The author's unshakable faith infuses every minute of this wonderfully crafted lesson for people in desperate financial situations. Written with her usual care to be precisely understood, Williamson's message is delivered with the unstoppable determination one usually hears in a world-class sermon, though her speaking voice itself is quite peaceful and even tempered. Her reassuring message, based on principles taught in A COURSE IN MIRACLES, is that we should stop worrying about finances, believe deeply that we deserve abundance, and remember that the love we give and receive is always more important than money. Not an escape from financial responsibilities, her presentation offers a way to develop a spiritual foundation for being honest with ourselves about our money challenges and faithful enough to do what needs to be done.

Listeners will find much worth discovering in the lives of these vanguards of American intellectual life.
Kevin R. Free’s voice is the perfect vehicle for this fascinating portrait of a remarkable group of artists, philosophers, abolitionists, and social reformers who all happened to live in Concord, Massachusetts in the 19th century. Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, Louisa May Alcott and her father, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Margaret Fuller, and many others called themselves transcendentalists and became the first truly American philosophical movement. With his genial delivery, Free is up to the task of narrating this complicated account of many intersecting lives; his inflections add character to the correspondence and inject life into the often formal writings the Circle left behind.

An interesting Ozark history that doesn’t quite cohere.
Author Hale presents the case of his young cousin Haley's disappearance on Cave Mountain in 2001 and the ensuing search and rescue operation, the largest in Arkansas history. Hale connects this with the murder of 3-year-old Bethany by a small and isolated religious sect decades earlier on the same mountain. Narrating these two stories in a low, slightly gruff tone, Hale weaves together family anecdotes, Ozark lore, local and broader history, and Christian theology. While the two cases are intriguing, the work lacks focus and contains extraneous details.
