Praise For It's OK to Believe ...

  

Do you want to view reality from a fresh perspective?
If so, Katherine T Owen’s book It's OK to Believe is a must-read.”

Stephanie J Hale, Literary Agent at Oxford Literary Consultancy


"A veritable mine of timeless wisdom and inspiration. Katherine T Owen has been a student of A Course in Miracles for more than 16 years and the alchemical effect of this on her thinking leaps out from every page of this book."

Ian Patrick, Founder of the Miracle Network in the UK, Editor of Miracle Worker magazine

 


The following are all unsollicited comments on It's OK to Believe. (Two people chose to neaten up their comments when I asked if I could use them)...

A Review of It's OK to Believe on Joanne Sprott's blog - copied below

Out of 250 authors in the Next Top Spiritual Author Competition, Joanne chose five to promote. I was honoured to be amongst them.

  

"Lights of Inspiration--Katherine T. Owen

27.06.10 at 22:19
Unique. That's what I'd go with. Her voice and life story are so compelling, it's hard to come up with comparisons. Katherine could have gone the memoir route and simply told the extraordinary healing journey she's made for body, mind, and soul during a 14-year virtually immobilized illness challenge that most of us could never imagine.

But, no. Instead, she just tells us it's OK to believe, in the things we can see, and in the things we cannot see. That would seem to take up only a simple sentence, but not so.

Through a blend of narrative poems, release statements, and quotes from the Bible and A Course in Miracles, Katherine blows right past your mind and into your soul, which starts saying "Yes!" right away. The resonance was immediate for me, anyway.

The only comparison that came to mind from the first poem was of Khalil Gibran. A gentleness with ancient text-like authority, perhaps due to the biblical and ACIM influences.

"It's OK to Believe illuminates fundamental truths about the spiritual journey. It is an intensely personal, deeply moving, wise and heart-warming book, and deserves a wide audience.”

Cathy Jeffrey, Lightworker, Five Rhythms Dancer


“It is amazing. It gives another point of view and people want to hear that...
“It's OK to think life has no meaning”. I don't know why but that release makes me feel very emotional.
I love the way you give permission.”

Alex Strange, no particular faith, Carer


“I like your words [from the introduction] – “On reading the release, we relax in the understanding that we are accepted as we are” etc, and “Once we release judgement we gain an ability to accept, see and therefore judge the behaviour more clearly.” I like the idea of loosening the knot – it’s so true it becomes apparent what you do next....
This has a lot in it to benefit others. Congratulations. Very thought provoking.”

Kate Sweeney, Universalist, Retired Physiotherapist


I have a sense of you being on a journey and I am going with you, asking questions and looking for answers.
It helps me clarify my own beliefs somehow – a feeling of the penny dropping...
I expected it to be difficult, but it is really accessible...
I like all three parts to the page – the poem, the release and the quote...
I have read it a page at a time and now I am re-reading it.”

Mark Pugh, Secular, HGV Driver


Well written, perceptive and feeds the spirit...
You have a message of love and hope that people are in need of...
I love it. I will now re-read it slowly to do it justice as it is the sort of book that stands as a reference point to life and belief...
I so admire how out of a big problem in your life your spirit has created something so impressive.”

Teresa Davey, Free-thinking Christian (Catholic), Swindon Poet and Writer


“Very freeing and full of permissions – permission to doubt, question, probe and journey; it validates faith and belief without disrespecting those who would claim to have none. Challenging, affirming and inspiring to all.

Peter Ferguson, Leader in Kainos Christian Church, Swindon


“I received my copy yesterday and am greatly impressed. What I hadn't expected was the sheer ENERGY in it. Amazing! I shall continue to savour it...
I've been reading more of the book and not just dipping in and out. Yes,it’s really better that way and much more impressive. Really challenging. I introduced another friend to it yesterday and she liked what she saw and said she would buy it...”

Mary Burtenshaw, Catholic Religious Sister, Retired Headmistress

The same in print:
"I have been asking spirit vehemently for days to send me the answer to something I have been trying to figure out. Last night they told me guidance would be coming in human and spirit form.

This morning, I was so tired from frustration I took the kids to school and went back to bed. I never answer the door when I am asleep, nor my landline but keep my mobile next to me as an alarm.

My stepfather rang me and woke me up, asking if I would be practicing later. I said yes and was about to go back to sleep when I had a strong sensation I was being woken up for something else. One minute later someone knocked on the door and your book turned up.

Thank you so much for writing the book. I think there will be many more things in there I haven't yet thought of!

Much love
Jenny

PS. The answer to my problems was on page 40."


Your poems move me to tears. You know when you read something and it speaks to you deep inside; a feeling of thinking:
“Totally Yes, that’s what it is like.”

My favourite inspiration in the book is Reciprocals:
“You send me hate, I know there is love...”

I know this difficult experience of severe ME I am having isn't reality. I know there is heaven and that heaven is the reality even though it is not the reality of my experience right now. Thank you so much for sharing that message.”

“I like It's OK to Believe very much. I don't like books much, but it was left at a salon I was working at. I started to look it over several weeks later and I was unable to put it down.
