Produktbeschreibung

Who were the Cathars and what was the Albigensian Crusade?

The brutal (and largely unknown) Albigensian Crusade took place from 1209 to 1229 in Languedoc, France, and was perpetrated by the Catholic Church. The victims were thousands of Cathars the members of the region's popular religion and the Last of the Gnostics.

In this extraordinary work, author Don Durrett follows six women of the time to capture the Cathar's final years in rich and historic detail. Although scrutinized for their beliefs, disciples Sarah, Miriam and Mary Magdalene, and later Margaret, Blanche and Joanne, offer Jesus' true teachings of love and oneness and a Gnostic philosophy that transcendence comes from within.

"Last of the Gnostics" weaves actual battles and historic figures in a fictional fabric, and uses this backdrop to explore a version of deeply feminine Gnostic spirituality that is quite similar to modern, new age philosophy. Its inspiring, loving message blankets the pages maybe most notably through the Cathar's subsequent persecution as heretics and extinction.

Were the Cathars a precurser to the new age spirituality of today? "Last of the Gnostics" offers convincing evidence this is the case, and that a similar spirituality is on the rise today.

Autorenporträt

I was born in 1960, on March 18th. That makes me a Pisces and a 5 of diamonds. I'm also a Cancer rising with a Sagittarius moon. In the Michael Teachings, I'm a priest-scholar, 5th level old soul. As for numerology, I'm a 28/10, with a 1 lifepath.

I began writing in 1990 and have written nine metaphysical books and one workbook. I turned 50 in 2010 and decided it was time to publish. I now have self published six books and a workbook, which are available in both print and digital format, and have plans to publish more in the future.

My books are for both those new to metaphysics and those who are challenged to find books that feed their soul. Five of my books are stories that make spirituality accessible and fun to explore. I recommend that you read Finding Your Soul first. It is a story that is enjoyable to read and also provides my spiritual philosophy.

I am more of a philosopher than a writer. In fact, I don't consider myself a great writer. I do, however, consider my books of substantial value. I'm an ancient philosopher. For this reason, I have the ability to write about metaphysics in a way that is very accessible and understandable. Moreover, because writing about the unknowable is not easy, I offer a unique quality that is not easily found.

One wonderful thing about my books is that if you like one, you have five more to read. Also, my books are short and fast to read. None of my books will take more than a week, and some fast readers can read them in one day. Read the first chapter of Finding Your Soul on my website, and you will know exactly what you have found.
