By	Gabriel Russell (Palm Springs, CA) - See all my reviews

For a person beginning any path of spiritually and for people that are more advanced, following any path, David Spero's book guides one deeply into the Divine within oneself. Written with exquisiteness from His Divine Love, Intelligence, and Knowledge, its simplicity and genuineness makes it easy to follow; and the sweetness of His Transmission can be felt long after the book is finished.

5.0 out of 5 stars A tool of self exploration and answers, December 18, 2004

By	DianeTherese (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews

If you are inwardly drawn to this book, I suggest you get a copy. Read it as an exploration into your Self. While you are reading it, be sensitive to your surroundings. See what happens within yourself as you absorb David's words. It was after I met David, sitting in several of his spiritual gatherings, that I discovered his book. I had experienced his spiritual transmission at several public programs. At that time, I had been searching for Something. I was aware of spiritual organizations and teachers, but I was turned off by their doctrines. "Joining" anything was repugnent to me. To me, restrictions were totally unbearable. As I was reading David's book, I had a very amazing experience. I read what I, in my being, already knew to be True, the Something I had been searching for was awakened. I also read with interest about David's life.The reading opened up issues that I needed to explore in more depth, in the depth of my Being, by meditating alone and being more in David's presence. Sometimes fear would overcome me (as I read), for what David was sharing (in his book) took me to places that were hidden for a long time. As my spiritual awareness has grown (over the years), so has my ability to understand David's words. From sitting in his company and reading his book an incredible spiritual realtiy has dawned. For some, this book will be an account of one man's spiritual journey. For others, it will convey the Truth they've been searching endlesslly for. Either way, everyone who reads it will receive a special Gift, one meant to be enjoyed at the deepest level of Being.

5.0 out of 5 stars For the true seeker, October 23, 2004

By	A. Douglas "Written Pleasures" (New York) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I'm extremely grateful to have found this book. I've read many excellent books on spirituality and the spirit, but for me, this one is as much a meditation as a read. While sharing his personal journey, David Spero illuminates the reader's path, taking you within yourself to your own divine center. It's really quite an exceptional work. I recommend it most highly and look forward to more.
