The Seven
Whispers: Listening to the Voice of Spirit
by
Christina Baldwin,
Colleen Kelley (Illustrator)
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
The connection with our spirit is like a phone line, explains Christina
Baldwin in The Seven Whispers. "Sometimes I turn the ringer off.
Sometimes I ignore the ringing. Sometimes I pick up the phone with suspicion.
Sometimes I get impatient with the interruption." The irony, of course, is that
"unlike a lot of other calls, the one from Spirit is the one we are hoping to
receive." Baldwin (Life's Companion) excels in helping readers converse
with the divine. Here, she devotes a chapter to each of the "Seven Whispers of
spiritual commonsense":
1) Maintain peace of mind ("the cornerstone of a spiritual life")
2) Move at the pace of guidance ("rehumanize our speed of life")
3) Practice certainty of purpose ("a commitment to figuring out why we are here
and what we are going to do about it")
4) Surrender to surprise (this helps us "practice the resilience we need to
respond to whatever life offers")
5) Ask for what you need and offer what you can ("become spiritual traders of
life's energy, time and abundance")
6) Love the folks in front of you ("look for the good in people even if we don't
think it's there")
7) Return to the world (remove yourself from the simulated world and "return to
the world of the body, the senses, the world of Nature")
This is a compact book, packed with a wise woman's spiritual homilies. While no
one can make Spirit phone home more often, Seven Whispers will certainly
eliminate the static and make for a better connection. --Gail Hudson

I knew Christina when this book came out, and I could hear her gentle voice in
every phrase. I have given copies of this book to lots of people, and all
have found it both comforting and helpful. It's easy to read, and it
reminds us about what is important.
