Summary: Inspiring without being overpowering
Review: While the idea of a collection of inspiring stories may sound like "Chicken Soup For The Soul", the similarites end there. One of the best things about this book is the way it mixes stories of mundane people with those of the famous, the current with the historical, to point out that this kind of grace could happen to ANYONE. While "Divine Interventions"' sparse, bare bones, almost journalistic style is HIGHLY unusual for this type of book, it lets the reader to decide for himself what to believe. And since it doesn't discuss the "Peaceful Warrior" books, it is a great jumping on point for anyone who's never read a Dan Millman book.For fans of Dan's other works, however, this book does, as he's said, "fill a hole" in his teachings. Despite his practical approach to spirituality and how to use it day-to-day living, Dan makes it clear when he speaks that he believes that sometimes Divine Spirit touches us with grace far beyond what we may have "earned" by our lifestyle and practices. Now, if you've never seen him speak, you can read about his aspect of his beliefs. I highly recommend this book to anyone, believer or not. You can't help but be moved by it.
