this was an interesting book. I read it twice, and learned something new each time. I would and have recommended this books to others.

When I read the description of this book, I knew it was something I wanted to read. So, why then, did it take me so long to read it? Every time I saw it on my TBR list, I bypassed it to read something else. Repeatedly. Maybe I was afraid it would require work. Maybe I didn't like the title of the book. Maybe I was self-sabotaging. Maybe it was a combination of all of those things, and more.

What if everything you've ever been taught, or ever learned, was a lie? What if the truth was something that you intuitively knew, but had forgotten? What if you had more control over your circumstances than you realized?

I'll admit that when Nancy Lynne Harris started describing her son's glaucoma and her decision to cure him without the help of a Dr, I was skeptical. I might be willing to do that for myself, but taking a chance on the health of my child is hard to fathom. If I had already cured myself of something, it would make it easier to believe it possible, but I imagine there would be tremendous pushback from family, friends, and the medical community. What about CPS? Surely someone would contact them. I also wonder if she had more influence because of his age (9), or if he was more receptive to her help. Could it work with a teenager, or even an adult? Since she lost other family members to forces she could not control, I'm inclined to think not.

There were parts of this book where I had to stop myself from rolling my eyes because I didn't want to allow myself to be negative. I determined that there are just some things beyond my understanding at this time. The fact that I do not understand things, or have not had the opportunity to experience them, does not make these ideas fanciful or crazy. Perhaps I just need to grow, and when I have, things will make sense.

But this book review is not supposed to be about me. The question is whether I recommend it. Absolutely! But I implore any reader to keep an open mind. There is more to this world, this universe, than we understand, but lack of understanding should never be a reason to reject an idea. Allow yourself to be receptive to the ideas within the pages of this book. Do the exercises (they're really not hard). Try what the author suggests. What's the worst thing that can happen if it doesn't work for you? You certainly won't be any worse off than you were before you tried. You might even be better, and in my case, I may even begin to understand the things that were beyond my current understanding. I love myself enough to try, and I hope you do too!
