This review is from: The Formula: Who Gets Sick, Who Gets Well, Who Is Happy, Who Is Unhappy, and Why (Hardcover)

Dr. Sylvest has captured the essence of healing in this timeless book. He speaks not only from the authority of a man of letters but from the heart of one who is humble to his Soul. He clearly shows you how the more down and out you have been, the more up and in you can finally rise. Read this book and be inspired as you use it on your journey.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential reading for anyone exploring their spirituality, May 6, 1998

By 

[e-mail] (Richmond, VA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Formula: Who Gets Sick, Who Gets Well, Who Is Happy, Who Is Unhappy, and Why (Hardcover)

The Formula was an intriguing and thought-provoking book that captured the essence of "A Course in Miracles" (ACIM) . The Formula explains in detail some of the basic concepts of ACIM that we can start applying to our life now to achieve peace and love. Dr. Sylvest descibes a process he developed for undoing guilt, anger, and fear that will allow us finally to heal old wounds, achieve forgiveness of ourselves and others, and break the cycle of repeatedly accumulating guilt and fear. In his book, Dr. Sylvest describes the many people who have returned themselves to health (including himself) regardless of their illness by using the Formula. (I won't tell you what the formula is, you have to buy the book!) The Formula was hard to put down and several times while reading this book it seemed that certain passages were directed specifically to myself about things that had happened that day or to questions that were in my mind which were subsequently answered in the text. The Formula is the kind of book I will keep handy and keep coming back to. I look forward to more books by Dr. Sylvest.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent guide to healing physical and emotional illness, November 30, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: The Formula: Who Gets Sick, Who Gets Well, Who Is Happy, Who Is Unhappy, and Why (Hardcover)

Dr. Sylvest shares his personal journey from the point of no belief in a higher source, crippling arthritis, and divorce, to the experience of a healing other doctors told him was not possible, and learning the joy and peace that comes with forgiveness. In The Formula, he tells us how we, too, may achieve such results. As a medical doctor, he is well-informed of the scientific aspects of disease, but as a deeply spiritual person he has come to know the far greater healing power of Love. Well worth sharing Dr. Sylvest's story and teachings as he has has told them in The Formula.
