Uncanny In Its Simplicity, July 9, 2007
This review is from: Row, Row, Row Your Boat: A Guide for Living Life in the Divine Flow (Hardcover)
I put this book on my very short list of favorite spiritual books that I feel are the cream of the crop. I hold this book in such high esteem because it is simple and direct, easy to apply, but most importantly the content is significant. What the Author is trying to show you is how to have living faith. Living faith separates the believers from the feelers. You can believe in something with all the strength of your mind, but it will never become real to you until you feel it. I have had a very hard time in my life following my heart, or should I say, feeling the spirit within me.
We can feel the spirit as something real, guiding us in everything we do in life, answering our prayers, and providing peace and comfort. What I am striving to do is feel my living spirit inside me. I need proof. I have never been able to find it in the expectations of my plans. Instead I find it within the ways life shows me all the times I have repeatedly refused to let go.
There is a quote from the Urantia Book that describes what is being done with Steven Lane Taylor's book. "Blind and unforeseen accidents do not occur in the cosmos. Neither do the celestial beings assist the lower being who refuses to act upon his light of truth". Row Row Row Your Boat will help you see that you are being assisted so that you can take action to add fulfillment to your life. I want to also add that I think that the simplicity of the presentation along with the quality of the content of this book is nothing short of sublime.

Powerful Book!, April 10, 2004
This review is from: Row, Row, Row Your Boat: A Guide for Living Life in the Divine Flow (Hardcover)
This book was about the 3rd huge knock in the head God had sent me to give up trying to control everything in my life and everyone else's life so I bought the book and read it. It's a quick read but very deep and very moving. I am so glad I read this book. I think that this book could help many of us look at how we live our lives and bring more trust in God/Higher Power, ourselves and in others. And it will make you think about everyone you encounter and all the things that happen to you. It has started me on (I hope) a more peaceful journey though my life. What a wonderful way to think of a classic song "Row, row, row, your boat, gently down the stream, merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, life is but a dream."

Simple, yet profound, August 21, 2007
This review is from: Row, Row, Row Your Boat: A Guide for Living Life in the Divine Flow (Hardcover)
Life doesn't have to be so complicated and success--however we define it--is closer than we think. Steven Lane Taylor reminds us what we know deep down to be true and shows us how to live it every day. I especially appreciate his messages about paying attention to what's going on around us and within us, letting go of the illusion of control and trusting that the universe will provide for our highest good. This is a book I will read again and again, and share it with my children.
