I am grateful to share with you the awards, recognitions, early endorsements, and selected reviews that UniverSoul Promises: Foundations for Creating the Conditions Our Children Need to Thrive in Times of Transformation received.
I hope it will help you decide if the UniverSoul Promises Book is calling your heart or not 🙂
Efrat’s book is a doorway. A doorway into the world of relation, connection, and immense wisdom. It is an invitation to reconfigure and redefine your inner landscape. It expands the terrain you navigate from, adding new ground that feels alive, fertile, and nourishing. With The UniverSoul Promises, Efrat offers not a rigid path, but a compass—one you can use in your own way to better understand yourself, your children, and the connection between you.
This book is unique in many ways. It speaks to the reader on all levels of existence: It offers the path of myth, it lays down a clear and solid grid to walk upon as you explore each promise, one by one, and it beautifully weaves these insights into daily life, bringing practice and presence into every moment that you spend with yourself or your children.
I felt invited by this book—guided, held, and inspired. And what if… this is exactly what is going to happen to you…”

“Having read and endorsed Efrat’s first book, The Promise We Made — her moving account of a near-death experience and spiritual awakening — I found UniverSoul Promises to be the natural next step. This book goes deeper into the how: how to live as a spiritually aware parent, how to weave awareness into everyday moments, and how to honor both our children and ourselves. Efrat has a gift for distilling profound lessons into concepts that feel both accessible and deeply resonant.
I, too, believe our children are gifts, and that parenting offers us a chance to reparent the parts of ourselves that longed for something different. Each day we are invited to choose who we will be, and UniverSoul Promises is a wise and compassionate guide for making those choices with love, awareness, and intention — shaping the legacy we leave behind. Our inheritance is not our destiny — and we get to choose differently. Efrat reminds us that every challenge is an opportunity. Struggle does not have to mean suffering; it is how we choose to meet life’s difficulties that shapes who we become. Just as a baby chick must push its way out of the shell to survive, we, too, grow stronger, more resilient, and capable of moving beyond what we once believed was the edge of possibility. And when we do the work of healing ourselves, we also help heal the collective and our shared Earth.
Efrat beautifully reminds us that we are not separate from Mother Earth — that our growth, our parenting, and our healing are deeply intertwined with the environment we are part of. This is important work — and Efrat is a beautiful guide who has walked through the fire and returned with humility and grace, not only for herself but for you too.”

“UniverSoul Promises” is more than a book. It is a heart-offering from a mother, a healer, and a soul who has journeyed to the edge of life and returned with treasures of wisdom. Efrat writes with the tenderness of someone who has lived the depth of love, and the spiritual knowing of one who has touched the beyond. Each chapter feels like sitting by a warm fire, listening to a timeless story passed down through generations. Her words radiate love, and her guidance is both grounding, inspiring and uplifting. The downloadable workbook and affirmations are a beautiful addition, inviting you into deep introspection and tangible action toward healing and empowerment.
This is not just a parenting book. It is a guide to self-love, ancestral healing, and showing up more present and whole for your children. It bridges universal spiritual truths with practical wisdom, weaving in indigenous perspectives and heartfelt, relatable stories. Parenting may not come with a manual, but if it did, this is the one I would recommend. “UniverSoul Promises” is a gift for you, your children, and the generations before and after you. It is a book to be read slowly, savored deeply, and returned to often. Its wisdom will ripple through your family for lifetimes to come.”
“Efrat has written another beautiful book, UniverSoul Promises, which is a continuation of her first book. I absolutely love her writing style and the insights she provides. I highly recommend this book to many people because it deeply understands what our children truly need from us. It explores why they are here and how we can address the doubts we sometimes have, often through a simple fable. After reading this book, I now see my children in a completely different light. I offer them much more warmth and understanding regarding their soul’s purpose.
Thank you, Efrat, for your heartfelt writing that truly heals. […] In these changing times, discussions like the ones in Efrat’s book are essential. Our children will be better supported once many parents, especially mothers, have access to this book.”

“UniverSoul Promises took my awareness to a deeper level. One sentence especially stayed with me: ‘As children we offer our parents and environment invitations for realigning and remembering.’ I experienced this so clearly with my daughter. Without this lens, I might have completely missed the deeper meaning of what was happening.” – Verified reader, Germany
Shokef shares stories from her own journey, including transformational moments and case studies from families she’s worked with around the world. These stories ground the spiritual ideas in real human experience, making the book accessible even for readers who may be new to spiritual parenting.
Another powerful thread running through the book is the reminder of our connection to the Earth. Shokef shows how children thrive when their environment honors both their human and spiritual sides—when imagination is encouraged, when intuition is trusted, and when parents lead with compassion over fear.
The journaling prompts, reflective exercises, and affirmations woven throughout the text make this an experiential read. You don’t just read UniverSoul Promises—you actively participate in it. It’s the kind of book you return to again and again because each reading meets you at a new place in your parenting journey.
UniverSoul Promises is for anyone who senses that parenting is more than schedules and milestones—that it is, at its heart, a soul partnership. This is a beautiful and meaningful guide for parents raising sensitive, intuitive, creative children—or for anyone who wants to reconnect with the essence of what it means to guide another human being with love.” Literary Global
