The reviewer is right, I would find it difficult to fully enjoy this book due to the mentioned references to God. I love reading about spirituality but I do not link it with any religion, and this would create some dissonance for me :o Thank you for such a beautifully written and informative review!

This is a book I would read, it is interesting and different. I like the unconventional approach to spirituality as well as how realistic it is. The review is also well done.

I very much agree with the author. Spirituality is present in everything you find in this world. I’m happy that the author is open-minded. Nice work.

I like what you say about atheists and fundamentalist Christians in the last paragraph. Yet, would you think this book actually could be an opportunity to open a dialogue with them? ;)

A positive book, even if I don't really believe it coming straight from the source, it is sure to be comforting for those with a difficult life.

Thank you for the review!

Given the thematic of the book, I'll have to pass. However, I appreciate every author and reader that takes time out of their busy lives to nurture their spirituality and if this book is able to do so for some people, my respect and congratulations to the author

Being a Christian am interested to read this book that encourages people who have undergone depression or face discouragement at a point in their lives. It sounds like inspirational and spiritual uplifting. It will be interesting to learn how the author overcame her challenges. Great review

This is a very gentle and open-hearted book that contains information that will be of interest to Christians, people with metaphysical beliefs, and open-minded agnostics. I think this book is going to be a very educational one. I look forward to reading it. Thanks for this review.

The reviewer says: "Although she is a devout Christian, she is never preachy or sanctimonious about her beliefs". As far as I know, true Christians never are "preachy or sanctimonious" about their beliefs. I am even worried that my comment can sound that.
I believe books of this kind help the writer in the first place, one has a clearer view of their mind once it is written out on paper.
Hopefully, it will also help others who are searching for a spiritual source of strength.

I am glad that the author is not preachy in the book. However, I do not like reading spiritual books pivoted on any one religion. I am sure this book will be a dose of inspiration for Christian readers.
