Spirit Paths: The Quest for Authenticity, the program and book, have been called "life changing" by participants and readers alike. Developed in 2007, the program grew into a 6-month immersive learing experience. Visit the Spirit Paths website for information and descriptive video.
The award-winning, 5-star book includes the core content of the program. It was first printed in December 2013 and in July 2014 won the Grand Prize award of The Indie Spiritual Book Awards. It is now available in print, Kindle, and audiobook editions.
Here is one of the many glowing reviews:
"This is one of the most profound books I have read to further personal and spiritual growth. From beginning to end the tone is clear, the philosophy consistent. The reader is challenged but in a way that supports confidence. At no place did I become confused or wonder what the author meant. This book is a practical map of the psyche, one I can navigate in the moment when I fall into old emotions or ideas. The author teaches the power of words, but also the power of images - the different ways to use each. If I had only a few books at the ready to support my personal work, this would be one of them."
And the full review by the TISBA judge:
"Spirit Paths is one of the best books available regarding spiritual and personal development. Stages of the process are clearly defined and differentiated. Exercises are described in detail and are easy to follow. Each new section repeats the essence of the previous one without becoming boring or irritating. In fact, the author seems to anticipate questions just as they arise and is ready with the clarifying answer.
"The author supports and affirms the reader at every step, instills confidence yet doesn't minimize the work required or the profound life changes involved in the journey. Warnings are provided but not in a way that brings self-doubt or anxiety. Spirit Paths invites the reader into self-searching but without undermining confidence. Mr. Starnes' style is that of a personal coach that affirms and celebrates the reader's highest possibility.
"The book draws from a surprising array of traditions, yet there is no confusion about point of view or philosophy. The wisdom in the sequence of stages, the exercises chosen to deepen personal work speak of profound knowledge. In all, Spirit Paths is a brilliant guide for beginners as well as the experienced person looking to deepen spiritual and personal development."
