A must read!

This is truly a rare book. I consider myself a well travelled spiritual seeker and this book was not only a validation, but helped me see old things in a new light, and new things I have not yet considered. It describes the nature of spiritual experience from the inside out - it was often like having a spiritual experience while reading it!What more can I say: it was easy to read, I didn't want it to end and I know I'll read it again. I'd say this is a must read! If you consider yourself interested in new thought, spiritual awakening, or having a better understanding of the human soul and the universal nature of the sacred, this book is for you... please read it and get started on the next level of your path! Return to the Sacred!

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.
