Book Description

Publication Date: September 1, 1999

"This tiny book offers 100 quotations culled from Swedenborg's thirty volumes of theology…All of them challenge the reader to live selflessly."
--Branches

Emanuel Swedenborg wrote about a way to understand the Divine and the self, a path that leads to fulfillment and meaning both here and in the afterlife--the way of wisdom. This collection of 100 quotations, adapted for present-day readers, is arranged for meditation, self-reflection, and personal growth. The quotations challenge the reader to grow in understanding of relationships with God, self, and others.

This review is from: WAY OF WISDOM: MEDITATIONS ON LOVE AND SERVICE (Paperback)

When I need to center myself, or be inspired, and especially if I just have one minute before moving on to the next thing on my list of things to do, a quick reading from Way of Wisdom is perfect. It is just enough of a thought to keep my mind active and growing, but doesn't take much time. It is a good pick-me-up in down times, and the notes in the back are great when I want to explore an idea further. If you want small thoughts from Swedenborg, this is the book to try!

5.0 out of 5 stars So Refreshing, May 9, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: WAY OF WISDOM: MEDITATIONS ON LOVE AND SERVICE (Paperback)

This book is a must read. It contains some of the most useful and applicable spiritual guidelines that I have ever run across. It contains simple, easy to understand concepts about real life--relationships, marriage, the afterlife, prayer, selfishness, giving, guilt, usefulness, the list goes on. The format is easy to read and easy to understand, and the content is amazingly helpful. This is not one of those silly entertaining and yet useless life guides. It is a down to earth, realistic resource of ideas as to how to enrich your life.

This book has gotten me through so much! I open it up when I need a little inspiration and always find a passage that speaks to where I'm at. I also love the comentary at the back. It really helps dig deeper into the passages by Emanuel Swedenborg. I highly recommend this books for anyone who wants some spirituality in their day.
