Amazon.co.uk Review
Spirituality for Dummies is for smart souls who know that we are all really beginners when it comes to understanding spirituality. Like all Dummies books, the layout is filled with lots of information boxes, bulleted lists, humorous cartoons, quick tips and pithy quotes (from Marcus Aurelius to George Carlin).

Fortunately, author Sharon Javis put a lot of research into this informative discussion on spiritual growth. As a result, she maintains a solid voice that transcends the cluttered and sometimes superficial format. Spiritual practices, such as yoga and mediation are briefly explained along with how to cultivate spiritual values and rise above suffering. At times she offers the kindly voice of experience: "When I'm able to give something to another person, I know it is God giving through me. Then, rather than expecting anything in return I am grateful for having been of service." At other times she is the voice of a well-educated teacher: "Ex means 'out of', while statis is a 'fixed condition'. This means that, in a way, the more fixed conditions you have to move out of, the more ecstatic you can become. Therefore every trouble in your life is really a beautiful gift to be unwrapped". --Gail Hudson
