I think this book does a beautiful job of highlighting ways that we can tap into our spiritual lives to enable "limitless living". The stories from the author's own life are amazing, inspirational, and sometimes mind-blowing. You will enjoy the exercises that he provides, from meditations to instructions on tai chi. I highly recommend this book!

I thoroughly enjoyed Limitless Living - reading about other peoples spiritual experiences is very uplifting. Most importantly, Dr. Kinsers
ability to follow spirit instead of being bound by cultural and religious
influence. The exercises are written simply which is a great help for anyone who wants help on their own spiritual journey. I earmarked alot of pages which, for me, is indicative of how I feel about a book. I would highly recommend Limitless Living for the spiritually minded.

In Limitless Living, Dr. Kinser shares details of his fascinating spiritual exploration that began as a young boy writing in his journal and continues today in conversations with his guardian angel. Coming from an Episcopal priest, this nondenominational and multi-faithed book is a delightful surprise. Dr. Kinser is not your ordinary garden-variety priest, teacher, writer; but rather, he is extraordinary. He courageously shares his personal spiritual path as well as his thoughts on reincarnation, near-death expearience, guardian angels, and other unexplainable and controversial issues. If you have an open mind, you will love this book.

This is a great book for anyone wanting to expand on their on spirituality. Personally I am a Christian(Baptist to be exact) and this book reinforces what I already believes and challenges me to go the distance.It is a book for ALL faiths and denominations and challenges the reader to go outside the box or outside of the comfort zone of your own religion to worship or pray. All 3 major religions and a few minors are referenced equally. The only reason I have given it only 4 stars is because I am not all the way through it yet.Will be a great reference book.

From the moment I first leafed through Limitless Living, I knew that it would be thought-provoking and enlightening. This is a book about "encounters with the Mystery;" a travelogue through spiritual mysticism and the many ways in which humans can experience the sacred and the divine. The author, Reverend Prentice Kinser III, writes from the heart. He fills this book with stories, mostly from his own life, recording instances in which he has felt the presence of God, received "unconventional guidance," and glimpsed past lives.

Limitless Living is a beginner's guide to knowing oneself as a spiritual being having a human experience. Kinser, provides exercises in which readers can identify their own encounters with "intuitive knowing" and trust that this guidance is not just wishful thinking. The author teaches strategies for accessing spiritual guidance and communication. He gives methods to "test the spirits" so that readers can determine whether the communication and revelations they receive are "of God" and true.

Kinser suggests several practices for finding one's own spiritual pathway: journaling, meditation, prayer, and Tai-Chi---methods that can lead us to Love and Light, to an expanded knowledge of the true self, to an experience of God, and to a deepening and reaffirming of life purpose and direction. He speaks of guardian angels and departed souls, mantras, chakras, mindfulness, mind-body healing, energy cleansing and near-death experiences. He tells of conversations with ascended masters and of past life recall. With respect to Native American traditions of shamanism, he relates his own vision quest, and the discovery of his power animal.

Kinser teaches from his own explorations as well as his extensive readings and studies in various spiritual disciplines. He impresses me as a sincere and learned individual. While he speaks of his own devotion to the teachings of Christ, he tells his readers that the material in the book is for people of all faiths, and even for seekers and skeptics. Each person can use the material in his or her own way.

I've read numerous books on channeling, psychic phenomena, past life regression, and angel communication. Sometimes these books have left me with the impression that such gifts belong only to the chosen few, or that these methods are a haphazard assemblage of self-help tools, with no core component, no relation to spirituality. It's refreshing to read a book that gets it right, and Limitless Living does. This is one of the few books that approach non-worldly subjects from a mainstream, Christian perspective blended with intellectual curiosity. This is one that a) offers readers simple tools to "test" the safety of efficacy of such experiences and b) cautions readers to approach such activities with spiritual shielding, and if one has a foundation of religious understanding, from that standpoint.

On a personal note, the beautifully-written book helped to validate a few unusual experiences in my own life--what I believe were spiritual events and encounters. This book directs attention to the holy dimensions of events we often dismiss as mere coincidence, hallucination, or fluke. Limitless Living reminds us that there are many pathways to knowing the essence of life, the soul, and the infinite.

I highly recommend this book for anyone who would like to enhance his or her personal and spiritual development.

Dr. Kinser gives many examples from his own life and from those of others he has known, of how this can be achieved. He teaches a wide variety of methods (all of which he is personally familiar with) to assist the reader in their personal/spiritual quest, including T'ai Chi, relaxation techniques, journal writing, dream analysis, and Native American spirituality.

Quite frankly, it's the best book on the subject that I have read in the more than 30 years that I have practiced internal medicine and acupuncture. Anyone with an open mind and honest heart will benefit from reading this book.

"Rev. Kinser has created a remarkable and important book which I would highly recommend to everyone. Science has now documented the mind/body connection and its importance to our health. In addition, research has begun to show that connecting with the religious and spiritual dimension of our lives provides powerful tools for prevention and reversal of disease, as well as achievement of optimal wellness."
