As the famous Buddhist saying goes:
“When the student is ready the teacher will appear..”
That teacher might well be a book.
The right book at the right time can change our life. Books have the potential to expand our mind, guide us to presence, teach us to surrender, empower us to make profound shifts and cause us to renew our perspective, see ourselves more deeply and move into alignment with our higher purpose.
There are countless spiritual books on the market written by renowned teachers, sages, and visionaries throughout the ages which serve to enrich and enhance our lives.
It can be overwhelming and seemingly impossible to cut through and discern to which books to dedicate our valuable time.
At The Spiritual Book Club, we have curated an evolving list of the most impactful spiritual books in the world - from the deeply profound to the simply uplifting - from authors long before our time to those who are generating works for our era.
Often when we read these books, it feels like the authors are ‘speaking to us’ through the pages.
At the Spiritual Book Club, it’s kind of like that.
With access to exclusive interviews with some of our favourite spiritual authors and teachers - as well as authors you may not have come across yet but will be glad you did - we get the opportunity to explore their messages further and delve deeper into their teachings and motivations. They’ll also guide you in practical exercises or meditations to elevate your life.
A bit about me
Meet Jacinta
I’m a former TV News anchor, journalist, author and founder of
The Spiritual Book Club.
I’ve been a journalist my entire career, working as a TV news anchor and reporter as well as writing magazine columns, articles and books.
My books include The Single Mother’s Social Club - Inspiration and advice on embracing single parenthood, and Mother Zen - described as ‘part memoir, part manifesto of modern motherhood’.
I have been on a ‘spiritual path’ for many years, which intensified when I learnt to meditate when I was pregnant with my first child.
I’d always wanted to start a book club to discuss spiritual and inspiring books with like minded people, but never seemed to have the time. When I was retrenched from my job as a news presenter during the Pandemic, I finally had the space to make it happen.
I created The Spiritual Book Club because these are the books I most love to read and which I want to share with others. These are the books that have changed me, opened me up, inspired me to grow and evolve, and brought solace and connection.
I know I’m not the only one.
Drawing on my skills as a TV journalist, I speak with some of our most revered spiritual authors and teachers - along with authors you may not have heard about yet but will be glad you did - to share their insights and their own stories of how they came to this wisdom.
Like all of you who have arrived here, I’m driven by the pull of expansion and a desire for deeper understanding, giving us all access to a more meaningful life.
Just like a good book.
