Big Miracles: The 11 Spiritual Rules for Ultimate Success

Joanna Garzilli. HarperElixir, $26.99 (304p) ISBN 978-0-06-245698-4

In her enthusiastic book, Garzilli, who bills herself as “America’s Intuition Coach,” helps readers remember the love, power, and strength of the soul, and provides uncomplicated rules that will help readers achieve success in leading a spiritual life. To begin, Garzilli explains that humans are first and foremost spiritual creatures, that the highest achievable goal is to align with spirit, and that fear, greed, and envy are common reasons for a misalignment. To overcome spiritual misalignment, she writes, requires centering, grounding, and connecting with Spirit—however that manifests for readers individually. In rule four, she advises readers to “forgive mistakes,” explores the mindset that leads to error, and then offers questions to help in releasing mistakes without judgment. She also tells readers that expressing gratitude for everyday miracles—“a meal is a miracle”; “home is a miracle”—opens up everyday experiences that will lead to more, greater miracles; in several other sections she conflates spiritual alignment with material success. This practical, cursory guide contains a comprehensive strategy for tapping into spirituality. [em](Feb.) [/em]
