Product Description
The Irish Times August 19, 2000- G.V. Whelan
Wish I'd had Martin Boroson's Becoming Me, a Story of Creation, illustrated by Christopher Gilvan-Cartwright, when my three-year-old asked "Is God real or pretend?" Visionary paintings and simple yet profound words present the mystical aspect of existence without the bog of religion. A beautiful book, best kept for the Big Questions, and an ideal gift for those of a spiritual bent.
Ciara Cronin, Source Magazine
"BECOMING ME is a little book that tells a very big story. Told in simple language with radiant full-colour illustrations, the book brings us on a journey through the very mystery of life itself, reminding us of our connection with the divine source of all creation. Accessible to both children and adults the simplicity of the words and pictures allows us access to the deepest realms of understanding too often shrouded behind complex theories and psycho-babble. Becoming Me is told with a tremendous open heart and with each turn of the page we stride deeper into ourselves discovering our place in the overall scheme of things and all the potential that that creates. A practitioner and lecturer in the field of transpersonal psychology, psychotherapist Martin Boroson succeeds in communicating essential spirtual truths in an easy to understand way that touches the very core of our being. The book also includes handy references for further reading by some of the current thinkers in transpersona/integral studies in the world today. A delightful and insightful book."

Format:Hardcover
This book renders the most profound theme - the extent to which each one of us is uniquely loved by the Divine - accessible to the mind of a child and to the heart of an adult. It is remarkable for its depth through pure simplicity. A person with a sensitivity to that which is greater, will find great consolation in the beauty and clarity of this work.
We received this book as a present for our child and have given it as a gift to other parents and children since. The words, and the images upon which they rest, evoke tears because their union expresses the love of the One that is in our being and becoming.

I gave this book to my favourite 6 year old, who loves it. He calls it 'the book with all the colours' and asks for it regularly for reading at bedtime, and greatly enjoys looking at the pictures - as do I, they are beautiful - and explaining the story to me. I would highly recommend it.
