Details: Two thousand years after the rabbi Jesus of Nazareth walked the earth and forever impacted it, people have been debating the central message of this powerful being. In "Love Without Conditions" one rediscovers the power of the message for which Jesus lost his life, love is the way. Challenging all who encounter this book to let go of the ego that promotes superiority and division, you will discover the power of self as a being grounded in love. |

Details: I underlined almost the whole book. I found, while reading this book that I was better able to see myself and others in a much more equal, forgiving way.
I need to re-read it. I highly recommend it!

Review Summary: The Word behind the words... but mostly silence shines. |

Details: I have this book with me often when I go out, even if I don't open it, and I have this book often by my bed. The glance of the man on the book (forget the name Jesus) is the pervading silence throughout the book that bubbles up everywhere like a frangrant garden.
Some of the staple books I have as my "companion" are Gandhi's The Way to God, and also Gandhi's Essnential Writings edited by John Dear, the Dalai Lama's "How to Practice- the Way to a Meaningful Life", Adyashanti's the Impact of Awakening, Khalil Gibran's Beloved and Devotional Songs of Mirabai. Anything by Rumi or Hafiz, bring them on.
You haven't met Jesus. You are always meeting him. There wasn't a time when you and Him were apart. I'm not Christian, as you can tell from the kinds of books that daily nourish my soul. He is you, closer to anything you can ever name. I have had "traumas", "disasters" in the ways of love and relationships, and many tears were shed over these pages that were "casually opened" for emergency consultations, let's say. It's like Medicine Cards, Bach Rescue Remedy, only more profound.
For one sentence out of the page you open up may be the cup of medicine drink so bitter and yet so sweet and vibrant in its afterglow. And it seems as though it was meant only for you at that particular time. That perhaps there is nothing except you and Jesus everywhere and always. If I find myself avoiding this book in the car or in my house...that probably means I'm onto something "weird", "no good","out of habit", who knows!!
I recommend this book as a gift to anyone who perhaps wants to see Jesus in a totally different light.. in places it sounds more perenial stuff, vedantic at times. Some would think it's just sane, no-nonsense psychology, which the American Buddhist psychologists are gleaming from Zen and Tibetan Buddhism, etc. The historical Jesus takes a backseat, redemption and sin go out the door. There is no story. Jesus goes, "Forget 'bout it!" in New York Little Italy accent. Well not really.
So take a flight. |

Details: Love Without Conditions is by far the most important book I have read this life time. It is a totally life changing experience and assists
anyone who reads it in grasping the joy of a God of Unconditional Love.
I have recommended this book to literarlly hundreds of people who have
all had the same experience. I read it over and over again.
