Explores central stages of personal growth and development, and examines how our spiritual life may be blocked by ways of thinking and emotional baggage. Jackee Holder draws from her own experiences, and Afro-Caribbean culture, to explore such issues as self esteem and personal relationships.

Jackee Holder's book Soul Purpose is a practical guide to living your dream and to a richer inner life. As with other self-help books, you know intuitively if the author is speaking from experience or theory and Holder speaks from personal authority. She has a good line in easy quotes, "criticism is the way some people cry", for instance. Perhaps the nub of the matter is how to know when you have found your soul purpose: "You will feel constantly energised by what you are doing. Creative ideas will flow abundantly. Opportunities will present themselves without you having to do very much". Holder believes the soul reminds us of our incarnational purpose, even when we forget it.
Each of the chapters starts with the author relating personal experiences and introducing the theme and then follows with numerous "self-discovery" (as she calls them) exercises. These range from the practical: sacred baths, soul food recipe cards, making a collage of inspirational mentors; to more esoteric ones like moon libation, setting up an ancestral altar or balancing breath. The book is divided into two, with the first half being more practical (chapters on relationships, empowerment, etc.) and the second half being spiritual. There is a lot here that will appeal to women especially (moon cycles and sisterhood rituals) and Holder draws strongly on her own Barbadian and African ancestry. Its a book that will give the reader a wide selection of exercises to help enrich their lives and inspiring text from the author's own life. --Peter Lloyd
