REDEMPTION'S WARRIOR by Jennifer Morse and William Mortimer
Have read other works by Jennifer and enjoyed them and this one along with her husband sounded like a good read also.
Found the trip to Mexico exciting as I've never visited there and it's very detailed descriptions bring a picture of the area in my mind.
Starts out with Christopher and on his 18th birthday as he's saved his money he heads to Mexico to get a special interior for his muscle car.
He runs into problems, so many that he ends up in a prison, on an island. He meets many along the way and I enjoyed the travel and story behind it all
and how it all comes full circle. Enjoyed the references to the animals and auras. Just when he's about to become free a special friend goes missing...
Enjoyed the martial arts and mystic exchanges. He watches man give up hope to ever having a real life again and now he really has nothing to live for....… (mais)

The Way of The Fairy Godmother
Free gift from the author and I've read the other one that this one references.
A book that will help you find your inner peace and find out your dreams and how to go get them.
This book I can relate to on many levels as I've done a large majority of the things suggested on my own-it's cool seeing there is a trail that I've been on for so long.
Explains things that we know about in real life examples: movies and how inner beauty is seen regardless of the outer beauty. Also Cinderella's journey and how things happened for her.
Enjoyed the real examples of the exercises and how each chapter starts out with the purpose, and it's repeated at the end-summarizing it for us.
Word spill - love this idea. whole book is summarized at the end with the nine keys to happiness. Something in here for everybody to achieve their true happiness.… (mais)

Fairy Godmothers of The Four Directions
Was invited to read this book in exchange for a review. Read the summary and it appealed to me-as something a bit different than what I normally read, a fresh break.
Loved that I learned new words while reading this.
And a new take on the story of Cinderella. Like the concept of helping others by what she can learn from the different Godmother directions.
She is sent on journeys and must do certain things within a timeframe to advance to the next Godmother to learn all they can teach her. She must pass to become the Prince's wife.
Enjoyed the tales of the moon and its effectiveness along with tales of the moonstones. Properties of the herbs and spices really fascinated me. Love how this book goes full circle.
This is one of those books that you can read 3 times over and still find new things to learn.
Mythical, magical, spiritual takes you to where you need to go.… (mais)

I must admit that I wanted knowledge from Dr. Morse's book so desperately. Then, my eyesight was nearly lost after a fall down the basement stairs, resulting in me hitting the left side of my head on the concrete floor. So, I was trying desperately to read as best as I possibly could. I fell under the "Cinderella Syndrome", let's call it. I became irritated, causing me to feel jaded by this book. I thought "Great. Not another lesson on the law of attraction". I was about to write how I did not like the book as well as I anticipated. Then, I realized it was my attitude that was harming my happiness, not the book.

I just had to endeavour to reread it again, even though Netgalley had given me a free advance copy to read so I could give an honest review. I was not in a position to meet the deadline and fell under the evil spell most Disney witches try to throw at the heroine; not that I am implying that I am. The true heroine of this story is Dr. Morse, herself. I reread the book, regardless of the fact that it would take longer than I knew was expected. But, I am delighted that I did. Because, I found out that there is another book by Dr. Morse, "Awaiting the Fairy Godmother", as saw through the eyes of Cinderella. This book is perceived through the eyes of the Fairy Godmother. As Dr. Morse reminds us. "Fairytales are written for the purpose of implanting wisdom". After all, oral storytelling used to be the norm by generations past. It was handed down from father to son, etc.

What I cherished most about this book is that Dr. Morse wants us all to respond to the challenge of overcoming our complacency and stagnation, delve deep into ourselves and pull out our deepest desires. That, she says, is essential to achieve real happiness. Each chapter takes us step by step to act on our desires, doing something about becoming the happiest person you are supposed to be.

What was not entirely so appetizing to me was the repetition in the book. However, that is an important tool to be learned, or at least for me. Wax on, wax off. Trust me, however, that you will come away from this book transformed into a different person with goals and ambitions, and the willingness to act on those in order to find true happiness. If it did not belong to the Fairy Godmother showing up to chat with Cinderella, and pull out her deepest desires. Cindy may still be suffering hardship and stress, working herself into exhaustion. At least, this is how Dr. Morse tells it. She wants us all to rise up and become the best people we were meant to be.

I got an advance copy of this book from NetGalley in order to read and give my honest review.… (mais)
