This is a book about TRUE freedom
The most powerful part of this book is the section on becoming a witness. Since reading that section, I peacefully handled a situation that historically for me would have caused great turmoil. This book is for anyone who is open to believing that there is a divine purpose in all of our lives.

It changed my life...or at least my perception of it.
I was familiar with Dr. Dyer's previous writings, and prepared to enjoy this book. But nothing prepared me for the way that it dealt so well with issues that are affecting my life in the here and now.Having received Jesus Christ as my personal savior twenty years ago this year, I had read the New Testament many times over. The concept of "dying to self" had seemed to be one I would never grasp, and I had long ago filed it under the category of platitudes= that's a safe place to hide things you can't understand but know that they should be important to you.The thing in Dr. Dyer's book that made the strongest impression was the way that he dealt with the conflict between the ego (which thrives on the illusion of seperateness) and the higher self. As Dr. Dyer says, the ego could never bear to actually meet God, for it would be finished.And so it seems that life is, after all, not a series of random coincidences, but all part of God's plan.Some people might be happier if Dr. Dyer had stuck more to "mainstream" Christian sources rather than quoting from such a broad spectrum of thinkers. Those people are more interested in making ideas safe for people than making people safe for ideas. There's one thing for sure. The nice people who run our local library would have been happier if I had read this book in a rush rather than reading and re-reading so many passages. They probably thought I was never going to return that book! -- Howard Paul Burgess
