Words of Common Sense

This is a book that anyone can read and understand. This is a book that everyone should read and apply. Amazingly simple, and at the same time profound. Read for pleasure or read as a guide to everyday life, this book is not to be missed - common sense is not common.

An outstanding book

Though small in size, 91 pages, this is another outstanding, thought provoking book from who I consider one of the leading spiritual figures of our time. Brother David has opened my eyes to a new way of seeing the Holy Spirit alive in my life and the world as an experiental reality 24 hours a day. The implications of this can be life changing. His suggestion to substitute "Common Sense" for "Holy Spirit" helps to overcome the dualistic rift that religious thought seems to generate. And the many sayings of common sense cited in the book are priceless. Bring some Common Sense into your life and read and meditate on this book!
