NAPRA Review (Holiday 1997) Books New & Noteworthy:

"Seeker, physician, psychiatrist, and teacher Ware has spent a lifetime working with "pilgrims" on the journey to a fulfilled self-aiding and observing the process of those seeking peace, contentment, and spiritual understanding. His book is intended as a guide, nothing more than a focus and facilitator for the quest that must take place within the individual. His approach involves journaling and specific assignments and exercises prescribed in each of the 13 chapters. Through the process, one becomes conscious of the limitations created by fear, attachment, loss and all the myriad distractions that are placed in our way by the world around us. It's an intense process, though Ware stresses the importance of proceeding at your own soul's pace, taking time to absorb and assimilate each stage before moving on. Accessible and attractively presented, this down-to-earth guide will find its audience." -PM

Small Press Magazine (November-December, 1997)

"What if you had choices you didn't know you had? This guide/workbook is for individuals who need to examine their lives and begin to know, understand and focus on one's self.

Many people believe that true happiness results from having a relationship with another person. Ware claims the book will revolutionize the most significant relationship in your life. To discover yourself is to find the most important element in life. You. Ware succeeds to motivate and teach the reader to be patient, focused, aware, non-judgmental, and perseverant.

At the end of each chapter Ware suggests brief and meaningful exercises. These exercises are included in the last chapter for easy reference. Several times the author switches from speaking to female to male which this reader found distracting. Ware emphasizes journalizing and honesty in the journey to new and exciting experiences with the new You. If an individual is wanting to trade inner turmoil for peace and is willing to commit 10 minutes a day, this is an excellent guide." --Nina Ward

Metaphysical Reviews (August, 1997)

"Dr. Ware has given us a personal guide to facilitate learning, understanding and "...preservation of one of nature's most splendid and endangered species - the human spirit. An Uncertain Pilgrim "...is offered as a blueprint to the individual. It is intended to stimulate interest, to challenge, and to inspire motivation..." "It surely does! This reviewer found Dr. Ware's book to be leagues ahead of the pack... This is a direct result of the bounty of information and experiences An Uncertain Pilgrim contains. What sets this paradigm apart from the rest is Dr. Ware's obvious caring...his straight-from-the-shoulder approach" and the way An Uncertain Pilgrim is personalized by its assignments and quizzes." "An Uncertain Pilgrim is the neon on the roadsigns to betterment! And J. Patrick Ware is the engineer who designed and placed them to ensure your successful journey! This reviewer strongly suggests this handbook to anyone seeking truth and spiritual identity!"
--Richard Fuller, Senior Editor, Metaphysical Reviews

An Excerpt from An Uncertain Pilgrim

Introduction

Let me speak to you and your spirit and perhaps even hold your heart ever so gently. Walk with me and those who have gone before you. Life is a journey, and as we travel we pass, in the least, time, step by step and day by day. There is much wisdom available from those who also search for Truth and Meaning. I have been graced by the company and trust of many and have learned much from each and every one. You have many wonderful "secrets" within you and you may uncover them -- if you will.

You may be lonely, struggling with feeling "empty", inadequate, dependent, out of control, vulnerable and/or dissatisfied with the overall success of your personal experience irrespective of tangible achievements. You may indeed be unable to imagine individual personal independence that is natural, spontaneous, and truly creative. What if? that which you have avoided -- yourself and your full ability to know and achieve all of who you are -- is the greatest untapped resource in existence? What if? you can have personal awareness, honesty, motivation and self-respect?

What if? someone told you that contentment and creativity were readily accessible, cheap if not out right free, and much simpler and perhaps, even easier than your present reality? After years of involvement with fellow travelers (only some of whom are "patients") many have suggested the sharing of the information contained herein in a format which will allow other searchers an experience they might otherwise not be able to avail themselves. The challenge: to create a simple learning resource which may facilitate the acquisition of enhanced understanding and preservation of one of nature's most splendid (and endangered) species -- that of the human spirit itself -- YOU!

Please allow me to serve as your guide on a journey of self exploration. I look forward to learning with you, assisting as I may with your own journey and hearing how you "experience" the book.
