This book is wonderfully insightful for any serious seekers. I had reservations about reading a channeled book, but every reservation I had disappeared immediately. Bartholomew teachs about love & relationships, The Self and the Path of Enlightment. It will wake you up and open your eyes to the awareness of how vast you truly are. Your spirit will soar.

This book has IT. Bartholomew doesn't want to show you how to rearrange your mental furniture but to show you that you misidentify yourself with that furniture.

A couple of quotes:

"Every moment of the day, for as much as you can, remember who you are."

"You need to quiet your mind. And that is all you need to do! The best way to quiet the mind is to be in the moment. Your mind cannot be agitated if you are present in the moment. If you are alive to this moment, alive to everything going on in it, you can't be ruminating over the past. "

This book fits well with the teaching of Maharshi, Nisargadatta, Robert Adams, Advaita Vedanta, etc.

One day, I woke up from a dream only remembering the name "Bartholomew", that didn't mean anything to me. Later I was reading in another book and as I reached a chapter, the author mentioned/referred us to read the book "I come as a brother" by Bartholomew, it is at that moment that the dream and the name I remember made sense to me.

This book is so inspirational. Bartholomew, came just when I needed, to talk to me about the things I was passing through, emphasizing the power of unconditional love and the illusion of separation.

He goes on explaining what love is not, how we perceive life, how we keep on blocking ourselves either consciously or subconsciously.

A chapter was dedicated to the story of St. Francis, to inspire us to look no more outside rather than inside, for the divine has already been expressed by what we call "me" or "myself".

I recommend this book to anyone who is looking to enhance the quality of his life, relationships with others, or get in touch with the deep wisdom of Bartholomew.

What strikes me about Bartholomew is the simplicity with which he patiently and with great compassion explodes our myths about the nature of reality.

If you have read Jane Roberts' Seth books but still need a little help in grasping some of the material - I can recommend Bartholomew in this and any of his other books. However, these books stand in their own right as signposts on the spiritual road each of us has to take, sooner or later.

There is so much excellent information out there for those seeking enlightenment and freedom. This is one of the best I've read... and if you knew how many I've read, you'd be impressed.

This book is readily enjoyable by most anyone, but has the depth to appeal to the most advanced reader. I give it my highest recomendation. --FCB

I remember this book well. I was always so afraid of things. (Afraid to drive too far, afraid to make a mistake, why? There is no answer.) Bartholomew convinced me that "there is nothing, nothing, to be afraid of." It was worth reading for me just for this. His voice is the gentlest I've come across.

This great book is now out in audio form. Check the authors' (Mary Margaret Moore) web page. Enjoy!

Like his other books, this one is full of love, simple practices and advice, and a spirit that permeates your being.

For anyone seeking answers about life, God and the spiritual world ~ this book is a great place to start finding. The messages shared contain wisdom with humor that seriously lightens a load in our chaotic (sometimes frightening) physical world. I've read and referred back to its' messages for 20 years. Truly a gift from Heaven and Jesus approved ~ life changing messages for understanding and joy.

"I Come As A Brother" is for anyone asking the big questions in life. The answers you find will be unique to you, though generally they will grant you a different level of happiness that you may not have known. But it's not a quick fix, it's not something handed to you for having read 176 pages of text - rather, you will question some of the tenets of your current way of living and in doing so either recommit to them or find new, more powerful pillars on which to stand firm. You will love deeper and more. This is difficult work.

The easy thing to do is to put the book down and keep living your comfortable, safe life. But for those that are willing to look deep within themselves and within mankind, I can tell you that the rewards for taking the risk are worth it - and you will want to pay it forward too. . .
