This book is one of my favorites! I have read it several times! Truth rings from every page and touches my heart in a way no other has. I love the written word as much as the next reader; however, listening to this book takes you to another level entirely! On long drives or while cleaning around the house, it is the perfect companion and I hear something different every time. The narrator, Rich Miller, has a deep, powerfully rich voice that immediately transports you into the worlds the author, Harold Klemp, speaks about. Highly recommend!

Everyone seeks truth, but Harold Klemp says we respect it only after winning it through hard effort. By that measure Klemp, spiritual leader of Eckankar, has a healthy respect for truth. Autobiography of a Modern Prophet is the sometimes painful, often funny, story of Klemp’s dogged progress from humble farmer’s son to spiritual leader of a world-wide religion that bills itself as the most direct path to God. There are many paths to our creator, says Klemp, but only one in which a living spiritual master is both your outer and inner tour guide. Klemp knows this, having followed the living master who came before. I read the book years ago but was not prepared for the power of the audio version. It’s like sitting beside the world’s most highly realized being while he tells you his story—and being able to rewind when I need to hear something again. Not just an autobiography, this book is a primer on how to reach spiritual mastership—or, at the very least, to discover the truth that you, too, are a soul with a purpose.

Times can be brutally tough and seem so unfair. Sometimes our best intentions and efforts to be responsible and do the right things are just not enough. But there is help, as I found out. Autobiography of a Modern Prophet showed me how Harold Klemp moved through his toughest of times and towards achieving his high spiritual goals. He did this by practicing the ECK Spiritual Exercises regularly while paying attention to and applying the guidance of his spiritual guide. This book helped me adjust my perspective on life’s experiences. I began to see how and why these experiences weren’t just happening to me but happening for me. And if I hang in there, try to see the spiritual perspective and learn from these experiences, listen to and apply both the inner and outer spiritual guidance from Harold, life will be so much better for me. It’s been working well. Life has been better for me since reading this book and applying it to my challenges. I have found it to be a book that I can return to again and again to learn something new. Maybe the things you will learn from Autobiography of a Modern Prophet can help you, too. And now that this book is also an audio book that can be downloaded to a phone or a pad, it makes it easier to benefit from it while your hands are busy with activities that don’t require your full attention. Check it out and see what you think.
