 The right book at the right time July 16, 1999
20 out of 20 found this review helpful
Cross cultural awareness, an appreciation of the common truths underpinning various religious traditions practiced in America today, and an integrative grasp of the relationship between human psychology and spirituality -- all are present in Lesser's inspirational work. She combines practical spiritual advise, with wisdom, gained while meeting the challenges of her own personal spiritual journey. Her insights, into the withering effects of a predominately patriarchal work environment on the souls of working women, are particularly enlightening and validating. "The New American Spirituality" is definitely a keeper -- a "must read" for the modern American spiritual seeker.

What I love about this book is I can open it anywhere and be nourished, drawn back into my spiritual core. Yes, it covers a lot of ground but it does so beautifully, accurately, and with great honesty. And reading the personal story of the author is very compelling. I keep this book by my bedside and dip into it often.

I enjoyed reading this book. I found the writing to be calming and uplifting... a way to reconnect with what's important. The whole book can be viewed as a spiritual tool as well as the components which include suggested methods/sources, etc. Although it is a hefty book (400+ pages I believe), I was sorry to see it come to an end. I would heartily recommend this book to others! Thanks, Elizabeth, for sharing so much of your personal journey and your far-reaching wisdom!

I've been to Omega a few times, but this book really convinced me that spirituality is something people should explore and embrace. Our culture is obsessed with all the wrong things. Lesser explores a world in which we co-exist and live completely. Interesting and inspriational.
A very transformational work of great genius! September 4, 1999

This is a very comprehensive guide to spiritual transformation. Where most authors write about spirituality and exclude the body, Elizabeth brilliantly includes it as part of the spiritual puzzle of who we are--Del Millers, author, Dancing with God.
