Book Description
An estimated one in 20 Americans has a natural talent for perceptiveness. Could you be one of them? Usually they are unskilled empaths, which means they suffer from such problems as emotional instability, apparent co-dependence, low self-esteem, or hypochondria. Rose Rosetree's seventh book, Empowered by Empathy, explains how to improve the quality of life by turning off unwanted empathy.
Her how-to techniques also demonstrate how to turn empathy on. At will. Bigger than ever before. Interspersed with her teaching, Rosetree describes elusive spiritual travels that are sometimes humorous, sometimes moving, and consistently mind-boggling. The cover, for instance, demonstrates “I Want to Hold Your Hand,” an outrageously simple method to move an empath's conscious awareness into the physical body of a consenting partner. An example of one of Rosetree's wild but true anecdotes? Read how she inadvertently outed a spy--see page 134. Yes, you can learn to experience vividly, from the inside, what it is like to be another person. The author, a teacher of personal development since 1971, has tested these techniques. Use them and they will alter your reality (for the better).
Rosetree's pioneering discoveries will also revolutionize how you understand empathy. You'll learn why it happens and how it goes far beyond “Emotional Intelligence” or “sympathy.” True empathy, you'll discover, comes in many varieties, including physical, intellectual, spiritual, and emotional gifts. Although an increasing number of authors today discuss empathy, Rosetree is the one who will satisfy you if you're really an empath. The depth and scope of her work will bring you relief. Yes, relief is not too strong a word for the rare chance to meet a skilled empath who understands your gifts and can teach you how to make them work for you.
Could you be an empath? Three tests near the start of the book will help you find out. Then you'll learn Rosetree's 25 ways to Fly in Spirit. Plus a great deal more. Pay special attention to the chapter on “Grounding,” with its insights into smoking, weight-loss, and more—counter-culture but absolutely on target.
And, as always with any book by Rosetree, you're in for a treat just because the writing is so good. Between the covers of Empowered by Empathy you'll find powerful words, directed with caring intent, and sparkling with Rosetree's honesty, insight, surprises, and irrepressible humor. America's first book ever for empaths can empower you to be of greater service to others. With less suffering and more skill. Consider yourself invited.

One of the most helpful books I have ever read.......2007-07-20
There are few books out there that both inspire and inform at the same time. With each sentence, I kept nodding my head in approval because it all applied to me. As I read the part on emotional onneness and emotional intuition, I could not help getting teary eyed because for the first time I had an explanation for what I had. I was not abnormal, or an emotional wreck. I had a gift all along and I did not even know it. Also the fact that it is written by one who has actually been there is a a sigh of relief because you are not alone. I recommend this book to anyone who believes that empathy might be a part of their every day life, and I hope it is as much a blessing to you as it was to me.
Great book for understand your empathy.......2007-05-26
Some of things are long winded and not all that well explained, such as some of the exercises. I got the impression that you sort of had to understand things a bit more to really get use out of some of the exercises. Unfortunately, shutting it off and turning it back on isn't quite as simple as she'd have you believe. My empathy is very ingrained in me and I still have trouble doing it without the aid of my guides, and I'm far more advanced now. BUT... it is a wonderful book for beginning to understand more about a latent gift I didn't realize I had.
Hogwash.......2007-04-10
I was so disappointed with this book. I expected something more concrete, complex and helpful. The author used to read faces at parties as a paid party entertainer, for godssake. I read it and tried all of the exercises, and to get anything out of it you have to be one of those New-Age-suspension-of-reason types. It is simplistic and unhelpful. Someone with a more serious background in psychology is better equipped to truly help people who have a problem with feeling too much empathy.
Wonderfully helpful!.......2007-01-05
After being clued into the fact that I was an empath by my minister, I checked around for books to help me. This one by Rosetree was really helpful. I particularly liked the sections that helped me to 'shield' myself from other people's vibes. I recommend this book!!
Excellent, Most Helpful Book I've Read!.......2005-12-23
If you have lived your life thinking you are a mess, a basket case, then you owe it to yourself to READ THIS BOOK! I am very grateful to Rose for her GENUINE caring nature and her crystal clear intentions. Rose has been there and done that and is here to assist the rest of us!
Thank you Rose!
Book Description
Prayers to My King is a beautiful gift book created to help women connect intimately with their God.

Christian women will gain a personal, dynamic prayer life.
You want to
feel God’s presenceâ¦
embrace His promisesâ¦
cry out to Himâ¦
â¦but don’t know how!
From your heart’s deepest cry to life’s joyful praises, nothing is off limits to Him. Go confidently now before His throne as you claim these powerful prayers as your own.
He’s waiting to hear from youâ¦
If from there you will seek the Lord your God,
you will find Him if you seek Him with

Story Behind the Book
âToo many of God’s âchosen onesâ don’t know how to have a real relationship with their Lord. We want to feel His presence, but we don’t know how to let Him in. We want to see His promises come true, but we don’t believe they are for us personally. We want to experience His power, but we keep trying to live life in our own strength. We want to cry out to Him, but we’re afraid to break down and admit that we’re weak. My prayer for this book is that women of God will have a personal, life-changing prayer life and be transformed into the daughters of the King they were destined to be from the beginning.â

A Place of Refuge.......2007-01-19
This is a wonderful way to get real with God, our Father in heaven. Every subject is covered for ways to bring us back to God when we might not be doing all that He has called us to do. It is also a way to give Him praise and honor for being such a wonderful God and loving us unconditionally. I highly recommend this book for women of all ages! Thank you Shari Rose Shepherd for loving the Lord and bringing women this beautiful book of Prayers to our King!
Awesome.......2006-12-11
I love this book. If you want a more intimate relationship with the King of Kings, this book is a great catalyst.
Book Description
With a warm mixture of fantasy and reality, "Rose is Rose" presents the Gumbo family and the magic in their everyday life. It stars child-at-heart Rose, her "decent Neanderthal" husband Jimbo, and their anything-but-precocious son Pasquale. Nominated for Best Newspaper Comic Strip of 1993 and 1995, "Rose is Rose" is loved by cartoonists as well as readers in more than 400 newspapers. "Peanuts" creator Charles Schultz says, "Ever since 'Rose is Rose' began, I have been one of its most ardent admirers."
Peace of Mind is a Blanket that Purrs is a warm and charming gift book that reminds us of the securities that Pasquale -- and all young children--find in life.

LOVE IT.......2003-03-03
This is such a wonderful book full of phrases from Rose is Rose. I love this book and read it to bed every once in a while! Wonderful to read to children and adults alike!
I feel I am reading about myself!.......2000-06-09
I Love Rose! My name is Rose and when I first came across the comic strip it was awesome. I felt like someone was looking into my life and writing about it. Brady has done an awesome job this time, as always.I want to say that the insight is so close to my life that I get the chill reading the strip every day. I have a husband named Jim or James and a son who is a dead ringer for Pasquale and we have a cat named Georgia Peach. Our lives and Roses life paralell alot. I love the work and love Brady's writing!
A simple way to make you smile!!.......1999-06-17
This book if full of original pictures and phrases, yet follows the themes of the comic strip as any fan would expect! The picture on the cover and the title is what first grabbed me...and there's much more of that warm, fuzzy feeling inside! It's really worth the money to have a little treasure like this at home.
content and animation are not up to par.......1999-03-11
I believe this book was nto the way ti whould have been. I believe it was very dry and unfunny. I had many strips that seemed to make no sense, and others so bland I could barely stand to reas them. the other thing I disliked was the animation. It seemed to have no depth or perception, and feel it could have been done much better wuiet easily. I realize my opinions do not agree witht he other readers, but it is just how I feel.
Nice as a gift, but I wouldn't have bought it.......1999-02-10
I received the book as a Christmas gift. Ten minutes later, I was finished reading it. Like one other reviewer, I am used to more "meat" in a comics book. If it was supposed to be a coffee table experience, it should have been sold in hardback with a glossy cover.
Book Description
It's 1960. Jenny Wayne is 18 years old and ready to conquer the world. Following her dream, Jenny and her 19-year-old boyfriend, Johnny DiCaprio, have joined a rock 'n roll band. From one end of the country to the other, they chase the elusive rainbow of success and fame. Their search for fulfillment and meaning in life nearly costs them their love, if not their very lives. It's not until Jenny returns to her hometown of Willowbrook that she finds the joy and fulfillment she has been seeking. This fifth novel in the Heartland Memories Series takes readers on a cross-country adventure, including snapshot moments of the early 60's on the "American Bandstand" TV show, the civil rights movement in the South, the Pearl Harbor memorial in Hawaii, and the events surrounding the assassination and funeral of John F. Kennedy.
Book Description
Here is the book that Tolkien fans have needed for half a century--a detailed, book-length chronology of J. R. R. Tolkien's complex tale. Whether you are a serious Tolkien fan or simply someone who enjoys reading the story over and over again, this is the book for you. It's the first totally new reference for The Lord of the Rings since the 1970s.
Beginning over 1400 years before the major events in Tolkien's epic, it describes, year-by-year, the amazing and imaginative background history that Tolkien created for his masterpiece. Then for the main narrative, it becomes a day-by-day reference, describing what each character does on that day and all the places where those events are described in Tolkien's writings. You can find out, for instance, what Merry and Pippin are doing as Sam perpares rabbit stew on the morning of March 7.
Probe deeper into Tolkien. See why someone as serious as Gandalf was interested in fun-loving Hobbits. Discover an exciting new plot, based on Tolkien's notes, that begins when Aragorn captures Gollum. Follow along as the Black Riders and Gandalf race for the Shire. Decide for yourself whether Sauron and the Ring have any ties to Hitler and Stalin. Explore what Tolkien believed about nature and technology.
A few facts illustrate how helpful this chronology is. Most of narrative is a deliberately confusing sea of next days and third days that leave readers as confused as the tale's main characters.The middle 60 percent of The Lord of the Rings gives the current date only once. In the narrative as a whole, the date is given only 23 times, or once for every 43 pages, and most of those come when the plot is moving slowly. That's why those who want to dig deeper and understand better what Tolkien was saying will find this book a must-have.

Excellent Resource.......2006-12-10
Perry has done a wonderful job in untangling the very intricate tale woven by J.R.R. Tolkien. Of particular help are the copious margin notes which reference exactly where Perry is drawing the information contained within that section of his book. The commentary made by the author is a welcomed pause for reflection on the events that are taking place and keep the book from being a mere listing of dates and events. I teach a course on J.R.R. Tolkien and have found Untangling Tolkien a valuable resource, since it covers the entire history of Middle-earth: what comes before The Hobbit and what takes place after The Lord of The Rings. Bravo Mr. Perry, I look forward to reading your other books.
Knits up the ravels.......2004-10-31
An amazing accomplishment by a dedicated Tolkien fan.
That is how I'd sum up the book Untanging Tolkien. Michael Perry has first unraveled all Tolkien's "dates" -- which can be extrapolated from phases of the moon -- and then knit them together again in a cohesive outline, presented in much greater detail than Tolkien's own timeline (found buried in Appendix A of LOTR). By incorporating information from other Tolkien writings, the author of Untangling Tolkien collates additional facts about all the characters and the circumstances surrounding the War of the Ring, folding them all into this detailed chronology. He includes material that sheds light on possible parallels between Tolkien's work and events that were contemporary, and he provides original commentary that suggests some additional motivations for Tolkien's characters. Sidebars offer references to every source for the information presented and for each conclusion the author has drawn.
I found the format, with quick-reference bulleted lists and clearly delineated sections and subheadings, well-organized and easy to use.
NOTE: I read the third printing that was published in May 2004. Apparently the author has corrected many of the errors that David Bratman objected to (below). You won't find a better overview or a more throrough treatment of time and dates in LOTR than Perry provides in this book.
A Radiograph of LotR........2003-12-27
This book is layed out as a chronological record of the events covered by Tolkein's masterpiece with prefaces that explain the calender system created by Tolkein and its conversion to our more mundane (and possibly inferior) system. The type is clear, and margin citations clear and present for every entry. It's primary utility, at which it succeeds admirably, is as a kind of radiograph of Tolkein's work that reveals its astonishing complexity more clearly and allows one to admire, and more importantly, explore the book itself more quickly, easily, and deeply.
The book also contains copious notes inline with the chronology. These vary from informative to tangential, but at worst do not detract from the book's primary function. Mr. Perry is perhaps foremost as Lewis scholar, and so C.S. Lewis, a close acquaintance and friend of Tolkein, makes a number of appearances. Also making appearances in the notes are William Shakespeare and Winston Churchill.
All in all, a unique book which will save anyone who wants to do an in depth study of LotR a lot of time.
Splendid Tolkien Reference Work.......2003-12-21
Superb, exhaustive chronology of Tolkien's Lord of the Rings saga. Perry does a superior job in untangling a number of thorny chronological issues in Tolkien's narrative, and he employs some fine literary detective work in reconstructing what events are happening across Middle Earth on any given date. Especially admirable is his reconstruction of how much moonlight there was during each day of Frodo and Sam's journey into Mordor.
In addition to chronology, Perry supplies a lot of background information about Tolkien's themes and sources, as well as biographical tidbits about Tolkien. For example, there are fascinating discussions of Tolkien's views of technology, freedom, and totalitarianism. Perry also discusses Tolkien's stance toward the misuse of Germanic myths by the Nazis.
This is a great resource for Tolkien-lovers everywhere.
a giant mass of undifferentiated trivia.......2003-12-21
A year-by-year, later day-by-day, chronicle of the war against Sauron from the founding of the Shire to the glorious conclusion seems at the outset like a good idea. Perry calls LOTR's Appendix B, the Tale of Years, "far from complete" but it covers the whole period: what he means is that it's not detailed enough for him. Appendix B won't tell you which day Sam cooked coney for Frodo; Perry will.
But alas, the book does not stop there. The entries are written as bullet lists like a PowerPoint presentation, and many add pointless little flowcharts such as two-generation family trees. They reduce Tolkien's magnificently complex subcreation into a giant mass of undifferentiated trivia. And each yearly or daily entry comes with its commentary, whether directly relevant, side points, broader considerations, or dogmatic essays in applicability. The unrelieved banality and inappropriateness of these must be read to be believed; as also the author's clumsy, grammatically inept style, and his smug superiority to the characters. (He frequently criticizes the good guys' "blunders," all of them more complex than he implies.)
There's actually some good chronological analysis and speculation hiding in here. But how can someone who knows his Tolkien that well say that the wizards were Valar, or that Rohan gave Isengard to Saruman (it wasn't theirs to give, and Saruman was made its warden, not a freeholder), that Boromir and Faramir had a sibling rivalry (Tolkien specifically says not), or suggest that Galadriel should have sent daily eagles to check up on the Fellowship?
These are not isolated examples: the bloopers and misconceived ideas go on and on. The whole book is like that: it has the soul of a PowerPoint presentation. I can't recommend it on any terms.

very graceful and feminine.......2006-05-05
This is the sort of stationary I could see a Victorian lady or princess using. The inside flap contains quotes from such luminaries as Emerson. Envelopes are good quality. I can't write in these ... they're too pretty!!! I looked over them again last night and many of the cards have "bumpy" edges. Hmmmm. Nevertheless they are very pretty.

A Child's Delight!.......2002-02-15
The book is lovely and contains ideas and recipes for sharing a tea party with your special little girl...even a darling miniature tea set is included!
It's Time for Tea! ^.^.......2002-02-03
A marvelous thank you to Susan Wheeler and Mr. Kortepeter for their beautiful work in creating this book. Wonderful artwork with that adorable Victorian setting, delightful recipes for teatime and useful tips for tea parties. Highly reccommendable for all tea lovers.
Sipping and Reading.......2001-10-17
Like most people, I was drawn to this book because of the artwork. And while the drawings are first-rate throughout, it was the writing that really got me hooked. From the seasonal stories to the recipes to the Holly Pond Hill Gazette entries, this book is a delightful potpourri of words. My hat's off to Paul Kortepeter for his inventiveness and to Susan Wheeler for her vision. I can't wait for the next book! Ciao.
I hate tea, but I love this book!.......2001-03-19
This book is so delightful, that even as an avid coffee lover, I couldn't put it down. Filled with Susan Wheeler's heart-warming illustrations of Holly Pond Hill, delightful mini-stories featuring some of her characters, as well as delicious recipes for every kind of tea dainty, the book is a joy to hold in your hands. Paul Kortapeter's writing compliments the illustrations as a Stilton Pear Sandwich enhances a warm cup of Earl Grey. Inspired, I made a cup of tea to drink as I read. The tea went down the sink, but I went back to the book with undiminished delight! If you are a fan of Susan Wheeler, don't miss this keepsake.
Taking Away the Intimidation of Tea Parties.......2001-02-16
I really enjoyed the Polite Society Gazette stories throughout the book. We have tried the scone recipe and found it delightful and easy. This is a fun book to read, get ideas, and enjoy the pictures. There is significant detail on the history and etiquette of tea parties--presented in a way that is interesting and entertaining. In addition, there are a number of suggestions for turning a common get together into a special, memorable event--with minimal effort.
We enjoy giving this fun book away as a gift to friends and family.
