Each-way

Do you really want to wake up? Then this book is for you. Full of practical reccomendations from someone who's really there. No philosophy or esoteric jargon, just down to earth 100% practical suggestions for daily life -to wake up. But you really have to want it, because, for one thing, you'll have to start telling your truth! And that's not, as you know, always comfortable and convenient. But the truth liberates... Great book, even more practical and useful than Paul's previous title, The Experiment is Over.

Paul Lowe is a man of such courage and inspiration that I find myself constantly returning to his pages . Out of the dozens of spiritual books I have encountered, there is no one who touches me so deeply with such profound unwavering truth as what this man does. Life becomes so much better when we are "in the moment" and "invitational to the next level of ourselves". This book is a gentler approach than his previous "The Experiment Is Over", which was not for the feint hearted.

This is probably the clearest book I have ever read on life and existence. It has inspired me to change my perspective on everything, challenged all my assumptions about how things are and guided me back to what is real. Paul takes complex subjects and makes them easy to understand and practical to apply in life. He does this in a supportive and fun way. It reminds me of the book "Conversations With God" but simplier and with a more direct style. Be prepared for an adventure in consciousness!

I've used this book for the last three Lenten seasons, and it just gets better each year. Each day's text is very short, usually less than 2 pages, so I don't ever feel that I just don't have time to read it. Even though the meditations are short, every day's reading is filled with challenges for me to become closer to God, and to find, as Nouwen puts it, the 'descending way'.

This year I purchased three more copies of this book to share with friends for their Lenten meditations.

The late henri Nouwen, of blessed memory, was one of the mostinfluential spiritual writers of the last century .His writings are rarely academic,and often are quite personal. Therse selections are taken from many of Fr Nouwens writings, put together with the appropriate scipture reading of the day, and concluded with a prayer from Fr nouwen. Two pages long each day, this book has been a faithful companion the last 3 lenten seasons for me. Nouwens own foibles make all the more poignant the struggles he expresses during Lent. Powerful reading from a good great man.

When I bought this book, I was looking for something to guide me and my husband during this difficult economic climate. "Our Money, Ouselves for Couples" offers practical, easy to implement advice for anyone who is trying to get a grasp on their personal finances. This is a great book for married couples, unmarried couples, and business partners!

I would have to say that this book was a disappointment in the extreme. Most of the ideas are old, tried, and true - there is nothing new in here, and her constant "name dropping" becomes quite annoying.

If you REALLY want a wonderful book... try Stoddard's "Living A Beautiful Life". It is much more worthwhile.

I really like the way Mrs.Stoddard writes, very clear, simple and full of delightful details for the readers to understand what she means. You don't have to have a lot of money to live a beautiful life, just commonsense, beauty thoughts and a will to truly express yourself in your everyday life. This book, like all the others that I've read written by her, were a delight to read and a very good guide for those who want to improve their day-to-day life, paying more attention to minor details that really make a difference. Congratulations, Mrs.Stoddard, on your words, your thoughts shared with us, the way you put the words, tha quotations that you use as examples, the presentation of the books.I'm a big fan of yours and if I have the opportunity one day, I'll attend one of your lectures. Thank you for sharing your ideas with all of us.
