Book Review: The Four Essential Questions


This is the third book I have read from Beca Lewis in her "The Shift Series". Just like some of her other books, this publication clears your path you walk on to discover more about your spirituality, your emotional-being, as well as your life goals.

The Four Essential Questions will assist the reader in finding answers to questions that keep many us in captivity within our own life. The reader is guided to use the Shift Series Approach to break the negative pattern you might be stuck in, and to start living the way we really want to, here and now.

One of Lewis' quotes that I have seen in other books by her hand is "What we perceive to be true, magnifies". This statement is used as the basic approach to start living an improved life, to the full intend. The reader is assisted by Lewis by reading about strategies, stories of her own live as well as of others, and by completing short assignments that focus on some of the content, or on short assignments that focus on the reader's own reflection on life. This is respectfully done by connecting to the Divine.

Chapters 1 to 3 prepare the reader to the 4 questions asked, and provide the needed back ground information, as well as some assignments for self-exploration. I found that it is good to wait with reading chapter 4 and on until you have a clear understanding of what was discussed in the chapters 1 to 3, and until you have done all the short assignments. Why rush through a journey for spiritual improvement when you do not fully grasp the concepts?

Chapter 4 to 7 reflect on the 4 essential questions in great detail, and I enjoyed reading chapter 7 the most, which deals with the question: "Am I lying?" This essential question goes so much further than just these 3 words, and I highly recommend reading this book if it were only to learn something from chapter 7. Each of the chapters 4 to 7 could be taken out of this publication and further developed in a stand-alone book, as those essential questions touch on the inner core of our beliefs and thoughts.

If you enjoy structures self-help resources that follow a proven concept, and enjoy the reflection and philosophy aspects of your life, this book should be one to have in your Kindle Library. Not only could it assist you in improving your purpose in life, but it could also give you the tools to help out some of your friends, relatives, or children.
