RISING STAR by Sarah B. Elisabeth

risinstarIf you’re looking for an in-depth read that will get you thinking about life and your role in it, well, this book is for you. The thing that I loved most about this book is that it was never harshly judgmental towards any particular faith – in fact it quoted many denominations, including my own (Mormon/LDS). It’s a bit hard to explain this book in its entirety, but if you’re wondering where we come from, our purpose here, and how to enhance our lives – this has some pretty in-depth answers. I was hesitant, at first, when reading this book because I thought it may conflict too deeply with my own personal beliefs. Instead, it complimented them well.

For those who know me, I have a bit of a fear/obsession/interest in the Simulation Theory, which states that our surroundings are simply simulated. This is something I’ve often wondered and feared, because in my mind, it meant that only I was real. It’s my biggest fear — more than death! It is such a terrifying idea, because I cared so much and love others so deeply, it would break my heart if they weren’t real. Yet this book took my fear and connected it to my beliefs in a beautiful way. It helped me in various areas of my life.

This book is within the league of The Four Agreements. It has certain ancient wisdom within it that can help you in your day to day lives – and eternal life goals. It is so much more than a self-help book! It has answers and steps that’ll help you in ways that I didn’t originally expect. Most of these books I’ve read have been cheesy or just not something I could relate to – this book is different. So check it out. Link is below!

 

I give this book a 5 out of 5 stars.
