4.0 out of 5 stars Gems of clarity & wisdom, April 18, 2008

By	Laren Bright (Los Angeles) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

First off, a full disclosure statement: I worked on selecting content for this book.

Having said that, what struck me was how many really uplifting nuggets of clarity and wisdom are to be found in John Morton's writings and talks. I personally love the shorter selections--which are featured here in greater number than in John's first book, The Blessings Already Are. In addition to their usefulness, there is a sparkle and often a hint of humor in them.

My particular favorite starts out with "Go on a happiness safari..." and ends with "and if that pursuit takes you into the wild, then be wildly happy." This is representative of John's positive-without-being-a-Pollyanna approach to life.

I liked working on the book. I loved the final product. I hope others are similarly moved and lifted by this collection of John Morton gems.

By	Elizabeth Baralt "Eli" (USA) - See all my reviews

This is the kind of book I consider as a treasure. When I read each page of "You are the Blessings", I feel a wonderful energy through my body. It would seem that John Morton, the author, wrote each word with special love and caring for us, the readers. Each page has a powerful meaning that reach us immediately. Peace, calm and wisdom flow in the air while John Morton gives us these meditations and reflections. In those moments, we can feel the blessings. The blessings that we are!

This book conveys in very simple words the wisdom, the faith, the divine love, the light God has planted in our hearts. When you open this book more than words come out of it. Blessings of peace and joy touch your heart in a very deep way. I acknowledge John Morton for such magnificent book, I encourage every one to buy it and keep it close to you. At any time, just by reading a small piece of it you would get benefit by its tremendous power and wisdom.
