Be the Person You Want to Be T HIS inspiring book is for all people who have ever desired to grow spiritually and to more fully express their divine nature. Consisting of two hundred ninety-seven personal prayers and meditations, it covers a wide range of life’s challenging experiences, offering healing perspectives on many of the daily needs and concerns that arise for everyone. The spiritual truth and wisdom brought forth here has a gem-like clarity. Brief, powerful passages uplift and renew, startling the reader into fresh ways of thinking. For example, Williams writes: “Walking, walking on the sand. How many beaches have I walked on, merely to return at some future time, to walk on the sand of some distant shore that I have never walked on before?” The first and final chapters of the book are devoted to such meditative passages as this one, gently guiding the reader into realms of reverie and awe. Other chapters provide spiritual renewal and insight with respect to a wide range of common concerns, such as relationships, finances, employment, anger, loss and illness. Many specific issues are also covered, including legal matters, birth of a child, discrimination, pets and chemotherapy. The purpose of the book is to transform old, fear-based or limited patterns of thought and to renew a sense of oneness with Spirit. By spending just a few minutes a day in quiet reflection on each inspirational message, the reader enters into an inner process of transformation and renewal. The author brings much grace and beauty to light in this loving guide to healing and spiritual growth. |

A UTHOR Cheryl Richardson does an excellent job of nudging us to look at the players, the play and the script of our lives in a more intuitive way. The intention of her book, The Unmistakable Touch of Grace, is summed up in this quote from its cover, “There are no coincidences. Every event we experience and every person we meet has been put in our path for a reason.” Most of us have had an experience where something as common as the lyrics of a song feel like the answer we’ve been seeking to a particular situation. In a television interview, rhythm and blues crooner Barry White told the story of hearing Elvis Presley’s “It’s Now or Never” on the radio while sitting in jail for a minor offense. He felt the song was a sign for him to straighten out his life and to pursue his own dreams as a singer. We could debate whether Barry White’s experience was simply a coincidence. Based on her personal experiences, as well as those that she counsels, Richardson would most likely agree that the song was a spiritual signpost for him; she believes that when we are aware, a signpost and its accompanying grace can guide us to the next place, next person or next decision we need to assist us on our journey. When we are standing at the fork in the road Richardson stresses the need to let our intuition assist us in determining our direction. She writes, “Experience has taught me that trusting our intuition is one of the most powerful ways there is to become aligned with our Divine plan.” |
