The Way of the Rose


Book Description

What happens when a former Zen Buddhist monk and his feminist wife experience an apparition of the Virgin Mary? “This book could not have come at a more auspicious time, and the message is mystical perfection, not to mention a courageous one. I adore this book.”—Caroline Myss, author of Anatomy of the Spirit Before a vision of a mysterious “Lady” invited Clark Strand and Perdita Finn to pray the rosary, they were not only uninterested in becoming Catholic but finished with institutional religion altogether. Their main spiritual concerns were the fate of the planet and the future of their children and grandchildren in an age of ecological collapse. But this Lady barely even referred to the Church and its proscriptions. Instead, she spoke of the miraculous power of the rosary to transform lives and heal the planet, and revealed the secrets she had hidden within the rosary’s prayers and mysteries—secrets of a past age when forests were the only cathedrals and people wove rose garlands for a Mother whose loving presence was as close as the ground beneath their feet. She told Strand and Finn: The rosary is My body, and My body is the body of the world. Your body is one with that body. What cause could there be for fear? Weaving together their own remarkable story of how they came to the rosary, their discoveries about the eco-feminist wisdom at the heart of this ancient devotion, and the life-changing revelations of the Lady herself, the authors reveal an ancestral path—available to everyone, religious or not—that returns us to the powerful healing rhythms of the natural world.

When You Look in the Face of the Rose


Book Description

This channeled writing is the first of four books channeled through Sylvia Runkle by a Spirtit Guide identified as Jonathan. However, the channeling seems to come from a group more than from a single entitiy. The book revolves around Sylvias first two of four training trips to Russia in the mid 90s, but are not really about these trips. The essence of the message seems to be about raising the vibrational level of the people of Earth as well as of the Earth itself. In Book 4 we read Earth must raise vibration level, must entrain in one direction. When the vibrations reach a critical mass, Mankind can make the shift into its next reality. The message is at the same time spiritual and practical in a day to day way. The reader is actually listening in to a message directed to Sylvia. The beginning is a somewhat awkward as Sylvia feels her way into receiving the message. In fact the book ebbs and flows as the connection is stronger or weaker. The awkward parts have been left in to allow an aspiring channeler to get a sense of how it happens. And they are well made up for where the message flows. Sylvias small personal drama mentioned in Book 1, (Will the anticipated, but not confirmed, first trip to Russia actually occur?) is amusingly resolved early in the second book. The channeling ends (at the end of Book 4) as she writes on the plane returning from the second training she presented in Russia. These trips add background, but the message transcends the setting. The channeled writing comes as a rhythm. Each days writing begins with short phrases written as verse as the channeler blends with those coming through, and then switches to a rhythmic prose. The rhythm seems to be an important part of the message and they often encourage saying certain words aloud, such as peace, home and love. The words and the rhythm seem somehow to blend to affect the vibrations of the reader.

Rich Wounds


Book Description

Profound reflections on the cross that help you to meditate on and marvel at the sacrificial love of Jesus. This book can be used as a devotional, especially during Lent and Easter. These profound reflections on the cross from David Mathis, author of The Christmas We Didn’t Expect, will help you to meditate on and marvel at Jesus’ life, sacrificial death, and spectacular resurrection-enabling you to treasure anew who Jesus is and what he has done. Many of us are so familiar with the Easter story that it becomes easy to miss subtle details and difficult to really enjoy its meaning. This book will help you to pause and marvel at Jesus, whose now-glorified wounds are a sign of his unfailing love and the decisive victory that he has won: “He was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.” (Isaiah 53:5) This book can be used as a devotional. The chapters on Holy Week make it especially helpful during the Lent season and at Easter.
