5.0 out of 5 stars It's Both Practical and Spiritual, May 16, 2003

By 

Gary Lange, PhD (Rancho Mirage, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Findhorn Book of Practical Spirituality: A Down-to-Earth Guide to a Miraculous Life (The Findhorn Book Of series) (Paperback)

Kathy Gottberg's book, The Findhorn Book of Practical Spirituality gives a multitude of practical suggestions that help us develop spiritually, connected to It, God, the Universe, Mind, and Spirit. Personally, as a rosarian, I loved her practical analogies to gardening, reminding us that everything has a season, needs nourishment and we always need to ward off negative predators and weeds. As a licensed psychotherapist, I was pleased to see her simple relationship suggestions like people don't "satisfy our every need and want..." but "are walking with us as we learn who we are." At last, there is a practical book I can have in my office for patients who want to improve themselves spiritually as well as emotionally.

5.0 out of 5 stars Puts the Spirit Back in Spirituality, April 28, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: The Findhorn Book of Practical Spirituality: A Down-to-Earth Guide to a Miraculous Life (The Findhorn Book Of series) (Paperback)

Kathy Gottberg's spirited little book delivers just what it claims it will--a down-to-earth guide to a happier, more spiritual life. Readers may encounter ideas from the New Thought movement, eastern religions, and metaphysics for the first time here or find welcome reminders during a journey begun long ago. Either way, "Practical Spirituality" provides support for almost all aspects life from finances to relationships. It's a quick easy read and comes with a practical price-tag too. For less than the cost of a movie and popcorn, you can spend an enjoyable evening and enrich your life as well.

This review is from: The Findhorn Book of Practical Spirituality: A Down-to-Earth Guide to a Miraculous Life (The Findhorn Book Of series) (Paperback)

In the last few years I've been researching the topic of spirituality & what it really means to be a spiritual person. Of all the books I've read to date, this is probably the most down-to-earth & easy to read/understand.

The author provides many great examples of both spiritual and not so spiritual living - outlining what it takes to step up to the plate and live from a higher perspective.

Much of this book deals with the importance of our intentions, and the need for a more holistic way of thinking/being. The harm that the current seperatist philosophy has caused is also discussed - The idea being that we need to realize that we are all connected in some way, and what we do & say really does have an impact on the world at large.

Overall, I would highly recommend this book for anyone on a spiritual journey, as well as those who are wondering what being "spiritual" is all about.
