Rating:  Summary: This has become one of my favorite books Review: I love Paul Ferrini's writing; simple, yet profoundly beautiful and deeply impacting. "Love Without Conditions", the first in the "Reflections of the Christ Mind" series, has helped me immensely. It is one of those books that I return to again and again. I would recommend this book to anyone whether a spiritual neophite, or someone who has been on a Path for some time.

Rating:  Summary: Good book for people who are spiritual but not "religious." Review: I was put off by the cover illustration but forced myself to open the book and was really pleased with what I read. Considering myself a "layperson" when it comes to religion, this book helped open my eyes to Jesus' teachings and message. Before reading the book, I had no interest or understanding of Jesus and now I consider his teachings universal, especially applicable in today's society. I went on to read the other books that Paul Ferrini wrote in this series. Thanks, Paul.
Rating:  Summary: The words went directly into my heart Review: I'm a spiritual-book junkie, yet, there have been only 3 or 4 books over the years that have affected me as did this book. There is something about the way Ferrini writes that puts me in an almost meditative state. I want to stop after each paragraph and contemplate what I just read. Each paragraph presents a profound thought which seems to go right to the core issue of why we humans continue to suffer, why we can't seem to find "the answer" to living openly and simply together on the planet, why we sometimes find it hard to live with ourselves. It all seems so very simple -- not necessarily easy, but simple. His words seem to bypass my analytical brain and go directly into my heart, creating within me a deep understanding of the concepts presented and a heart-felt desire to live these principles.

Rating:  Summary: Love and Light melt into one's heart Review: In Dec. 1995 I inadvertantly bought this book in the US, feeling magically drawn to it. It has exactly what this hungry world needs most of all: LOVE. I wished these thoughts to be shared all over this globe to build bridges between peoples. It touches the light of the soul and it is just so right. I wonder if this book e.g. has also been translated into German. If not I'd love to do this, for I am convinced as many people as possible should be able to share mutual love.This could be my share. I'd love to hear from you... Love to all of you...

Rating:  Summary: Single most important book of my life Review: So far in my 29 years, this is the best and most important book I have ever read (though on audiobook). I don't consider myself christian and do consider myself very independent, far from mindless dedication, but "Love without condition" IS my bible. I listen to it everyday for about 3-4 minutes and let todays wisdom sink in to my wounded soul. To me, this book is the truth and the definition of love. Thank you, Paul!
Rating:  Summary: Teaching from the Spirit and transcending religion. Review: This book is deep and wonderful, full of Spiritual insight and guidance. Try the book 'A Course in Miracles' for the "unabridged" version of this book. Ferrini is definitely a student of "the Course" and the Holy Spirit.
Rating:  Summary: Unconditional Love Review: This book is touted as "reflections of the Christ mind." (Very heavy stuff.) It actually reads like a modern Bible, at times using archaic language and seeming to be a series of messages sent to the author telepathically, from the mind of some sort of Christ consciousness--I'm not too clear on that. The author seems to believe himself to be a kind of modern-day Prophet spreading the message of compassion and unconditional love for all humanity. (And who am I to deny this?) While I find this difficult to believe, that he is telepathically in tune with the mind of Christ, I still enjoyed the book very much. Whoever actually "said" these words, they are moral, common sense truth. The overall message is one of love, tolerance and compassion. It is really quite a beautiful book to read for Christians and Non-Christians alike. I recommend it highly, especially for those in need of renewed faith in the "Word."
