A MUST

ILLUMINATIONS is truly a MUST. This book is perfect for those of us who are looking for beauty, understanding, and spiritual richness in life. It is filled with magnificent art work, photographs, drawings and the myriad of various texts just left me astounded. I have given this book to a dozen friends and have received nothing but kudos for doing so! I have referred to ILLUMINATIONS several times during the past year and inevitably receive the inspiration therein.

The best gift book ever! Give it to your Self.

I gave this book to all my good friends for Christmas. Every one of them, and they are an eclectic group, loves it. This is a book to be savoured like a fine wine. Each time you pick it up, you discover something new and wonderful. I find a favorite poem or photograph or essay or quotation every time I look at it. There are so many jewels here, so much accumulated talent. The editiors, Jennifer McMahon and Mark Tompkins, have truly given all of us who are lucky enough to encounter this book a gift to be treasured for many years. If you haven't been lucky enough to have been given this book, buy one for yourself today. You will love it!

A Gem of a Collection

I was delighted and fortunate to discover "Illuminations" through the publication of one of my poems. It is a gem of a collection, encompassing all faiths and beliefs, very spiritual and uplifting, filled with beautiful and inspiring pictures, a work of art in itself. It is at the same time meditation, essay, poetry, and will even spur your creativity. I was blessed to be part of it and recommend it as an opportunity for communion with the self.

Eye Opening and Uplifting

This book is a real treasure. It's a wonderful compilation of art and personal stories from people who are looking for greater spiritual meaning in their lives. Rather than preaching, it has people share their experiences from around the globe about their spiritual journey. It reminded me how alike we all are and validated some of my own inner reflections. I highly recommend this book.

A Stunning Collection

This is a marvelous collection filled with fresh and original graphics, poetry and prose dealing with struggles and successes along the spiritual path. Disclosure first, though. I'm one of the contributors with two poems included. I've never been so stunned, however, by a finished product that included my work. The beauty of this book's production, the dozens of fine photos and paintings and the sincere sentiments expressed in the poetry and prose, compelled me to spread the word. "Illuminations" is a very special book, in which spiritual seekers from around the world portray their struggles, their failures, their discoveries. It is packed with surprises and treasures.
