Partner

This book was really good and I would recommend it to anyone who like romance and time travel. It is about a woman who meets a 1800s cowboy and falls in love, though somewhat reluctantly. The story is full of adventure and will keep you on your toes the entire time. This is definatly a worthwhile read.

This book puts forward some very valuable exercises for recovery from discovering your partner is a sex addict. It is an important part of my library, and a must for anybody trying to break out of their codependent/co-sex addicted behaviors. Although the author acknowledges that there are both male and female sex addicts, however, this book is written with the assumption that the reader is female. Most exercises in the book easily apply to both genders of recovering partners, however. Male partners may be offended by the language, and the assumption that the reader is female. I would recommend trying it anyway.... It has such excellent suggestions!

Extremely Powerful!!
The images and message are timeless regardless of the numbers of times we may have seen these types of photos. The images are so telling of the pervasiveness of racism and the extent of the race problem in America. As a nation, we must know from whence we have come to have a true idea of how to move forward. This book tells it like it is, better yet, shows us how it was. Plain and simple, the images speak for themselves.
This a classic history lesson. A great editing job.

"The Partners Within" belongs to the voluminous body of self-help literature out there on the shelves. What makes this book different or worth your time? Felix's book has two advantages over most of the ego-boosting, *****-fied wisdom tractates, huckstering the "courage to be rich" or the uncorking of human potential through diet and exercise: it is a practical manual about how to meditate; and it frames this instruction in terms of the corporatization of the modern world and the secularism it encourages. This book would be terrific literature to be given out in the faceless corporations that dominate the American economic landscape. Rather than scorn the vapidity of belief system of modern man and woman who work in these industrial parks, Felix understands it as a tabula rasa, as a place to begin the work of inner fulfillment. Whether you agree with his New Age philosophy or not, it is hard to dispute the evidence for the value of meditation-: centuries of spiritual practice lean heavily into the present day. Why isn't prayer or meditation sanctioned in the realms of global capitalism? Felix offers some answers to these questions but mainly in terms of an easy-to-follow program of how to meditate. He regards the human as a quaternity, comprised of body, mind, heart, and soul, each of which affects a realm of human understanding (economics, politics, social relations, and larger cultural interests respectively). In order to awaken the power of these human aspects, Felix has devised a system of ten meditations, each based on a color matched with a nurturing presence, such as Purple/Purpose, Yellow/Heal, and Red/Power. In this respect, Felix's system is not so different from the Vajrayana Buddhist practice of constructing a sand mandala for the purpose of awakening one's Buddha-nature. Each of these colors represents a "partner." The "goal" of meditation is to join in partnership with these colors. To his credit, Felix offers no quick fix, no grand solution to the dilemma of personal meaning, no visions of the divine. He makes it clear that once these partnerships are established, they need to be cultivated for a very long time. As a scholar of religion and religious culture, while I might disagree at times with Felix's grasp of history and culture (he's a closet Hegelian, which I suppose all New Age thinkers are), I can't object to the usefulness of his book, and recognize it for what it is: a Jungian program for the enrichment of the self, a 21st century, corporate updating of Jung's own Man in Search of a Soul.

This book goes into the real world of business by examining the basic cause of most business failures--a breakup of the partnership among those who started or joined the business. It does not matter what form the business has--corporation, limited liability, partnership, or whatever. When things go wrong, members of the firm can involve others in crimes, tax liabilities, and other personal asset robbing schemes even when the victims have no idea what's happening. This book tells what to look for when joining with others, how to protect personal assets against government, creditors, and others who punch right through the corporate shield to strip personal bank accounts, houses, and other assets from their owners. Even if those assets had been in the family years before the business was started.

Tells what to do in setting up a company, how to use a "Key Indicator" approach to running it so as to catch malfeasance before it even affects the firm, and to keep everyone on the right track to make the firm grow.

I can't believe no one has yet to review this book. I find myself going through the book to look up a particular plant combination and then spending at least an hour paging through the book all over again. Anna Pavord's humo(u)rful writing makes for an easy read.

This book is a definite MUST HAVE for anyone, beginner, amateur or professional (even if they wouldn't admit to having it on their shelf) who is interested in combining plants. I started using it about a year ago, and the results are fantastic - these combinations work. I especially like the attention to normally overlooked plants such as euphorbias,violets, and columbines and I am dying to try some of the more exotic combinations.

The featured plant trios each contain a "star" plant and two companions. Each of the stars are also listed in the back with alternative partners. The book is organized with gradations from spring-summer-fall and includes bulbs as well as perennials and a few annuals. Missing are shrubs, roses, and climbers, but we can't have everything in one book, can we?

The main critique I have (if possible I would have deducted 1/2 a star) is that the cultural information is decidedly limited - beginners will need to supplement this book with a good all-around perennial book. The pictures are drop-dead gorgeous and alternative colors and specific named varieties are also given.

My advice - buy this book now and you can still get these plants in before spring really gets rolling.

For those of us who love golf and have children,George Peper's book, Playing Partners, is a must read. Golf, like children, is a life time endeavor, sometimes rewarding, often frustrating but deeply enjoyable. This book captures all the subtleties of these parallel pursuits and shows that there is no magic formula for success, just hard work and practice.

Another vulnerably honest, poetic, daily-living tool from the Wangerin pen... this time, however, delight in hearing from both Wangerins. My husband and I were looking for some help in learning how to pray together (I longed to overcome my awkwardness with praying aloud), and in one of those on-our-knees moments, found this to be just the tender nudge we needed. In a candid style that seems to characterize both Thanne and Walter, the prayers will assuredly give voice to a spectrum of painful and joyous times in the life of a Christian couple. It is a dynamic reference allowing a couple to find easily a prayer language of their own and includes suggestions for private retreat, litanies, and devotions to enrich any married couple seeking to grow together in Christ. The moving Foreward nearly stands alone, but we plan to pair PRAYERBOOK with AS FOR ME AND MY HOUSE for wedding gifts.

This books is an excellent source of philosophy and technique. It is not a substitute for a qualified instructor.

Being a student of Herman's is quite an experience. His knowledge and expertise is extensive, as is his patience. Push hands does not involve pushing, but more of an attempt to discover the balance of your partner, while at the same time hiding yours from them. In essence, it teaches you about yourself and about others. It requires you to live in the moment, and not think about attaining goals per se. It will increase your awareness, and teach you the true principals of Tai Chi.

If you are serious about learning the real Tai Chi, then push hands will help you a great deal. But be patient.

After years of reading books that reference Christian writers like Clement and Bernard of Clairvaux, this Cliff Notes style booklet provided just what I needed -- an introduction to classic Christian references from the Didache to Billy Graham. It stimulated my interest enough to read Watchman Nee and Bonaventure, Andrew Murray and Sheldon. This has provided quite a boost to my devotional life and day-to-day fellowship with the Lord.
