Review

Compassionate Living is a marvelously practical, simple, and yet challenging guide to achieving peace, love, and prosperity in life. -- Gerald R. Oncken, Ph.D.

I have found a treasure in our backyard! It's a brand new, self-published book by Houston author Jerome Stefaniak entitled, "Compassionate Living - Everyday Spirituality" and it is sure to become a self-help, spiritual hit.

This is the most personally revealing, down-to-earth, and absolute funniest journey to self-awareness and love that I have ever read. It was one book I found myself not wanting to put down.

Mr. Stefaniak is engaging as he weaves and colors his lessons with wit and wisdom. He is funny and downright unpretentious.

Throughout, the text is simple, practical, and delightfully honest. That is Mr. Stefaniak's way. His personal anecdotes are sometimes stunning in their bluntness and self-deprecating honesty. I could relate to the struggle and emotion so personally at times that I felt momentarily uncomfortable. The great part about the book is that we walk through the process with the author and come out the other end uplifted and warmly satisfied with his revelations and "miracles". -- Annah Mesko, The Indigo Sun 4/1995

I think your book is truly great! Congratulations. -- Reverend Deborah Olsen

Your book is wonderful. It is an excellent tool for helping me to learn to love myself and others. -- Carol Ann Willmoth - President of CBDI

From the Author

I spent many years (and relationships) trying to make sense of this world. It wasn't until I began to see that I was my own worst enemy, that my life began to change. This book is designed to help the reader begin to change his/her mind about themselves. The use of affirmations and probing questions challenge the reader in expanding their own self concept. If you are a student of A Course in Miracles, this book is also an excellent explanation and practical demonstration of many of the concepts in the Course.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful, practical guide to peace, love, and prosperity., August 3, 1999

This review is from: Compassionate Living: Everyday Spirituality (Paperback)

I find Compassionate Living to be a marvelously practical, simple, and yet challenging guide to achieving peace, love, and prosperity in life. I was especially impressed with the practical ideas for applying spiritual principles for our own growth and healing. Equally impressive is Mr. Stefaniak's vulnerability in illustrating his messages with many stories from his own life. This book is a gem waiting to be discovered by serious students of the wonders of life.

This review is from: Compassionate Living: Everyday Spirituality (Paperback)

Of the many wonderful books written over the last decade to help us have lives that work better, I think this book, Compassionate Living, is one of the best! Jerome Stefaniak has a style of writing which is enjoyable and easy to read. Even more importantly, he offers practical suggestions to the reader which he backs up with stories and experiences from his own life, and the lives of people around him. There is an authenticity in his writing and his love of God and the human spirit permeates every page of the book!

For anyone who is a student of A Course in Miracles, Stefaniak's book is especially engaging.

This book is a wonderful gift to yourself and to anyone you care about.

5.0 out of 5 stars Filled with treasured insights, January 9, 2002

By 

Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Compassionate Living: Everyday Spirituality (Paperback)

Now available in a new and updated second edition, Compassionate Living: Everyday Spirituality is a gentle, humorous, compelling and practical guide to living a truly spiritual life. Compassionate Living is not for ascetics who seek to isolate themselves from the world; rather it is about blending spiritualism with a normal, everyday life and the work and play that accompany each day of human routine. Filled with treasured insights, Compassionate Living is highly recommended and personally rewarding reading.
