Five People You Meet In Heaven. Can't remember the author, but he wrote Tuesdays with Morrie.

Well id be suprised if you havent read it already, but the Celestine Prophecy is good. Although it is fictional there are many aspects of it which rung true and struck a chord with me.

On a non-fictional front, I have just finished reading "The Biology of Belief" by Dr Bruce Lipton.
He is a cell biologist who presents the results of his research that are very compelling indeed.
He basically says that we, and not our genes, are responsible for our health.
If you believe in the Law of attraction then this isnt really new information, but he does manage to link it with scientific experiments.
It makes for a very interesting and empowering read.

Hi Whispers,

The book Lemonelemi speaks of is by Mitch Albom, I would recommend 'In The Meantime' by Iyanla Vanzant it's about emotional honesty and spiritual/emotional growth a very uplifting book which is quite humerous and wrote more like 'chic lit' it will stay with you for a long, long time after you have read it.

Love

Hi Whispers

There was a similar thread on here not so long ago and there were quite a few recommendations (including the ones already mentioned here).

You can find them here

Please help me find a good book like the Celestine Prophecy

For me Celestine Prophecy and all the following books opened my eyes!

Love and light

I have just bought a book called spirit sisters which is about paranormal and guardian angels encounters.
I dont know if its educational or will help you spiritually grow but it does look a good read.

I've just read Embraced by the Light from Betty J Eadie and found it very uplifting......even for a wee pagan girl like myself.

I love the Spirituality of Imperfection. It just made me feel at home with myself, and emphasised the growth that lies in the self acceptance of all the things we are, without dismissing any 'messy' aspect of being human.

I also really like Pema Chodron's writing (start where you are I found a great read) & The compassionate mind by Paul Gilbert was a lesson in mature kid glove treatment and gentleness, which I found deeply spiritual.

Thanks everyone for your recommendations. I've read a few of those mentioned.
Five people you meet in heaven
Tuedays with morrie
Celestine Prophecy
Embraced by the light.

I just ordered two books by Doreen virtue. 'How to hear your angels' and 'The Lightworker's Way'. I hope they're good.

I'm going to list the books mentioned and stick them in my wish list. Conversations with God is a book I shall be getting next. Thank you.

The Lightworker's Way - excellent read! I think you'll really enjoy that one.

I've read all the Conversations with God books and just ordered the DVD too. Anyone seen it?

Then there's my all time favourite. Michael Newton's Journey of Souls. I've read that one ragged.
