Easy to understand and easy to read. The celestial pictures that lie beneath the words capture the spirit of the book. The message is clear and I plan on buying a few copies to give out to people who will definately find their own spirituality. This book promises to provide an easy road for those of us who are traveling and trying to stay on the pavement.

It's one of those books you can read through, or just open and, if you want an answer, there it is. Wonderful art too - and a perfect gift - for yourself or another!

Maggie Wingfield has created a wonderful experience. *Academy of the Soul, Earth Campus* is a joy to read. Some of the subjects it talks about don't lend themselves to easy discussion, but the book is so well written and well-thought-out that it makes them seem totally accessible. It is a short book, but every page has a sentence or two that make thought blossom.

The author has incorporated thoughtful and sensitive graphics into each page, making the whole package feel even more comfortable and friendly. It is clearly a labor of love that the author shares with her readers. I really like this book.

I give Academy of the Soul five stars because it reaches its goal with excellence. Americans are a busy people. Many have little time to read, but still they are searching for answers to spiritual questions. And the goal of this compact book is to explain, in simple, clear terms the major premises of what many call the New Age movement. A walker on the New Age path can use Academy of the Soul for meditation. Or give it as a gift to someone curious about what New Age means but who has little time or inclination to read long, densely written texts or even popular but still very long books. The use of beautiful art to enhance the text also excellently evokes the mood and tenor of this movement. And if the reader's curiosity is seriously whetted, extensive notes and bibliography at the back will guide them to key New Age references for further exploration.

Academy of the Soul is a book with a gentle spiritual message that makes sense of life's confusion. The book is inspirational without being mawkish and full of vignettes illustrating the work of the Holy Spirit in ordinary lives. It's a small work of art and would make a wonderful gift for many occasions. It looks beautiful -- lots of wonderful photos and fits the hand perfectly. I recommend it's comforting message of hope to anyone who is looking for something to give a troubled friend, a person grieving the loss of love or a dream; anyone who is confused about her place in the great scheme of things will appreciate this little book that fits perfectly in a purse or briefcase.
