OOOHHHMMM

If you need a little peace of mind but don't know quite how to go about it, this is the book for you. I have given it to many friends as a gift. I was buying hardcover copies from used book stores, but it has now been reprinted in paperback. Feel the force!

Everyone deserves the fruits of this read!

My husband and I were introduced to A Sacred Primer through a retreat given by Elizabeth Harper Neeld at the Cenacle in Houston Texas. The book comes alive in a very special way when this grounded, gracefilled woman shares her personal experiences of her spiritual practice as well as the experiences of historical and contemporary believers in The Divine. My husband and I are following the example of another couple who are reading the book together in an "allowable" mode. We expect to be surprised as together we read, reflect, and receive. We look forward with anticipation to other works (and retreats)from this gifted scholar.

A Sacred Primer was a joy to read

Elizabeth Harper Neeld's book, A SACRED PRIMER is food for the soul. The book shows the author's understanding of the spiritual and the Divine. The book was filled with refreshing ideas for rejuvinating the soul and the heart. I enjoyed the commentaries at the end of the chapters and I am recommending this book to others.I look forward to more insight from this gifted writer.

I'm already four weeks into my own spiritual practice!

Isn't the proof always in the pudding? After many other attempts over the years, Elizabeth Neeld seems to provided me with what I needed. Combining her own refreshingly real experience with a rich quotations from diverse sources and a multi-faceted format that touched much more than my intellect, I found Sacred Primer to be a fascinating read. But the most wonderful surprise has shown up in my own life -- I'm actually applying what I've read and reaping the benefits already. PS I've already given SP to many family and friends and I hear the same from them.
