Synopsis

More than twenty years after the publication of LOVE IS LETTING GO OF FEAR, best-selling author Gerald Jampolsky brings us the highly anticipated sequel. In SHORTCUTS TO GOD, Dr. Jampolsky sheds light on the human longing to be closer to the mystical parts of our lives, and teaches us to abandon our fears and embrace honesty, forgiveness, and love. When asked why the sequel has been so long in coming, Dr. Jampolsky explained that learning about love can be a lifelong expedition—one that has continuous cycles of hardship, fulfillment, and revelation, each of which builds on the past to shape the self. Fortunately for the rest of us, Dr. Jampolsky has emerged from his own spiritual journey much the wiser, and ready to share the insights and revelations he’s gleaned along the way. SHORTCUTS TO GOD will jump-start your journey to love and spirituality, whether you’re just starting down the path or well on your way to enlightenment.

About this title

Review:

With its cartoon cover and simple-sounding title, one might expect this to be a superficial self-help book that cashes in on the growing interest in spiritual growth. Fortunately, author Gerald Jampolsky has far more personal integrity than that. It's clear from his thoughtful writing that he wants to offer a substantial and loving book on developing a direct relationship with God. Unfortunately, though, the abundance of overly cheerful cartoon illustrations and double exclamation marks make this look like a book that's been dumbed-down to be more accessible. Rather than inviting readers into Jampolsky's 18 excellent lessons for personal transformation, the child-like format creates a distraction. Nonetheless, the shortcuts are helpful, offering uncomplicated ways to find intimacy with spirit. Overall this is a wise and wonderful lesson book. --Gail Hudson
