GoodBookStall Review:
Carrington-Smith’s worldview is a challenging mystical mix of devout Catholic, voodoo priestess, Italian witchcraft, and from her paternal grandmother a Christian healer. (Go figure that!!?) This is inspirational eclectic self-help, meets spirituality navigating our culture of chaos in the hazy pursuit of a life of balance. As in it’s subtitle: A Practical Guide to Restoring Your Inner Sanctuary, well intended and inspirational, it may be….. but there is no link to the Triune God! The author applies the 'housekeeping' metaphor well, reminding us all that reducing chaos and restoring order at the deepest level is key to creating a peaceful and fulfilling existence for ourselves. Through her life and her work, as delivered in this first book, Sandra has developed a consistent message: A shift in perspective can drastically alter one's perception of reality. It is her mission to offer people ways to see the world differently, gently guiding them toward self-discovery and personal healing, the reader is encouraged to create a more fulfilling, more joyful reality. This is strongly ‘body, mind and spirit’ material, yet is all the way short of orthodox Christianity in any part.
