I had a twin soul experience not knowing such an experience was possible. When I asked the book store if books even existed on the subject, I was given this book. I never would have believed it to be possible to either experience or research such a subject if I had not first experienced it. Highly recommend this book for its accuracy.

Thank you Joudry, et al. Your wisdom and insight brought calm and serenity to my heart and soul. I knew I was experiencing something I could not explain and that would not remain unanswered. "Twin Souls" brought me home to the realization that there is purpose to human existence beyond the temporary and illusory state we experience everyday. Joudry lets us know that love has no boundaries, that there will come a day of reconciliation with ourselves, our eternal love, and with God.

A friend of mine lent this book to me after hearing my star-crossed story about the man who is my soul-mate and whom I cannot be with now. This book helps explain the progression of souls from their division to seek knowledge, to their eventual reconnection over the course of one or more lifetimes. It explains why we cannot always "have" the relationship in this lifetime, and how to cope with the process. She was right, it did "make me stronger".

This is without a doubt my favorite writing/reference book. If I was on a desert island with just one writing book, this one would be it (and I have 2 copies). The many lists on a wide variety of genres makes it a perfect brainstorming tool you can use over and over for fiction or scripts.

I love this book! If you write ANY type of fiction, this is a great tool to have for those days slow days infront of a blank screen.

In The Writer's Partner: 1001 Breakthrough Ideas To Stimulate Your Imagination, television script writer Martin Roth draws upon his many years of experience and expertise to present a compendium of quick and easy "things to do" to get started with a writing project, or embellish one already underway. From ideas for character development and plotting, this invaluable resource goes on to address genre categories including science fiction, horror, romance, comedy, sports, crime, westerns, and more. A truly "user friendly" text is further enhanced with appendices on "Web Wordage"; "National Hockey League Teams"; and "Additional Sports League Official Offices". The Writer's Partner is a valuable and practical addition to any writer's reference shelf.

If you liked this book, also try "The Healing Journey Through Menopause" by Phil Rich and Fran Mervyn or "The Healing Journey for Couples" by Phil Rich and Stuart Copans which wil help couples learn how to journal together and develop their relationship. Try other books in "The Healing Journey" series of self help journaling books by Phil Rich. There are also Healing Journey books on journaling for individuals, ("The Healing Journey" and on grief, divorce, job loss, retirement, and addiction.

Over the past 10 years when I have been out giving seminars on menopause and osteoporosis, and now on estrogen, women and men would come forward to ask me about the subjects they still perceive to be "taboo." Subjects came up about lack of libido, erectile dysfunction, sexual boredom in a long term relationship, masturbation, extra marital affairs, safe sex, safer sex, no sex----I could go on and on. And so in addition to the 35,000 questionnaires I had already used for my books on menopause and osteoporosis, I distributed another 6700 questionnaires about our midlife sex lives.

The responses were illuminating, astounding, helpful. My responders were open, honest, and clear in their desire to improve their intimate relationships. I interviewed couples, singles, both gay and straight individuals. I interviewed women and men of many ages and in many stages of life.

Further, I ran focus groups in my home where the information flowed freely as each person present was aware that no one in that group would repeat anything heard there. Those interviewees, those present in the focus groups are represented throughout the book. They are real people, whose occupations and locales have been changed greatly in order to protect their privacy.

I am very proud of this book and have received letters, calls, and e-mails from women and men all over the world who felt they had found their way on the path to quality relationships after reading the book.

I hope "150 Most-Asked Questions About Midlife Sex, Love, and Intimacy"

will help you and make you happy, too.

Sometimes it just takes a reminder that the world is full of people who want to connect with other people, and that it is possible to nurture a really close friendship that will be - in itself - very rewarding. All good relationships have a close friendship as the foundation, so what better way plant the seeds for a romantic relationship? And the more seeds you sow, the more likely one is going to thrive and bloom.

This is a good read, very inspiring, and very down to earth.

This book combines inspiration with practical, sane guidance. Finding and sustaining love is always a challenge, and the older you get, you more you can become dispirited over your chances of ever finding a suitable partner. Another Chance for Love takes the unusual stance that it's actually friendship that is the answer. Seeking out, valuing, and deepening friendships with reasonably suitable individuals may lead you to a longterm, deep, and abiding love that will make your earlier quest for fireworks seem shallow. Gordon and Shimberg discuss values, trust, communication, humor, and passion (not just for sex, but for life) - among the aspects of a good friend. Relaxing into the safety and flow of an authentic friendship, they explain, is more likely to lead to something richer than if you begin every official "date" with unreal expectations.

Every household should have this book along with encyclopedias and a dictionary. Dr. Caravella writes so the ordinary layman can understand the issues. He also writes without regard to a physician's point of view, and keeps the patient uppermost in his mind. I would encourage everyoneI know to purchase this book, and keep it to refer to it as needed. Also Dr. Caravella practices what he preaches. I know as I have been exposed to his medical help over a period of 20 years. Nice job.

I found this book to be excellent... it empowers patients. Dr. Caravella explains in easy-to-understand language the delicate balance between doctor and patient.

This book de-mystifies the intimdating process of being an active participant in one's own healthcare.

This was an excellent book and fun to read. I've been a lover of astronomy for 7 years since I was 13 years old! I've read dozens of astronomy books and this one really is a great one.

This book is a well expresed and enjoyable introduction toastronomy; pictures and graphics, text-boxes on seminal concepts,clear writing do it an amazing reading. Programs and texts on CD arethe precise aid to textbook as a powerful tool for those that want learn about modern astronomy, this thanks to up-to-date references and glossary.

Every science teacher should read this book! The thought, research, and insight the developers put into the new designs for learning science are wonderful. They listened to students, observed how students made sense of the world around them, and adjusted the technology and learning strategies to connect science to everyday happenings in the lives of students. This book also tells the story of how partnerships between higher education, K-12, and field science organizations can bring relevance and meaning to the teaching and learning of science in our schools. Terrific Book!

From my role as a science teacher, it is encouraging to have a book which is informed by years of classroom research. My experience with the Computer as Learning Partnership project has greatly changed my understanding of how kids learn and what it takes to change the way they perceive the world around them. This book provides a pedagogical framework that has worked very successfully over several years and narrows the gap between academic research and classroom practice. I hope that my responses to the "Ask Mr. K." questions will be useful to teachers in reflecting on their own practices.

For a marriage to get back on track, many factors need to change. This workbook puts it all together in clear steps. Easy to read and very comprehensive. It is now my first choice in books to recommend to the couples I work with as a marriage counselor.

A very helpful book for dealing with relationship issues. I would hightly recommend it.

As a student in a Master's of Information and Library Science program I can appreciate the value of this book to any librarian. The information is relevent and applicable in any library setting. Whether you are a veteran or a greenhorn, you will find this book thoughtful and useful.

This is an excellent resource for library media specialists, building and district-wide administrators. For veteran library media specialists, the book provides information on current practices and evaluation methods. Library media specilaists entering the field will find a wealth of information on programs that are successful as well as the methods necessary to implement programs and policies in their own facilities. Building and district administrtors can use this volume as a guidebook when developng and/or rejuvenating library media programs. The book is particularly strong on the issue of staff development. The anecdotal examples are from all kinds of library media programs across the country. There is an excellent index. The bibliography is current and provides many useful resources that can be consulted when developing a comprehensive program. If you are adding one book to your professional collection this year, Curriculum Partner should be the one.

This book is an argument for people in faith-based organizations to become involved in the federal government's service projects. It makes the point that the tide has turned against anti religious sentiment among decision makers who issue grants. In spite of this new trend, there continues to be a lingering anti faith element.

Dave Donaldson describes how a tragedy that occurred in his family early in his life caused him to realize help is needed from multiple sources when such incidents take place. He says the faith-based initiatives are nonpartisan, that they were actually started under President Clinton. President Bush followed through by adding emphasis to what was already on the books.

Other places in this book clear up some legal misconceptions. For example, a faith based organization does not have to hire someone outside their set of beliefs if they accept government money. Additionally there are both direct and indirect means of obtaining government funds.

A Revolution of Compassion is a fair and objective look at the relationship between the faith-based community and government. I found the interviews with government, corporate, social and faith-based leaders to be insightful, while representing both sides of the issue of seperation of church and state. The reader will gain a helpful historical perspective of the history of this current hot-button along with where we stand today on this unresolved issue. More specific ideas as to what initiatives might be taken in local communities would add a necessary component to the book. However, the insight gained is more than useful

This is a very good book and definately worth reading. David Donaldson's personal account of his early life is an inspiring account that leads to an obvious logical conclusion; We must encourage and support the church to continue one of its prime directives, to feed the hungry, give to the poor, etc.. The current effort of acknowledging and encouraging the church to not abandon its efforts to the "professionals" is laudible.
