Critic Reviews:

"A complete and practical guide to the foundation of the spiritual journey...The vividness of the storeis is absorbing." (New Age Book Review)

Members Reviews:

Amazing! all of it.

This narration was well-paced and a great voice for the book. Just loved it. Will listen to it many times. Congruent with material in Autobiography of a Yogi as well.

In Its Own Little World

The author claims all kinds of physical miracles, and does not come across as believable or wise. A lot of what he says is very dogmatic, and seems focused on proving that his particular branch of practice is best, and his masters are the greatest. He decries ego while demonstrating ego on every page. It's terribly disappointing, but I did learn much from reading it -- however, the lessons I learned probably were not the ones the author thought he was giving.

The narration is in a strong British-Indian accent, by the way. The narrator is competent much of the time, but does mispronounce several words in ways that can be very distracting.

Very Good Read!!

Where does Living with the Himalayan Masters rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far?

Like Autobiography of a Yogi, this books gives to a lot of living experiences of Swami Rama. The narrator's voice is very clear and very good pronunciation of eastern names and scriptural references.

The real energy Drink

It was really nice to know how such yogis undergo such a hard time at the same time they take the hardship as pleasant game played by God and challenging the same to attain the ultimate goal of every mankind " The Love Of God". Highly inspiring. It really got deep into my mind and made me to think deep.

Love Swami Rama

Amazing book, great summary of spiritual teachings of Himalayan masters and in general. It was great reminder for me of all I need to practice myself. Thank you

Title: A Journal for Jordan

Subtitle: A Story of Love and Honor

Author: Dana Canedy

Narrator: Dana Canedy

Format: Abridged

Length: 5 hrs and 18 mins

Language: English

Release date: 12-30-08

Publisher: Random House Audio

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Publisher's Summary:

A Journal for Jordan is a mother's letter to her son - fierce in its honesty - about the father he lost before he could even speak. It is also a father's advice and prayers for the son he will never know.

Critic Reviews:

"This tragic story of love and war reminds all Americans that we are fortunate to have people like Sgt. Charles King, willing to die for our country. Dana Canedy bears witness to the enduring power of love, to Sgt. King's heroism and his unfailing devotion to his family and his men." (Caroline Kennedy)

"This book is a living, breathing legacy. It's full of wonderful treasures offered by a unique and spirited father, whose loving words of wisdom to his infant son are a rite of passage that will transform us all. It is written with serene grace: part memoir, part love story, all heart." (James McBride, author of The Color of Water)

"Dana Canedy's moving memoir has captured my heart and won't let it go. Courageous in its honesty and at times unsettling, it draws us deep into the soul of a woman in love, the pain of her loss and the unpardonable theft of hopes and dreams, lives and futures stolen by war. With an exquisite voice, Canedy recounts moments of intense emotion that haunt us long after savoring the last lines. I didn't want it to end." (Susan L. Taylor, Editor-in-Chief Emeritus, Essence, and founder of the National Cares Mentoring Movement)

Members Reviews:

Great read!!!

This novel was suggested to be by someone, and I reluctantly decided to read it. After easily getting through the first few pages, I was so glad that I had started reading. What an amazing love story! There was such a realness to this book that I was sad to see it end.

Beautiful story!!!

I went through an entire box of Kleenex reading this book. Thank you for sharing this beautiful love story with us Dana. Your Charles was an amazing man and It's not fair that he left this world far too soon. Jordan is beautiful and I will always think of you both and wish for you to have happiness and peace. I lost my father at the age of 7, he was in the Navy and killed on active duty in the Indian Ocean. My baby brother was 3 months old and my father only had 13 days with him after his birth. Your story touched my heart deeply, knowing the pain of much of it personally. My heartfelt condolences to you and your sweet son. Again, thank you for this book.

A Journal For Jordan Inspirational And Heartwarming

A Journal for Jordan

A Story of Love and Honor

Random House

Written by Dana Canedy

Available in Hardcover and Paperback

In 2005, First Sergeant Charles Monroe King began to write what would become a two-hundred-page journal for his son in case he did not make it home from the war in Iraq. Charles King, forty-eight, was killed on October 14, 2006, when an improvised explosive device detonated under his Humvee on an isolated road near Baghdad. His son, Jordan, was seven months old.

A Journal for Jordan is a mother's LETTER to her son-fierce in its honesty-about the father he lost before he could even speak. It is also a father's advice and prayers for the son he will never know.

He finished the journal two months before his death while home on a two-week leave, so intoxicated with love for his infant son that he barely slept.

Finally, this is the story of Dana and Charles together-two seemingly mismatched souls who loved each other deeply.

Publisher: Simon & Schuster UK

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Publisher's Summary:

One of Britain's best-loved actresses, Brenda Blethyn has dazzled in a vast number of roles, including her performances as downtrodden Cynthia in Mike Leigh's Secrets And Lies and as the man-eating Mari Hoff in Little Voice, for which she received Oscar nominations.

Title: Keep Walking

Subtitle: One Man's Journey to Feed the World One Child at a Time

Author: Larry Jones

Narrator: Chris Fabry

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7 hrs and 6 mins

Language: English

Release date: 12-10-08

Publisher: Oasis Audio

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Publisher's Summary:

He started by shipping surplus American wheat to Haiti, which led to developing a child-sponsorship program. For the last 28 years, Jones, his family and his staff have organized enormous relief efforts for some of the world's worst crises-Ethiopian famines, the Bosnian war, the Murrah building bombing, 9/11 and Katrina. Although Jones structures this as a memoir, starting with his idyllic boyhood in Bowling Green, Ky., and his first experiences preaching, his real focus is on the development of his organization Feed The Children. Even without its prominent endorsement from Rick Warren (The Purpose-Driven Life), this inspirational story should reach a wide audience.

Members Reviews:

THE POWER OF ONE

Every person of any religion should be forever humbled after reading this book. This story tells us of Larry Joneses childhood then leads us through his faith as a Christian that he holds true to and lives by, reguardless of what takes place in his life. He started out wanting to help just one child in need. Today through him millions are given a chance to survive through his charity Feed The Children, that offers food, clothing, shelter, compassion and more to starving, helpless and hopeless fellow human brothers and sister. While our government deals with red tape, Larry, his wife Frances, FTC staff with help from us, get the job done! Great read but don't stop there!

Keep Walking: One Man's Journey To Feed The World One Child at a Time

This is an excellent account of what one person did to set up a world relief organization that feeds, provides medical care, etc., for countless children and families worldwide. The book is an honest account of the struggles and successes, the ups and downs, faced by the organization Feed The Children. It shows what one person can do if that person is serious about meeting the needs of the world's needy. I would highly recommend this book to everyone who asks the question: "What can I do to help those in need or to help make the world a better place?"

Humbling and Gracious

I was mesmerized by the humility and grace expressed by Larry Jones in this touching story of his ministry. Surprisingly, he brings the reader into the deepest and most compelling events of the very viable ministry of Feed The Children. I had no idea of the scope of this ministry and the amazing management it takes to bring desperately needed aid to every corner of the earth. Larry and Frances, to me, are in the same category of Mother Theresa and St. Francis of Assisi--God driven and supplied to help the most needful of God's creatures. They have quietly, for years, "done it unto the least of these, My brethren..." A great read.

A memoir of an extraordinary family - unexpectedly poor and forced to live on their wits amidst 1970s South African affluence. Tim Ecott's story is at times poignant, funny, affecting and moving. It's also more than a little bizarre.

A bit sad but it brought back lots of memories

This book is about the kind of life an immigrant family in the 50's experienced in South Africa.A bit sad but it brought back lots of memories, because it mentioned many places known to me.

Great book!

A very well written book and fascinating story of a young man growing up between two countries. Seeing and experiencing the rise and decline of certain areas in Jo'burg brakes your heart but people do survive.

Fun Read

Brings back so many memories of my working days at the Jhb Gen.We spent so many evenings wandering around Hillbrow

Title: My Grandfather's House

Author: Robert Clark

Narrator: Brian Keeler

Format: Unabridged

Length: 11 hrs and 11 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-22-08

Publisher: Recorded Books

Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Publisher's Summary:

When Henry VIII broke with the Roman Catholic Church at the end of the Middle Ages, Robert Clark's ancestors went with him. Eventually the Puritans among them made it to the American colonies. One of them, a doctor, was present at the Salem witch trials. A more recent relative, a cousin of Ralph Waldo Emerson, added Transcendentalism to the Clark legacy. Using a genealogy more colorful than most, Robert Clark has created an insightful, historically rich autobiography. Brian Keeler's warm narration leaves listeners inspired by the author's personal journey and invites them to ask some thoughtful questions of their own.

Members Reviews:

Posing Questions Most of Us Might Ask at Some Time

A man with a historian's soul wrote this book, going even beyond the Harvard professor/host of "Finding Your Roots" on PBS-TV who guides celebrities on their genealogical quests. Robert Clark's quest is about his family history of faith and doubt, rather than about DNA. Yet it poses questions that most of us might ask at some time in our lives.

Like many Americans, 500 years ago, all of Clark's ancestors were Roman Catholic. During the reign of Henry VIII, they became Protestant, presumably Anglican. By 350 years ago, his ancestors immigrated and became "all kinds of Protestants and atheist" Americans. Then, two weeks before his own baby was baptized Catholic, Clark was "taken back" into the Catholic Church. The statements he makes about his own journey may be entirely subjective, or may be fairly common. For instance:

"Committed atheists who with perfect untroubled assurance believe or want to believe in something beyond quotidian reality are rare."

"For most people, disbelief is neither an idea or conviction but an unresolved question, unmet aspiration, a fulfillment unable to bring about or even imagine."

"Faith has more to do with the imagination, with how we see and what we can envision, than in reason or will."

From such an imagination, Clark found a "disposition toward God and a sense of God's disposition towards us." Then, he rethought what kind of person he was, and contemplated whether he was loved by a Holy Spirit for or in spite of himself.

Whether his journey was common or unique, I don't know. But the questions he poses make fascinating reading to those intrigued with the ties of faith to skepticism, and why and how one comes to embrace belief in a Holy Spirit from a stance totally alienated to such a change of heart and mind.

Great Storyteller + Great Story= Great Read

The author is certainly not a theologian, but he is a magnificent storyteller. I read this book primarily for the story of the author, but found myself pulled into the tale of his English ancestors, something that I would not have read about under normal circumstances. I enjoyed very much his weaving together of his own personal spiritual journey with that of his forbearers.

While the other reviewer thought that his description of Lutheranism was off base (I agree), I would remark that the Universalist or Puritan trajectory of the Reformation was not an illogical outcome given some of the premises of Luther, Calvin, and Zwingli concerning the nature of revelation, the church, the bible, matter, redemption, damnation and self.

This is not about stories about Miracles at end's journey! This a audiobook talks, talks and and nothing but talks lies.

If you are looking for stories abot Special Miracles at JOurney's End, then don't be fooled. This not a collection of stories as I has desribed above. All the woman does is talks about herself and not about the topic, which the audionbook is not about at all!!!!!!!!

If you are looking for a audiobook about maracles about the Miracles at Journey's End, then don't be fooled about what it says it is about on the cover!!!!!!!!!! If you are looking for better audionbooks about Miracles, then may I suggest looking for better audiobooks

about the topic and believe that if it give a full desription about the audiobook, then I suggest that you don't order this audiobook if you don't want to waste your money and be dissapointed, Because this audiobook is a tremendous dissapoinment and nothing but a dissapointing letdown, Also, this audiobook only hast 1 cd in it and no more which was diassapointing because I love audiooks

that hast about 5, 6, 7, or 8 cds which is why you get your money's worth.
