As a child, the astonishing Joan Grant became aware of her uncanny
“Far Memory,” the ability to recall past incarnations who had lived in
long-ago times and far-flung places. Her seven historical novels stand
out for their vividness and rich detail. For Joan, these books were not
works of the imagination but personal recollections of her previous
lives.
In Winged Pharaoh,
Joan Grant tells the story of Sekeeta, the Pharaoh’s daughter. The
ancient Egyptians reserved the title of “Winged Pharaoh” for
ruler-priests who possessed extra-sensory powers. When Sekeeta
demonstrates psychic abilities, she is sent to the temple and trained to
recall past lives. Upon the death of her father, she becomes a “Winged
Pharaoh”—both priestess and Pharaoh—and leads her country with
enlightenment.
The most famous of Joan Grant’s Far Memory novels, this book brings the grandeur, beauty, and mystery of ancient Egypt to life.
Son of Man. The Mystical Path to Christ. Andrew Harvey
I'm enjoying "Son of Man: The Mystical Path to Christ" by Andrew Harvey.
"Galvanizing, beautifully written . . . a powerful expression of faith in the transforming power of Christ's love."--Publishers Weekly (starred review)Son of Man is Andrew Harvey's
most basic statement on Christ, and it has already become a treasured
work to readers interested in Christian mysticism. For the first time in
any of his books, Harvey provides spiritual exercises--centuries-old
rites previously available only to a few--that allow the reader direct
experience with the mystical Christ. Son of Man also includes an easily
accessible section of classic readings and meditations on the nature of
Christ, making it the comprehensive experience in the Christ of the new
millennium.
