Now in a Revised Second Edition (2019) From the Foreword by +Marc Handley Andrus, Episcopal Bishop, Diocese of California: "In 'Heart and Mind,' Dr. Shaia gives us back our central sacred text - the four gospels - not as conflicted and faulty historical records, but as a vibrant, luminous path of transformation. He reveals "The Four-Gospel Journey" as a living guide (for Christians and seekers alike), re-centering human life on wisdom, compassion and service, rooted in a mystical relationship with Christ. And the potential for this living guide is already becoming manifest, as individuals, groups and entire communities are using it all over the world, and the word is spreading." ****In this fresh lens, each gospel account is more than a telling of Jesus' life and words. Each is the story of a practice in response to a core life question: Gospel of Matthew: How do we face change? Gospel of Mark: How do we move through trials and suffering? Gospel of John: How do we receive joy and know union? Gospel of Luke: How do we mature in service? And these four gospels are more than the sum of their parts. The four in the sequence of their fourth-century reading cycle are one of the world's great maps of the universal journey- one of growth, transformation, and love. As Alexander's describes, The Four-Gospel Journey is the pattern of the living, here and now Christ - a pattern within the Cosmos, in everything and across all time. To make this universal journey with another or a small community - see the "Heart and Mind Community Guides" in the Store on the Quadratos website. The Guides follow the book. There is one guide for each of the four paths, as well as one to prepare for the journey, and another on the eight core practices of Quadratos. ****From Rob Bell - NYT bestselling author: "This is a stunning book. You won't read the gospels the same way ever again. You won't think about your life the same way again. Anthropology, psychology, the heroes journey, the Bible, fear, struggle, hope, bravery, anticipation, euphoria, return - its all here in this masterful work, by one of my favorite teachers-guides-gurus-leader-village elder - Alexander John Shaia." -- Rob Bell, author of "What We Talk About When We Talk About God" and " What is the Bible?"
