I could not put this book down. It is my guideline for every day living and beautifully expressed. If you wish to feel at peace and in harmony with the universe, read "The Tao of Recovery". Jim McGregor expresses what we all carry inside of us but cannot bring to the surface. He does this for us. His words are like a gentle breeze over a rippling stream. After reading his words, I feel light with a sensation of floating. As I digest the words, I feel a lifting of all burdens and a serenity for which I have longed.

This book is a gentle encouragement to set our souls and those we love free. We are free spirits in interaction when one another and can only truly love each other through our separateness. This is a precious book in my life, ever reminding me to live my own life and simply love the people around me. Mature love is a gift, a joy and a freeing experience.

"I Love You Enough to Let You Go" is a lifeboat for those suffering pain from broken relationships or personal crisis.

When I first read "I Love You Enough to Let You Go", I could not put the book down until I finished it. Is it my guideline for my every day living and beautifully expressed. If one wishes to feel at peace and in harmony with the universe, this should be the book of choice. Jim McGregor expresses what we all carry inside of us but cannot bring to the surface. His words are like a gentle breeze over a rippling stream. After reading his words, one feels light with a sensation of floating. As one digests the words, there is a feeling of all the heavy burdens being lifted and a serenity for which everyone longs. I strongly recomment another of Jim McGregor's books which is "The Tao of Recovery".

The author of this small book give solace to those who provide personal support by "taking away" in a needed yet perhaps painful way.

I recently finished Dr. Dale Atkin's 'Sanity Savers' and found it so helpful I had to see what else she had written. First of all I found that Dr. Atkins is a prolific writer, but after happening upon "I'm OK You're My Parents: How To Overcome Guilt, Let Go of Anger, and Create a Relationship That Works," I am convinced she is not only a talented professional but a wise woman who understands that true interpersonal intimacy is not only good for one's mental health but physical heath as well. I, once again as after reading "Sanity Savers," came away with a deep appreciation of the depth of her knowledge about how familial relations actually work including all the love, ambivalence, joy, sorrow, anger and remorse that are contained within them. I lent it to a friend who called me to say the book opened her eyes in the same way it did mine. Thank you Dr. Atkins from both of us.

In the wake of a multitude of books about how our parents have created all of our emotional problems comes this book that points out the fact that blaming someone is not a solution to problems. The focus of the book is to take that next step and find ways that you can move through guilt and anger and create a working relationship with your parents. To this end the book contains lots of examples from Dr. Atkins' actual patient files. It also includes exercises to work through, questionnaires to help you understand yourself and your relationship with your parents, and various lessons to illustrate the principles involved.

The first part of the book focuses on you. It includes an examination of ways to take control of your life so your past doesn't control your present, how to deal with guilt and parents who use it to control you, and anger.

The next part changes focus to your parents. How did they grow up? What did they go through as they were growing up? What was their life like? The focus is on developing empathy so you can use it to develop forgiveness. One of the most important points of the chapter is realizing that your fantasy parent doesn't exist. Not only do they not exist but also those fantasy perfect parents that your friends seemed to have were not perfect either. Two of the coping techniques covered in this chapter include creating reasonable expectations for yourself and your parents and creating appropriate boundaries.

The last section discusses the most common problems when dealing with parents. For example, some of the problems covered include the bait and switch technique, manipulating you with a health crisis, becoming easily offended when you don't share personal details of your life, putting you in the middle of their problems, or using money to manipulate you.

If you have a troubled relationship with your parents and are seeking to change, you should consider picking up a copy of "I'm OK, You're My Parents".

For anyone with parents -- living or passed on -- this book is a must read. It will make you laugh, it will make you cry but
most of all .. it will make understand that you are not alone.
Your issues - good and bad - are not solely yours. Everyone
has parental issues and Dr. Atkins shows us how to live and love
our way through them! Not riddled with psychological mumbo jumbo Dr. Atkins speaks to the heart of the matter. From being
a child with parents to an adult parenting your parents, I'm OK guides you through survival! Beautifully written and the type of book that you refer back to often throughout your daily life.

Despite your adult age, are your parents still driving you crazy? Dr. Atkins' can help! With engaging wit, she shares wisdom mined from years of experience helping people improve their relationships. Dr. Atkins helps us see and claim the power we have to make changes in ourselves that inevitably alter our relationships with parents. Her discussion of family dynamics comes to life through the many stories she shares. Dr. Atkins guides the reader through specific practices that will improve not only one's ability to deal with parents, but other significant relationships as well. If you are serious about improving your relationship with your parents, or with your adult children, this is the book to read.

I predict this book will become one of the classic self-help best sellers, and it should! Dr. Atkins writes from years of expertise in counseling young (and not-so-young) adults who are looking for ways to improve their relationships with their parents. Not "bad, awful, terrible" parents, but mothers and/or fathers who sometimes intrude, impose, ignore, invade, and/or may be insensitive to (or unaware of!) some of the needs, wishes, interests, and/or opinions of their adult children. The book is filled with a wide range of parent - adult child issues that will ring many familiar bells for probably most of us. Dr. Atkins' approach is articulate, optimistic, and practical, and is fun to read. I was sure she was writing about my own parents in several chapters, and I wish I had had access to these ideas years ago, instead of just rolling my eyes, silently mumbling and grumbling, planning visits carefully, censoring how much of my own life I shared with them. And they were actually pretty darn good parents - we just couldn't communicate about a lot of "stuff" from their generation to mine. After reading Dr. Atkins's book, I ordered a copy for my adult daughter! She's reading it now. Gulp!

My 5 yr old has been riveted by this book since he got it at the age of 3.....we have given it as gifts to 4-5yr olds and always got a call or email commenting on how great the book is. The story is imaginative and well written, with interesting details, it is actually educational but mostly fun. The pictures are what take your breath away. It is a great birthday gift for boys and girls!

My 5 year old has so much fun with this book. It is written in a way that makes the child feel as if they are traveling to the moon. It talks about what it would be like. The pictures are my son's favorite part of the book. Highly recommended.

This is a beautiful book that my 3 year old loves, but, despite being appropriate for a 3 year old, it is a pleasure to read to him, because it is full of provocative ideas that adults enjoy. I suspect we will both continue to enjoy it for years to come. It is a great companion to 'On the Moon' by Anna Milbourne and Benji Davies, which is essentially a re-telling of the Apollo mission for kids, whereas this book is a re-imagining of the Apollo mission. It follows an imaginary modern journey to the Moon, where, among other things, the young astronaut finds the flag left by the Apollo astronauts blown over by their blast off, and re-erects it. It ends by comparing the richness of life on Earth, made possible by air and water, to the desolation of the Moon. It is also beautifully illustrated.

This book arrived at our library last week, and I was immediately blown away by it! Faith McNulty and Steven Kellogg have done a great job of showing and telling children what a trip to the moon would really be like.

One thing that is great about this book is the way experiences and things that are familiar to children are used to describe extraordinarily UN-familiar experiences and ideas. The book is written in the second person point of view -- directly addressing the reader. I thought it was brilliant the way McNulty captures what a child's (or anyone's) feelings might be as they hurtle through the dark expanse of space, far away from the comfort of Earth and home. ("Up here in space you may feel very alone. Don't look back at the Earth. It would make you even lonelier.")

Kellogg illustrates a variety of moods, experiences and concepts from eye-catching perspectives. There is whimsy: an astronaut floats weightlessly around inside the capsule amidst a swarm of playing cards, and, later in the book an unexpected herd of hypothetical moon cows makes an appearance! There is quite a lot of loneliness in Kellogg's space: A lone astronaut hops around and explores the strange, barren, black and grey moonscape for several pages. In a compelling two-page spread, Kellogg depicts a lone astronaut, standing on the Moon under a lonely black sky -- the scene is printed with the darkest jet black ink I have EVER seen printed in any picture book. At the end of the journey, the astronaut returns to an exuberant fold out frieze of Earth's magnificently varied biodiversity, under a shining sun and clear sky with children swimming in fresh, clear water -- the essential element that makes our planet habitable. I was especially pleased to see this book, since another excellent children's book about the Moon, E.C. and Robin Krupp's book, The Moon and You, is not readily available anymore. I highly recommend this book for any elementary school library, or for the book collections of Kindergarteners to second graders. I also would not be surprised if it wins some children's book awards in the months to come.

If you have a child like mine who loves scientific minutia then this is the book for you. It is technical and not appropriate for younger preschoolers.

I have read every diet book ever printed (almost) and have tried most weight loss methods a time or two (at least) and this is the first time anyone has cut through the diet mumbo jumbo and used a down to earth, real life approach. I LOVED this book because it is easy to read, understand, and follow. Ken, thanks for sharing your story!

Finally. A book that cuts through the unrealistic claims of diets and exercise programs. Ken and Tracy are right. There are no magic formulas to losing weight. This book gave me common sense options that I can follow and make a part of my life.

may 1st.,2000 Ihad a scare with death. I thought I had a heart attack. Luckily I didn't. But I was 60 pounds overweight ,cholesterol was 245 and all other blood work was out of whack. I was 49 years old and i had a wife a 9 year old son and a five year old grandson.Knowing the authers and that they were writing this book ,I asked for help. One year later, I now weigh 200 pounds my cholesteral is down to 170. and I can do two miles every day and don,t even blink. When the book came out I snatched it up and read it in one night .WHAT I FOUND OUT WAS EVERYTHING THEY TOLD ME TO DO,WAS RIGHT IN THIS BOOK.THE FIRST PART OF THE BOOK IS TRUE. YOU HAVE TO WANT TO DO THIS AND YOU NEED SOMEONE TO GIVE YOU THE SUPPORT YOU NEED.IF IT WAS NOT FOR THE PHILOSOPHY AND SOLUTIONS IN THIS BOOK I KNOW I WOULD BE PUSHING UP ROSES. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP AND ALSO FOR MY FAMILY FOR BELIEVING I COULD DO IT. DON'T PASS THIS ONE UP.

This book has contributed in a BIG way to saving my soul. These author's are bringing us back to some simple and obvious solutions to not only losing weight, but to losing sight of the expectations that society puts on us (and sometimes we put on ourselves). Ken and Tracy are the role models we all need because they teach us better than any diet plan ever could, WHERE to start. Getting and staying healthy can only start from within. This book will help you get healthy, lose weight and keep it off because it's techniques are easy to use. How bad do you want it? This book is a must read if you feel like you are on the diet roller-coaster like I was! Because of this book I have lost 27 lbs in 11 weeks, and I am definitely NOT on a diet! Just a lot wiser, and I have Ken and Tracy to thank for it!!

The book was very interesting from the perspective of dispelling the popular belief of dieting being the only way to lose weight. The most compelling part of this book was focusing on a very easy to understand formula, of NOT losing weight but how to keep it off. Most diet books I have read focus on a certain kind of eating plan that excludes foods most people enjoy eating. It is because of this you can't stay on the diet and receive long term benefits. This book is very educational on how to create a new and more enjoyable lifestyle for yourself while not giving up the pleasures of life. I have seen benefits from this in a very short period of time on the program. It is defintely something easy to understand and more importantly easy to follow. I travel every week and it is very easy for me to eat bad because of my schedule and being on the road. This lifestyle change allows for me to make sure I am eating the right foods without starving myself. This book "common senses" you to death on how to stay healthy. It is like being hit over the head with a velvet sledge hammer. There are no secret formulas or fad diets that will change your life long term. They are set up to give you a short term benefit quickly and like any other fad fade away over time. I would highly recommend this book and program to anyone who is interested in making a long term commitment to change their life.

Growing up in my small hometown of Sobeiski, I have shared many great memories with those that I love. I became attached to many people that have comforted me over the years. I felt as if I was welcomed anywhere. Oh The Places You'll Go brought back many emotional memories from my childhood. Oh The Places You'll Go, is filled with beautiful illustrations full of feelings and expressions. The main theme of the book was to persuade children towards the right direction in life everywhere they go. Oh the Places you'll go is a miraculously hilarious book. It is very different from other Dr. Seuss books because it has a wider variety of word choice, and contrast between ideas.

Very cute. It makes a very nice combo with the book for graduations.

Do you have shoes on your feet and brains in your head? Then maybe you can go places like the little boy in the book Oh the Places You'll Go!, by Dr. Seuss. This book takes a little boy through good and bad places till he finds what he's looking for. This book has fabulous pictures that pop out in the story when you read it! They describe the characters moods also! When the character is happy then the pictures are colorful and bright colors. However, when the character is sad or mad the pictures are gloomy and dull colors. When I first read this book I thought about how it related to my life. Well my parents always told me that I could go great places if I have a good education! If you read this book I bet it could bring back some memories from the paste to! This book also relates to real life and has a great message in it! But don't sit her and give the whole thing away, READ IT!

I've been journaling for years and this is one of the finest ones I have used. I may never buy from an alternate press again! The pages are lined on both sides, which I enjoy. The binding is not spiral, something I normally prefer, however the spine is strong and I have had no problem with loose leaves. The cover is made from a durable board, it does not look any worse for the wear I have put it through in the 6 months I've used it. I've also found that the paper used is very strong. If I use a felt tip pen or something else with a lot of ink the paper does not allow it to bleed through! I'm very pleased with this journal. It also has a nice name plate on the inside front page. I highly reccodmend it, along with other journals from peaceable kingdom press.

a great tape that fully explains the meaning of letting go and letting God into your life, through short messages. It's great to listen to one each day.

I highly recommend this tape for those who need their spirits lifted.

I intend to purchase the book as a replacement for my husband. When I first met him he would read the book everyday!! I picked it up a couple of times to read and found it amazing and most uplifting. I noticed my husband utilizing the information towards the relationships he encountered, and people would respond in a positive manner regardless of the situation. Let Go, Let God is a must have resource on the road to Christian rebirth and living.

Here you have a person who in his life has been a living example of a positive philosophy, reading in his usual enthusiastic, warm, loving manner messages from one of the foremost devotional guides around. Each of these messages follow the same basic theme of Letting Go and Letting God, an attitude which enables us to face life's challenges. I listen to one message a day, but one can easily lay back and digest the entire group of 30 messages at one time. This tape is a valuable tool for strengthening one's connection to God.

The message of surrender and get out of your own way, just Let Go, Let God as described by Wally Amos (world famous Amos Choc-chip cookies) is an uplifting tape and worth the listening. Letting go of your expections helps you let go of wanting to control a situation. You'll reap the rewards of peace of mind, heart, and soul. Let Go, Let God will help you receive powerful positive results and guide you to happiness, success, and serenity.

We just really like these books. The pictures are great and so are the storylines. Our daughter listens fascinated and I plan to buy more titles in the future. They are funny cute books, definitely worth buying.

First we read Froggy Goes to the Doctor, then this one. We are now in love with Jonathan London's frog family and his main man, Froggy. Lots of needed repetition as Froggy prepares for a picnic with Dad. We are now searching for more Froggy books, and my daughter and I recommend you and your little one do the same! Keep on reading!

My children love this book, the sound effects part of the book keep them laughing from beginning to end. A great introduction to the Froggy series. I would recommend this book for children aged about 4-7.

This book has become my 2 and 4 year olds favorite story. They love to see froggy looking for his misplaced items and it has taught them to look for their own items when they are lost.

Froggy wakes up full of enthusiasm for a day's bike ride and picnic with his dad, but his disorganization keeps them at home until the end of the day. In between, Froggy looks around for assorted biking/picnic items (e.g., a ball, a helmet), slamming and bonking around, and finding them in the most unusual places (what ARE those peaches doing in his bed?!). Each time the two are ready to leave another forgotten item must be found:

"Frrrooggyy!" called his father. "I'm re-e-a-d-y!" yelled Froggy... "But Froggy...you need your bicycle helmet!" "I don't know where it is!..." "It's wherever you left it!" "I forget!" "You have to LOOK for it!" This little routine will sound familiar both to children and those who raise them! There's a happy denouement as both Froggy and his dad finally set out (after deciding they're both so hungry they'd better eat the picnic first-at home!).

Bright, uncluttered pictures, 27 pages, lots of word repetition and cool sound effects make this a treat to listen to and read. A toddler who loved the listening to this book will enjoy returning to it as an older reader (perhaps around grade 2-3).

This book is absolutely essential for people to read. It should be a text book in every school, a MUST READ for every person before they graduate high school and a MUST READ for every teacher before she enters a classroom. And for the general public it should be in every drugstore and supermarket so people have a guidebook when they try to deal with the facts of life.

Nancy, God bless you! You have done unimanigable GOOD for people. You don't realize that you are a VERY VERY IMPORTANT person to so many people. You have helped and changed their lives with your wonderful book. Thank you for all you have done for my people and myself. Teresita Tinajero, Director Instito de Tanatology, Mexico City D. F. Mexico,

Soon after my wife died, at the young age of 31, my sister-in-law gave me this audio cassette. She said a friend recommended it to her. What a comfort it was listening to Dr. O'Connor's voice. She spoke directly to me in my grieving process; it was so helpful to understand the different stages after 1 month, 6 months, etc. I passed the tape along to family to help them understand. My wife died 9 years ago. I know the wisdom of Dr. O'Connor helped me move forward in my life (with therapy also), going through, not around, the grieving process.

Your book has been abosulely inspirational, comforting and helpful as I deal with the loss of my best friend, partner, lover and wife of 30 years, Pat. Pat left us after a year battle with colan cancer. I came across your book at a local support group. I am certain that your book has helped and affected so many lives. Thank you for what you do!

In 1992 my husband passed away after a 9 month battle with cancer. The local Hospice gave me "Letting Go With Love". I read and re-read and carried the book everywhere with me to help me through some very bad times. Over the past 10 years I have given 21 of the books away (including my own original) and I beleive every person that looses someone close to them should be given this book as it may help get through the grieving process. Another person does not understand know until they have to go experience it. Many of the people that I have given the book to have said the same thing, how much it helped them. I continue buying this book to give to friends who have lost a loved ones.

The littles go exploring is a story about when a family of
very small people called the littles
and there adventres.
The names are Tom Lucy baby Betsy, and Granny, Uncl;e Pete and Uncle Nick.
The Littles were tiny people with tails. They lived secretly inside the walls of the house owned by George W. Big and his family. No big people had ever seen a Little or any other tiny families that lived in th houses in the big valley. They kept in touch by letters that were delivered by cousin Dinky and wife Della in his glider.
I thout thils story was cool because we got to go exploring. I would recommend this story to a friend. I look forward to reading other books in the series.

The book is about littles or little people. They live in the Biggs wall. Their grandpa disappeared.They are trying to find him. They found a little room. Do you think that grandpa was in the little room? Read the book and find out! I like the part were they find the room. I do not like the part were they go down the chimeney.

The Littlies go Exploring was so exciting. The Littlies are a family of small people. The interesting part of this family is that they have tails! In this story the characters are Mrs. Little, Mr. Little, two uncles, a sister, a bother, and a young baby sister. The family goes on many adventures in the book. There was one main adventure but all I'm going to write is that they are looking for someone in the family that went missing a long time ago. I would recommend this book to anyone that loves adventures and exciting settings.

Once I saw this book ¡¥The Littles Go Exploring¡¦,
written by John Peterson,the natural colour and the beautiful picture of the cover attract me to choose this book.
The story was said about some tiny people who went exploring to find an old man called Grandpa Little.He was a smart man who was the first little to understand electricity and had made the trip to explore the place,but unfortunately he is unsuccessful and lost his way.
After I read it,I think the most interesting part was the part about the Littles family found Grandpa Little.they tries to solve all theproblems when they went exploring.
I think the main character Tom and Lucy were the cleverest and bravest children in the family.They told their parents immediately when they discovered the secret room and they discuss with them.It shows that they were cooperative with the family members.Also,when UncleNick said that he needed two volunteers to go along,Tom answered that he could go very quickly.he didn¡¦t mind to lose his life tio find Grandpa Little.And Lucy,she was curious about everything and had her own decisions.Although she was very little,she provided a lot of opinions about the plan to find Grandpa Little.It shows that she was a wise girl and did all the things sensibly.
I really enjoy this book because of two reasons.First of all,I think the story is very interesting,it made me easily to put in it.Also,it is very meaningful,because it can tell us a lot of things about our life.I hope I can make myself clever,brave,confidentand mature like Tom and Lucy.I think this book is suitable for everyone,so I think you shouldn¡¦t miss it!

I think this is a good book because it keeps you interested. This is probably the best book I ever read. Let me tell you what the book is about. The story is about old Grandpa Little who everyone thinks is dead except Granny Little until Tom and Lucy find a secret room with Grandpa Little's journal. And then the Littles go exploing to find out that Grandpa Little is not dead. This is a good book for any age and so are all The Littles books. If I could give this book more than 5 stars I would.

My wife and I just read this book to our five-year-old who loves farm animals, and all three of us were laughing out loud. My wife and I agree that this is our favorite children's book of all time, slightly better than Jan Brett's "The Mitten."

I purchased this book for my library and read it regularly during my storytimes to pre-schoolers. I have also read it to the kids during the Summer Fun program. The story lends itself very well to reading aloud and is a very entertaining book for all ages. I enjoy it so much, I've decided to buy a personal copy.

My children love this book. We have checked it out from the library so many times I figured I might as well buy it. The cows are so loveable and the story even appeals to adults.

I bought Minnie & Moo go to the Moon for my 4-year old daughter. While reading it to her, I laughed so hard I could hardly continue the book. It's a great story for children and adults alike. I liked it so much I went back and bought 5 more copies to send to family & friends to read. My office mates even bought copies for themselves. A wonderful hilarious story.

This uproariously funny book had every one --adults included -- laughing throughout. Minnie, always the logician, decides that all she needs to drive the farmer's tracker are his boots and hat. A skeptical Moo joins her for a tumultuous ride through the farm yard, passed a flying pig to...the moon? We loved the magic words the cows used to get the tracker started. The moonsters looked suspiciously like angry, featherless chickens.
