Story
Two dozen select prayer poems to learn from and live with. Poetry and prayer are closely related. We often look to poets to give language to our deepest hopes, fears, losses - and prayers. Poets slow us down. They teach us to stop and go in before we go on. They play at the edges of mystery, holding a tension between line and sentence, between sense and reason, between the transcendent, and the deeply, comfortingly familiar. When Poets Pray contains thoughtful meditations by Marilyn McEntyre on choice poems/prayers and poems about prayer.

Story
The ancient Toltecs believed that life, as we perceive it, is a dream. We each live in our own personal dream, and these come together to form the dream of the planet, or the world in which we live. Problems arise when our perception of the dream becomes clouded with negativity, drama, and judgment (of ourselves and others), because it's in these moments of suffering that we have forgotten that we are the architects of our own reality and we have the power to change our dream if we choose.

Words. We use them all the time, every day, mostly without giving them much thought at all. We take for granted that they’re here at our disposal whenever we need them. But if you’ve ever wished you could communicate more effectively, words are the place to start. It’s incumbent upon you to choose the best words to accomplish your goals, because how you choose to communicate influences—well, everything! The power of communication shapes our professional goals, our relationships, and our lives—so the words we choose to use carry a great deal of power.

Models is the first book ever written on seduction as an emotional process rather than a logical one, a process of connecting with women rather than impressing them. It's the most mature and honest guide on how a man can attract women without faking behavior, without lying and without emulating others. A game-changer.

Inspiring stories!
Listening to the inspiring stories in the first section was like unlocking a treasure trove of wisdom. "The Hidden Treasure Within" resonated with me, reflecting on the richness that can be found within ourselves even in challenging times. The narrative served as a gentle reminder to appreciate the small moments and embrace change positively. It triggered memories of a personal journey, making the experience relatable and comforting.

Great idea
A great idea for a book - uplifting and inspirational stories for older people. It definitely brought a smile to my face listening to these stories. The stories are heartwarming and positive and provide great stimulation which is needed as you get older to keep everything ticking over. Hoping there will be another one :)

Not just for seniors!
As an avid consumer of audiobooks, I recently had the pleasure of experiencing the joyous collection presented in "Unforgettable Tales for Seniors." The author begins by explaining the benefits of reading for seniors. It increases neural pathways in the brain which can help with memory and overall well-being!
This audiobook brought a big smile to my face, beginning with the joyful picture on the cover (which reminded me of the movie Up immediately)! The narrator, Gracie Maughmer, had a very calming and mature voice--a perfect match for a book for seniors! The book is broken up into stories that are 3-5 minutes long--just the right timing to listen to a story while finishing up some dishes or while waiting in line for a coffee.
If you're seeking a delightful, heartwarming escape that transcends age, this audiobook is a must-listen. Whether you're a senior looking for mental stimulation or simply someone in need of a dose of positivity, these 50 short stories are a balm for the soul. Highly recommended!

Loved this book of heart-warming stories
What an amazing book, filled with 50 wonderful stories meant to inspire you, and keep your mind active and heart warm. You will laugh and you might get a bit teary-eyed. These stories cover the spectrum of emotions, but gently.
The narrator is perfectly cast to evoke emotions and encourage reflection. The characters come to life as the stories are told.
Buy this book for the holidays and enjoy with family and friends. I will be watching for the author's next book to add to my library!
