Amazing Grace: The Nine Principles of Living in Natural Magic [Paperback]

David Wolfe (Author), Nick Good (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: April 1, 2008

It’s official; embraced by everyone from stars like Uma Thurman and Woody Harrelson to average people who are seeking the best health possible, raw food and the live food lifestyle is “in.” But making that transition can be a challenge. That’s where Amazing Grace comes in. Written by raw-foods authority David Wolfe with life coach Nick Good, this combination of personal story and motivational guide offers a wealth of ways to improve life, health, and spirit by adopting this nurturing, intuitive lifestyle. Amazing Grace shares Wolfe’s secrets on how to become a superhero and lead a life full of fun, synchronicity, and magic. These secrets are based both on the personal experiences of the authors and the seven principles of Huna, the ancient Hawaiian shamanic tradition. With the addition of Grace and Forgiveness, they comprise nine powerful principles for success.

Equally useful whether reading cover to cover, sampling for nuggets of wisdom and inspiration, or retaining as a reference for support and guidance, Amazing Grace shows readers how to experience a new yet basic paradigm of possibility in an increasingly complex and confusing world.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“There is something different here, with high appeal to anyone that still does believe that we are powerful beyond belief, and that indeed, magic does exist. Encouraging us to step outside the confines of the lies that we’ve been told, and more importantly—the lies we’ve told ourselves—the how-to message of this book is how to become a superhero.”
—Reader Views

“What I really love about [Amazing Grace] is the positive energy that flows so freely from every page…This is a book I’ll read over and over again, savoring every detail; pass on and recommend to friends; and put to use in my every day life.”

5.0 out of 5 stars This is David Wolfe's best book., November 11, 2008

This review is from: Amazing Grace: The Nine Principles of Living in Natural Magic (Paperback)

I found this to be the most interesting of Wolfe's books though it touches only lightly upon raw foods. The main thrust of the message is that we are all about to witness the greatest story ever as we take back the planet from the Illuminati (yes, David and Nick go out on a limb and use the "I" word!) As they say on p. 12, "As the story unfolds, the Illuminati are enacting a pre-planned, very well-organized agenda that is being played out by the owners of the banking-military-pharmaceutical-petrochemical-agri-business-industrial complex to the detriment of the human family and out Mother Earth." As they point out, if you don't believe in the Illuminati, you can think of it as a metaphor for the "powers that be."

What do they inspire you to do in this book? "Stop working for Big Brother and start working for the Mother...quit your job and become a superhero." A "superhero" is one who listens for his true calling and heeds that messages and clues of synchronicity, partaking in his/her highest mission.

Although David continues to tout that "You are what you eat" outweighs "You are what you think," this book steers you toward more positive thinking and beliefs. There are useful tips such as the importance of writing goals. (The example is given of a couple who persistently wrote their goal to win the lotto, and won within months!)

This book was written fearlessly, boldly, and with great enthusiasm and optimism. There are even some somewhat shocking confessions such as shamanistic journeys using ayahuasca (which can be done legally through a church that uses it). It also includes great tips on Ormus, the higher minerals that make just eating raw food seem like kindergarten.

Congratulations, David and Nick, on an excellent book!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Stunning, Affirming and Transformative Worthy Companion and Guide, June 2, 2009

(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Amazing Grace: The Nine Principles of Living in Natural Magic (Paperback)

Amazing Grace has caught me exactly where I am and made me say YES YES YES throughout its pages! This book is not only transcendent but so life-affirming, empowering, awakening, sharpening the truth into magic and vice verse, that I am thrilled to have found it and taken the leap to buy it/read it knowing so little about it and it's authors. I got this book because I am just beginning to take the Raw Food Road and David Wolfe is an inspiring excited voice in this field. When I saw this book listed with his others(this book is authored by David Wolfe and NIck Good), I was really drawn to it visually and verbally. The writing is exquisite, enlivening, and so PRO YOU, it's like having the cosmos as your cheerleader. I feel so amazing reading it, and after reading from it, that I truly believe this is one of those books which will RAISE YOUR VIBRATION!!! The writing is so spontaneously mesmerizing, that I can only imagine what magic transpires when these two beings gather together in person. If you want some YES in your life, and you're ready to step into a multi-dimensional life, this book is the book you want with you, take it on a road trip, a quest, let it answer that lingering question you have about yourself in this universe...LET these voices guide you and REMIND you that what YOU ARE CAPABLE OF ON EARTH IS LIMITLESS!

5.0 out of 5 stars TOP BOOK!, May 20, 2008

By 

HARMONY (Santa Cruz CA.) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Amazing Grace: The Nine Principles of Living in Natural Magic (Paperback)

Be prepared if you are gonna take on this book-not likely for you if you are not receptive and open. I put this in my top 2 books out of my personal library of more than 1200 books (last count!) This is co authored by David Wolfe but is not all about the raw life (although it is a topic, as it should be!) but more into deep consciousness, if you can even call it that. This book I feel I can't even describe-that being a good thing. When words won't suffice only the experience will do. I had a very "special" nights sleep after reading this before bed-one of the strangest (meaning good, as strange usually defines out of the ordinary and that is always good!) sleeps I have ever had. I would love to meet and join those that read this and get it,love it and live it! Love you ALL!
