“This book represents a tremendous amount of work and personal passion to help others learn spiritual truths/lessons from their own experiences in the quickest and easiest away. This is laudatory, Lesley. The very fact that you have written this means that it is already out there in the ethers benefiting others and helping to make their spiritual journeys easier. So bless you and this work you have done.”

The Midas Tree is something special. It was written as a book for children, but every adult I know that has read it finds themselves pondering what they've read, reminded of powerful spiritual lessons they may have learned, or only partially learned, that The Midas Tree brings back to them.

It's a gentle book - it doesn't push you, it doesn't preach. Yet it's a book that could be an "anchor in a storm". It reminded me of Richard Bach's Illusions - another book so full of wisdom that I'll return to it periodically and always be grateful for the visit. If only all of our lessons in life were so pleasant to learn! I'll send my nephews each a copy of The Midas Tree when they're about eight. I believe this book is a kind gift for any growing child, any adult with stress in their life... anyone who's still growing, really.

I was quite pleasantly surprised when I read your book, The Midas Tree. It kept me involved with the hero Joshua from the moment I picked it up. It was profound yet fun to read and kept me wanting to come back for more.

The principles of grounding, centering, earth energy, cosmic energy, creating your own reality, clear seeing, symbol interpretation, inner vision, creating and destroying energy, communicating as spirit, healing, compassion, self love, patience, creative energy…. are all so relevant to our spiritual and metaphysical consciousness and growth in the 21st century. It begs me to ask, are you planning a workbook follow up? You must know people would love it.

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to read the manuscript of your book that will be published soon. It was quite a sensation to go through the stages of a meditation class through a child’s perspective. The journey of Joshua inside the tree is a wonderful allegory of life. I would recommend this book to anyone who is new to meditation.

This brilliantly layered and illustrated spiritual adventure was written for kids of all ages and may be a delightful reminder of the Harry Potter series. Like Harry, Joshua embarks on a journey of magic and empowerment, learning to cultivate his spiritual strengths by tackling various obstacles within The Midas Tree. His teachers are like fairy tale characters, so full of inspiration and love that by the time you reach the end, you'll want to start applying all the teachings.

Author Dr. Lesley Phillips has written a fantasy that will appeal to the child in all of us. The Midas Tree is a fascinating story of discovery and adventure, yet between the lines it gently teaches and reinforces lessons of personal responsibility and personal empowerment. This is the kind of book that will be reread throughout life… and it will be “a light in dark places” as life’s inevitable challenges occur.

The spiritual messages that come through in this book are truly amazing too.  You don't even realize you are learning as you read this fictional story, but you are.  I found myself "transforming" like Joshua was as he learned from the Devas and all the other wonderful characters.  I stopped to reflect on his lessons myself as I was reading through the book...I highly recommend this book to anyone of any age to read or read with a parent or adult.  I think a lot can be taken from this book to use in our real lives.  Very enjoyable and inspiring book and a MUST read!!

The Midas Tree is a new style of story that I became totally absorbed in. Lesley read to the reading group I was with. The characters are multi-faceted and the artwork is very explanatory and beautifully executed. It was great to read a book I can sit and enjoy with my older grandchildren - and they will enjoy it too. I can't wait for November so that we can enjoy it - virtually for them - and a nice book for me. I hope this is just the first of many from Dr. Lesley Phillips

Not only is "The Midas Tree" a captivating story that kept me at the edge of my seat wanting to know what happens next, but it is one that can also serve as a unique and effective reference manual for acquainting one to their intuitive and psychic senses. Phillip's novel can be enjoyed by a wide range of individuals with diverse experiences and interests, and can be interpreted on a variety of levels.
