Title: “The Conscious Parent: Transforming Ourselves, Empowering Our Children”

Author: Shefali Tsabary

Rank: 37

Blurb: “In Dr. Shefali Tsabary’s conscious approach to parenting… children serve as mirrors of their parents’ forgotten self. Those willing to look in the mirror have an opportunity to establish a relationship with their own inner state of wholeness. Once they find their way back to their essence, parents enter into communion with their children, shifting away from the traditional parent-to-child ‘know it all’ approach and more towards a mutual parent-with-child relationship. The pillars of the parental ego crumble as the parents awaken to the ability of their children to transport them into a state of presence.”

Review: “If you are ready to experience your children as special agents on your spiritual journey, this book is your gospel.”

Title: “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings”

Author: Maya Angelou

Rank: 2

Blurb: “Sent by their mother to live with their devout, self-sufficient grandmother in a small Southern town, Maya and her brother, Bailey, endure the ache of abandonment and the prejudice of the local ‘powhitetrash.’ At eight years old and back at her mother’s side in St. Louis, Maya is attacked by a man many times her age — and has to live with the consequences for a lifetime.”

Review: “I am somewhat relieved that we were not permitted to read this book back in my high school literature class where many parents were opposed to it. I fear it would have caught me off guard in many respects. Many of the sexual themes running throughout the book are quite heavy and discussed in detail. Both the subjects of rape and teen pregnancy are covered and sex in general is frequently alluded to.”

Title: “One Nation: What We Can All Do to Save America’s Future”

Authors: Ben Carson and Candy Carson

Rank: 3

Blurb: “Knowing that the future of my grandchildren is in jeopardy because of reckless spending, godless government, and mean-spirited attempts to silence critics left me no choice but to write this book.”

Review: “A recent CNN program on race had a black host and five black panelists but NO WHITES. Yes, a discussion about race in which whites are not invited, and this is the norm. It is virtually impossible to get on the air and say anything negative about the gay lifestyle or agenda. One nation? Really?”
