5.0 out of 5 stars Ktchen Table Wisdom, March 16, 2007

By	S. Swoverland "Shane" (usa) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Reading this book is an experience in healing. I saw in these stories that my problems are not mine, but that problems are common to each of us. I am not alone in this no matter what the trouble is, someone else has gone through it, and that is the key; they have gone through it, lived beyond it, and are now aware of the blessing of problems. This is a book about forgiveness, conscious surrender, and expansion. It will move you to tears and laughter.

5.0 out of 5 stars Kitchen Table Wisdom, January 18, 2007

By	Carol Irwin (San Jose, California) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is wonderful for anyone who wants to connect to themselves on a deeper level. Written by a medical doctor who through her own work and illness has developed a deep sense of compassion for the human condition. The book is also appropriate for any doctor who has treated patients who have experienced pain and loss. This book should be required reading for any healthcare provider as it teaches us that healing and love can be one and the same. This book is also appropriate for family members caring for loved ones who are chronically or terminally ill, and for the those who are coping with life threatening illnesses. You may read this book more than once. I know I will.
