The Science of Getting Rich by Wallace D. Wattles

There used to be a row of books at the top of this blog that would lead you to the site to get a free copy of this book, however, in making changes to the blog I deleted it. I am working to get a shortcut to the site programmed in the blog but until then you can find the website by putting "The Science of Getting Rich Network" in Goggle. The site provides a free copy of this 1910 book by Wallace D. Wattles. You do have to provide an e-mail address which they then e-mail the e-book to. You will get future e-mails from them but if you don't want that you can unsubscribe. Or, if you don't want to provide your e-mail address you can go to the top of the page and enter the name of the book in the Amazon search where this book is offered "used" in the $7 to $8 dollar range (whatever it is currently). You can also get this book from Amazon (or from the site link) in audio tape form and that is in the $19.00 range (whatever it is according to demand).

What is it about? Mr. Wattles believed that anyone can be rich by asking, by programming their unconscious mind to achieve, and by showing gratitude for what God has given. He refers to a formless substance which created all things, I believe he is talking about the mind of God but you decide. He says that God does not want us to live in poverty but wants us to be wealthy. This is the same thing that most of the wealth gurus are talking about in different ways. If you let your ego or conscious mind control your actions you may succeed but at a price, because our ego is manipulative and leads us into bondage of some form. But if you program your subconscious mind to achieve the way God wants you to by being positive, showing gratitute and by increasing everyone you touch instead of taking from them then you will end up rich beyond what you could even have hoped for. His book tells you how to do that and it is free, so go read and let me know what you think. We can all use some positive thinking anyway so what have you lost?

Rediscover Your Love

To see details about this great e-book press the "click here" button at the top of the page, just move your curser under the Amazon name in the center of the page and you will see the "click here" button. I haven't learned yet how to program it so it shows up white. If anyone knows how to do that, please let me know. I am going to tell you something about this book, it is not what you think, it is a new way to live and it is eye-opening. Anyone who has ever been in a relationship will be blessed by this book, that is just about anyone. More importantly anyone who has been confused about why things happen the way they do will be astounded by the principles here. This is not your just your 4-step program to bring back a lost love, it is a way to look at life, really believe in God again and love everyone, even the negative people all around you. Be aware that she sends you many updates after you purchase the original material including many new books, more than you have time to read and all are a new way to live with optimism, enthusiasm and love. If you can manage the expense you will keep on being blessed by this for a long time to come. Thank you Cucan!

Spell of the Highlander by Karen Marie Moning

If you have enjoyed Karen Moning's previous Highlander novels, you will like this one too because it is a continuation of the series. All our favorite characters are back, except for Adam Black who is missing in this one (although mentioned) and who is now mortal, dare we hope the Queen restores his immortality someday? Of course the MacKeltar twins, Dageus and Drustan are back and they are accompanied by their now wifes, Chloe and Gwen. By the way, the story of Drustan and Gwen is my all-time favorite Karen Moning book and I think will be difficult to ever top. But, this one comes close and, as always, her writing is very intelligent. This can be called the Man-in-the-Mirror book because it is about Cian (pronounced Key-on) MacKeltar who is a wilder, rougher ancester of the twins, could it be possible? Jessi St. James is the young woman who happens upon the mirror and discovers the man trapped inside by the spell of the wicked, evil Lucan, who has definitely turned to the "dark side." Lucan spends the novel trying to reclaim the mirror which was lost to him when it was stolen from his London home. He has to get it back in time to continue the spell. I don't want to give away any more of the story because if you read it, a great part of the fun is that you don't know where she is going with it and that keeps you engrossed. The suspense keeps you reading and the characters are fascinating and different from the previous ones. Another interesting aspect is the illusions to Queen Aoibheal's motives in allowing the MacKeltar's to find themselves in the modern world and what will be coming in the future. It certainly tells us that there will be more Highlander stories in the offing and they will include our favorite characters, and once again, the modern world will be in jeopardy and will need to be rescued by the MacKeltars.

The Lion In Glory by Shannon Drake

Anyone who loves historical novels will love anything by Shannon Drake. She stays very true to the history of the British Isles. She always puts in a chronology at the end of the book so that we can see what really happened in the time period before and after the setting for her book. By interweaving real characters like Robert Bruce (the lion of Scotland) and William Wallace with the characters of her story, you can't help but learn history while enjoying the intrigue, excitement and the towering love stories she depicts. This book tells the story of Jamie Graham and Christina of Hamstead Heath. This story is about trust and what happens when we don't have it, it is the story of the damage done by a woman scorned, it is also about war and political maneuvering, but in the end it is a glorious love story with the background being the glory days of Robert Bruce. It is satisfying and engrossing to the last page.
