5.0 out of 5 stars In my top 5 books of all time, August 23, 2000

This book is the most practical book for deepening spiritual awareness I've come upon. In short chapters, very powerful teachings are shared. In each chapter nsightful questions are asked for the reader to introspect and journal. Affirmations and suggestions for practicing each lesson is given. I teach at a seminary and use this book in all of my classes and workshops. I have used this book for small home study groups. Without exception, my students, counselees, and others to whom I've recommended this book have found it very powerful. Regardless of one's faith background, this book is a consciousness awakener. I have used the "collapse process" and have attended some of Dr. Demartini's workshops. I am profoundly influenced by this powerful work. If we all lived by the awarenesses and practices delineated in this book, we would be so filled with gratitude moment to moment that we would establish peace on earth.

5.0 out of 5 stars Do not miss out on the opportunity to read this book!, September 1, 1999

This review is from: Count Your Blessings: The Healing Power of Gratitude and Love (Paperback)

At a time of my life when I was feeling lost and alone, I received a copy of this book as a gift. I picked it up to glance through it, and found I could not put it down. Out from its pages jumped some of the greatest insights I have ever read in a book, about life, love and healing. This is a book that is more than worth the money you spend on it, because it will teach you about loving life, yourself and others.

This review is from: Count Your Blessings, Updated Edition: The Healing Power of Gratitude and Love (Paperback)

This is a diamond find. At the very least this book should inspire you to write a daily gratitute list ... and begin a record of how blessed your life is. There is always room for improvement, we are not perfect, but it is in being grateful that we are in a mental state to see what else is possible. I believe Nelson Mandela once said that hate has caused alot of problems and solved none of them. If hate only begats hate, only love can heal hate. Both emotions are two sides of the same coin. Start with this daily counting of blessings, and see what more you can be grateful for.
