In Close Your Eyes So You Can See Me, Most Reverend John B. Reid, a bishop in the Western Rite Syriac Orthodox Church of Antioch, points Christians towards a new spiritual growth through self-discovery. Spiritual growth, he says, comes from bringing more good into our daily lives by sweeping out old, shame-based belief systems. The author does not believe that God created men and women so that they could suffer. He advises Christians to love all people, and invites readers to make changes that will bring more joy, love, and peace to their lives.

A strong choice for any Christian leader,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Close Your Eyes So You Can See Me (Paperback)
Dirty thoughts, dirty bodies; is Christianity a religion based on shame? "Close Your Eyes So You Can See Me" presents Most Reverend John B. Reid's belief that Christianity should not put so much emphasis on shame. Promoting love of all people, even non-Christians, Reid has a highly positive message that more people, Christian or not, could enrich their lives by reading. "Close Your Eyes So You Can See Me" is a strong choice for any Christian leader.

What a message!,
By Carole (Granbury, TX) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Close Your Eyes So You Can See Me (Paperback)
On first reading I thought this book must have been written for me! No kidding. It reaches to the heart; God's love is for everyone. Anyone who reads it will be able to apply the message personally. As Bishop Reid says "God, I'll peddle, you steer"; a simple yet powerful message.
I'm on my second reading and plan on giving this book as gifts to people I love.

Incredibly insightful, yet concise,
By
This review is from: Close Your Eyes So You Can See Me (Paperback)
This book effectively combines proven self-help ideas with essential biblical guidance in a very practical, straight-forward manner. One's very spiritual identity and development is both challenged and encouraged in the easy to read passages of the book. An amazingly succinct, but powerful message for effective everyday living is provided in an easy to comprehend fashion. The candor and humility of the author is refreshing. Thanks for the uplifting and redirecting message.
