My husband and I were introduced to A Sacred Primer through a retreat given by Elizabeth Harper Neeld at the Cenacle in Houston Texas. The book comes alive in a very special way when this grounded, gracefilled woman shares her personal experiences of her spiritual practice as well as the experiences of historical and contemporary believers in The Divine. My husband and I are following the example of another couple who are reading the book together in an "allowable" mode. We expect to be surprised as together we read, reflect, and receive. We look forward with anticipation to other works (and retreats)from this gifted scholar.

Elizabeth Harper Neeld's book, A SACRED PRIMER is food for the soul. The book shows the author's understanding of the spiritual and the Divine. The book was filled with refreshing ideas for rejuvinating the soul and the heart. I enjoyed the commentaries at the end of the chapters and I am recommending this book to others.I look forward to more insight from this gifted writer.

Isn't the proof always in the pudding? After many other attempts over the years, Elizabeth Neeld seems to provided me with what I needed. Combining her own refreshingly real experience with a rich quotations from diverse sources and a multi-faceted format that touched much more than my intellect, I found Sacred Primer to be a fascinating read. But the most wonderful surprise has shown up in my own life -- I'm actually applying what I've read and reaping the benefits already. PS I've already given SP to many family and friends and I hear the same from them.

I am so happy I found this book. It was passed around to everyone in my grief support group.we only had 2 copies and at the time we tried to buy more we were told it was out of print.Everyone will be happy to hear they can buy there own copy now.I read every book I could get my hands on when my husband died.This book gave me the strength,hope & spirit to go on with my life

After the sudden and unexpected death of my husband, I soon had collected a grief library. This is one book that has been the most helpful to me, and continues to provide insights and support as time goes on. The experiences of the author, of others, the poetry, the invitations to confront grief head-on - this book is an excellent companion, from the darkest times to the insightful times that come with the territory.

I can honestly say that Seven Choices saved my life.
I began to dip into it when my husband died but soon found that it was my constant companion, providing solace, comfort and hope and I read it slowly and meticulously
as I passed through the long and painful grief process.
In despair it gave me comfort; it allowed me to cry and to understand my strange and seemingly irrational needs.
It taught me that I was not alone. it gave me courage to work through the long months of agony. It was always there - a friend to guide and steer me to the world beyond grief.
Eight years on - I still read it from time to time. Over the years I have personally bought ove 20 copies and always have "library copies" in my home to send to friends in need.
I read all the bereavement books I could find - this one was and still is the only one that gave me the will to continue life without my husband.
