At the offered Kindle price, it’s definitely a REAL STEAL. How the the great psychotherapist Carl Jung summed up the long process of becoming Ourselves - and Finding FULL PSYCHOLOGICAL FREEDOM. Brief and to the point - with plenty of hands-on dreamwork.

Looking for some cozy mystery fun in the sun? I just shelled out all of $0.99(!) for this zany little yarn, and think I’l LOVE it! And why NOT?

The big family party is over.

Three emotional wrecking balls have crashed into our partygoers’ revelry...

And Darius, in the peaceful aftermath, has found his True Blood Brother!

I’ll give this one FIVE STARS, for sure.

When we were herded into a humungous group photo, my eyes were burning. I couldn’t help it - they were ALL my family!
BEAUTIFUL book.

Kevin Kuhn is a Wizard - literally! He takes you all kinds of places that are NOT ON ANY ROAD MAP, because up to now you thought they were all in your head... instead they’re all happening RIGHT BEFORE YOUR EYES. This year you don’t need
Independence Day fireworks!

This heartwarming two-volume classic is just $2.99 today (for the ebook) on Amazon!

Cultivate peace - and be deaf to your prolific imagination: for its (endless) activity not only injures your health, but introduces dryness into your soul.

When we always want MORE, we will repeatedly fail!
“When we are faithful in instantly dropping all restless refections... we shall be set in a large place even in the midst of the strait and narrow path.”
Zen? Nope - just the greatest of Counter-Reformation Quietists!

In a mission-focused organization like the military, we may come to believe that our being depends on our doing. It does not.
My religious tradition teaches that our calling is to be as fully human as possible... we must (act) as our most authentic selves.

As the night wears on, the Afghan lieutenant and I speak more... about our very different faiths... We both affirm that the ultimate character of the divine is love... We do not even have to speak another religious language fluently (to) carry on a meaningful conversation.

I am an Afghanistan War veteran...
I am a better man than I was before
I know the value of life more intimately
I know compassion given
And received...
I know love
For it is love that has kept me alive...
Love keeps me living.

- An inspiring read for my new good medic buddy!
“If Faith is more about discovering MEANING (emphasis mine) than assenting to unprovable statements, this book is truly about frontline faith.”

Christine’s mother has brought her grandmother home by streetcar, to stay over at their place for the long, bitter prairie winter... and FOREVER - if C’s mom has her way!

(My mother said), ‘Maybe Santa forgot to send something, and it will be on this train....’ So through the snow, the sound of sleigh bells filling the crisp, cold air, we went to... the station... And then there it was - a red bicycle with a light on the front!’

What is happening? (The) Time Adjustor doesn’t (just) change the date on my iPhone and watch; it actually changes the day I’m LIVING!
- Eureka!

‘The second I saw hm at my door... I made a decision - I’m going to give this kid a safe place in the world.’

Darius’ grandfather (Babou) throws a party for D’s Iranian great-uncle and his wife. It’s the first time the kid has met them, but when Babou’s brother pokes Darius’ potbelly and laughs, he wants to disappear through the floorboards! Love this quirky book...

Wonderful real-life stories from the acclaimed author of the bestseller Invisible Thread, her autobiographical account of her support and mentoring of an impoverished Manhattan kid.

Christine is a young francophone Canadian who has been sent to her grandmother’s house in early 1900’s Manitoba to keep the lonely and forgetful woman company during summer vacation. The two hit it off immediately and discover a deep mutual kinship, love and sense of creativity.

This audiobook, along with so many other Audible purchasesI I own, is on hiatus for me - as far as I can see for now - until the onset of cooler weather and the resumption of our indoors routine. Though the plethora of mosquitoes here may change that! Inclement weather will rekindle my introspection.

For all those (many) readers who loved the wistful tales were of a long-ago childhood in Ms Roy’s classic Street of Riches - which I read as an impressionable teen in my early 1960’s French Class!

Before my body is something I HAVE, it is just the way I FEEL the world, am present to it, and participate in it.
- John Paul II vs the Body’s so-called Objectivity.

FREE ebook today on Amazon! Looks great.

I’m an old senior with weak eyesight. Therefore upon dipping my into this delightful assortment of real-life yarns about the Pope when it was released 2 years ago, I gave the new paperback to my good friend next door, and vowed to get it when Kindle did their bit. FINALLY... I get to finish it!

- One of the most crucial errors in our modern mindset is Reductionism, reducing our world to objects:
“(In Theology of the Body, John Paul II says is, that when we say) ‘I am my body,’ the body is not some object ‘out there’ (but is) personal...”

An excellent morality tale for the life of politics. Bunn, like his hero, is politically aware and a religious man - he is the author of a large number of fine novels in the same vein.

This is how Catholic books USED to be written: slowly, reverently, and in a scholarly manner. But the old-fashioned priest who wrote it lingers over the stories with such a patiently worded sense of wonder, too! It distils, in fact, the slow-moving pace of life of 19th-century rural Normandy.

Couldn’t resist! For $1.99 today on Amazon I even got this amazing Christian author’s Spiritual Autobiography! And I can’t argue with THIS price...
