A book much about love, I fell in love with this book. Contradictory to what the
"subject" might suggest, however, it is anything but cloying or maudlin. After
being artfully briefed through its foundational backdrop, one becomes so caught
up in where this book is windsweeping him/her that each page becomes an
unexpected engagement. Harris blends his real and surreal characters together so
realistically and skillfully that the reader forgets they are not actual
people--people about whom he/she cares deeply--inhabiting his/her own world. It
is intense, riveting, mysterious and replete with surprise. With all the best
qualities that bring the best of bestsellers acclaim, Windsweeping has an
additional, major bonus: one cannot read this book without becoming a better
person for having read/experienced it. I can see it becoming a classic.
*********************************************************************************
Windsweeping is an enlightening story about a man's fabulous journey of
learning the lessons of the five elements of love: listening, humility,
patience, sacrifice and forgiveness and implementing them into his
relationships. You will find yourself so immersed with this book that it
becomes so much more than a fictional story about affirmations on how
to love because it begins to awaken and rebirth within your own heart
the soulful truth of what you have always known: living with and
implementing the five elements of love on a daily basis is always the
ultimate path as we journey through life! This book is a "must read" for
anyone who may be struggling with relationships to ultimately find
their way back to love!

I bought this book prior to meeting the author and his wife at a
book-signing. This book, along with many others I have bought, ended up
on my bookshelf with the intention to read it when I had time. After
about a month or so, the author's wife asked me if I had read the book.
As I was feeling guilty for not reading it, I decided to take the book
with me on my flight from California to Florida. I finished the book on
the flight to Florida. This book is truly life-changing and everyone
who is in a relationship or has been in a relationship should read it.
This book really made me reflect on prior and current relationships. It
shows in a powerful way that when you're dissatisfied with your current
relationship that what you're looking for might be right in front of
you. I went through a divorce several years ago and reading this book
made me realize that the divorce never had to happen if I had realized
what I had and if we had communicated. I think if I had read this book
prior to my divorce that I might not be divorced today and I can apply
what I've learned to my current relationship. I highly recommend that
everyone buy a copy, read it and have their significant other read it as
well.
***************************
I sat down on Sunday to read the book, Windsweeping, you know, a few
pages to see how I liked it....well, I read and I read and finally I
needed to eat dinner, people came by, the phone rang....and I read and
read until it was finished. All 300 pages devoured in one sitting more
or less. And then I wanted to go back there.....especially the dream
sequences....I still want to go back.....Great writing which lures you
into a world we do not know but are so happy to believe in... Wonderful
relationship lessons wrapped in tissue and barely noticed as they land
squarely in your heart. They remain there in your heart and brain and
dare I say "soul", after you have put the book down.
*********************
This is a wonderfully written novel that reads easily and has the feel
of a self-help book on relationships.I am amazed that this was written
by a man...perhaps the author should seriously consider offering
seminars on love and relationships especially geared toward men,
although nobody reading this book cannot be affected in a postive way. ********************
