Just The Light That I Needed.......2007-09-13
This book was a lifesaver for me. It put light into my dark, dim world. When I found this book, I was in a severe depression, going through a most difficult time in my life. I credit it with saving me. And I give glory to God for putting it in my hands.
No matter where you are in your life, this book will benefit you. You don't have to be as low as I was for this book to bless you. It is a must read for everyone!!
It is worth every dime that it cost and then some. Once you read it, you will want to put it next to your bible and keep it forever.
It means so much to me that I purchase it for everyone that I cross paths with, who seems to be in need of faith, love, comfort, and/or support. I use it as a way to minister to those in need.
You will LOVE it!
Comforting.......2007-03-08
It is because of Stormie that I have grown much closer to our LORD. She has a way of just talking to you and you feel like she is your friend. I have read most of her books and passed them on!
Don't put her books away, share them with your friends and family! They will enrich their lives as well!
I love her books and recommend her HIGHLY!
True Light !.......2007-02-22
Life is filled with uncertainties, and when life threatens to overcome us, and everything within us wants to throw in the towel and give up, there is God. We find that in our moment of need, He is all we need. This ever so powerful book will encourage you and lift you up to an understanding that God is sufficient for our every need. It is not in looking to the past or to the future, but in looking up to the One who is all knowing and all powerful. The step your on is the one that God wants you to be and learning how to maximize that season of life is what walking with the Lord is all about. Don't miss out on this powerfully encouraging book that will bring you peace in the midst of the chaos of a fallen world.
Good enough to read again!.......2006-07-25
I have this book and have read it. I took notes on it, and I plan to read it again!
His light shines brightly, even thru the Celebrate Recovery 12-Steps.......2006-04-21
This is a MUST-HAVE companion book especially if you are going through or contemplating on going through a Celebrate Recovery 12-step group. Although it is not all about the 12-steps, it is applicable to wherever you're at in life and whatever you're faced with.
I can remember the 1st day I walked slowly into a women's 12-step group @ Saddleback, it was the scariest thing but I did it anyway with faith in God, knowing there are VICTORIES awaiting.
As I cleared out my schedule, including relationships, to stay focused w/ minimal distractions and to allow myself to lean more on God rather than others, I found that going thru the Celebrate Recovery participant guides were emotionally exhausting as I've had to dig up hurts, habits and hang-ups from the past and present. I eventually found myself searching for a book that I could read that was applicable to where I was at - preparing to dive into my 4th step (moral inventory). And so when I came across this profound book title 'Just Enough Light for the Step I'm on' by Stormie Omartian, I thought - "WOW, how applicable!"
One of the cool things about this book, aside from that it points me to God in each page and that there are enlightening prayers throughout, is that this book applies to every experience we face in this life, not just while going through a 12-step. You'll identify with much in this book.
I am definitely A WORK IN PROGRESS!
Although I'm not quite close to finishing the most difficult step (4th) yet, I am walking step by step on this journey and path with God and with JUST ENOUGH LIGHT FOR THE STEP I'M ON thru every layer of hurt, habit & hang-up to full transformation, restoration, healing, and countless VICTORIES!
This book, already highly recommended to the women in my step group, will continue to be a constant reference in my bedroom library, along with 2 other books by Stormie, 'Power of a Praying Woman' and 'The Prayer That Changes Everything.'

Book Description
Kevin Griffin, a Buddhist meditation teacher and longtime Twelve Step practitioner, weaves his personal story of recovery with traditional Buddhist teachings. The book takes us on a journey through the Steps, examining critical Twelve Step ideas like Powerlessness, Higher Power, and Moral Inventory through the lens of Buddhism. One Breath at a Time presents potent ancient techniques for finding calm and clarity and offers a vision of a Higher Power not tied to traditional Western Judeo-Christian concepts. One Breath at a Time describes the convergence of two vital traditions, one ancient, the other contemporary, and shows how they are working together to create a rich spiritual path for our times. Certain to resonate with both meditators and those whose mantra is 'One day at a time,' One Breath at a Time should find a large, welcoming audience.

A Truly Spiritual Journey.......2007-09-16
This is one of the finest books I've read linking the 12 Steps of AA with the practices of Buddhism. Kevin Griffin has a magnificent grasp of both and presents them so clearly that it truly is a thrill to read. Excellent writing as well, sometimes poetic. Well done!
hidden gem.......2007-05-10
I bought this book for my bf as he was coming out of rehab, and ended up reading it myself as well. It has lessons and guidance that even a non-addicted person can apply to their everyday life. I highly recommend this book, it is a quick read, and you'll leave knowing things about yourself you didn't before.
Great Intro to the Twelve Steps and Western Buddhism.......2006-11-25
Kevin Griffin and friends put a lot of thought into integrating these two approaches. However, what makes the book a Five Star instead of a Four Star is the totally honest portrayal of his own life by Mr. Griffin as he tells of his misdeeds and how he hurt others in his bouts with alcohol and drugs. He offers hope and redemption to the rest of us and you will love his happy ending. Were we all so open, humble, and acknowledging of our faults and missteps. A great read for us recovering folks who also would like to focus on Step Eleven, especially through a Buddhist perspective.
Freedom from Mara (Illusion).......2006-10-17
This is an interesting dimension on the 12-steps which were Christian in origin and spiritual in nature. One Breath at a Time is a Buddhist slant on the one day at a time approach in recovery. One primary lesson from Buddhist philosophy is that attachment and craving are at the root of suffering. Addiction is both an attachment and a craving whose compulsions take over and trap an individual in an endless cycle. Whether the addiction is to a substance or a behavior the illusion that it frees the person from pain is what mara is ... a mirage promising bounties that are empty. So ... for those who are interested in other perspectives of recovery - this is one read to consider.
Recommended.......2006-09-29
This book is well written and easy to read. I relapsed with 13+ years in a 12 step program and having a difficult time getting reconnected. As someone with Buddhist leanings who never quite bridged the gap between the steps and Buddhism I found this book to be of great help. If you are even remotely interested in working the 12 steps from a Buddhist perspective I highly recommend this book.

It was very disappointing to purchase a book with a cd that could not be loaded on my computer. Something is wrong with it. Unfortunately, I have been very busy - too busy to bother with the lengthy process of attempting to get it replaced!

Finally, An Effective Workbook for Depressed People .......2004-10-30
I found this workbook extremely helpful. It's very straightforward. The ideas about depression are different than your typical self-help book and I found them very powerful in helping me to feel better. The fact that this new approach is based in solid research is one reason for its effectiveness. The other is the authors' knowledgeable guidance through the process.

Truly life changing....if you are ready........2007-09-17
This book will remain on my permanent bookshelf...it is a treasure. Took me 1 month to finish as I completed nearly all of the exercises that are placed throughout the book. Even as I worked through the book I always looked forward to the next chapter...which is rare for me. I would strongly recommend this book if you are looking for guidance to truly learn about yourself and WHY you do those things that you do. If you are looking for a list of quick organizing tips then this is not the book for you.
Holistic approach to organization.......2007-01-04
Drawing on the four areas of development (physical, emotional, mental and spiritual), the author focuses on WHY people are unorganized. The book is not as focused on practical steps to become organized, but does give an excellent overview on the path towards understanding. If you want a more specific, skills-based approach, this isn't the book for you. On the other hand, if you want to learn why you're not organized (in ANY area of your life, not just housework!), then this is a good tool.
Wow!!!!.......2006-07-09
This is the *best* organization book I have ever came across. I litterately felt like I was sitting in a shrinks office (and it was much cheaper too!). I had so many "ah ha!" moments reading this book and I couldn't put it down. This is one that I will keep on my shelf forever!
Great...It was like she was talking directly to me........2006-06-06
The author talked from experience, expresses herself beautifully, provides holistic help, great resources in the appendix. I think it will change my life.
I thought I was organized until I read this book.......2006-01-30
The author knew all of my weaknesses in organizing my life and she had all the answers on how to correct them.This book will save me two hours a day for the rest of my life.You really feel like you accomplished something after you start practicing these techniques.

Waste of money.......2007-04-12
Contains little information that is not covered by the help files. Don't bother with this manual or series.
Helped me come up to speed quickly.......2007-02-28
I bought this book after I read the Windows Vista Step by Step book. I really liked that book, but I like this one even better. There is so much information about Outlook in general and the cool new features of Outlook 2007--I've been using it at work and it's just amazing. I did have some trouble setting up the program at home, which is why I bought this book. I found the solution in Chapter 1.
One thing I like about this book, and I guess the series, is that it has not only the exercises and lots of pictures, but also some great tips and tricks that have helped me come up to speed fast.

Excellent guide to start your own business.......2007-01-11
It is a complete guide to start your own business, specially when you are first time. It covers all the steps in the process from finding out what kind of business to complete a real business plan. It also analyse buying an existing business or a franchise. Excellent book.
A Must-Read for the New Entrepreneur.......2006-11-20
This book is a great starting point for the first-time entrepreneur; it is informative and motivating for one who has toyed with the idea of starting a business, but lacks the experience to know where to begin in his journey. Dr. Harper helps the reader to re-evaluate his or her plans to avoid failure in the future.
Pretty good intro to starting a business.......2005-12-27
This book is a good summary of the more technical aspects of starting a business. It doesn't dig into economics or financial issues too deeply so just reading this book isn't going to make you an expert. But, I think the general steps to starting a business are laid-out pretty well and that this book has a lot of value for someone looking for direction. One thing I would have liked to see in this book was a concise summary of all the steps involved so that when it is time to refer back to this book after reading it, you're not digging through the details and examples.
So far it has been very informational........2005-09-11
I have not read the whole book yet but from what I have read it has been very informational. There are a lot of good tips and things that I had not even thought about. I think I got what I paid for.
Eye Opening!.......2002-11-21
I would highly recommend picking up this book to anyone contemplating opening a small business or maybe struggling with an existing one. It is an easy read and reminds you of the common pitfalls, at the same time motivating for success...

Excellent Guide!.......2006-06-15
I'm an independent trainer and often look for resources that can keep me on top of my game. I have a library of training books -- some very comprehensive; some with only a few chapters of information that I can use. This book concisely covers mostly everything that I need to know as an experienced trainer. It's also a useful guide for new trainers or those who facilitate learning. Every bit of it was useful. If you need a good book to add to your own reference library, I would highly recommend it.
Not bad for novices.......2002-02-10
A good resource that covers everything from Facilitation to Techniques passing through evaluation and personal development. If you are a beginner or you are asked frequently to help other beginner-level trainers, then you would probably benefit from this book.
The Book is written in an easy and simple style that takes the reader through the different aspects of training logically and smoothly.
Solid, If Dry, Guide for the First Time Trainer.......2000-10-29
This is a reasonable summary of current techniques and strategies for training. The writing is a bit dry, and I got the feeling that this book was oriented towards human resources professionals. There is nothing wrong with that, but my preference is for a less academic style of writing. Still, it's not a bad choice, just not one of my favorites.

3D AutoCad 2007: One Step at a Time.......2007-04-11
It's helpful for who already have experience on AutoCad.a lots of exercises to practice .
What a bargain!.......2006-07-07
About a month ago, I bought the One Step at a Time series (3 books with the workbook) for AutoCAD 2007 in ebook format. The whole series cost me 30.24 - and I didn't have to wait (or pay) for shipping. Then I printed them all (in color) at work so I could reference them anytime I needed to.
These books are simply the best - simple explanations, step by step exercises, and an author who answered my questions when I got stumped on one of the exercises.
What a find - books that do what they claim to do for a reasonable price. Eat your heart out MegaBookPublishers; I'm going with the little guys and the electronic publishers from now on!
Good book/series at a good price!.......2006-06-04
I bought the AutoCAD 2007: One Step at a Time series (including 3D and Workbook) and am very please with the product. I only had about a week to get up to speed with AutoCAD (I studied it in the mid-90s but haven't seen it since), and these books were very easy to follow and left me with a better-than-functional understanding of the software. I amazed myself with my final 3d drawing!
I recommend the series for anyone in a hurry to jump start their design career at a reasonable price. (I bought the eBooks and printed them.)
Five Stars for the Series and the Support.......2006-05-17
I've now been through both the beginning and 3D books of this series and am very happy with both. The approach is straightforward and easy to follow.
But to be honest, I've used other texts that were almost as easy to follow. What really made this one stand out was that, when I had a couple problems (I couldn't find the files and I missed a detail in one of the exercises), I contacted the publisher for help (once by email and once by phone). And I actually got to talk directly to the author who was as patient and easy to understand as his writing!
You can't get better service than that!
Quite pleased.......2006-05-05
I began my autocad studies last year with Sykes' 2006 basic books. When my boss upgraded last month, I picked up the 3D copy of the 2007 One Step at a Time series. I really appreciated the author's approach in the basic books, but with material as scary as 3D, it was a godsend. It only took a few days to finish the simple, step by step exercises and get comfortable with 3 dimensional CAD. I had no idea 3D could be conquered so quickly (and easily)!
I've almost finished my first project (interior design of an office) in 3D. The materials and renderings are as professional as anything my boss has ever seen, and he's been in this business for 38 years!
Thanks, Sykes. Keep up the good work!

Un Excelente Libro Para Entender Las Matematicas Financieras!.......2006-06-23
Es dificil encontrar un libro que te explique con tanta claridad (sencillo) el tema de las matematicas financieras. Vale la pena tenerlo.
Concise, informative & well communicated to intended readers.......2003-12-29
I am using the most recent edition (1999, ISBN027362587X) of this excellent book published by FT Prentice Hall.
This book is a concise and informative guide to the concepts and mechanics (maths) and application of financial instruments.
The author has managed to cover the wide area of financial instruments and business maths in the most concise and informative manner possible.
The added bonus of this book is that it could have been "unintentionally" written as a companion with HP financial calculator-the HP12c and the HP19BII.
As a new owner of the HP12c, I have found this book to be an excellent and indispensible guide and workbook.
Working through the examples in the book with my HP12c has helped me familarise with the RPN mode/logic of performing financial maths at the same time as I apply my understanding of the underlying concepts to the exercise questions and illustrative examples.
I am impressed that the author had even included detailed key strokes of both the HP 12c and 19BII calculators with each illustrated examples and answers to practice questions as well! Although there is afew minor errors but the overall effort is great efforts and attention to details.
This book is really true to its name, I would certainly recommend Mr Steiner's excellent work and effort to anyone who needs a refresher or an introductory course into financial instruments for both work and study.
Judging by the author's excellent effort, it would be difficult for the author himself to improve on his own work unless there are major new developments in the subject matter or if the author wishes to cover more complex and specialist areas.
A five star+ effort in my humble opinion.
A must in your bookshelf.......2002-09-20
One of the best titles you can get about pricing swaps and simple options and many other money market stuff. A lot of excersises with solutions. I dont know how this book isnt a best-seller yet.
One of the best I've encountered.......2000-10-23
As a liberal arts major who was not a math pro but had an interest in learning the tools of finance, this book was a dream come true. It explains every calculation simply and without any technical (and incomprehensible) jargon found in many textbooks. It includes examples, hints, and a glossary of important financial concepts. If you are willing to learn, then this book is for you. A good reference tool for even pros. A bit expensive but NOT sorry to have bought it.
Brilliant. A Definitive Work.......2000-09-09
This is by far the most comprehensive, easy to understand book regarding financial math I have come across in over 15 years as a Wall Street IT professional. From calculating simple interest to pricing interest rate and currency swaps to option payout diagrams this book has it all. All calculations are clearly laid out with real examples, sample questions and hints. A must have for novices and pros.
