Editorial Reviews
Review
"David Karchere's Becoming a Sun is a sun; it literally shone through my heart the moment I began to read it. It is the sun of light, love, the radiance of Source glowing through each of us. With this book we are able to feel the sun within us. It is always true, but often so hard to remember. I consider the poems within it to be vital gifts to all who are emerging today, guiding our world toward greater love and oneness."
~ Barbara Marx Hubbard ~
Foundation for Conscious Evolution
"This book is so well written. David is such a great teacher. Reading Becoming a Sun is like having him sitting right next to you, explaining things clearly, calmly and compassionately. This is some wonderful learning made easy."
~ Cliff Barry ~
Founder, Shadow Work
"It is pretty safe to say that never before in modern times has the world needed David Karchere's insightful and uplifting reflection of the human spirit quite as much as it does right now. Becoming a Sun offers a new way of understanding how the light that shines within us all will also illuminate the path that lies ahead in life's wondrous journey. Simply put, Becoming a Sun is a warm-hearted gift to the reader, a proclamation of the very best that is humanly possible."
~ Paul Bassis ~
Producer, The Arise Music and Camping Festival
"Becoming a Sun is an affirmation of the unlimited potential of humanity. In heart-felt poetry and lucid prose, David Karchere dispels the illusions that keep people separate. His words reconnect the reader with the Divine Essence and inner wisdom that lead to oneness. And he shares a brilliant recipe for personal and global transformation. The world needs this book!"
~ Steve Farrell ~
Worldwide Executive Director, Humanity's Team
"Wonderful poet, author, workshop leader, composer, teacher, and much more, David Karchere is a man to meet, hear, appreciate, and now READ. Having always deeply valued his inspirational talks and poetry, I am delighted to know I can now find them both in one place and share these with many friends. Becoming a Sun is all about how to provide a crucial difference in the world and the book may just be that crucial difference in your own life. At a time when many people are feeling defeated, here is a way to know personal victory."
~ Dr. Tom Cooper ~
Co-publisher, MEDIA ETHICS magazine Professor, Emerson College
"I am so glad to endorse this book! Being born and having lived on the African Continent all my life, I know the fire and powerful influence of the Sun--the life-giving outer Sun. David Karchere's book, Becoming a Sun, invites all people to become Sun builders, by igniting the inner Sun that lives within the core of ourselves. I know that I carry that fire inside me.
"What is contained in David's book is a compelling and powerful invitation issued at this crucial time on our planet. Civilizations have come and gone, and despite all the new technological advances, we are still in dire need of a radical and powerful transformation to restore our world to its natural life-giving order. I believe that this book provides an assured map for those interested in unlocking primal knowledge in bringing our natural gifts of 'warmth, light and gravitas' to each other, and beyond us into the natural world."
~ Anne-Lise Bure ~
Managing Director, The Novalis Ubuntu Institute
"I have long admired David Karchere's genuine nature and his sincerity and passion as a spiritual director. Becoming a Sun is a glowing book about the beautiful essence and potential for life contributions that reside within each of us. Reading it will surely inspire you to radiate your unique gifts."
~ Jim Sharon, Ed.D. ~
Psychologist, author and Coach for Soulful Couples
"David nailed it in this book. Becoming the Sun is a growth and transformation process we ALL go through in life. We all are made to shine and this book provides a beautiful combination of poetic inspiration, metaphorical enchantment, sound advice and a beautiful philosophy to live from. Bravo David Karchere. Thank you for bringing this work to the world."
~ George Carroll ~
Changing the World, One Audience at a Time
"Though one's spiritual practice can be a solitary endeavor, David knows--and all of us eventually realize--that it takes us on a journey to serve fully for the good of all. This journey takes courage as each one of us has to embrace who we truly are and step into the life that is calling us. David's book, Becoming a Sun, is a clear and compassionate companion for anyone needing support as they pursue this awakening. I highly recommend it."
~ Sarah McLean ~
Director, Meditation Teacher Academy
"At the core of this book is the simple yet potent assertion that the world we experience is itself the product of our collective consciousness. Especially now, as global crises compound, this insight into our most fundamental creative capacities sheds a radiant light on the road ahead, providing valuable guidance on how to let our own suns shine."
~ Emanuel Kuntzelman ~
President, Greenheart International

Becoming a Sun shows us how to make our changes day by day - moment by moment from the heart. Choosing to read and learn from this book and this process - is a gift to ones own unfolding.

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase
So often an inspirational book requires you to search for the gold. Not true in Becoming a Sun. I found the personal stories, the poetry and the themes extremely relevant. Even if I was familiar with the idea being presented something deep within me was stirred to greater knowing and I felt intimately connected to the truth of who I am and how I can see that in others.
There is nothing like simple recipes for transformation. I didn't have to read the whole book to get the big idea. It was delivered on every page accessible to my mind and heart.
This book was quite a gift to myself.

…. This is the most uplifting, personal, creative, and truthful book I have read since reading books like the Tao, the Bhagavad Gita and the works of the late Martin Cecil. Blending poetry, prose, Images, and what might be called Divine inspiration-made-human-expression, Karchere keeps “lifting me higher and higher” as the song goes. It is written such that, if you only have a minute, there is just the right poem or paragraph, but if you have an hour, there are essays and meditations which are mood-altering if not life-changing. It only looks like a book – it is actually an elevator which takes you to the great lighthouse in the sky. Another inspiring author, G.K., Chesterton, entitled one of his books WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS -- and he forgot to add that it is David Karchere’s book entitled BECOMING A SUN!

I am using this book for a book study with several of my spiritual friends. We are all loving the book and its fresh approach to many common spiritual themes. I have convinced several ministers to buy the book based on my comments and praise. David is the essence of creativity as he presents the material and ideas in prose, poems, drawings, and personal stories. I am on my third reading and I keep seeing more connections and gaining new insights with each pass through the book. This book is truly a gift to humanaity!

I've read a lot of spiritual/self-help books (no need to judge me...). This one ranks up with the better ones. It's an easy read, you might even say a pleasant read, and has some original perspectives.

As a primary care physician, I see how I and so many of my patients struggle with external stresses to stay optimistic, to nurture loved ones and ourselves, and then are brought low by debilitating self-criticism. As a citizen, increasingly of the world, rather than the nation state, I see how our species tends to see the planet in terms of scarcity instead of plenitude and we compete for resources rather than stewarding the planet.
“Becoming A Sun” invites us to perceive ourselves as Suns, sharing our warmth and light with those we love, in our workplace, our communities and the world. David, the author, describes in lucid, eloquent language the paths and metaphors which have become his personal journey of discovery. The book built on years of teaching workshops and refinement of his ideas, is a guidebook for the rest of us. It is very readable and clear with personal anecdotes to illustrate many of his points. I think we are at a critical juncture in the world’s history where David’s invitation to understand and transcend our fears and to lead out of love rather than competition will help build the scaffolding for movements and policies to cherish ourselves and the planet.

I read this and I did not become the Sun I expected! I am a devout follower of David and his cult, but I really feel like this fell flat. I wanted more drum circles, more aimless chanting, and much much more meaningless demagoguery from David. 1 star because I'm still convinced that his manipulative nepotism and insane ideas are still worth reading!
