Book Description

December 1997
For anyone who has ever wondered, “Why me, Why this, Why bother, How come . . ? ”

With Hurry Up Speed Up being the order of the day, many of us are wondering about the meaning of it all. These questions live within us as we search for ways to find peace and purpose. As part of that search, there is an increased need for relief, for refuge, for something! The “something” that can be discovered and learned within everyday life experiences.

The book, All I Ever Wanted Was A Lot of Money And A Husband Instead I Got Enlightenment, by Catherine Lenard, provides that “something.” It’s an easy, journal-like, compellingly entertaining read which chronicles the ups and downs of an all-out search for happiness through money, career and relationship—subjects most can relate to! Universal wisdom through lessons learned, and “otherworldly” experiences that occurred throughout The Search, are included in each of twenty-seven illustrated mini-chapters.

Through Lenard’s striking honesty and humor, which pokes fun at life experiences with a sincerity that earns her respect, readers can recognize, understand, and apply this wisdom for personal enlightenment regarding their own life’s events.


Editorial Reviews

Review

"A belly-laugh, yet bittersweet read; Catherine inspired me with her no-holds-barred scrutiny of the ways we all learn about being human." -- Carol Champagne, International Training Executive, California

"Catherine is one of those joyful, pure-burning candles who lights the way through honesty and sharing on a deep, personal level." -- Ahmed Fayed, Egyptologist, Cairo, EGYPT

"Lenard writes with relatable humor the stuff of genuine illumination; nascent wisdom that will have a bearing on every reader's life." -- NAPRA Review, November 1997

It’s wonderful. I’m inspired to make the life changes I need—I’m going to read it again.” -- Peggy Klute, Chamber of Commerce Director, Michigan

Through an easy evening's read, this reviewer's more objectively-minded left brain kept debating with her right-sided hemisphere which enjoyed the cheeky title and respected this woman's quest for her personal Holy Grail. While empathizing with her candid, journal-like portrayal of a search for a soulmate, meaningful career, and legal recompense for health problems, my "baloney detector" (to use the late scientist Dr. Carl Sagan's phrase) raised its hackles over her unquestioning acceptance of encounters with psychic abilities and otherworldly entities. Despite sincerity and humor in conveying her unique road to enlightenment, the book may well be read by cynics as an extended advertisement for the "evolvement" courses Lenard lists in the appendix. More generous-minded, fellow seekers will acknowledge the mysterious nature of such paths, relish the chapter-opening words of wisdom, enjoy her foibles and self-deprecating sense of humor, and perhaps find hope that personal/spiritual growth is possible in our secular, frenetic times. The book may be imagined as an inspirational speech, with a slide shown of the book's best illustration: [Self to higher self] "Give it a rest you old Battle Axe. Just give me what I want! [Higher self's reply] Come...there is much to show you!" -- From Independent Publisher

“Awesome!! I loved it. I am hoping we will all be blessed with another wonderful book written by Catherine.” -- Deb Frese; Appraiser, IOWA

5.0 out of 5 stars very enlightening, April 20, 2009
This review is from: All I Ever Wanted Was a Lot of Money and a Husband: Instead I Got Enlightenment (Paperback)
I read this book because I noticed that it had been written by an old high school friend and I just had to read it.
I found it to be very well written and inspiring.
I also, have had the chance to reconnect to the author and I have enjoyed doing so.
Catherine has always been a beautiful person inside and out and she has obviously been through some tough times, but she shows her strength and determination and anyone that reads this book is sure to have a different perspective on their life after reading it.
She perseveres through all with grace, even though at first she might not have had her priorities in the right place.
