I just finished ready your astonishing book. Several times, tears of joy welled up in my eyes. It is so truthful and sincere, so vibrant with spiritual nuances!

I'm sure it will become a classic in autobiographical mysticism. It describes, as far as words can go and with rare luminosity, what does it mean to "be" enlightened.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for your beautiful book. Thank you for helping me see the ways my mind escapes truth. Thank you for reminding me to stay true to love, to Truth, to Self. Thank you for making me see that I can't settle with a kind of half-baked enlightenment. Thank you for blazing the fire of Satsang in this life.

Thank you for your book. I did not want it to end. You write so clearly, in such detail and with such an open heart. Your journey to your own Self is so beautifully described. The richness of life "beyond the person" is laid out like a beautiful tapestry. You have inspired me on my own journey. Thank you with heart-felt gratitude.

How deeply touched I am by your sensitive portrayal of Gangaji and your own journey towards freedom. Thanks to your writing, I experienced her teaching in a whole new way, even after countless hours of hearing her over the years. The way you highlighted her words and added your own commentary gave her teachings a whole new import for me. Somehow you have managed to write about what is impossible to write. Such a blessing for all.

Thank you for writing and for living your beautiful book. I did not want it to end. I thought you did an excellent job of transmitting not only your own (powerful) story of awakening, but also Truth itself. A beautiful book. Thank you.

I stayed up until four this morning to read Surprised By Grace, weeping most of the time. It is the most beautiful poem of love I have ever read. It is the Truth of the Guru-disciple relationship. How exquisitely she describes her profound transformation by Grace. What a gift and lesson for me--so much I will reread the poem many times.

I just wanted to commend you on and thank you for the beautiful, naked book you wrote. I was deeply moved by your account and in many ways relieved to hear elements of my own process so intimately expressed.

- K. S., Santa Cruz, CA -

Thank you, thank you! What a joy to read--compelling and heart-opening.

I just finished reading your book and have no words for how deeply it touched me. I was at the Frankfurt book fair today and just sat motionless on my chair for about an hour, the truth becoming more and more clear. I thank you from all my heart.

- G. V., Bad Homburg, Germany -

I have just finished reading Surprised By Grace and am writing to thank you for this wonderful book which has spoken to me so directly and often moved me to tears. If I was not a continent away I would have immediately come in search of you and Gangaji, but as you so often point out this and all other separations are mere illusions and what I have waited so long for is not "out there" but abides within. . .

My friend lent me your book, Surprised By Grace. She told me she couldn't put it down and I had exactly the same reaction: I devoured it! In a busy week, I read the whole thing in about five days and now I can't wait until my own copy arrives so I can read it again more slowly. It was exactly like being in Satsang.

- V. D., Ticino, Switzerland -

I was moved to tears reading your book: tears of joy, tears of healing. I felt all you felt--got angry when you did, fearful when you did, and died with you. Thank you for sharing your gift.

- R. D., Orlando, FL-

I could hardly put it down. What I really liked is its freshness, its vulnerability, and open Heart, that is so obvious to the reader. This reader felt that he was in your Heart throughout the pages.

- B. E., San Francisco, CA -

I had intended to put aside your book for future reading. But I thought I'd read one chapter, and as soon as I did I got hooked and had to finish it. Reading your book was very much like being in Satsang. Genuineness shone through every page Thank you for your honesty.

- P. B., Fitchburg, MA -

I wanted to tell you how present you have been with me since I got your book in June. I go back to it again and again and it is a great source of comfort, inspiration, and wisdom for me. Thank you for sharing your journey on such an intimate and honest level.

- M. V., Montreal, Canada -

A friend loaned me your book and it was deeply inspiring. Your narrative touched me very deeply. I can't even describe the effect it had on me. Deep relaxation is all I can think of.

- D.K., Fairfield, IA -

I devoured your book. So close, so beautiful. What a gift!

- R. , Mendocino, CA -

Am part-way through Surprised By Grace and almost can't put it down. I'm truly delighted by the direct, straightforward way that your spiritual quest is depicted. It gives expression to what so many of us must feel who have devotedly strived for two decades to live simply as AWAKENED BEINGS.

- L.G., Connecticut -

I enjoyed your book, Surprised By Grace. You have a way of writing so that the reader looks forward to the next sentence.
