Even Better than the Four Agreements!,
October 25, 2004 A Reader with Gratitude and Appreciation (Minneapolis, MN) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Prayers: A Communion with Our Creator (Paperback)
"Prayers" is even a better book than the Four Agreements, though the Four Agreements build you a foundation. It is meant to be a book we will read when at the quest of love and peace. The book is meant to be read when you are angry, sad, experiencing fear and judgment. Of course you still need to find other ways to work on your anger, this book simply have the power to help you let go of those nasty thoughts. This book is not meant to be used to suppress/deny the existence of anger and fear, for, we need to accept human has all ranges of emotions. There is no right and wrong for whatever and however we feel things. At the end of the day, we are just saying prayers to let go of the emotional poisons. That is the essence of this book. The words of the book can only be experienced and felt. You cannot use your judgmental mind to think and to understand nor can you try to rush finishing the book.

A book that rates next to the Bible,
August 24, 2004 Lady of Cut-outs "Soul of Glee" (Midwest, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Prayers: A Communion with Our Creator (Paperback)
I went to a spiritual retreat and found this book. I was so deeply touched, I bought and sent copies to my friend in New York. She said, "This book is next to the Bible." She cried and
told me that since her divorce (two yrs. ago) that when she went to bed that night after reading two chapters, she didn't feel lonely; that she felt love and peace in her heart.
I read the Circle of Fire prayer and try to live it everyday.
You can't go wrong with this book!

This is no fluff, this is REAL PRAYER!,
April 24, 2002 Charles Wildbank (Westhampton Beach, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Prayers: A Communion with Our Creator (Paperback)
All of Miguel Ruiz' books I have read until I heard this most recent book was out. The author really transcended all his books this time! This book left me feeling enthralled rather, and that is just what the spiritual states are. You take on this small booklet and it takes you right on to that wavelength by use of his amazingly apt imagery. My intuition kept telling me, "This is it!!!" as I immersed myself into the soul stirring pages. How often does this happen to anyone? What is interesting is all of the words feel more natural than ritual. Felt very real to me and hit a nice nerve.
