As You Think ~ James Allen – "In 1904, James Allen wrote a small book called As a Man Thinketh... A hundred years later, this book has become a self-empowerment classic... Great truths are simple and easy to express, and James Allen's insights into self-empowerment are just that: Personal power lies within the mind… As You Think is a simple yet powerful reminder that "all we achieve and all that we fail to achieve is the direct result of our own thoughts." We are the masters of our destinies."
The Magic in Your Mind ~ U. S. Andersen – "Andersen begins with the premise "that man's consciousness is God's consciousness in process of becoming," and "lays down a method by which such awareness may be used for the practical end of a richer and fuller life." …Andersen's style of writing is uncomplicated, just as the contents of his books are not really complicated. The most difficult aspect may even lie in the simplicity of these ideas. It really makes you see what is possible in this world of "false boundaries and limits" and plants the desire to follow your heart and to never lose sight of your dreams, no matter how far-fetched they may seem."
Three Magic Words ~ U. S. Andersen – "Andersen's books strike a perfect balance between truly interesting information and the step-by-step means to turn that information into successful, peaceful and happy living. His simplicity of explanation, and his offer of suggestive guidance to the reader to free his "limits" of perception and open the avenue to endless rewards in spiritual growth and personal empowerment, enables the reader to come back again and again to his pages and receive yet another personal spiritual gift. A veritable treasure trove of mystical insights; his works are of timeless value."
Dancing in the Fire: Stories of Awakening Within the Heart of Community ~ Bob Valine – …The stories of the men and women in Dancing in the Fire share this journey of the conscious heart into the transforming power of life, love and relationship. Each journey is unique. Each requires great courage, daring and vulnerability. As Rumi says, "The time has come to turn your heart into a temple of fire. Your essence is gold hidden in dust. To reveal it's splendor you need to burn in the fire of love." Come dance in the fire.

The Untethered Soul ~ Michael A. Singer – "Who are you? When you start to explore this question, you find out how elusive it really is. Each time you consider aspects of yourself, you realize that there is much more to you... By tapping into traditions of meditation and mindfulness, Singer shows how the development of consciousness can enable us all to dwell in the present moment and let go of painful thoughts and memories that keep us from achieving happiness and self-realization.
Conversations With God: An Uncommon Dialogue ~ Neale Donald Walsh – "Blasphemy! Heresy! Who does this man think he is, claiming to speak directly to God?! Jesus did it, Muhammad did it, the Jewish prophets did it, but none of their Gods had the sardonic wit or raw verve of Prophet Walsch's God. Neale Donald Walsch isn't claiming to be the Messiah of a new religion, just a frustrated man who sat down one day with pen in his hand and some tough questions in his heart. As he wrote his questions to God, he realized that God was answering them... directly... through Walsch's pen. The result, far from the apocalyptic predictions or cultic eccentricities you might expect, turns out to be matter-fact, in-your-face wisdom on how to get by in life while remaining true to yourself and your spirituality.
Wake Up and Roar ~ H. W. L. Poonja – "--affectionately known as Papaji--was only nine years old when he experienced his first samadhi, an altered state of consciousness where subject and object merge… Wake Up and Roar offers the student complete awakening, here and now, regardless of background, practice, or personal circumstance… Blending humor, logic, and eye-opening storytelling, Papaji extends a gracious wisdom that speaks to the earnest seeker investigating the nature of mind, enlightenment, and "how to be in the world." …he brings comfort and encouragement to practitioners from all traditions at any stage of their inquiry into awakening."
The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success ~ Deepak Chopra – "Teilhard de Chardin said, "We are spiritual beings having a human experience." Chopra explains the laws of pure potentiality, giving, karma, least effort, intention and desire, detachment, and dharma and includes useful suggestions on how to apply these fundamental, natural principles if one is truly searching for purpose and a satisfying life."
The Tao Te Ching ~ Lao Tsu ~ translated by Gia-Fu Feng and Jane English – "Scholars say that the original Tao Te Ching is a poem. Like a poem, this version of the Tao Te Ching is not meant to be read in one breath from front to back, but is to be at intervals internalized and contemplated."
Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah ~ Richard Bach – "In Illusions, the unforgettable follow-up to his phenomenal bestseller Jonathan Livingston Seagull, Richard Bach takes to the air to discover the ageless truths that give our souls wings: that people don't need airplanes to soar...that even the darkest clouds have meaning once we lift ourselves above them... and that messiahs can be found in the unlikeliest places--like hay fields, one-traffic-light midwestern towns, and most of all, deep within ourselves."
The Prophet ~ Kahlil Gibran – "In a distant, timeless place, a mysterious prophet walks the sands. At the moment of his departure, he wishes to offer the people gifts but possesses nothing. The people gather round, each asks a question of the heart, and the man's wisdom is his gift… On the most basic topics--marriage, children, friendship, work, pleasure--his words have a power and lucidity that in another era would surely have provoked the description 'divinely inspired'."
The Infinite Way ~ Joel S. Goldsmith – "Over time, one message has provided comfort and continues to ring true today; seek the answer from within, and you will find the Truth. Now considered a spiritual classic… this timeless message has instilled comfort and hope in the hearts of millions who now look inward for long-lasting peace."
Practicing The Presence ~ Joel S. Goldsmith – "Are we that which receives, or are we that center from which the infinity of God flows out? Are we the multitudes who sat at the feet of the Master waiting to be fed, or are we the Christ feeding the unillumined? In the answer to that lies our degree of spiritual fulfillment." Pg. 83
Consciousness is What I Am ~ Joel S. Goldsmith – "Goldsmith teaches how to instruct the mind to be a dedicated servant of God… He teaches how to drop our old concepts of good and evil… that we can receive, through prayer and meditation, God's instructions. Materialism must be surmounted before we can enter this fourth-dimensional consciousness which transcends time and space. Only then can we become consciously aware of God's purpose for ourselves and others."
Autobiography of a Yogi ~ Paramahansa Yogananda – "…beautifully written account of an exceptional life and a profound introduction to the ancient science of Yoga and its time-honored tradition of meditation. With engaging candor, eloquence, and wit, Yogananda tells the inspiring chronicle of his life: the experiences of his remarkable childhood, encounter with many saints and sages during his youthful search throughout India for an illumined teacher, ten years of training in the hermitage of a revered yoga master, and the thirty years that he lived and taught in America. …clearly explains the subtle but definite laws behind both the ordinary events of everyday life and the extraordinary events commonly termed miracles."
