When reading Messages from Amma, one is compelled to believe that both the original words of Amma and the powerful, poetic translation of those words by Janine Canan are inspired. The book conveys so beautifully and succinctly the spiritual depths of Amma, an amazing 21st Century saint. Janine Canan has succeeded in collecting, translating, and organizing Amma's teachings in a way which does truly speak to the heart -- and the soul. The thematic organization makes this beautifully illustrated book useful for both spiritual nourishment and meditation. Especially powerful are the sections on Surrendering the Ego and Seeing the Good. Nowhere has Amma's message of love been presented more powerfully. No matter what your faith, if you have faith at all, you'll find this book inspirational.

MESSAGES FROM AMMA is stunning and powerful. Amma's words have given me new insight in looking at the world through the eyes of a modern-day saint. Vibrant photos, reflecting Amma's happiness, are sprinkled throughout the book. Janine Canan has given the world a wonderful gift!
