There is such a wealth of knowledge in this little book and if people were to find out how much was contained therein, it would sell for a million dollars a copy. Unfortunately the world has little interest in this kind of outlook and spirituality. Reading it has changed my life and lives of many others. ... So please...buy the original...Trustful Surrender to Divine Providence and you will have the best one to read and meditate on. Have a good day and God bless!

5.0 out of 5 stars Quite simply the greatest thing I've read (after scripture), December 28, 2000

This review is from: Trustful Surrender to Divine Providence: The Secret of Peace and Happiness (Paperback)

There are not enough words for me to describe the impact of this book on my life and on others I know.

One warning however - despite its timeless truths, this is not for everyone. If you're reading it and either arguing with it or being confused by it, put it down and leave it alone for a time. For everything there is a season.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simple concept - profound results, November 11, 2001

This review is from: Trustful Surrender to Divine Providence: The Secret of Peace and Happiness (Paperback)

I have to confess I was resistant to reading Trustful Surrender. I am a yoga meditation teacher and I did not want to read another book on Catholic doctrine. (I love the Catholic mystics however). This book was a pleasant and powerful surprise and it had a surprising influence on me. The basic concept is so simple - trustful surrender as an attitude towards ones life. It seems so simple .....till you try it. I discovered how willful and controling I am...and how this willful attitude caused me tension and suffering.

Whether or not your are a Christian, if you can read this with an open mind the concepts presented are revolutionary. The Yoga Sutras, (the yoga version of the Bible) goes on for 190 + terse sentences about all the different yoga practices that will lead to enlightenment and an understanding of oneself....but then in one sentence it says...... All of this can also be accomplished by surrender to God.

Give the book a try. Its well worth (dollar amount).
