Review

From Australia comes a major new writer - a magnificent book! -- Richard Bach, Author, Jonathan Livingston Seagull

Michael Roads has spent his life as an apprentice of naturea farmer and dweller of the wilds, having learned such things as how to call his cows telepathically. One day he dives into icy cold water to capture a rock that attracts him - a power rock, a guidestone. Not long after, he enters the rock involuntarily through teleporting and is initiated into a series of deep and powerful encounters with the elements and spirits of nature. This book is the recounting of an inspired and diligent student of Nature. I recommend it to anyone drawn there. -- The Psychic Reader, June 1990

Reads like a synthesis of Walden and The Secret Life of Plants. -- East West Journal

This book would be of interest to those who love nature especially, the aspect of nature which is magical, inspiring and filled with grace. It demands all levels of involvement by the reader - you become the journey. It is both profound and simply written. This book is a great, exciting story. It has a multi-dimensional aspect which allows the reader to glean truth which is personal and timely for their own relationship within nature. Highly recommended. -- Dimensions, April 1990

This is one of the most captivating and worthwhile books that I have ever read. Michael Roads is an author who is truly a talented writer. With his dramatic gift of words and smoothly flowing sentences, he paints a portrait of exceptional beauty and merit with this very personal story of his journey into self realization. Apparently, this is a sequel to his previous book called Talking to Nature, but it isnt necessary for you to have read this in order to follow and understand his Journey Into Nature.

Ecologists and environmentalists will read this book and weep from understanding at the profound wisdom of this story. Students of the Dolphins will connect emotionally with the feelings of their spirits.Connection with your Higher Self and re-incarnation will have a different concept to the reader who meditates, or experiences past life regressions. Open Michael Roads book and travel with him on his journey to Spiritual Oneness. Ill guarantee that by the time that you finish it, your life will have been touched in an unforgettable way. If you only read one book this year, make that book Journey Into Nature. -- Friend's Review, March 1990

4.0 out of 5 stars Nature from the inside, August 11, 2000

This review is from: Journey Into Nature: A Spiritual Adventure (Paperback)

This book is another installment in the journey of a contemporary mystic, Michael Roads. In this fascinating account, he describes how he came to be a "participant in Nature". He meets the god Pan, who acts as his guide. Under Pan's tutelage, Roads merges his consciousness successively with water, minerals, plants, animals, and weather. The result is what seems like a description of Nature from the inside. The cynic will find not one thing believable in this entire book, but for those who can read it with an open mind, the book offers profound insights into Nature. I highly recommend this book to anyone whose primary experience of the Sacred is through Nature.
