Drawing on mythical and spiritual traditions from almost every culture, Dr. Azra and Seren Bertrand reconstruct the moon-based feminine mystery teachings of a lost global Womb religion, tracing the tradition all the way back to the Neanderthals and beyond. They explore how these teachings were encoded in the symbolism of folk and fairy tales; the legends of the Holy Grail; the traditions of Mary Magdalene and Sophia; the maiden, queen, and crone archetypes; and the teachings of alchemy and the chakras. They show how sages and shamans across the globe all secretly spoke of the Cosmic Womb and the sacred creative powers of Moon Blood.

Age Range: 8 and up Fear drives me forward as I rush down a rocky path in Jerusalem, trying to sort things out even as dusk makes it harder to hurry. Am I really an American girl, cast back to the time of Jesus? Or a delusional Jewish teen, plagued with visions of a place called America, thousands of years in the future? I don't know anymore. But I do know that something awful is about to happen to my Jesus: they're going to arrest him tonight, and kill him. No one believes me; they think I'm crazy. So it's up to me to save him, hurrying down this dark path toward Gethsemane, toward the turning point of all history, the attempt to kill Jesus . . . toward the uncertainty of whether I can actually manage to change the future.

This true story began eleven years before Ann Paulson was ready to share the startling experiences that occurred over the next year and left her flabbergasted. Considering herself an ordinary Christian, she always believed there must be a heaven, but she never gave much thought to the idea that she had lived before. Then she began a very personal friendship with Jeshua, who the world knows a Jesus. Jeshua used Ann Paulsons past lives to show her how Gods love accepts us as we are and flows through the ages in events and people, no matter who they are. The author found the things she was learning difficult, but she became curious enough to keep listening and do her own research. She shares her exciting discoveries about our changing times and the school we each attend when we are born to this life. Stepping Stones for the Heart is a comfortable reminder that Gods love is available to us whether we believe it or not, and that Jeshua and wise angels are always with us to help us along the way. Ann Paulsons obedience to some insistent angels gives all of us the chance to learn more about why we are here and how we can do the most with our lives.
