Customer Reviews

A collectable on the path to wisdom...

A friend gave this book to me, and it was as much a part of her dear empathic self as the truth within its'pages. Full of touching stories and simple truths, this book will open your heart and challenge your limits in the depthless wonder of understanding that we are all on our own seperate paths, yet on the same path, here on the trail of life. This book should be in re-print NOW!!

Hits you right in the center

This book has story after story of the most incredible spiritual messages passed down by the centuries from Christian, Buddist, and Sufi monks; Jewish Rabbis; Native Americans; etc.... I have over 13 years of following a spiritual path and if I ever had to choose one book for "to the point" and direct spiritual nourishment, I'd choose this book.

Stories of the Spirit, Stories of the Heart

A book of much more depth than the "Chicken Soup" books, though it has something of the same purpose.
