from
Reviews of Surprised By Grace
Terrell's
journey illuminates the way that relationships between master
and student can develop. . . Terrell's own description of
her passages through the stages of spiritual development
are crystalline gems.

Terrell's
tale stands out as significant, in that she details step-by-step
how her awakening was realized, as well as the consequences
of that enlightenment. . . [I]t is one of the few books
that concentrates on what one does when one's quest is done,
and does so beautifully.

Of
all the spiritual paths, the relationship between guru and
disciple may be the most mysterious. While there are writings
by or about various gurus, none really have described the
relationship itself. But in Surprised By Grace, disciple
Amber Terrell describes her thoughts, feelings, and experiences
during her relationship with guru Gangaji.
The
vivid descriptions of the physical, mental, and emotional
upheavals triggered by Terrell's encounters with Gangaji
are fascinating. This honest presentation may help dispel
some readers' misconceptions about this kind of relationship.
. . Terrell shows that, in spite of spiritual practice,
it took the right teacher to point out the ego blocks that
kept her from enlightenment.
This
book proves to be moving and inspiring. Gangaji or gurus
in general are not "sold"--rather, readers will feel moved
to work more closely with their own spirit. Terrell is an
intelligent and accomplished writer, her style open and
sharing. Surprised By Grace is for anyone searching
for a spiritual path, seeking inspiration, or interested
in gurus.
