5.0 out of 5 stars The means to achieve liberation and fulfillment!, September 10, 2001

By

This review is from: Capture the Rapture (Paperback)

Author, speaker and Master Certified Coach Marcia Reynolds asked herself the question, "How much of my life was I living on automatic pilot?". That's a door-opening question we must all ask ourselves, and the answer is found in her new, award-winning self-help book, Capture the Rapture. Indeed, if you are not leading a passionate, joyful life, this book is a must-read!
The beginning of Capture the Rapture asks the reader to self-examine life. Are we doing things i.e. keeping busy but not feeling satisfied---living in a horizontal world, moving from one activity to another? Or is our world vertical---using our senses to appreciate all that is around us---the sights and smells and touch of mountains and rivers; roses and lilacs; the softness of a partner. Marcia, using her own personal experiences (she lifted herself out of a world of drugs, jail and a total lack of self-esteem) and her education and experience (two masters degrees and two decades of successful corporate work) guides the reader to self-discovery, empowerment and thus joy and happiness. Her first step is visioning---a three-dimensional picture of our desires---a virtual reality- program of our own design!
The second step is covisioning---to include other people around you, bringing visioning to fruition, and then "...the commitment to your vision and a disciplined approach to its attainment." Step by step, page by page, Capture the Rapture leads the reader out of the past and even out of the present---to envision a future of fulfillment. Thus Marcia Reynolds has given us much more than a self-help book. She has given us the means to liberation.
In this reviewer's opinion, Capture the Rapture is a well-written, heart-felt path to passion and purpose!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fast-Forward Into The Exhilarating!, February 18, 2002

This review is from: Capture the Rapture (Paperback)

A magnificent collection of tools to lift us up, and keep us "tuned-up" and "tuned-in" on the rewards life has to offer. Ms. Reynolds opens up a complete treasure chest of practical, easy-to-understand exercises that can be put to immediate use. Take it from one who needs levity training. This is one book I plan to share with my audiences and clients. A recommended read for all who want to transcend life's mundane side-lines and fast-forward into an exhilarating expedition.
