Book Review: If You Know Who You Are, You will Know What To Do.


A TIMELY LOOK AT THE IMPORTANCE OF INTEGRITY


by Ronald J. Greer

Brick by brick, Ronald Greer lays the foundation for living with integrity in his book, If You Know Who You Are, You Will Know What To Do. He takes the question so often asked in our culture, ‘What am I to do?’, and underscores it with the ancient question, ‘who am I?’. Then he opens the doorway to discovering the answers to both, first by identifying who we are by our values, and our essential nature of being. He invites us each to look within to discover those values that are already rooted in ourselves. Then he walks us through examples of how these values determine decisions and directions that effect us in our lives. At the end of the book he presents some basic values that he holds and are common to us all and investigates them one by one. He wraps it all up with the theme and practice that is interwoven throughout the book, as we remember who we are, we know what to do. The whole book brings us home to realizing and remembering what already lives in us.

Book Review: The Path to Wealth

SEVEN SPIRITUAL STEPS
FOR FINANCIAL ABUNDANCE

by May McCarthy

“For the things we have to learn before we can do them, we learn by doing them; one becomes a builder by building and a lyre player by playing the lyre.”  With these words by the great philosopher, Aristotle, May McCarthy opens her book The Path to Wealth. Chapter by chapter, she teaches us effective steps to realizing success and abundance in our lives. And she does it as the builder learns building, and the lyre player learns to play the lyre: brick by brick and note by note. With her clear directions, and empowering examples, she invites us into our own practice. We too can learn to have a fuller, more enriching life. This is our teaching in easy to understand language and in gentle directions and assignments that step by step lead to our greater next to be.
