Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Delivers on the promise of its title
What a pleasure it is as a reader to find a book that opens a window on a person's heartfelt search for wisdom and spirituality. The lessons in this book are sometimes difficult, but the author always renders them with grace, giving equal value to both the struggle and the reward. Too often, we take the message of works like this for granted. With energy and intelligence, Ms. Long gives us poetry that helps us to rediscover what a 'life well lived' can be. I highly recommend it.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A book offering spiritual comfort, faith and hope.
SPIRIT QUICKENING is truly a spiritual comfort. Long's writing really touches the reader and offers a message of faith and hope. This is a book to be read again and again. It really makes you aware of God's power and presence. What a gift to have this version of THE IMITATION OF CHRIST in words one can understand.
