An Ordinary Life Transformed
Lessons for Everyone from the Bhagavad Gita
by Rev. Stephanie Rutt
Bhagavad Gita translation by George Thompson
This book is filled with real-world stories and examples of how ordinary people have found the courage to stand up and do what needs to be done. How ordinary people have discovered that when they speak, live and act from their deepest impulse, truth is served. How ordinary people have fallen in love with that which is the same in all of us and how that experience changes everything.
— from the PrefaceStephanie Rutt’s prose is, like the Gita itself, insightful, compassionate and filled with moments of personal enlightenment. If you read this, let it settle snugly in your heart; you will see the extraordinary in every ordinary moment. It is a journey of discovery that begins and ends in your soul.

For those who truly wish to understand the important messages found in the Bhagavad Gita, Rev. Rutt’s book gives us all a clear picture of the life-directing principles of Hindu philosophy. It shows, in an easily understood format, how we may apply these principles directly to our own life experiences. It is a “do not miss” book for anyone who is looking for answers to life’s everyday challenges.
