Who am I? Why am I here? What is the meaning of life? Is there a God? In a moment of solitude it’s likely that at least one of these, so called, big life questions has crossed your mind. Why me? What’s wrong with me? What do I have to do to get passed this roadblock or passed this pain? In a time of distress it’s likely that at least one of these soul-crying questions has also haunted you. In Lessons Learned in Life’s Still Moments, Evette Gardner explores these questions (and more) in a collection of articles about the nature of Spirit and how to be guided by it, the value of challenges and how to be enriched through your encounters with them, and a look at some of the tools you have at your disposal to steer your life in a direction that will offer more fulfillment. “Such wisdom in these words”, responds one reader. “Powerful and empowering indeed.” A thought-provoking work that looks at timeless ideas in a fresh way, you are sure to come away with a buffet of food for your thoughts to chew on in your own life’s still moments.
Let me confess. I love a good self help book. When Mismag Publishing offered an opportunity to read this one in exchange for a review, I jumped on it. This one is a nice length and you can finish it on a couple of sittings. The author does a great job of writing a brief comprehensive outline of spiritual awakening. I'm not a big believer in the law of attraction but I enjoyed her focus on the spirituality in each of us. If there is a shortcoming it's the lack of personal stories. My favorite way of learning is from example and I wish more real life examples had been included.
