"This work is brilliant. It is darker than the 53 SMILES but it is thought provoking to the reader and causes them to question what is happening for them. Sometimes it gives the answer to the question and sometimes it doesn't. The wording is poetic and beautifully written. This book is best delved into rather than being read from cover to cover and is less about being entertained and more about being challenged to grow personally. The writer shows understanding and maturity." Anna Louise, life coach at www.annalouiselifecoaching.com
"The master of A Course In Miracles tells us that we are, "Moving to a place beyond words on a journey without distance to a place we never left." He's literally helping us to "roll away the stone." In his book 97 Smiles, Philip Bradbury is utilizing the era of less is more. He's actually assisting us to cut our addiction to story by giving us just enough words to provoke a question or two. The tightly packed stories invoke more stillness and time to ponder, "And then what?" Illusions of despair and comfort may seem to come and go, but behind each story there is reality, there is God. Philip cleverly shows us our hidden fear of God by exposing our tendency to dive deep into fantasy whilst hardly daring to dip our toe in the waters of reality. I think congratulations are in order Mr Bradbury. I am looking forward to your account of what can happen when we drop the shackles of fantasy and dive headlong into God." Sallyann Gaelic, Writer and Teacher of A Course in Miracles
