If your looking for an answer of what it means when you see 11:11, this book will introduce you to our Midwayer friends.

Well this book was bought because I saw the numbers 11:11 often for about 20 years or so but often lately. I read the book and there was alot of real stories of the author getting insights from his spirit guardians. I found it hard to comprehend the writers thoughts. I was expecting more explanations but got really mixed up in all the stories and names jumping from one to another.

The Search for 11:11 takes us into the reality where we begin to discover how Heaven reaches down to us to help us. George's experiences are a thrilling journey into this greatly unknown realm, and he sheds the light of his partnership with the celestials in a humorful and compelling manner.

Many of us have had highly coincidential experiences, even our own 11:11 wake-up calls and promptings. I found his sharing of his accounts with the Spirit Guardians an intriguing look at how loved, guided, and cherished we are by a huge celestial reality that staggers our imagination.

Highly recommended if you are on a serious quest for answers about the significance of the 11:11 phenomenon or if you've had personal experience of 11:11 but weren't sure what it was all about.

I've been on a spiritual path, searching for "the truth" all my life; I stumbled upon George Barnard by doing a simple search on the Internet after wondering 'what the heck is going on' upon noticing that more times than not I'd be looking up at the time and seeing 11:11 or 1:11 (am or pm), only to be awaken out of a dead sleep, open my eyes and see these same numbers on the clock as well.

The effect George Barnard has had on my life is beyond measure; his books (The Search For 11:11;and In The Service Of 11:11), his websites (listed in the books), the Celestial messages he is passing along to all of us, his personal support in understanding what 11:11 prompts are all about is immeasurable as it touches every aspect of who we are individually and as a whole with regard to our relationship to God, The One, All-That-Is, Our Creator (regardless of which name is used to name our Father/Mother in Heaven).

This book is only one in a series (another is available through George Barnard's website); can't wait for the next ones to become publicly available. You, the reader, owe it to yourself to just 'check it out', as I have.

This was a fun read. George Barnard has a wonderful use of the language with great humor and story-telling ability. I was being bombarded with 11s all over the place and plugged in 11 in Amazon's search engine. Up came this book and it was exactly what I was looking for - an explanation of why I am seeing 11s everywhere! If you are aware of the Urantia Book, this will make sense. If you are into numerology it will explain a few things. If you are having some unexplainable things happen to you on a regular basis, then this book will enlighten you. It doesn't give you all the answers but leads you into a direction to use in your own meditations.

The book arrived before the projected date of arrival. It was in extremly excelent condition. I was very pleased with my purchasing experiance!!!!! I highly recomend this seller!!

The Secret Is Out ... God really does care for you, and He wants you to have a great life. The author does a good job disseminating Truths that make life work. I thoroughly enjoyed the book.

I bought this book, originally, because I had read The Secret and thought this would be a nice addition to that. This book is much more profound because it involves God and all that he has to offer us. After reading this book twice, I view the world much differently and more positively.

This is a wonderful book for seekers of God. Dr. Cloud does an awesome job of countering the book "The Secret" by showing our need for God not an inpersonal universe. He points out good features of "the Secret" as well as clarifying the need for a relationship with God rather than reliance on ourselves.
Great read...or group study.

Anything by Drs. Cloud and Townsend is--well just buy it; it will be exactly what you need and have been looking for.
The title is good marketing but the book is about all there is of God available to me each and every hour and all I need do is ask.
These guys are great individually and together (How to Grow) are beyond any author today.

Vonda writes beautifully an in such a way that you can see the story unfold! She makes the pratical applicable and helps the reader understand how they can apply her truths to their lives! loved it!
Tamra Nashman, author, 'Shoes For The Spirit, Encouragements'

This book had an immediate impact on me! The author truly makes us aware of how effective Satan's lies are in our daily walk. Loved her humorious, nitty-gritty realities. So refreshing and so inspiring!
Could hardly put it down!
Annetta Dellinger, Plain City, OH

Vonda touches on so many of the "lies" I have believed. This book made me even more aware of the impact of my background and of Satan on my present life.
The book is down to earth and easy to relate to. I love Vonda's sense of humor. Sometimes I laughed because the story was so funny; other times I laughed because it was a "gotcha' moment" when I realized the story was funny because it was oh so true.

What a great book!

I loved how Vonda writes about the lies we easily buy into--through stories to which I could easily relate while laughing out loud! Her take on the Proverbs 31 woman is especially enlightening since we try to "do it all" unsuccessfully and feel like failures. With outstanding suggestions, such as getting over life being all about "me" by "Serve on Your Birthday," she shows us exactly how to live in truth instead of lies. And the biblical references at the end of each chapter give us the opportunity to dwell of God's Word, letting it soak into our being and help us live in the truth instead of the opposite. I'll be quoting from her book when I speak!

I love Vonda's new book!

Just holding it in my hands makes me happy.

The cover is beautiful and the content, well, simply wonderful. Vonda manages to handle a number of difficult topics in a light-hearted way. Not in a shallow way, but in a way that allows you to chuckle at yourself while looking deeply at why you do the things you do. On one hand, you'll be challenged in your beliefs, on the other, you'll smile to yourself and relate with the author. Vonda offers an honest and authentic reflection of her own journey while challenging you to take account of your own.

Whether you are a skeptic to spirituality, or a hardcore believer, this book is a must read for all. It pushes your limits and conventional belief systems, and exposes you to a new dimension of possibilities. Hope does not die and Sunny Ariel has written this book in a easy to read way, injecting doses of humor that will have you laughing out loud with a beautiful story woven in and out of insights through a broad knowledge from other author's work. This is a book which opens your eyes and gives the assurance, we are okay just as we are.

This is just a wonderful, marvelous book. The author conveys so many basic spriritual principles in a beautiful, heartfelt and personal way that really pulls the reader in. I truly enjoyed this book. Thank you Sunny for sharing your true story of forgiveness triumphant over death.

Using human interpersonal relationships as a vehicle for enlightenment and progressive social change, Sunny Ariel shares her personal quest for greater soul integration. Shalom My Love is a riveting account of a love affair that redefines spiritual fulfillment. Offering thought- provoking possibilities, the author shares vital information, embracing the inherent natural perfection that is our shared birthright. Steeped in magic, mystery and intrigue, Shalom My Love paints a glowing portrait of the beauty of the infinite journey, honoring the exquisite process of forgiveness. Read, enjoy....transform!

You will not want to put this book down! It's as if Sunny is your best friend and you're intensely engrossed in a deeply soul-searching conversation with her (and Gadi). By the time you get to the end of this awe-inspiring book you'll feel as if she actually is! Very, very highly recommend. Sunny guides you on her journey along the fascinating loops and spirals of her awakening spirituality and endless love.

I love this book; the love story will always remain very special in my heart. The author of Shalom My Love, Sunny Ariel, takes you along on her trip through her full and exciting life, her loves and her spiritual journey. The writing is honest, witty, moving and magic. The spiritual messages are powerful.

Through Sunny's heartful experiences, the reader is gifted with the ability to see the afterlife lovingly and peacefully. This book makes a wonderful gift for anyone who has ever lost a loved one. It offers hope and peace without being `religious'. The ongoing relationship of Sunny and Gadi is nothing short of breathtaking.

One of the most engaging books I have read in a long time. I did not have to work my way through it. In fact I had a hard time putting it down. It is amazing to me how a story could be so engaging and educational at the same time. This book has helped me and has affected my daily life in a positve way. The story is told in such a way that one never feels lectured or talked at. But there is a definite learning going on in every chapter. I highly recomend this book to anyone wishing to connect with their daily experience in a more deep and profond way.

Among all the spiritual books I've read over the years, Silence and the Soul stands out as the most open and accessible sharing of a spiritual journey I've come across. It is this openness -Ellen and Gary's willingness to reveal the intimate details of their experiences with their inner selves - that makes this book so powerful. One is no longer left wondering about the nature of their transformative experiences, which is so often the case. Rather, one is allowed to fully see what has occurred for them and how they have responded to those experiences and thus to begin to understand the possibilities for oneself. For anyone truly seeking to know more of their own innerself, this book is a rare gift

Silence and the Soul is a deeply inspiring book that takes you on the authors' personal journey into self-awareness. It is a beautiful account of a time in their lives when they chose to retreat into the Silence in order to listen to and develop a strong, life long relationship with inner wisdom. This book reminds me that the path toward spirit is a process with many steps, missteps, and seeming detours along the way. To read this book is to journey along with the authors into self-discovery and awareness.

Collaboratively written by Ellen Miller and Gary Sherman (creators of the Perceptual Integration Process), Silence And The Soul: Awakening Inner Wisdom is a deeply spiritual book about traversing a journey of consciousness. Miller and Sherman cogently describe the soul-searching effects of listening to the wisdom of one's Inner Teacher, and drawing upon connections between emotional cleansing and a higher level of outreach to the world around us. Highly recommended reading for students of spirituality, Silence And The Soul is a profound metaphysical and personal testimony to the evolution of perception, both within and beyond the five senses.

This book is a great "relationship autobiography" of two very conscious beings who share their journey of deepening with each other, and through the book, with us. I think we are living in a time when a lot of what has traditionally been called "spiritual work' is being done with a partner--someone who both nurtures us and who chafes us into looking more honestly and deeply at ourselves. Silence and the Soul was a great inspiration to live my life larger and more meaningfully and to understand the power of intention and conscious choice.

I couldn't put it down! Jo is open and honest about the challenges she has faced and is facing in life. She shows by her story that we can cling to our Father,trust Him, and choose to live joyfully no matter what life throws at us. I recommend this book to anyone who is facing anything they don't understand or don't feel they can handle, from physical challenges to relationship challenges, and beyond. Jo will encourage and inspire you, and give you the courage to trust God in the midst of your own difficult times. I am getting more copies to give to those I know who need real-life encouragement.

My oldest memory of Jo still brings a warm smile to my face. She sat gracefully in front of the small group of women, who didn't want to break for the summer like the rest of the women's Bible study group had. She read with passion from her prayer journal. I closed my eyes and smiled, privileged to hear the prayers from Jo's heart to her Abba. (Jo loves to call God by that endearing name, best translated as Daddy.) This sweet memory, which is now more than 10 years old, was renewed when I read Soar Unafraid. In fact, reading the vulnerable prayers Jo recorded over the years was my favorite part of Soar Unafraid. No one can conjure up a relationship with God like that. It's built over years and years of intimacy and dependency. You and I are invited to develop that same deep relationship with God, simply by reading Jo's precious prayers. Even if you don't have MS, have never been through a divorce, and haven't suffered through childhood abuse, Jo's amazing story will touch the secret places of your heart. Read Soar Unafraid. You will fall in love with Jo and her precious Abba.

I picked up this book, planning to read a few pages before I went to sleep. Two hours later, I had to make myself put it down! What a testimony to God's love, grace, and mercy. On every page, Jo reminds us that regardless of where life takes us, God has a specific plan for us. I just pray I'll be as faithful as she has been when the hard times come.

Jo has written a book that will encourage you not to be a casuality in this world. You will find encouragement because Jo is real, her struggles are real and her God is real. With compassion, honesty and forgiveness Jo tells her story.

This book comes highly recommended in Jo sharing her testamony of serious illness, injury, abuse, rejection, marriage problems...so many of the worst of things that can happen to us. It is inspiring and breathes hope into each issue as she turns to God and finds all that she needs in His ever-present grace and love. It is an incredible thing to see where people can go...soaring!!...in this kind of pain. It will give you much help and encouragement on whatever may be in your present or past. Please read this book!!

I will keep it sweet nd short-YOU WILL LOVE THE BOOK. There is a requirement-You have to have a open mind and understand Wolf Moondance is real. REAL spiritual and Creative. She has gifted us with words from her family, not a natin or a fad or an movememt, from her heart and from her vision! GOOD WORK. I love Wolf Medicine also! Carry Strong Heart

I have always been looking. Spirit Medicine and the whole works of Wolf Moondance helped me home! I know my spirit and it is a great joy. You will like this book if you want to change your lif and apply good native teaching of NOW, it is not bill it is meat and truth! Oloe

I just recieved Wolf Moondance's books for my birthday. I want to say that I have NOT been disappointed by Rainbow Medicine and Spirit Medicine. After finishing both I was left with a sense of a deeper understanding for Wolf Moondance's vision. I also visited her web site. I have to say that there are differing concepts in her book and website, but I understand how this vision could be complicated and have more parts than what was in the book. Fortunately, both the book and the website make perfect sense and left me with a feeling of hope and understanding for my future. If you find things in the book that you don't understand, try going to the website and writing Wolf Moondance for clarification. This author's books are rich, and probably contain only a portion of the whole teaching. What you will find in her books is pure magical writing from a personal vision. Maybe if you are looking to "fix" your problems and haven't already addressed your issues you will miss the true meaning of the words in the book. Lots of people are angry and are looking for a way for someone or something to fix their problems. I am sorry for the last person that wrote a review on this book. The person sounds angry and confused. Wolf Moondance's books are not confusing or disappointing. They are a tool, one of many that you should use on your quest for a happy life. Don't let angry people influence you on buying the books. Take it from me, they are rewarding and consistently great.

I have read it and done the exersizes in the book and you feel worked over first and then you work on it and the doors staryt to open and the spirit changes and you grow. I know from reading all the books wolf has written that you will grow when you study Spirit Medicine. You have to know and want to know your spirit to find your spirit. No witch craft her. It is clear and clean that Wolf Moondance works from her vision, which is Native American. I know cause I am Native-Blackfoot. Thanks Wolf Like the work. Ronda Hunting Bear- Montana.

I think as we humans look we are also full of fear. We always listen to each other and not the true spirit. I have learned from my full blood granny that we have to listen to our spirit and not people. As an author Wolf Moondance shows she listens to the spirit. We as humans want some one to show us the way and give us the answers. We have to be open to your spirit and hear the voice of our vision. In the spirit Medicine book I had to work to get passed my human ways but after reading one chapter I relized I had found a true teacher. I could not get away with my old ways but was open to the spirit. YOU will love it after you get to the real spirit self, Great Book...Grand Teacher!

An inspiring read which has the potential to change your life providing you actively apply the principles.

Written by international speaker and spiritual counselor Caroline Reynolds, Spiritual Fitness: How to Live in Truth and Trust offers a simple, seven week procedure for fostering purpose and sacredness in one's everyday life. Chapters cover how to detox one's soul, learn to meditate, seek one's role in life, and embrace the sacred aspect of relationships. Written in plain terms to be accessible to lay readers, Spiritual Fitness is a welcome repository of good counsel for emotional and spiritual health. "Soul level forgiveness is not about condoning or absolving someone's outrageous behavior. It means escaping from the painful zone of dealing with them only on an earthly, fear-based and limiting level. To forgive truly you must lift up your thinking to a soul level. Somehow you can find a present-day gift in this memory."

This book is definitely an "In Your Face" program. Each chapter presents full frontal examination of your Spirituality.

Unless you do the exercises at the end of each chapter, you are missing the full benefit of the book.

I highly recommend you use this book in a class or at least working with one other person to discuss what comes up for you.

I'll admit that I bought this to do research, to see what else was out there on the market that's in the genre we publish. What I discovered was a great book, written in an easy style, with practical exercises (I'll echo another reviewer here: DO the exercises. Really.). What I found especially thought provoking was early in the book when Reynolds talks about the "payoffs" for not getting what you say you want. Given that her discussion about that starts on page 11, it was a lot like "you had me at hello" and I dove into the rest of the book with a new outlook. Definitely a good read, and definitely do the exercises!

When I began this book, my expectations were that I'd pick up a few tips and practices that might help on the distraction-packed road toward more mindful living. I was totally surprised, however, both by the book's depth and the eloquence with which Reynolds writes.

Each chapter takes a down-to-earth look at a spiritual principle, then further grounds it in simple but powerful exercises that I actually found myself wanting to do. Most importantly, I wanted to do them again.

It's organized as a week-to-week program, and I went through it that way rather quickly and have found myself returning to particularly challenging areas again and again. Luckily, the book not only invites rereading, but rewards it -- many of the exercises that didn't resonate for me (and thus I skipped the first time through) were actually quite powerful the second (or, okay, third... fourth) time around.

There are plenty of books about spirituality out there, and sometimes it's easier to just move on to the next one hoping "it" will change your life. Reynolds clearly recognizes that change is your choice, not some formula, and she gives you powerful tools to recognize your blocks and finally get past them.

When I discovered Louis Savary's The Divine Milieu Explained, I found a kindred spirit, moved deeply by the spirituality of Teilhard de Chardin. I have been reading, and re-reading my dog-eared copy of The Divine Milieu for more than 30 years now, yet this book has led me to many treasures that I had overlooked.

A key illumination for me was the chapter on the Divinization of Our Passivities -- a subject which, frankly, I find Savary's insight into this topic comforting personally, and enriching creatively.

Savary's Spiritual Practices, I believe, are a major breakthrough in making Chardin's spirituality relevant to our everyday lives. I feel that newcomers to The Divine Milieu, as well as veterans like myself, will find them helpful in living Chardin's spiritual insights.

Louis Savary's writing style is refreshingly direct, relevant, and unencumbered by the obscurities into which so many other writers about Teilhard have fallen. He has a great gift for communicating, and shares than gift well.

Teilhard de Chardin left us a brilliant, viable spirituality for the 21st century. Unfortunately, he didn't leave it in a manner most of us could understand. After 15 readings of The Divine Milieu, I find vast portions of it still unclear. Dr. Savary's book is truly a Godsend. After an initial reading, I finally had an overview of The Divine Milieu, all presented in language I could grasp easily. Re-readings will bring further clarity, and the spiritual exercises will assist in truly integrating Teilhard's vision in my life. In the future, I trust that Dr. Savary's commentary and Teilhard's treatise on the interior life will become inseparable. Both should be required reading for 21st century spirituality classes in seminaries, universities, and retreat centers everywhere.

Thank you, Dr. Savary, for the gift of a lifetime! I was introduced to Teilhard while in college over forty years ago. Teachers and students alike knew we had our hands on something very profound but were never able to get beyond "Alpha Point", "Omega Point" and "Cosmic Christ."

In this beautifully written book Louis Savary opens up and explains the world of Teilhard in terms I can understand and apply. This is a prayer book which I will treasure forever. Several of my friends want to form a prayer/study group to work with the exercises. This really is "Spirituality for the 21st Century."

During the 20th century Jesuit priest/scientist Teilhard de Chardin devised an integrative concept of spirituality and science, melding scientific concepts into Christian beliefs. While many books since his time have attempted to explain his ideas, this is a spiritual guide for the everyday, applied use of his ideas - and offers a set of spiritual practices and exercise blending science and faith. From handling dying and death to understanding the underlying meaning of the Cross, THE DIVINE MILIEU EXPLAINED comes packed with insights for daily life.

Thank goodness Louis Savary cared enough to explain Teilhard's spiritualty in terms we can understand. Dr. Savary is a master at finding and using metaphors to make difficult to understand concepts and ideas ckear and meaningful to us. His spiritual exercises, in true Jesuit fashion, make reading this book a life-changing event. Teilhard's Divine Milieu truely speaks to my spirit.I recommend it to anyone searching for an integrative spirituality. In fact, I recommend it even if you're not searching. I learned to see with new eyes.

This book provides practical methods of meditation and focus to help us reach and attune our inner spirit with the Universal Supreme Creator Spirit so we live our lives in harmony and wholeness. This work is presented to help bypass the barriers to the Infinite. If you feel like you are not vitalized by Supreme Spirit and your life is off track, let this book show how you can begin to help yourself be fulfilled in Spirit.

Mr. Ram Varma's BE STILL AND KNOW as a sequel to THIS SPLENDID WORLD OF YOURS is quite an enlightening work of literature and a practical guide for those who seek inner peace through meditation, reflection and the seeking of self. The most distinct feature of this sequel from the author of THIS SPLENDID WORLD OF YOURS is its step by step approach to relaxation, pondering on the issues of life and death and all that falls in between.

The very fact that we have been associated with Mr. Varma's meditation groups for more than five years and have stayed connected with him and the group is in it is a testimony to the value of his contribution in our lives. This connection has brought about quite a revolution in the way we look upon our inter-personal relationship between the two of us and with others. The most important practical lessons that we have absorbed are "Let go" and "stay connected" at all times. Mr. Varma's techniques made us feel connected to the infinite powers of the universe. Because of the practice of meditation to which Mr. Varma has introduced, we feel so conscious of the infinite knowledge and the resources of the universe that we feel that we can tap into this resource in our moment of need.

Ram Varma's book "Be still and know" is a step by step guide for anyone to become still and meditate.It lets you see the connection with the light, with nature.Also not to be involved. This would allow you to experience more freedom, peace and joy. The book has raised my awareness to live in the present moment, to worry less and enjoy the abundance that is given to us daily. Thank you Ram, I think that every person should have this book to have a healthy, joyful life.

The title of this book, "This Splendid World of Yours" captivates the essence of it. I have learned to appreciate the splendor in my world. Some time ago, I yearned for something in my soul. This is my answer to this search. It started with regular attendance at the meditation classes which Ram facilitates at the Victoria School Center. The book sums up clearly the teachings and the meditation techniques. The connection with my Inner Spirit is like having a best friend. The connection manifests itself for me through feeling much more freedom. This, I believe results mostly from having more self-awareness. I can now regularly slip into the "Witness" mode and observe what is happening without getting too cought up in it. Thank you for this , loving guidance.

This is one of the books that has impressed me and Iam keeping it as my guide for self empowerement and also my journey within me. I have dabbed with lot of books on meditation, Ram has just got everything in one goblet & all we need now it drink this nectar and start our journey. His style of writing is very distinct, not much of the high sounding words, but very practical and easy to understand terms and given step by step guidance. Best thing about this book is that it appeals to every one, newcomer to spirituality, & also who has been in the arena trying to absorb all essence. Everything he says as a rationale, not just mere thoughts. Definitely if i can adhere to his teachings i will be find the bliss which all souls are looking for. I must thank Ram for sharing his wealth with us. Iam looking forward for his second book which will be my second step
