Dance of a Fallen Monk : A Journey to Spiritual Enlightenment

Rating:
Summary: A life-changing book that encourages everyone on the path
Review: George Fowler's courageous expose of his spiritual journeywas hard to put down. His honesty about himself and his experiences along the path gives permission and encouragement to become authentic even at the risk of offending authoritiy figures, family and friends. He makes it clear we are all blessed with an inner guide, the voice of the soul, which isn't to be denied. Great job!!!

Summary: Exceeded expectations
Review: I read this book, expecting to learn about life in a monastery and the struggles associated with it. That was surely there, but the author then proceeded to take me on a journey I didn't expect... into an exploration of the comparative validity of all religions. I found the book to be interesting, mind-expanding and challenging.

Summary: A beautiful reflection that speaks to us "seekers".
Review: I was captivated by Fowler's openness and candor. His comments and insights into the established order of two of Christianity's denominations makes one re-assess the denomination's intended and marketed goals. "Spirit" comes from the Greek word meaning "to breathe". This is a breath of fresh air from one who learned to enjoy the intended all along, the divinity of human life itself!

Summary: An Engaging Read, But A Dubious Guru
Review: Mr. Fowler has written an engaging autobiography. I found myself completely absorbed in it as a read it. But he wants to go beyond giving the reading public a interesting slice of life. He wants to be our guru, to enlighten us as what true spirituality is. I think one can reasonably question whether the spirituality that that the author has adopted in the latter part of his book (in place of the spirituality he practiced as a monk in the earlier part of the book) represents an advance or just another attempt of an emotionally disturbed man to cope in the world.

Summary: Universal Truth!!
Review: Seldom are we treated to such richness and honesty of one seeking his own truth. His quiet courage to continually grow, question, and evolve mentors myself. He arrives at knowing and feeling the Oneness of us all. No judgment, just more and more love.
