A Must-Have book

I am amazed this book is not more widely known and loved. What Harriet Mohr was able to capture is what I've experienced as the Truth, after going through a near-death experience. How she did it, I don't know but I'm glad she did. Her words are so powerful, so lovely and so true. It is too easy to live our lives without the awareness of God really being there but any time I pick up this marvelous book, my awareness shifts back to my heart, back to God. Life is so much better lived from that awareness. I can't say enough good about this book.

The Path of the Spirit

Harriet Mohr's book of aphorisms is simply a great book to have around. But reviews of such a book remain problematic. How is it possible for this reviewer to represent the depth of conviction that lies at the heart of Mohr's writing? Indeed, Harriet's book reminded me of one of my favourites from a completely different sphere of activity - that of cinematography. Whereas Robert Bresson's small book, Notes on Cinematography captures the essence, the heart of filmmaking, Mohr's The God Within engages with human spirit itself. Although The God Within is aimed primarily at a female audience, there is much for everyone. Flick the book open at any page and you will find something important and meaningful. My advice is to leave this book at the side of the desk. You will soon dip in at strategic moments for wisdom that ultimately derives from you yourself. Harriet Mohr manages to convey her conviction without being preachy. And although some readers may rest uneasily with "religious" capitalisation, Harriet's "I" and "Me" speak as an individuated, connected self. To know Me is to remember your whole self. My personal favourites are the koan-like riddles. "My light may be hidden but you can reflect ii" is one that I shall use in meditation. Dr Coinneach Shanks
