Love and Suffering
By: Zachary Beach - O-Books - $22.95
Overview: What do the Buddha, Jesus, Nelson Mandela, St. John of the Cross, and Victor Frankl all have in common? They all found the courage to love this world even amidst intense suffering.
Verdict: Welcome to the ultimate guide to the great gurus of life: love and suffering. In this impassioned and informative work, love activist and spiritual leader Zach Beach takes you on an enlightened journey across world religions and spiritualities to find the unifying themes behind them all.
The message is simple: If you want to know love, know suffering. If you want to know suffering, know love. The author masterfully weaves insights from his life and teachings with mystic poets, spiritual leaders, therapists, and psychologists.
Inspiring without being dogmatic, and uplifting without being cheesy, Love and Suffering will help any seeker on the path of personal and spiritual transformation.
And so, and which is dutifully observed by the author himself, if you are reading this, you are human. And if you are human, here are three truths to your existence: You ae suffering; You do not want to suffer and You want love.
Furthermore, Beach advocates for himself by saying that as a human being wanting love and not wanting to suffer, this is the book for you. Which might well be the truth, for as I myself dived into it I honest did find myself quickly enthralled by all that he has written.
For Love and Suffering: A Spiritual Guide for Helpers, Healers, and Humans shines a most glorious insightful light on our relationships with love and pain, how they co-exist within us at all times, and how through his spiritual guide we can find ourselves on a path of spiritual and personal transformation sooner rather than later.
Chock full of insightfulness that will lead to inspirational growth and a much deserved healing, we learn that to love and be loved is the deepest human need and that as a result we are most likely either looking for love, trying to keep the love we have, or trying to prevent our love from leaving.
The bad news is that love leads to suffering and suffering leads to love. But here in this book, Beach has some good news too. For recognizing this and welcoming both into our life puts us on a path to wholesomeness, fullness, and transformation.
In short, this book - one which blends Beach’s personal experiences with his knowledge of ancient literature - is a serious must have for anyone looking to recognize the above statements and know they need guidance through either spirituality or the universal truth to understand just what love really is; and how to handle, and/or accept it thereafter.
