    \u201cThis is a fabulous book, and a creative and original development of the new cosmology. The focus on trauma puts it at the very center of spiritual concerns of our contemporary society. The power of the narrative and the force of its reflections on the deep issues kept me going right through from the first to the last page. It is loaded with quotable passages; they pile up powerfully in so many places.<\/p>\n

    <\/span>Lauren de Boer has given birth to a work that will heal so many struggling souls. A beautiful achievement!\u201d<\/p>\n
