| Divine Guidance: How to Have a Dialogue with God and Your Guardian Angels by Renaissance Books Talking to & Receiving Guidance w/God and the Angels | A 1998 work by Angel Lady, this 285 page, 21 chapter book, is packed with info.
Chapters 1, 2, 3 are about having a dialogue with God and your Guardian Angels. This section explains how to invite the dialog, what it might sound like, how EVERYONE CAN talk with God and the angels and receive communication and guidance back. (No one is more or less worthy than another to speak with the Father, or Mother, if you prefer. We are His/Her children.)
Chapters 4, 5 are about discerning true guidance from false guidance. This section provides some pretty good clues and I like the way they are broken down. In my personal experience, working on this type of spiritual level can be very confusing, until we begin to get some validation, and recognize it as such. It is so very easy to doubt the information you receive because we have been taught to doubt and disbelieve. As a matter of fact, we've been taught that we are NUTS if we even think we are experiencing something "special" that others don't experience. An example from page 88, "True guidance sounds familiar---true guidance has a familiar ring to it, an "I knew that" quality.. . .You'll know it's true guidance by its underlying message, trust and have faith. False guidance will confront your aspirations and say Don't even try." There are a lot more of these:
--True
Has a loving and energetic feel to it
--False
Drains your enthusiasm and energy
--True
Surrounds you with warm loving energy
--False
Makes you feel cold, prickly, alone, afraid
--True
Empowers you
--False
Weakens you
And so on... Of course, there are explanations too. I found this section especially helpful as validation for my own guidance, especially when the message seems too good to be true. That's because the lower self/ego is telling you to be afraid because you might fail. Why? Because you might be wrong! (Well, God help me if I'm ever wrong! I might just implode or something.--I tell you what--if you spend your life being afraid of everything, the only part of you that will be happy is your ego. And when you go on to the happy hunting ground, you'll be full of the if-I-had-onlys.)
Chapters 6 through 19 are about the "Clairs":
Clairvoyance (seeing pictures/movies in your mind's eye)
Clairaudience (hearing guidance, a small voice inside or outside of your head)
Clairsentience (feeling via emotion, smell, tightened muscles, or touch)
Claircognizance (knowing something, without knowing how you know it)
You may have one or some or all of the Clairs. These chapters try to help you recognize your dominant Clair(s) and help you refine/increase it/them.
Chapters 20 and 21 cover advanced communication methods and co-creating with God. Tons of hints here with explanations. Here are just a few: 1) Purify your diet. Food has vibrations. Eat fresh fruit, vegetables, etc. Avoid alcohol, sugar, caffeine, etc. "The essence of all foods you eat affects you long after the food is digested and gone." (So true! I had to prove it to myself but you REALLY are what you eat!) 2) Spend time alone in nature (explanation) 3) Don't give in order to get (explanation) 4) etc.
If you don't know it already, Doreen is a counseling psychologist who also works with the angelic realm. She has published many books and CDs on communicating with the angels and related spiritual material, including meditations. Doreen also has published some excellent material on resolving issues so one can lose weight. I have quite a few of her publications and am quite happy with all of them. I have also attended one of her presentations in Manhattan in 2007. She gave some angel readings to the audience which were right on target for those receiving them. Doreen also includes many case studies from her psychological counseling sessions in this book. Of course, the names are altered to protect the privacy of her patients. Doreen has patients and students from all religious beliefs so don't think she is only here for any one religion or group, because she is here for EVERYBODY. Her messages are about God, angels, and love.
Lots of really good, useful information in this book, if you are ready to believe and to move forward on your spiritual path. But, if you don't want to hear God's name and you don't believe in the Angels, then don't buy this book. Buy a pizza instead and eat the whole thing!
God bless all in their quest for enlightenment. Namaste'.
| | Divine Guidance: How to Have a Dialogue with God and Your Guardian Angels by Renaissance Books Comprehensive tome on how to receive Divine guidance | Doreen clearly explains the principal ways we can learn to listen for and receive Divine guidance. She provides excellent examples and her guidelines about whether we're primarily visual, auditory, or sensory, were right on target for me (I'm auditory). I was impressed by the results of the exercises I've done so far and feel encouraged that I will increase my adeptness at hearing Divine Guidance. Her chart comparing Divine guidance with false guidance is excellent. I've wasted money on psychics searching for answers to some of my life's issues. I feel confident that I'll not be able to obtain the answers that are 100 percent accurate because they'll be coming from my own inner Divine guidance that knows me better than anyone!
In my personal opinion, some of the negative feedback on the book appear to be from individuals who have not read Doreen's advice carefully and are misinterpreting what she says. Of course, we all have a right to our opinion - but, I think one should read carefully before jumping to criticize. | | Divine Guidance: How to Have a Dialogue with God and Your Guardian Angels by Renaissance Books Can't read it enough | | I first borrowed this book from the library and then had to have my own copy. I've read it at least 4 times. I use it as a refresher. Doreen Virtue's book is a very clear, easy to understand guide to the angelic realm and how easy it is to open up clear communication channels with God and your angels. She explains the spiritual realm, the four clairs: clairvoyance, clairaudience, clairsentience and claircognizance, and shows you how to strengthen your clairs, your Divine guidance communication channels: seeing, hearing, feeling and knowing, respectively. There are easy meditations and exercises to do, too. And she gives real-life examples of how the clairs have worked in other people's lives. My only recommendation if you get the book and use the meditations is do some grounding or deepening induction before the meditation, because she goes right into the meditation without doing that. The messages that she makes clear in the book are that your angels are all around waiting to help you; all you have to do is ask and that we all have the ability to receive Divine Guidance and are worthy of it. | | Divine Guidance: How to Have a Dialogue with God and Your Guardian Angels by Renaissance Books Subtlely deceptive | It's hard not to like Doreen Virtue and all she talks about. She talks of many uplifting things. But then she downplays the role of Christ in the world. He is put at the status level of Ghandi and Buddha! Christians understand that this is a great falsehood.
So even though some good comes of following Doreen, her Source is not Christian angels and Christ. If you keep reading her stuff you'll be getting help from fairies, unicorns and angels instead of God himself. You decide if that's who you want to set your faith in.
As I said I like the woman and enjoyed her books I read, but after much soul searching I realized I was subtlely being brainwashed into putting my faith in the wrong things. So I must give the book one star because it's the only option available. | | Divine Guidance: How to Have a Dialogue with God and Your Guardian Angels by Renaissance Books Incredible | | Out of all the religious/spiritual books I've read in the last nine years, this is one of my favorites. I read the book from the local library and plan on buying it soon. I can't wait to read the follow up book Divine Prescriptions. | | Divine Guidance: How to Have a Dialogue with God and Your Guardian Angels by Renaissance Books Product Description | The same methods I [teach] my workshop audiences are in this book. These methods have successfully enabled thousands of my workshop attendees to receive Divine messages. My workshop audience members come from every conceivable age group, nationality, education and income level, and race. They are from Protestant, Catholic, New Thought, Mormon, Jewish, Buddhist, Muslim, agnostic, and countless other backgrounds. Just like my workshops, this book is for all faiths, because God sends messages and angels to everyone.

New Apple-related books
CARS: “While other book series by other ‘authors’ attempt to ‘inform’ you about ‘features’ and ‘ways’ you can use software or hardware ‘products,’ the Take Control of the Missing Manual for Dummies books will encourage you to let your id run amok through a vast technological landscape formed by people who actually do something for a living instead of living in their parents’ basement like you do.”

Serialized eBooks via RSS
Russell Beattie: “Many of us are too busy to read classic books out there, instead choosing ‘page turners’ or books that are more applicable to our every day lives (like a some new marketing book). But we do have time to zip through our aggregator daily, right? So by taking a 500 page novel and distributing it, a few pages at a time, via RSS, we could read a new book in a month or so without even trying.”

‘Building Cocoa Applications’ book released
MacCentral reports on O’Reilly’s new book ‘Building Cocoa Applications’ by Michael Mahoney and Simson Garfinkel. I haven’t read the entire book yet, but so far it appears to be more comprehensive than Aaron Hillegass’s book (a book I like very much). How the two books compare otherwise I can’t say yet.
