The Red Book: A Deliciously Unorthodox Approach to Igniting Your Divine Spark by Sera J. Beak

5.0

When my mother gifted me this book and I flipped through it, I thought "Uh oh! Chick Lit meets Spiritual How-To? No thanks," and I put it aside. But then I found myself in a funk and needed a light, spiritual, female-focused pick-me-up and I picked up this book. What a sweet little gem! Sera Beak's style is very conversational, which I often find extremely annoying, but she pulls it off. She felt like a sweet girlfriend that I could respectfully tease the world with. She's got a great approach to spirituality, asking us to question and explore everything. Two of her big influences are [a:SARK|4114862|SARK|http://www.goodreads.com/images/nophoto/nophoto-F-50x66.jpg] and [a:Rob Brezsny|53037|Rob Brezsny|http://www.goodreads.com/images/nophoto/nophoto-U-50x66.jpg] and it shows - sweet, carefree and delightful, while still being extremely informative and accessible. This is most definitely a book I will be returning to again and again, when I need a little reminder not to take life too seriously and that there is divine inspiration and connection all around me - I just have to look.
