Maya Angelou's Even the Stars Look Lonesome


Although this is hardly a new book, like every other book I've ever read by Maya, it made me think and it made me smile. It's a combination of self-revealing tales and poetry that is sure to satisfy readers who want to read stories about this woman who has lived life to the fullest.








Joan Z. Borysenko's 7 Paths to God


I enjoyed reading this slim book at bedtime. It was somewhat basic, but then I've read a lot of spiritual/metaphysical books over the years. I thought it was very good information and a confirmation and reiteration of information I already knew. I recommend it particularly for people who are interested in reading more but don't have time to read thick volumes on the subject. It was concise and well written.







Doreen Virtue's The Healing Miracles of Archangel Raphael 


If you read her book, The Miracles of Archangel Michael, then you'll know what to expect: stories about the specific archangel involved.  This type of book is really good to read before bed I've found because they are comforting.  They are also good stories to read when you don't have time to get involved in any heavy thinking.  They are inspiring stories that are neither time nor attention intensive.  All of Doreen's books are good reads, but a number of them require you to pay closer attention to them because they are for the purpose of teaching you about the angels and their connections and benefits for us.  These books are more for inspiration and they meet that need perfectly without requiring you to think really hard or do any deep spiritual/emotional work. I also recently got the oracle cards of the same title and will review those too when I get a chance to work with them a little.  I use Doreen Virtue's oracle cards a lot since I am a certified Angel Therapy Practitioner® through her training course.  I've already gotten a lot of interaction with the Archangel Michael cards and love those.
