Rating:  Summary: Peace To All Beings Review: From Doug Peschka, an activist who has been very blessed and fortunate to have worked with this author:Imagine yourself at a campfire, surrounded by Jesus, Gandhi, Thomas Edison, John Denver, Albert Schweitzer, Albert Einstein, Mother Teresa, and Rachael Carson, just to name a few. All of these famous compassionate people are talking about how love and peace on earth begins with how human beings treat animals. This story of a dream circle of friends around a campfire begins Judy Carman's book "Peace To All Beings: Veggie Soup for the Chicken's Soul". We find each of these famous and very compassionate souls sharing their vision of a world of humans and animals in total harmony with each other and with nature. In "Peace To All Beings", Judy explains to us how the world peace that everyone desires must begin with our relationship with all animals. This gentle and uplifting book that fills the reader with hope, even in these times when a America's Government acts as if perpetual war could solve all problems, and also acts as if the erosion of American freedoms to make a difference is in our best interest. Here, Judy tells us that, in spite of every violent thing happening in the world, the next step in human evolution must be the taking of the steps from "Homo Sapien" to "Homo Ahimsa". "Ahimsa" is the Sanskrit word meaning "No Harm." Get to know that word. You will encounter it a lot here. Ahimsa is the vehicle that takes the reader into the sorrow of the suffering of animals in factory farms, slaughterhouses, fur farms, circuses and rodeos, and other places and ways in which animals suffer at the hands of humans. But Ahimsa also takes you into the joy of communicating with animals peacefully, and what it means to open our hearts as well as our minds, and allow them to teach us. This relationship with animals becomes like a song. I can tell you that this author not only talks about peace - she radiates it. Her wonderful book is an expression of that radiant inner peace that is her gift to us all. All you have to do, as you open this wonderful book, is to let it in,...
Rating:  Summary: Perfect companion to Judy's "Born To Be Blessed" Review: From Doug Peschka: "Peace To All Beings" is an extension of a spiritual odyssey that Judy began in her first book "Born To Be Blessed: Seven Keys To Joyful Living". It should be noted that, while I do not normally subscribe to the teachings and writings of "A Course In Miracles" which forms a part of the basis for "Born To Be Blessed", for me it is Judy's unique interpretations of it and all other sources that make her writings in both books work so well for me. As with Judy Carman's special gift of being able to make you feel like you are the most important person in the world when having a conversation with her, she also has a highly unique gift for being able to touch something deep in every belief all at the same time. Judy has a very gentle healing and uniting spirit, and it serves her work on behalf of animals very well indeed. In this activist's humble opinion, the message of "Peace To All Beings" and of the author herself, by her very compassionate and caring example each day, points in the way that the entire Animal Rights movement can and should evolve next. Religions teach us that without Love, all good works are only noise. The same holds true for the Animal Rights movement. With Love, together, we can make a world of difference for all animals. All persons. All Beings. That is the most important thing I have learned from reading Peace To All Beings, and also personally from it's author. Get to know Judy Carman through her books. You'll never regret it!
