5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent! Superb, inspired., November 19, 1998

This review is from: The Love You Deserve: 10 Keys to Perfect Love (Paperback)

Mr. Peck is chronicling a deeply private personal journey that required humility, generosity and grace. He is showing how the willingness to change brings greater good and that it is the quality of our thinking and choices that determines the outcome. With divine Love as the appropriate yardstick, he shows us the full breadth of OUR divine heritage, which includes PERFECT Love, complete Love, not a part of Love. His approach is introspective and metaphysical.

This approach will therefore be at odds with conventional medical/psychological reasoning. The difference between New Age concepts of metaphysics and Scott's is that his is based in his understanding of God as our Cause and Source vs. a more impersonal universal sense of Truth.

I recommend this book to everyone with eyes to see and ears to hear. It will feed the hungry heart. And teach the reader the truth of their 'conscious worth'.

Continued success.

2.0 out of 5 stars The love you deserve: A spiritual guide to genuine love, February 8, 2007

(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: The Love You Deserve: A Spiritual Guide to Genuine Love (Paperback)

I bought this book because it was packaged with a book by M. Scott Peck,
"The road less travelled". This book SHOULD NOT be package with any of M.Scott Peck's work, since it leads one to believe that the above book was co-authored by him. "The love you deserve..." is a light weight bit of fluff that is not anywhere near the caliber of the work of M.Scott Peck,and the advice in this book is simply not practical.
