Awakening the Spirit Within

Through the up and down cycles in life, we often look everywhere outside of ourselves for the answers and forget to simply look within. Jan Forrest reminds us that the way to truly discover our place and purpose in life is to listen to, and trust, our own inner wisdom. Arranged as 100 brief reflections, this slim, attractive volume invites us to browse through the pages and find the perfect passage that will touch our heart today. Although this would certainly be a perfect gift book for a friend, woman or man, consider giving yourself this gift of reflection today.

Jan's little book is a Treasure House. It skillfully reconnects us to our Spirit within. Her writing is wise and authentic, touching me on many different levels. Each page is a daily meditation. This book makes a wonderful gift to share with someone you love.

Awakening the Spirit Within is a day by day guide to living in peace within our world. As the author has suggested, I just open up randomly to a page first thing in the morning. Then I know what I need to pay attention to for that day. It helps me to stay in touch with my spirit on a daily basis.

Jan Forrest's latest book, Awakening the Spirit Within is a keepsake treasure that can also be called a lifetime companion. This is because her wisdom and spiritual insights are timeless and universal. Her gentle suggestions for connecting with Spirit through everyday life are empowering to all who feel the tug of Spirit but don't know how to respond. Read it from front to back in one sitting or page by page as the mood strikes. Either way, Jan's words are soothing and comforting, inspiring and affirming. The index in the back is especially helpful for specific needs. If you think you are too busy to take time for spiritual sustenance, this book is for you. One minute is all it takes to read one page and be blessed by a shift in perception about some important aspect of your spiritual nature. Ahhhhh!

There are lots of books about spirituality, but sometimes you just need a little morsel to chew on rather than an expansive chapter that requires deep pondering. Awakening the Spirit Within offers just that. A paragraph or two on each page that offers a bite of wisdom combined with a challenge to rethink outdated thoughts and remember the good ones.Would also make a great gift.
