Understanding the Spiritual (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781495943133)

Twenty-five years ago, author Mary Lawrence-Dokpesi began a quest to know God. What she discovered was the spiritual essence and principle of God. In Understanding the Spiritual, she unveils her inspiring revelations and offers spiritual guidance to overcoming challenges and living an abundant life.

Understanding the Spiritual is a lit pathway toward closeness with God. It defines the spiritual world as simply that which lies outside physical reality. This is the world of God, who manifests the physical world through his creative aspect. But God is not alone in the spiritual world; humans are also spiritual beings, capable of reaching higher spiritual states by becoming more aligned with God's will.

Invigorating new interpretations of scripture empower individuals to take responsibility for their own spiritual growth. For example, readers learn that the Bible is not the Word of God; rather, God's creative aspect is the true Word. And Christ is a manifestation of God's Word, gracing us with the strength to endure the consequences of our sins in the knowledge that we are in the process of spiritual evolution.

Through thorough discussion, deeply personal testimony, and helpful techniques, this book will appeal to Christians and non-Christians, alike-inspiring anyone seeking new spiritual enlightenment.
