5.0 out of 5 stars This is the most influencial book I have ever read June 28, 1998

By A Customer

Format:Paperback

How can I describe the effect that reading this book has had on me?

Imagine dropping a pebble into a still pond sending ripples out into eternity. Then imagine the moon being dropped it! It has rocked my world to its foundations.

Reading it ignited a major spiritual awakening and shift in my world view. The language is simple, beautiful and clear, and the insights tore through my heart and soul like thunder. It is so beautifully and lovingly written that the words took my breath away. I felt as though Emmanuel was speaking directly to my heart... the words penetrated to the deepest parts of me, resonating and echoing. I can't count the number of times I was brought to tears or catapulted into bliss while reading it. The blinders were suddenly whipped away and light flooded in. The universe suddenly became much brighter, safer, and loving... so much more loving.

Emmanuel's Book also opened me up to investigating other channeled writing. The deepest, wisest, and highest quality material I have ever encountered was channeled. Another equally impactful (though they affected me in a different way from how Emmanuel did) series of books are written by Sanaya Roman. Another excellent series is "Conversations with God" (Books I and II) by Neale Donald Walsch- these cover similar ground to Emmanuel. I feel that CWG and Emmanual's books complement each other wonderfully.

Emmanuel's Book is one of my most treasured books and will always hold a very special place in my heart. It is one of my most often recommended books (others being "Living With Joy" by Sanaya Roman and "Conversations with God") to my friends and I will now unreservedly recommend it to you. May it bring you as much joy as it brought me...

5.0 out of 5 stars A exquisite reminder of the unique beauty within us. January 21, 1999

By A Customer

Format:Paperback

Emmanuel's Book is one of extraordinary insight, love and gentleness. Emmanuel's message is so simple, empowering, beautiful, loving, funny, and so totally forgiving that I can consciously feel the grace of this most beautiful light... You must be prepared to believe in your own profound goodness to read this book. Time and time again I have come to tears of joy whilst reading it..

With every topic covered, from our original 'fall from grace' or forgetting of our own divinity, to complete awakening or 'dying' and returning to that grace, this book will prompt you to remember that we live in a meaningful, forgiving, and loving universe.

Emmanuel's words have long served as a faithful reminder of my inner potential and innate goodness, such as no friend, family, or lover ever has in my life. With all my heart I recommend Emmanuel's Book to souls seeking the highest and most loving Angelic wisdom.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the top 10 books of Spiritual Wisdom I have found July 16, 2000

By F. Daniel Endy

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

After a long search for true wisdom, this book was the pure gold at the end of the rainbow. If you were to read only one such book this should be it.

Emmanuel's books are some of the best books I have found. They contain real, deep spiritual truths. They present a vision of humanity and God which is totally compassionate and loving. The question is not whether these books are true. The question is whether you are ready for this truth? Many similar books are hard to digest, but this series is not. Emmanuel means "God with us," and God is truly in this series. I strongly recommend this series if you are a seeker of Truth like me.

God bless.
