I believe this book is invaluable to those of us blessed with years of formal religious training, as well as those newly seeking faith. Sometimes religious training has the unfortunate effect of encouraging walls around people, rather than the bridges we need to build. I think God knows we need messengers like Anne Carroll Decker in every age to remind us that we are, above all, eternally connected as a family. If you begin with this book, you will want to be sure to continue with Anne's "Circle of the Soul."
A Special Angel

After reading and re-reading Ms. Decker's book with our Women Together Church Group, I can believe that the messages contained in the book could only have come from an angel. Ms. Decker herself came to speak to our group on two occasions. After both events, myself and others in the group came away feeling that we had been part of the encounter! After you read this book, and if you are fortunate enough to meet the author in person, your spiritual life will never be the same. You will learn to listen to the quiet voice of God when it speaks inside of you.
Everything Counts!

I came upon this book in a very simple and strange way when a total stranger lent it to me at a time in my life when I was searching for meaning. I have read this beautiful book 4 or 5 times and I get someting new out of it every time. The stength in forgiveness and prayer is mystically simple and yet imperative in our moving forward toward God. I have bought many copies for friends who are equally mystified. I really cannot describe it except to say that it will change the way you look at your life and the lives of all God's creations.
Reading this book is a remarkable and worthwhile experience.

From a reveiw by Wm Airth-Kindree, author and publisher/Lyonesse Press: "From these encounters, Anne comes to understand that when we offend another, however insignificant or reprehensible they may seem, we distance ourselves from our source of love and goodness, our God. What we do to or for little ones, we also do for ourselves, and for our Lord and for all of our others. When we visit prison or hospital, we effect the very universe, even as ripples from a thrown stone change all of the dynamics of the pond. Anne's angels proclaim that we are all one and that what we do, whether for good or for evil, influences everything else, and even returns to influence us. The Good News which is so often relegated to dry pages in dusty corners, under Anne's hand once again glows with life, fresh and exciting and above all, convincing."
For better living: a life changing book.

Songs of the Soul is a practical, helpful, readable book dealing with the "how to's" of nurturing our soul...It makes spirituality understandable and doable... Of particular help to me was its pages on prayer... I feel blessed to have read Songs of the Soul...
