It's derivative. There is absolutely nothing that hasn't been said over and over again.
It's simplistic. Life can be simple, but that doesn't mean you should treat your audience as if they are too.
It's repetitive. Get a variety of different figures in your niche to all say the same things using slightly different words.
It's nasty. Follow the philosophy through to it's logical conclusion and you are left with the concept that those who suffer have brought it upon themselves. There may be a grain of truth for some of the many unfortunates out there, but try telling a starving family in a poverty- and drought-stricken wilderness that really they ... Read More:

As a tinnitus sufferer and a part-time insomniac sleep often eludes me,this CD is a great help with calming a sometimes racing mind and setting the scene for a good nights sleep.
Unlike some of the other reviewers I cant say this CD actually puts me to sleep (lucky devils !!)but it is a very positive influence and promotes sleep. I would also recommend "Creating inner peace and calm" by Glenn Harrold for the racing mind which can be sleeps biggest enemy.
This books tells the story of the author's therapy sessions with a woman he calls "Catherine". She is a young woman suffering from anxiety, fear of water, swallowing pills, et cetera.

When it comes to regression, there are numerous theories as to what really happens, and I started reading this book with an open mind and a keen interest in finding out what theory would best fit this story.

I bought this book 2 yrs ago after losing a loved one. It was the first time in my life that I'd ever lost someone close to me and it made me ask alot of questions. I was scared and wondered if death was truly the end. why did they go? would i see them again? can they see me? can i speak to them? what's the purpose of life? who's pulling the strings? I had so many questions that the religion i was practising at the time couldn't provide convincing answers. Then I read the reviews of this book on Amazon and I ordered it. IT CHANGED MY LIFE!
Its written very simply written and very comforting. It triggered my quest for spiritual enlightenment and my life is all the better for it now! We need more books like this

Shane Claiborne has found a different Jesus in the gospels than the mainstream church. He's found a Jesus who is homeless, a friend of the poor, who rails against authority and undermines the empire, who tells a rich man to sell everything he owns and give the money away. This is Claiborne's model, and he has done his best to find it, live it and prove such a life is possible.
The book follows his journey, from the disillusionment with the church of his youth, and the ambitious and wealthy `megachurches' where he trained. He talks about how he came to bond with the poor in Philadelphia, and then travelled to Calcutta to see if Mother Theresa offered a better demonstration of Christ than the ones around him. He visits Iraq in the middle of the war, testing Jesus' ... Read More:

Focusing on the four major novels of Dostoevsky: 'The Idiot', 'Crime and Punishment', 'The Devils' and (above all) 'The Brothers Karamazov', Rowan Williams here in this subtle and sophisticated 100,000-word essay argues for Dostoevsky as a religious writer who's works are best understood through the lens of faith. In so doing he challenges and refutes the views of 20th century interepreters of Dostoevsky such as William Hamilton who viewed the narrative indeterminacy and "dialogist" strategies of the great Russian writers art as the expression of an "anguished agnosticism".
Williams however interprets these narrative strategies as Dostoevsky's
disinterest in presenting the dry abstract philosophical questions of faith; of arguments for or against the existence of God, ... Read More:
