Book Description
I can fix it.
I don't need directions.
I can figure this out on my own. These thoughts that erupt from a man's bravado, from his deep urge to be a
real man. Yet underneath this, there is a louder voice countering,
You can't.
You're not capable.
You're weak. Many men-possibly all men-face two looming questions at some point in their life. What does it mean to be a man, and am I one?
The Way of the Wild Heart reaches out to "unfinished men" trying to understand and live their role as men and fathers. Exploring six biblically based stages, John Eldredge initiates men into a new understanding and ownership of their manhood and equips them to effectively lead their sons to manhood.

GET THIS BOOK.......2007-09-29
I loved Wild At Heart and how he restored masculinity in the church. The goal is not to train our men to be good, nice, coffee-klatsch women. There are parts of being a man that are God-given and shouldn't be set aside.
Now, as a father of two boys, trying to figure out how to be a good dad, this book is revolutionary. I am not the "outdoorsman" that Eldredge is, but we are having significant discussions at our church right now based on this book. I wish more ministers would embrace this book and offer this material to their men.
Most men are bored. And as a businessman, I am extremeley busy. If it were not for deep conviction I would not normally make the time for prioritizing spiritual things in my life. But this book helps me see that it is not just about church. It is about being fathered by God, and passing that fathering on to my sons and to younger men who also need mentoring.
I loved this book!
Wild At Heart.......2007-09-29
Compelling book ; Should be read by EVERY Man
and those who try to live with one successfully,
to help understand how he works inside.
All these books from this author are gifted works on
the workings of the adult man, I believe he is truly inspired.
Biblical Imagery of Masculine Spirituality.......2007-08-22
I've read Eldredge's first book, Wild at Heart, and believe he has as good of a work here if not better. Wild at Heart is a pre-requisite to gain the most benefit from this volume. Even without having read the first title however, Eldredge here will resonate with many Christian male readers.
I simply don't understand how other reviewers can say this book is shallow on its Biblical content -- I don't believe I have seen a better analogy to the life of David in any other work. The masculine journey, according to Eldredge, begins first at boyhood, then progresses to the cowboy, then warrior, lover, king and finally sage. While the author doesn't bluntly offer chapter and verse for the ideas he shares, anyone familiar with the life of David can see clearly the parallels.
I recommend this book to all Christian men. Grandfathers, fathers, and sons alike will all find something here to inspire to walk closer to God and to develop much-needed relationships with other Christian men. This title is well-worth the price.
Great manly read.......2007-07-25
n preparation for a up-and coming hike with my friend Dale, I decided to read this book. I read his first one and loved it. It was called "Wild at Heat." It is the best book I ever read for men and spirituality. In this hike, I am looking forward to the trip. The book certainly motivated me for this time in the woods. Because of this book, this journey is not about the woods as much about connecting to God. Being a minister, it is rare for me to get dirty and sweating, but my background in life is farming and manual labor. I need this hike for my heart. In the church we have taken God and placed him in the church building only. If you want God, find him on Sunday morning, but God is everywhere. In the encounters with God in the Bible, he never approaches the man in the building. This was the perfect book to inspire my future hike. Every man would be blessed by reading this journey. As I read it, my mind reflected back to my journey, it was a enjoyable experience.
A Guide to Becoming a Complete Man.......2007-07-03
This book is a continuation of the topics covered in the book Wild at Heart and has good expansion and further development of the themes. Eldridge's basic premise is that there are 6 stages of the full masculine journey in life. That of the boy, cowboy/ranger, warrior, lover, king, and sage. In each stage the boy/man walks through crucial elements in his development as a man.
The boy stage is when he is young and enjoying doing boy stuff like playing outside, exploring, climbing trees, basically having fun and being delighted in by his parents and family.
The cowboy/ranger stage is when the boy moves more into the young manhood stage where he goes out exploring on his on and begins learning the things of the masculine world such as how to fix a car, working with power tools, going on backpacking journeys in the woods either alone or with some of his friends. This could also include such adventures as backpacking across Europe. The main part of this stage is his learning the answer to the question "do I have what it takes/can I handle this?"
The warrior stage is when the man is beginning his quest and mission in life which may include beginning a career such as a teacher, lawyer, doctor, consultant, mechanic, salesman, or becoming a missionary overseas. This is the stage in which he is finding his cause to fight for and the things that are important to him and what he will work towards during his life.
The lover stage sometimes crosses over with the warrior stage. This is when the man is learning to appreciate beauty and how to love. It is not necessarily when he pursues a woman and learns to love in that sense but can also include the awakening to the beautiful things in life such as nature, art, and music. Full development in this stage will include learning to love and be loved by God in an intimate way. Something Eldridge said which makes sense is that it is best for the man to have established himself as a warrior before entering this stage. Many women can be frustrated with the men they marry who don't seem to have a sense of purpose to their lives and Eldridge indicates that it is best for the man to come to the woman from a state of strength and having journeyed through at least parts of the warrior stage.
The king stage is when the man becomes responsible for leading others. This might include being the head of his household, becoming a manager at work, or a coach of a team. During this stage, warriors may be working for the king.
The final stage is that of the sage. This occurs when a man steps down as a king but does not fade into the distance. He will commonly be an adviser to kings and provide the wisdom that comes only through years of living through the various stages. Gandalf from The Lord of the Rings trilogy would fit this category.
During each of the stages, the man will likely experience parts of all the stages but will generally be centered upon one of them.
In reading this book, I suggest taking it slowly, not because it is difficult reading but so that you can really absorb and take in the topics discussed. I highly recommend this book as an excellent understanding of the development of a man and what makes a whole and complete man.

Journey of Souls is a controversial yet inspiring investigation of the big question we all face at one point or another: "What happens after we die?" To find the answer, Newton opens cases from his private practice in which he hypnotically regressed his clients to a point between lives--after death, but before birth. Not only does Newton grapple with reincarnation, the spirit world, and the nature of the human soul, he also tackles equally sticky questions such as "Is there a Heaven and Hell?" and "What are ghosts?" Readers with a penchant for skepticism will balk at the lack of physical evidence to back up the claims in Journey of Souls, but the book remains a reassuring voice, affirming that our existence is not limited to the boundaries of our mortal flesh. --Brian Patterson

Mind-blowing, Inspiring, Life Altering.......2007-10-16
WOW. Few words can describe how I felt while reading this book.
As someone who felt imprisoned by organized religion my whole life, but whose spiritual sense left me disappointed and unconvinced by Dawkins, Harris, and others in the atheist camp, this book had answers -- real answers that made logical sense. Would it pass the validation test required by scientific method? Of course not. But it resonates with me as truth in every way that religion does not.
If you are in a boat similar to me - cynical of organized religion, but knowing that there is a spiritual world out there, this book will change the way you see the world, and provide insights for personal growth.
Thank you, Dr. Newton - your writings are a gift.
As good as it gets!.......2007-10-15
I bought this book and Destiny of Souls 2 years ago and was fascinated by the information; Already being a hypnotherapist who has done numerous past life regressions, I was intrigued to experience a session with Dr Michael Newton; unfortunately I found out he'd retired several years ago. However, the material in the book so piqued my curiosity that I found a person who does the sessions, and the experience was even more amazing than I'd imagined. All the details in the book actually came to life; it's one thing to read an amazing researchers notes; however, when I found out they were the tip of the iceberg I have to say: Dr Michael Newton has stumbled onto the ability to enter the pearly gates so to speak, and as he describes it himself, he had no idea where his clients were going and he just had to observe and let them tell him what they were experiencing. This book is truly amazing, and that is an understatement!!!! The most astounding fact is that Dr Michael Newton was able to help anyone who wanted the experience. So if the book is amazing; then how to describe the actual experience of going there.......priceless!!!!!! Great work Dr Newton, this is the only book of it's kind anywhere in the world I've ever heard of. Someone mentioned to me it was a sort of Shamanic Journey; however, I've done several of them and this is so much more profound and loving. Again, you've hit the spiritual mother-lode. And had the compassion to share your findings. Congratulations!
Journey Of Souls.......2007-10-05
There is one major difference between Dr. Newton's work compared to Dr. Weiss' work: Newton focusses on the time and activities of a soul in between lifes on Earth, while Weiss reports on the healing aspect of past life regression. There is actually not much overlap in the work of these two authors as far as I can tell (I know two of Newton's books and four or so of Dr. Weiss).
This book is a fairly easy read. Michael's language is clear and easy to understand. He clearly states his points, sometimes muses on his own interpretation of the data, but never goes off on a tangent.
The entire book is more or less centered around 29 case studies, i.e. subjects he hypnotized and regressed to their times in between lifes on Earth. Michael does start out demonstrating how a soul leaves the body at death and what happens next, and also when appropriate shows details of the previous lifes of his patients, but the focus is definitely on the activites in the soul plane. The book is very nicely structured both by the different stages upon entering and leaving the soul plane, as well as by advancement level of soul. He uses each case study to illustrate either a different stage, soul activity, or advancement level. There are chapters that explain the purpose of guides, what soul mates are, and how a new life and body are chosen.
Now, how about actually believing this? I do not have personal experience with past life regression. I know people who do. The concept of reincarnation makes a lot of sense to me, and I do not actually question the validity of it. What Michael's subjects are reporting to him in trance does effectively sound like Science Fiction often times. I was at first put off by the idea of a structured organization in the soul plane that does not sound that much different from life on Earth. That souls advance by learning both on Earth and in the soul plane in study groups. That there are advanced soul beings that are facilitating the soul activites. That advanced soul beings are guiding souls and (in some respect) judging the soul's performance. This all just sounds so un-divine.
Nevertheless, a lot of it sounds fantastic in a positive sense. The idea that souls have incarnated on other planets. That the more advanced souls experiment with creation. How souls start connecting with the brains of their assigned baby. There is a lot of content here that will amaze you! I recommend this book to folks that already believe in reincarnation (otherwise you may find Dr. Weiss' books a better introduction) and are interested in what may be happening between lifes. Especially Dr. Newton's second book offers a lot more detail on all the topics covered here.
Do you find life frustrating and meaningless?.......2007-09-11
Have you ever wondered why we are here? What is our purpose? Who are we supposed to be with? What is the point?
This courageous book attempts to answer these questions through the ambitious effort of hypnotic recall through past-life therapy. Given the level of commitment and the consistency of the responses, Michael Newton paints a very credible picture of where we have come from, where we are going and why that answers many other questions of time and space.
It's a fascinating read for those with an open mind, and provides thought-provoking comfort to those who currently find life frustratingly meaningless.

Book Description
Joe Ehrmann, a former NFL football star and volunteer coach for the Gilman high school football team, teaches his players the keys to successful defense: penetrate, pursue, punish, love. Love? A former captain of the Baltimore Colts and now an ordained minister, Ehrmann is serious about the game of football but even more serious about the purpose of life. Season of Life is his inspirational story as told by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Jeffrey Marx, who was a ballboy for the Colts when he first met Ehrmann.
Ehrmann now devotes his life to teaching young men a whole new meaning of masculinity. He teaches the boys at Gilman the precepts of his Building Men for Others program: Being a man means emphasizing relationships and having a cause bigger than yourself. It means accepting responsibility and leading courageously. It means that empathy, integrity, and living a life of service to others are more important than points on a scoreboard.
Decades after he first met Ehrmann, Jeffrey Marx renewed their friendship and watched his childhood hero putting his principles into action. While chronicling a season with the Gilman Greyhounds, Marx witnessed the most extraordinary sports program he'd ever seen, where players say "I love you" to each other and coaches profess their love for their players. Off the field Marx sat with Ehrmann and absorbed life lessons that led him to reexamine his own unresolved relationship with his father.
Season of Life is a book about what it means to be a man of substance and impact. It is a moving story that will resonate with athletes, coaches, parents -- anyone struggling to make the right choices in life.

Get this book for your graduate.......2007-10-08
There can be no better compliment to a book than the fact that after reading A Season of Life I immediately ordered three more copies for my own kids. I was fortunate to have a coach with his priorities in the right place, and twenty-five years later he remains the benchmark for how I evaluate coaches. This book is a great testament that you can do things the right way, and be successful. It would be an excellent gift for any graduate that will be working with youth.
All parents and youth coaches should read this book.......2007-09-09
I would heartily recommend this book to any parent who has kids involved in youth sports. This is not a book on how to become a coach who wins games. Instead, this is a book that shows how to mold and develop kids who are winners in the game of life.
The Gilman football program wins plenty of games. In this book, Jeffrey Marx highlights the coach and former all-pro NFL footballer Joe Ehrmann. As a coach, he finds it more valuable to teach life lessons to his young charges than football lessons. Of course, they do a lot of good football teaching too. And, the coaches know the game very well.
The book was written after the 2001 season. The coaches at the time felt that Victor Abiamiri was the player most likely to end up in the NFL. In fact, he is now a rookie on the Philadephia Eagles. I have no idea if any other Gilman players have made the NFL. How many kids on any high school team ever make the NFL? Not many. Victor Abiamiri may be the only NFL player of the bunch. However, I am confident that the all or most of the Gilman kids will become good productive members of society.
Of course that is the end result. I recommend you read the story and learn why.
Really, really excellent book.......2007-08-23
As a father of three, including a young boy and a youth football coach, this is a book I recommend to all sorts of people who are involved in helping to raise young boys to become responsible young men -- teachers, coaches, parents and anyone else would be well-served by reading the book.
Great book!.......2007-07-08
This book is a must read for anyone involved in sports. It shows you how to keep things in perspective when looking at the big picture of things to come.
Most moving book I have ever read!.......2007-06-21
As a few others have stated here, I became interested in Coach Ehrmann after watching the documentary by Steve Sabol of NFL Films.
I was very moved seeing how the coaches of the Gilman HS Football team were able to get their message through to the kids. A lot of what they "preach" might be over some kids heads, but they way that they teach life's lessons by using football as the avenue was both brilliant and inspiring.
This past Little League season, I tried my best to emulate what both Ehrmann and the head coach did for their boys, by talking to them, and emphasizing time and time again that I wanted them all to have the greatest time of their lives out there on the field and to never worry about or ask me what the score was. I also made sure that even the weakest players were put in "positions to succeed", rather than worry about putting them in harms way by putting them somewhere where they might "fail". And as scripted in a movie, the most rewarding experience for everyone was when these less naturally talented kids actually made a play for us or got a big hit! The ENTIRE TEAM was overjoyed and started patting them on the head! Nothing could be more motiviating for them...or...for me than actually seeing it come to fruition!
If you DO coach kids, or were ever considering it, you owe it to yourself to look upon it as the vocation that it is...in the way Coach Ehrmann does. You'll be surprised how much of an effect you can have on a kid's life, and how much watching these kids develop together can have an effect on YOUR life. Our record was actually 4-6 this season (and nobody on the team knew), yet it was, by far, our most successful and rewarding season!
Thank you Jeffrey Marx and thank you COach Ehrmann for motivating me more than you'll ever know!!

People around the world have found inspiration in the story of Lance Armstrong--a world-class athlete nearly struck down by cancer, only to recover and win the Tour de France, the multiday bicycle race famous for its grueling intensity. Armstrong is a thoroughgoing Texan jock, and the changes brought to his life by his illness are startling and powerful, but he's just not interested in wearing a hero suit. While his vocabulary is a bit on the he-man side (highest compliment to his wife: "she's a stud"), his actions will melt the most hard-bitten souls: a cancer foundation and benefit bike ride, his astonishing commitment to training that got him past countless hurdles, loyalty to the people and corporations that never gave up on him. There's serious medical detail here, which may not be for the faint of heart; from chemo to surgical procedures to his wife's in vitro fertilization, you won't be spared a single x-ray, IV drip, or unfortunate side effect. Athletes and coaches everywhere will benefit from the same extraordinary detail provided about his training sessions--every aching tendon, every rainy afternoon, and every small triumph during his long recovery is here in living color. It's Not About the Bike is the perfect title for this book about life, death, illness, family, setbacks, and triumphs, but not especially about the bike. --Jill Lightner

1/2 The Story: After "BIKE" Read "WAR".......2007-09-20
IT'S NOT ABOUT THE BIKE gives you a wonderful, inside view of Lance Armstrong. A great read. But only half the story...
Don't miss out on the "outer view," Lance through the eyes of a good reporter. LANCE ARMSTRONG'S WAR: ONE MAN'S BATTLE AGAINST FATE, FAME, LOVE, DEATH, SCANDAL, AND A FEW OTHER RIVALS ON THE ROAD TO THE TOUR DE FRANCE by Daniel Coyle is simply marvelous.
The two books belong together.

Good at the beginning....but it IS about the bike........2007-09-17
I was eager to read this book, I saw Lance on several t.v. shows, his battle with cancer interested me because my mom also had cancer at an early age (29), so I bought the book with the hope of learning what made him strong, wondering: how can he inspire others? Well, the first half was pretty good, I was amazed at how much the cancer took over his body and the grueling recovery. I was in awe of Kik and how she stood by him, along thinking he was a humble,family man. I was wrong. The latter part of the book indeed was "all about the bike" going on and on about all the prep for the upcoming races, the TDF (the biggest, most prestigous bike race), the move to Europe (for the bike) and all the proper cycling terms...ho hum. I almost left that part unread, but I hate doing that, so I trudged on. I was sad to find out later after having read the book, that he no longer was with Kik and his children, but doing just spendidly peddling away and loving his singlehood.
I think in writing this book I only learned that for Lance it IS about the bike (and himself). He seems cold, egotistical and unappreciative of those who sacrificed for him. Is that what it takes to get to the top??
Must read.......2007-09-16
This is a must read for cancer survivors, the most inspirational book I have ever read!
It's not about the bike: My jouney back to life.......2007-09-02
This book has been one of the most inspirational books that I have ever read. Now whenever I'm at the gym I just say to myself, come on mike if Lance can do it so can you. I raced bicycles myself when I was younger and after breaking my collarbone at sixteen years old I thought biking was over for me; If only I realized at that age a broken bone was nothing compared to Lance. Thank you Lance Armstrong.
Inspirational.......2007-08-31
This book is an inspiration. It shows the hardships of battling cancer and the effort of recovery. Lance Armstrong is one of the most driven individuals I've ever read about; I could not put it down. Recommended for anyone and everyone, MUST READ!!!

Christian lecturer and counselor John Eldredge follows up his bestselling Sacred Romance with The Journey of Desire: Searching for the Life We Always Dreamed Of, a book whose very title evokes hope and possibility. The first half of Journey of Desire argues that Christians have forsaken their heart's desire due to the failures and sorrows of life. This is tragic, Eldredge insists, because "absolutely nothing of human greatness is ever accomplished without it." A rousing call to search for the life you've only dreamed of ensues. The question naturally arises as to the "wayward" desire that lies within us, and how it is to be controlled let alone differentiated from our true desires. While the answer isn't clear, the second half of the book focuses on what Christians have to look forward to in heaven--what they are to set their hope upon. Each chapter begins with insightful literary quotes and aptly applied modern song lyrics pertaining to the upcoming text. While the contents could fuel many a theological debate, Eldredge does inspire one to consider what lies in the recesses of his heart, and for Christians hopefully it is a primarily desire for God alone. --Jill Heatherly
Book Description
Sometimes it seems we just can't get what we want. Circumstances thwart our best-laid plans. We struggle to live a heartfelt life. Worst of all, says Eldredge, the modern church mistakenly teaches its people to kill desire (calling it sin) and replace it with duty or obligation (calling it sanctification). As a result, at best Christians tend to live safe, boring lives of resignation. At worst, their desire eventually breaks out in destructive ways such as substance abuse, affairs, and pornography addictions. In
The Journey of Desire, Eldredge invites readers to rediscover God-given desire and to search again for the life they once dreamed of.
Customer Reviews:
Recommended with caveats.......2007-06-19
HIGHLY recommended. Other books of Eldredge may be more popular and interest generating. However, this is his foundational book. This book provides brilliant insight into our desires.
The caveat is that one must complete the reading of this book by reading a couple of other authors.
First, John Piper's books such as Desiring God or The Pleasures of God.
Second, Lou Giglio's book - The Air I Breathe.
These two authors complement Eldredge and corrects Eldredge's more 'man-centric' focus.
Discover Hope--the energizer of faith and love.......2007-06-04
I cannot state strongly enough how enthusiastically I recommend this book. I truly believe this message is a gift from the Lord, delivered through Eldredge. There is a reason that faith, hope, and love are the three cardinal virtues; yet Christians often seem to be tremendously lacking in hope. And for our faith and love to be what they should, they need the empowerment of hope.
The basic message of the book is this: our hearts demand Paradise; we simply cannot arrange for it in this life; it is indeed coming (for those who will receive it from the Lord).
"Journey of Desire" is a wonderful guide to growing in hope, to understanding why we're deficient in it, to illuminating the threats to it...to understanding life. This book is a compelling guide and invitation to the life that's worth living. Absolutely, positively "must" reading. Indeed, more than simply reading this book, it deserves to be studied, meditated on, digested. The message delivered in this book is one of the most important I've ever received.
p.s. I've also read "Wild at Heart", "Epic", "Waking the Dead", and "Sacred Romance". They are all excellent, all important. I believe the Lord has much to say to us through Eldredge.
Great read!.......2007-04-16
Books are highly subjective, but I have always liked John's books. Be aware of all the pompous critics out there who claim that John is 'aloof' or not quite 'in touch'. I know that God has used his writing in wonderful ways for myself, and MANY that I know. And that should be testament to itself. Always check everything that you read against or compared to the Scriptures, but read his book for yourself before deciding to take the 'advice' of the raters!

I love this book! John Eldredge takes the reader on an adventure. What a book!
Pass it forward - An abundant life is a passionate life.......2007-03-13
The author captivates his readers with his authenticity. I've read this book at least 3 times and find new nuggets every time. I have used it in coaching and mentoring and most recently I gave it to a friend to "pass it forward" (instructing the next person to do the same). Read this book with a prayerful attitude, then read "The Dream Giver" by Bruce Wilkinson. Many people travel through this life without experiencing the pleasure of passionate living. Passionate living is not based on our circumstances, it is based on relationship. Our relationship with Jesus Christ is defined by His passion for life and for us. "He is not the God of the dead, but of the living..." (Lk 20:38). Read the book and then PASS IT FORWARD!
Book Description
In A Hidden Wholeness, Parker Palmer reveals the same compassionate intelligence and informed heart that shaped his best-selling books Let Your Life Speak and The Courage to Teach. Here he speaks to our yearning to live undivided lives—lives that are congruent with our inner truth—in a world filled with the forces of fragmentation.
Mapping an inner journey that we take in solitude and in the company of others, Palmer describes a form of community that fits the limits of our active lives. Defining a “circle of trust” as “a space between us that honors the soul,” he shows how people in settings ranging from friendship to organizational life can support each other on the journey toward living “divided no more.”
Inspired by Palmer’s writing and speaking—and challenged by the conditions of twenty-first century life—people across the country, from many walks of life, have been coming together in circles of trust to reclaim their integrity and help foster wholeness in their workplaces and their world.
For over a decade, the principles and practices in this book have been proven on the ground—by parents and educators, clergy and politicians, community organizers and corporate executives, physicians and attorneys, and many others who seek to rejoin soul and role in their private and public lives.
A Hidden Wholeness weaves together four themes that its author has pursued for forty years: the shape of an integral life, the meaning of community, teaching and learning for transformation, and nonviolent social change. The hundreds of thousands of people who know Parker Palmer’s books will be glad to find the journey continued

Livegiving!.......2007-05-21
The guiding image of this book is a rope tied from a house to the barn, which helps the farmer back home in case of a blizzard. The book does exactly that. It helped me find my true self in the midst of a storm.
A Guidepost.......2007-05-02
What an excellent book! Parker Palmer has quickly become one of my favorite authors. The imagery of the midwestern blizzard and early farmers lost in storms in thier own backyards as an analogy of the social and psychological turmoils we face today was masterful. Palmer's outline of steps toward awakening and the promise of the continual journey toward wholeness was inspiring. I highly recommend this book to all of us who are aware of the infinite potential of mankind and are struggling to maximize our own potential.
quaker wisdom on integrating our inner and outer lives.......2007-01-18
"This book," writes Parker Palmer, "brings together four themes I have been musing on since my mid-twenties: the shape of an integral life, the meaning of community, teaching and learning for transformation, and nonviolent social change." Writing from his Quaker tradition (think "inner light"), most of this book explores the first of these four themes. How do we join our inner and outer lives into an undivided whole? How do we bring together "soul and role?" Instead of impersonating ourselves, wearing masks, living on the surface of social images, accepting how other people define us, etc., how do we discover our true selves? We do it through forming what Palmer calls "circles of trust" where others can help us to hear the voice of our individual and unique "inner teacher." These circles of trust function much like church small groups, only they are much more intentional about their narrow purpose, and have very strict guidlines (eg, "no fixing, no saving, no advising, and no setting each other straight"). In these groups we hold each other safe, and neither invade or evade. I love the notion of integration and wholeness. I am less convinced of the wisdom of listening to my own inner voices, and sense a need for an "outside" voice from God and Scripture to help me understand my true identity in Christ. The Lutheran tradition provides a balance. Palmer's book does not help here because even though he is a Christian, this book is written for the broadest possible audience (school teachers, business people, health care workers, etc.). It is a good half loaf; I'd love to hear his specifically Christian version.
Individuals need community to function.......2007-01-10
Wow, this was a life-changing book. I was expecting more of a self-help type book, but this was more about the way communities should function in helping individuals find the wisdom within themselves to deal with life. More of a community-help than a self-help approach. From now on I will work on coming alongside people, being available, and asking thoughtful, caring questions, and avoid giving advice. I also hope to start several circles of trust as outlined in the book, since nothing of the sort is currently available in my area. You will find this book very enlightening if you have been having trouble figuring out what you want, and/or have been frustrated by an inability to get others to follow your advice.
A Hidden Wholeness.......2007-01-04
Excellent resource to aid one's reflections on our personal and depth journeys. The best book from Palmer to date; I eagerly anticipate his next one.

Book Description
A Leadership Network Publication
A New Kind of Christian's conversation between a pastor and his daughter's high school science teacher reveals that wisdom for life's most pressing spiritual questions can come from the most unlikely sources. This stirring fable captures a new spirit of Christianity--where personal, daily interaction with God is more important than institutional church structures, where faith is more about a way of life than a system of belief, where being authentically good is more important than being doctrinally "right," and where one's direction is more important than one's present location. Brian McLaren's delightful account offers a wise and wondrous approach for revitalizing Christian spiritual life and Christian congregations.

Essential Reading on the Journey.......2007-10-03
Everyone seems to come to their spiritual beliefs in a "journey" of sorts. The books seems to be marketed primarily to those either trying to move along on the path, or those questioning where they are presently. I guess I fell in the former group when I read this about a year ago.
Anyone truly seeking God will have questions that those on other parts of the path sometimes do not understand and even riducule at times. The first thing I will say about this book (and I have since read the second volume and The Secret Message of Jesus by McClaren...currently reading the third volume, as well as several other spiritually-based books) is that is makes you feel better about questioning some things. In some ways, it even makes you realize that maybe we were meant to do so.
You will agree with some things, disagree with others, but at least it will make you think about what you believe and why. Hopefully it will further spur you to expand your reading, put that reading in context with the teachings of your church, discussions with friends, etc. to further your journey.
My personal thought is that you should have at least at a point of belief in a monotheistic God before reading McClaren. Anywhere beyond that and I think you will find this helpful, and a quick read in a style that is also entertaining and interesting.
Loved it!.......2007-09-17
This is obviously a polarizing book. Great books usually have that effect. I personally found it fascinating. I didn't perceive this book as a threat to present-day Christianity at all. It was quite refreshing to read, and I'm very glad that I read this book. If you're often disappointed with the status quo, take a chance and read this book!
Why I liked this book, and why I also have some concerns........2007-09-04
I really enjoyed and benefited from reading McLaren's book. I have some concerns, but first let me explain why I like it.
I am an Evangelical who has been studying theology for the last couple of years at University, particularly looking at the New Testament from a 1st century perspective. I have been loving it, and feeling almost like I have been discovering for the first time what Jesus was really on about. But at the same time I have been feeling increasingly isolated in my Church, where the bible is largely understood through a pre-critical (McLaren would say `modern') lens, which at times results in interpretations of the bible that are totally foreign to how people most likely understood Jesus in the 1st century. I have realised that my `isolation' is just going to keep growing, and a few weeks ago I could see only two options. Either, I was going to have to live a lie and keep most of this stuff to myself, or stop believing and leave the church.
Most of the book resonated with my experiences. In it McLaren gives an imaginary dialogue between a struggling pastor and a post-evangelical, and through this he outlines some of the ways the modern church has 'framed' the biblical material by briefly reflecting on how some things would be understood in the first century. This book (as I understand it) suggests that someone like me should continue to deconstruct my `modern' way of thinking about things, but at the same time construct a new `post-modern' framework that is big enough to contain my beliefs, questions, doubts etc. Perhaps the biggest help for me was sensing the importance of not doing this alone, that I need others with me for the ride. In a way I think the main message of this book is that if your worldview no longer makes sense of things you can either give it up, or you can entrench yourself in it and become increasingly isolated and closed minded, or you can deconstruct it, discover what is worth keeping, and build a new world view that is big enough to make sense of life's complexities.
To give an example from the book, McLaren critiques the `gospel' and He suggests I think correctly that the gospel needs to be reframed around the 'kingdom of God/heaven' (the rule or kingship of God). As I understand it `Repent and believe' in Mark 1:15 means giving up our own agenda, and accepting the agenda of God's kingdom or rule. The gospel is not meant to be an individualistic ticket into heaven; the good news is that God's rule through Jesus has broken into the world, and it is growing (like a mustard seed - see Mark 4:31) we can now join what God is doing in the world, with a future hope in the resurrection and a restored world. So what about the crucifixion? The crucifixion is central to this. The crucifixion is not so much about God forgiving our past sins (in the OT God forgave Israel's sins over and over again), it is the means by which kingdom people are somehow released from the power of sin over our lives and are being made 'righteous.' It is central to our participation in God's kingdom. I am aware this is quite different from how alot of Evangelical's might understand things, but I'd recommend (if you feel this way) that you read books by some respected mainstream critical scholars like NT Wright. Try one of his less technical books like `The Challenge of Jesus.'
My only concern is one of methodology. I have not read anything else by McLaren, so I accept that some of my concerns may have been answered by him elsewhere. In my study we have been taught the historical-critical method, which provides a good basis for examining 1st century thought and critiquing subsequent developments. McLaren doesn't seem to strongly advocate any method in this book, which I fear leaves `a new kind of Christian' open to a pick and choose method of critiquing `modern' understandings of the bible. I feel that in a post-modern church perhaps we all need to learn to think critically about our faith and be actively engaged with critical scholars. An example in the book of a non-critical approach is that he occasionally justifies a position based on (for example) some speculative ideas of C.S. Lewis. I find C.S. Lewis' ideas interesting, but I think we need to be more rigorous than this in our approach and first examine what the bible has to say through the lens of it's own 1st century context (as McLaren seems to do most of the time).
Missing the point.......2007-08-30
This is a very well written and compelling book.It was a joy to read it and all the sequels very quickly.
I will put this briefly. The problem is the same thinking that the world that does not know God uses.
If God will not show Himself clearly, if He will not work miraculously in our daily lives, then we can manufacture a worldview, events, rituals, community and experiences that will show a form of spirituality that will help to slake some of the spiritual thirst modern believers have.
Since God is not not here, we should expect that, and learn to "find" Him in other ways.
Guys, nice try. You're missing it. It's happening in other parts of the world, like in China. Read Jackie Pullinger's Chasing the Dragon, or Brother Andrew's God's Smuggler, and compare them to this book.
There is a huge difference here. Both of these people are alive and running active ministries, so this isn't something for another time, and you can go talk to these people yourself.They are adressing real modern problems in a real way that the world can't do. Ask yourself, what is wrong in America if the rest of the world is reliving the book of Acts, while we find ourselves trying to reinvent Christianity so that we don't feel dead and unanswered, and so that people outside the church might feel interested in attending a service.
The church in America is a car without gas trying to re-read the owner's manual trying to figure out how metaphorically it is supposed to run 75 mph. You gotta put gas (The Holy Spirit) in the car, otherwise it won't run. Doesn't matter how we dress it up so it looks like it's running, it still won't run, and the unbelievers are walking faster than a car without gas can go.Read the manual again if you have to.It's all in there.
The Conversation Begins..........2007-08-17
It is interesting to me how so many of the people who review this book speak of "theology" as something that can be captured and pinned down like some specimen of insect.
Yes...much as been revealed of God. But there is so much more that is mystery...so much more that is legitimately left open to interpretation. We are in the midst of God's story. How dare we treat him as a specimen to be dissected and defined in some narrow scientific way.
That said, I find the value of this book to be that it is a fictional conversation between two characters dealing with the truly real questions of this story, this life, that we find ourselves in.
It reminds me of the kind of all night bull sessions that we too infrequently get to have after our college days are done.
There are many ideas worth pondering in this book. A couple that caught my imagination were the importance of conversation rather than conversion and the idea that maybe God's mercy is his judgement--in other words, what will be left of some people if he truly removes all that is born of sin someday?--as he promises to do in scripture.
To those who say unkind things of Mr. McLaren, who judge without reading, or who read without allowing themselves to think...please find something better to with your time. No one--NO ONE--has been able to put God in a box. No one has the knowldege of God or of his way for us to live down to a science. God transcends science.
(and that is one of the main points of this book...)
So please stop slamming a man who is trying to stir a conversation about how to better reach people with the love of God. What an awful way to waste the breath & energy that God is giving you.
Book Description
Four years after training with the old warrior he calls Socrates, and in spite of all he has learned, Dan Millman confronts personal failure and growing frustrations. Disillusioned with his life, unable to bridge the gap between knowing and doing, he sets out on a worldwide quest to rediscover his sense of purpose and source of inspiration. A buried memory sends him on a search for a woman shaman deep in a Hawaiian rain forest. She is the gateway to all his hopes and his fears — and only she can prepare him for what is to come. In worlds of shadow and light, he encounters inner tests, mortal challenges, disturbing revelations, and memorable characters in the most crucial quest of his life. This is the sacred journey we all share, says Millman, the journey to the light that shines at the heart of all our lives.
Customer Reviews:
Socrates. story is Millman's best work!.......2007-09-13
I saw the movie first and THEN bought the books. I liked all of his books but this was by far my favorite-especially with the surprise ending. The former Olympian, Dan Millman, has an interesting way of blending truth and fantasy in his auto-biographical novels so that you don't know where the reality ends but this book is delightfully inspiring and hard to put down. His characters are so engaging that you almost feel as if you know them personally instead of second hand through his words. And as he heals himself you find strength gathering deep in your core. Hemmingway he isn't but can definitely give Dwyer, Chopra, Redfield and Quinn a run for their money.-
It seems like one always finds these types of books at a time one needs them most- but as his grandfather was fond of saying, "Nothing is coincidence."
Love Millman, hated this book........2007-08-24
I have been a Dan Millman for over 20 years. I own almost all of his books, but this was by far the worst. If I had read this one 1st I never would have picked up another book by him.
This book goes too far into the "mystic" and "new age" side of his teachings. It was too far fetched for me. Minor details did not fit with what was written in "The Way of the Peaceful Warrior." One MAJOR thing was that "Joseph" comes back from the dead to make an appearance in this story. Not a vision - Joseph is alive and well and raising a family.
Everything else I have read by Dan, has inspired me to make changes in my life and try to improve, not so with this story.
It does have some insightful thoughts, but they are few and far between.
Finishing it was drudgery. Do yourself a favor, choose another title and let Dan inspire you.
The Sacred Warrior review ~.......2007-08-11
I am currently enjoying the Sacred Journey of the Peaceful Warrior. Although I have not ended the book, it is uplifting and fun reading for early mornings in the hot tub!!! It is somewhat spiritually uplifting and I appreciate that very much. I have other projects in the middle that is why the reading is going a little more slowly but in this way I can enjoy it a little more as well. Thank you for this review.
Excellent follow-up to Peaceful Warrior.......2007-05-21
I think what intrigues me most about Millman's work is the psuedosemi-autobiographical nature of the the stories he tells. The anecdotes that didn't actually happen drive home a very powerful point, and the anecdotes that did actually happen are just as amazing and world-view altering as the fiction.
In Sacred Journey, Millman shares with his readers another of his teachers on his path through life. Saturated with the wit, inspiration, and one-liners that so well established themselves in Peaceful Warrior, this book is expands upon his quest to enlightenment by focusing on the instructions of a wise Kahuna woman.
I highly recommend this book to those interested in learning about the journey of this peaceful warrior--one of many possible paths.
Excellent story!.......2007-01-10
This book really should only be read after you have read Way of the Peaceful Warrior. This one takes place sort of in the middle of the other. It states in the preface the exact page number where you could actually put the other book down, read this one, and then pick the other back up again and continue on. But, it is a great story and I highly recommend it!
Book Description
Since its original publication in 1995, Leading with Soul has inspired thousands of readers. Far ahead of its time, the book bravely revealed the path to leadership to be a very personal journey requiring a knowledge of self and a servant-leader mentality. Now, in this new and revised edition, authors Bolman and Deal address such currrent issues as the changing nature of work, the new face of today's workforce, and the greater need for an infusion of soul in the workplace. They also include real-life stories from readers of the first edition, and answer key questions that those readers raise. As vital as ever, this revisted narrative of an executive and his quest for deeper meaning continues to point the way to a more fulfilling work experience.

Saccharine for the Soul.......2007-07-12
First, a disclaimer -- I'm an atheist, so a book that regularly refers to concepts like "soul" and "prayer" wasn't perfect for me.
That said, as a former partner in an international management consulting firm I've had to wade through many poorly written management and advice books. Among those, this stands out for being particularly vapid. The conceit of being a work of fiction that teaches allows the authors to ignore the need for research or data. The fictional account also allows them to avoid taking any repsonsibility for presenting alternate viewpoints or expressing doubt.
Most management books have a theme that could have been confined to a ten page article, which the authors instead run out to 200 pages to make a book. In this case, the messages of "more to life than work" and "treat employees with respect" would have better been presented as a five paragraph essay.
Nice cover photo of the woods though...
leading with soul.......2007-04-07
I found this book to be very well written, useful in my career decision making.
I hope to read more books written by this arthur.
Easy Read Business Book.......2007-03-11
Leading with Soul is an easy read. But it has so much to give to the reader. It interweaves a story line of an executive in crisis with business advice rather than just telling war stories. It could be one of those business books that you read once a year. It is a living book that would continually have new insights as you live your life.
For example I participated in an on-line book study at the Work and Worship Institute, and one of the questions I answered was:
Reflect on Gandhi's words we must "become the change that we want to see in the world."
My answer: I think it is critical that leaders role model the type of behavior and values they want to see in followers. It is hard to change other people when you haven't experienced the change yourself. Also by trying to become the change our understanding of the change will we different. The group might still need to make the change but how a change is implemented or the timing of the change can be very different. I work with small businesses, it helps that I bought a business and went bankrupt as I consult with them. I have walked a difficult small business walk. I understand that new change of starting a new adventurer of a small business. I am the change because I have taken a risk.
Obviously you would answer this question differently and I would answer it differently today than I did two years ago. Enjoy this valuable book.
Leading with Soul book.......2007-02-12
I recieved the latest version of the book. The shipping was within the deadline promised. It is the latest edition of the book. The book itself is of medium quality. It is a new, unused hardback but the finish of the pages is rough. There are pages sticking out from the inside a couple centimeters and (compared with the straitness of the text)the top and bottom of the pages from left to right are uneven. It is obvious this was a cheap reproduction of the origonal and it was not cut right from the factory. When the book is looked at it appears someone or something was chewing on all the edges of the pages inside the book. The hard cover is perfect though. But, seeing as I paid less than 8 dollars for a HARD BACK book and that all the printed text was perfect and more than readable, I really souldn't complain. I am satisfied. The cosmetic errors did not take away at all from the functionality of the book. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED SELLER!
I wish all would lead with soul. Great book.......2006-10-26
A parable and an introduction to a personal journey from autocratic and hateful leadership to leadership with soul. This is a book that invites you in and holds you tight as you read this compelling journey. Changing from autocratic leadership to leading with soul is daunting and not many make the journey. My question is what does it take to move autocratic leadership to make the transition. May be the question of the century. If we can move people to this leadership paradigm, we can change people's lives, their family's lives, and create a new reality for the children of this world. Read this book.

The Inner Voice of Love: A Journey Through Anguish to Freedom is a collection of passages from Henri Nouwen's journals, written during a period when his self-esteem evaporated, his energy to work disappeared, and God seemed entirely unreal. This is not a book to be read straight through: each short chapter takes time to digest, because, like the following passage, each of Nouwen's thoughts has the raw complexity of real honesty:
Your body needs to be held and to hold, to be touched and to touch. None of these needs is to be despised, denied, or repressed. But you have to keep searching for your body's deeper need, the need for genuine love. Every time you are able to go beyond the body's superficial desires for love, you are bringing your body home and moving toward integration and unity.
--Michael Joseph Gross
Book Description
This is Henri Nouwen's "secret journal." It was written during the most difficult period of his life, when he suddenly lost his self-esteem, his energy to live and work, his sense of being loved, even his hope in God. Although he experienced excruciating anguish and despair, he was still able to keep a journal in which he wrote a spiritual imperative to himself each day that emerged from his conversations with friends and supporters.
For more than eight years, Henri Nouwen felt that what he wrote was too raw and private to share with others. Instead, he published The Return of the Prodigal Son, in which he expressed some of the insights gained during his mental and spiritual crisis. But then friends asked him, "Why keep your anguish hidden from the many people who have been nurtured by your writing? Wouldn't it be of consolation for many to know about the fierce inner battle that lies underneath so many of your spiritual insights?"
For the countless men and women who have to live through the pain of broken relationships, or who suffer from the loss of a loved one, this book about the inner voice of love offers new courage, new hope, even new life.
Customer Reviews:
Nouwen's Seeking Heart.......2007-07-25
Of Nouwen's books, this one has a deeper vulnerability than the others. I have always appreciated his organic spiritual depth and relational intimacy with God, but this book is different. It's raw, personal and vulnerable - and therefore very helpful. Not many men (males) would come out and say the things he says, and that's part of what makes it refreshing. His search for love and affirmation is more honest than I've read from any other writer and his gift to readers is his willingness to put these expressions in print. The book speaks most powerfully to the inner struggles of doubt and emotional need. If you've never been in that place I doubt the book will mean much, but if you have, you might find it to be water for your desert place.
A true gem!!!.......2007-06-01
Henri Nouwen gives an insightful, raw, emotional response to his "dark night of the soul". This book is a perfect for anyone who is at a cross-roads in thier own journey.
Healing.......2007-03-21
This book came to me at a perfect stage in my healing. One reads whatever one feels drawn to instead of just reading the book through page by page. It really added a depth of understanding to my journey and what I was truly going through. How refreshing! I was able to stay in some difficult places with God because of Henri's insight into spiritual things. I've bought the book for several friends who also love it!
beautiful.......2007-01-16
This short book tells the story of my life. It has been a great comfort to me. Drawn from Nouwen's own experiences of breakdown and collapse, the book is his private journal - written in brief entries of "spiritual imperatives" it reads like a daily devotional.
Filled with profound insight and a deep sense of love and compassion. Highly recommended for anyone who is struggling or wants to feel the presence of God's love in a more intimate way.
Thoughts on the Inner Voice of Love.......2006-03-24
One of Nowen's best books, coming from a highly personal experience. His sharing of intimate thoughts during a stage of intense suffering and loss and the process by which his relationship with God slowly lifted him from his dispair is a great source of comfort. The structure of the book, divided in individual "spiritual imperatives" makes it very powerful. One of the most moving and soul-nourishing book I have read.
