By Michael Conneely
BOOK REVIEW
- by Pauline Stephenson of The Book Case, Hebden Bridge
Michael Conneely writes in a way that is not just informative but also very intimate. It is like having a conversation with a far-travelled and experienced friend who is introducing you to a landscape he knows well. The reader is left in no doubt of Michael's own views on the ten paths to New Spirituality that he describes so competently. This is quite unusual as so often in books there is no way of knowing exactly what is based on the writer’s own experience and what has been cut and pasted from other sources. However, in this very interesting book there is no doubt that the opinions are first-hand and authentic.
The often complex and diverse paths to spiritual awareness are described very clearly and in a language that is easy to understand. A complete novice would be well guided as to what their first steps might be (including possibly taking one of Michael's own courses) and someone who already knows something of the subject is likely to find some of their existing views expanded or challenged in the light of Michael's considerable research and experience. |
