Description

“We are not human beings having a spiritual experience; we are spiritual beings having a human experience.”(Teilhard de Chardin)Involution-An Odyssey Reconciling Science to God is as layered as a French cassoulet, as diverting, satisfying and as rich. Each reader will spoon this book differently. On the surface it seems to be a simple and light-hearted poetic journey through the history of Western thought, dominantly scientific, but enriched with painting and music. Beneath that surface is the sauce of a new evolutionary idea, involution; the informing of all matter by consciousness, encoded and communicating throughout the natural world. A book about the cathedral of consciousness could have used any language to paint it, but science is perhaps most in need of new vision, and its chronology is already familiar.The author offers a bold alternative vision of both science and creation: she suggests that science has been incrementally the recovery of memory, the memory of evolution/involution.“ Involution proposes that humans carry within them the history of the universe, which is (re)discovered by the individual genius when the time is ripe. All is stored within our DNA and awaits revelation. Such piecemeal revelations set our finite lives in an eternal chain of co-creation and these new leaps of discovery are compared to mystical experience” (From a reviewer)Each unique contributor served the collective and universal return to holism and unity. Thus the geniuses of the scientific journey, like the spiritual visionaries alongside, have threaded the rosary of science with the beads of inspiration, and through them returned Man to his spiritual nature and origin.The separation between experience and the rational intellect of science has, by modelling memory as theory, separated its understanding from the consciousness of all, and perceives mind and matter as separate, God and Man as distinct. This work is a dance towards their re-unification: Saints and scientists break the same bread.All of time and all the disciplines of science are needed for the evidence. Through swift (and sometimes sparring) Cantos of dialogue between Reason and Soul, Philippa Rees takes the reader on a monumental journey through the history of everything – with the evolution of man as one side of the coin and involution the other. The poetic narrative is augmented by learned and extensive footnotes offering background knowledge which in themselves are fascinating. In effect there are two books, offering a right and left brain approach. The twin spirals of a DNA shaped book intertwine external and internal and find, between them, one journey, Man’s recovery of Himself., and (hopefully) the Creation’s recovery of a nobler Man.From the same review “The reader who finishes the book will not be the same as the one who began it. New ideas will expand the mind but more profoundly, the deep, moving power of the verse will affect the heart.(Marianne Rankin: Director of Communications, Alister Hardy Trust)

Christmas Traditions for Children is the answer to every Children's Church leader's holiday worries. Wondering what to do with the kids this year? "Traditions" has the answer. It's really more of a performance/activity book than a book about traditions--unless you include starting new ones. The mostly acrostic activities can be tailored for one to dozens of children, and can be used with lots of groups for one long performance, or by a small group, a little at a time. And of course, nothing here has to be performed before an audience at all--other than the class leader, teacher or parent. Children will benefit by learning the simple sentences/ rhymes/ and easy Scripture verses without any emphasis on public display. But the little acrostic pieces are perfect for a pre-sermon quickie performance and will assuredly delight parents and audiences. In addition to reciting, the activities include cutting, pasting and decorating a small tree, and the emphasis is totally on Jesus. I'm already planning which ones to use for our family and church this year. The thinking has been done, and I have only to copy, and work with the kids. What a relief! Linore Rose Burkard Inspirational Romance Author Homeschooling mother of five Cincinnati, OH I was searching for simple patterns of the Chrismons to use in my children's program. The patterns and Greek explanations were used as teaching tools and the finished products were included in our Christmas program. The program was a great success. The simplicity of the patterns and the explanations make it a valuable teaching tool. Would recommend the book as a great resource for children's Christmas programs.
