Phenomenal book,
This review is from: The Sacred Landscape (Paperback)
Phenomenal photography of sacred sites from around the world. Not all the sites are considered sacred from a traditional standpoint but are sacred from the standpoint of moving the observed to a sense of reverence. From Ayer's Rock in Australia to Machu Picchu in Peru to Glastonbury Tor in England this is a collection of landscape photographs and paintings that are sure to leave a reader with a sense of awe. With each picture there is also a poem or appropriate prose. At another time and place they may have been inspirational words but here they only distract. The last dozen pages of the book contain a few articles about the earth and our responsibilities for the earth and they are excellent articles. This is a book to purchase and keep out in the open where you can open it to a random page and enjoy the beauty that it portrays. Leave it on a coffee table or end table when entertaining and it is sure to open up conversations as someone pages through it. Read it in thirty minutes, enjoy it for a lifetime.

A nice book on nature's amplifying effects on spirituality,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Sacred Landscape (Paperback)
This book is wonderful. Mr. Lehrman highlights the link between our connection to the Earth and our spiritual state of mind. That state of mind is often strengthened by being in places that are awe-inspiring. I often use his poetry and prose accompanying many of the pictures for inspiration and meditation as well. His words help me to look deeper into a beautiful place or a powerful image of nature, and not just focus on a pretty picture. I also like how he makes the connection between spirituality one feels from external stimuli, such as looking at a mountain, and the spirituality one can tap from looking inward into our own souls, noting that the source is the same. One thought in particular stays with me, that once you learn to feel that spiritual link, you can feel it anywhere; powerful or beautiful places of nature merely serve to amplify it.
