Part-Time Angels: and 75 Others

by Richard Bach

"These are your own sheep," she said, "and you’re destroying them? And you don’t care?"

"They’re not sheep, they’re words. They’ve been read. So I’ll just sweep the ashes, make room for other words."

"Whisk? All gone?”

"That’s what I’m planning. Do you mind?”

"OK. They might as well be buried. I’m sorry I screamed."

[Evgeniia · Rating 5 out of 5]

"Слова - это просто слова. Когда кому-то очень хочется победить, позволь ему это сделать. У меня свои представления о мире, у других - свои. Незачем доказывать кому-то, что я прав, а все остальные неправы."

"Реальным можно назвать то, что меняет наше мышление, а значит, и нашу жизнь."

Невероятная энергетика у этого человека. Читая его размышления я сразу же заметила, что они вызывают отклик в моей душе. Эта книга - сборник записей Баха с его официального сайта. Там он ведёт личный блог, но каждая запись моментально превращается в рассказ. По его же словам он не может писать просто и обыденно, даже элементарное по смыслу предложение ему хочется написать красиво и литературно. В этой книге сильнее всего раскрывается Бах как человек, хотя это и не удивительно. Некоторые его жизненные позиции удивляют, но в основном его восприятие мира, реальности и духовности восхищают. Чтобы стать таким просвещённым человеком с таким уровнем осознанности надо еще работать и работать над собой, но читая его слова все равно находишь их созвучными со своим мировоззрением.

What. Do you believe?

If you are considering this book you have in all likelihood read previous works by Richard. If so you won't be disappointed in this most recent effort. Richard weaves meta physical possibilities with reality in a smooth interesting manner that captures your imagination and promotes self discovery. If you are a fan and reader of his this will not disappoint. Sit down in the family circle and return to the world of Bach.

Richard Bach A pilot’s friend

This man writes some of the most thoughtful pieces that ring true with other pilots. He understands the pull of the sky and airplanes of all kinds. He is a good friend to all who fly or have ever wanted to fly.

I remember around ten years ago, when I was so much in love with Richard Bach's books and stories... They felt so right, so uplifting, so inspiring. And then I was putting this one off for a very long time because I was feeling that something had changed in me. And I was right, unfortunately. It still was nice, and I could see why I used to love these books so much, but they are simply not for me anymore. Which is sad. But still, it's 4 stars, even if for nostalgia purposes.
