John Ortberg is my Pastor...he is insightful, deep with a great sense of humor when presenting God's messsage to us.

"Love Beyond Reason" falls in line with how I've come to understand Jesus.

I would give it 10 Stars if it were an option.

I have been struggling with letting go of a loved one who is in the throws of alcoholism.
With the help of this writing, I have been brought deeper into my own healing as well as grown in faith & trust.
When we come to Jesus in answering His call to repentance, he accepts us the way we are, but loves us so completely that he won't let us remain that way!

I have read two other of John's books so far.
"If You Want to Walk on Water, You Have to Get Out of the Boat"
"The Life You've Always Wanted"
Each are equally insightful and encouraging!

I plan on making this a staple in my personal library and will give this book as a gift whenever possible.

Many thanks to you, John, for your faithfulness to the Lord and sharing your gift.

God Bless You!

Great book, a MUST read if you're trying to discover more of how much God loves you. This book explains an in depth explanation of God's love for you. Brilliant book.

This is a wonderful book that really depicts God's love for every individual. A must read by John Ortberg!

This book is amazing. I've read it slowly because I want to savor every word. I've been a Christian for a long time and usually I don't like sugar-coated Christianity, but the way this book talks about God's love really humbled me and made me realize the vastness of God's grace. This book discusses God's tremendous unconditional love and encourages us to have that same kind of love for others. One thing Ortberg said that stood out is, as I grow closer to God, am I becoming more approachable (more loving) or less approachable (legalistic and judgemental)? Really made me think about how gracious I am (or not) toward others. I've recommended this book to all my friends.

After having read several of Ortberg's books, I would have to say this is the one that really touched me.

John's gift for storytelling is simply wonderful. He starts the book by discussing our raggedness - but that is hardly the end of the story. He goes on to tell us how the greatness of God heals and redeems us - again and again. He uses biblical depictions that are rich in detail and apply to our lives today.

My favorite chapters were "The Lord of the Second Chance" and "The Roundabout Way."

In "The Lord of the Second Chance," Ortberg gives a detailed account of Peter's great failure and how Jesus restored him. It is a very touching depiction, rich in detail and emotionality.

In "The Roundabout Way," he explains that God is not as concerned with the journey as he is "who" we will be when we arrive at our destination. He discusses the possible reasons for the roundabout way, suffering and how this journey can bring us into a closer relationship with God. From my own experience in the "roundabout way," I can honestly say that I see things much more clearly now.

Another chapter that I found very provoking was the chapter on Grace and how even we, as Christians, sometimes forget that we need to extend grace to others as freely as God has extended it to us.

I have read this book over and over and plan to give it as a gift to several of my friends and family. I highly recommend it!!!

I demarcate (thank goodness that's not a story (-:)) reading Eckhart Tolle's "The Power of Now" The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment as a significant event in my awareness of consciousness. Reading Moss's "Mandala of Being "The Mandala of Being: Discovering the Power of Awareness I sense as similarly significant. I find myself struggling not to get into a fruitless intellectual (read ego) exercise of trying to contrast and compare Tolle and Moss and instead see it as one more refrain of "one teaching; many teachers," and smile and enter the Now. Tolle speaks of an infinite number of portals to the Now available in each moment if we will but allow them. Moss's "The Mandala of Being" is such a portal for me and I invite you to taste and see for yourself.

This book not only talks about living in Awareness, but also gives an actual tool that we can use in our most ordinary days. A tool that makes sense. Dr. Moss writes in plain English about practice, action and becoming more enlightened.
This book speaks to the Universal Consciousness that lives in each of us.
It allows us to see ourselves as who we think we are, and to shed those stories to become more present in who we truly are.
A very wonderful, personal, and extraordinary book. I wish everyone on the planet would read it! I went back and bought over 10 more copies to give as gifts. I feel it is that important of a book.

Spend just a single day being completely aware of where your thoughts lead you. How often does your mind wander? How much time do you find yourself recalling or analyzing things that happened in your past? How much time do you spend worrying about what might happen in the future? What stories do you make up about yourself in your wanderings? Are you self-sacrificing, underappreciated, and undervalued? Are you hardworking and eagerly climbing the ladder of success? Are you bitter that everyone else seems to catch a break but you get nothing?

Anyone who has ever tried this exercise knows that the majority of our time is spent anywhere but at the present moment. We fixate on the past, we fantasize about the future, we create self serving stories in our minds, and we judge others. Very little of our time is actually fully focused on what we are doing and feeling in this exact moment. So in essense, we rarely focus on the here and now, on the moment.

The Mandala of Being guides the reader to a better understanding of this very human process explaining that these seemingly harmless distractions actually color the way we see ourselves. Basically, all of these stories do two things. They either feed our ego so that we feel that we are somebody special (hiding the underlying feeling that we are not enough as we are) or we opening berate ourselves. The end result in both cases is the same, it reinforces the notion that somehow we have to be, act, or have something specific in order to be valuable human beings.

The simple solution is to have our thoughts stay in the here and now, to see events for what they really are, and to get in touch with our true selves. This may be easy to say but it is extremely hard to do. The Mandala of Being teaches us how to make a start in this attempt and how to counteract some of the major obstacles on this path.

Dr. Moss brings awareness to all of us. In these chaotic times, I respect him greatly for speaking to the "fear factor" that has been created in our culture. He gives structure to consciously choose to become more "awake" in our own life. If we want a better world, we can not live in fear. I challenge readers to become informed.

If you are interested in living more completely in the now then this book is for you. Richard Moss, MD shows us why and how we habitually obstruct our innate potential for what Richard calls radical aliveness as said by Deepak Chopra.

If you want to take a close look at yourself then this book is for you. How simple and direct Dr. Moss is.

Happy Reading

This should be in the homes of every Baptist family, as it already is in most Amish families. As the book itself explains, it is a history of fifteen centuries of the suffering of the Baptist people and their martyrdom at the hands of the catholic church. A list of popes up to the time it was written is included in the back. It proves that Baptists existed long before Martin Luther, and were martyred for such sins as reading the Bible and Baptizing adults after they were saved. It is impossible to deny these facts because this book documented these horrors and was written hundreds of years ago, before political correctness came into being, using the records of governments most of which have since been destroyed. The names of hundreds of individual Baptist people are recorded along with descriptions of the accusations against them, their tortures and death. It is detailed, and too graphic for children.

The story of the Anabaptists is one of incredible pain and spiritual triumph. This impressive work was written in the seventeenth century and recounts the stories of many men and women who suffered and often faced terrible death for what they thought was right. Apart from individuals stories, the book contains many emotionally touching letters written by martyrs to their families and friends. The book also describes the sufferings of some of the early Christians and the later Waldensians.
The legacy of the Anabaptists lives on in the Amish and Mennonites. In fact, an article about Amish forgiveness in the aftermath of the recent tragic school shooting was one of the things that brought this book to my attention. Personally, I feel Christians of any denomination could take something useful from this book.
Overall, "Martyr's Mirror" is an extremely powerful and moving book.

A part of my family research - but brings the sadness, the strength and the Christian conviction to a very harsh reality. Something all of us from those roots need to read.

This is an excellent work and a great accompaniment to Foxes' Book of Martyrs. It is an enormous volume with much information I have not seen before.
I highly recommend it as an addition to every Christian's library, and to anyone studying the subject of martyrdom.

This is a must own book for those interested in Christian heritage. This puts Foxe's Book of Martyrs to shame. It is well worth the money you will spend on it.

I WASN'T SURE WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN I ORDERED THIS BOOK, BUT I'M HAPPY I PURCHASED IT. IT HAS A GREAT DEAL OF INFORMATION THAT I AM ABSORBING AS I GO ALONG. IT TAKES ME A LOT OF REFLECTION TO ABSORB WHAT IS BEING SAID, ALTHOUGH IT IS NOT A DIFFICULT OR EASY "READ". THIS IS NOT A READ-IT-ALL-AT ONCE BOOK...IF YOU ARE WILLING TO ENTERTAIN AND PERHAPS ACCEPT THE INFORMATION BEING PRESENTED, IT IS AN INTERESTING AND WELL WRITTEN BOOK.

Accept that these ideas may not agree with your present beliefs. Explore ideas that preceded Christianity and Islam by millenia. One of the problems many encounter with such publications is that they are written by people who think differently and do not always clarify their differing mental concepts that do not coincide withwestern beliefs.
This book discusses the concept that the mind is indestructible, cycling through the 6 important bardos transition phases of prebirth, birth, living, death transition, and return. This is not a "religion" in that there is no God to bargain with: one is responsible for one's own life circumstances through one's own conduct over several lives, following the principle of the golden rule.
That being said, the author has an outstanding mastery of style and clarity of thought, except in sectiions where jargon words break up the idea flow, like rapids in a smooth stream. You may master this hurdle or choose to abandon the book, disappointed.

This book called to me, as did a book discussion group at Nalanda West in Seattle. The result of both is profound gratitude. Relatively new to Buddhist studies, I wasn't sure I was ready for these apparently advanced teachings on working with the mind after death. It does seem that nothing has been withheld here, and yet the book doesn't overwhelm. The kind humor of the Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche pulls me along gently, so that even advanced practices are approachable. Gentle teacher, great wisdom. What more could one ask?

Death is something we need to know about since we will all be meeting it face to face. Just clinching our teeth and hoping for the best is not a reasonable strategy. Ponlop Rinpoche lays out one that is, with precision and in detail. This book contains amazingly profound teachings for living and dying, and does it in a tone that is both light and serious.

Reading this book is a must!

As I've grown older I have truly relished the eruption of Tibetan wisdom literature and commentaries "coming online", as it were. Having cut my teeth on D.T. Zusuki and Herbert Guenther, the appearance of Thurman, Garfield, and now Ponlop Ripoche has further deepened and matured my appreciation of the compassion that comes out of life to help us. Ripoche's work is, for me, a true mile/gem/stone. It is a truly reflective work that I can only compare, in my own meditative experience, to reading St. Agustine's Confession. There is genius in the economy of words, only outshined by their precision and communicative power. I have been graced with such great teachers who awakened and deepened my "reflective ear". As I read Ripoche's work each word, phrase and paragraph echos with insight inspiring power, congealing long threads of thought both Western and Eastern. I do apologize if this review seems like a fawning paean. What I wishing to convey is the deep meaning that is redolent within this work, and the opportunity for you, also, to take a plunge (if you already haven't). It is truly a unique work of great power and relevance. It is the best work to emerge, to date, for our Western lebenswelt that deals with the experience of death and beyond -- and by that our life, right now.

This book is a great example of rational thinking. The way Paley states his argument is flawless, and he uses all the resources available by his time. His arguments, of course, are no longer useful to creationists, this book was written way before Darwin and Wallace structure their theory, but at his time this was a must read. Even Darwin and Wallace read the book lots of years later, when they were students, and this book imprint (at least as I'm concern) a great prejudice Darwin had to surpass to establish his theory. It is so well written, and, again, so well founded, that dismiss it was quite a task. Recently Dawkins wrote a book "The blind Watchmaker" that was inspired by Paley's "Natural Theology", and solidly refutes his arguments (irrefutable in Paley's time, since no scientific evidence or theory had been powerfully establish as to do so). This is a classic book, it is incredibly interesting from a lot of different perspectives, I highly recommend it.

William Paley's "Natural Theology" was written over two hundred years ago. But it is by no means an historical curiosity, for two reasons. The first is that no author, before or since, ever presented the Argument from Design in a fuller, clearer, or more persuasive form. The prose is elegant, the examples and arguments well crafted, the conclusions precisely stated, and all without either the pious condescension or angry threats typical of much religious apologetics. Paley engages the reader with his sympathetic tone, startling analogies, and shining sincerity. The second reason is that this is one of the most influential books ever written. Every subsequent writer on the Theory of Evolution, from Charles Darwin to Richard Dawkins, stands consciously in the shadow of this masterpiece. Read it yourselves, and find out why.

This book and CD are very well done; obviously the author had a real vision for its need and put a lot of love into its creation. As someone who has witnessed the "drift" and "disconnect" that many Latino kids feel when they are in white America, I am excited about this positive cultural connection with their countries of origin. I actually spoke with the author by phone and she is very much involved in educating schoolchildren (of any culture) about Latinamerican Christmas Traditions.

A word about the CD: it actually plays every song TWICE; the second time through, each song is sung in a certain "style", assigned to a country. For example: Marimba style, Guatemala. The result is a richly varigated CD with many different musical instruments used and different moods touched-- you don't start to think "all these songs sound alike because the same people are performing them!"-- not at all.

I hope to see more books/ projects by Charito Calvachi Wakefield in the future!

My mom and I enjoyed reading this book together because the presentation and cover are wonderful and reading about the culture reminded my mom of home. This book captured the real spirit of Christmas.

Es un libro excelente que revive toda la mística navideña de revaloración del espiritu religioso, del amor familiar y de los valores humanistas que todavía de valoran como esenciales en la gente latinoamericana. Muy buena presentación.

Charito Calvacci Wakefield's "Navidad Latino Americana" is a lush compendium of celebration and community. The descriptive thread of food, fellowship and tradition that binds young and old, rich and poor on this most revered of all holidays is accompanied by a CD of Christmas songs. This is the kind of book that becomes part of a family's library, to be taken down each year, appreciated and cherished.

Pasa el tiempo, de generación en generación, vamos cambiando, adoptando nuevas costumbres, olvidamos algunas. En Navidad Latinoamericana encontramos aquellas 'joyas' que relacionamos muchas veces con nuestro pasado, un pasado feliz, inocente, en familia, con la calidez de aquella época navideña, tan llena de misterio, de espectativa y de amor. Un hermoso regalo para aquellos a quienes apreciamos....una ilusión, una fantasía y alegría hechas imagen y sonido.

What can I say? Max Lucado is a gifted writer who takes spiritual concepts and puts them into understandable and easy-to-grasp stories illustrations.

Max Lucado is a premier story teller. The message that Christ knows how we humans feel and that he is close enough to call on whenever we need him is uplifting and comforting.

i haven't read max lucado books in awhile and I have read quite some of them. I have to say that this is one of his best written. The chapters are short but they are meaningful, each one of them that applies to different people.

This a great book. I love the way Max writes. It's very unique and refreshing. He really brings the stories to life.

This is my first Max Lucado book and I loved it! It took me a while to read it because I don't read that often but something made me keep coming back to try and finish it. He made everything so simple and easy to understand. The real life examples were great! I would recommend it to anyone!

This is one of my all time favorite picture books for all ages. Peter Spiers beautiful illustrations need no words to tell this story. The possibilities for interacting with a child are endless as you wander through the familiar and find the surprising! My granddaughter is 2 years old and loves animals. What could be a better birthday gift?

The happy and humorous tone of this book will make it appealing to any child, whatever the family's religion.

The only text is at the beginning and it is a charming translation of a poem that summarizes the story of Noah. The poem is delightful in and of itself- Spier did a great job of translating.

The illustrations are then left without text, which is very refreshing, since there are so few picture books nowadays. I enjoy leisurely paging through this book with my young daughter, talking about the pictures in and of themselves, as pieces of art and as pictures that tell a story. I feel that the pressure is off in terms of trying to finish a sentence or a story when there is no text there.

In addition, this book is appropriate for Muslim families as well, since the illustrations (and beginning poem) are sufficiently vague as to accommodate for the small differences in the telling of the story in the Qu'ran and the Bible.

My first Peter Spier book. Not saccharine, wonderful details (including Noah mucking out the ark). Great to have a child read to YOU.

This is an excellent picture book - my three year old really loves it. My only "complaint" is that it takes a long time to go through all the pictures and talk about each one making it less than ideal right before bed unless you want to spend 20 minutes on just one book! Seriously though - the book is just wonderful and allows parents to go into whatever level of detail regarding the Noah story as they feel is appropriate for the age of their child. It is a softcover and the pages and cover are not of the highest quality - it would be lovely to have in hardcover with larger pages.

This book really does not need any words. It is so well illustrated that you can understand every part of the story. His detailing is stunning. Every time we read this book, we find new details. This is the best book of Noah's ark story!

Every CD in this set is excellent, and since they were taped on site at sessions in Cape Breton you feel like Pema is right there in the room with you. Pema's words along with her wonderfully soothing voice will truly heal the aches and pains of living. It's not just the simplicity but the honesty that makes owning everything Pema worthwhile. If I had known about her years ago, I would have lived differently, if not more easily. Now, because of Pema, there are no regrets, just today. This set is very good therapy.

I put Pema in my walkman (yes, I'm old) and listen to her on my long walks with the dog. I can listen to them over and over and enjoy them. She's easy to listen to and imparts information without preaching.

these are wonderful recordings of pema chodron presenting teachings and wisdom about meditation, open heart, and tonglen. she is clear, wise and funny. i've played these over and over and they have helped me so much in my own practice. highly recommended.

This is a very nice collection of three of Pema Chodron's CD's. She is an excellent teacher--compassionate, thoughtful, and very user-friendly. Listening to these CD's has helped open my heart and mind during stressful moments in life when taking a moment to pause and stay with an uncomfortable emotion is the more difficult but, beneficial mode of operation.

Have you seen that ad on TV - "Your mind controls you, but do you control your mind?" Pema Chocdron shows you how to stop the incessant noise and criticism of your mind by finding a space where ideas are allowed, but teh spontaneous reaction to those ideas is not. By becoming compassionate towards others, you become more compassionate towards yourself, and learn to laugh at yourself and feel less alone by realizing "others feel like this too".

Buy this - it helps.

This book (long out of print) discusses an historic trial that most Jews and supporters of Israel wish had never happened. But the facts of the Kastner trial are there and the history - unpleasant as it is - is factual. There are many unnamed villians as well as known evildoers and this book covers the period just before, during and just after the infamous trial. Revisionism is rampant but, sadly, the facts and legal judgments remain. The wounds are so deep that even now, a revisionist book has recently been published to obfuscate the facts and history. Read "Perfidy" yourself and learn the truth, as horrendous and sad as it is.

I consider 'Perfidy' to be the best,most honest,heart-wrenching story written about any subject.Specifically,it happens to be about not-widely publicized facts about "Zionist leaders" of the Ben-Gurion era ,their very slimy connections to Nazi collaboraters-and a despicable record in saving the Jews of Europe(For anyone who disregards this;Israel's "Zionist leaders"
are also taken apart in Tom Segev's,'The Seventh Million'.).Hecht
prophetically states in his opening sentence:"In my own time,governments have taken the place of people.They have also taken the place of God.Governments speak for people,dream for them,and determine,absurdly,their lives and deaths.."

Hecht,then takes off on the theme of 'Everyman' being crushed by
government "leaders".Israel may have had its "trial of the century" in the 50's(aside from the obviously well known Eichmann
trial).A survivor/author wrote a small pamphlet charging the Israeli government with knowingly appointing Hungarian "Jewish
leader"/Nazi collaborater Rudolf Kastner to a government post.The Israeli government sued "the little guy" for libel-and lost.And Kastner
was assasinated.Hecht concludes with the despicable episode of Israeli's "Dress Yiddish-Think British" Zionist leaders with blocking a "blood for cargo-cargo for blood" deal to save Jews because they were more concerned with playing footsie with the British. If the Hebrew Bible were being written today,Hecht's 'Perfidy' would be in it;read it with an empty stomach.

Wow! This is a must read by anyone who wants to understand the selling out of little Jews by prominent Jews. For so long, this has been whispered about, but these whispers have always been effectively crushed by American Jewry and Israel. The sword of anti-Semitism is quickly drawn whenever the subject is broached.

After reading this book you can no longer doubt the existence, nor effectiveness of sell-out Jews. Their in-actions are no small matter in the ultimate extermination of millions.

Attorney General of Israel, Chaim Cohen summed it up thusly:
"For those (Hungarian Jews) and millions of Jews like them there came true the old curse, 'And lo, they were meant but to be taken like sheep for slaughter, for killing, destruction, crushing and shame.' These should escape? they had no feet on which to run. They should revolt? They had no hands on which to fight. No spirit was left in them..." pg. 164

This statement was uttered in a court as an excuse for the inactions of Israel's government, when they could have saved millions.

The facts are deftly presented in this great and poetically written tale of truth. I won't go into a review of the details, that has been done already. And quite well, I may add. This book will reveal a painful part of Jewish history, that is rarely discussed. It is important to arm yourself with this kind of knowledge to prevent your being hoodwinked by the "leaders" and "protectors" of what is truth. A very worthy investment!!

One of the subjects of this book is the notorous "trucks for jews" deal that Adolf Eichmann and possibly Himmler offered the British in 1944. In short, Eichmann proposed a trading the lives of one million jews for war materials that would be used exclusively against the Soviet Union.

While some people think with their hearts about lives that might have been saved, the true nature of this deal was such that no country would have or should have accepted it.

Trusting the Germans and trying to negotiate with men like Eichmann and Himmler would have been crazy. These are not people anyone can make a deal with as years of events proved. Beyond that, the real nature of the deal on the german side was an attempt to split the allies as a prelude to a seperate peace between Germany and the west while the war would continue with the soviet union.

The alliance could have not have survived the British or Americans giving the Germans war material regardless of the motive. Winning the war was what mattered.

Before giving a brief review of the contents of the book, I must emphasize that this book is a must read for every Jew wherever he or she lives. Spread the word to your friends, and encourage people to read it. There is an effort by organized Jewry both in Israel and in the diaspora to suppress this book and the information it contains. The number of available copies of this is mysteriously shrinking.

Now for the book itself:

Dr. Rudolf Kastner was a Jewish Agency official during WWII who was sent to Hungary to save Hungarian Jews from the holocaust. The top Nazi brass, Eichmann, Krumey, Becher, Wisliczeny, sized him up, and realized that his selfish desire for influence and power could be exploited. To prevent a recurrence of the Warsaw ghetto rebellion, which lasted for 27 days and took enormous German manpower to crush, the Jew-killers needed an "insider" who would deceive the hundreds of thousands of Hungarian Jews into acquiescence. In return for collaborating with the Nazis, Kastner was offered to select about 300 prominent Hungarian Jews to be saved from extermination in Auschwitz.

Kastner agreed. Not only did he deceive the Hungarian Jews, who trusted him blindly because of his credentials as THE top Zionist in Hungary, but he was also responsible to the death of Hanna Senesh, a legendary Israeli parachutist who was sent to Hungary to spy for the British.

During his trial, Kastner lied multiple times under oath. The process of cross-examination painted a picture of a tormented, schizophrenic Kastner, who actually believes he did no wrong.

The entire Bolshevik ruling clique of Israel at the time defended him from the charges of collaboration with the Nazis, because in this trial, they, the ruling clique, were implicated as well. Just like American Jewry during WWII, the Zionist leaders in Israel kept quiet about the extermination of Jews by the Nazi Germans. Both were responsible in great measure for the extent of the genocide---if they did something, it would have been much less than six million. But American Jewry didn't want to be regarded as trouble-makers, and the ruling clique in Israel was the loyal puppy of the British.

The presiding judge ruled against Kastner, and in his opinion implicated the entire government of Israel. This decision had tremendous consequences for Israeli society in the years to come.

Thus the powerful few were shown to be responsible for the slaughter of millions. Hence "Perfidy."

The present ruling clique in Israel is every bit as Bolshevik, militantly secular and as anti-Judaism as the Ben-Gurion mafia of the 1940s and 1950s, and the distinction between Right and Left is virtually meaningless. The present-day American Jewish leadership also did not change much, unfortunately.

"Related" books, such as Lenni Brenner's "51 Documents" are not related at all---most are written by Jew-haters who want to discredit all Jews and their Biblical right to Zion. Perfidy was written by a Jew who loved his fellow Jews, and for whom the exposure of the treason of their leaders in his book caused great emotional pain. It is very different from today's pro-"Palestinian" self-hating assimilated leftist Jewish authors, for whom the K-word is the only apt description.
