very good read
i've owned the book for a couple years and never was able to dive into it. But I picked it back up recently and it finally made sense...i really like the guidance offered by this book...more growth expected for me on the horizon :o)

The Spirituality of Imperfection
This is a special book.I bought a second one so I would not have to lend out my original copy.Good soul reading.

Best Book on Spirituality, ever written.....
The best book I have ever read on the subject of spirituality. This is the gold standard for learning how to really accept onesself and understand the relationship between the quest for perfection and the inherent imperfection of being a human being.
On a scale of 1 to 10 this is a 12! The very best ever! Incredible!

Not as impressed as others
I was excited about the book through the first hundred pages or so, then it quickly dissipated.There are some great nuggets of wisdom and great insight strewn throughout the book, but they could have been conveyed much more succinctly.The authors overdid the whole storytelling bit.

Life changing! Invites your spirituality to be alive & yours
I found Spirituality of Imperfection to be an incredibly insight-provoking book. I enjoyed it very much even though I am not an alcoholic or addict & I'm not really that familiar with AA at all.

In fact, I would often read a few pages or even just a paragraph / story and then just 'sit with it' and allow the meaning to slowly show itself.I believe the people who rated this book poorly wanted a book that just laid out the 'answers to life' in simple, concise manner - & I definitely agree, that is not what this book offers. But it offers something MUCH greater in value... an invitation to think deeply and allow your spirituality to come alive.

Enjoy and be inspired!

I just remember that he said it must come from somewhere in the nose, something related to the olfactory senses. I always thought that wa snot a very glamourous way to look at an exciting, epic sweep of fantasy. But after all, magic has to come from somewhere. ... Read more
