After reading this, I KNOW I fit into this category. Loved everything about this book. Connected to it all. The Harry Potter Sacred Texts (which I learned about in this book; and it is a super cool podcast that I now follow), Star Wars; the Force is now with me; Yoda, Princess Leia, Carrie Fisher, Katness Everdeen, and mythical unicorns. 🌟 Stardust, the Maker of 🌳 Trees. Sheep 🐑. So many pointers, as Sarah, refers to them in this book.

There is a myriad of books on the market to help people find their way through this tricky world. It could take a lifetime to simply find the ones that might apply to your exact situation. The author here has done the leg work for you. Through her incredibly well written journey, she has tried and tasted most every kind of spiritual way that exists.
The key here is not to follow her way in exactitude. The journey to your own level of preferred spiritual awareness is an incredibly personal one. ...more

I received a free copy of this book from Book Sirens in exchange for a review.
Spiritual Rebel is a wonderful read for anyone who struggles with organized religion and wants to carve their own spiritual path. The book is broken down down into a 21 day journey with a daily theme, a couple of exercises to complete that are associated with the theme, some rebellious variations for the exercises if you don't like being told what to do (LOL), and suggestions (books to read, websites to visit, podcasts ...more

I finished the book this evening and I wish I knew other people to discuss it with. It would be a great read for a spiritual or religious book club as it leaves great questions up for debate/discussion. It touches into many areas of ones faith and unapologetically lets the reader decide what they would buy into. I will be going back through the “workbook” portion to delve deeper. Overall, definitely worth some time and thought!

I read this book with a friend and it was a beauty. I love how open handed this book is, offering permission granted curiosity to search and study and form your own sacred thoughts and beliefs. My favorite thing about this book? All the prompts and reading material/podcast/documentaries suggested in each section. Can’t wait to dive deeper into many of those.

"Spiritual, but not religious" has become a stock phrase that defines a younger generation that rejects institutional religion, but still wants to believe in something larger than themselves. But what does that actually mean in practice? What do you do if you consider yourself skeptical, yet longing for more?

This book is so much fun! Author Sarah Bowen describes her spirituality as “often fluorescent orange with a thumping bass beat.” If you’re still searching for a spiritual practice that feels authentic to you, this book is filled with thought-provoking stories and quotations, fun practices, and lots of resources for further exploration, all written in a friendly and often humorous style. I made avid use of my highlighter while reading this book.

I don't pick up a lot of self help books - I just don't - but, this book caught my eye. It was maybe just the adorable UniSheep, but I'm glad I read Ms. Bowen's book!

This book took my confusion over spirituality and brought my beliefs into the light. I am not a one religion, or spiritual practice fits all my needs kinda gal. This book made me realize that it's ok, to take elements from different beliefs, put them together and have a spiritual practice that makes sense to me. This book will open your eyes to new possibilities.

A thoughtful and humorous resource for tapping into great perspective, your true calling, spirituality, oneness with all beings, or whatever seems to be missing from your life. I will be referring back to it often in order to try reading some of the suggested texts and to also help me stay mindful in my journey to connect with this immense universe.

Promising start but then it turned into just another "do this on Monday, do this on Tuesday,..." and that was the end of it for me.
