<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>"Jim Marion's book returns us to the central challenge Christianity ought to be handing us. Indeed, how do we put on the mind of Christ? How do we see through his eyes? How do we feel through his heart? How do we learn to respond to the world with that same wholeness and healing love? That's what Christian orthodoxy really is all about. It's not about right belief; it's about right practice." <br> --Cynthia Bourgeault, author of<i> The Wisdom Jesus</i></b> <p/> What does it mean to follow the path of Christ today? <i>Putting on the Mind of Christ</i> is the first book to offer an integral understanding of the Christian spiritual path--one that examines the basic stages of spiritual development described by the great saints and sages, along with the psychological stages of development used by modern psychology.</p><p>American mystic Jim Marion draws upon his own rich spiritual experience and deep understanding of scriptural models, to show readers how to emulate the developmental stages of the Christ: how to put on the mind of Christ to achieve spiritual illumination and communion with the Christ. He examines the seven levels of consciousness of the human personality mapped by the work of Jean Piaget, Carol Milligan, and Lawrence Kohlberg, and leads readers to the consciousness that Jesus called the Kingdom of Heaven--the highest level of spiritual development.</p><p>Marion shows how inner spiritual growth has always been the true essence of Christian practice and shares his own spiritual experiences within a "Christ-focused" framework.</p><p>Pioneering, transcendent, and grounded, <i>Putting on the Mind of Christ</i> will permanently alter the landscape of 21st-century Christianity.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A pioneering book, a truly inspired revelation, and a gentle guide to the deepest terrain of our own souls."--Ken Wilber, author of A Brief History of Everything<br><br>"Jim Marion's book returns us to the central challenge Christianity ought to be handing us.
