Reader Reviews
This review is from: Lighting a Candle: Quotations on the Spiritual Life (Hardcover) Lighting a Candle is a heartfelt book of quotations and wisdom that are categorized into four parts. Part 1 addresses "Awakening", and is useful for people who are just beginning their spiritual path. Part 2 addresses "Trials and Tribulations" will bring you light and hope when you are faced with life's difficulties. Part 3 is "Love, Grace, and Interbeing" where you know you are at all times connected to Divine help in your life, as well as bringing to light your interconnectedness with all others. Part 4 is "Action and Service" where you are brought inspiration as you serve from your heart. The beautiful quotations come from varied spiritual teachings, Eastern and Western traditions, spiritual psychologists, wise philosophers, as well as twelve-step recovery programs. One of my favorite quotes in this book comes from Mother Teresa: "In this life we cannot do great things. We can only do small things with great love." Highly recommended for its beauty, truth, and the positive influence it will have in your life. Barbara Rose, author of, `Individual Power' and `If God Was Like Man'
