5.0 out of 5 stars This book made me feel normal, August 27, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Autobiography of a Modern Prophet (Paperback)

I could hardly put this book down. I have read all of Harold Klemp's books and this is by far the best yet. I felt his pain, his joy and his frustration of not understanding the workings of Spirit in his life before he became a Leader of a Religion. I am in my 60's and remember experiences as a child and tried to tell my family of them and usually the response was one of smiles, saying that it was all fantasy or perhaps a dream and meant nothing. Harold validated me and my experiences.

The hardships of being a Master in this present day would be a mamoth ordeal for anyone and Harold Klemp with his deep ingrained committment,and love for God had brought him through to what he is today...a clear pure vehicle for Spirit. I can now imagine what Jesus and Buddha experienced with the frustrations of the consciousness of their time. I bow in honor to the beautiful writing which touched me so deeply. It soothed my Soul to read how Harold's life was so much like mine, feeling insecure, having doubts....wanting to trust God, but afraid. I may not be a Master, but this book made it seem possible for me to become a Master of my life. Thank you Harold

5.0 out of 5 stars Most significant Spiritual book I've read in 2000, August 9, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Autobiography of a Modern Prophet (Paperback)

At first I approached this book with disblief. But after reading further into it I found it written with authenticity, honesty and a large dash of love. I thought it would be self glorifying and another book about a self proclaimed master. Wow! I sure got a surprise. It's the best book I have read since Autobiography of a Yogi the classic bestseller by Paramahansa Yogananda. It gives tools, tips and techniques not given elsewhere. The insights Klemp shares are incredibly helpful. I felt like the book was intensely personal and readable. It is definitely not your typical biography. It is written for people like me who are on a spiritual journey looking for the truth in a planet full of hype. At first I was not sure about his path Eckankar but he explains things so well and makes you think deeply in ways that help alot. I have no problem with with his path it appears helpful and certainly appears well grounded. I recommend this book highly to anyone with an open mind who is looking to discover more about themselves and their spiritual destiny.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow! Absolutely excellent read!, August 9, 2000

I just received this book as a gift from a friend. I really have not read much in the spiriuality genre but this book caught my attention instantly. I simply could not put it down and read it straight through upon receiving it. The depth of perspective Mr. Klemp gives on so many different aspects of one's spiritual growth is excellent. His recommendation to use the word Hu as he calls it for a spiritual exercise is unprecendented by any meditation techniques or prayers I have tryed in the past. Although my experience with other approaches is limited, I immediately connected with the love surrounding me using this technique. Suffice it to say the book touched me deeply and offers a lot of tips, insights, and techniques for the novice or experienced individual. His insights from the sharing of information about his personal experiences are priceless. I cannot recommend this book more highly to anyone with an open mind wanting to grow spiritually. Harold Klemp's book is well written and very readable. I encourage interested individuals to treat themselves to the best read they may find this year!
