• 3 stele, bazat pe 1 voturi

This spiritual guidebook follows in the footsteps of Dante on his journey through the Divine Comedy.

A fresh, modern take on this path, the book invites us to explore these questions: what is my hell and how do I move through it? What is my purgatory and what lesson do I need to take away? What is my paradise; how do I get there and how do I stay there? With wisdom distilled from the great myths, scriptures, and the world's mystics, this book is an invitation to ever-greater awakening and wholeness.

REVIEWS We're lost.

We're trying to get home.

With those words, Marc Thomas Shaw aptly summarizes the human predicament and then gathers a host of wise counselors-from mythology, pop culture, spiritual masters, and his own lived experiences-to accompany the reader on an inner journey toward the soul's true home.

-Kenneth Mc Intosh, author of Water from an Ancient Well: Celtic Spirituality for Modern Life Vulnerable, lonely, and dark-these words describe all of us at times.

It's the human condition.

I think Marc is right: we're lost, and we have to go through some uncomfortable heat to find our way home.

I loved this book.
