The Blurbs are In

I've received, through the generosity and kindness of some very special people, some very kind words about the book. The tricky part is in "blurbing" them, which is to say, chopping the things into sentence fragments and making tight, punchy sentences for teeny tiny space allowed by book-cover real estate. I'm tremendously humbled and overwhelmed;

"Explores the Code phenomenon from a spiritual point of view without radically revising Western history...acknowledging that ideas need not be historical in order to be spiritually meaningful. Stratford has opened the way."
    – Lesa Bellevie, Editor The Magdalene Review and Author, The Complete Idiot's Guide to the Mary Magdalene


"Fresh and accessible, a brilliant overall picture of the myth – The da Vinci Prayerbook is a bridge connecting artists, mystics, and writers of the past with readers of today. This is required reading for seeker and devotee alike... a perfect work of Sophianic inspiration and insightful scholarship."
    – Bishop +Rosamonde Miller


“Fr. Jordan makes a thoughtful exploration of the Magdalene tradition, gently peeling back the veil to reveal a glimpse of the real mystery of the Bridal Chamber.”
    – Jennifer Emick, About.com

Somehow I end up reading your blog, and I am keen to experience more. Where should I begin, what do I read first.

Welcome, Gabriele. There are some "getting started" articles on the sidebar on the right, links to some Gn Churches, and 3 book selections.

Blessings,
