A review by ajlewis2
God of Love by Mirabai Starr
5.0
She speaks of her own spiritual/human experiences and dares us to be open to the Heart of it all ourselves. This book does not compare doctrines, but goes much deeper to draw us into our own journey of discovery.
I loved how she brought to mind the sacred in the everyday and how she expressed the reality of powerful experiences as well. One example was a two-page description of the process of forgiveness which finally came as pure gift. It resonated with my own years of going through such a process and she it the feeling of release that came for me seemingly out of the blue. So often I had that sense that someone knows and understands what my experience was like.
While I don't feel I want to try out what she suggests at the end of the book, I am grateful for her own experience of interspirituality which has helped me understand more of why my experience of spirituality has left my doctrinal stance very open ended. The book tells a lot about these religions and their rituals and shows at the core how these and some other religions seek the same goals.
