Five stars might seem unusual from me since I am a Christian pastor at QXChurch, and this is certainly not a Christian book.  I often get asked, "Which religion is right?"  I say, "It depends on your question."  Yes, when it comes to eternity in heaven, I'm going to point you to Jesus Christ.  You'd expect that, right?  But when it comes to living life, you can find very good answers in a great many places.  I preach, "We have a point; they may also have a point."  So, from time to time, someone asks me about some other idea, thought, or belief system.  This book came to me via a friend to whom it has meant a great deal, so I thought I'd dive in an see what I found.Many deep, profound truths are very simple.  They are simply difficult to see.  Jesus talked about Love.  Simple.  Profound.  Immeasurably deep.In this book, we come to some deep, profound ideas.  So many blessings in life begin with simple invitations.  You don't know where it's going.  You have no way to know how much is being offered with the simple invitation.  You can see that parallel that I see as a pastor, I trust.  Many blessings in life begin with how we respond to the simple invitation.  The whole world can change based upon our response.  It begins with us.  It ripples through us to others around us.  From there, it continues for as long as people pass the blessing along.  Simple.  Powerful.Self-focus and selfishness eventually implodes, and, of course, only serves the Self and perhaps those I consider "mine."  Ultimately, the secret is harmony.  Since my own book invests heavily in harmony (The Secret Book: How to Get Everything You Ever Wanted in Life through The Law of Harmony (Kingdom of Blessings)that deeply resonated with me.  I write about it on a more practical "here, do this" level.  This book comes from a deep, heart and spirit profound realization level.  I like it.  For the principles it addresses, the story is very powerful and deeply meaningful.So much of what we face in life is best faced with peace and serene confidence.  For the author's sake, I hope I have not over-revealed her message, but it is a powerful, worthy read.  Yes, I can highlight a few ideas here for your consideration.  Nothing compares to walking through the lessons with Lanti and her grandfather Bear Hawk.  Learn as Lanti learns.  Realize as she realizes.  In that there is power.  The images will stick with you, and because of that, the lesson will stick with you.  In them you may find a depth and resonance far beyond what I see - as did my friend.
