Editorial Reviews

Review

Richard Young's Paths Of A Prodigal explores the deeper reaches of spiritual living. The prodigal spirit's joyful and poignant return to its true home is a major theme of religious traditions (particularly Christianity and Buddhism). Young's great storytelling talent and remarkable lucidity draw the reader to the core message -- the deep soul never gets irreparably caught in a web of "ego-projects". Heart-melting and hilarious stories from Young's own life combine with traditional tales and creative self-healing exercises, making Paths Of A Prodigal a delightful companion for fellow travelers of the religious road. -- Midwest Book Review

This review is from: Paths of a Prodigal: Exploring the Deeper Regions of Spiritual Living (Paperback)

This is a book that I will continue to refer to throughout my life. As I read through it the first time, I was able to apply its stories, lessons and explanations to myself and my approach to living. It helped me to sort through some of the negativity that was impacting my life and brought me to understand how I should approach a more spiritual and positive outlook. I have recommended this book to several close friends. I am grateful to Dr. Young for his easy-going style and the many personal stories that he included. I felt as if he were speaking directly to me.
