1.   The Greatest Miracle in the World

    by Og Mandono (Paperback - 1983)

    Avg. Customer Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars

 

   From Amazon.com: Welcome to your life. After reading this book, I felt as though a massive weight was lifted from my shoulders, and I was gently reminded why I'm here. As is the case is with many of us, I am caught up in the mundane routine of a static, nondescript, day-to-day life, where I'm "along for the ride," more so than actually controlling the navigational tools of my existence and destiny. No more. Read this work, and reclaim your specialness and uniqueness that makes you YOU.
 

 

2.   Fire in the Belly : On Being a Man

    by Sam Keen (Paperback - 1992)

    Avg. Customer Rating: 4.0 out of 5 stars

 

    From Amazon.com: The new male that Keen envisions is neither devoted careerist nor self-absorbed New Age guy nor cool, detached "post-modern man." He is husbandman and steward of the earth--strong, vulnerable, with a capacity for moral outrage, empathy and wonder--whose right livelihood is consonant with ecological awareness. Consulting editor of Psychology Today, Keen (Faces of the Enemy) argues that men must define their identities by severing themselves from women as approval-giving mother figures and as the ancient Goddess who continues to exert power within the male psyche's hidden recesses. Going beyond the modern rites of manhood--alienating work, war, performance-oriented sex--the new male "psychonaut" brings forth meaning by undertaking "a spiritual journey into the self." Men--and women--will be enriched by the uncommon insights in Keen's speculative primer.


 

3.  Alcoholics Anonymous - Big Book 4th Edition

    by AA Services (Paperback - 2002)

    Avg. Customer Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars

 

   From Amazon.com: For anyone struggling with alcoholism, this is the way to get sober. The principles of the program can--and have been--applied to just about any addiction. This program is the foundation of Cocaine Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous and every other 12 step program. This is where it all started.

My pastor mentioned in church just today how the spirituality of people who've been in 12 step programs is sometimes especially striking. That's true. It's because if a person follows the 12 steps, they will find it a life-changing experience. They will not be exactly the same person they were when they started. For more on this, see a passage in the book known in the program that took its name from the book's title as "the promises." If you read this book, also read the accompanying Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions. The two go together--though if you read only one, read the
Big Book. The newcomer might find the book somewhat dated. Stick with it. It's worth it. And, as time goes by, it will become clearer and clearer.

1.   The King of Rock 'n' Roll: The Complete 50's Masters [BOX SET]

    ~ Elvis Presley (Audio CD)

    Original Release Date: 1992

    Avg. Customer Rating: 4.8 out of 5 stars

    

From Amazon.com: This five-disc set was the first release in BMG's effort to present Elvis's recorded legacy in a manner befitting the most important musical artist of his time. The strategy was simple--showcase, in chronological order, remastered versions of the King's 1950s output, from his sessions with Sam Phillips at Sun Studios (where they arguably invented the very notion of rock & roll) through his 1958 Army induction. Not everything Elvis recorded in the '50s was great (just as not everything he recorded in Hollywood was rotten), but there are dozens of tracks here that, quite simply, can make a bad day seem all that much better. Which surely still makes him the king of something. Suffice it to say this is one box set that lives up to its title.

 

 

2.   The Unforgettable Nat King Cole [ORIGINAL RECORDING REMASTERED]

    ~ Nat King Cole (Audio CD)

    Original Release Date: 2000

    Avg. Customer Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars

 

From Amazon.com: Unforgettable comprises the most soothing and relaxing melodies of all-time. Highlights are two recordings of "Unforgettable," the original and the amazing digitally re-mastered duet with daughter Natalie Cole. My topmost choices are, Gershwin Brothers' "Our Love Is Here To Stay," Noble's "The Very Thought Of You," Russell/Ellington's "Don't Get Around Much Anymore," Watson/Best's "For Sentimental Reasons," Gross/Lawrence's "Tenderly" and Mercer/Kosma's "Autumn Leaves." Unforgettable is one great CD not only for Nat King Cole's fans but also for everyone who loves classic ballads for easy listening.

 

 

3.   16 Biggest Hits

    ~ Johnny Cash (Audio CD)

    Original Release Date: 1999

    Avg. Customer Rating: 4.0 out of 5 stars

 

From Amazon.com: If you're either not familiar with Johnny Cash or are going back to the basics, 16 Biggest Hits is a good place to start, especially if you do not have any Johnny Cash in your music collection. This album spotlights his most known songs from his earlier years, including classics such as "I Walk The Line," "Daddy Sang Bass," "Boy Named Sue," and "Ring of Fire." This is a good collection and I find myself putting this in the CD player when I want to hear classic Cash. Forty years later, the classics still sound as good as yesterday and hearing his 16 Biggest Hits reminds me why I've always loved his music. The legend will not be forgotten.

1.   True Confessions

     Starring: Robert De Niro, Robert Duvall

     (1981) ~ VHS ~ Not available on DVD

     Avg. Customer Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars

    

From Amazon.com: It is hard to believe that a film with outstanding performances from both Robert Duvall and Robert De Niro could slip through the cracks of the movie going consciousness. True Confessions perfectly captures, in an effortless manner, the feel of post-war California, we don't see men in costumes or old cars, we're put right in the time and place through artful direction. Two brothers, one a pious priest with a head for high finance, the other a hard bitten detective, now clean after an earlier career stint as a bagman, must handle the problems of their separate worlds. A brutal crime--the murder and dismemberment of a young woman--is about to bring their two worlds crashing together. The up and comers of the building in boom in California, who the Church is using to advance their goals of schools and hospitals, may not be the pillars of the community that wish to appear to be. A well balanced mystery of money, power, politics and principles. Don't miss the scene in which Charles Durning dances an Irish jig at a wedding.

 

 

2.   Shane

    Starring: Alan Ladd, Jean Arthur

    (1953) ~ DVD

    Avg. Customer Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars

 

From Amazon.com: Consciously crafted by director George Stevens as a piece of American mythmaking, Shane is on nearly everyone's shortlist of great movie Westerns. A buckskin knight, Shane (Alan Ladd) rides into the middle of a range war between farmers and cattlemen, quickly siding with the "sod-busters." While helping a kindly farmer (Van Heflin), Shane falls platonically in love with the man's wife (Jean Arthur, in the last screen performance of a marvelous career). Though the showdowns are exciting, and the story simple but involving, what most people will remember about this movie is the friendship between the stoical Shane and the young son of the farmers. The kid is played by Brandon De Wilde, who gives one of the most amazing child performances in the movies; his parting scene with Shane is guaranteed to draw tears from even the most stonyhearted moviegoer. And speaking of stony hearts, Jack Palance made a sensational impression as the evil gunslinger sent to clean house--he has fewer lines of dialogue than he has lines in his magnificently craggy face, but he makes them count. The photography, highlighting the landscape near Jackson Hole, Wyoming, won an Oscar.

 

 

3.   One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

    Starring: Jack Nicholson

    (1975) ~ DVD

    Avg. Customer Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars

 

From Amazon.com: One of the key movies of the 1970s, when exciting, groundbreaking, personal films were still being made in Hollywood, Milos Forman's One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest emphasized the humanistic story at the heart of Ken Kesey's more hallucinogenic novel. Jack Nicholson was born to play the part of Randle Patrick McMurphy, the rebellious inmate of a psychiatric hospital who fights back against the authorities' cold attitudes of institutional superiority, as personified by Nurse Ratched (Louise Fletcher). It's the classic antiestablishment tale of one man asserting his individuality in the face of a repressive, conformist system--and it works on every level. Forman populates his film with memorably eccentric faces, and gets such freshly detailed and spontaneous work from his ensemble that the picture sometimes feels like a documentary. Unlike a lot of films pitched at the "youth culture" of the 1970s, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest really hasn't dated a bit, because the qualities of human nature that Forman captures--playfulness, courage, inspiration, pride, stubbornness--are universal and timeless. The film swept the Academy Awards for 1976, winning in all the major categories (picture, director, actor, actress, screenplay) for the first time since Frank Capra's It Happened One Night in 1931.
