The Sacred Yes: Letters from the Infinite

by Deborah L. Johnson

The voice of the Divine is as near to you as your own breath—just ask. That's what Reverend Deborah L. Johnson did in 1995. In a moment of darkness, there was nothing she could do but "Take me now, oh Lord." Almost instantly she heard whispers—and they turned into more than 300 letters from Spirit. With The Sacred Yes , Rev. Deborah offers 54 of these epistles that provide not only soothing, affirmative wisdom, but words that lift us to our highest place of being. Each letter is a conversation, discrete in its own message, explains Rev. Johnson—whose Omnifaith Inner Light Ministries is the spiritual community of more than 1,500 people. The lessons are universal, addressing the human condition common to us all. They provide solace, insight, and inspiration for our hurts, fears, hopes, hesitations, and aspirations. The Sacred Yes speaks to us individually and collectively, providing new paradigms for our interpersonal relationships, societal institutions, and global affairs. The act of unconditional surrender to the unknown—without reservation or hesitation—is what transforms every circumstance into something that benefits us all. And according to Rev. Deborah L. Johnson, it happens with one sacred word … Yes. Also available on CD

In the Rev. Deborah L. Johnson's The Sacred Yes , she shares many beautiful letters from her divine. This book isn't meant to be read from cover to cover but rather dabbled with over time.

In her introduction, Rev. Johnson describes her letters as universal in message, "addressing the human condition common to us all." In this sense, The Sacred Yes invites the reader to come back again and again and receive the learnings from where the reader stands at that time.

Rev. Johnson is an amazing speaker which is why I purchased her book. I would even go so far as to say that I find her speaking even more powerful than her written word!

If you enjoy a resource full of rich, spiritual thought then you'll appreciate The Sacred Yes .

Buy this book! It's incredibly inspirational and it hasn't left my life in a year and a half since I bought it.

I often flip through to a random page for a spark of wisdom. It's beautifully bound and I want to share quotes from it endlessly.

This book helped me understand the nature of intuition.

Reverand Deborah is an openly gay minister and she speaks of the nature of nondenominational spirit as both male and female, inside and outside of us, connecting all people and all that is. It's beautiful work!

I listened to this on audible and found her voice to be annoying. I think I would really like it if I read it. It was referred to me by my friend Heather and she loved it so much! She read the book though. If I come across it I will get the hardback to see if I like it better but I am not going to seek it out!

long, goodread

A lot of wisdom and guidance are within these pages. It took me a long time to fully digest and appreciate all that lies within these pages. Highly recommended. I will be revisiting many of these passages often. There’s no way for me to do this book justice with a single review. I can only say that I have had to be in a space of receptivityand deep intentionality to sit with this material. All that and more will required to live according to the wisdom contained herein. I so appreciate the message that lies herein. I’m grateful

I read it over nearly a year and wasn't compelled to finish it. I was definitely inspired at first but less so as I read deeper.

Wanting a deeper dive into Divine Life. An insight, Rev. Johnson so elegantly covers aligning, living , moving and being in spirit. Wow! Rev. Deborah takes scripture, other spiritual concepts and everyday living, the issues of loneliness, cancer, and so much more. This book is a drink of pure and living water. Its' so good. I will be coming back to this book time and time again. I've always wanted to live my life in God, fully emersed and with the ear to ear. Rev. Johnson speaks from the depth of God is always speaking, as she discloses her letters' from God. "As the deer panted for the waters so my soul long-eth after thee ." Powerful book, with revelation and so much more. This is a keeper. I had the chance to have a class with Rev. Johnson, it has changed my life. Do it! Pick this one up.
