Book Description
This collection of essays by leading scholars in the field of group communication explores communication processes and behaviors that members of decision-making groups can use to accomplish their goals. The text's unique lifespan approach focuses on the changing communication and decision-making patterns that occur as individuals and groups evolve. Managing Group Life explores the many challenges faced by groups and their members and offers solutions on how to manage them through individual and collective communication.
Book Description
Courageous Souls explores the premise that we are all eternal souls who plan our lives, including our greatest challenges, prior to birth for purposes of spiritual growth. The book contains ten true stories of people who planned physical illness, having handicapped children, deafness, blindness, drug addiction, alcoholism, losing a loved one, and severe accidents. Because very different life challenges are often planned for similar reasons, readers who have not faced these specific challenges will nevertheless see themselves - and their motivations as a soul - in these stories. As readers come to realize that they themselves planned their lives, suffering that once seemed purposeless becomes imbued with deep meaning. Wisdom may be acquired in a more conscious manner; feelings of anger, guilt, blame, and victimization are replaced by acceptance, forgiveness, peace, and gratitude.

courageous souls-Do we plan our life challanges before birth?.......2007-10-15
This book is FANTASTIC!
Everyone has a story and has things going on in their life.This book makes everything that happens to you make sense. It allows you to understand why you have ended up where you are in life.Why you have chosen certain paths.And allows you to understand and be at peace with other peoples choices and the way they live their life.
I just loved it.Everyone should have a copy.It is well written, easy to understand and informative.But above all..it just makes sense.And things seem alot more clear to me than they did before I read the book.I loved it.For anyone who needs alittle hope or clarity in their lives..read this book.
Slow read.......2007-10-12
This book has some interesting ideas but it is a slow read. Not too sure if I would recommend.
Karma is more than payback.......2007-10-11
This book really changed my perspective on my current life situation. I was quite negative about the situation I'm dealing with, feeling it was just the result of past lives in which I had incurred very bad karma and I would just have to live through it. But, after reading this book, I believe I am living this life because of contracts I made in the pre-birth planning. That changes everything for me - if I agreed to the challenges I'm working with because I wanted to help one I love, there can be no resentment, just gratitude for being able to help, and love for the one I'm struggling with. Thank you, Robert Schwartz, what a gift!
So that's why . . ........2007-10-08
If you ever want to get into the backside of your pre-birth planning of your life challenges, read Courageous Souls by Robert Schwartz. Want to know why you attract illness, accidents, birth defects? Want to know why you chose a life of alcoholism or drug addiction, or are around someone who has? Read this book. The stories, while may start out slow at first, are powerful and insightful. Just stick with them. Robert uses mediums who are able to access multiple guides at one time, and your primary guide and listen in on conversations between you and your soul group.
not credible.......2007-09-30
I got to p. 300 and started reading another book. I found this book painstakingly slow to read, the information provided by the mediums: farfetched, and the conclusions drawn by the author, hard to swallow. Often, when mediums are tired, their accuracy rate diminishes. I never heard of any of the mediums used in this book. Robert Schwartz makes everything so complicated when the subject matter is really quite easy to understand. The book just doesn't flow easily and it's not a page turner in my opinion. I'm a believer, but this book really is a waste of time and money. Read Journey of the Soul by Michael Newton, PhD. Instead of using mediums, he enters the superconsciousness of his clients and elicits information from them directly about their experiences on The Other Side.

The Christmas Box Collection: The Christmas Box Timepiece The Letter
ASIN: 0743219422
Release Date: 2001-10-09 |
Amazon.com
It began with The Christmas Box, a humble story about a caretaker and his family who befriend a lonely widow at Christmas time. In The Christmas Box Miracle, author Richard Paul Evans offers the back story, showing us how his self- published book became a runaway bestseller. We first meet the author as a young boy, learning about the family and faith that led him to become such as reliable and unpretentious narrator. As it turns out, Evans grew up in a Mormon household amongst a band of taunting brothers and a few childhood ghosts. His mother lost a stillborn daughter when Evans was a toddler. She also suffered from severe depression and suicidal tendencies. This backdrop helps us understand Evans's dedication to bring healing and hope to life. More than a publishing success story, The Christmas Box Miracle speaks about Evans's ability to change readers' lives and foster miracle after miracle. Fans of Evans already know to pull out their handkerchiefs. --Gail Hudson
Book Description
In 1994, Richard Paul Evans, then an unknown writer, self-published a short book entitled The Christmas Box. That book went on to become an international bestseller, selling more than seven million copies and touching the lives of many more people along the way.
The Christmas Box Miracle is the story behind the book that has become a Christmas classic: how a man writes and publishes a book which helps grieving people to heal and lost souls to find their way home. It is Evans's story: his own spiritual journey and stories of people he encountered along the way -- miraculous stories of healing and divinity that often defy explanation.
In sharing the story behind The Christmas Box, Richard Paul Evans has given us a story of miracles, hope and healing for all seasons.

What?.......2007-07-01
I am a big fan of the Christmas Box books, but when I saw this book I thought UHHHHHH I guess he needs even more money. RPE must have realized that he was a flash in the pan, and was desprate to hang on to his falling fame. This book does have its moments though, but it sounds like a broken record. They were giving this book away.. a free copy with every $10 purchase. I wish RPE would get over himself he's no Charles Dickens!!!
excellent book.......2007-03-20
this book is really eye opening as to faith and where it can lead you if you let it.
Powerful, yet simple message.......2007-01-14
Unfortunately I read this after reading "The Light of Christmas" so I knew most of the story line but it was still worth the read. It is a simple story with a powerful message about the importance of our individual lives and the lives of those who love us. The Christian message of hope in life is prevalent but subtle and doesn't come across as 'preaching' while still delivering its impact.
Buy more than one!.......2005-12-05
I loved this book from the beginning to the end. It is filled with profound thought evoking experiences and letters. I always love "the story behind the story" and that is exactly what this is. I suggest buying more than one because then you will have one to keep and one that you can share with out having to worry about tracking it down later.
This is the BEST book I've ever read........2003-12-24
Even if you haven't read "The Christmas Box," and don't know what it's about you should read "The Christmas Box Miracle!" It's the most inspiring, and moving book I've ever read. I hope you take the opportunity you've been given, and read this awesome book. It will change your life for the better.

i am happier to know u.......2007-05-14
loved it, loved it, loved it...my kind of book....easy to read, extremely interesting & informative...if you have a desire to learn more about the muslim culture & to have a greater understanding of the people of egypt this is the book you must read. the author with her wit & charm has done a wonderful job at making you feel you are there with her sharing her experiences. will definately order more copies to give to my friends (there not getting my copy)who i know will think twice before critising the muslim culture & hopefully have a harder look at our own culture.
I am Happier to Know You.......2006-03-26
Written with humor, honesty and genuine caring, I am Happier to Know You takes the reader into a rich and varied culture with social and political perspectives so necessary to our understanding of today's world. This story of a lone, American woman as she finds personal strength experiencing a totally new life is insightful and compassionate. I felt as if I were in Egypt. Her sense of humor took her through many trying circumstances, but brought with it acceptance and understanding of a country and a people she truly loves. I am Happier to Know You provides both learning and understanding of Middle Eastern customs through non-judgmental eyes and an inspiring, courageous story of personal growth.
Easy to read.......2006-02-25
This book is written in a easy way to read, entertaining and informative in some parts but the writer was misinformed in some other parts. I am an Egyptian and while was reading some parts I was feeling like she was talking about another country than the one I know. Either she was misinformed as I said or didn't understand some aspects of the culture. Overall, it is a good book. At least she took the time to know another culture. I salute her.
Love is the Answer.......2005-11-15
"I Am Happier to Know You" written by Jeanne M. Eck is a memoir of a journey within and without. Written with honesty and clarity Jeanne's voice offers the reader to experience Egypt through her eyes and heart. Her growth and wisdom expands in this faraway land and this growth and wisdom transcends the pages for all to grasp. Ultimately, her message is really very simple and beautiful, " Love is the answer, it is the answer to everything.
I Am Even Happier To Know Jean Eck & Her Wonderful Book!.......2005-11-13
What can I say? Jean is so honest when she writes and I truly love this quality in her latest book "I Am Happier To Know You." As an expat living in Egypt, myself (for 7 years), I truly could not of said it any better than Jean. She captures every little detail of life in Egypt. Her indepth explanation of the sounds, smells, and tastes of Egyptian life is brought to life in-front of your eyes, as you read her book. At times, I felt I wasn't reading - I was just mearly watching her life unfold hear step by step and inch by inch. She has truly done the unknown and remarkable endeavours to create this book. Going were most people don't dare go; she went full force into a life of the unknown and came out to tell about it in "I Am Happier To Know You." I highly recommend this book to anyone that simply once to be able to let go of all you ever known but, just can't! Jean Eck makes it all come true for you in "I Am Happier To Know You."
Book Description
Every family has relational habits--both positive and negative--that have been passed down from generation to generation. Experienced counselor Beverly Hubble Tauke cites real-life stories and suggests specific "transforming practices" to change family patterns. By putting an end to the cycle of negativity, families can find the joy that God intended for them and enjoy healthy relationships for generations to come. This is a repackage with new title (previous title, [Overcoming the] Sins of the Family, 2004).
Customer Reviews:
The Redemptive Generation.......2007-07-09
In "Healing Your Family Tree," Beverly Hubble Tauke prescribes eight transforming habits to help people overcome a painful past and create a legacy of future joy. Tauke bases her core transforming habit on the biblical principle of generational sin. Speaking of Nehemiah 9, she states, "Nehemiah demonstrated how to take a `moral inventory' not just of personal life, but of family history." She also roots her model in Bowenian family systems therapy which emphasizes the interconnection of all family members in a web of mutual influence.
Building from these two central perspectives, Tauke offers eight practical transforming habits: explore and resolve the wounds from your family history, warm your heart through building nurturing relationships, find reasons to celebrate even in your grief, define your role in your extended and nuclear family, minimize the family tyrant's power over you, seek one-to-one relationships with each member of your family, embrace a vibrant connection with God, and exercise judicious generosity. She powerfully illustrates the outworking of these habits through biblical history, modern examples, and illustrative vignettes from her therapeutic practice.
"Healing Your Family Tree" is a hopeful, healing book written by an author who works in the trenches of family misery (Tauke works as a licensed clinical social worker in D.C.). It faithfully communicates the biblical principle that "where sin abounds, there grace superabounds." Tauke provides proven pathways on the journey home--the journey of relational forgiveness, personal freedom, and family harmony.
Reviewer: Dr. Robert W. Kellemen is the author of Beyond the Suffering: Embracing the Legacy of African American Soul Care and Spiritual Direction, Soul Physicians, and Spiritual Friends. He is also a licensed clinical professional counselor and a seminary professor.

Spirits Calling

ProductGroup: Book
Binding: Paperback
ASIN: 0966419421 |
Product Description
Find out how to embark on an inner journey so powerful that it has the potential to change not only your life but the world!
My name is Sheralee Faith, wife, mother, grandmother, multiple business owner, author and scribe.
Spirits Calling is information that I have been receiving for the past ten years informing us of the critically ill state of our planet and humanity.
According to the information received, we have reached a critical point in the evolution of mankind. It is time to awaken, to begin the process of unlearning all that we have been taught about functioning as separate and isolated human doings and come to understand the Truth- that we are actually connected, Divinely guided Spirit Beings.
Within this work Spirit defines true forgiveness, love, miracles and much more while at the same time giving us detailed explanations of how we have reached this point and further gives us clear step by step instruction on how to quickly turn it around. Spirit brings to light the truth of our situation and shows us how we are in fact human doings, asleep, in chrysalis, attempting to transform into Spirit Beings.
We are also shown how one simple act, which is clearly defined and outlined in Spirits Calling, if practiced with diligence and determination, has the power to transform every aspect of anyones life and in turn has the potential to change the world.
Join me, become a pilgrim on this incredible journey into the uncharted depths within and come to find true peace and joy in the discovery of who we really are and why we are here.

Heartwarming, eye-opening, mind expanding. To be absorbed slowly and re-read time and again. A spiritual adventure into truth for those questioning.
Book Description
Frequently asked questions and answers about the plan of life and salvation and the basic principles of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Using the Plan of Salvation as an outline, Clay Gorton, author of the popular ASK GRAMPS series, takes the reader on the journey from his pre-mortal birth in the spirit world, to mortality, to the post-mortal spirit world, to his life on earth during the Millenium, and finally to his ultimate destination as an exalted being in the celestial kingdom of God. Questions, misunderstood concepts, clarifications, insights, and answers fill the text so that all can benefit.
What was life like as an intelligence?
What were the circumstances of our spirit's birth?
What were the conditions of the preexistence?
Why is the mortal experience so important?
What are the doctrines of salvation?
What is our future?
The sign posts of our journey include the essential ordinances and covenants of the gospel, and our guide is the Lord Jesus Christ. But what is the doctrine of salvation? This book offers a concise view of the plan of salvation and will serve to increase the faith and confirm the testimonies of all who read it.

Great "1st" Literary Work!!!.......2006-10-18
I must say that I truly enjoyed this book from the beginning to the end. While reading the book it felt like I was right there with the character. It was so real, the language was real and it definitely made you want to keep reading to find out what was going to happen next. The ending was great, it didn't give the feeling of being left hanging as some books do. I would recommend this book to anyone and hope that Zanetta keeps persuing her writing.
Great book overall.
