A view of Birth to death from the great religions of the world. See things from the eyes of others can help each of us transform through our process in life.
Becoming
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
The quest to be spirit filled never ends because it is always revealed that we must continue on toward an ever moving goal. This text certianly reveals fresh,yet ancient ways, to become more aware of what lies around us and how we can incorporate it into ourselves. I have come to understand that to be so self focused is not to be "self centered," for as we beautify our spirit we bring beauty to the world.

Inspiring! I couldn't put it down.
A beautiful book on practical aspects of spirituality
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
I couldn't put the book down. I read a lot of spirituality, but this one is one of the best. It goes over major life events, ways to pray, ways to contemplate, why, how to do it in the modern world. It doesn't recommend running to a guru, but gives sound advice to use today. Highly recommended.
