The Invitation

Summary: This book is a masterpiece!
Review: This book touched me deeply.The book was a "raw" and very honest expression of what I believe all our souls yearn to say! This book touches on the total experience of being human and of feeling our emotions fully. I am not surprised that this book was such a HUGE success for her! She has an amazing gift of expression. (Unfortunately her other books, for me were not as good as THE INVITATION).To A.Dax from Torrance,CA who posted a review about this book: are you sure you read the same INVITATION as the rest of us?I never found any "cop-out" connotations that you were going on about.This book is a masterpiece!Along with my favourite authors Eckard Tolle and Anthony de Mello, Oriah's "Invitation" is an absolute must read!

Summary: Disappointing!
Review: This book was chosen for our December book club thinking it might be an uplifting book for the holiday season. Not a single one of us liked the book (7 in all). We made our decision based on the poem which indeed sounded promising. We all found she contradicted herself quite often and it really was more or less one big pity party! Really deserves less than one star!

Summary: RISK LOOKING LIKE A FOOL
Review: This is one of about 1/2 dozen books I keep in my bedroom-- the rest are in the office on shelves/bookcases. This is one of the few that has the honor of being read and re-read. It is one that I recommend to my career counseling clients and to anyone going through a transition (aren't we all)in life and/or love. Simple, easy to read, touching and memorable. An easy one to re-read at 3 am on one of THOSE mornings!!!

Summary: A devastatingly simple and profoundly wise book of hope.
Review: This little treasure of a book takes ordinary life and elevates it to mystical status.It is one of the most moving books I have ever read and when I finished the last page I actually felt better about myself than I have in a long time. Do not misunderstand, this isn't some flaky new-age message. This book is firmly rooted in real-life but it manages to make the mundane trials of our lives seem more like a dance with the divine that connects all humans. I would hate to say anything that might make potential readers shy away from this book, and I really am not able to convey its beauty or the feeling of peace I felt while visiting the noble world illuminated by Ms. Mountain Dreamers words but please, as a favor to yourself and someone you love, find this book and read it. Your soul will thank you.

Summary: I knew I could not be the only one!
Review: To begin I must thank this wonderful woman for her courage to share this wonderful book with the world. I would then like to thank her for letting me know that I am not strange or weird and nor are my thoughts on living my life as I have thought for so long. She has given me the okay to be who I am, because I strived for so long to let others know who I was, and now I see myself in the pages of her book. I believed all that she writes and hid this because others could not see what I was trying to say. Now I have a book, a guide to pass on to those who look puzzled at me and wonder 'who are you'. I am the one who lives through my heart, soul, and lives life with love. Thank you for setting me free and to all of those who have crossed my path, wondered who I was, read this book and find the answers to your questions.
