Finding Yourself in Transition: Using Life's Changes for Spiritual Awakening (Paperback)

~ (Author)

Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Anxiety, fear, despair, and hopelessness are just a few of the reactions to the changes that accompany us on our life's pilgrimage. Brumet, a Unity minister, charts a path through life's most difficult transitions by combining wisdom from the Bible, Carl Jung, and Eastern religious traditions. The author believes that change may be used positively as an avenue to greater spiritual awareness. While Brumet's emphasis on the life-enhancing character of the difficult transitions we daily face is a message that needs hearing, his meaning is masked in the tired language of popular psychospirituality. Libraries have plenty of these kinds of self-help manuals already. Not recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Only Constant is Change, December 15, 2003

By	Michael S. Waren "schoeder" (Chicago, IL USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Mr. Brumet's book is extremely timely now in today's busy and ever changing times and is a true Unity classic. Having been out of work for over year and having lost the one thing that I thought defined me, I am extremely thankful I found this book when I did. Mr. Brumet explains why transition occurs, the process of it and the paradoxes that often present themselves as we go through the transition process. I truly enjoyed his juxtaposing the story of Moses in illustrating his transition philosophy. Each chapter has a short summary highlighting the main points of the chapter for easy reference.

This book is great. It draws on so many different perspectives to help people deal with the sometimes difficult transitions of life. It gives examples from the bible, as well as various authors and even eastern perspectives. It has been helpful to me during a time of transition in my life.
