Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. "Take Me to Truth" is the first book to address the fundamental problem that all spiritual seekers face on the journey to awakening; the ego. As Gary Renard says in the Foreword."despite the thousands of things we may appear to have to choose from in this world, there are really only two things, and only one of them is real." The ego is not. Most books today are still teaching how to find liberation within the dream. "Take Me to Truth" wakes us out of the dream. It stands alone, as an unprecedented approach to ego-relinquishment. It courageously unravels and demystifies the ego-release process and provides direct guidance on undoing the cause of all human suffering; our distorted belief system. "Take Me to Truth" is a powerful six-stage navigational guide that takes us through the six remarkable stages of undoing ego. Each of these stages becomes an experience of deepening trust, eventually removing all existing blocks to the awareness of the Infinite Love that we are and have. It bridges the yawning gap that exists between seeking enlightenment and finding it. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Is there room in the Church and in society today for a faith that takes the Bible and traditional teaching seriously but not literally? That sees Christianity as a developing tradition with its share of mistakes, but one which still provides people with the best framework for an encounter with God and a fulfilling life? Written in a popular style, but out of a deep love of the Church and the traditions and scholarship that have enriched it, this title sets out a liberal Christian position that is biblical, open, liturgically conservative, traditional, ethical, public and concerned with Christian action. In the clash between liberalism and fundamentalism that bedevils the Church today, Brian Mountford is always on the side of critical theology, real religion and poetic language about deep truth. He is pluralist but not indiscriminate. Christian but not extremist. He believes in the reality of God, but sees him as in the wound rather than the bandage. For those searching for a credible faith, unwilling or unable to take formulaic answers as absolute truth, this book should make a good introduction to what liberal Christianity can offer.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. In common with all human beings as spiritual creatures, Christians carry a set of beliefs about the reality which they name "God" which underlies existence and which is a guide through life. For some, the seeds of this were planted in early childhood - by parents, Sunday School, Catechism class or early experiences of the sacred church - and were thought about, questioned and became more personal as these people matured. For others, the set of beliefs came later in life as they sought to understand what being a Christian meant. Universally held Christian dogmas, for many today, do not ring true with their own experience. Scientific knowledge, Biblical studies and human consciousness have all evolved. Hence, there is a gap between the formulation of ancient creeds and the way Christians understand religious truths today. This book presents a contemporary alternative to traditional expressions of belief and is offered as an invitation to readers to think through each statement and formulate for themselves one that more neatly resonates with their own understandings and experiences. It is designed to help readers on their spiritual journey by leading them to a new awareness of a richness in Christian beliefs perhaps not previously perceived.
