5.0 out of 5 stars All about me, June 11, 1999

This review is from: The 12 Steps of Forgiveness: A Practical Manual for Moving from Fear to Love (Paperback)

I learned more than I ever wanted to know about myself by reading this book. The friend who gave it to me warned me that I would want to stop reading it. I did have to stop reading a few times and talk it out with her. It gave me an insight into myself and my attitude and definition of forgiveness I had never even imagined before. It has given me very useful tools that work. I will highly recommend this book to anyone who is struggling with forgiveness.

This is another one of the books of Paul Ferrini, I recently completed reading. After finding his work, I seem to want to read everything he has ever written. He is an important modern-day poet. His writing is beautiful prose to me. There is wisdom and truth in his work that is easy to assimilate, for me personally. I believe I was searching not to understand forgiveness for others, but to find forgiveness for myself, when I chose this book. I was looking for forgiveness for my own transgressions against myself and I believe I found it here. I was changed after reading this book. What is really unusual, is that I feel that way, after each book I complete, that he has written. We must be on eachother's spiritual path, our paths crossing at this time. Paul Ferrini, how did you learn all of these things? Each book I have read, I've had to pass along to a friend afterword because of the value I've gained from his work. He may become a most important author in the world. I feel honored to have found his work and heard his message. If you are seeking a teacher of love and spirituality, he will not disappoint you.

If you want to enter into a deep relationship with youself, this is the book for you. Each chapter reveals more about how we as humans try to keep a distance from ourselves through such means as projection, lack of self-acceptance and personal responsibility, judgment of ourselves and others, etc. I recognized myself in each chapter and really worked to keep my heart and mind open for the deeper message that he has to offer , about self-forgiveness being the most profound thing we can do for our own deepest healing. I have purchased about 10 add'l copies to give friends who are struggling. We all agree it is life changing if practiced.
