Customer Reviews

Dr. Gabriel Mayer

It is a very useful daily text. As a member of 12 step programs I use a daily meditation reading each morning to commence my daily spiritual program. With this little book which has a daily "one liner" from Torah or Talmud we are led into a brief spiritual discussion and I find myself,at the end of each reading ,transported into a reflective state. This is a very well executed work and succinctly bridges the meditative and religious spiritual gap.

Good Discussion Tool

Although some of the daily sayings are a little simplistic, most of them are good jumping off points for discussion. We try to read one every day with breakfast or dinner and find that we can spend a good half-hour debating the "moral issue" raised or even refer to the Bible to check out a point. It's definitely added something to our lives.

This excellent book reminds you of what is truly important

A lot of people read inspirational books to start the day. I've found that I like to read Sacred Intentions at the end of the day, especially those days where I feel like the whole world is against me and nothing has gone right. The authors have done a masterful job of putting together something that is truly inspirational, not sappy and sentimental, that helps you to remind you of what is really important.

A book to lead us into the next millenium!
