In The Handbook for Perfect Beings, B. J. Wall provides a step-by-step guide to working with the eight principles, or laws, that govern creation. This Guidebook is designed as a companion, to promote a deeper understanding of the Universal Laws. It can help you lead a happier, more rewarding and spiritual life.

In the Guidebook, Wall shares stories and life experiences to help you understand the Universal Laws on a deeper, more personal level. She explains how you can apply the Laws to finances, relationships and other aspects of everyday life. Each chapter contains special "challenges" to test your understanding and promote self-discovery.

As Wall writes, "Remember first that these laws are not to be viewed as rules in the traditional sense. You cannot break them. Try to view these laws as blueprints to the universe that define and describe our soul's inner workings. If you notice, they aren't saying that this is the only way 'or else.' Quite the contrary, you will learn a lot of great stuff about yourself you probably haven't heard before."

Here, the spiritual and the practical join hands to provide you with a unique guide to successful living.

Suppose all life operated according to a few basic laws.

Understand these laws, understand life.

Live according to the laws, live a productive and successful life.

Now you know such laws exist.

Put them to work in your life today.

 "Understand how to live your life more effectively" 2003-04-12
By A. J. Bray (lowestoft, suffolk)
This is a vitally important book for most people. It recognises that humans are really spiritual beings that have a deeper purpose for being here than is perhaps realised by the majority of us. As society evolves we get so wrapped up in materialistic living because that is how we 'progress'. The sad fact is that being an office manager, tradesman, salesperson or whatever are all man made occupations that we tend to get caught up in and diverted from spiritual, not religious, life.
B J Wall tells us how our actions work and the consequences arising. This is valuable stuff.
As she implies, 'if you continue to do the things the same way that you have always done, you will continue to get the same results that you have always experienced'. Not 'rocket science' I know, but how many of us have realised that? Speaking for myself, I sometimes have 'gone back' several times for more before I finally got 'the message'.
Our schooling in this country concentrates on academic subjects and too much emphasis is put on 'achievement'. If we are to 'mature' as individuals and concentrate on things that are probably far more important than aquisitions, then the principles in this book are for you.
My only criticisms concerning this book are references to Angels and that the author states that we choose our parents before we are born. Both may be true, but for now, my level of understanding makes it difficult for me to accept and detracts slightly from other points made.

However, B J Wall has made a valuable contribution to my own life and I suspect many others if only they have the good fortune to come by this book.
I have every intention of buying her first book 'Handbook for Perfect Beings' which in and ideal world I would have read first.

 "Very validating and an easy read" 2009-08-10
By Mary Vaughn
I read this book on the recommendation of another professional who wanted my opinion on this book. I ended up reading half of it in just one afternoon, and probably could have read the whole thing in a day if I did not have other responsibilities.



The message I received from the book is so different from other media sources telling overweight individuals that they are wrong; this book encourages, supports, and validates overweight people that they deserve so much more. I did not receive the message from this book that it is encouraging anyone to ignore their health or that being unhealthy is positive. It says it in the title: your natural weight. Some people, no matter how much they diet, will never be a size 8...or a size 12...or a size 16, but they are healthy and live healthy lifestyles. So why beat yourself up? Also what if someone is in their weight loss journey and along the way, they are supposed to feel horrible about themselves until their goal weight? No. There should not be shame or hiding. She encourages you to be proud of yourself, which should never be contingent on weight.

 "Don't Weight to Love Yourself" 2006-12-30
By John P. Morgan (Beautiful San Dimas, CA)
I love women. In fact, before I got married I loved as many as I could. It's a joke, c'mon, laugh...but anyway, the thing that I think is so great about women is that they come in a variety of shapes and sizes. I've always been attracted to women who are, shall we say, a little "fuller" than those size 0 models that you see "gracing" the covers of the various magazines. I have a friend who says he has his "standards" when dating women. They must be a size 1 or smaller. Now here's a guy who is bald, has a beer gult, and smells like maynonaise that's been left out in the sun for too long, and he has standards...geesh...I tell him that if he wants someone who is a size 1 or lower, why doesn't he start dating little boys? Women are supposed to be full bodied. Women are supposed to have hips, breasts, and even a little belly, and y'know what, it is sexy, it is attractive, it is beautiful. I believe that women with curves are symbols of prosperity, wealth, and abundance.



Now, I'm not talking about obesity. I'm not talking about people out there who are just eating themselves to death. I'm talking about women who are a little fuller, a little rounder, a little more robust...women like Oprah, Tyra Banks, Jennifer Lopez, my wife. Besides ladies, do you really wanna know what most men find sexy? Confidence, certainty, charisma. My wife has the most incredible sense of humor. She has to. She married me. (There, I beat you to the punch) But, she can have me in stitches and if more and more people...not just women...let their inner light shine, they would be attract true love, true joy, true peace. Of course, there will always be those people who are shallow and superficial and just judge by appearances, but like my bald , paunchy, buddy they judge others but do not see themselves.



This book is a great book, a wonderful book and I am happy that people are reading it, but what would make me even happier is if people...particularly you women, is if you really did believe it, accept, embrace it, and embody it. The world needs another wounded soul like we need another Bush in office. We need people who are spiritually, mentally, and emotionally empowered. We need people who can look at their reflections in the mirror and say, "Hello, you beautiful child of God!"



Love yourself. Be happy with yourself. Accept yourself for who you are. It's a funny thing, but we become who we truly are when we allow ourselves the gift of Love. Diet and exercise only help things, but SELF-love and SELF-acceptance are keys to making your diet and exercise program successful.



You are beautiful because Spirit made you that way. May the old, lumpy caterpillar die to its old ways of being and may the beautiful butterfly come forth. You are loved, because you are LOVE.



Peace & Blessings,

john, 'the Light Coach'

 "Written from the point of view of a woman who is on your sid" 2005-05-14
By Jeanette Stingley (Ohio)
Written from the point of view of a woman who is on your side, Carol Johnson had given us a book for a person of any size. Ms. Johnson is a research sociologist and certified psychotherapist. She is the founder of LargelyPositive.com. This website has been a great help to me even before I began writing here at BellaOnline.com.



Just reading the first line of Chapter 1 will get you siked up to read this book cover to cover. "Buckle up! You are about to take a journey unlike any you've been on before - at least in this society, because by the time we reach our destination, a place called `Largely Positive', you will no longer allow your size and weight measure your self-worth." She keeps to her work in this statement. The way she advises us isn't in a corny way that makes you roll your eyes like some self-esteem books I have read.



One of my favorite chapters of the book is Chapter 2 - "Separating Fact From Fiction." In this chapter, she presents facts of why most overweight people stay overweight or struggle with taking the pounds off. One theory about obesity that she points out is that many people believe is the gene factor. She says researchers haven't been able to pinpoint only one single gene that predispositions us for obesity but rather there are many different factors that can be looked at, such as you ancestry and immediate family members.



Her statement on page 41 really helped me in feeling better. "Larger people are biologically and physiologically different from thin people. It has nothing to do with willpower. It has nothing to do with your character." Every thin person who makes fun of larger people nee to read Chapter 2. I don't know how many times a thin person has commented to me how easy it is to lose weight and the tings I tell them (like all the women in my family are overweight) they say are me making excuses for my weight.



Another useful chapter is Chapter 4 - "Acceptable Discrimination". Not only does she point out the most common discriminations that most people go through but some that I hope I would never have to endure. Through this chapter she empowers us to recognize discrimination and ways to fight back.



Even though this isn't the typical workbook type book like a lot of self-help books, Chapter 5 offers a great section on working through how you developed the feeling you have now about your body and how to begin to except the size you are.



I could just go on and on about this book. Thank Gods I had a free weekend to read it because I couldn't put it down! I recommend this for anyone struggling with their body image and also to anyone who looks down on us. You will learn that just because someone is overweight doesn't mean we aren't healthy, happy, productive individuals

 "A life changing book!" 2003-11-16
By
I put off buying this book for a long time for whatever reason, but am so glad i finally did! This is a life-changing book. For those of us who struggle with weight and everything that goes with it, this book is for us. It reminds us that there is more to life than what size we are and has some really good resources of where to find clothing, shoes, etc. I highly recommend this book. It is right up there with Hirschman and Munter's book, Overcoming Overeating and When Women Stop Hating Their Bodies. This is a keeper!

 "Self Esteem DOES come in all sizes" 2003-05-08
By
I read Carol Johnson's book a long time ago, before it's revision and it truly changed my mind about myself. While I am not obese, I have weight issues that I have dealt with since my first diet at age 12. I think that some of the other customer reviewers have missed the point of the book. I don't believe that Carol Johnson ever denied that healthy eating and exercise are a very big part of being healthy. What she does emphasize is that even those who eat healthy foods in reasonable portions and who exercise to their best ability may not fit into what one reviewer called "normal" status. "Normal" is one of those words that some people use to keep prejudice going. What is normal anyway? There certainly isn't one definition for that word, because what you feel is normal is different from what I feel. That's because we are viewing it with a subjective rather than objective eye. Self esteem is vital to success; whether it be in school, business or your personal life. I believe that Carol Johnsons' book supports self esteem for all people, regardless of their size. And that is the point, my friends. Thin people are not necessarily better or smarter than heavy people; the so-called "experts" out there would just like us to believe that it is so.

 "Love it - doesn't require anything" 2009-02-09
By Juder Kuipers
Most activity books require random stuff like egg cartons, etc. This is truly activities you can do anywhere with no props. Sorted into sections like "grocery store activities" or "waiting room activities". Love it!!

 "Kept in the car and put to good use daily!" 2007-11-24
By Amy R. Balenzano (Spokane, WA USA)
This book is a lifesaver sometimes. It's enabled me to avoid cranky kid meltdowns in public places several times over. I keep it in the glove box of the car so we have it on hand for waiting in line, dr. office visits, waiting at restaraunts, airplane trips, etc. Anytime kids are antsy and complaining about waiting somewhere- pull out this little gem and get them busy with a distraction. Every frazzled parent needs one of these!

 "Should be delivered by a stork to every parent 3 years after birth!!!" 2007-11-05
By Rob Marquess
Coming in at a small size of 4-inches wide, 6-inches tall and about an inch thick... this book is worth quantum times more than its size. It should be delivered by your family's stork on your kids' third birthdays! It's a must have for every diaper bag! It's even as critical in your minivan as gasoline!



The opening line is a quote from Cesare Pavese, "We do not remember days... we remember moments." And, this book is meant to create a lifetime of childhood memories in those everyday life events where we all have a few moments to spare (many of which you don't realize you have!): waiting for food in restaurant, waiting in line at grocery store, waiting in a waiting room, long drives, short drives, even when mom and dad are just plain ol' busy, etc.



Here's some examples that I'm gonna randomly open the book and include:



Once the waiter takes your drink order, choose one family member as a guesser. The rest pass a penny from person to person underneath the table until the drinks arive. Once they do, everyone puts their closed hands on the table. The guesser then must guess who holds the penny. It's not rocket science. It's quick. It's fun. And, it beats watching the kids try to color on the back of the menu with the lousy yellow restaurant crayon that breaks into 50 small pieces!



Waiting forever for the doctor to arrive? Have your child draw their body double on the crinkly white paper that covers the examination table. Color in eyes, nose, clothing, where it hurts, etc. This makes the time go faster and distracts the discomfort your little one might be having that brought them to the doctor in the first place.



Got a drive the kid's aren't looking forward to? Have one come up with a secret category in their head (billboards, blue pickup trucks, cars with something on their roof). Each time you pass it on your drive, your child counts out loud the number of times they see their category item. Everyone else must guess the category. The correct guesser goes next.



The book's even loaded with cool little tips. Got kids who can't sit still? Keep them in the car as you drive through the drive-through. Once you get your food, unload them. Go inside and eat immediately from the sack vs. the tray!



Buy the book to get the other 321 great ideas. It's cheaper than one hour's worth of babysitting! And, your kids will remember these moments with you forever!!!

"God lives in my hometown."

History associates four ancient world capitals as having "seven hills:" Byzantium, Babylon, Jerusalem, and Rome. On seven hills four hours south of Washington, D.C., sits Lynchburg, Virginia, a town built on a river and put together with good intentions. Over one-hundred churches in fifty square miles.

Brooks White lives in these hills; too old to be a teenager, too young to be an adult. Every day he strives to be what the people around him become so easily; happy with themselves and joyful in their faith. He is surrounded by the normalcy of a town full of people waiting to die.

Brought home by the suicide of his childhood friend, Brooks is comforted by a white haired girl who seems to show up as his loved ones pass away. Their story is the pain, agony, Japanese wrestling, and grilled cheese that comes with living.

 "Good if you're at all interested in Lynchburg, VA..." 2006-12-19
By Tara Walker (CT)
Having recently moved to Lynchburg, I came upon this book while searching for books about the city. It sounded interesting, and I was excited to read it. I will say that it was a decent book; however, I definitely had to plow through some parts. I agree with one of the previous reviewers that B. Thompson Stroud's writing is most likely an acquired taste. I feel it is worthy to mention that it was not only neat to read about some of the places I have come to know in this city--not many people write about little old Lynchburg--as well as have some amusing anecdotes about pop culture.

 "An honest and heartfelt novel" 2005-09-12
By Lindy Kempe (Cleveland, Ohio)
There really isn't much I can say about Seven Hill City that hasn't already been said. This book is very easy to relate to on a basic level because it is something everyone has to go through: to grow up. We each go through it in a different way and it can be hard and disappointing in some cases, but it is a reality we all must face. With so many specific parts that I loved to the story, it's hard to go through and list every single one. Overall, it's the honest way that B treats the story that makes me love it so much. It's not a glossed over hollywood ending or a mauldin tragedy, it's just real. The thoughts and emotions of someone in their early twenties is something that is hard to capture, but B manages to do so successfully. I highly reccommend this book for all of these reasons and so much more.

 "I am a better person for reading Seven Hill City" 2005-03-03
By just joel (wenatchee, washington)
I have read B's stuff for a little while now, and when I found out that he wrote a book I jumped on the opportunity to purchase. I truly enjoyed this book. Every chapter hit me in a different way and I thought about my life while I read. He helped me find things out about my relationship with god that I never would have by myself. I am a much happier person, and I guess you could say that his book 'changed my life'. It is so well executed that I actually cried during one of the chapters, and you can tell that he put his heart and soul into his book. Order this book today. It is well worth the time and the money, and you will not regret it I promise you.

 "Not too shabby, but won't get plugged by Oprah." 2005-01-25
By J. Kloster
I wouldn't rate this 5 stars, but it was a decent read. The parts about pop culture are pretty good, but the "drama" can be a little plodding. Definitely an acquired taste.

 "this is why b=best" 2004-07-01
By mandolynn (orlando, fl, USA)
i am a long time fan of b's work. when i heard on wd that he wrote a book, i was like 'YES!! I HAVE TO GET IT!!!' it was a million times better than i expected (and i had high expectations, which makes it really really good!! if that makes ANY SENSE WHAT-SO-EVER.)

but yeah, the book was absolutely wonderful and it sits in the drawer under my bed so i can quickly get to it and read. the characters are very vivid and the imagination was awesome. there were some parts that i didn't understand, but they were later explained, and i liked that element of the story. I do love the ending also, its just so...unreal. i love it.
