1.The God Delusion by: Richard Dawkins May 21, 2007

Like many succesful books debating religion vs science, dawkins uses logic and reason to 'debunk' popular monotheistic religions, along the way revealing weak pro-religious arguments and the rather queer(in the context of strangeness not homosexuality) morals which they claim they derive from their 'holy' books. Dawkins starts with the 'God hypothisis' and throughout the book systematically disproves each couter argument along the way, encorperating british witt and humour to the mix of what is already truely an exhilirating and awe inspiring read, that will allow you to open your eyes and peer contently through that narrow slit in Dawkins hypothetical burka.

2.The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment by: Eckhart Tolle February 01, 2001

This book has been written in the sense of a dialogue between master and disciple reminicent of the Corpus Hermeticum. However in this case the reader may or may not find these imposed questions useful or, indeed annoying... This is a book which is either going to hit a chord, or will seem like utter nonsense. From my point of view as an average reader, I have found it very important because it explores concepts of this mind/ego (a double) which is inside of each person which needs confronting in someway. I think this book is must read for anyone who feels they are on a spiritual path, because fundementally (and in my limited understanding) the awareness of the 'double' and the fission of dark and light is inevitable along this path. If this is ... Read More:

I found this too wordy and deep for a simple soul such as myself however I did as advised on the Oprah site and sat with 2 marker pens in different colours to underline that which I understood and that which I didn't. Needless to say one colour got a heck of a bashing!! I've given it 3 stars though because I did actually get some really good bits out of it which I jotted down on the spare blank pages at the back (in my own words so I would understand later) and for that it was worth reading/buying. What I am most chuffed about however is reading a review by Paul Chipperfield (lower down) recommending Cheri Huber's book which as he said is much kinder to us mere mortals and he is sooooo right!! Cheri Huber writes in a way I can understand ... Read More:

4.God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything by: Christopher Hitchens March 01, 2008

This book does make you think in two sense of that phrase: it makes you consider the big questions in life and it also makes you concnetrate hard to understand it in places. I liked the book when considering it in the round. It think that Hitchens is clearly a very clever individual, well-read and who has considered his subject-matter in some detail and is very familiar with it. But this is part of the downside to the book in that, for someone like me, who is not a philosopher and who does not have a good grounding in the subject matter, it is difficult to follow in places (quite a few places). I have also read The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins recently and on balance I prefer Dawkins book. That said, the two books are written in different styles (Dawkins ... Read More:

5.Angels in My Hair by: Lorna Fitzgerald Byrne May 01, 2008

My sister loaned me this book which I just finished reading. As a believer in angels and other spiritual beings I found it an excellent read and would recommend it to friends. Anybody interested in exploring matters of spirit should also read Peacemonger and Free Spirit by Patrick Francis. It is amazing the variety of reviews of a book and when I read the one dissenting one for this book I wonder were we reading the same book-but such is the variety of human responses and the wonder of being alive-all perspectives are valid

6.The Richest Man in Babylon by: George S. Clason February 01, 2004

This is just about the best non fiction book I have ever read and most certainly the best £4 I ever spent. There are many thousands of books out there which claim to make us millionaires over night, many of which are sold here on Amazon. But while they quite often have overall 5 star ratings, you never actually see any customer reviews informing us they did indeed become a millionaire over night. What The Richest Man In Babylon does though is instead tell us that through using common sense and a bit of self discipline, we can all become rich over time. The synopsis is simple, through a series of very brief stories taken from recently excavated scrolls perportedly found in the ancient lost city of Babylon, you are told how to manage your money. Each little tale has one main ... Read More:

7.The Five Love Languages: How to Express Heartfelt Commitment to Your Mate (Relationships) by: Gary Chapman December 31, 1995

Dr. Gary Chapman has written a very practical book here that unlocks the doors to understanding the needs of your partner. Many books have been written on the subject, but I feel Dr. Chapman approaches these issues on understanding the opposite sex from a new and fresh perspective. The key to successful relationships of any kind is understanding the other person better, and helping them to learn how to understand you and your ways. I recommend this book to anyone wishing to enhance their personal relationships and further enrich their lives. A good book for everyone's bookshelf.

8.Cosmic Ordering Guide: Where Dreams Can Become Reality by: Stephen Richards June 06, 2006

This Cosmic Ordering guide by Stephen Richards is the perfect antidote to modern living. It brilliantly explains the concepts of cosmic ordering so that the reader can easily understand and absorb the importance of communicating with the cosmos to make powerful changes in their life. As well as featuring the author's tale of success against the odds, I always enjoy reading about a person from a humble background succeeding, it is an inspiring read. Should definitely be read in partnership with Stephen Richard's Cosmic Ordering Connection: Change Your Life Within Minutes! Together they are a powerful union for developing change. Lovely.

9.Portable Atheist: Essential Readings for the Non-Believer by: Christopher Hitchens November 15, 2007

This is a thick tomb, not so portable as a set of keys but much more portable than a well stocked library. - what you need to look up the writings of the authors mentioned in this book. This book is a tourist guide to intellectual places you have never considered visiting, or wanted to but didn't know where to start. I think this book may have been more readable to the non English Lit. graduate had the contents been presented from the most recent to the least. It takes effort to read the early entries and to understand them. Stick with it nonetheless your brain may ache from the effort but it will be fitter because of it.

10.The Art of Happiness: A Handbook for Living by: His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Howard Cutler November 08, 1999

I personally found this book very helpful and enjoyed reading it. It is nice to be able to see things from a positive perspective and this book helps you to do that. Although it is probably worth mentioning that none of the wonderful ideas in this book will work without alott of effort and self discipline. It covers attitude and philosophy and does not include any real techniques or methods, but there are other books that do, and i find this book to compliment them well. If you have a problem with the idea of trying to be a better person and the effort that it involves, then you may not find this book useful. This book is mostly just words.(no pun intended) Although if you consider the harm that cruel words can do, then surely kind words can help to ease the pain of others? As long as the words are sincere, ... Read More:
