Description In Pursuance Of Books The Bridge Across Forever: A True Love Story
More than one year on the New York Times bestseller list! Richard Bach's timeless and uplifting classic of hope and love "We're the bridge across forever, arching above the sea, adventuring for our pleasure, living mysteries for the fun of it, choosing disasters triumphs challenges impossible odds, testing ourselves over and again, learning love and love and love!" "The opposite of loneliness, it's not togetherness. It is intimacy." "Look in a mirror and one thing's sure: what we see is not who we are." "Next to God, love is the word most mangled in every language. The highest form of regard between two people is friendship, and when love enters, friendship dies." "There are no mistakes. The events we bring upon ourselves, no matter how unpleasant, are necessary in order to learn what we need to learn; whatever steps we take, they're necessary to reach the places we've chosen to go."

This book really wasn't for me. It was a task to make myself pick it up and read. I found the writing construed and self absorbed. If Richard truly believes in soul-mates and forever and that this woman was the one then why is he no longer with her? Also why is there no mention of his children from his previous marriage? Such a shame. The one thing that does show through is Richard's selfishness.I found one quote that I liked so I suppose all is not lost.When asked about beautiful women beingI'm inclined to believe Bach wrote this book with the intent to merely capitalize on the lonely and lovelorn.I think the aspects of character that make people "soulmates", would certainly make the two naturally desirous (if not compelled) to share each others lives for the duration of their time 'mantled in clay'. In that sense, his divorce would seem to render his book into a speciously motivated pile of saccharine drivel.Future printings should be re-titled something like: "Ooops....nevermind"
This book has ruined lives.Of almost every woman who has read it.(I was coaxed into reading it by one!)They all, poor things, lead the rest of their lives believing that there was a soul mate out there for them.Fiction: The book itself, a semi auto-biographical tome with the author discovering his soul mate (his second wife in real life an actress whose claim to fame is a bit part in the 1969 Sci-Fi TV series - Star Trek). And how theres one (soul mate) for everyone.Fact: The author and his
Not one of my favorite works of his.
Me? Read a love story? Very out of character for me, but I have always loved this book. I think mostly because it's about real love. Not fairy tale bulls*^t, but terrifying - "I'm exposing myself to you, do not crush me, please" love. The kind you try to sabatoge even though it's wonderful. Read it even if you don't like love stories - if nothing else you get to be a voyeur to a facinating love relationship between 2 adults, that isn't mushy or cheesy.
This book was a find for a quarter or some low price somewhere as a take along for a vacation months ago. I got it as Jonathan Livington Seagull has stuck with me in my mind for decades. I though why not??As it turns out I am at a point in my life where I wonder if I will be alone the rest of my life or will I find someone "special". This love story has given me hope. Right now, that is enough.Enjoy it!!!!!
When your partner (whom is everything you look for in a partner) recommends you read a book (particularly a love story, I think), you should read it.There are plenty of love stories in the world. Perhaps too many. Too many, because they tend to focus on the beginnings of romantic love, the dizzy honeymoon phase when things are buttercups and rainbows and they get married, The End. This book does not end as soon as the romance is formed. It is a story of two real people, and how they struggled
