5.0 out of 5 starsFrom another writer
By Joel B. Reed on August 6, 2005
Format: Paperback
Kent Nerburn's wisdom books are like fine brandy. They are for slow sipping from a crystal sniffter, allowing the vintage to warm the soul. Calm Surrender addresses the most critical spiritual need our generation faces in this strange and violent land, the need to forgive and be forgiven. Growing up in a Southern family which still talked about the "late war of Northern aggression," I learned that "forgive" was the real f-word. Yet holding onto anger is like drinking poison and expencting those we resent to die. Nerburn grasps this nettle firmly and leads us gently to a more sane way of approaching the world.

5.0 out of 5 starsThe Power and Difficulty of True Forgiveness
By Jeremy Garber on July 23, 2009
Format: Paperback
A beautiful, short but challenging book about real forgiveness and the power that it possesses. Nerburn challenges both those who pretend that life is all essentially goodness and light, and those whose anger burns too hot (even in the name of justice) to truly make the world a better place. He takes on the challenge of slavery, of a child's untimely death, of the Exxon Valdez oil spill, and in every case recommends the hard work of honest forgiveness, of not meeting shadow with shadow but of moving imperfectly toward the light so that its glimmer, however faint, can continue to shine.

4.0 out of 5 starsPretty good read
By Cliff on August 24, 2014
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I thought the stories were a little slow in coming but once you got into the second third of the book it went faster and was more enjoyable. Loved the ending where I thought it tied the whole book together.

5.0 out of 5 starsDeeply insightful!
By Tony Lamanna on August 29, 2013
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
Kent Nerburn is one of the most innovative writers when it comes to searching deep within, yet he used such
common sense directing you into your innermost self.

I wish that he would write much, much more!!!!
