Talking with Nature and Journey into Nature [Paperback]

Michael J. Roads (Author), Genevieve Wilson (Illustrator)

Book Description

Publication Date: July 16, 2003

Michael Roads had always been close to nature, but when a river started talking to him, he began to doubt his sanity. A series of encounters with the natural world followed, and Roads began to listen — and let go. He found himself led stage by stage to a final wisdom, remarkable in its simplicity and in its message of hope for humanity. This illustrated book, a bind-up of his two best-known works, beautifully articulates that message.

5.0 out of 5 stars Associations between spirituality and nature, September 14, 2003

By 

Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Talking with Nature and Journey into Nature (Paperback)

Michael Roads began to stop and listen to the sounds of nature - and discovered a healing, nurturing power in the process, with a series of visions leading him to communicate with nature by associating his senses with the natural object. Talking With Nature/Journey Into Nature offers a reader describing his experiences and his surrealistic bonding with the environment, and is a recommended pick for any who seek to understand associations between spirituality and nature.

If you're not open to new ideas/alternative ways of seeing life then this book is not for you. But if read with an open mind I am sure that you will take something of use to you from this book. Before I read "Talking with Nature and Journey into Nature" I read "Getting There" by the same author which I would also rate highly. If you like(d) Richard Bach then you'll like Michael Roads.

This review is from: Talking with Nature and Journey into Nature (Paperback)

In these two marvelous books Michael J. Roads provides a key to understanding the essence of nature, Self, and to spiritual development. In the first, Talking with Nature, he introduces the reader to his gift of communicating with all forms of nature - trees, rocks, the river. In the second book, Journey into Nature, Michael meets Pan, the God of Nature, who guides him to the next step, or steps, where he integrates with the spirit of Water, Plant, Mineral and Animal and experiences the truth of the often-quoted "adage", that we all are One. After having read these books and realized the true nature of life, the reader takes a giant step forward in spiritual understanding.
