Rating:  out of 5 stars - Love these books
This was a very inspiring book for me in very contemplative times in my life. I was able to stay very focused in a time that it was imperative to me. I love all of this particular authors books always read them in trying times.



Rating:  out of 5 stars - Fantastic, spiritual, educational
This is one of the best books I have read. I have learned alot from it and I find it easy to apply those teachings to my life.



Rating:  out of 5 stars - Terrible! I'll never waste my time on another book by this author!
Unless you enjoy reading prose that could very well have been constructed by a student in middle school, stay away!
