Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Brown has written a number of good guides to nature. In this volume, he purports to share his knowledge of the spiritual realm, and on occasion, he provokes thoughtful introspection. But more often he comes across as condescending, filled with pity for those who do not share his deep rapport with nature. Brown's account of the spiritual path includes such things as time travel, superhuman strength, and above all, visions. More skilled hands could have formed this material into a spiritual tale of the search for enlightenment, but here it sounds trite, fantastic, and ultimately, unbelievable. Public libraries may get requests for this book from Brown's many fans, but until then, it is not recommended for purchase. Randy Dykhuis, Grand Rapids P.L., Mich.

5.0 out of 5 stars A unique and scary insight, July 28, 1999
This review is from: The Vision: The Dramatic True Story of One Man's Search for Enlightenment (Religion and Spirituality) (Paperback)
This book is a unique and scary insight into what we have become and what we might yet become if we don't wake up and start treating the world like a huge landfill. I'm a medical professional (RN) and by no means a granola-eater or tree hugger, but after reading this book, I stopped taking my world for granted and started giving thanks for little things, like the food I eat, the plants that give me oxygen and food, the sun that gives life to all, etc. Pay specific attention to the prophecies toward the end of the book. If they aren't a wake-up call, I don't know what is!

Excellent book, highly recommended, as are any of Tom Brown's books. He's an even more powerful speaker than an author, so if you have an opportunity to see him, do it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth Re-reading, March 12, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The Vision (Paperback)
I have read this book twice now, I enjoyed and learnt it both times. Better the the previous two books, in 'The Vision' Tom goes deeper into his personal spirituality. The book takes you through many of Tom's life lessons building nicely into where the later books will take you. It is the kind of book where you will find something covered which will add insight to your current life circumstances.

5.0 out of 5 stars our society, December 11, 1999
By Neil S Stinson (Nashville Tn- Outside) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Vision: The Dramatic True Story of One Man's Search for Enlightenment (Religion and Spirituality) (Paperback)
As Mr. Brown teaches, we are a society that kills our children to feed our Grandchildren. This book has many wonderful lessons. Although they take time (alone time)to digest, they are very rich in wisdom and make those who learn their teachings, wealthly beyond compare. I highly recommend his school as well. It will cahnge your life, not to mention your Vision
