The belief in soul evolution comes from the commonly held assumption that each person is spiritually incomplete, that we have returned to this earthly school for lessons our souls need to move to the next higher level. The Complete Soul: Exposing the Myth of Soul Evolution challenges this belief. Your soul, like the drop of water taken from the ocean, is complete. The spiritual awakening is not about evolution. It is about recovering your soul from the false sense of self and its evolutionary timeline, a perceived barrier between where you think you are and where you want to be. This book takes the position that no such barrier exists. Within these pages, you will discover that you did not come here to learn something from the people, places, and things of this earth. You came for the experience. You came because you had something you wanted to give. The Complete Soul affirms your spiritual wholeness and suggests creative new ways of thinking about your reason for taking on this physical body. As you consider these ideas, you may discover that the fulfillment you seek is a lot closer than you think.

On the path to spiritual understanding, no practice is more important in terms of spiritual transformation than the practices of meditation and prayer. And yet, as in many areas of spiritual discipline, it is as important to know why we pray and meditate as it is to know how. This book answers some common but important questions relating to both the how and the why of these two disciplines. Part I lays the foundation necessary for a positive experience of meditation and prayer. Parts II and III explain the theory and practice of meditation and prayer and give steps for the practice. Part IV offers suggestions on the practical applications of prayer in the areas of healing, prosperity and relationships. Sprinkled liberally with helpful affirmations, inspiring quotation and the author's own wise insights, this book is more than a "how-to." It is a "why-to" that will be a valued companion to anyone seeking a deeper spiritual life through the practices of meditation and prayer.

When novelist Stuart Adams joins an expedition led by Dr. Niki Mikos, a beautiful archaeologist resuming her murdered father's search for an ancient scroll, he doesn't count on romance, getting caught up in a perilous adventure dogged by a homicidal Greek official, an erupting volcano, and sinister forces that will stop at nothing to confiscate the artifact. The scroll, thought to contain the key that could save the last vestiges of a dying civilization and usher in an era of world peace, is lost somewhere in the beautiful setting of the Aegean Sea islands. Clues are scarce, but a series of inexplicable visions lead Stuart and the team to the scroll's location. The discovery is immediately countered by a heinous act of deception that robs the expedition of its hard-earned prize, leaving Stuart and Niki to die on the shores of the erupting volcano. Though they make a narrow escape, other team members are not so lucky. While Niki mourns her losses, Stuart is torn between staying with her and going back to a dubious relationship with girlfriend Marion Chandler. But the smoldering tinder of mutual attraction-souls once separated now rejoined-ignites between Stuart and Niki into the full-fledged flame of love. Their ecstasy is short-lived, for the flame casts light on Niki's secret knowledge of an ancient prophesy that she and a high priestess know only Stuart can fulfill. Running counter to all logic, his resistance to participation in a ritual walking a dangerous labyrinth blindfolded is softened by yet another vision urging him to accept his destined role in the deadly ceremony. His success at accomplishing it, he is told, will salvage the remnants of the once-great civilization and signal the beginning of a world sweet with the fragrance of peace. By all appearances it is a lost cause, a dying culture set on an irreversible trajectory toward extinction. Will Stuart muster the courage, the compassion, and enough trust in his own instincts to risk life and love to save them?

Busy, stressed-out people will welcome Living AWAKE's clear and straightforward approach. Drawing from diverse sources and the author's own experience as a retreat leader and spiritual companion, Living AWAKE is accessible to all, regardless of faith or background. About the Author Mary Bea Sullivan is a retreat leader, inspirational speaker, and spiritual companion. She lives in Northern Alabama with her husband, Malcolm, and children, Brendan and Kiki. She is also the author of Dancing Naked Under the Moon: Uncovering the Wisdom Within, a spiritual memoir. Praise for Living AWAKE "Mary Bea Sullivan is a wise guide because she--through her own experience--knows that being and becoming human is a craft which requires practice, like playing a musical instrument or learning how to paint. Here the reader will find a series of practices over a classic period of forty days which will heal the soul, refresh the mind and heart, and open up new pathways." --Alan Jones, Dean Emeritus of Grace Cathedral and Honorary Canon of Chartres Cathedral. "Living AWAKE is a treasure chest of insight, wisdom, and practice. This forty-day journey invites the reader to know herself with love, and to then lavish that love on others. In a day and age when a lot of spiritual pablum is in the marketplace, Mary Bea Sullivan serves up real food for body, mind and spirit, food that is like the bread of communion, giving bread so that the reader can offer bread." --Rev. Mary C. Earle, Days of Grace: Meditations and Practices for Living with Illness. "Living AWAKE is a wonderful manual for the spiritual seeker who thinks globally and is not afraid to move beyond the confines of his or her belief system. Using a combination of personal narrative and insights into the sacred traditions of the world's religions, Mary Bea offers practical exercises for everyday people whose hearts ache for something more. She writes as a seasoned mentor well familiar with the territory, inviting the uninitiated to take the first steps towards living awake because it is a journey she herself has taken." --Elizabeth-Anne Stewart, Ph.D, Jesus the Holy Fool "There is a deep hunger today to have a more intimate experience with the Divine. Living AWAKE is a great way to get started or to get back on your journey with the Divine. This meditative guide comes from the deep wisdom of both eastern and western spirituality, yet it is simple and short enough that it can realistically be done in the midst of our busy lives. And if you stick with it for forty days, you will have established a habit that becomes natural to you and you will be living more awake." --Rev. Bob Haden, Director of the Haden Institute
