Book Description

April 1, 2004
In Apprentice of the Heart, Guy Finley takes us along on his own journey to Divine Love. He begins by explaining the essence of love, in all its many forms. Then, in melodic prose punctuated by soaring poetry, he offers a spiritual seeker’s journal, prepared during a critical period in the awakening process. This revealing work conveys, like no other, the yearning, the passion, the disappointment, and the moments of sweet fulfillment met by every traveler along this higher path.

More About the Author

Best-selling "Letting Go" author Guy Finley's encouraging and accessible message is one of the true bright lights in our world today. His ideas go straight to the heart of our most important personal and social issues - relationships, success, addiction, stress, peace, happiness, freedom - and lead the way to a higher life.

Finley is the acclaimed author of The Essential Laws of Fearless Living and more than 38 other books and audio programs that have sold over a million copies in 18 languages worldwide. In addition, he has presented over 4,000 unique self-realization seminars to thousands of grateful students throughout North America and Europe over the past 30 years and has been a guest on over 500 television and radio shows, including national appearances on ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, NPR, and many others.

Finley is Director of Life of Learning Foundation, the renowned non-profit Center for Self-study in Merlin, Oregon, and his popular Key Lesson e-mails are read each week by over 200,000 subscribers in 142 countries. His work is widely endorsed by doctors, business professionals, celebrities, and religious leaders of all denominations.

Guy's career reached this point through a circuitous path. Born into a successful show business family, he is the son of Late-Night TV and radio pioneer Larry Finley. His childhood friends were the sons and daughters of the most famous celebrities in the world. As a young man Guy enjoyed success in a number of areas including composing award-winning music for many popular recording artists including Diana Ross, Debbie Boone, The Jackson 5, Billy Preston, The Four Seasons, as well as writing the scores for several motion pictures and TV shows. From 1970-1979 he wrote and recorded his own albums under the Motown and RCA recording labels.

Throughout his youth, Guy suspected there was more to life than the type of worldly success that led to the emptiness and frustration he saw among his own "successful" friends and colleagues. In 1979, after travels throughout North America, India and the Far East in search of truth and Higher Wisdom, Guy voluntarily retired from his flourishing music career in order to simplify his life and to concentrate on deeper self-studies.

In addition to his writing and appearance schedule, Guy presents four inner-life classes each week at Life of Learning Foundation headquarters in Merlin, Oregon. These classes are ongoing and open to the public. For more information about Guy Finley, and his life-changing work, visit www.guyfinley.org

5.0 out of 5 stars Phenomenal, August 12, 2004
This review is from: Apprentice of the Heart (Paperback)
I first came across Guy Finley when I stumbed upon his original best-seller, "The Secret of Letting Go." What an incredible discovery that was. I can still remember the excitement of those first few weeks pouring over the book night after night after night. I know it sounds strange, but it was as though I had been eating imaginary food up to that point, and finally had been given my first real meal.

Here's the strange part. Prior to finding Finley's books, I had read the big names in the self-help field - the Coveys, the Robbins, the Dyers - and the rest. But what amazed me was that, here was an author I'd never even heard of before, yet somehow his writings supplied the missing ingredient that finally began resolving the problems I'd been battling for years.

My hat's off to Mr. Finley for the extraordinary path he must've traveled to be able to put these works together.

And "Apprentice of the Heart" is no exception. It's simply magnificient. It's style is remarkably different from his earlier works, and it has a very lofty, inspiring, and poetic presence behind it. One thing you'll love about this book is its honesty. Mr. Finley talks very openly about the real day-to-day struggles and difficulties we all face, but which we're often reluctant to admit -- but then he goes on to reveal the subtle secrets that actually restore life's natural sweetness.

Get this book. It will stir your heart to levels you never thought possible.

5.0 out of 5 stars Soul Stirring, August 10, 2004
This review is from: Apprentice of the Heart (Paperback)
A subtle treasure, 'Apprentice of the Heart" is unique among spiritual books I've read. The author, Guy Finley, goes beyond simply sharing his inner adventure to Divine Love. Somehow he captures the longing and unquenchable thirst that all seekers know, and puts it into words. He asks us in a poem at the end of one of the book's chapters:

"Don't the walls of your heart
Ache to break loose and open
The floodgates of freedom?"

If that stanza resonates with you, I recommend you read this book. You'll love it. The poem continues:

"You have riches untold,
But have lost the map to the upper regions of yourself
Where you are always overflowing.

So forget this world with its intermittent streams
Whose waters begin and end.
Search out the Ocean and stand in Her surge
Until the waves wash away the shores of your soul."

"Apprentice" is a soul-stirring journey to the heart of Love.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beyond Self Help, May 7, 2004
By 
Shauna (Palo Alto, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Apprentice of the Heart (Paperback)
I've read a few Guy Finley books before and have seen him in person. In my opinion, his teachings go way beyond other self-help and spiritual ideas/systems. I think this new book of his is the best yet. It is written differently from other self-help/spiritual books (I've read a lot), and is a mix of poetry and regular writing. I learned a tremendous amount about myself and about Love from it and have used a lot of the information to help the relationships with my family and my partner. I would recommend it to anyone young or old.
