Janette Fuller Book Review Reiser's Ramblings

Reiser's Ramblings Book Review - Join me on a spiritual journey that is inspiring, illuminating.


Please check out a very nice book review on Reiser's Ramblings by blogger Janette Fuller: I like how she has captured the some of the spiritual themes and how she was able to put it into words the way Father writes and speaks: “The prose is written in an expressive, emotional and melodious style that is music to the reader’s heart. Father Reiser writes with passion, conviction and confidence.” See the book review at her blog.
