Review
Using plain, everyday language, Long Time No See clearly illuminates the principles of A Course in Miracles as they apply to everyday life. A genuinely helpful and interesting book. Did I mention it's also funny as hell? --Gary Renard, author of The Disappearance of the Universe
We love this book! Filled with authentic Guidance, Carrie takes us on a fascinating spiritual journey; one that gently leads us away from fear and doubt. This is a 'can't put it down' book that's spiked with joyous and irreverent humor. Carrie demonstrates through her trust in following Spirit, what is possible for all of us, and how life is meant to be lived as a co-creator with God. --Nouk Sanchez and Tomas Vieira, Co-authors of Take Me to Truth
Undoing the Ego Like 'David Sedaris meets Deepak Chopra' - Long Time No See is funny and irreverent, yet delivers enormously powerful spiritual messages. A real page turner. --Chris Eann, author, Politico: The Buddhist Manifesto
This is a riveting memoir, brilliant and personal, vibrant with spiritual insight. [Carrie Triffet] is heartbreaking in her transparency and hilarious in her uncanny perspectives... Written with fresh, oddball sensibility, this is soulful self-realization at its finest --Sequoia Hamilton, editor-in-chief, Awaken Journal

Product Description
One part deeply personal memoir and two parts rip-snorting spiritual adventure, Long Time No See is a powerfully moving, occasionally profane, and often hilarious account of one person's single-minded search for enlightenment. Carrie Triffet's true-life journey takes her from reluctant orthodox Jewish beginnings into a devout twenty-year practice of Nichiren Buddhism. Intending to remain a Buddhist for life, she is wholly unprepared when a profound awakening in 2005 unexpectedly changes everything, leading her insistently into a life beyond religion. Join her on this odyssey that begins in the Midwestern US and travels to sunny Southern California by way of London, Paris, and the red rocks of Sedona, Arizona. Learn the metaphysical lessons offered by a swanky Vegas hotel room, a past life crime scene, and a ferocious lightning storm at 30,000 feet (among many others), as Carrie relays the messages of universal truth that she is given to share with us all. Long Time No See is the winner of a 2010 Independent Publisher Book Award.

Format:Paperback
A highly entertaining true story of spiritual discovery, moving beyond orthodox religion and applying the principles of A Course In Miracles into every day life. It illustrates through the real life events of the author and her direct communication with Spirit, challenging spiritual principles using ordinary language (with the occasional swear word!) in an easy to comprehend way. Told with great humour, it is often surprising, very thought provoking, and I really wanted to know what happened next!
Rather than being a spiritual 'how-to' book from one who has already achieved enlightenment, this is an account of regular person following her spiritual path and I was easily able to identify with many of the feelings and emotions she went through. This was tremendously helpful as I have found many spiritual books to be so far removed from 'my' reality that what they describe can be hard to identify with.
The book also contains The Crash Course, a concise explanation of the main principles of A Course in Miracles, again written in clear every day language. Recommended!
I got my copy of the book from the USA and for more reader reviews and author info take a look on Amazon.com

My friend gave me this book and said ''shes going to be your new best friend''! and shes right, i carry it with me everywhere and catch a chapter between jobs. I haven't even finished it before ordering one for my vocally 'unspiritual' dad. Im banking on the idea he just wants the right thing to read, not hippy, floaty esoteric stuff! And if it doesn't inspire then still a good read, This is the only book I have considered buying for him on this subject, because Carries approach is chatty, warm, self-revealing and down to earth. Her style of asking the questions you really want to ask is more likely to get past his old school 'scientific filters'. i really love this book and all her references to other reading material on the same theme. The course of miracles has revealed itself yet again. As the cover suggests, a funky, modern yet utterly credible and grounded approach to the themes of forgiveness, enlightenment and just the possibility we could achieve this peace in this life time. Bless you Carrie

Great read
Great read, hard to put down, but easy to pick where you left off, funny no holds barred, some might find disrespectful if very religious. But God is all forgiving.

Spirituality,humour and the odd profanity!
I have studied spiritual books for many years now. Some really grab you, some repeat what you already know, others, like this one, shake you to the core and you know you were... Read more
