Product Description
Product Description
Having received thousands of letters over the years since the release of her questions-and-answer book Daybreak, it became clear to Mary Summer Rain that there were still far too many unanswered questions in the minds of her readers. And during those years, too, her own knowledge and spiritual philosophy evolved into one of greater scope and depth. In books such as The Visitation and Fireside, she provided tantalizing glimpses of that natural evolution of thought.
Eclipse is in many ways an attempt to honor readers' concerns and ongoing personal questions on life and spirituality, which are usually prompted by their desire to figure out how the universe works, and how they may individually apply universal truths in their own lives. Eclipse addresses a vast array of subjects--from the feminine principle to sexuality, from Starborn matters to the interconnectedness of all living things as manifested through the Great Web of Life, from the feminine aspects of the Divine Trinity to the spiritual ills of modern society. Mary doesn't claim to have all the answers, and her answers are not always what you'd expect.
In Eclipse, Mary responds to many common and uncommon questions, in the inimitable, straightforward, no-nonsense, and sometimes even exasperated (but always patient) fashion that has been her trademark. What emerges is a consistent philosophy that applies clear logic and spiritual truths to the problems of our age.

Excellent!!!,

This review is from: ECLIPSE (Paperback)
Eclipse is one of those books that is so full of information that it becomes a reference manual! There are questions and answers in this book, that many authors are reluctant to touch, yet Mary Summer Rain matter-of-factly poses the questions and the answers to many of life's most difficult questions. I would recommend this book to anyone who is looking for answers to the spiritual questions that are left untouched in the status-quo books that are confined to limited thinking. If you have an open mind--or are willing to question things--this is a book that will stretch your imagination!!! And expand your awareness!!!

an enjoyable, enlightening reading experience.,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: ECLIPSE (Paperback)
A prolific writer, Mary Summer Rain is well-known in metaphysical circles. Eclipse, her eighteenth book, answers questions asked by readers of her previous books. The questions are wide-ranging, from "What is prayer?" to "Will the IRS ever go away?" Summer Rain looked toward the moon when selecting the title of her book, saying that the "full moon signifies an enlightened world [and] the new moon represents the shadowed darkness of confusion and ignorance." The moon in eclipse symbolizes "the intermittent spells of forgetfulness or the clouding of the answers to life's seeming mysteries." Her intention is to provide illumination to chase away "the darkness that shadows the brilliant knowledge of the spirit's intellect." She believes that all things are interconnected, and her answers reflect her beliefs, often in a humorous way. She isn't afraid to talk about difficult subjects, such as whether or not evil is inherent in some people. Her answers are filled with practical advice, and often refer to situations in her own life. Readers will often feel as if they're sitting at the table, having a cup of tea and good chat with an old friend. Summer Rain is patient and understanding, knowing that many people are confused about how the universe works and their role in the overall scheme of things. Although the questions come from those who have read her previous books, readers new to Summer Rain will find Eclipse an enjoyable and enlightening experience. Her earlier fans will find her as delightful and forthright as always.Sandra I. Smith Reviewer
