Where has Oprah Taken Us? by Stephen Mansfield
Scarlet

In the decades since Oprah became a media fixture, she has introduced the world to her best friend, her nutritionist, her interior designer, and her stylist. She has shared her favorite beauty products, her most cherished books, her philantropic endeavors, and her deepest secrets. In fact, there seems very little that Oprah is unwilling to share-particularly when it comes to the latest episodes in her never-ending spiritual journey.

New York Times best-selling author Stephen Mansfield traces the contours of Oprah's fascinating and influential life with a particular focus on Winfrey's quest for spiritual enlightenment. It is a well-publicized quest-one that features a caravan of experts, mystics, and gurus-all claiming to have a prescription for inner peace and personal well-being.

As the poster child for a generation of spiritual seekers and free-thinkers, Oprah has sent decades defining her spirituality as a form of empowerment that discourages absolutes and welcomes any ideas that appear useful, freely blending Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, and the Christianity of her troubled but formative youth.

Mansfield carefully reconstructs Oprah's life experiences and shows how they reflect our larger cultural journey. He also reveals why her spiritual discoveries have resonated so loudly among her fellow Baby Boomers and have secured her unprecedented influence in our adoring modern world. In so doing, Mansfield sheds light on the dangers of a spiritual journey fueled solely by the desire for self-actualization.

In the end, we find that the story of Oprah is, in fact, the story of us-of a generation desperately searching for something meaningful to believe in.



This book is about Oprah's biography and her spiritual beliefs. I found this book quite enlightening and engaging. Readers can relate to her spiritual life. If you're a big fan of Oprah and a christian, you must read this book. We all know that Oprah made a huge impact to everyone's life. She helped many lower income family, homeless and even lost people. She has a talent that brings smile to everyone. Even right now, she shared her experiences world wide. If your a follower of her, you know the Oprah's lifeclass. She's a wonderful woman with a good heart.

As Silver Refined by Kay Arthur
Scarlet

What can you do when life doesn't turn out like you planned?

How do you respond when your husband or wife tramples your emotions? When your boss fires you unexpectedly? When you lose your life's savings? When the child you've loved and prayed for turns his back on you and your values?

When disappointments like these smash their way into your life, you may want to scream, "How could God let this happen?"

But what if God didn't just "let it happen?" What if the things you call disappointments are really His appointments-events He is using to make you more like Christ? What if your circumstances are actually the flames of His grace, intended to melt and burn away the undesirable elements in your life, leaving you pure and radiant-like refined silver?
You can be defeated by life's unaviodable disappointments, or you can become stronger because of them.

Life's disapppointments can send you on a dangerous downward spiral into discouragement, depression, or even despair. But in this eye-opening book, Kay Arthur guides you to biblical truths that will help you break that cycle and instead embrace disappointment as the cleansing fire God uses to make you-as silver refined-a reflection of His goodness.

I was excited the moment I received this book. I like to read it right away because its about life disappointments. Honestly, I have plenty of that so I was wondering this book could help me. Unfortunately, when I read the book, I wasn't impress enough. I dont know but the book doesn't touch my heart that well. But I was lucky to received a copy of this from Waterbrook Multnomah Publishing group. You can get a copy of this at Barnes and Noble.

The Harvest of Grace by Cindy Woodsmall
Scarlet
Do you have a boyfriend or fiance? Is he really love you? How about a close sister that you trust most? What will you do if your fiance and sister betrayed you? Well, you better read this book because The Harvest of Grace is a story of love, grace, betrayal, trust and hard work. A great Amish fiction tale that you truly love. You can get a copy at Barnes and Noble. I received a complimentary copy of Harvest of Grace from Waterbrook Multnomah. Thank you very much.



Reeling from an unexpected betrayal, Sylvia makes a painful mistake that forces her to seek work far from her family.
Can she find relief from the echoes of her past...or will they shape her future forever?

Although Sylvia Fisher recognizes that most Old Order Amish women her age spend their hours managing a household and raising babies, she has just one focus-tending and nurturing the herd on her family's dairy farm. But when a dangerous connection with an old beau forces her to move far from home, she must concentrate on a new start and pour her energy into reviving a debt-ridden farm.

After months in rehab, Aaron Blank returns home to sell his Daed's failing farm and move his parents into an easier lifestyle. Two things stand in his way : the father who stubbornly refuses to recognize that Aaron has changed and the determined new farmhand his parents love like a daughter. Her influence on Aaron's parents could ruin his plans to escape the burdens of farming and build a new life.
Can Aaron and Sylvia find common ground? Or will their unflinching efforts toward opposite goals blur the bigger picture-one revealing the path to forgiveness, glimpses of grace, and the promise of love?

One Call Away by Brenda Warner
Scarlet
This book is great, I just finished reading it. I could not put this book down because I can relate part of her life. Her story is very uplifting and encouraging. She shares her struggles being a single mom because of her husband betrayal, the death of her parents in a tornado, and from poverty to being famous wife of NFL superstar and a millionaire, also she was a marine officer decided to be a stay home mom, as well as the miscarriages of two babies. I highly recommend this book to everyone. You can get a copy at Barnes and Noble. I just want to say thank you Booksneeze Company for providing me a free copy of this.




Brenda Warner is best known as the outspoken wife of NFL superstar and Dancing with the Stars alum Kurt Warner. But years earlier, she found herself living through any woman's nightmare; a healthy baby tragically injured in the bathtub; a sudden end to a career she loved; betrayal and divorce; poverty; public humiliation; a deadly natural disaster that destroyed her foundation and shook her to her core. One shattering phone call at a time. Brenda Warner's life came to resemble little of her dream.
But each time her plans fell apart, Brenda faced a choice; to collapse in the face of tragedy or press forward and survive. She chose to keep going. In the process, she's learned that the unexpected is only one call away. Her story provides hope and encouragement for anyone facing life's challenges and shows us that our circumstances don't tell us who we are, nor are they a measure of God's love. God has a plan for us, even when our plans fail. Brenda's life is proof that sometimes the best dreams are not the ones we dream. but the ones that come true when we least expect them.

Book: Dry as Rain by Gina Holmes
Scarlet
How is your marriage life? Is your wife unfaithful to you? How about your husband, is he cheating on you? Do you spent more time to each other? Are you making effort to maintain the love and respect? Well, this book is about marriage betrayal. If your marriage is in this stage I recommend that you get a copy of this book at Barnes and Noble. You will find out how betrayal usually started, how to cope and deal with acceptance and forgiveness or be a martyr partner for the rest of your life. A very interesting story that will help your marriage survive. Anyway, the Tyndale House Publishers provided me a free copy of this book. Again, thank you and more power!


When Eric and Kyra Yoshida first met, they thought their love would last forever. But like many marriages, theirs has gradually crumbled, one thought less comment and misunderstanding at a time, until the ultimate betrayal pushes them beyond reconciliation. Though Eric longs to reunite with Kyra, the only woman he has truly loved, he has no idea how to repair the damage that's been done.

Then a car accident erases part of Kyra's memory - including her separation from Eric - and a glimmer of hope rises from the wreckage. Is this a precious opportunity for the fresh start Eric has longed for? Does he even deserve the chance to find forgiveness and win back Kyra's heart...or will the truth blow up in his face, shattering their last hope for happiness?

A richly engaging story of betrayal and redemption, Dry as Rain illuminates with striking emotional intensity the surprising truth of what it means to forgive.

Anyway, I would like to thank the Booksneeze for sending this for free.I love working with you guys.


"So today I've been thinking about...things that bind us. The thought flitted around my mind and then landed for a while, likely because I was wearing a pair of too-tight heans."

Women of Faith speaker and author Lisa Harper relates from experience-life can be uncertain, sometimes even scary. But with a witty twinkle in her eye and a Bible in her hand, she describes what it's like to find real security in the arms of a Savior who doesn't just notice us but who moves heaven and earth on our behalf.

Part diary, part devotional, Stumbling into Grace weaves hilarious and poignant stories from Lisa's own life with intimate and transformational encounters from the life of Christ. Prayers, reflection questions, and journal prompts help women deep into biblical truths to better understanding how our Redeemer's compassion, affection and constancy make every single moment of life not only more enjoyable but well worth living!

Book: The Golden Pathway by Donna M. McDine
Scarlet
If you have kids or relatives age 8 - 12 years old, I suggest to inform them about this book. A great story about slavery in the United States of America happened before the civil war. Believe it or not back then children were extremely abused by their own parents. Thats true, they were treated so bad. Children were suffered and struggled so hard to find ways to elope from their evil parents. Poorly, human rights wasn't existed at that time thats why parents can easily get away without punishment. This story will help young children to understand what is right and wrong, to speak and stand up for them selves without fear. An interesting story that you should read and pass on to your children. I strongly recommend this to all parents, teachers and children this will be a good discussion topic. You can purchase this at barnes & noble.

I was so blessed to received free e-book direct from the author, Donna M. McDine. Thank you for sharing this wonderful story. My daughter want me to read this every night before she go to bed. She learned a lot from this story.



Raised in a hostile environment where abuse occurs daily, David attempts to break the mold and befriends the slave, Jenkins, owned by his Pa. Fighting against extraordinary times and beliefs, David leads Jenkins to freedom with no regard for his own safety and possible consequences dealt out by his Pa. Suggested age for readers: 8-12

A young nurse, Sara Dautry - whose autistic brother, Vince, has been arrested for the murder of their Catholic priest - decides to conduct her own investigation. Refusing to believe that he committed the crime, even though he was found at the murder scene with the alleged weapon, she convinces her former nursing - school study group to help her prove his innocence by using hypnosis to travel back to the moment of the crime.
When the FBI finds out her plan, they try to stop her by using weather manipulation. They fear that if she does find out the truth about the priest's murder, she will want to go public with the information - especially since it could incriminate them.
And when the Vatican learns that the crime scene was damaged by wind to possibly hide evidence, they think the U.S. government may have been involved.
Then for fear of hostility between the Vatican and the U.S., the CIA launches their own investigation.
Along the way, Sara learns that Dutch artist Vincent Van Gogh and the Shroud of Turin have some hidden secrets that could change the way believers think about the Roman Catholic Church. She also learns that its not always a good idea to experiment with science.
Thus by unraveling a massive conspiracy involving powerful political players, Sara's life - as well as the lives of her friends and family - is put in danger.

Book: No He Can't by Kevin McCullough
Scarlet
If you like politics, I think this book is what you're looking for. You'll get a lot of tactics on how to run and win in any public office. If you idolize President Barack Obama, his political strategy was clearly stated in this book. Aside from that, you'll learn how to give heavy criticism to certain politician. The author of this book bravely expressed his negative thoughts to the President of the United States. He sharply criticized the Obama's administration. Obviously his not a big fan of him which I totally understood. In my point of view, I thought he can provide affordable health care insurance to all Americans. He even fought to overhaul the entire health care plan and signed the bill. I just don't get it why until now lower income family cant afford to buy it eventhough they have two jobs. Is that what he promised? Well, I think we need more prayers on that. Anyway, you can purchase this book at barnesandnoble.


How Barack Obama is dismantling hope and change
By Kevin McCullough
"Yes We Can! Yes We Can! Yes We Can!"
Accepting his party's presidential nomination in the summer of 2008, Barack Obama beamed while Denver's stadium rock with gauzy chants from adoring admirers. But looming beyond the deafening roar was a harsh reality that too few were willing to face just yet: Some "hope" is too audacious to believe, and just because a smooth stalker proclaims something, doesn't make it true.
Now, long after the honeymoon has ended and the national mood soured toward the 44th U.S. President, nationally syndicated radio talk-show host and columnist Kevin McCullough - the first pundit to predict Obama's rise to the presidency - provides an alarming perspective on the man he has watched closely since the aspiring commander-in-chief was an obscure community organizer on Chicago's South Side.
You'll learn:
  • How Barack Obama's first act as President was to sign into law taxpayer-funded abortion
  • How his administration has systematically and intentionally created federal dependents
  • Why Obama's actions prove he believes American Exceptionalism is a myth
  • The outrageous lenghts the president is willing to go to as he undermines our national security

From Obama's radical economic policy and dubious skills in national security to his administration's disdain for individual liberty and constitutional constraints on the power of the executive branch. McCullough lays out a convincing case for why, early on, he labeled Obama "one of the most dangerous politicians our generation will see."

Yet the story doesn't end there.

Book: Out of a Far Country
Scarlet
Its a good story about homosexuality. I have some family and friends who's battling in their sexual identity thats the reason why I picked this book. I want to know whats going on with their life. I want to understand their own world. How the family accept the truth and manage the situation. This book tells me everything I want to know. It's definitely worth reading, if you knew someone who have same issue like this suggest this book. You can purchase at Barnes and Noble or Amazon.com.

Christopher Yuan, the son of Chinese immigrants, discovered at an early age that he was different. He was attracted to other boys. As he grew into adulthood, his mother, Angela, hoped to control the situation. Instead, she found that her son and her life were spiraling out of control - and her own personal demons were determined to defeat her.

Years of heartbreak, confusion, and prayer followed before the Yuans found a place of complete surrender, which is God's desire for all families. Their amazing story, told from the perspectives of both mother and son, offers hope for anyone affected by homosexuality.

God calls all who are lost to come home to him. Casting a compelling vision for holy sexuality, Out of a Far Country speaks to prodigals, parents of prodigals, and those wanting to minister to the gay community.

Book For Sale: Mother Teresa , Come And See
Scarlet




A photojournalist's journey into the world of Mother Teresa
by Linda Schaefer
According to statistics maintained by the Catholic Church, there were 81,551 nuns working in the subcontent of India in 2000- more than those assigned to Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh put together. These numbers are even more interesting when one considers that Christians represent only ten percent of the religious population of India - and where Hindus constitute 806,366,000 and Muslims total 127,131,000.


Among those nuns active in India are the amazing Sisters who work with the Missionaries of Charity founded in 1949 by a frail, tiny woman, born Agnes Gonzha Bojazhu in Macedonia (now Yugoslavia) in 1910 and who the world today knows as Mother Teresa. Awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979 and recognized in 2002 by Pope John Paul II for performing a miracle - the first step toward sainthood, Mother Teresa dedicated her life to the comfort and care of the needy, sick and poor. The Pope waived the customary five year waiting period to begin the canonization process out of his deep admiration for her dedication to the destitute.

When Mother Teresa died at age 87 in 1997, she left behind a well-trained organization that today continues her work in countries around the world. Her order is the fastest growing throughout the Church. The work she performed, and that continues to be carried out by her Sisters, has been described as "heroic virtues" and the Missionaries of Charity are seen as a "world emblem of Christian charity." Once cleric described the depths of Mother Teresa's holiness by saying that it placed her among the ranks of the great mystics in the history of Christianity.
In 1995 a former photojournalist for CNN, Linda Schaefer, had a chance meeting with Mother Teresa during a visit to Atlantam Georgia. Schaefer, who was given an opportunity to do a photo story for the Cable News Network, decided to turn the assignment into an adventure-a journey into the world of Mother Teresa.

Book For Sale: The Marilyn Monroe Scandal
Scarlet


Marilyn Monroe died twenty six years ago, but the legends surroundings the tragic star have only grown with time. The strange circumstances of her life and death have resulted in many books and many distortions of the truth. Sandra Shevey, a feature columnist of London and Hollywood, came to know the people who had been Marilyn's friends. She was shocked by the discrepancies between the woman they described and the brainless, promiscuous, professionally unrealiable, drug-crazed, and suicidal woman portrayed in the many articles and books written about her.
The Marilyn Scandal sets the record straight. Professionally, Marilyn was a supremely talented actress and a consummate perfectionist. Her business acumen led her, by the age of thirty, to be president of her own production company, making its debut with The Prince and the Showgirl. She was romantic but not promiscuous. Most of her relationship lasted many years, and few can doubt the depth of her attachment to John F. Kennedy.

Book For Sale: Jack and Jackie Kennedy , Portrait of American Marriage
Scarlet






Theirs was one of the great love stories of our time. Indeed, John Fitzgerald Kennedy and his wife, Jacqueline Lee Bouvier, captured and have held the world's imagination as perhaps no other husband and wife in modern history. Yet despite the billions of words that have been written about this most golden of couples, the true nature of their relationship has been veiled in mystery and mystique.
Until now. With stunning information from important sources, some of whom were sworn to secrecy until Jackie's death in May 1994, and previously sealed archival material, international best-selling author Christopher Andersen examines their unique partnership and the courage, grace and humor that defined it. In the manner of Joseph Lash's insightful Eleanor and Franklin, Jack and Jackie is packed with startling revelations about the secrets and events that shaped their lives, including:
  • Never - before - known details of their courtship, and the other men Jackie almost married
  • The world famous women whose romances with JFK have previously been unreported, including Audrey Hepburn
  • The shocking truth about Jack's medical condition, and how, as with FDR, the disturbing truth was concealed from the press and the public
  • Their concern about infertility, and Jackie's troubled pregnancies; the way Caroline and John Jr. transformed their lives - and the touching story of how the death of their infant son Patrick brought Jack and Jackie closer than they had every been, only months before Dallas

An inspiring, sympathetic and compelling look at two mythic figures, Jack and Jackie is more than just the definitive portrait of their marriage. It is a glittering fairy tale, a stirring saga of triumph and tragedy, and - above all else - a love story.

Christopher Andersen is the critically acclaimed author of sixteen books, which have been translated into more than twenty languages worldwide. A former contributing editor of Time and Senir editor of People, Andersen has also written hundreds of articles for a wide range of publications including Life magazine and The New York Times.

Book For Sale: The Kennedy Women
Scarlet





As Rose had said so many years ago, the Kennedys were like a nation unto themselves, with their own private language and customs. They invited friends into their lives, but there was always a distance between themselves and others.
- from The Kennedy Women
Now, for the first time, bestselling author, journalist, and social historian Laurence Leamer bridges that distance in what is unquestionably the most warmly empathetic and intimate study of the Kennedys to date.
Monumental in scope and extraordinary in sensitivity, The Kennedy Women chronicles five matrilineal generations in our nation's premier political dynasty. Not merely distinguished cultural history, it is a story of epic sweep, brimming with triumph and tragedy, courage and compliance, self - sacrifice and self - dillusion.
Moving from steerage on an immigrant vessel to the slums of Boston, from the Court of St. James to the White House and beyond, The Kennedy Women paints startling, in depth portraits of the mothers, wives, sisters and daughters who stood beside some of the most dynamic men of the twentieth century through occasions of great opulence and heartbreak, victory and scandal. Among its revelations:
  • How Rose's marriage almost ended on her wedding day
  • The poignantly detailed life stories of mentally challenged Rosemary and the glorious, lost Kathleen
  • Jackie's near death in the weeks before the inauguration
  • Eunice's struggle, despite chronic illness, to build the Special Olympics
  • A long-guarded account of Rose's response to Chappaquiddick
  • Jean Kennedy Smith's and the family's private reactions to the William Kennedy Smith rape charges
  • Jackie's gallant battle to live and die with dignity and privacy
  • The unique challenges and pressures confronting future Kennedy matriachs Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg, Maria Shriver Schwarzenegger, Kerry Kennedy Cuomo, Kathleen Kennedy Townsend and Rory Kennedy

Here, finally, is the women's story; even those who feel they know all there is to know about the Kennedys will discover how much more there is to the story. For five years, Laurence Leamer researched this book, receiving unprecedented cooperation from family members, interviewing scores of relatives and close associates, gaining access to hundreds of personal documents. Included are thirty-two pages of rare and fascinating family photographs.

The Kennedy Women combines exhaustive and superb scholarship with a gripping narrative that will alter forever our perception of America's royal family.

Laurence Leamer has authored seven other books, including the bestselling King of the Night: The life of Johnny Carson, As Time Goes By: The Life of Ingrid Bergman, and Make Believe: The Story of Nancy and Ronald Reagan. He has written for Harper's, Playboy, People, New York, The Washingtonian, and The New York Times Magazine, among others. He divides his time between Washington, D.C. and Palm Beach, Florida.
