Recommended: "A New Earth" by E. Tolle

Q. Each Wednesday, you have graciously agreed to recommend a book you have found helpful to your growth. Which book jumps off the shelf this week?

A. This week, the book I’d like to comment on is A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose (Oprah's Book Club, Selection 61).

Oprah is featuring it as her Book of the Month recommendation, and beginning March 3, will sponsor a 10-week webinar class with Tolle leading the discussions. The book is a deep, thoughful page-turner to read. It makes sense, giving good direction to help the reader get quiet in the mind and heart. It has my strongest recommendation, as do his other excellent books and DVDs.

Recommended: "The God Code" by Greg Braden

This blog thing is real exciting. Off the top of my head I would suggest The God Codeby Greg Braden. It has some powerful stuff in it.

Greg Braden tells us how the ancient name of God is encoded in every cell of our body because science has named the DNA by that holy name, in code. Fun to read and well researched.

Beyond Christian, Jew, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, Shinto, Native, Aboriginal, white, black, red, or yellow; man, woman, or child, the message reminds us that we are human. As humans, we share the same ancestors and exist as the children of the same Creator. In the moments that we doubt this one immutable truth, we need look no further than the cells of our body to be reminded. This is the power of the message within our cells.

I’ll give this a lot of thought for the weeks to come.
