Earth

The Divine Matrix: Bridging Time, Space, Miracles, and Belief

Gregg Braden

Hay House, 2008

Quantum made easy
I cannot believe I haven't heard about this book before, and cannot put it down. Easy reading, not too technical, very good examples of various experiments, and drawing from 'ancient' knowledge as well as finding very pertinent references to the "Field" from people ...

The Purpose Driven® Life: What on Earth Am I Here For? (Purpose Driven® Life, The)

Rick Warren

Zondervan, 2007

A MUST READ!!! VERY SPIRITUAL & MOTIVATING!!!
I must say that I was not a very spiritual person until now. I have gone to several churches over many of my 41 years and not one has delivered the message to me that this book has. This book has saved my relationship and given me a completely different perspective ...

Heaven

Randy Alcorn

Tyndale House Publishers, 2004

Required Reading
This book explains many of the mysteries and unbeliefs of the general population. It should be required reading and is completely balanced with Scripture. All of us should be aware that there is not only a Heaven, but there is also a Hell and we each must do ...

World Without End

Ken Follett

Dutton Adult, 2007

One of the longest books I've ever read, and excellent.
Those looking for a quick read should look elsewhere, but then, the product description could have told you that. I read most of the text in the course of a day (with a lot of time devoted). This is, of course, a sequel to Ken Follett's 80s classic "The Pillars of ...

The Pillars of the Earth (Deluxe Edition) (Oprah's Book Club)

Ken Follett

NAL Trade, 2007

Enticing novel indeed
When I finally came to the conclusion that I was to read the Pillars of the Earth for my summer reading, I was rather skeptical that a near thousand page book, dealing with the construction of a cathedral could keep me inspired enough to read it. I was ineffably ...

The World Without Us

Alan Weisman

Picador, 2008

Fascinating Look at Our Effect on the Planet
When I first picked up this book, I was concerned that it would simply be a lesson on how plants and animals would overtake our cities and houses once humans had disappeared from our planet. That is a major part of the book, but I never found it to be overdone. The ...

Gardening When It Counts is truly a book for our times. There's already a well-deserved buzz about this book among home gardeners I know. For one thing, it firmly refutes the supposed advantages of mulch gardening. In the burgeoning nationwide return to growing our own ...

Earth: The Sequel: The Race to Reinvent Energy and Stop Global Warming

Fred Krupp, Miriam Horn

W. W. Norton, 2008

A rebuttal to flat-earthers.
I recommend this book to those people who are in any way swayed by economic arguments as to the cost of tackling climate change. As with the advent of any new technological change from the spinning loom on; there are entrenched interests who will fight tooth and nail ...

The Children of Húrin

J.R.R. Tolkien

Houghton Mifflin, 2007

Great Story + Great Voice Acting = Great Audio Book!
This is a previously released story that has appeared twice, once in the Silmarillion, and once is the Lost Book of Tales, both in different stages of development. Honestly I don't remember the differences (although it's been a long time since I've read these two ...

The Emotional Intelligence Quick Book

Travis Bradberry, Jean Greaves
