Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Central to Kingma's (Heart & Soul, Conari, 1995) approach to finding a partner is the belief that inner limitations more than external circumstances stand in the way of developing lasting love. Accordingly, adventures into the world of singles bars and personal ads are successful only if they follow a thorough internal and spiritual awakening. This title offers the four keys to developing the spiritual attitude and readiness necessary for a lasting love: faith, intention, trust, and surrender. To her detriment, Kingma often slips into a cliched, self-help, fortune-cookie language, yet she does offer clear advice on honing some of the skills needed for personal analysis and growth. Overall, this title offers a wise approach to a well-explored topic. Recommended for pop psychology and self-improvement collections in public libraries.

5.0 out of 5 stars For every lover who wants to fall (and stay) in love again, August 7, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Finding True Love: The Four Essential Keys to Discovering the Love of Your Life (Hardcover)

If, after all those broken romances, heartbreaking let-downs that you know will never get over,those ugly, upsetting break-ups - if, after all that, you are still a sucker for love than this is the book for you. And, after reading it, you know you will succeed, you will find your very own special person and it will be wonderful. Ms Kingma lets you now it is not all that easy, that you have got to work on the past, on your present feelings, expectations and deepest hopes. She does not make any promises that it will happen immediately after finishing this book. Instead she instills in you a deep confidence in your life purpose, your capacity to and for love and most importantly, she opens your eyes to love. I enjoy reading this book, time and again, whilst I prepare myself for the LOVE OF MY LIFE. Thankyou, Ms Kingma !

5.0 out of 5 stars Love is not control&acquistion-It's being open&letting go, November 1, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Finding True Love: The Four Essential Keys to Discovering the Love of Your Life (Hardcover)

To find true love you have to be open to it and you will have to let go of some things you have now. You have to be prepared to live as if it will never happen but know that it may happen any moment. Love doesn't have an agenda or a timetable. It's a discovery, it grows, It's life.
