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!

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.

I have read this book of inspirational quotes and have found it a great way to lift my spirits. It is a book of little quotes that give me a spiritual message anytime I open it. I have also given this book as a present to a dear friend of mine, as I felt it would say I love you in a way that would keep on giving throughout the year. I hope everyone enjoys the little thoughts presented as a way to add a spiritual slant to any day.

This books is a brilliant introduction to the New Church (The New Church is based on the old and New Testaments and the Writings of Emanuel Swedenobrg.) It provides beautiful quotations from a variety of works from Swedenborg's Writings. It is appropriately named for it will guide the reader, in the Way of Wisdom. If you are look for a sampling of Swedenborg's works, or for a great inspirational gift...this book is perfect for you.

This excellent little book helps me keep my mind raised up and out of the petty and selfish mire we all sink into at times. It's guiding wisdom teaches how to love the neighbor as yourself, which is easier said than done. These are valuable meditations especially in times of despair.
