5.0 out of 5 stars
Never done this before..., May 12, 2007
This review is from: 40 Day Mind Fast Soul Feast (Hardcover)
I have never submitted a review on Amazon before so I'm a little nervous, even though I am a librarian and used to write reviews "for a living." Here goes...
I'm on day 38 of the 40 daily readings, and I can tell you two things for sure. First, it takes about two minutes to read each daily segment and I re-read each piece many times throughout the day to fully understand what the passage is saying. Sometimes I felt like I was reading Greek with the first reading, but when I went back several hours later and read it again it all made perfect sense.
Second, I am not the same person I was when I started this book. I feel a satisfaction and peace now that I was always looking for before but could never quite find or hold on to. Where there was unrest and feelings of angst before, I now have feelings of love, joy, and contentment. I feel more capable, more in control of my life and my feelings/emotions, and a general sense of wonder about my life that I haven't felt since I was a child.
This book is not for those who are still emotionally tied to traditional church dogma. An openness to new ways of thinking about God, Christ, and spirituality in general is required. The more you ponder the ideas presented in this book, the more you will get out of it. It is quite small, and easily fits in a small purse or even a back pocket. Mine goes with me everywhere, because of the enjoyment I receive from reading each day's passage repeatedly throughout my day.
I hope this helps.
Thank you,
Christine

new perceptions, January 21, 2007
This review is from: 40 Day Mind Fast Soul Feast (Hardcover)
I found Dr. Michael Beckwith's book extremely helpful in altering my perceptions and expanding my understanding of "Spiritual". His insights and his ability to communicate them are a rare find and they uplift my spirit and deepen my connection with God (Spirit, Universe, Higher Self, Cosmic Consciousness, Ultimate Reality, The Buddha Mind, The Mind of Christ, pick which identity works best for you, they are all one and the same to me.)
If you are looking for hellfire and brimstone you will NOT find it here. In this book are positive, life affirming words that encourage one to grow, to reach for a higher belief and understanding of the ONE POWER
and that we are all one energy, divine. He explains how positively use this power to manifest the good we desire, the light and love, peace and wonder of our exsistence. I can only speak for myself, and I want much more of the beneficial, upbeat blessings in my life.
Beckwith is a scholar and a visionary, his words can assist you in changing your life. Give it a try. What have you got to lose?
