This is the review of the fourth chapter of the book I Was a Pagan by V. C. Kitchen! An intriguing chapter about the authors attempt at developing a process to grow spiritually! It is incredible to see his growth through this process and how his ideas are forming.

This books illustrates the lesson of growth through failure in the beginning of this book! I relate to it for sure!

This is the chapter reading of V. C. Kitchen's book I Was a Pagan titled This Business of "Making Character," with the subtitle of Science.

In this chapter we start to attempt to lay down a plan for action, and find that working out the kinks through science isn't always the best option for spiritual growth!

Lots of references for those in 12 Step recovery!

Another great chapter of someone trying to find a way forward after his best efforts failing. Finding that morality and growth of moral qualities is the way a soul is grown. Follow along as I give my experience and comments on this part of the journey with V. C. Kitchen.

Looking forward to learning how to find spiritual growth and moral application!

This is the chapter reading of V. C. Kitchen's book I Was a Pagan titled This Business of Meaning Well and Doing Badly, with the subtitle of Morals.

This chapter is where he begins to set the stage for the "growing the soul" purpose he realized in the last chapter!

It is incredible how this book applies to today just as thoroughly as it did 100 years ago!

Here is the review of the next chapter! This chapter is fantastic about pointing out where so many get stuck. Knowledge is great as far as knowledge goes but to change your life you need more than that!

Fantastic reading about faith without works!

This is the chapter reading of V. C. Kitchen's book I Was a Pagan titled This Business of Thinking Things Out, with the subtitle of Philosophy.

This chapter is about understanding the purpose of life, and then coming to the realization that understanding and self-knowledge is not enough!

A great read and gives some understanding of this world today!

This is the review of the first chapter of V. C. Kitchen's book I Was a Pagan. The chapter is titled This Business of Chasing False Gods, and it is a chapter about the pursuit of selfish and self-centered desires and the results that come from them!

Great start to the book and I'm looking forward to the next chapter!

The final beatitude in Emmet Fox's Sermon On the Mount! This one really stresses how important that purification process is and how were will constantly be needing to improve and grow in our lives. Also a little bit about martyrs as well, which was really interesting! Check it out!

An absolutely incredible reading and beatitude for this weeks reading! One that truly changed my perspective and understanding of change and what we are aiming for! Prayer and Serenity! Such an important understanding to have! Take a listen and hopefully you'll have the same shift that I had!
