The Path to Meaning Discover the Hidden Laws of the Universe edition by Agnes Bodi Religion Spirituality eBooks

Simply but poetically written, The Path to Meaning explores ways to become your best, most authentic self. While I'm not a religious or even a spiritual person, there's something here for everyone to take away. I particularly enjoyed the chapter on consciously wanting but subconsciously refusing. This book is a quick read with brief chapters — perfect for individuals who like their information in bite-sized chunks.

Because the book is short yet jam packed with information, it would be helpful to have a recap section at the end of each chapter or, perhaps, bolding of the central tenets to emphasize them.

Margot Gets An Unexpected Visit
By Lieve Snellings
I read this with my four-year-old daughter Jennifer and we both loved it. I was a bit worried that the book would be a bit too long for her attention span but she was so engrossed with it that she carried on right through to the end. Jennifer loves playing with other children and animals so she found this charming tale about a groundhog's friendship with two sisters hard to resist. The book was also a visual treat and Jennifer loved the vibrant, colourful pictures, especially the wackier ones involving Margot the groundhog. As a parent, I was also pleased to see a strong educational thread run through the book as it teaches children all about different species of rodents and birds. Jennifer especially enjoyed the page that displayed all the birds who had just visited the woodland hairdresser and spent a long time deliberating before picking out her favourite hairdo. This is a book I will be revisiting time and time again as part of Jennifer's bedtime reading. The only disappointment from this superb children's book is that Canada lose the big hockey game to America, as I always enjoy seeing the Yanks getting taken down a peg or two in the sporting arena. Let's hope it's not a case of Groundhog Day and the Canadian women eventually get their revenge on the ice.

Virgin Potato
By Callum Cordeaux

I haven't read many short stories but I even if I'd been reading 10 a week for the past decade, I doubt I would have come across anything as strange and original as this one. What starts off as a routine visit to an agricultural college by a prospective student and his parents descends into something wonderfully bizarre and funny. I don't want to expand any more on the plot as it would spoil your enjoyment of this excellent short story. Let's just say potatoes are heavily involved. Take 10 minutes out of your daily routine and discover its charms yourself. Cordeaux writes in a humourous and engaging style that keeps you hooked right up until the last page. I will definitely be checking out more of his stuff because this was right up my street.

Voopyre
By NC Stow
This wonderfully atmospheric short story had me gripped from first page to last. The author was born and raised in Siberia and you get a real sense of the culture and folklore from that vast, isolated region. I love classic Russian literature and NC Stow's prose is written in the same stylish vein, although the fantasy world she has created here is a far cry from the Tsarist Russia so memorably captured by the likes of Chekov and Dostoyevsky. This is a realm of beast masters, witches and monsters, where the elements converse with the people and nothing is quite as it seems. That NC Stow manages to cram so much into such a small number of pages is a testament to her skills as storyteller. I'm not usually a fan of the fantasy genre but this was so well written that I'm sure I will be returning to see what else NC Stow has managed to conjure up.
Children of the Future
By Jane Suen
Nothing sends panic spreading through a small town more than missing children. Dark thoughts are instantly conjured as powerless parents and everyone else in the community start to fear the worse for the poor boy or girl who has disappeared. It’s an all too common occurrence but this excellent novella turns the concept on its head. It’s not just one child who goes missing from the sleepy town of Rocky Flats but an entire class, with the exception of a wee boy called Billy who managed to hide himself away in a cupboard. Billy is eventually found by Telly, the driver of the school bus, who arrives for work and is puzzled to find the school deserted. Together, they set off to unravel the mystery of Billy’s missing class mates while the rest of the town mobilises to set up search parties and comfort the parents of those who have disappeared.
Without giving away any spoilers, it was refreshing to see the plot develop into something I wasn’t expecting and the way the book ends is excellent, forcing America to question how it raises its children. As a parent, I’m glad my four-year-old daughter is growing up in Scotland instead of a place where school shootings are almost a weekly feature on the national news. This book will hopefully lead to more debate on why America remains cursed by such a lethal problem.
I enjoyed Children of the Future and Jane Suen’s writing style reminded me of Cormac McCarthy a little but my only complaint is that the book drags a little between the disappearance of the kids and their eventual discovery. Perhaps it’s a little too realistic as time always seems to move slowly for those poor people waiting on any news of their precious loved ones. This book only runs to 116 pages but it probably could have benefitted from being a bit shorter.

Love, Grit, Blood and Spit
By Sandra Reid George
This deeply personal collection of short stories and poems comes straight from the heart, taking the reader on an emotional rollercoaster. The author’s love for both her parents dominates the book, although you can feel the sense of hurt she feels over her father’s infidelity, an act that seems to signal the end of innocence. You get a sense that this anthology is essentially a love letter to her mother, so it’s fitting that it ends with a touching poem written just days after her death.
The poems and stories that detail Sandra’s upbringing in Glasgow are the most heartfelt and engrossing sections as they’re full of the love, grit, blood and spit that give the book its title. It’s an uncomfortable read in places and the author isn’t afraid to tackle such dark subjects as domestic violence, gang rape and cancer. But liberal sprinklings of Glaswegian humour also provide plenty of laughs to balance things out and I particularly enjoyed the story that culminated in the arrogant driver of a sports car getting his comeuppance at a set of traffic lights.
Love, Grit, Blood and Spit is a book that is full of life and some of the stories perfectly capture the atmosphere and feel of working-class Glasgow in the 1970s and 80s. I’m not a huge fan of poetry so I enjoyed the short stories far more but there’s definitely something for everyone in this vibrant and engaging anthology.

NVSQVAM
By Ann Sterzinger
No book I’ve read has summed up the deepest, darkest thoughts of middle-aged men more brilliantly than this wonderfully dark comedy. That it was written by a woman makes it all the more remarkable as Ann Sterzinger gives voice to the feelings most men have at some stages of life but never dare to express, especially to their nearest and dearest. Lester Reichartsen has no such fears and regularly rains insults down on both his wife and nine-year-old son. This should make Lester an immensely unlikeable character but the genius of NVSQVAM is that you actually feel sorry for him and wish that his life had turned out better. Lester’s midlife crisis, fuelled by alcohol and a burning sense of injustice, builds throughout the course of the book as things take an increasingly desperate and dark turn. Our anti-hero yearns for a lost youth that brought him minor fame as the lead singer of a rock band and turns to the bottle as he struggles to carve out a more cerebral career in the world of academia. That he pins all the blame for his troubles on the birth of his son, a child prodigy who makes Lisa Simpson look like an uneducated boor, makes his home life even more miserable. The promise of an affair with an 18-year-old undergraduate is the only light Lester can see at the end of a tunnel that seems to have no end. You’d think this would make NSVQVAM a rather depressing read but it never fails to entertain, thanks to Sterzinger’s biting wit. She has a wonderful turn of phrase and dissects the banalities and irritations of consumer culture with such a skill that one can only read on in envy. NVSQVAM is also littered with witty gems in the footnotes at the end of each chapter, most notably her summation of the 9/11 attacks (“In 2001 Muslim-extremist terrorists staged a spectacularly violent attack on a civilian monument in the US, which – having recently suffered an undemocratic election itself – retaliated by picking an Arab nation, apparently at random, to violently democratize”).
That proves Sterzinger is a fearless writer and NSVQVAM is a book that you will either love or hate (the author describes it in the afterword as ‘the profound commercial failure you hold in your hands’). It could probably have benefitted from a bit of a trim as the book is a weighty tome and some of the dream sequences add little to the plot but you can forgive such a gifted writer for over-indulging in places. Wonderfully witty asides can be found on almost every page and although the ending of the book is typically dark, Sterzinger brings the humour back with a hilarious epilogue. I was going to say this is one of the funniest books I’ve read in a long time but it’s actually one of the funniest I’ve ever read. I will definitely be checking out more of Sterzinger’s work. Do yourself a favour and unearth this hidden gem.

Ours Yours and Mines
By Carmel Audsley

This family saga is written straight from the heart as the Australian author retraces the footsteps of her Scottish ancestors. Given that most of the book is set in the Ayrshire mining communities of the 1800s, it's perhaps no surprise that life was tough for the succession of McMurdos we become acquainted with. But the hardships that befall poor Mary McMurdo throughout a harrowing life are incredible grim, even by the standards of the time. At the start of the book Mary isn't even a McMurdo, going by the name of Hamilton, and her own mother has plans for her that are far loftier than marrying into mining stock. But she falls for the charms of George McMurdo at a village dance and thus begins a journey that takes her far deeper into darkness than the brave men who venture down the pit every day to earn a meager living. Amidst all the despair there is also great warmth and love though as the author paints a vivid picture of a close-knit family. You read on hoping things get better for the McMurdos, even though you realise there is probably more heartache around the corner. In this sense it reminded me of Angela's Ashes, although it lacks the eye for detail and humour that comes from Frank McCourt's first-hand experience of growing up in such troubled times. Carmel McMurdo Audsley does her ancestors proud though, especially the redoubtable Mary, a stronger woman I have never come across in fiction or life itself. As a Scot myself, I was a bit unsure if the Australian author would get the dialogue and atmosphere right but she has done an excellent job. You get a real sense of the community and the people, while there is also a nod to politics through the family's friendship with Kier Hardie, the founder of the Labour party. As a proud lefty myself, it was great to read about a politician who genuinely fought for the working man and tried to make the world a better and safer place for them. It was also rather depressing though as it reminded me how the values he founded the party on have now been completed eroded, leaving modern-day workers with nobody to fight their corner.
Throughout the endless succession of births, marriages and deaths that provide the plot of this book, Mary is always there to fight for her family. Her passing marks the end of the novel but not the end of the McMurdo story as the author leaves a little teaser for book No.2. Having thoroughly enjoyed my time in their company, I will definitely be back to see what life holds for the McMurdos throughout the 20th century.

One-Two
By Igor Eliseev
There something about Russian literature that just enchants me and after just a few pages I knew One-Two wouldn’t disappoint. Igor Eliseev’s writing is packed with both beauty and sadness, taking you on an emotional journey that lingers long in the memory. The book chronicles the hardships of conjoined twins, named Hope and Faith, growing up in Moscow at the time of Perestroika. From the dark days of their schooling under the rule of a beautiful tyrant nicknamed Adoter to an adult life spent drunk in dark tunnels begging for money, it’s hard to see how Faith and Hope can endure. They exist amidst a backdrop of violence, hurt, deformity and uncertainty, mirroring Russia at a time when crooks and charlatans carved up the county following the collapse of communism.
There are occasional rays of light in their bleak existence but they are only fleeting as the twins seek a sense of love and belonging after so many years of abandonment. When they are finally reunited with the woman who cut the maternal cord and began this sad process, the twins believe their life is about to change for the better. But their mother merely becomes the latest to inflict emotional and physical abuse on the twins and they end up feeling even lonelier. At several points in the novel, other characters tell Faith and Hope they should feel blessed for their deformity because they will never truly be alone. Yet the true sadness in the book stems from the collapse of their own relationship, with Faith and Hope growing to despise each other more than anything else as they face up to the hopelessness of their situation.
This is a story told with great skill and love. That it’s narrated by just one of the twins adds an extra dimension to the novel as we essentially only hear one side of the story. Although she paints a vivid picture of her sister, who emerges as the stronger and more stoical sibling, we are left to wonder how accurate this portrayal is, especially as their relationship begins to sour. Faith and Hope are remarkable heroines and you really identify with them but what I enjoyed most about the book was the characters who flit in and out of their life. This provides One-Two with the humour and colour that makes it so enjoyable to read.
My only minor gripe is the author’s habit of adding explanations in brackets for Russian references that he feels the reader may not understand. This started to annoy me a little as it broke the flow of the story and the explanations were often far too long-winded. He would have been far better served with footnotes for these points and some didn’t even need explaining at all as you could understand from the context what was inferred. But don’t let that put you off a remarkable and unique book that I thoroughly enjoyed.

Two Hundred Square Words
By Richard Bunning
Writing two hundred stories, each containing two hundred words, is quite a challenge for a writer and it's one Richard Bunning meets with imagination, humour and intelligence. As Bunning admits himself in the introduction, some stories are better rounded than others but there's such a vast array of styles crammed into the 200 pages that every reader will find something to enjoy. While this is part of the book's charm, it's also its main weakness as things shift about so much that it's hard to keep and some chapters just wash over you. Bunning switches from historical musings to science fiction at the drop of the hat and even turns philosopher in many chapters. The only book I've read that had a similar approach was Mi Siglo by the great Gunther Grass, where each chapter marked a year from 1900-2000 in Germany history. While Grass' beautiful prose made every story enjoyable in isolation, there was only a tenuous thread linking them together and after reading two or three chapters you had already forgotten about what went before.
This book suffers from the same thing but it's still well worth checking out and some of Bunning's writing does linger long in the memory, such as the self-obsessed yellow clad-cult that takes over the world and orders executions for those who choose intercourse over masturbation. The main theme of the book seems to be the writer's fears for the future as lots of the stories deal with dystopian worlds and the damage wrought by technology and capitalism. Bunning clearly feels a sense of loss for the erosion of the society he grew up in and skilfully weaves this into many of the short stories while warning future generations about what lies in store for them. But it's often when he keeps things more simple that the best of his writing comes out. Creating a fully rounded story in 200 words is a daunting task but he pulls it off beautifully in some chapters that bring characters to vivid life. My particular favourite was The Snowman, a story fools you into thinking it's a simple tale about a boy desperate to get out and play in the snow then takes a dark twist that completely changes your perspective.

Pitz Black
By King Macachor
Many atrocities were committed in Spain during Franco's odious reign but this book deals with a crime that remained hidden for years – the sad story of the country's stolen babies.
Like thousands of others over many decades of deception, our hero Pitz was taken away from his mother at birth and put up for adoption so unscrupulous doctors, nuns and priests could purloin a few extra pesetas. What made Pitz's story particularly heartbreaking was the fact he was separated not only from his parents but his twin brother as well. While his sibling remains in Madrid and is brought up in poverty by their Romanian immigrant parents, Pitz begins a new life in America after being adopted by a wealthy couple called the Blacks. He has everything a young boy could ask for growing up but Pitz never truly feels as if he belongs, especially when bullies at school begin to cast doubts about his parentage. He tries his best to get some answers out of his uncle but Pitz remains plagued by uncertainty before his life is turned upside down at the age of 15 by the tragic death of his adoptive parents in an airplane crash.
This leads to a period of even greater introspection that eventually forces Pitz to abandon his childhood sweetheart and seek a new challenge in the army. He tackles this tough and lonely job with a relish until he looks down his rifle in Iraq one day and spots his spitting image staring back at him. Pitz's thoughts suddenly return to the mystery of his birth and he becomes preoccupied by the thought he may have a twin brother out there.
He returns home to seek answers and slowly discovers the truth behind the dark secret but this only leads to greater danger as Pitz becomes the mortal enemy of his twin, who has devoted his life to becoming a jihadi.
This all makes for an interesting read in a well-paced book that has shades of a spy thriller as the story progresses. Pitz himself is an intriguing hero, an inquisitive boy whose passion for magic sees him become a professional illusionist, and you feel a connection with him as you join him on his journey of discovery. But the book is hard going in places, mainly due to the fact that the author over-complicates things when a far simpler style will be more enjoyable. This is most evident in some of the dialogue, which contains words you can never imagine someone saying (the most notable being when Pitz casually drops the word "propinquity" into conversation with his girlfriend). It's a shame as the book could have been a lot smoother and easier to read. But it's still worth checking out as the plot keeps you gripped.

The Path to Meaning by Agnes Bodni

This is only a short book but plenty of wisdom is packed into its pages. In an era where narcissism, materialism and greed are taking an ever firmer grip, it’s refreshing to see Agnes Bodi preach a message of spirituality, love and understanding. Faith plays a key role in the book but you don’t need to be religious to pick up on the advice offered. Bodi claims at the start of the book that her aim in passing on knowledge and insight is to “guide your steps towards a more meaningful life”. It’s a lofty goal and what shines through is the fact the only person who can effect change in your life is yourself. Reading this book won’t make you a more spiritual person unless you actually put in the effort to practise what is preached. The Path To Meaning is certainly thought provoking but my main gripe with the book is that Bodi’s advice sometimes get lost in the dense language she uses. It’s heavy on jargon, with talk of “vibrations”, “frequencies” and “downloads” and this often makes for a confusing read. After reading a page, I sometimes found myself instantly forgetting what I’d just read, forcing me to go back over it to pick up on what Bodi was trying to say. This is the first time I’ve read a so-called “self-improvement” book and maybe it’s a problem of the genre but I couldn’t help but think the use of far simpler language would have made for a better and more enjoyable read.
Brief but a good reminder if you are already a seeker on the path. Not sure a complete novice to this school of thought would enjoy the book
A solid four star for discussing what everyone strives for - we are all looking for meaning in our life, always searching to understand things and an urgency to understand the 'inner me'

It was an easy read and I liked the layout but The Path to Meaning was presented in a way that I felt was too clinical - as in too short without enough information. I would love to have seen examples or a more in depth explanation of some chapters.
You may believe in positive potential, the law of attraction, or the power of prayer, but have experienced blocks, sometimes feeling that you will never get through. "Why is this so?" you may ask. "What am I doing wrong?" This book talks about getting in tune with the universe. Your flow of life needs to be in tune with the flow of the universe in order for your intentions to manifest anything. Bodi's text could be said to be religious, as she does talk about 'God' and 'God's plan', but really the words 'Universe' and 'Cosmic pattern' can easily be used as replacements. I am not religious and I certainly gained things from reading this book and was easily able to harmonize it with my philosophy.

The 16 chapters are very short (only three or four pages long), but need to be thought about. I recommend reading just one chapter a day during a coffee break, or as part of your morning meditation. This book is so short it would be easy to wiz through it and totally miss the meaning. You may feel you have heard much of the ideas before, but Bodi's slant is subtly different.

So if you feel you want to take an active part in your life, but are pushed around by forces much greater than yourself, this is the book for you. To give you my background I am New Age, influenced by Wicca and Jungian philosophy, but with on real ties to any particular belief. I believe in free thought. With that in mind I am awarding this book 5 stars, as it was really an enjoyable and enlightening read.
Simply but poetically written, The Path to Meaning explores ways to become your best, most authentic self. While I'm not a religious or even a spiritual person, there's something here for everyone to take away. I particularly enjoyed the chapter on consciously wanting but subconsciously refusing. This book is a quick read with brief chapters — perfect for individuals who like their information in bite-sized chunks.

Because the book is short yet jam packed with information, it would be helpful to have a recap section at the end of each chapter or, perhaps, bolding of the central tenets to emphasize them.
