The Sacred Art of Soul Making is well worth your time and effort. It is clear and easy to read. It will enlighten you as to the different levels of energy, and inform you as to how they apply to you and everyday life. There are valuable practices to keep your awareness focused and clear. I have suggested several dear friends purchase this material. Josheph Naft has done an excellent job of communicating. He has another book called "Agents of Peace" which is a novel. I would suggest purchasing the noval after reading The Art of Soul Making. In this novel, the characters apply some of the paractices mentioned in The Sacred Art of Soul Making. A MUST READ.

In a world rampant with small self-importance, precipitated by epidemic narcissism, "The Sacred Art of Soul Making" is a timely intervention. Joseph Naft has written an exceptional, educational read. Culled from his experience with daily spiritual practice, from both the traditional and the esoteric, he has developed a plan for the recovery, maintenance and expression of True Self.

"The Sacred Art of Soul Making" delivers practical, insightful information, pertinent to the continued development of our potential as human beings. This is more than just an inspirational read, it offers step by step methods for the turning of ordinary living, into the extraordinary life. Finally, the alchemy for living deliberately is demystified. What awaits the reader is a message imbued with clarity and a well defined plan, for becoming that which makes the difference.

This is the book, that cracks the code on how to engage deeply, honestly and proficiently with the task of becoming.

If you have read a lot of spiritual books and have felt disappointed - maybe as if something had been left out - try The Sacred Art of Soul Making. Subtitled "Balance and Depth in the Spiritual Practice", this book is the perfect companion for seekers interested in spiritual practice based on timeless wisdom, and incorporating the key elements of mind, body, and spirit. Appropriate for both those just beginning the journey and those with years of study and practice, The Sacred Art of Soul Making provides both the necessary foundation for a strong, multi-faceted spiritual practice and suggestions for accessing increasingly finer and more subtle awareness. The book provides clear instructions and exercises for the seeker to explore, without demanding any particular belief or promoting any self-serving point of view. Topics include energy, the mind, body and heart, and awareness of and union with the ineffable I AM. Joseph Naft's breadth and depth of study and practice are evident in the incorporation of aspects of many spiritual teachings, and in the genuine good-heartedness evident in his writing. Naft offers wisdom with no catches or hidden agendas; and neither oversimplifies nor over-complicates the spiritual journey. His book provides a firm anchor for the serious seeker, always offering the opportunity for new insight while never pointing to a false path.

If you ever have extra time and nothing to do, reading this book would be a great persuit because it is one of those things that, even if you only glean one phrase from it, it can only do you good. Or even if you take away nothing at all, just reading the book is extremely calming in itself, a good escape if you are stressed or tired or sad
Most importantly, unlike other books in its genre, it's genuine. Big abstract ideas are understood by using everyday impressions that everyone knows, so that when you read it you automatically relate things that have happened in your life to what it says, without having to try. Best of all, you don't have to be "into spiritualtiy" or "new-age" to understand it; in fact, it's probably better it you're not because it's not geared to a"type" of person based on age, profession, beliefs, preferences, or previous knowledge.
It doesn't really use frilly and mystical words, so any two people who read this book will find common ground in it. I highly recommend it for its amazing quality of being utterly benign.

My sister asked me to buy this for her so I did. It came quickly and was packaged neatly with the rest of the books I had ordered. I don't know much about the contents of the book but my sister, who can't stand to read, loved it and found it very interesting. She seems much more at peace with herself after reading it too!

I think that this book is a "must read" for anyone seriously interested in the subject. It lays a foundation for our spiritual path, and may serve as a guide in search for our "true" self. In every paragraph author is reminding us to be present, to be aware. It is also very sincere, you can feel that author comes from his direct experience and deep understanding..
