Holy Spirit's Interpretation of the New Testament: A Course in Understanding and Acceptance [Paperback]

Foundation for the Holy Spirit (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: February 19, 2008

A metaphysical interpretation of the New Testament, which teaches oneness as the only truth, and surrender (or letting go) as the practice that leads to spiritual enlightenment. NTI stresses the importance of willingness, acceptance, gratitude, mind-watching and trust on the path of enlightenment while teaching the reader to let go of unworthiness, fear, guilt and false (or separation-based) thinking. NTI has been described as a love letter and as a loving approach to letting go of the ego. Following on from the strength of A Course in Miracles NTI teaches us how to experience the oneness of God here and now by showing us exactly how to release the obstacles that prevent us from having that experience.

This review is from: Holy Spirit's Interpretation of the New Testament: A Course in Understanding and Acceptance (Paperback)

I have read LOTS of spiritual books and teachings. This book is my favorite along with A Course in Miracles. Both give step by step instructions to waking up to who You really are and finding peace and joy. I find NTI to be very gentle in its approach. The voice that speaks throughout this book is gentle, reassuring and speaks with crystal clear clarity. There is a nugget of inspiration in every sentence. The gentle voice throughout this book leads you to come to Know yourSelf as you Truly are.
It says in the title that it is a book of understanding and acceptance. I definitely have a new understandng of Who I Am and what my purpose is. I also have come to a greater level of acceptance of myself, others and all that I see. Thats quite an accomplishemnt!!!

Reading this book has changed me. Practicing the guidance presented in this book has the power to change your life completely. I have found a new level of peace and joy, truly. This is a book that wont go back on the book shelf.
You will want to keep it near you for inspiration and guidance. I am very grateful I found this awesome book!! It is a Real gift!

This review is from: Holy Spirit's Interpretation of the New Testament: A Course in Understanding and Acceptance (Paperback)

If you had the ability to look at my bookshelves now, you would see that I'm nothing short of an empassioned self-help junkie and bibliophile. From this point of view, you may know, that there are some books that are nice to read and some that are merely entertaining or attractive. However, there are also those few books that rarely come along in your life which truly leave you breathless. These books touch your life so deeply that you cannot even imagine being without them. NTI is one of those books. The Holy Spirit's Interpretation of the New Testament perfectly reflects another one of my favorite books, A Course In Miracles, and neither do I feel that my life would be same without it.

Since receiving this book, I've been carrying it around with me at work and showing it to the people who I feel prompted to share it with (which sometimes is just about everyone). Also, I've been using it as a daily guide, similiar to how I often use the Course. At times, I'll just open up to any place within it, asking Holy Spirit for just the right place, and read... the answers I receive are always perfect for what I need to hear in that very moment.

Truly, I cannot speak more highly about this book. When you purchase it, and you should, do not just read it to be another part of your metaphysical, self-help or inspirational collection. Let this book be a part of your life! Let your life come to new heights through it. I can promise you that if you practice its wisdom, genuine peace and transformation will occur. Each moment I read NTI, I feel more inspired and more in love with Holy Spirit. WOW~ Simply Being: One Year with Spirit

5.0 out of 5 stars A Parallel Account of the NT from Holy Spirit, March 7, 2008

This review is from: Holy Spirit's Interpretation of the New Testament: A Course in Understanding and Acceptance (Paperback)

This book reminds me of Roshomon. I feel the description on the back cover that it is an "interpretation" of the NT, misses the point. This is a retelling from the HS, as the truly objective witness, and thus at times it sounds like an interpretation, but at other times it is equally a correction of very skewed ego-based viewpoints.
It is a gem, no doubt, and it will last.
