Publisher's Summary:

Coming to church for spiritual sustenance can be like going to a restaurant for meals. It's all prepared for you and served to you by someone else. A far better way to get your spiritual nourishment is to learn how to get the "ingredients" and prepare the "meals" for yourself.

In this series, Skip Heitzig and the Calvary pastoral staff teach how to study the Bible on your own and apply it - how to really "feast on the Word" and satisfy the deepest needs of your heart.

On a steamy, hot day in the middle of a Florida summer, Barry drove a stake in the ground, and said out loud, "Enough". He stood up and admitted to himself that he was in a terrible funk and had been for quite some time. He was stuck and felt exhausted. He cared about very little and had withdrawn from everyone around him. Happiness was non-existent. Barry had lost his spirit and no longer felt as though he was in charge of his life.

In this easy listen, Barry chronicles his climb out of the "black hole" and offers his listeners a mini-course on how to say goodbye to your funk and take charge of your life. Being down in the dumps cannot co-exist with happiness. Barry asserts if you recognize you're in a funk, it's time to stop being "funked-up" and start getting fueled up - happiness does not have to be elusive. You can get energy, zest, and excitement for life.

The choice is yours: do nothing, get nothing. Start doing and get happy. Every journey begins with the decision to take the first step. Go ahead and take your first step - make the decision to purchase this book. Follow the practical advice, tips and strategies it offers, and you will be on your way to taking charge of your life and feeling happy once again.

Members Reviews:

the "tool" I needed to help myself; practical, easy to read, helpful

I absolutely recommend Overcoming Your Funk (OYF)! It is easy-to-read and easy-to-apply to your life. Like the title says, it is practical, but not only is it practical, it is HELPFUL! Getting out of my personal funk was something that I knew I couldn't do alone. It started with a single decision -- to look for outside assistance, tools, and advice to help me help myself. I found all three in this book! My funk wasn't the lowest that I have been but I certainly needed a kick start to climb out of my "black hole". I am grateful that this book has given some more tools in my tool chest of managing through life (and a new funky language to describe how I was feeling). Next time I start to notice that I am feeling a bit "low", or in a funk, I will re-read OYF. I think that the next time I read it, it will help me to STAY OUT of a potential funk!

The times I think that I will read OYF again are when I...

...am "in the dumps".

...am at my bottom.

...have lost my motivation.

...do not know what to do next.

...am so stuck that I don't even know where to start.

...am too proud to ask others for help until I first make the choice to help myself.

It is a book I am keeping in the front of my bookshelf and plan to share with my friends and family when they experience some tough times. IT IS THE TOOL THAT I NEEDED TO HELP MYSELF.

Worth Reading

Inspirational with concrete steps to help each person in a funk! Clearly expressed advice with personal examples. A worthwhile read for us all.

Don't bother.

This book is not that great. If you've read any other self help books, this is like a "starter" book.

Written in 1893, this short little book is timeless and very weighty! I highly recommend it.

Defintely a worth while read! It will move and make you smile

Im not sure I can find the words to adequately describe what I've read. But I felt like my thoughts were put on paper. Questions in my heart answered and many anxieties put to rest. And I loved that she spoke as a woman in general and only in the end added the bigger plus for me of being a christian woman. Thank you Anna

A topic covered likely to maintain the interest of many

The part of dreams that maintain my attention most are when my senses seem just as real as in my waking state. And my senses of vision and willpower both were like this before. Willpower once, vision at least three times. There are many different dream interpretations books, but it can be difficult for a person to remember a book which covers different topics pertaining to dreams, which is what this book has.

So far there were at least two dream interpretation in this book that seemed to be past coincidence for me.

The third paragraph on page 8 will likely motivate just about any person to look through this book, especially if the person had dreams that he could recall around the time he saw this. The book also contains various historical and religious references to dreams. Also, I was able to relate to pages 101 and 102 of it. Pages 110 and 111 have one of my favorite parts of the entire book though. Page 86 has what I see as a really impressive assumption as to why dreams happen, and anybody regardless of beliefs will likely agree that this assumption is probable. There's also the mention of a claim about what causes sleep as well as the physical purpose of sleep on page 27.

The end of page 25 and beginning of page 26 includes a point that can cause you to ask people you know if they saw you in their last dreams. If they explain an environment that seems familiar to you, then you can explain your dream more to the other person and try to find out if it seems familiar with that individual.

After reading pages 23 to 27 you will probably see the topic of dreams in general in a totally different way. The fourth paragraph on page 16 and the top of page 177 are most direct about this view, and are is by far my favorite parts of the book the reader will have reassurance of what a major view the author has about dreams is. Pages 119 and 124 are considerable for this view as well. So is the fifth point made on 176. Also pages 119 and 124 can be considered for this view. So can the fifth point made on page 176. Page 16 also gives me more motivation to think more about dreams.

Page 113 includes a reason to partake in lucid dreaming that one could find very persuasive.

I'm really impressed with the second paragraph on page 115. It perfectly explains a situation I was in with a lucid dream, and it's hard for me to believe that someone else actually noticed the same thing that I noticed about a possibility during a lucid dream.

In her often hilarious, no-nonsense style, Teasi's gut-honest journey and transparent insights will propel every one of us who struggles with...you name it - bad hair or chubby cheeks, skinny arms or wide hips - to realize our value and beauty...even if nothing ever changes on the outside.

Love it! Laughed,Cried and Shared it with my girls

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would, and have, recommended it to my friends (girls) because, even if you aren't overwieght, if you live in this society you have most likely taken on some negative body images as society fixates and perpetuates the "perfect" womanly form of super thin. As if being 5'11" and 120 pounds is the only standard of acceptable beauty there is.

Teasi boldy shares her life, her insecurities, and her pain, but she does it with humor and grace. You will find yourself laughing at times, and other times in tears for the places along her journey that were sad, if not downright horrific. Yet, she has no tone of self pity. She has a humor and a confidence of a conqueror.

What was one of the most memorable moments of My Big Bottom Blessing?

There are so many. Two stand out. One when she asked for God's healing and she felt Him walk with her into her past, to the age of 7 years old, when her Uncle bound, gagged and raped her. Memorable because of the BEAUTIFUL way that God turns this memory around and affirms how much Teasai is loved, adored and how precious she is, and always has been, and that God/Jesus NEVER left her side, not even in that darkest of moments. A tear jerker, if not outright sobs! :) But it really is A FEEL GOOD STORY.

The second one was when Teasai's husband were vacationing and staying in a motel, he asked her to join him down at the pool one evening. At first she declined, but the second night he practically begged her to join him, so she trudged into the bathroom to put on her "humiliation" suit....hilarity ensues and she describes the process of getting that tight, stretchy, clingy, spandex up her body and over her hips, tugging and pullying, hips gyrating....If you have ever HATED bathing suit season, you will laugh yourself silly.

What about Pam Wards performance did you like?

I LOVED Pam's performance!! She has great tone, influx, and was totally believable! One of the BEST performances EVER. Pam Ward was amazing and her performance added a lot to my listening pleasure and enjoyment.

What did you learn from My Big Bottom Blessing that you would use in your daily life?

We are so precious, so loved, regardless of our size. Quit believing Satan's lies.Lighten up, and know you ARE Beautiful because God made you so!!!

Any additional comments?

This audiobook is a real blessing.

My heart is fulled with love

This book is written with love and grace. It has brought me so much peace and love. Reading this book i felt I was living in a different world.

Helps us to reflect what matters the most.

I will buy a handful to give out during the holidays.

It's a beautiful and lovely gift.

Her Best Material

Collections of Mother Teresa's writings and speeches are numerous and widely available. This little book compiles some of her most penetrating spiritual insights in the form of a novena. Each day of it is powerful. While other compilations of Mother Teresa often duplicate material, this short book (originally a booklet published by the Missionaries of Charity), brings together some of her most lucid and deep reflections on our relationship with Jesus. Personally, I find that these selections are among her best, and in such an accessible format.

Nice

Nice... very thin book...

The vacuum filler, the hope of the world, ...

The vacuum filler, the hope of the world, the saviour, the light of the world, the Prince of Peace and the owner of the universe. Therefore, having HIM as my portion is the ULTIMATE GIFT EVER. YES, JESUS IS MY ALL IN ALL.

Release date: 11-08-11

Publisher: HarperAudio

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 4 votes

Publisher's Summary:

In this compassionate and powerful healing guide, Dr. Bernie Siegel, the author of the triumphant best sellers Love, Medicine & Miracles and Peace, Love & Healing, provides listeners with healthy ways to respond to life's adversities.

Critic Reviews:

"Bernie Siegel is a surgeon whose philosophy is that love, hope and respect prolong lives more consistently than medical science. In this program he backs his assertions with anecdotes from his years of medical practice. The presentation is delightful. Siegel reads with a voice that laughs but also lets the listener believe it can cry. There's obligatory elevator music at some transitions. Otherwise, the program is outstanding, with impeccable sound quality." (AudioFile)

Members Reviews:

After reading Dr Siegel's beautifully written introduction and checking all the chapters

I sent for this book to give to a friend. After reading Dr Siegel's beautifully written introduction and checking all the chapters, I have decided to get a copy for myself, just to learn more about what my friend and so many others are dealing with.

A GEM of guidance everyone should read

Dr. Bernie Siegel has a very kind and special way to guide the reader to understanding life and the challenges that some may face. He helps you to see things in a different way, possibly opening the potential to allow miracles to happen to you and perhaps others around you. A very good read, Let's just say that I thought this book was so good, I order and shipped a copy to most all the people I know and love.

Five Stars
