THE SOUL SOLUTION: |

From the author of TO HEAL
THE EARTH comes a new Book which will inspire and challenge us to meet
the problems of our times. In THE SOUL SOLUTION, British Columbia
authors, Bob and Linda Harrington contend that our essence or seed of being
has been buried and that renunciation of the superfluous is an essential
step to the restoration of our souls. If we are to move toward a
harmony with the ALL, it will be through nurture of our inner selves, through
awakening the soul and selflessly offering love, concern and care for the
land and all the life it sustains.
Reviewers of The Soul Solution
comment….
The Harrington’s take us on a spiritual journey illuminating the importance
of the connectedness between all life forces. This life force they
refer to as a soul force. It is their belief that this soul force
is in everything: plants, animals, humans, earth, water, air and sky, and
that it is the rekindling of this soul force in that will save this planet.
This book offers a positive pathway to a future where economics and nature
become partners in achieving this solution. It is a philosophical
reflection of the author’s thoughts and beliefs with reference to the greatest
philosophers of all times. Robert Harrington received the 1990 British
Columbia Environmental Education Award.
The Harrington’s book provides a philosophical, environmental and spiritual
vision for achieving a new harmony of spirit with our planet.
This is a thoughtful discussion of humanity’s place in the scheme of
things. The author offers a gentle critique of our all-consuming
focus on material things and lack of respect for Mother Nature. Without
being preachy, this book supplies an alternative perspective to the normal
push for progress and prosperity. A sophisticated read and an inspiring
read. The message is very important and this book is worth having
in the library collection. Highly recommended for senior high school
libraries.
An eloquent plea for reverence for the environment is expressed in The
Soul Solution by Robert F. Harrington with Linda Harrington.
A moving statement.
Sophisticated titles…
“Highly Recommended….
If you are looking for some thought-provoking commentary on our world
and its ways: then read The Soul Solution,….Harrington gives
the reader searching for environmental solutions and sense, a deep-thinking
ride. The book isn't for everyone, but those with a concern for our
environment, and for mankind in general may well enjoy this offering of
The Soul Solution.
Just published in May of this year, The Soul Solution
…is an intensely personal and intimate view of ourselves, our world, our
spirituality and philosophy of being. Walking a spiritual path with
practical feet, Harrington…calls for a rededication to a theology of the
earth …. As you work through this book,… you will have been motivated
to thoughtful reflection, to personal commitment to action, and you will
come away with a renewed sense of hope for the world. What more can
one ask from a single book?
Written in a flowing style, with generous quotes to support his statements,
Harrington makes an impassioned plea for humanity:.
"Summer reading just got meaningful. … The Soul Solution
challenges and inspires readers to meet the problems of our times….The
Soul Solution aims to awaken a mystical force that will help readers
live a life closer to the creation and insights of our soul.
This book shares my own view that God is in everything, plants, animals,
earth, water, air and sky.
In this extraordinary book, Bob Harrington leads us on an absorbing
intellectual and spiritual journey. This is an inspiring book
of one man's personal testament of his relationship with life on earth.
It offers hope for a future that otherwise appears excessively bleak.
From deep in the Canadian Wilderness comes a work of exceeding vision,
and profound sympathy, understanding and compassion for our world and for
life in all its brilliance. This work illuminates a spiritual path
which all of us must choose if we are to survive.
"I have just finished reading your book, The Soul Solution,
with great admiration. I was fully impressed with the depth and width
of your insight as much as with the solid documentation of great thinkers
of past and present and East and West. There is so much to meditate
on and digest in your book! Your message is really of vital importance
to the present world. I really should like, therefore to congratulate
you for your great achievement of having published this book and wish you
to continue your noble and incalculably valuable work of reminding us of
the basic truth of our life."
"As always I marvel at your scholarship and knowledge of earlier thinkers
that gives you the enviable ability to present the wisdom of the ages to
your readers. The point is a good one that before modern technology
was interposed between humans and Earth, everyone knew from direct experience
the value of soil and water, forests and wild organisms. I found
your book useful in ways both educational and inspirational, not least
for the lyrical use of good language that the two of you command."
The Soul Solution is not light summer reading…. Its main
message is clearly environmental, but unlike the clinical doom and gloom
of the David Suzukis of the environmental movement, Harrington tries to
imbue a greater purpose than mere survival of our species.
