THE TRANSCENDENCE
AUTHOR: Mara Recalis
PUBLISHER: Friesen Press (68pp.)

By turns moving and reflective, playful and wise, The Transcendence explores the spiritual growth of Holland Millar; an intellectual man whose life, along with the lives of his family and friends, takes the reader on a journey of inspiration and self-discovery.

Life, death, and healing co-exist peacefully here, from bursts of tulips in the sudden heat of spring, to flurries of snow in the cold of the city, to the warm comfort of family at the kitchen table. Each story and poem contains a spiritually enlightened teaching, revealing the profound and infinite nature of the self.

Budaic and metaphysical, teeming with light and mystical truths, The Transcendence is a revolutionary novella. Its powerful prose and poetry allows us to experience a deeper understanding of ourselves, and our spirituality.

Recalis includes poetic interludes about the wonder of stargazing, the power of chi, and other topics. Full-color photographs of mountains and forest scenes, mostly by the author, round out the reading experience. Recalis’ writing is consistently lyrical, whether it’s poetry or prose.

Readers looking for meditation advice are likely to enjoy this collection of vignettes. – KIRKUS REVIEWS
