This book is a great choice for Christian spiritual directors for a directee who would like to work through a book with them. It has a good chapter near the end on spiritual direction (which directees might want to read first). The book as a whole serves as a good outline for a spiritual journey that is focused on becoming your "true self" (the person God made you to be) and leaving the "false self", with its attachments to things that separate us from God and stunt our

Convicting. Challenging. Comforting. It's dog-eared, and foot-noted and shared with others.
Where were authors like Haase when I was just starting this journey with Jesus? So much rings true, and in that brings comfort that the journey is a long one, but well worth the effort of continually coming home.
I recommend this book to all who desire to travel home to the Father, and who are desirous of helping other do the same.

Christian orientation that examines the many ways people create false selves to fill the hole in our hearts. The author believes we are born w/ the hole to allow the light of spirit to shine through us. I always appreciate a visual metaphor. The book was especially helpful to me in its description of the spiritual journey.

Not too bad of a book. I wasn't real impressed at first, but he does a good job of discussing the true and false self. Fairly easy to read.

I emjoyed this simple volume on finding your way back to God's will -- which is, indeed, where you are right at this moment.
With practical examples and simple language, Haase explains the earthly temptations we face every day, and how they separate us from the Lord, our true home, our true self. He discusses the seven deadly sins (an analysis I found particularly interesting), and shares practices to bring you back to self/God/home.
Gentle, thought-provoking, and easy to More...

Very good read to help you remember exactly what the false self is and how to stay away from it. Gives good methods on how to be aware of God in the here and now.

I am currently reading this book. It was given to me by a friend at my church. I'm loving it so far and having trouble putting it down!
