Customer Reviews

finding one's story

the book has chapters with opening stories- from various religious traditions and even Scrouge's ghost of Christmas past. The commentary helps us to find ourself with the story. It shows us opportunities to find joy, wisdom and new vision amid the difficulties of aging.

A step towards peace and contentment

While Spiritual Passages by Drew Leder is directed primarily towards the more mature reader, I found this book extremely thought-provoking for readers of any age. I've read a lot of "Exercise your mind" books, but this one seemed to ask the right answers and provide some very valuable insight into many spiritual perspectives about life, death and everything in between. I find myself constantly wanting to refer back to pages when I need some refreshing of the mind.
