Early acclaim for THE POWER OF NOW
"If I were allotted only one book, I would choose Eckhart Tolle's The Power of Now. Why? Because this book emanates a spirit of love, not only through its words, but in the spaces between the words. No book has touched me, nor embraced me as this one has." — Patricia Gordon, Calgary, Alberta
"This book offers us a wonderful gift, but we must have thecourage to seize it. I encourage you to accept this gift. I believe our very survival on this planet is dependent on the inner journey that Eckhart Tolle is urging us to take."
— Bill Carpenter, Businessman and Fellow Spiritual Seeker
"I found this book to be a wonderful perspective for people like me who wish to integrate the message delivered so eloquently by A Course in Miracles and DeepakChopra's Seven Spiritual Laws of Success. Every time I return to a segment of the book, I am surprised to find a new deeper meaning than the previous read."
— Jean-Pierre LeBlanc, CEO, SAJE (manufacturer and retail chain of natural health products)
"This manuscript is like a collection of 'Daily Bread' in that the gleanings of knowledge that are made available by Eckhart are in a spirituallydigestible form of question and answer. These conscious awareness triggers are a must read in this present age of truth seekers."
— David L. Jones, author of A Warrior in the Land of Disease
"The book gave me comfort and inspired me no end and gave me insight after insight regarding my own personal journey. It was a revelation and a joy to read."
— Albert Koopman, Business Executive
"I havesearched for meaning, well-being, health and life, but unfortunately I was searching outside myself. The Power of Now has shown me how to find life's elusive treasures within." — John Kuchenthal, Organizational Development Consultant
