Books for Loan | • Swedenborg's works   Swedenborg Sampler For new readers of Swedenborg, knowing where to start and what to read can present an insurmountable task. This volume is a good starting point and provides samples of some of his most powerful writings, now available in new, contemporary translations. Writing over two centuries ago, scientist-turned-mystic Swedenborg almost perfectly captured the tone of the current expansion of New Age into a mainstream spiritual philosophy. As more and more people begin to seek out contact with out-of-body entities, and even more begin looking to reconcile their traditional religious roots with their changing needs and beliefs, the writings of Swedenborg should start getting more attention. The Swedenborg Foundation has had the good sense to offer the public an easy-to-read introduction to this prolific intellectual's body of work. Five of Swendenborg's most popular books are excerpted, newly translated, and presented with brief introductions which provide background for the excerpts. The Swedenborg Foundation is simultaneously releasing an inspirational novel—The Guardian Angel Diary by Grant Schnarr— which Dr. Mehmet Oz describes as "just the kind of medicine we should be prescribing." It will be a perfect display companion, letting people know that Swedenborg's work speaks across the ages and continues to influence writers and philosophers. —Anna Jedrziewski, New Age Retailer, May 2011 online edition What happens to our souls after we die? What is the afterlife like? What is the nature of God? Of evil? What can we do during our lives to help guide us to heaven? What kinds of answers can we find in the Bible? Selections from some of Swedenborg's most popular works—Heaven and Hell, Divine Love and Wisdom, Divine Providence, Secrets of Heaven, and True Christianity—answer these questions and more. Ideal for those new to Swedenborg's theology, A Swedenborg Sampler offers tastes from a rich smorgasbord of spiritual insight. SKU: Price: $0.00 Send this page to a friend! Quantity:
