A Great Practical Spiritual Guidebook
As the host of Global Evolution which aired in Houston on CNN radio, I have been honored to read the works of the worlds greatest spiritual authors prior to my interviews. Return to the Sacred by Jonathan Ellerby, Ph.D, is one of the absolute best books I have ever read on spirituality (and I have read dozens!). There are many out there but none like this that I can think of. Jonathan's writing is divine, his stories beautiful, his prose poetic. This book radiates kindness, compassion, and respect for all. His pen was clearly guided by grace. Jonathan's description on the difference between religion and spirituality is the best I have found. But perhaps best of all, what I enjoy most is the practical stories and dare I say ... down to earth explanations ... that separate this from other purely philosophical, theological or "how to" guides. The step by step advice is seamlessly woven into the text. In this regard, the book reads more like a memoir or even a well crafted novel. I highly recommend this book as a wonderful starting point for anyone beginning their spiritual journey. JD Messinger, Host, Global Evolution.
Nourishment for the soul
Return to The Sacred is nourishment for the soul. People are hungry for depth and meaning in this day and time and Jonathan Ellerby's book offers a beautiful invitation to step in with both feet into a world of meaning and spirit. His journey has taken him into many exciting and unusual adventures and his expert storytelling leads the reader to travel to places far and wide. More than this however, Ellerby's book offers a deeper understanding of the spiritual journey and inspiration that wakes up the soul and calls for it to stay awake. He is a rare and gentle teacher of our time. An amazing book!
