Authentic Media When Oceans Roar: Powerful True Stories of
Book SynopsisWhen Oceans Roar tells the remarkable stories of people who heard the still small voice of God, and saw God do amazing things when they took God at his word and surrendered themselves to him. The stories told in this book represent roads that few people would have chosen. Yet having said 'yes' to God, and taken the first step, each one was strengthened, empowered and equipped for the journey ahead. It includes the story of a couple who prayed over their child who had no heart beat for three days in the sure knowledge that God would meet them at their point of need, and of a Bangladeshi freedom fighter taken before a firing squad only to learn that God had a plan for his life. This is a book that will challenge you to find your true identity, and having done so to step out of complacency and take risks in the sure knowledge that God will never leave you or forsake you as you surrender yourself to him. Be inspired to listen out for the still small voice of God above the ocean's roar.

Floris Books Redemption: Christ's Resurrection and the Future
Book SynopsisOur human consciousness and individuality -- and our potential for freedom of choice -- is possible because we have a physical body, separate from the spiritual realm. But for human beings to continue to develop, we need to reconnect to the divine world. The incarnation, death and resurrection of Christ is what makes this reconnection possible. This profound book, a collection of lectures by Christian Community priest Michael Kientzler, discusses this central mystery of Christianity. He explores the nature of resurrection, and how it ultimately leads to human redemption or salvation. This is a thoughtful, insightful book for those interested in spiritual and inner development.Trade Review'The author portrays the three aspects of the self and their functions in a vivid and lively manner[...] The narratives of the birth of Jesus given by Matthew and Luke is looked at with a fresh eye and originality. It is a joy to find these questions addressed in a straightforward, original and lively manner[...]. It makes a valuable contribution to these matters, demonstrating how taking a comprehensive view of the subject gives enhanced credence to its separate parts[...] Down-to-earth yet profound.'-- Perspectives'An inspiring work and would be a helpful book for those coming new to Christology as well as for others welcoming clarification and research into Christ's "reappearance", thus deepening their understanding.'-- Anthroposophical Society in Great BritainTable of Contents1.

Canterbury Press Norwich The City is my Monastery: A contemporary rule of
Book SynopsisRichard Carter swapped a life of simplicity with an Anglican religious order in the Solomon Islands for parish ministry in one of London's busiest churches, St Martin-in-the-Fields. Seeing a need for monastic values in the centre of the city, he founded the Nazareth Community. Its members gather from everyday life to seek God in contemplation, to acknowledge their dependence on God’s grace and to learn to live openly and generously with all. Part story, part spiritual meditation, The City is My Monastery offers spiritual wisdom for daily life rooted in the Nazareth Community’s seven guiding principles: Silence, Service, Scripture, Sacrament, Sharing, Sabbath Time and Staying.Trade Review‘This wonderful book is both recognizable and startlingly new. What we are given here is not simply another book on ‘spirituality’ but a workbook for living in and with meaning, Christian meaning, Jesus-shaped meaning.’ -- Rowan Williams‘This book is a generous gift. The City is My Monastery is rich and moving reading which warmed my spirit and encouraged me to stay.’ -- The Rt Revd Sarah Mullally, Bishop of London‘This is a book that moved me deeply and will surely strengthen and give heart to many. It is an autobiography of poetry and prayer. Above all, a powerful poetic meditation on meeting God every day on the streets and in the people of London.’ -- Neil MacGregor, founding director of the Humboldt Forum in Berlin, director of the British Museum 2002-2015‘Precious few are the books that accomplish what this masterfully practical and inspiring book accomplishes. Nor do they do so with such grace, depth and unflinching insight. Those who tread the pathless path of contemplation will be grateful to be in Richard Carter’s debt for the gift of this remarkable book.’ -- Martin Laird OSA, author of An Ocean of Light‘The City is my Monastery is beautiful, inspiring, humble and attractive. It is so deeply soaked in loving attention and that is what makes it so infectious.’ -- The Revd Sam Wells, Vicar of St Martin-in-the-Fields‘This is a life-changing book, and needs to be read as it is written - as a prayer.’ -- Sarah Coakley, Norris-Hulse Professor Emerita, University of Cambridge‘There are treasures on every page: wisdom gathered, practised and shared. This book is so readable it could be a quick read, but linger and use it slowly over the months and years. This is a guide to life.’ -- The Rt Revd Nicholas Holtam, Bishop of Salisbury‘This is one of those books that can be a lifetime’s companion, holding before us what we are here for: Life.’ -- Father George Guiver, Community of the Resurrection‘Richard Carter has written a book not of abstract theory but of lived experience and practice. It will inspire urban and rural dwellers alike.’ -- Revd Lucy Winkett Rector St James's Church, Piccadilly

Canterbury Press Norwich The Vanishing Song
Book SynopsisIn The Vanishing Song, trans Christian poet Jay Hulme goes in search of what is all but lost in contemporary faith, the ‘beautiful and holy and wild’ way of the saints, and the alluring, perplexing mystery of the places they chose for themselves – forests, caves, rocky outcrops in the sea. Revelling in the untamed nature of creation and the holiness that is to be found there, these poems celebrate and summon the spirit of those who did unhinged things for God, in order that we might recover a sense of uncontrollable wonder and the danger of the divine as well as its beauty. The Vanishing Song is a call of the wild to faith that is adventurous and unafraid.Trade Review‘Some things can only be expressed in poetry. Jay Hulme’s poems offer otherwise inexpressible truth. My head is bursting with their beauty as they awaken in their reader that of which they speak.' -- Claire Gilbert, author of I Julian'An astonishing collection, at the same time humorous and tender, joyous and sensitive, exploring aspects of the divine from a deeply human perspective.’ -- Joanne Harris‘These shatteringly beautiful poems testify that life, death and resurrection are always tightly entangled, and that God will persist after all the stones and bones have crumbled.’ -- Professor Susannah Cornwall‘Jay makes the numinous real.’ -- Dr Nicolete Burbach

Inter-Varsity Press Tending To My Thoughts: A Doctor with Severe
Book SynopsisTending to My Thoughts continues the story of Sharon Hastings, a medical doctor and Christian living with severe mental illness. Her personal experience of recovery offers a starting point to help readers think through what recovery could look like for them or their loved ones. Peppered with personal anecdotes, shot through with medical knowledge and chock-full of helpful explanation, this book inspires hope and provides evidence that life with mental illness can improve. Sharon Hastings writes to encourage those who walk alongside people who are suffering, as well as to equip individual Christians and churches to effectively support those in recovery, particularly from severe mental illness. 'Wise and real.' Emma Scrivener 'A book that needs to be read by every pastor.' Rachael Newham 'I recommend it unreservedly.' Revd Will van der Hart 'Threaded with realism, practicality and hope.' Mark MeynellTrade Review'Wise and real, this book by Sharon draws on her experience of recovery as a doctor and a patient. It's an honest, practical and very helpful resource for those with severe mental health issues.' -- Emma Scrivener, Author and Blogger'"Tending to My Thoughts" is a book that needs to be read by every pastor. It not only illuminates the reality of living with severe mental illness, but points to the hope that is found in Jesus and the ways in which people can experience recovery even when a cure does not come. For fellow sufferers it provides a wise companion for the journey. Sharon writes with clarity - but more importantly with compassion - and this is a book I will return to time and again.' -- Rachel Newham'Sharon Hastings has followed up her powerful testimony Wrestling with my Thoughts with a book threaded with realism, practicality and, above all, hope. She never resorts to easy answers nor a pretence of plain sailing in her recovery. She is too vulnerably honest for that. But what she does do is to encourage all who read her hard-won words that things can change. A more positive future, even within the darkest constraints of mental illness, is not just possible but available. Thank you Sharon!' -- Mark Meynell, author of When Darkness Seems My Closest Friend, preaching trainer and cultural critic.'A unique and brilliant book full of realism and hope. Sharon walks us through her journey of recovery. She speaks with raw honesty, not hiding her failures or glossing over her pain. Recovery is not simply cure, but living a life that is filled with purpose, and even joy, despite battling mental illness. She examines those tools that she has found helpful, looking at them through a Christian lens. I found the last chapter, on our eternal hope, most encouraging. As you read this book you will find yourself engaged with the story and helped by Sharon's wisdom.' -- Paul Ritchie Pastor, Limerick Baptist Church, and author, Is It Unspiritual To Be Depressed?'Sharon is one of my favourite mental health writers - She is seriously intelligent, deeply practical and disarmingly honest. Tending To My Thoughts exhibits the best of her writing in perhaps the most helpful exploration of serious mental illness that you will ever read. It combines personal account, expert opinion, and vital faith in equal measure. I recommend it unreservedly.' -- Rev Will Van Der Hart, Director Mind and Soul Foundation

Grosvenor House Publishing Ltd Transcending Worry: Philippians 4:1-13 considered
Book SynopsisCan we transcend worry? How do we find contentment? Is it possible to stand firm when the world around us seems so uncertain? Can we still find hope in God's written word? Transcending Worry takes us on a journey of reflection through some verses from the book of Philippians 4 1-13. Familiar and much loved these wonderful verses written by St Paul to the Church in Philippi give us a lot to think and contemplate: "Do not be anxious about anything...... I have learnt to be content in all circumstances..... stand firm ........". How can these verses help us today? John Bloor, a licensed Reader and preacher in the Church of England, a Christian for over 50 years, a confessed worrier, writes having experienced a "light bulb" moment whilst listening to a talk in church on these particular verses. Inspired and written in a time of great anxiety and worry as Coronavirus swept throughout the world. John very much believed he was called by God to write and share these insights and thoughts with others. Taking several years to complete, consideration is given through personal stories, painful times and life experiences. We are transported to Paris; The Louvre Gallery - a Rembrandt painting, the Arc de Triomphe and Notre Dame Church to help us contemplate and provide thought provoking questions. The book includes contributions, stories and life experiences from Saju Muthalaly, Bishop of Loughborough and other friends and church family members that very much informed John's thinking and writing. We are called to serve our faithful and loving God. What does this mean? A closer look at the Rembrandt painting, The Supper at Emmaus, we are challenged to think and reflect on what we might bring to the table.

Ebury Publishing Made For Goodness: And why this makes all the
Book SynopsisIn Made for Goodness, Archbishop Desmond Tutu explains that, though we sometimes act out of depravity and despair, we do know in our heart of hearts that we are not as we were meant to be, and were created to be so much more. The truth of human goodness can get hidden under the fear that we cannot live up to its demands, or it can get buried under faults or failures, or it can just get forgotten. In this thoughtful and important book, the Archbishop (with his daughter, Mpho Tutu) shows how we can find our way back to goodness by changing our attitudes, by practising forgiveness, and by prayer. Then we will begin to see the goodness and beauty of others... If our view changes, this in turn alters the way we act. And how we act towards each other affects not only ourselves but everything in our world - for the better.Trade ReviewEven with the incredible trauma and cruelty Archbishop Tutu endured in South Africa during apartheid and the many atrocities he has witnessed in his life, he still radiates love and happiness. This wonderful new book is a great gift to the world and will help all of us celebrate our goodness and oneness * Sir Richard Branson, founder and chairman of the Virgin Group *As the author so clearly and beautifully says in this book, "anyone can choose to cultivate compassion." Thank you Archbishop Tutu for helping us all come back home to our true nature, which is inherently good and whole, and touch the peace that is always there for us * Thich Nhat Hanh, author of The Miracle of Mindfulness *Desmond Tutu has walked the talk all his adult life. We can all be grateful that, together with his daughter Mpho, he has now shared his secrets for why he has so much hope and joy * Mary Robinson, former president of Ireland *

Collective Ink View Through The Medicine Wheel, The – Shamanic
Book Synopsis"The View Through the Medicine Wheel" is a magnificent reflection on how to live creative, healthy and happy lives. We are all on a great journey - how different would your life be if you had a good map? Native American wisdom teachings of the Medicine Wheel explain how the Cosmos works and our place in it. Our ancestors saw the world in terms of circles and life cycles. The Star Maiden's Circle reflects life through the eight directions. This book of life maps shows you how to avoid pitfalls and master your own self. It presents the circle of the Egioc self - how we create a life of problems and dramas - and the circle of the Authentic self which teaches how to develop away from old habits and addictions. The Medicine Wheel culminates in the Twenty Count which is the Cosmos revealed in all its beauty and complexity. Shamanism is spiritual, ecological and psychological. No other book does full justice to the fabulous medicine wheel teachings.

Oneworld Publications The Fifth Dimension: An Exploration of the
Book SynopsisMany of us today are all too willing to accept a humanist and scientific account of the universe which considers human existence as a fleeting accident. The triumph of John Hick’s gripping work is his exposure of the radical insufficiency of this view. Drawing on mystical and religious traditions ancient and modern, and spiritual thinkers as diverse as Julian of Norwich and Mahatma Ghandi, he has produced a tightly argued and thoroughly readable case for a bigger, more complete, picture of reality in which a fifth, spiritual dimension, plays a central role. ‘Essential reading for anyone concerned with spirituality in the modern world’ Professor Keith Ward, University of Oxford Erudite, provocative and deeply moving, Hick’s persuasive narrative will prompt all curious readers to re-examine their own spiritual horizons.‘This stimulating book opens up many fundamental issues that must concern everyone. It deserves to be widely read. ‘ Expository Times ‘Learned, lucid and engaging, easy to read and easy to applaud for its sheer clarity of style and its breadth of interest, even when one disagrees with it!’ Anvil

Christian Focus Publications Ltd Miraculous Healing: Why does God heal some and
Book Synopsis"Frost sees all healing as coming from God. Miraculous indicates that healing takes place apart from means. He is anxious to "hold all truth in careful equipoise" and writes "in constant prayer". "He presents five cases of healing in which he was involved and parallels them with five cases where the same conditions obtained but healing did not occur. That drove him to bring his belief to the test of the Word of God. "He looks carefully at the teaching of those who claim that the wholeness of salvation includes physical healing for all as well as spiritual. He examines the texts they use and points out where they appear to err, weighing up the arguments for inevitable healing. He sees the Epistle of James as being written to an emerging Jewish Christian church, "spiritually undeveloped", and the instructions in chapter five permissive rather than mandatory."The post-Resurrection promises apply to the apostles only. Miracles were to provide indisputable evidence that Jesus was the Messiah more than an expression of deep compassion, though they were that as well. "Among his general conclusions he makes it clear that Christ heals today but exercises His own loving sovereignty in so doing - "Christ will choose health, strength and length of days...the saint is ever to remain submissive to God's will whatever this may mean". The book ends with a moving testimony of healing within his own family." Taken from a review by Evangelism magazine.Trade Review"This is easily and incomparably the best book I have ever read on this subject." -- Martin Lloyd Jones (Martyn Lloyd-Jones (1899-1981) Westminster Chapel in London, England from 1938-68.).. classic book on healing... the book springs from personal experience but always seeks to measure that experience against scripture. In the midst of controversy it lead me to consider Jesus. I think you might be glad you read it too. -- Triple Helix- For today's Christian doctorThis is a good little book on the subject of healing that is worthy of being read by anyone interested in the subject. It is a book which was written before its time, but one quickly gets used to his style of writing as his theories on important issues unfold. He presents a number of interesting thoughts on such subjects as 'Why are some peopled healed and others not healed?' and 'Who should or should not be involved in ministry?' Henry Frost adheres very much to the Scriptures throughout this book. I would strongly recommend it to all who are interested in healing. -- The Rutherford Journal of Church & Ministry"This double-edged sword of Scripture and personal experience cuts through thickets of error and misconception to present one of the clearest discussions about miraculous healing of which I know" -- Joni Eareckson Tada (Activist for the disabled and author of Joni, the award-winning Tell Me the Promises, and other classics)

Templeton Foundation Press,U.S. Possibilities for Over One Hundredfold More
Book SynopsisSir John Templeton challenges the reader to apply the same energy that has been devoted to scientific inquiry to the pursuit of spiritual information. The world is at a state of unprecedented technical expertise, but why has our knowledge and faith in our own spirituality stalled and become obsolete in recent times?Possibilities for Over One Hundredfold More Spiritual Information seeks to address this question. It points out that our spiritual knowledge would also have the capacity to increase dramatically if we were to open our minds to the endless possibilities that await us in terms of our spiritual lives. These include altruistic love for all people, new knowledge of the Divine, and a greater sense of our place in the universe. In order for us as human beings to take advantage of all of the spiritual gifts that we have been given, we need to be open and receptive to our individual spiritual natures, and to open ourselves to the limitless spiritual possibilities available to us.The book acknowledges the ancient scriptures and thinkers who have guided us for centuries. Vastly expanded research and the use of scientific method would only enhance our understanding of the wisdom contained within these wise teachings. The benefits of extending our spiritual knowledge might, in fact, exceed the benefits we have realized thus far from scientific and medical advances.Possibilities seeks to reawaken our desire for spiritual knowledge pushed aside so long ago in our quest for scientific knowledge. When these fields work together, the world will reap greater rewards that we can ever imagine.Table of ContentsPreface / viiCHAPTER ONE An Introduction for Humble Researchers / 3CHAPTER TWO Humble About What? / 13CHAPTER THREE What Benefits from Humility? / 28CHAPTER FOUR Creation Through Change / 40CHAPTER FIVE When Is a Blossoming Time of Humanity? / 51CHAPTER SIX The Vast Unseen / 63CHAPTER SEVEN Progressing Concepts of the Mystery of Time / 89CHAPTER EIGHT Possibilities for Spiritual Progress? / 100CHAPTER NINE Love, Humility and Free Competition Accelerate Discoveries / 118CHAPTER TEN Can Earth Serve as a School? / 130CHAPTER ELEVEN Creative Thinking for Increasing Discoveries / 139CHAPTER TWELVE Infinite Intellect: Some Questions for Fruitful Research / 148CHAPTER THIRTEEN What Are Laws of Spiritual Growth? / 153Notes / 169APPENDIXES

Temple Lodge Publishing The Tree of Life and the Holy Grail: Ancient and
Book SynopsisRecent works of fiction and popular history have promoted the idea that the Holy Grail symbolizes a physical bloodline resulting from the union of Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene. This, supposedly, is the 'secret' that esoteric movements have kept tirelessly for the past 2,000 years. From her groundbreaking research, Sylvia Francke exposes this notion to be a blatant misinterpretation of the mystery traditions that preceded and ran parallel to the birth of Christianity. She traces the ancient spiritual paths of knowledge from the Cathars, the Knights Templar and the enigmatic Rosicrucians, to the work of Rudolf Steiner in the twentieth century. Here, she concludes, is true Grail knowledge: the Tree of Life and the Holy Grail itself explained in their metaphysical context. From her research, she suggests a solution to the riddle of the sudden wealth and strange behaviour of Berenger Sauniere, the mysterious priest of Rennes-le-Chateau in southern France. True Grail knowledge, she concludes, has nothing to do with bloodlines or worldly status, but is an ancient lifeline to the spiritual origins of creation. Its energetic forces ray up from the earth and down from the constellations and planets while interacting with individual human beings. It holds the key to the fulfilment of mankind's quest, a step to the next phase of human evolution...The recent explosion of interest in an alternative history of Christianity - the shadow Grail - prompted Sylvia Francke to revise "The Tree of Life and the Holy Grail", first published in 1996. The result is a completely reworked and expanded book that constitutes a powerful and convincing refutation of distorted esoteric truths.

Messenger Publications Open Heart Open Arms: Welcoming Migrants to
Book SynopsisThe aim of this booklet is to help foster an understanding of the plight of migrants that leads to action in the local faith community. Understanding of the role of the Christian towards the ever more present reality of migration and of the great Catholic tradition of hospitality is more important than ever, especially if we want or desire to make the appropriate response. The actions may not change situations in the homelands from which people migrated in the first place but the action we undertake in our neighbourhood where we live together can have amazing impacts for the stranger, for us and for our community, eventually influencing policy via our mutual understanding of the way our world is functioning or not functioning. The information in this booklet will hopefully help nurture the instincts of those who wish to make a difference in the face of the current crisis which brings with it so much tragedy.

With simple yet shattering words, Stephen Turoff seeks to awaken us to knowledge that already resides deep in our hearts: that God is love and love is God.

They discover that they are all grandmothers who know little about psychic or spiritual worlds. What do they want? To keep a good face on things; `things' being quite a lot of difficult issues...

Clairview Books Nature Spirits of the Trees and What They Want to
Book Synopsis`People often ask us about the best way to come close to nature and the beings enchanted within it. One way to do so is through wonder and astonishment, to open our senses fully to nature's beauty and wisdom. And here we can encounter entities that most closely resemble human beings - the trees.' Verena has learned to communicate with elemental and nature beings, and to translate their language into terms we can understand. In her remarkable book Nature Spirits and What They Say, she conversed with a range of beings, including spirits of fire, air, water and stone. In this new volume, we hear from trees, the nature spirits that in many ways are most similar to human beings. Through Verena's remarkable clairvoyant abilities, conversations with different tree species - such as sweet cherry, rowan, elm and common oak - are relayed. These communications reveal compelling insights into the role of trees within the natural world and their relationships with the vegetable, animal, human and spirit kingdoms. Particular emphasis is placed on the characteristics of trees that correspond with qualities of the human soul, such as the oak's connection to individualism. The tree spirits want to speak, and are responsive all kinds of questions, such as their roles in the landscape, their specific shapes, on problems that affect them in particular, and on urgent issues that are relevant to all beings on earth, such as climate change. The interviews disclose beautiful, fascinating and often challenging insights, offering inspiration to help us build more constructive relationships to these wonderful entities.Table of ContentsAbout the Authors - Foreword Participating Beings - Theabrox, the Great Timber - The tree in material terms - Human being and tree - Tree spirits, tenders and other elemental beings - Contacting tree beings - The Black Cherry (Prunus serotina) - The Sweet Cherry (Prunus avium) - The Cherry Plum (Prunus cerasifera) - The Black Elder (Sambucus nigra) - The Rowan Tree (Sorbus aucuparia) - The Norway Maple (Acer platanoides) - The Sycamore (Acer pseudoplatanus) - The Field Maple (Acer campestre) - The Silver Maple (Acer saccharinum) - The Black Alder (Alnus glutinosa) - The Grey Alder (Alnus incana) - The Common Horse Chestnut (Aesculus hippocastum) - The Sweet or Edible Chestnut (Castanea sativa) - The Poplar (Populus) - The Aspen (Populus tremula) - The Grey Poplar (Populus canescens) - Crown, the tree tender - The London Plane (Platanus acerifolia) - The Large-leaved Lime or Linden (Tilia platphyllos) - The Caucasian Lime (Tilla x euchlora) - The Ash (Fraxinus excelsior) - The European Beech (Fagus sylvatica) - The Pendula or Weeping Beech (Fagus sylvatica forma pendula) - The Copper Beech (Fagus sylvatica forma purpurea) - The Hornbeam (Carpinus betulus) - The Elm (Ulmus) - The Black Locust or False Acacia (Robinia pseudoacacia) - The Honey Locust (Gleditsia triacanthos) - The Silver or Weeping Birch (Betula pendula) - The White Willow (Salix alba) - The English or Common Oak (Quercus robur) - The Red Oak (Quercus rubra) - The Pomegranate (Punica granatum) - The Soapberry (Sapindus mukorossi) - The Frankincense (Boswellia sacra) - The Palo Santo or Vera Wood (Bulnesia arborea) - The Olive (Olea europaea)

Clairview Books The Enchanted Garden: Conscious Gardening with
Book SynopsisHealer and ‘plant spirit whisperer’ Zorah Cholmondeley seeks to revolutionize the way we view our gardens and the natural world. Introducing the faery realms, she invites us to witness the tremendous variety and interplay of life-forms connected to the earth. Beyond the fae, she speaks of gnomes, dragons, angels and entities such as the Master Pan, all of whom have a unique part to play in the dynamics and health of our planet. And, it is their fondest wish that we should become aware of them! In The Enchanted Garden, Zorah shows how we can become allies with the fae and other nature guardians - to co-create a world with infinite possibilities for love, joy and togetherness. In a series of short chapters, she portrays faery history, introduces her muse Queen Maeve, explains how to create a garden for the faeries, discusses fears of connecting to the fae and the importance of fun and reverie, suggests how crystals can be used in the garden, describes the significance of weather, the moon, seasonal festivals, and much more. In the second part of the book she presents communications from the spirit beings of dozens of plants and trees - from aconitum to the yew tree - with meditations and spiritual insights. Can we learn to be sufficiently still in order to listen with our hearts to the natural world all around us, including the subtle ecosphere of the fae? This book is for anyone who seeks to relate to nature and their gardens more consciously.Trade Review'The Enchanted Garden will help you transform your garden into a sacred portal of elemental communication.

Clairview Books Swan Wings: A Spiritual Autobiography - Part I:
Book Synopsis'They only awoke when the fire came through the roof...'. The words of the news presenter jolt the toddler into wakefulness. Arousing to consciousness from a twilight of hidden memories, she asks: Who am I, and where was my consciousness before it entered my body? In the first volume of her extraordinary true story, Judith von Halle tells of powerful spiritual experiences as a child and young person. Still in her third year, she begins to see the world with different eyes, observing things that people around here clearly cannot see - like the multicoloured currents of life - which her child's mind calls the 'magical life-force' - or the ability to maintain consciousness whilst asleep, or perceiving grotesque faces at the threshold to what she calls the 'World of Reality'. All the time, she is nourished by the 'venerable Light' that gives her strength and encouragement. As a 10-year-old, the young girl has a shattering soul encounter that reveals the universal source of wisdom and love, offering a pathway to her search for wholeness. In her private thoughts she mulls over existential, philosophical questions such as life and death, transience, love and God. Yet in the everyday she has to navigate between what she calls the 'day-theatre-world' and what she knows as the 'World of Reality'. She finds consolation in the realms of poetry, philosophy and art and experiences a breakthrough in her thinking, but it is not until the age of 25 that she is able to share her secret world of metaphysical knowledge. She discovers a group of people who have embraced an open-minded philosophy in which she finds astonishing correspondences with her own spiritual understanding. Here, she finds the concept of reincarnation, which brings her full circle - back to her original awakening to self-consciousness... Swan Wings is a courageous, moving and inspiring testimony to the immortal spiritual individuality of the human being, its origins, capacity and full potential.Table of ContentsChildhood and Youth - Afterword - Appendix I: From the Child's Diary (Facsimiles) - Appendix II: Additions to the Text

Filament Publishing Ltd The Difference: To know the difference is to be
Book SynopsisEnigmatic to her in nature, she spent years looking for the answer... The answer was out there, it had been looking for her. It's been looking for you...Now it's found you... Based on a true encounter I explain that we live in a world crafted from perspectives. It is not in our power to judge a situation right or wrong as we cannot or were never made competent to see the whole picture. To not see the whole picture is to not see the truth. (That's why the bible tells us we must lean not on our own understanding)I explain how arguments and wars are created where one person insists to press through their perspective on another and that when we can free ourselves from the judgments of others, it is this that will bring us the inner peace and the freedom to connect with our authentic self and become all that God has intended us to be.The book further explains that whilst we are busy bickering as to who/what is right or wrong, we miss the TRUTH - i.e. the outcome that has been pre-destined for us by an all knowing God. In essence we miss the purpose for that which we were created.Trade ReviewLisa Nichols refers to Valerie's 'Eve's Story' as written in The Blind Spot as 'phenomenal'.

'You have a secret power and this book shows you how to harness and use it! 'She's Got That Vibe' uncovers an age-old secret. So brace yourself to be enlightened! ;Raymond Aaron New York Times Best-Selling Author, Branding Small Business for Dummies, One of the very few filmed for The Secret ; Valerie is such an inspirational speaker. She really does leave you wanting more. Refreshing, aspirational with such clarity in her delivery. A great speaker overall. Elaine Rhule Founder of Designer Cakes of London ; After reading The Difference I realised that Valerie was touching a subject that many of us who have become successful and those who have not become successful attack every day and that is 'self-sabotage'. This book allows you and forces you to focus on self-discovery. This book is a master-piece. I love her methodology on how she goes from the spiritual to the physical and makes it such an easy read. Bennie Randall Jr CEO Bshani Radio App/Investor ; Valerie teaches that stillness of the mind enables us to hear our spiritual expression, which views the world through a different lens.
