[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-02-08 Summary: An Invitation to Health ... The book is like branch new. I received the book just in time. I would say I was very satisfied with my purchase through Amazon. I had purchase books from other places but since the image of the book was not displayed and ISBN was misleading I end up with a book that I don't need and since it was very cheap, it was useless for me to send it back since shipping cost will cost me more. Having the image and ISBN displayed will really make a big difference for online purchases. ...more

It does have some interesting self-exams that spur the individual into digging deeper into their own health related habits (good and bad), and learn to modify their behavior. ...more

The Invitation - Boxed Set
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-03-01 Summary: A little slow to start, then packed with power ... For me, the beginning of the book was very slow, but once I completed the first chapter, I knew I was reading something which spoke to my soul. This book is full of lost "common" sense and encouragement for us all to listen to inner selves - with practical advise on how to do this and meaningful personal stories. Remember, intuition is a like a muscle - the more you use it, the stronger it becomes. ...more

The book is definitely speaking volumes to me and I feel like I want to commit every word to memory. ...more
Editorial Reviews — [1] ... Product Description | In The Invitation , Oriah expands on the poem that started it all, exhorting us to fully examine our lives, learn to live with intimacy and joy, and, above all, be true to ourselves. The Dance is the celebrated follow-up that reveals how to let go and enjoy the dance of life. To dance, alone or with others, is to slow down and realize that who we are is enough. Finally, in The Call , Oriah shows that each of us has our own call, our own specific place in the universe, and a contribution...more
[2] ... Review | One night, after an unsatisfying evening at a party, author Oriah Mountain Dreamer wrote the start of The Invitation . By the light of her streetlight, she began, "It doesn't interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for, and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart's longing.... I want to know if you have touched the center of your own sorrow, if you have been opened by life's betrayals or have become shriveled and closed from fear of further pain...." Her profound invitation...more

It was given to me as a textbook for a class I was teaching, and I honestly began to read it without any particular expectation. It has turned out to be one of the more practically helpful and insightful books on spiritual formation I have read. It is well organized, and very accessible. Two strengths in particular stand out to me. First is the author's definition of spiritual formation: "Spiritual formation is a process of being conformed to the image of ...more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-10-16 Summary: Living An Ordinary Life In Extraordinary Love ... Father Keating's invitation is to live an ordinary life with extraordinary love..to exchange self limiting and ineffectual programs for happiness for a program of joy centered on our own truth and focused not inward but outward to others, to community and to the world. Addressed to Christians who may have used church and religion ineffectually in the pursuit of happiness, it also offers a compassionate, understanding and wise approach for all of us to help recognize these ineffectual programs for happiness within our ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2007-08-28 Summary: Do you hunger for deeper prayer? Read this book. ... This is one book I would recommend most highly to anyone who thinks about learning more about prayer and hungers for more. The subtitle, "The Way of Christian Contemplation" should not frighten anyone because it is not "new" nor is it just a "technique." Rather, it follows from the best tradition of the church, including John of the Cross, Theresa of Avila and others. Fr. Keating's writing is simple, clear, using examples we can all identify with. No one needs a theology degree for this, just a hunger to learn about ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-07-20 Summary: An easy, down-to-earth and powerful read on centering prayer ... Fr Thomas Keating has written a book that gleans from among the best of the Church's contemplative resources such as John of the Cross, Teresa of Avila, Cloud of Unknowing and presents it afresh with a gentle and winsome voice to today's would-be contemplatives. For many who find some of the deep classics on prayer such as those mentioned somewhat dense or obscure will find much to resonate with in 'Invitation to Love'. The method of Centering Prayer which he has helped develop and promote for our generation is a simple ...more

A Rather Charming Invitation begins with Penny and Jeremy planning their wedding and soon twists and turns through family history and mysteries. Penny and Jeremy travel through England, France and Monaco trying to solve the crime and you, the reader, get to travel along. Everything is described in such wonderful detail that I felt like I was right there with them. Just when I thought I had it figured out it would take another turn. There was enough intrigue to always keep me guessing and keep me reading (me: "yes, ...more
[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2010-02-21 Summary: Lovely, lovely, lovely ... C.A. Belmond writes another luxe mystery for readers who want a wonderful escape interlude. Seriously, I feel I should read this while reclining on an elegant art deco chaise lounge like you might find on a movie set for Carole Lombard or Myrna Loy. Truly escapist literature that takes you from the London Bloomington-area style salons to the French Riviera aboard an antique roadster or a one-of-a-kind train journey. In fact, I actually read this during one of the dreariest February winter weeks in recent memory and ...more

There her Aunt Leonora and Uncle Phillipe offer the use of an ancient bridal tapestry and their chateau for their wedding vows. However, Jeremy's very British grandmother wants the ceremony in England so the couple has to convince her to cross the Channel. As they struggle to persuade his ...more
Editorial Reviews — ...

Dateline: London, Paris, Antibes. It's time to get down to wedding planning.

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-06-06 Summary: An Eerie Resemblance to Unreality ... Ask me any questions you may not have, friends. By mounting the reviewer's scaffold, I've sentenced myself to reply on behalf of the author, who is otherwise disposed. What's this book about, you ask? Why, the same thing all books are about, you and me. But what happens in it? That's an impertinent question! Why should my author be troubled to say what his book is about when you can read it for yourself. Humble apologies then, but is there a setting? Oh, there may or may not be a setting, or more precisely, a sitting, ...more
[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-08-02 Summary: Diet Kafka ... The musings of Kafka and other Eastern European writers are among my favorite. Though Nabokov claims to have had no familiarity with Kafka's "The Trial" as he wrote "Invitation to a Beheading", the book bears a striking resemblance. If one reads this book expecting another Kafka, the reader might be disappointed. If a reader views this work according to its own merits as they should, the book should be a pleasureable read. Cincinnatus C. has been imprisoned and sentenced to death for "gnostical turpitude." Other parts ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2007-08-23 Summary: Everybody's havin' them dreams ... I only came to know of this early Nabokov novel by reading the wonderful "Reading Lolita in Tehran" by Azar Nafisi (highly recommended), a study of the relevance of literature in the personal quest for freedom from the crushing weight of oppression. Certainly the protagonist of "Invitation to a Beheading," Cincinnatus C., is a relevant case in point, given that he has been sentenced to death for an obscure crime (gnostical turpitude)and is constantly under the manipulatory pressures of absurd agents of the state. ...more
[4] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-02-02 Summary: Dream or Reality? ... Most of the enjoyment with this book is the discovery of Nabokov's creation. Frankly, I suggest that you skip the reviews here, close your eyes for the moment and simply read the book - the same recommendation that I make for most of his books. Read the comments later. Vladimir Nabokov (1899 to 1977) is a Russian born writer who went to Cambridge, lived in western Europe, then in the US, and finally retired to Switzerland. He has a medium sized body of work with numerous novels, short works, and his non-fiction. Most ...more
[5] Rating: 4 Date: 2009-06-29 Summary: Stop comparing this to Kafka ... With literature like this, the plot isn't the point. What happens is nowhere near as important as why it happens. The ending is spelled out on the back of this book and I'm going to tell you what it is right now. The hero, after spending the entire novel on death row, causes the world around him to disintegrate. If knowing this about the book causes it to lose its appeal for you, you probably don't have it in you to love the book, anyway. I'm not knocking you. It's an enviable position to be in. If you are still interested ...more
Editorial Reviews — ... Product Description | Like Kafka's The Castle, Invitation to a Beheading embodies a vision of a bizarre and irrational world. In an unnamed dream country, the young man Cincinnatus C. is condemned to death by beheading for "gnostical turpitude." an imaginary crime that defies definition. Cincinnatus spends his last days in an absurd jail, where he is visited by chimerical jailers. an executioner who masquerades as a fellow prisoner, and by his in-laws. who lug their furniture with them into his cell. When Cincinnatus...more

Invitation to Sociology: A Humanistic Perspective

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-05-28 Summary: Great intro! ... I teach a course in the sociology of education to master's students from a broad range of majors. Few if any have been introduced to sociology as a discipline that might have value, even changing the way they view the world. Berger's text, though now in print for forty-five years, remains the best introductory text available. The first five chapters are priceless, demonstrating that not all of human behavior can be reduced to psychology or social psychology or strength of will, but that institutions -- structured social ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2007-07-03 Summary: Inspiring Book ... What an awe-inspiring book! Peter Berger presents a detailed description of what it means to study sociology, to be a sociologists, and how sociology can change the world. As an college student majoring in sociology, I found Berger's book to be phenomenal in its analysis of a world requiring sociological thought. After reading the book, I was once again reminded why I chose to study sociology in the first place. This is a book for anyone who wishes to further understand the facets of the discipline of sociology, or ...more
[3] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-03-04 Summary: Uncomplete review from some years back ... Each new sociology student must read this book during his or her first year into the discipline, and each sociologist must read this book (or the notes he made in the past about it) once every couple years. Peter Berger wrote one of the most compelling treatises into a social science, bridging theme with emotion, intellectual associations, nice metaphors and analogies and a wealth of humor. The first chapter ("Sociology as an individual pastime") stands alone as an excellent introduction to the science of society. ...more
[4] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-04-24 Summary: One of the most important sociology books ... It wasn't until after I majored in sociology that I actually got around to reading the works of Perter L. Berger, although I had studied many works citing his, and Thomas Luckmann. This book is in my opinion the very best introduction to sociology I have read. Berger has a unique ability to articulate the fundamentals of sociology, the "sociological perspective" that has often been misunderstood and underappreciated in the world of the social sciences. This book is important to read by anyone in the social science ...more
Editorial Reviews — ... Product Description | This lucid book presents the discipline of sociology to both the general reader and the student. Viewing sociology in the humanist tradition, Berger points out its affinity to history and philosophy, as well as its need for scientific procedures....more
