Take Time For Yourself Dip into Simple Abundance by Breathnach for reminders to take care of yourself, your mind and soul. There is a different essay for each day of the year. One can read at random, choosing the topic most meaningful for the moment. Maybe it is "Setting Your Own Pace", "Playing Hooky" or "Quieting the Wants". ^M
A woman to woman look at life This book, at first looks like a book of daily wisdoms starting with January 1, but it is also actually teaching woman how to embrace themselves and their value.^M
Re: A good book, but overall, a mixed bag I was personally a little confused with the review written by Patty Benson, who claims that Sarah Ban Breathnach is Jewish and that is why she makes so many refrences regarding the Jewish religion. To begin with the author is not Jewish, she was raised Catholic. So the book is full of "Non-Jewish wisdom." Secondly, the book is not about religion which I feel people might assume from the previous review, the book incorporates elements from all religions and searches out the spirtual aspects within each that can be universally appreciated by everyone. And yes sometimes this does include quotes from Jewish mystics. If you're looking for a book that excludes the world at large and focuses on Christianity then perhaps you should read The Purpose Driven Life. If you're looking for a book that embraces the idea of "spirit" and tries to relate it to all walks of life then you should read Simple Abundance. |
