Soul to Soul Parenting by: Annie Burnside M.Ed.

Rating: 41/2 out of 5

Soul to Soul Parenting: A Guide to Raising a Spiritually Conscious Family is an insightful chronicle drawn from the real life journey of author Annie Burnside M. Ed., teacher,wife, mother of three, and professional soul nurturer.

The thing I like to most is that although this book is spiritually based it does not focus on any one religion. As a Roman Catholic I sometime find spiritual guides hard because they focus on the author’s religion. Burnside does not do that and it’s refreshing.
The end of each chapter is a “How to Integrate into Your Family” section. Which doesn’t say do this and this but rather says this is ways to try.
Also included are activities you can do as a family. We have tried some and found them helpful and fun at times.

“Embracing spiritual concepts does not necessarily create a perfect family, but rather one that is fully aware of each individuals capacity to shape their reality.” Burnside notes. I love this passage, I think we spend so much time focusing on perfection we forget everything else.
Annie Burnside has written a wonderful tool, yes tool not guide, to help all parents from all walks of life not only bring spirituality to their families but also understanding of each other and closeness.
