Non-Fiction: The Way of the Simple Soul by Catherine Grace Landry Rating: 5 out of 5 fairies Review: I must admit I was completely blown away by how relatablethis book is. One of the stumbling blocks I’ve come across in some new-age spiritual books is they feel like they were written for a specific audience, and if you don’t fall in that category, the book doesn’t help you. Landry writes as though she is sitting down and talking to a friend over a cup of coffee, making this exceptionally accessible for people from all walks of life and levels of enlightenment. The soul isn’t something that often concerns us in everyday life. There are so many other pressures vying for our attention, that the spirit is often left behind. Our soul makes us whole and losing it can have negative consequences for us and how we interact with our environment. Landry’s quest to find her soul began in a simple way – at the bedside of a dying man, who left her with important words of wisdom before he crossed beyond this world. Reading her story of how those few words sparked a spirit journey is inspiring. Searching for one’s soul takes dedication and a desire to reunite with your higher self. While unfolding the story of her quest for her soul, Landry touches on some important points. First, the visions and dreams. The ones that let her see her soul and other beings that do not have mortal forms. Her imagery is transcendental, making the reader feel as if they are seeing everything through her eyes. On a personal note, I felt a deep, instinctual connection to Landry while reading this book. It was strange at first, but it was as if my soul was reaching for hers. Although I had never read this before, it was as if I already understood the path we followed. At the end I felt as if I had a deeper understanding of my soul and the universe, as well as clear way forward. I highly recommend this book for anyone. No matter your beliefs or the road you currently travel through in this life, Landry’s story has something for you. There is a universal truth woven into her words that speaks to your innermost heart. A must-read for everyone who is looking for a higher meaning in this life.
