Letting Go: An Ordinary Women’s Extraordinary Journey to Healing & Transformation by Nancy Kaiser is getting rave reviews at Amazon and Barnes & Noble’s online bookstores. The following are just a few. Read more here. 

 Excellent Book, September 10, 2008

Nancy has written an excellent book about her personal journey of transformation. She truly demonstrated how an unexpected negative and traumatic experience was her foundation for enormous spiritual growth. Nancy effectively demonstrates the balance between being fully human and honoring a higher truth. As I read the book, I could relate to her struggles and her commitment to overcome the struggles and move to a place of peace that came from within. I had a lot of ah ha moments as I read the book and learned a lot about myself in the process. I would highly recommend this book to anyone, but especially anyone who has been cataputled into a period of radical change in their life.

 Letting Go, October 13, 2008

This book touches on many transitional aspects of our lives. The author was faced with many major life changes within a relatively short period of time and shares her personal journey through the dark shadows of old beliefs into the light of new awareness and perception. Her writing is as though she were sitting across the table and talking to you. You can almost see the expressions she would be making while speaking. I would recommend this book to everyone. It is about all of us.

Letting Go can be purchased at Nancy’s website, Amazon or Barnes & Noble.

There are many deadly jobs in the country, but someone must do it.

With a suggested reform model presented, Woeppel explains the problem and also lays out a solution, giving “Depraved Indifference” a critical recommendation.
