E-BOOK REVIW - Book of Chants
Michael Gleason
(U.S.) available from dry...@embarqmail.com
I've commented before that I am a print kind of guy. I have had an aversion
to on-line books simply because I have been known to forget that I have them
on my hard-drive waiting to be read and reviewed. Having said that, I also
realize that pdf files are, at least, a significant wave of the future.
Therefore I eagerly looked forward to this book.
This is an extremely short and very personal book and contains about 30
chants and a half a dozen poems by the author. I did see a few problems
with the formatting (missing spacing between instructions and chants in some
instances, and inconsistent line length in the instructions), but
considering the very nature of the work, this wasn't too surprising.
The chants are divided into a number of topics - Love; Prosperity; Healing;
Protection for Family/Self; Protection for Hearth and Home; and Poems. Each
section contains about a half a dozen entries and, if they had been
formatted at one per page could easily have doubled the length of the book.
The author intends to bring out a series of books in the future and I look
forward to seeing them as they come out. They represent one person's view
and practice and are valuable if for no other reason. Add to that the fact
that there are a few real gems in the chants and poems, and you have more
reason to add this book to your e-book collection.
