Book Description
Both intuitive and interactive, the gnostic approach to faith is a sacred quest for greater knowledge, understanding, and wisdom-a deeper penetration of the Mystery. This path leads to a higher degree of the enlightenment experience or gnosis. The Gnostic Gospel of St. Thomas reveals how the reader can use each verse in this scripture as a source of daily contemplation and spiritual growth, while exploring the secrets of resurrection and ascension, the true role of St. Mary Magdalene in the early church, and other mystical and magical teachings.
These are the secret sayings which the living Jesus spoke and which Didymos Judas Thomas wrote down. Read the first page

I'm cautious...,
By Pete "vanderzwet1" (Brockville, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Gnostic Gospel of St. Thomas: Meditations on the Mystical Teachings (Paperback)
If you look at the reviews for this book, you'll find that the vast majority were written within the same 48 hours in 2004. This is suspicious to me, especially when the author runs a forum and chat room. It makes it look like members have volunteered or have been petitioned to submit reviews. I was interested in the book and on the verge of making a purchase when I noticed this. Sketchy.

Real Gnostics Among Us?,
By Phillip "Phillip" (Sacramento, California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Gnostic Gospel of St. Thomas: Meditations on the Mystical Teachings (Paperback)
Wow!There is something about this book that is saying far more than the scholars and modern academia is saying. Not only is it stylistically more interesting to read, it's practically and directly spiritual! I'd been looking for a way to find SPIRITUALITY in the West, rather than stale dogmas, and real methods to feel connected with God, Divine Spirit, or whatever you want to call it in a practical and meaningful way. This book addresses those needs quite directly, unlike the scholars writing about Gnosticism who, at best, address those issues indirectly. I used to look up to the Eastern systems of metaphysics because they had a rich tradition of meditation and spiritual contemplation that I always felt I needed, but couldn't really connect with. But this author is coming to show me that such a spiritual richness and depth may also exist in the West! The best part about the book is its practical use! The chapters are direct responses to each line of the Gospel of St. Thomas. There is a contemplation following each of St. Thomas' 114 sayings. This allows me to read in order, out of order, re-read sections in a nice, relaxing way as it fits into my busy schedule. Plus, each contemplation is good spiritual food for thought, so that I can read a contemplation, look back on Thomas' line and contemplate it myself to glean a little more on my own. It's the perfect book for anyone that has been looking for something more directly spiritual about Gnosticism, and more practically useful as good, solid food for one's truly spiritual considerations.

Truth in simplicity,
By
This review is from: The Gnostic Gospel of St. Thomas: Meditations on the Mystical Teachings (Paperback)
The Truth spoken in the Gospel of Thomas has many subtle layers. Tau Malachi takes these subtle sayings and peels them open enabling one to more penetrate the Mysteries. The method and approach Tau Malachi takes is complex in it's simplicity. In his writing style he draws from the unspeakable and grounds it making the subtle Truth speakable. I'am very grateful that finally a book that goes into the depth of Christian Gnosticism exists! Thank You Tau Malachi!!
