SHALOM MY LOVE: The Story of a True Love that Bridges Heaven and Earth - by Sunny Ariel.
$16.95     ISBN:0-932482-90-2, Sapphire House.

Gadi was an intense and vital man, a successful Israeli filmmaker, and Ariel's passionate lover, until his life suddenly ended in a helicopter crash while filming in the Philippines.  This is Ariel's story, not only of their life together, but of her ongoing relationship with him after his death. It is also a story of what it is to be Jewish in the New-Age, as Ariel shares her own spiritual journey.  Transmission from Gadi, flashbacks to earlier experiences, Ariel's conversations with family and friends, all weave together in a lively and inspiring presentation.  Gadi's "last word" is an apt summation of the spirit of this book: "I have only a mind and spirit, but I have constant joy, something I did not have when I had a body. But you guys have the potential of having it all, once you truly understand that love is all about letting go of fear."  - AM

Shalom my Love is a true story of one women's spiritual journey. It follows her quest to find out the spiritual meaning of her life. She allows us to peek at her life in the most personal terms, knowing that this is the only way that we will understand her journey. It is a metaphysical book and the author exposes us to her metaphysical views. Which is a good thing because she is very aware. We learn from this book. We learn about love, forgiveness, the transcendence of love beyond death, and the importance of spirituality in our day-to-day lives.

The story is multi-faceted. The main story is about the author's spiritual journey. Inter-mixed in this journey is an amazing sub-text of a relationship that is on-going--even though her love, Gadi Danzig, died in 1989, while filming Delta Force II. They remain in contact to this day because of his desire to help her with her journey. Their love truly has transcended death.

Shalom my Love is one of the best books that I have ever read regarding reincarnation, and yet that is only one facet of this immensely satisfying book. Another facet of this story are all of the relationships that the author exposes us to. We learn how she deals with her parents, daughter, grand parents, and the men in her life. Because of her spiritual quest, the relationships in her life must revolve around her spirituality. For instance, everyone in her life relates to her as if she is half- nuts, because they question her beliefs. But by the end of the book you realize that her spirituality has led her to a gratifying life. You also learn how it is possible to live a metaphysical lifestyle, even when those that you love disapprove.

This book is loaded with spiritual insights and tidbits of information that she has learned along the way. It is not just about her experiences, although they play a major role in the book. It also about what she has learned along the way. Her wisdom is a fount of knowledge and worth reading for that alone. It is a great read and very refreshing. When you are finished you will thank the author. You will thank her for showing the way."
