (to be perfectly honest) cheesy. Corny, even. "The Hugging Judge"? Come on, that sounds more like a scene from a C grade kid movie. Even so, good read at times, inspiring also .....at times. Short concise stories. Worth a read if you are willing to forgive the extra extra dose of too much sugar in the soup

Highly recommended.......2006-03-31

Chicken Soup for the Soul
By: Jack Canfield
Reviewed by: M. Ke
P.2

Chicken Soup for the Soul is a series of short stories that often portray drama. The series would often describe people living with cancer conditions or people that are mentally disabled. I believe that the book's purpose is to make you happy for the person you are.

I liked the book, mainly because it cheers me up. This book not only makes your heart smile, but also your soul smile, with quotes such as: "Don't bug me! Hug me!" and even made the people who are the most crippled smile.

The second reason why I liked this book is because of the drama. There are some stories in the book at this play this such as: "I cried for Mark and for all his friends who would never see him again." or people suffering under a medical condition such as: "The 26-year-old mother stared down at her son who dying of terminal leukemia." For this one, this amuses me more than comedy.

My favorite park in this series is a short story called "The Hugging Judge." It tells about a kind-hearted judge who would go around hugging everyone he sees. When he is sent to a place for the mentally stupid people, he is pleaded a hug an old man named Leonardo. It is said that because of that, the old man smiled, in the first time during 23 years.
