Natasha Munson's book, 'spiritual lessons for my sisters': is one of those books that only the writer of the book benefits financially from. It is intended for dim witted, gullible, insecure and socially confused women. The book is full of cliches and not practical in real life. The book seemingly sounds very correct but only in a utopian state of being. You get a lot of air but no substance to hold on to. Not on this real earth does one leave in a make believe world with nice connotations that cannot be realistically applied to improve one's self. The writer carefully interweaves God's name in sentences and phrases without really telling the sister readers how it is done. So how does one accomplish the spiritual revival? The writer tells you to do it, but does not tell you how to do it. Whats the point anyways if you cant do it? Any one who knows the differences between a cliche and a proverb will easily decipher that this is a most useless book. Cliches are statements made by "lyrically playing with words and making them sound sensible to the reader. Where else proverbs are time tested advice based on real life experience. Granted, that cliches sound good and make sense to the common person. But cliches are not practical. This book is a realm of cliches and weak religious dogma, intertwined with some proverbs to give you a nice warm feeling in the heart and mind. But try practicing most of what she says. Take a page at random. Read any of the writers cliches. Then ask your self how are you going to enact that what she says in practice? try another page and another...You see what I mean. Her writings sound like today's much music ideology of kids born in the 1990's. here is an example of Natasha Munsoon logic; "A girl would tell her boy freind that; if the guy truly loves her, then he should wait before having sex. But the boy too, would tell the girl, that if she truly loves him, she should have sex with him to show him her true love. Natasha's logic would be based on the girl perception, while completely forgetting that in the real world a girl still has to interact with a man or the people around her. And very often if the man or people she interacts with, also pull out a natasha munson logic advice. It never works out..
