BirthQuake: Journey to Wholeness [Abridged] [Audio Cassette]

Tammie, B. Fowles (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: February 1, 1998

The Birthquake: Journey to Wholeness series is one of those rare finds written by a psychotherapist that not only enlightens, inspires, and comforts - it befriends and embraces the listener. It's the culmination of the author's many years of research, clinical experience and perhaps most importantly, her own life lessons. The BirthQuake series is an invaluable tool for anyone who has ever struggled or stands anxiously at a crossroad.

Review

"As I experience my own BirthQuake, listening to the Birthquake tapes made me feel comforted. I found them inspirational and fascinating and have listened to them several times. The tapes are helping me realize that it only takes a slight shift in direction to begin to change my life; that I am writing my life story with every single day. Through the insights offered on the tapes, I am beginning to believe that my life is built upon layers of everyday accomplishments. By believing this, setting goals and taking small risks is becoming nothing more than a daily striving to make my life better. The BirthQuake series is helping me to do that. I highly recommend them - they should be required listening for every baby boomer!" -- Cindy Widdos, Columbia, 5/98

"BirthQuake by Tammie Fowles is the most satisfying reading I have yet seen in the field of psychotherapy. When you think of BirthQuake, think of an earthquake. Dr. Fowles uses the term to describe what happens to people when they come face to face with what they believe is unfaceable. The anecdotes in the book will bring tears of joy, grief, and spiritual confirmation to your eyes. " -- Earl H. Roberts, TaleWins, 4/98

"EXTRAORDINARY! I began this book with trepidation believing it would be another salve for the wounded spirit which might touch a little insight here and there, but basically result in little or no real help. I was wrong! There are so many books which boast help for those going through a divorce, the emotional upheaval after the loss of parents, the victims of crimes, the disenchanted, the depressed, the loveless, and the dispirited. Birthquake is a working book which guides you through your crisis, whether you are coming out, going in, or just living the results of the crisis.

Well documented with the research and work of the most notable psychologists, Fowles applies her science to life experience (her own and others') The result is help of the most useful kind in dealing with change, whether it is change we have chosen or change that was forced upon us.

Easy to follow, Fowles' voice lends itself well to tape, there are no distractions, the occasional male voice is welcome and tonally pleasant requiring no change in volume. I found the four tapes easy to break into sessions and would highly recommend the book to a study group or to almost any individual." -- Gale Marrs, Audiobook Review, 10/98

5.0 out of 5 stars I got more out BirthQuake then years of therapy, March 31, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: BirthQuake: Journey to Wholeness (Audio Cassette)

Listening to BirthQuake changed my perspective about a great number of things, and is some remarkable and yet suttle way has shifted the very nature of my days. I tend to experience them differently now. The tapes were a gift from a friend and have clearly become a gift that just keeps on giving. I strongly recommend them.

"Birthquake comforts you while you listen, from the soothing voice of Tammie Fowles to the stories collected from experiences in her own life as well as others. It visits a number of issues that we deal with in our lives and brings joy, sadness, spiritual growth and empowerment. I highly recommend the series, it's a great learning tool for people in or coming out of crisis, as well as those who are healing or have healed from "quakes" in their lives. Birthquake is a stepping stone each time you listen to it, embracing you as you walk down different paths of life's journey."
