5.0 out of 5 stars This is a "Yessssss!" book on love and relationships!, August 2, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Sacred Psychology Of Love: The Quest For Relationships That Unite Heart And Soul (Paperback)

This book offers such a harmonious blend of spirituality and psychology and is written in such a down-to-earth, comforting style, that I got right into it from the very beginning. The exercises at the end of some of the chapters are creative, thought provoking and very practical. And even though some of the ideas were new to me, I felt challenged yet comfortable enough to follow through with them. There is a lot of information packed into this book, but it all relates to the healing of hearts and souls in a variety of human relationships. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is searching for meaningful relationships, to anyone who wants their present relationships to have more depth and meaning and to anyone who needs healing from painful relationships from the past and who is hoping for something better in the future.

This review is from: Sacred Psychology Of Love: The Quest For Relationships That Unite Heart And Soul (Paperback)

The cover of this book is beautiful - hence 2 stars. However, the book itself is impracticle and singularly unhelpful. This is supposed to be a book about soulmate relationships - but it's actually some esoteric thesis on how to love yourself and the divine within you. That's fine for those who want to read that. But the title & chapter titles should be changed so they are not misleading.
