Honest and Irreverent, Humble and Inspiring

Revisado: 06-30-20

Spiritual Rebel takes us along a richly honest and sincerely irreverent approach to defining a personal spiritual identity. The cracks and the crumbles, the false starts, the tumbles and grace-filled leaps that pushed Sarah Bowen towards finding a relationship with Spirit that worked are presented with humility and humor.

Yet, this is so much more than a memoir.

It is a thorough investigation of the changing face of religious, cultural, and spiritual beliefs, culling information from formidable unbiased institutions, and individuals who responded to Sarah's queries. Her own clunk-a-chunk advances/retreats/advances/retreats eventually guide her towards her unique wholehearted spirituality. Following her along, pausing periodically to do the exercises, the meditations, visit the websites that she offers, the reader can develop a series of open ended practices. If we do as she did and pursue what she suggests, we just might step proudly into our Spiritual Rebel selves, finding the awareness we need to embrace a new Sense of Spirit, or maybe, A Spirit that Makes Sense.

I'd be remiss, though, if I didn't say that I found it difficult to discern when the second narrator, Nicole Losie, was speaking. The quality and timbre of both woman's voices was surprisingly similar. As well, because I am a visual and tactile learner, I found the need to stop the recording, take notes (even when using the Audible mark up tools) while attempting to follow the suggested exercises, etc. disruptive. Hence the 4.5 stars....
