Publisher Description
"An important step towards a new consciousness that will change the planet." -- Paolo Coelho
Have you ever ignored a coincidence -- and wished you hadn't?
Have you ever denied the truth of a dream -- and wished you didn't?
Have you ever disregarded a hunch -- only to regret it?
Then you have heard the new language of God.
Albert Clayton Gaulden, founder and director of the Sedona Intensive, believes that the new language is God's mother tongue, the language in which His messages and guidance are expressed. Experiential and laden with messages, the new language isn't spoken chiefly in words (though sometimes it comes to us that way); it is rich in signs, symbols, wonders, and coincidences. When we open ourselves up to the new language, we can open ourselves to a larger and better life. When we learn to be receptive to the new language, we can begin to understand its unique grammar and rules, and to benefit from its grace.
Signs and Wonders is an innovative work that offers practical strategies, anecdotes, case studies, and stories of personal transformation to expand our awareness of the new language. It teaches us how to listen to God and to understand the answers to our prayers, to know if we are on the right track when plagued by worry, doubt, and uncertainty. Focusing on the process that the author uses in his groundbreaking work as director of the Sedona Intensive, Signs and Wonders can help us all to learn how to clear "God's channel" and to master a new form of communication.
"If prayer is about talking to God, the new language is about listening for His answers."
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The core message of this book is a simple and valuable one: if we make ourselves receptive and stop to listen, we will find that God speaks to us in a variety of ways. Unfortunately, Gaulden, founder and director of the Sedona Intensive (a treatment center for people struggling with compulsions and addictions), takes almost 300 pages to belabor what could have been said in about a third the space. He calls these non-verbal communications from God "the new language" (although what is "new" about it is unclear, since he claims that Noah and Moses understood it), and lists 25 examples from angel murmurs and coincidence to intuition and visions. Each definition is accompanied by real-life examples gathered from Gaulden's clients over the years. The stories are often the most engaging parts of the book, but they can also be the most confusing. For example, although Gaulden manages to formally define the subtle differences between "coincidence," "serendipity" and "synchronicity," or between "hunch," "intuition," "inner knowing" and "thought impression," his narrative illustrations seem to blur the terms together. The final third of the book purports to improve readers' reception of the new language, but reads like a self-help manual bogged down in lists and bullet points. It is also full of oblique advertising for Gaulden's Sedona program. Gaulden's thesis may help many readers increase their spiritual sensitivity, but the book has a high chaff-to-wheat ratio along the way.
