Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Sinetar provides a sophisticated method for adult spiritual growth through dialog, either alone or with a small group. Part 1 * discusses spirituality as higher intelligence and emphasizes naturalness, silence, autonomous reflection, meditation, oral reading, and discussion. "Our Brand of Heaven," Chapter 8, shows how sacred texts, especially the Psalms, foster identification with God through increasing attraction and personal integration. Sinetar includes readings for seven sessions designed to encourage spiritual self-evaluation. Both the readings and Sinetar's comments are not restricted to a particular religious tradition. Recommended for public libraries.

Wonderful Gem of a Book,
By A Customer
This review is from: A Way Without Words: A Guide for Spiritually Emerging Adults (Paperback)
This is a great book, especially for those who are dealing with the inner loneliness that seems to come while walking a spiritual path. It's also about the contradiction of loving where you are on that path even though it's hard. A Way Without Words is a term which refers to the fragility of the spoken language in describing the feelings and issues brought on by befriending your spiritual side, and also the difficulties of sharing these ensuing feelings and new personal realities with other people. Even so, it's not about isolating, but feeling whole within oneself to be a happy and peaceful contributer in the world. The book is intelligent and literate enough to appeal to the head, yet its power lies in the effect it has on the heart part of our consciousness. There is a series of nice journaling or group study exercises in the back.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A deeply helpful book,
By Robert L. Rose (Blooming Glen, PA, 18911-0064, Bucks County,United States)) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE)
This review is from: A Way Without Words: A Guide for Spiritually Emerging Adults (Paperback)
I read this book in the early 90s when my own "way without words" was emerging. Sinetar's insights and encouragement enabled me to recognize and to honor my own "spiritual intelligence," a process which continues to this day with a blended practice of silence, journaling and creative writing, meditation, yoga, sacred reading and gardening.
"Adulthood" and "wholeness" have beome one reality in my life, thanks to this book (and so many others); I definitely recommend it, and the reading of it together with another wise book from Marsha Sinetar: "Ordinary People as Monks and Mystics."
