Spirit Junkie by Gabrielle Bernstein

Spirit Junkie: A Radical Road to Self-Love and MiraclesSpirit Junkie: A Radical Road to Self-Love and Miracles by Gabrielle Bernstein
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is based on the principles and teachings of another book - A Course In Miracles. It doesn't matter at all if you haven't read it, in fact it would have helped me understand ACIM better if I'd read this one first.

I saw someone mention this book on facebook and before I knew it, I'd ordered it on Amazon. I consider myself a Spirit Junkie, so I couldn't resist it. When the book arrived, I must admit, I was put off by the cover, it seemed to shout 'this book is for young people'. But I put my judgement aside and I'm glad I did.

The first part of the book is about Gabrielle's life before she found her Inner Guide/Spirit, all the lows, addictions and pitfalls of living from ego. The rest of the book changes in tone, it becomes more like a guide on how you, the reader, can live from Love and Forgiveness and not from Ego. She includes meditations in the book and you can download some from her website.

I read this book in a short space of time and will probably read it again. It inspired me and reminded me of everything I know I should already be putting to use. It's just what I needed right now.
