[@lucindaadelgren490]

Oh, My! I wish I could describe how this affected me. I came across the book very early in Life. I believe I was in.my early 20s. I have my favorite chapters of course , so thru the years I traveled up & down those familiars. I AM currently without my own copy of the book. I've had plenty however this book is one to pass. I feel as if I went home and met myself once more. I AM with 60plus years and AM still growing and learning but I must say the more I soul search who I AM & ehere do I go from here...I find I AM who I have ALWAYS been. This book molded me so. As did others. Such a calm spread thru me A safety of sorts. 'YOU WILL KNOW THE TRUTH BY THE WAY IT FEELS' I KNEW IMMEDIATELY THIS BOOK WAS MY TRUTH! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! The soul reading to us is as perfect fit. Well done. These words! That word quiver! Just heard it again! 'Quivering on your tenderest branches...' sigh. I needed this connection, in these times. I often say, 'KZbin knows me better than any human being' wdll how Blessed AM I that this was offered up to me only 4 months since made available! ONE LOVE

I was a young book obsessed 21 year old. I'd already read all the Dune books and loads of the Culture books, after reading Neverness by David Zindell I read The Broken God. That book is like a refection of my spiritual journey and it's troubles and triumphs. The whole Trilogy is really something very special and I'd encourage everyone to read it. Start with Neverness then hit the Brocken God and the whole Requiem for Homo Sapiens. Best sequence ever. Luv and Peace.
