John did a fabulous job of capturing the key principles to perfecting one's life in this mortal journey back to our Heavenly Father, and by developing the required relationship with our Savior and Redeemer, Christ our Lord.  What incite for all of us as we make this great journey.

I'll soon begin serving on our church's Christian Education team and bought this book to help guide me.  It is a deeply insightful take on spiritual formation focusing on practices rather than the usual head-tripping the passes for Christian education among so many.

I was captivated by Donofrio's ability to share her spiritual walk, her fears after her rape. Her growth is evident as she progresses through the book.  It is books like this that encourage us to continue our spiritual walks.  We are all on a spiritual journey whether we know it or not.  She makes that clear in her first book, Looking for Mary, and continues it here.

I have read probably hundreds of spiritually focused books over the years.  This is by far the most concise and all-encompassing I've read so far.  It spells out the signposts along the spiritual journey in a way that rings truth to your soul.  I found it very encouraging and uplifting.  It's not a "how to" book, but nourishing food along the path and it hits home in these spiritually charged times.  I love this book!  I plan to read it again...and again...

My spiritual journey led by my True Self gently eased me out of the controlling guilt-laden religiosity full of fear and hate, denominational separateness with a God designed to fit into whatever that particular doctrine might be and was usually for the most part a vengeful God. Once I stepped into the light and allowed my True Self to open my mind each step brought me closer to the truth. All the chosen great profits were united in their understanding of what God, our Creative Force was expressing through them "the Way", how we are all connected, how we all have within us God. This was my second book to have read by Joseph Benner. His interpretation opened my eyes, gave me new purpose and understanding. The fact that he wrote anonymously, giving no credit to himself for the wisdom that flowed convinced me further that I am on the right path and that he was also chosen.

Troy Caldwell begins this very useful book by describing the realms of our soul, then helps us to discover the path of spiritual growth and healing that, if we are willing, we can travel. He does this by insightfully and creatively integrating the Christian story with Carl Jung's spiritual psychology. He does this beautifully by presenting theory illustrated with personal stories of his own journey and those of his clients. This allows the reader to be personally drawn into the teachings he presents. Thus is opened for us the perspectives and tools of archetypes, symbols, metaphors, imagery, dreams and inner healing. With these and other tools the depths of the soul can be accessed and moved toward wholeness  and vibrant living. A highlight for Christian readers is to see Jesus with new eyes and discover his presence in healing and comforting from the center of our very being. As a trained therapist, pastoral counselor, healing prayer minister,  trainer of spiritual directors, and as one who has been intentionally committed to my own soul's growth, I am delighted to recommend this book to you. The treasures found here will challenge and enable your growth. Rest assured that Dr. Caldwell is a wise, experienced and trustworthy guide.

Donald Miller intertwines his own personal reflections on spirituality and intentional living with a story of a road trip that he had taken many years before.  He easily goes from telling a story of the open road to relating it to some deep, insightful thought that he has about his relationship with God and others.  I thoroughly enjoyed this book and it was the first of Miller's writings that I had read.  I have since read nearly all his other books and would recommend them to anyone who is looking for a spiritual read without any heavy theology.

An interesting and short volume written to help Christians acquire a keener spiritual insight at looking past the natural world and physical senses to perceive the ever present God.
Many of the observations in this book will ring true with its readers - the differences between prayers that seem routine and the prayers that seemed to have a vibrant connection with God, the lack of awareness of a supernatural nature, building a sense of spiritual progression and demonstrating a sincere will for the will of God above personal desires.
While I could very easily say the parts of this book that I took great knowledge from, it is in the `Main Characteristics of Faith' section in the final chapter that the book is best summarised. The author speaks from great experience and with a great deal of clarity. Not afraid to reveal his own failings, he reveals how truer faith can be realised.
I enjoyed this book and found it well written, well set out and accessible.

Greg is a master at writing with a conversational tone. At times I literally felt like we were just talking. His insights are practical and I felt like I was learning along with him. Spiritual leaders must read this and allow for a similar process in our lives. God is speaking if we will listen

The author has brilliantly captured the essence of our spiritual needs in poignant and contemporary language.
I love the anecdotal accounts that clarify the many messages in the Bible that I have either misunderstood or found confusing previously. I found that I needed to read further after completing each chapter. When one discovers what the enemy is up to in our lives one becomes better equipped and prepared to deal with the "daily" issues that confront all of us!
This is a MUST read. Bravo!!!

I resonated with the author's inspiring, well written, and sometimes heartbreakingly humorous account of her life experiences which led to her "breaking free" of personal traumas and societal constraints to a place of acceptance, understanding and recognition of who she is.  Christi's journey of her growth, and ultimately full embrace of her gifts, is inspiring, and her exercises for intuition development have proven very helpful in my personal spiritual growth.  This is a great short read for those who are on the spiritual path.

Interesting insights into the spiritual journey of Christ and Buddha. It also reminded me to once again focus on the lessons of forgiveness, no matter how big or small that lesson might appear to be.
