Product Description

Review

This is a powerful book, because it is the fruit of lived experience. It is a necessary book because many people struggle with their minds in isolation, believing (as Eva did) that no one else feels the same. It is an important book because, with the authority of priesthood, Eva gives implicit permission for others to recount their stories and thereby be healed in the telling. --(Simon Small, Author of 'From the Bottom of the Pond)

Product Description

This book approaches issues of mental, emotional, physical and spiritual well being in a unique way within the Christian Tradition. It does so in an accessible and practical manner with techniques and exercises for the reader which have all been tried and tested by the author.

Format:Paperback
A truly insightful read which is both challenging and comforting to those struggling with aspects of faith or simply coping with daily life. It is both thought-provoking and beautiful, seeking to help all find the inner quietness which helps us know our strengths and weaknesses within a framework of God's love. I truly enjoyed reading about the aspects of meditation and contemplation which can help us in our busy lives, and "stilling the monkey mind" was a section that everyone should read. It is not just about faith but provides a much broader canvas for the bases of inspiration and acceptance of our inner selves in a stressful and often negative world.The language is accessible and readable, and there is nothing of the "high-flown pretentiousness" about this book that so may other theological or philosophical books can use to put off a reader. Read it and know how to like yourself!!

In A Quiet Mind, Eva McIntyre clearly demonstrates a commitment to humanity. I get the sense from reading A Quiet Mind that she slowly came to a realization that her combination of experience and research made up a highly useful toolkit that was reliably and consistently providing her with valuable assistance and that it was wealth that she really wanted to share.

She shares the usefulness of experiences and/or research in varied religions, spirituality, yoga/meditation, theatre, and importantly shared human experience. At a certain point in the book I said to myself, "Wow, she really, really, really listens to people. That is what makes this so valuable and that is also what shows how much she has already given to so many even before writing a book."

For any person (or even institution) who is interested in gaining greater self-sufficiency for him or herself on a daily basis, this book offers valuable insight into ways to think about and respond to the vagaries of life. I will even say that I consider it to be a reference book, in that I am sure that I will read it more than once looking for one or more tools.

Create a space! 7 Dec 2011

I have read many great books on theology and spirituality over the years - as indeed has Eva! However, I have also read some short books and put them quickly back on the shelf!
I am amazed that Eva has been able to pack so much of an obvious lifelong journey of knowledge and experience into so few pages. The book is a treasure trove of illuminate and so much so I hope it earns the respect it deserves as an enriching spiritual read. But I would also go so far as to say that even the non-believer would also gain form reading this most approachable book.
In essence a well written book - not by any means alienating to the non theologian. You can do a quick read of it.. I did ! but you then need to go back and reread it properly and give it the time (that you?) it deserves in undertaking the various exercises. I myself have read the big books and done the spiritual journey and all the various exercises... but welcome having it all under 'one roof'! For many this book will be a best purchase - as it does not sit on that shelf once read! Well done Eva in writing such a wonderfully accessible book. In particular I did like the colour imagery - I can't say I dream in colour!
