Eclipse

by Mary Summer Rain

Having received thousands of letters over the years since the release of her questions-and-answer book Daybreak, it became clear to Mary Summer Rain that there were still far too many unanswered questions in the minds of her readers. And during those years, too, her own knowledge and spiritual philosophy evolved into one of greater scope and depth. In books such as The Visitation and Fireside, she provided tantalizing glimpses of that natural evolution of thought. Eclipse is in many ways an attempt to honor readers' concerns and ongoing personal questions on life and spirituality, which are usually prompted by their desire to figure out how the universe works, and how they may individually apply universal truths in their own lives. Eclipse addresses a vast array of subjects--from the feminine principle to sexuality, from Starborn matters to the interconnectedness of all living things as manifested through the Great Web of Life, from the feminine aspects of the Divine Trinity to the spiritual ills of modern society. Mary doesn't claim to have all the answers, and her answers are not always what you'd expect. In Eclipse, Mary responds to many common and uncommon questions, in the inimitable, straightforward, no-nonsense, and sometimes even exasperated (but always patient) fashion that has been her trademark. What emerges is a consistent philosophy that applies clear logic and spiritual truths to the problems of our age.

[Chelsea · Rating 3 out of 5]

got this book looking for different outlooks on religion. and it didn't disappoint .but it did have a few things in it that reference to her other books and (haven't not read any of them but will look for them in the future) this one was written in all questions and answers type way so makes me wonder if her other are written that way. any way all in all I enjoy her out look on realizing that woman has and always will play a roll in religion and it is becoming more openly viewed.

In this book Mary compiles questions by readers and her answers to those questions. Very good.
