4.0 out of 5 stars
Wise words and stories for a jaded generation, 27 July 2001
This review is from: The Sacred Journey: Reflections on a Life Wholly Lived (Hardcover)
24 nuggets of truth, wrapped up in stories and personal experience: spirituality for those who go tired and forgot what their journey was all about. It's a cold shower. It's a celebration of doubt, disappointment and death (or rather, what lies beyond it). It uncovers the pretence and looks for, what one person once called, 'the bad skin beneath the make-up'. This book does not give 'easy answers', nor does not promise cheap grace, but it does provides hope and courage for those who want to keep on journeying with God. It covers relationships, patience, pain and regret, and rediscovering love... If you feel jaded, cynical, world-weary, tired of yourself, then regard Sacred Journey as a kind of wake-up call to new possibilities. As Riddell himself puts it, "we are following the greatest path of all - the pilgrimage of the soul."

everyday mid-life crisis guidance is all here., 28 Dec 2001
This review is from: The Sacred Journey: Reflections on a Life Wholly Lived (Hardcover)
Every once in a while I get to lose track of where I'm going, and to be honest I can't say that I ever get back on anything like a "right" track again. But here in Mike's book are good thoughts on what's important in life, good thoughts on what we should think about when making choices. It's easy to read. It's a thought provoking book instead of an instruction book and it's written by a man who has been there and done it, so to speak.
