The Deal

Praise

“Forgiveness liberates the soul.  Here is a book that covers just about every aspect of forgiveness. It is beautifully written, clear, and practical.  Read it and leave it in a public place so that everyone else can read it.”  
—Thomas Moore, author of Care of the Soul

“Many books claim to be challenging, but Richard Smoley’s The Deal truly is so. Following its simple yet radical premise could change your life.” 
—Eben Alexander, M.D., author of Proof of Heaven
 
“The Deal is concise, compact—and powerful. If people would simply learn these principles, so clearly and simply articulated here, they could transform the world. I am going to get copies for friends and family. Because I care about my friends and family.”
—John Shirley, author of Doyle After Death

“I have a standing rule: I read anything Richard Smoley writes.”
—Larry Dossey, M.D.

“Smoley…is adept at unknotting the paradoxes of spiritual traditions and making new connections across centuries and languages.”
— Library Journal

“One of the liveliest, most intrepid, and most gifted explorers of the spiritual landscape writing today.”
—Ptolemy Tompkins, author of Paradise Fever

“Always provocative, Smoley asks important questions.”
—Publishers Weekly
