Interesting but not much new here

The Isaiah effect (as in Bradens other books) examines the spiritual beliefs of our some of our ancient ancestors as well as some of the messages in the bible to enable us to see the similarity of these ancient messages which will empower us to create peace in our lives and our world. Having studied the Nag Hamadi Library Braden examines the relevance of these once missing texts(gospels that were omitted from the bible)to the formation of Christian religion and the history of the Catholic church.Lots of interesting information and insights in this book, however, much of it is already covered in his other works. Although an interesting read Braden has a tendency to constantly summarise and repeat himself which made me want to skim through much of it.

wow - think about it

Greg Braden is a former earth science expert as well as a computer systems designer turned tour guide of sacred and religious sites all over the world. He has written a number of books on similar subjects.

The Isaiah effect examines many tenants and religious beliefs throughout man kind's history. Looking at who wrote the Bible, why books were left out and what it meant to the overall understanding of the Bible that the books were not included in the final project. He looks at the Bible with all the books and also looks at Native American, Mayan and Aztec beliefs among many others (to be listed later). How are they similar? The writer will show you.

Greg Braden believes we are missing something today. He explains how mass prayer has been proven to work. He discusses quantum physics theories that make many of the ancient prophecies seem plausible. The book spends a good bit of time discussing "The Bible Code" and the possibilities that it teaches us. The writer also has chapters discussing healing through prayer among many other faith based actions.

This book tries to make you think. Common prophecies, common threads in religion, did we all come from one belief? The book also presents a new way to look at time, time travel, dimensions, religions and quantum physics, prayer and prophecy, alternate realities, multiple paralleled universes. Can we bounce back and forth between them? Maybe even without knowing? Are we actually just now starting to learn or relearn what the ancient people knew? If so, why? How do the prophecies from Peru, Tibet, Egypt, Jerusalem and the American Southwest coincide?

Many questions are explored in the book. Some answers are given which in turn just raise a few more questions. This is a book that makes you think about many things including how we, as a race, relate to the seen and unseen worlds. If you are in a contemplating mood this is the book for you. If you are interested in the history and contents of religions this has some interest. If you feel something is missing in today's religions, read this book. It will make you think.

A revelation

This book fills in the gaps in my own knowing. Prayer was always just meaningless word to me before. Now I feel inspired in the knowledge that not only can anyone pray but that everyones prayers count and are in fact vital to peace and our future. Though the book is rooted in the very ancient beliefs of the Essenes it is as relevant today as it has ever been.

Gregg Braden manages to make a difficult concept understandable by his systematic approach. The detailed and understandable way this book is written is a joy to read and reread. I have lent it out to friends and they have all been moved by the content.
