Summary: Not what it seemed...
Review: Free will....... Now that's a pesky proposition. Seems like a life with "free will" should have come with an instruction manual. Something that would explain the physics of action and reaction. Karma, so to speak. Seems like life should have come with an owner's manual that would be engaging and easy to apply. Well, Mary T. Browne has been kind enough to write these operating instructions for us. THE POWER OF KARMA is a brilliant, shining book that helps people make sense of their lives even when things don't make sense. Anyway. If you're looking for hard and fast answers, this book doesn't have them. It has something BETTER -- a way for you to find those "answers" through your own life's experience. In short, a way to manage your karma and find the authentic life that is your birthright.Walk on.

Summary: Want to find out more about dealing with issues?
Review: I absolutely loved this book. Mary Browne is apparently a fairly well known psychic, and she offers advice here in the form of cases from her files of clients dealing with life issues. The book summarizes the tales of the woman that can't stop spending money, of other women that feel they would be better off leaving their husbands for the men they are having affairs with, and many other interesting stories. Browne also discusses the issues of reincarnation and karma. She specifically goes into the effects on one's karma from various actions, which is interesting and believable, even if the concepts of reincarnation and karma are not ideas you believe in. The most interesting point of the book for me was the specifics she provided on going through past lives. For anyone that is interested in this kind of thing, you must pick up this book. I have already recommended it to one friend, and I believe she enjoyed it greatly. I need to get my mom to read this book, and plan to read more books by Mary Browne.

Summary: A Great Help
Review: I bought this book after reading "Life After Death" which I loved. I find both books to be a great guide for living. I have read this book at least five times and I always become a better person everytime.

Summary: A good message clouded by self-absorption
Review: I'm not going to bash this book because overall I found author Mary Browne's explanation of karma and anecdotal evidence of how it works to be effective and interesting.
But she could have reduced the size of this book and saved some trees in the process by cutting back on the amount of time she spends praising herself.
To say Mary Browne is full of herself is an understatement. This is an author who can barely get through a passage without shoe-horning in some reference to how gifted or evolved she is.
For instance, she brags that she has a spirit guide - something she points out that most people don't have because they just aren't good enough.
The descriptions of her sessions as a psychic to the wealthy ooze with arrogance, self-importance and condescension.
The only person she seems to believe has surpassed her at all is her mysterious teacher, Lawrence, whom she emphasizes selected her as a pupil presumably because - you got it - she was just so darn worthy.
The book is peppered with conversations between her and this near-perfect fellow in which they dazzle each other with their brilliance.
After reading this book, while the concept of karma was clearer, the author remained a puzzle. Is Mary Browne really as egotistical as she appears or is she so insecure that she feels the need to prove her importance to readers ad nauseum?
If it truly is karma to learn from the missteps of our current lives, perhaps the author can learn something from her own book and exercise a little humility in her next one.

Summary: A great Teacher
Review: Mary T. Browne never disappoints. In simple language, her lessons deliver understanding. In Love In Action, Mary T. explained how a life of service leads to fulfillment, satisfaction, peace and balanced karma. Life After Death explained the continuation of life and how karma always seeks balance. Like water seeking its own level, karma finds equilibrium in physical life or spiritual. No action lacks an equal reaction. Mary T. teaches that karma is action. The Power of Karma emphasizes this fact by supplying the reader with action. The serious reader has a supply of colored index cards and records the messages and keeps a Karma Journal. These exercises ensure that the reader/student is involved-action =karma.

Summary: I liked it at first
Review: When I first got this book I loved it but later when I got more into spiritual things I started to disagree with some of the things she says. All and all this is a good book.
