Illusions : The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah
by Richard Bach
In Illusions, the unforgettable follow-up to his phenomenal bestseller Jonathan Livingston Seagull, Richard Bach takes to the air to discover the ageless truths that give our souls wings: that people don't need airplanes to soar...that even the darkest clouds have meaning once we lift ourselves above them... and that messiahs can be found in the unlikeliest places--like hay fields, one-traffic-light midwestern towns, and most of all, deep within ourselves.
Anatomy of the Spirit : The Seven Stages of Power and Healing
by Caroline Myss, C. Norman Shealy
What sets Anatomy of the Spirit apart is Carolyn Myss's ability to blend diverse religious and spiritual beliefs into a succinct discussion of health and human anatomy. For example, when describing the seven energy fields of the human body, she fuses Christian sacraments with Hindu chakras and the Kabbalah's Tree of Life. Fortunately, Myss is a skilled writer as well as researcher, able to ground her extensive spiritual and religious discussions by using real-life stories and a tight writing style.
Why People Don't Heal and How They Can
by Caroline Myss, Ph.D.
Attitudes and beliefs about healing have changed radically over the past few decades. The belief that psychology holds the key to physical healing, once a breakthrough perspective, has given way to the tendency of people to define themselves through their pain, "woundology," as Caroline Myss calls it: "In workshops and in daily life I saw that, rather than working to get beyond their wounds, people were using them as social currency." It set her on an investigation to challenge our assumptions about healing, and ask why some choose health, why some don't, and how all can.

Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom
by Christiane Northrup
Quite possibly every female over the age of 12 will find this huge book enlightening, pain saving, and perhaps even lifesaving. Think of it as a much more empowering and holistic Our Bodies, Ourselves. Northrup is a gynecologist who acknowledges the power of natural therapies and herbs, but also maintains that allopathic treatments, including surgery, are sometimes best. In Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom, she covers the treatment of many physical concerns--among them PMS, menstrual cramps, breast cancer, fibroids, endometriosis, infertility, depression, childbirth, abortion, cystitis, and menopause--explaining how many of these physical problems have roots in emotional upsets. For example, a woman who is unhappy with her marriage may be infertile because deep down, she knows that her husband is not the right man to have children with; a teenager who has cramps may be having problems accepting society's expectations of her as a woman.

Conversations With God : An Uncommon Dialogue
by Neale Donald Walsch
This is book 1, but there are now 3 volumes of these conversations with God. In 1992, Neale Donald Walsch was nearing 50 and feeling less than happy with his life--his four marriages had failed, his relationships with his kids were spotty, his health was poor, and he'd just lost his job. In frustration he dashed off an angry letter to God. As Walsch describes in the two bestselling volumes of "Conversations with God: An Uncommon Dialogue," God answered back in a personable, colloquial voice. Their conversation continued for three years, as Walsch petitioned God with questions both basic (why do people suffer?) and personal (why couldn't he get ahead financially?). In 1995, Walsch published the first installment of his Q & A session with God, because he felt the material had something to offer whether readers believed the conversations took place, or not.

To the Summit : A Woman's Journey into the Mountains to Find Her Soul
by Margo Chisolm
After beating bulimia and the twin addictions of alcohol and cocaine, climbing mountains would probably seem like a walk in the park. For Margo Chisholm, author of To the Summit, her quest to become the first woman to climb the highest mountain on each continent--known to the mountain-climbing community as "the Seven Summits"--was her victory march. Traveling from Africa to Antarctica to the Himalayas, Chisholm chased her dream, scaling mountain after mountain, with only Everest eluding her
