The Idiots Guide To Spiritual Awakening
· Paperback: 384 pages
· Publisher: Alpha; 1 edition
· Language: English
· ISBN: 0028638263
I enjoy the Dummy and Idiots book. They are humorous and patient and understanding and do not expect much from ones intelligence. Spirituality is also something that I am interested in so that is why this book is such a pleasurable read. If you think the practical teachings of spiritual awakening are impossible to express in this series of books you will be surprised at how hands on it is.
The book teaches you what spirituality is, how to choose the correct path, learn to think out of the box, intuitive guidance and discusses traditional Western and Eastern traditional beliefs. Offering easy to use disciplines, this book offers a personal, practical way to achieve enlightenment and improvement in ones everyday life.

i'm reading two books right now-
the imitation of christ by tomas a kempis
no greater love by mother teresa
both are very challanging reads. the texts essentially urge us to become saints, to re-evaluate our values and our behavior and to strive harder to walk a good path and get the most out of our time on earth. very good boks, and i recomend them both.

I just finished "Annie Freeman's Fabulous Traveling Funeral" by Kris Radish. It is a novel about a group of women with a friend in common, to whom they have promised to conduct a multi stop funeral across the country. Interesting interactions among them, within each, and through the connections that Annie leaves behind. Fairly quick to read and enjoyable. Comparable to a "chick flick"-sorry, guys.

I just finished re-reading Dune by Frank Herbert (one of my favorite books of all time)
Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer (a very gripping first hand accound of a disasterous few days on Mt Everest)
Pride of Baghdad by Brian K. Vaughan and Niko Henrichon (a graphic Novel that I can't give enough koodo's... all I can say is wow. It is based on the true story of a group of four lions that roamed Baghdad after escaping the bombed out zoo.)
Here is some of what Vertigo has to say about it:

I'm reading White Oleander by Janet Fitch. Pretty decent fiction about a girl named Astrid who's mother murders her boyfriend and goes to prison. The story revolves around all the foster homes Astrid is involved in and the hard times she goes though. I wanted to read it because my mother spent many years in foster homes. Tis a tough life and even though this story is fiction, it's somewhat similar to my mom's childhood.

Still reading it. I would be a bit embarrased if someone actually compared this to my last post. I had to renew it from the library and had to pay $1.35 in late charges. The ironic part is that if you can see the price at the bottom, the time that the book came out it only cost $2.95. It is a thick book but it is not easy to understand. It is a interesting read but its not an inspiring read.

I have read some of Dennet's essay. He is really good at taking abstract ideas and presenting them in a managable way. I would love to hear about that book when you finish. He almost died this year. Here is an essay link I posted in the atheist section about that:
