This is a book that opens a window into your heart and which delves down into the very depths of ones soul, exploring what we know of ourselves through the eyes of other people thus handing us a mirror to look into.
It helps the reader to explore who they are as an individual by understanding ultimately what it means to be human, by what makes us unique, distinctive and most singular as human beings. By letting go you are able to be honest with yourself and through courage find out much more than you would have thought possible, which will shock you, surprise you and touch your heart.
This by far has to be one of the most truth-drawing books that I have ever encountered, where the author reaches out to you with her brave humanity as a poet and lover with such skin-and-bone honesty, that I found to be most personal.
You are nourished by all the wisdom that she carries as you begin to learn so much about life and yourself in it, with such vision that gives light to the darkness. I found myself re-evaluating my actions and thoughts on life and on myself, which led to the most life changing consequences that all took place because of a decision that I had made since reading this remarkable book, hence I now certainly hope to be as proactive as I possibly can be.
I was touched by how much of herself the author puts within her work, so as to give it more meaning and depth of feeling. Self discovery is the most challenging subject matter to discuss as an author and writer but also to read, and to those who take the first few steps to reading this will undoubtedly be greatly rewarded and will find much enjoyment as well from such breathtaking writing.
This is a book that will find a special place within your heart. View 1 comment. May 04, Lisa P. I loved this book. Lots of little truths jumped out at me and the synchronicities I saw between Oriah's life and my own were uncanny.

The Call did not disappoint the second time around, and, in fact, seems to get better. There are so many insights that I decided to write them in my journal in hopes of retaining the message s. More than anything, the book holds space for liminality while we're in between moving through the physical reality and the reality that the Divine calls us to be. Oct 13, Tiffany rated it liked it.
I am not sure what kept me to the end of the book. I have not walked away with any piece of vital information, but rather, a giant shrug with my hands up looking at the expansive sky. She is an interesting person to listen to, but not edifying other than by trying very hard, herself, to do life differently and see things differently with God leading the way, so inspiring at least.
Apr 26, Devika Koppikar rated it did not like it. I was not that impressed with this book. The first two chapters seemed to be about the author going on a retreat and putting herself at the brink of starvation and exhaustion. I did not finish it.
