Source of the following reviews:
www.PathwaysSpiritualSanctuary.orgA wonderfully written story of a
farm kid's traumatic life journey and spiritual awakening. The
pages fly by as Dave struggles to understand and accept things that
he cannot fully explain. If you have ever wondered how to define
spirituality, this book is for you. -Brad Christiansen A totally
engrossing and uplifting book well worth reading. This book would
be a great tool for therapists and counselors to recommend to those
struggling with family communication, or lack thereof. -Trudy
Severson I have to say I'm a bit of a skeptic when it comes to
spiritual matters. I'm more of a "dirt guy." However, when I
started to read Dave Snyder's book, The Turkey Shack, A Journey to
Love, I was captivated. I basically didn't put it down until I
finished it! -David Petersen This book is such a blessing as it
tells the story of how the Pathway to Love is full of ups and
downs, trials and triumphs, pain and joy, and in this writer's
case, a turkey shack. It shares how a man, whose life could have
been shattered by loss, learned to not only share love with others
in his family, his work life, and through the eventual creation of
a spiritual sanctuary, but also receive it. It's the tale of how
this very ordinary man woke up from a lonely and pain filled
existence to show us what can happen when we listen and trust the
loving voices within and without that guide us as we embrace our
own pathway, wherever it may lead. May we all have love,
compassion, tolerance, and forgiveness for ourselves and each
other. -Carly Ericson, DPTThe Turkey Shack. A compelling read from
an ordinary working man who is willing to expose his deepest
feelings and risk vulnerability to bring a message of hope and love
to others. He shares his extraordinary experience of discovering
that there is more to human life than the physical/material we all
think we know. -Joan K. Irwin, PhDA captivating true tale of one
man's odyssey and the creation of a beautiful outdoor sculpture
garden and sanctuary in the Black Hills of South Dakota.What forces
led a regular guy to carve out a non-religious spiritual sanctuary
and sculpture garden from his Black Hills ranch? Read it and find
out. You will be entertained and glad you did. -Steve
ZellmerDisclosure: I'm Dave Snyder's cousin, the one sitting next
to him in one of the photos in The Turkey Shack, A Journey to Love.
I've followed Dave's progress as he's written his story and I think
he's nailed it! This book will be loved by anyone who's struggled
with hardship, and by anyone who spends time thinking about
"meaning of life" issues. I guess that means all of us. -Teresa
RennickThis book will surprise you. -Jody Severson This fascinating
book is an insight to a remarkable man allowing the reader into his
life, both as a struggling boy and adult. It is honest and
compelling ...hard to put down until finished.
