Summary

Do you resonate with aspects of Christianity, but struggle with the coherence of its claims? After having a mystical experience that upended her traditional evangelical beliefs, Heather Hamilton reluctantly found herself in this place. Her seeking led to the most unexpected insights.

Returning to Eden is a field guide for the journey that every true spiritual seeker ultimately takes. The highest truths that set us free are hidden in places that most people are not looking.

Returning to Eden reexamines the Bible stories of childhood and opens them up as symbolic maps into the inner world. Stories like Jonah and the Whale, the Parting of the Red Sea, Noah's Ark, and the Virgin Birth are illuminated with penetrating depth and intellectual integrity. Faith is no longer a white-knuckled grip on implausible beliefs, but a relaxation into a deep inner knowing. You may be surprised to find yourself reinvigorated and enlightened by stories you thought you knew inside and out.

Returning to Eden has the potential to cultivate a renaissance of wonder and curiosity in the most seasoned Christians to the most committed atheists, and everyone in between.

🤯 Mind blowing expirience ❣️

Returning to eden...the book that helped mi to understand that it's OK to question old believes, and to want to discover who am I really... If you are brave enough to step out of the box of your believes and old ways of thinking, this book for sure is an invitation to do so... Thankfully to the author, I am ready to descover deeper truths about myself.
