Tears of Surprise
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
I read this book several months ago, and was in tears by page seven. It was unbelievable how it reached me. The subtitle sounded too simple: "How to give and receive more Love." I figured that it might be obvious type things like "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." But it was much deeper than that for me. I learned things that I have already applied in my life, and my relationships have gotten more powerful. I also love myself more, which seems strange, but Alchemy of the Heart showed me that it's not really strange, but key. What an awesome little book!
