So many books, so little time!

Fall is here! Do you miss going back to school? If you’re looking to learn something new, here are a few books you might want to check out.

The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron
This is supposed to be a book to help you recover your creativity, but I have found it is a book for any sort of recovery: loss, trauma, connection to Spirit, or rediscovering yourself. This is a twelve-week program, but I found I wanted to continue with the exercises long after the three months were over. Cameron guides you gently toward a deeper spiritual connection, greater self-confidence, clarity, and comfort through what she calls “morning pages.”  This book transformed me. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

God: A Human History and Zealot both by Reza Aslan
It’s the history of God! In God: A Human History, religious scholar Aslan, shows how we have tried to make sense of the Divine since prehistoric times. And although this is a heavy topic, in Aslan’s hands, it becomes an enjoyable read.

Zealot is the biography of the historical (rather than biblical) Jesus. He separates the facts from the myths without diminishing Jesus’s conviction and passion. This book is so good, I read it twice.

Kitchen Table Tarot and Kitchen Table Magic both by Melissa Cynova
If you’re looking to learn about tarot or about witchy-woo magic, pull up a chair and join Cynova in these down-to-earth guides for beginners.

Prayer Is Good Medicine by Larry Dossey
I love a good double-blind study that shows how Spirit works miracles. But don’t think this book is stuffy. Dossy compares prayer to having a pet. They’re both someone to talk to, something that reduces stress, and something that promotes a sense of being loved unconditionally.

Breath by James Nestor
This book was recently recommended to me and I’ve been recommending it like crazy ever since. Guess what—you’re breathing all wrong. Guess what else—breath is prayer. More on that next week, but you might want to get a head start on me and pick up a copy now.

The Spontaneous Fulfillment of Desire: Harnessing the Infinite Power of Coincidence by Deepak Chopra
You can’t go wrong with Chopra. All of his books are inspiring. This one is about the little miracles we experience: synchronicities. There’s some quantum physics, but it’s presented in an accessible way. I can learn how to harness coincidences to rewrite my future? Yes, please.

What book should I read next? Let me know your favorite spiritual book.
