Re: “The Voice – A Metaphor for Personal Development”
Going on a "Divine" Trip... with "The Voice", August / 2005
I found this book to be absolutely captivating ... the story line is creative, adventurous and thought-provoking with a spiritual thread woven throughout. It's just what our planet needs in these very confusing times. If everyone were to read "The Voice" and take the transformational message to heart, we'd be able to rise above human quagmires of war, famine, hatred and fear. I think, perhaps, we DO need to go off-planet for our answers and this book makes a great starship.

Dr. Turmel has created THE perfect metaphor for focusing humanity's awareness on ancient Cosmic Truths and enlightenment. "The Voice" is a captivating story that engages the reader at many different levels and has the potential to awaken even the most sleepy soul's consciousness. This galactic tale is spun magically and wisely, so that it entertains as well as teaches. "The Voice" enables us to see life as a journey towards
spiritual growth and healing, as ethereal beings having a human experience.
Re: “Mythical Times” by Maurice Turmel
“Mythical Times – Exploring Life, Love & Purpose” will do what great books
often do . . . get you to think about your Self and your place in the world . . .
Biblical in stature, offering guidance and insight to our future . . . from our
past. Richard Fuller, Metaphysical Reviews (1996)
In “Mythical Times” Maurice Turmel has created a collection of stories
and poetry to help us “see” (ourselves) more clearly . . . and has done so
in a clear and loving way.
I found “Mythical Times” to be an extremely useful tool to open up
the imagination and take one on a journey into Soul. For me, little is more
important than enlarging the imagination. Dr. Turmel’s stories and poems
provide a springboard for individual explorations of the worlds of the
imaginable and as such they are precious gifts.
Per Brask – Professor of Theatre and Drama,
The use of mythical stories and guided meditations brought me to the
place in my Self where my Soul lives. I have learned how to communicate
with my Soul and now have the courage to accept the guidance that will
help me to live as the person I was meant to be. “All is well in my world”
Audrey Birch – Insurance Systems Analyst
Dr. Turmel’s book “Mythical Times” renders with earnestness and
clarity the individual’s journey within, with all the engagement and power of
Myth. Dr. C. Jordan – Clinical Psychologist
Whether read aloud, used in a workshop setting, or appreciated in private,
the stories and poems in “Mythical Times” have relevancy. They are
like keys unlocking the mysteries within, helping to reveal ourselves and
find our way to our longing Souls. A valuable guide for anyone on a spiritual
journey. Lois Galatiuk – Workplace Benefits Manager
The book “Mythical Times” takes one to a time of fancy, a place where
solutions are possible. Put yourself into the characters shoes and feel
the ecstasy of success. C.L – Financial Analyst
I would highly recommend this book to anyone seeking to integrate
their life experiences with living symbols, emotional dynamics, r
elationship values and spiritual elements. Dr. Turmel’s writings are truly
“Mythical Times” which have a universal language regardless of one’s
spiritual or religious option. And they have the power to lead the reader
within and touch the Soul.
Reverend Gilbert Gariepy – Institutional Chaplain
I found the book “Mythical Times” fun and easy to read, and a great
source of inspiration. I related to something in all the stories and
gained valuable insights. I have given several copies to friends and
family and will continue to recommend it.
Dr. T. Michalyshyn – Chiropractor
All the stories in “Mythical Times” are an invitation – to discover the
importance of having a purpose in life – to become conscious of the
vital strengths within – in order to build self-confidence / self-esteem
and become more autonomous.
Sister Amanda - Funeral Chapel Support Services Provider
Dr. Turmel’s tales lead you on a journey within to your Self. You’ll discover
places on the way to your Soul you may have known were there, but never
knew how to reach. Once there you begin to realize that the gifts you
bring to this world are far more important than any material possessions
you may gain.
D.L. – Accountant
This is a wonderfully uplifting approach to helping individuals come in
touch with their spirituality. In seeking our true inner Selves, we search
endlessly for guidance and encouragement. Maurice Turmel offers both
of these in his book “Mythical Times” through the comforting and fascinating
medium of Myth. The stories and poems are supported by
illustrations that beautifully enhance the message throughout. I would
recommend this book to each and every person who wishes to get in
touch with his or her true and honest Self . . . (and Soul).

Re: “Parables on Grief and Loss” by Maurice Turmel
“I have read several books on grief and loss and I can safely say that
“Parables on Grief & Loss” has been my number one source of consolation.
This book is easy to read and struck many chords for me. In fact, I saw
myself in so many of the stories, I felt the book had been written just for me.”
Mrs. A. Richard, Port Colborne,
“The loss of a loved one is such a tragic event. This collection
of stories presents Love and Hope in support of Grief and Despair.”
Cheryl Lasson -
“Wonderful stories of Hope and Healing, told with a simple
wisdom. Dr. Turmel presents us with a difficult topic, addressing it in an
uplifting and inspirational voice.”
Stone Wallace, Author -
“These stories give us permission to express our feelings of
Grief and Loss overtly. They are therapeutic, written in simple fashion,
appealing to men, women and children, who have found themselves
in the circumstance of grief, with a wounded heart. Thank you Dr. Turmel
for sharing your own heart with us.”
Sister Evelyn Bastien –
“Even though references to God are Christian in tone ‘Parables on
Grief & Loss’ will appeal to persons of many faiths suffering the experience
of loss. The stories are simple and hold interest, offering much comfort,
insight and motivation to share one’s Grief, that being essential to
the healing process.”
