PRAISE FOR OTHER ENLIGHTENING WORKS BY
DAVID SPANGLER...
DAVID SPANGLER...
Parent as Mystic, Mystic as Parent
This book isnt your typical parenting guide.... Spanglers notion of mysticism... is firmly based in the concrete, with an awareness of the spiritual in everything.... Spangler notes the importance not only of providing a lap and a listening ear but also of recognizing the blessedness in the everyday tasks of parenting.... Readers will enjoy this cross between practical parenting and spiritualism.
Booklist
In this wonderful book... [Spangler] shows how, through the everyday challenges and joys of parenting, of creating and sustaining family, we are given the opportunity to participate in the deeper mystery: the incarnation and emergence of our childrens spirits and personalities.
Seattle New Times
The gentle mystical approach [Spangler] offers is sound, because it is rooted in the understanding that while we may all ultimately be One, we are also inescapably separate, with our loving attention the most priceless gift we can give to another.
Publishers Weekly
The Call
What a pleasure to read David Spanglers book.... His words are full of heart, wisdom, sensitivity, and discernment.

Ellen Burstyn, actor
Tightly and beautifully crafted... Buy the book, and take a very cumbersome load of anxiety off your shoulders.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
This book would not exist were it not for the people who became part of my blessing classes, allowing themselves to be my guinea pigs in order to try out this material. Each of you gave a great deal of yourself to explore the possibilities and techniques of blessing. You folks, and you know who you are, are truly a blessing. Thank you all.
I want to offer a special acknowledgment and debt of gratitude to Barbara Finn, who generously transcribed all the tapes from these classes, deciphering nearly inaudible questions and responses recorded under less than professional circumstances and giving up a significant amount of her free time to do so. The resulting transcript proved an invaluable resource for me, particularly in creating the workbook. She made my job very much easier. Thank you, Barbara!
As always, I want to thank my fabulous editor, Wendy Carlton, who transformed the straw of my manuscript into the gold of this book, and my wonderful publisher, Susan Petersen Kennedy, for her continuing support and encouragement. As a writer I feel very blessed by both of you. I also want to thank Venetia van Kuffeler, Wendys most capable and friendly assistant, for being there for me to answer questions and generally being helpful when Wendy was not available.
This book would not be anywhere near as nice to hold and read were it not for Lisa Amoroso who designed the cover, and Claire Vaccaro and Chris Welch, who are responsible for the layout and overall look of this edition. Thank you. You provide the setting that allows my words to shine. None of these fine people, however, would ever have worked on this book had it not been for my agent, Ned Leavitt, who is both friend and adviser in the intricate world of publishing. Thank you again, Ned!
