Creation or Evolution: Do We Have to Choose?

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Religion and Spirituality
by: Denis Alexander

July 18, 2008
This book is written from the perspective of a Christian geneticist. His writing is informed by his knowledge of this fast moving field.

Like the majority of Christians who are professional scientists, he is willing to be tentative in his conclusions. Believing that there is much we don't yet (and may never) understand about how God chose to create mankind.

He points out the danger of poor theology and poor science creating stumbling blocks. Such stumbling blocks can stop the good news of Christ Jesus being heard, so we should choose our words carefully when we discuss such a hot subject, otherwise we may create more heat than light.

Denis Alexander believes God is the creator, and created in a way ... Read More:

Mindfulness in Plain English

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Religion and Spirituality
by: Bhante Henepola Gunaratana

September 30, 2002
I have been interested in Buddhism and meditation for many years and have been waiting all that time for a book that is a true 'nuts and bolts' manual of how to meditate. This is the first book I have found that I can totally recommend. It covers the subject with honesty, humour and an amazing level of clarity. For a beginner or experienced meditator, there is no better book that I have seen.

Also, the author has integrity and comes from the traditional Theravada school of Buddhism - beware that there are quite a few dodgy modern 'schools' that use the name of Buddhism in vain. If you are new to Buddhism, I strongly recommend the Theravada school (e.g. Amaravati monastery in the UK).

A minor point and it doesn't detract ... Read More:

Complete Relaxation (Divinity)

by: Glenn Harrold

2000-01
While this cd is obviously tailored towards a stress filled society and is to be recommended for that I personally enjoy the relaxing music `tears of spring which I got from amazon.co.uk. The cd I possess have a variety of stunning sounds tailored towards the relaxation market which I can recommend anyone looking into this particular genre. If you like the feeling of floating away from your problems then this cd will do it

Many Lives, Many Masters: The True Story of a Prominent Psychiatrist, His Young Patient and the Past-life Therapy That Changed Both Their Lives

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Religion and Spirituality
by: Brian L. Weiss

June 23, 1994
As I am neither a full believer in that which we can not see, nor am i a full blown skeptic, I felt i was facing this book with an open mind. It is very well written and if you are to believe in what it says, it is a beautiful thing to feel is both ahead of us and behind us!
Dr. Weiss fails in only one place for me - He does not clearly show how he came to so strongly believe this lady was not 'pulling the wool over his eyes'. Apart from the comment about his son, noothing else really makes me feel this could be a definite truth. He mentions that he checked up dates and etc. she was speaking of, but never elaborates on this which left me feeling slightly frustrated.
I must state here that I am being slightly over-negative towards the book here ... Read More:

The David Icke Guide to the Global Conspiracy (and How to End It)

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Religion and Spirituality
by: David Icke

2007-10
I have read a few of books from David Icke and they are all equally fascinating. This book is more then that. I recommend this to every person alive today, even a slight interest in the subject matter and you will be hooked. His delivery and his research are second to none. This man is Britains number one journalist. If not the world. I will be writing more once i have finished the book, lol.

Not Without My Sister: The True Story of Three Girls Violated and Betrayed by Those They Trusted

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Religion and Spirituality
by: Kristina Jones, Celeste Jones, Juliana Buhring

January 07, 2008
In a world filled with crime and death, war and poverty, many seek the salvation of religion to overcome.
We hear many stories about cults in America, stories of teenagers leaving then people they love to stay in communes where they are brainwashed, humiliated, abused and used.
This is the true accounts of three sisters who had no choice but to be born into one of these cults, the children of god.
From a very early age these poor children were systematically abused physically and mentally by the adult members of the group.
How these girls triumphed over these sick people astounds me and I congratulate them and hope that their lives are not tainted by these evil people.
This cult is still going and the story of these girls is a warning ... Read More:

The Bible: Authorized King James Version (Oxford World's Classics)

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Religion and Spirituality
from: Oxford Paperbacks

April 17, 2008
Through the ages, the most influential and powerful book of all.

A book in two parts: the Old and New Testaments. The Old Testament was for the most part written between the 5th and 2nd centuries BC and is the primary document of Judaism. Written mainly in Hebrew, it was translated into Greek, then into Latin around 400 AD. Creation, Adam and Eve, the fall, the flood, Abraham, the laws of Moses, the Kings and Prophets of Israel....man struggles to enter a relationship with God and abide by certain rules.

The New Testament was written as a result of the life and death of Jesus. First to be written were letters to His followers in the immediate aftermath of His death, expecting His imminent return. After this followed the four Gospels by 90AD, ... Read More:

Double Trouble: Twins and How to Survive Them

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Religion and Spirituality
by: Emma Mahony

September 15, 2003
This is only the second book on twins I have bought. The first scared me senseless. This book was excellent. It was informative, and not patronising, and also had a great sense of humour.
Loved the fact that it has a british author, and not americanised.

Really recommend it.

Deep Sleep (Diviniti)

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Religion and Spirituality
by: Glenn Harrold

January 07, 2001
Wht a strange experience. This man has a really awful voice - quite scary - and really annoying. Having said all that I have been a poor sleeper for years and tried every "cure" possible, from prescribed drugs to yoga, you name it and I have tried it. Glenn seems to work. Not every night but I have had long, restful nights of sleep which previously I would only have dreamed of (if only I could get to dream) for which I am truly grateful.
