Review
"BECOMING ME is a little book that tells a very big story. Told in simple language with radiant full-colour illustrations, the book brings us on a journey through the very mystery of life itself, reminding us of our connection with the divine source of all creation. Accessible to both children and adults the simplicity of the words and pictures allows us access to the deepest realms of understanding too often shrouded behind complex theories and psycho-babble. Becoming Me is told with a tremendous open heart and with each turn of the page we stride deeper into ourselves discovering our place in the overall scheme of things and all the potential that that creates. A practitioner and lecturer in the field of transpersonal psychology, psychotherapist Martin Boroson succeeds in communicating essential spirtual truths in an easy to understand way that touches the very core of our being. The book also includes handy references for further reading by some of the current thinkers in transpersona/integral studies in the world today. A delightful and insightful book." -- Ciara Cronin, Source Magazine
"If you ever want to give someone a lovely present I have a suggestion for you - Becoming me - a story of creation. It is a lovely book - sweet and simple - still very wise and profound. It tells a very short and personal story of what it feels like to wake up to a higher spiritual understanding of the universe, wonderfully illustrated with pictures in the most fantastic colours. It is a book I can recommend for everyone in all age groups, from one-year-olds upwards." -- Gunnel Minnet, International Breathwork Foundation Newsletter
"Once upon a time ... I was. There was nobody who knew that I was ... But I was."

A wonderful book. This is a wonderful book.

About the God in us and the us in God. A mystical midrash about the interconnectedness of all life, about the God in us and the us in God. -- Rabbi Sandy Sasso, author of God's Paintbrush
Becoming Me is for people of all faiths and those of no particular faith. You can read alound or contemplate it quietly. Its for your child and its for you. The illustrations by Christopher Gilvan-Cartwright are superb. -- Childrens Books in Ireland , Dec 2000
Bright and beautiful-a much-needed reminder for children of all ages that we are truly God's own children. -- Father Brett Hoover, Church of St. Paul the Apostle
From rich endpapers that suggest the golden oozing goo of creation to the gloriously hued chaotic mass at its end, we sense the relationship of color, light, and sound in the cosmic creation-and at the heart of it all is the voice of God. Daring? Yes. Presumptuous? No. There is a humility and simplicity-and just enough mischief-in the writing that makes it somehow plausible that the person of God has written this book, describing the enormous complexity of creation in terms of self-discovery. It resolves beautifully in the way that God becomes human, and how in human form we still forget that we are God. Profound fun for all ages, a delight for anyone who enjoys pondering imponderables. -- NAPRA Review September/October 2000
