- The Power of Now, by Eckhart Tolle. If you haven't read this book buy two, read one and give the second as a gift. This is my favorite book. Tolle focuses on one concept; that life is now. Focusing on now allows one to avoid much of the complication and difficulty brought on by worry for the future or guilt about the past. Best of all, a focus on now eliminates fear.
- Ask and it is Given, by Esther and Jerry Hicks. If you've always wanted to control your own destiny, create your own tomorrow, and bring your dreams to reality, you'll want to read Ask and It Is Given. This is part of the Teachings of Abraham series, and is a very powerful and easily understood manual for creating just the life you desire. When you give this book you're giving the power to attract one's dreams.
- Friendship with God, by Neale Donald Walsch. A most unusual and thought provoking book by the author of Conversations with God. For anyone on your list who questions God, religion, and life, this book provides insights and perspectives that are comforting and encouraging. What if we could form a friendship with God, interacting with love instead of fear? This is a gift for the open-minded, inquisitive person.
- The Power of Intention, by Dr. Wayne Dyer. Dr. Dyer, a frequent guest on PBS radio, has many wonderful books, but my favorite is The Power of Intention, which comes at the Law of Attraction from a broad perspective and is well worth the reinforcement of a second view of attracting the life one desires.
- Tuesdays with Morrie, by Mitch Albom. "Once you learn how to die, you learn how to live," Morrie Schwartz said to his former student, Mitch Albom. This is just one of the pearls of life captured in Tuesdays with Morrie.Morrie contracts ALS, Lou Gehrig disease, and is dying. His former student, Albom, comes to visit each Tuesday and they talk about life and death and everyday things. Albom records these Tuesday conversations in a heartwarming and peaceful little book that features a courageous Morrie facing death full on.You might wonder at giving a Holiday gift dealing with death. But Albom captures Morrie's positive outlook on life and death, delivering a message of treasured life and accepted mortality that is warm, loving, and comforting. The undercurrent of a powerful student/teacher relationship reinforces how important relationships are to us, and is especially appropriate at this time of year.
Though not the most recent publications, these books are still in print with messages that are both timeless and timely.
