Terry Cole-Whittaker
Bliss: It's More than a Five-Letter Word. One of Terry Cole-Whittaker’s book titles is quoted more often than any other I’m aware of. Frequently, I tell people that she didn’t need to write this book because the title says it all. The book is, “What You Think of Me is None of My Business.” After having several books under her belt as well as a huge television spiritual ministry in the 1980s, numerous workshop series and audio programs, Terry left the national limelight several years ago. As someone who has read all her books and who interviewed her years ago when she lived here in the Pacific Northwest, I was delighted when I received word from New World Library that Terry has a new book out. It’s called, “Live Your Bliss, Practices that Produce Happiness and Prosperity.” And, of course, I wanted to talk to her about bliss: who doesn’t want bliss in their life?

Penney Peirce
 Frequency: On How Energy Works. When Penney Peirce’s newest book, Frequency (Beyond Word Publishing) came in for review, I was immediately drawn to it. Oddly and out of character for me, I began to read, but then set it aside without finishing the entire book. A reader drew my attention to the book a few months later. I pulled it out, started reading, and didn’t want to put it down. This is one of the most practical spiritual books I have read. Lots of books talk about energy, but only a few really get to the nuts and bolts of it all. Frequency does that. And I discovered Penney had written another book called The Intuitive Way which is a 10-week course in how to develop one’s intuition. I knew I had to speak with the author to find out how she came up with the information.
