And throughout church history, people of faith have found it to be a useful metaphor for the spiritual life.In God in the Desert, Old Testament scholar and spiritual director Noel Forlini Burt explores Old Testament wilderness narratives in conversation with wise voices from throughout church history, bridging the gap between biblical studies and spiritual formation. Journeying through stories such as Hagar, Elijah, and the Israelites at Sinai, each chapter also engages with figures like the desert fathers and mothers, Parker Palmer, Henri Nouwen, Richard Rohr, and Eugene Peterson.God in the Desert connects biblical studies and spiritual formation, traces the theme of wilderness in the Old Testament and its implications for Christians, and combines scholarly depth with practical and inspiring spiritual reflection.

Connecting biblical texts to her own experiences and those of Christians across time, Forlini Burt unpacks how wilderness can still be a place of transformation as Gods people respond to the God of the desert. Whether youre a scholar, student, pastor, or spiritual formation practitioner, youll find deep engagement with the Scriptures and spiritual wisdom for the Christian life in God in the Desert.

Emerging on the fringes of institutional religion, rooted in the Celtic world of Ireland and Wales and later intersecting with Gnostic currents such as those of the Cathars, Grail Christianity offers a radically distinct vision of Christian spiritual life. At its heart lies not a relic, but a question: What is the Grail?From Chretien de Troyes first vision of the Grail Castle to Wolfram von Eschenbachs Parzival, Meyer shows how the Grail legends preserve an esoteric Christian path of inner transformation. Figures such as Perceval, Gawain and Galahad appear as archetypes of the human soul at different stages of initiation, whilst motifs including the missed question, the wounded Grail King Anfortas, the Good Friday Mystery, and the healing power of compassion point to a spiritual schooling largely forgotten in modern Christianity.Tracing the Grails journey from East to West, Meyer explores Robert de Borons Josef of Arimathea, Wolframs enigmatic Master Kyot, and the striking image of the Grail as a living stone. He follows the Grail impulse through Celtic and Arthurian traditions and reveals the role of poets, minnesingers and troubadours in preserving its wisdom during times of persecution.First published in 1958, this seminal work follows the Grails continuing mission through Rosicrucianism, Goethe, Wagners Parsifal and Rudolf Steiners renewal of the Mysteries. The Grail emerges not as a medieval curiosity, but as a living reality inviting readers to step onto its path themselves and encounter its transformative presence.

Drawing on esoteric Christian philosophies, the author traces the living legacy of the Magdalene as the beloved companion of Christ and the apostle of the apostles.Richly illustrated with dozens of paintings and photographs, this book is a guide for a humanity still learning what true partnership between the masculine and the feminine can mean both in the world and within the soul. It reveals subtle symbols of the Magdalene encoded by Renaissance masters and other artists, inviting readers into a visual meditation on love, equality and the archetypal feminine. Clear, accessible reflections, along with contemplative exercises and meditations, support readers in rediscovering the feminine face of the divine within their inner lives.A beautifully illustrated book about an intriguing search for a legendary yet misunderstood woman. Jacob Slavenburg, historian and authorMary Magdalene is the mother of esoteric Christianity. Therefore, it is high time to bring to light the many secrets surrounding her and her life. And that is precisely what Danielle van Dijk does in this remarkable book. Hans Stolp, author and pastor

Are Thoresen is a healer and spiritual researcher whose lifes work has been devoted to one essential task: learning how consciously to enter and relate to the spiritual world. Inspired by Rudolf Steiners challenge that true knowledge arises not from belief but from living experience, this book is Thoresens deeply personal response. Idiosyncratic, experiential and uncompromising, it speaks not to the intellect alone, but directly to the heart.Based on decades of work with pulse diagnosis, acupuncture and clairvoyant observation of humans and animals, Thoresen discovered that true healing arose when he faded into elemental and spiritual realms. Having developed childhood abilities of seeing through physical form, conversing with nature and moving beyond ordinary time and space, in Opening the Heart he distils a lifetime of research into clear concepts and practical guidance on the art of fading and merging.Building on his work on the Northern Path of Initiation, Thoresen introduces us to the four great Doors of the spiritual world: the Sun, the Elements, Death and the newly revealed Door of Light (Love), along with the four principal Paths that lead to them.This is not a book for the hesitant or the excessively rational: it is at once a challenge and an opportunity. For those willing to persevere, it offers a rare initiatory path for learning to walk between worlds.Full of eye-popping, mouth-dropping moments Hold on tight and get to the end. Welcome to the Future. Malcolm Gluck
