This is not like any other raw food cookbook you've ever seen. In facts, it's not like any other cookbook, period. It's more of an experience. As anyone who has tried it knows, going 'raw' is transformative on many levels - even if you're just doing it for a month or two. Here's someone who has made the commitment for many years! The book is actually fun. Her style is very easy and casual, as if you were in the kitchen with her. You'll learn plenty about making the transition, but I think mostly what you'll come away with is why go raw to begin with .. because you'll find out what an incredible being you really are.

I used to be a hardcore meat eater and enjoy foods that are not good for us. I never thought that anyone or anything cold ever change my mind about how I ate, but after reading just the beginning pages of the book I had a change of mind, diet, and heart. Sun-Rose really helps you examine your life and eating habits in a very loving way. The recipies are so easy and delicious. The book has helped me change other people's lives around me. The book helps you have a joyful and very peaceful change.

A wonderful book that provides easy to use suggestions for "uncooking." A feast of Love! Though not new to these ideas, I can certainly use all the simplicity of preparation offered in the book. Sun-Rose does seem to live what she teaches and that's refreshing. If she can do it so can I!

Unlike anything else you can find among raw food literature the book "A Radiant Life" offers completely independent viewpoint and author's insight into our everyday life. It is a deeply sincere, personal journey to discovery of raw food life style and philosophy behind it. This journey was inspired by the courage needed to live one's life and to choose one's actions based on love. What would a diet reflecting love be like?
Also, you will find plenty of simple delicious recipes requiring no fancy equipment or ingredients. Beginners will find a compassionate inspiration, while those with experience on raw food diet will have another opportunity to compare the journey of the author to their own and to touch on the ultimate values and the purpose of our lives.

Great for those just starting to explore raw foods and well as veterans (such as myself). Sun-Rose has a very matter-of-fact, yet loving, approachable way of relating her experience. Not a book to read for the recipes, but rather for the amazing moments of pure truth that leap off the page and smack of "divine inspiration". Very Lovely. Very Moving.

I've just started a blog, and there are some pictures up already, and some recipes. The point of the blog is to develop an anti-inflammatory diet. It came about in a conversation with someone who read A Radiant Life.

My daughter's second diagnosis as a child (not what is spoken of in A Radiant Life) is autism, from which she got well and then went back into as an adult from a pesticide exposure and trauma. Inflammation is believed to be a big part in autism, hence the idea of this diet. The colors are so amazing, and I'm having a lot of fun with this. It's like painting with food! And Sarah's loving the meals (as usual!).

So if You're interested, please have a look, and I'm open to suggestions too!

I always think of inflammation as fear, so maybe this will be an anti-fear diet! I think fear is so often the basis of illness.

For me, listening to Guidance and changing my diet changed my life, and it continues to do so. And I feel so wonderful that I love sharing about both!

Love,
Sun~Rose

In need of a graphic designer, and an editor, otherwise a very pleasant read. Feels like sitting with a dear friend. Thanks for sharing your stories, Sun-Rose! Raw Food and the Presence of Love, indeed!
