Review Quotes

Pause Now: Handbook for A Spiritual Revolution is a spirituality book that encourages readers to find time in life to stop and become more aware of everything around them. Pause Now is a strong pick for spirituality collections.

"Folding in Celtic crosses, indigenous spirituality, Buddhism, Ralph Waldo Emerson and the Transcendentalists, and St. John the Divine cathedral in Manhattan, Yastion argues convincingly that there is some consensus across cultures and traditions on what constitutes sacred space. Could there be a universal truth about such places--and if so, what is it?"


[A] very helpful, well-illustrated guide to individual practice....Excellent book....Recommended.

It is hard to find the right metaphor to describe this book, for it is so full of metaphors, but here is my best shot: I felt like a hummingbird in an endless meadow of flowers. I was nourished, yet did not want to depart with anything unsampled. If there is a 21st century guide to the mystical journey, this is it.

This is a beautifully written invitation to awaken readers to the depth of their spiritual nature. Rich with the wisdom of greatly diverse religious and secular sources, this book is full of verbal treasures guaranteed to inspire and encourage the reader along the spiritual path.
