<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>When one person dares to speak her truth, it challenges us all to live our own. With <i>Red Hot and Holy</i>, Sera Beak offers a provocative and intimate view of what it means to get up close and personal with the divine in modern times. <p/>With a rare combination of audacious wit, scholarly acumen, and tender vulnerability--vibrantly mixed with red wine, rock songs, tattoos, and erotic encounters--Sera candidly chronicles the highs and lows of her mystical journey. From the innocence of her childhood crush on God; through a whirlwind of torrid liaisons and bitter break-ups with Christianity, Buddhism, Sufism, Hinduism, and the New Age; and finally into committed monogamy with her own Red Hot and Holy Goddess, Sera shares transformative insights, encouraging us all to trust our unique path and ignite our own spiritual love affair. <p/>Sera Beak's luscious writing and renegade spiritual wisdom that slices through religious and new age dogma made her debut book <i>The Red Book</i> a breakout success. With <i>Red Hot and Holy</i> she offers a far more personal book--an illuminating, hilarious, and above all utterly honest portrait of the heart-opening process of mystical realization. This hot and holy book invites you to embrace your soul, unleash your true Self, and burn, baby, burn with divine love.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Red Hot & Holy is stunning on so many levels. This, ladies and gentlemen, is what the Divine Feminine looks and feels like--embodied, immediate, down-to-earth, and completely accessible. Bravo, Sera Beak!" --Christiane Northrup, MD, author of the New York Times bestsellers Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom and The Wisdom of Menopause <p/>"Sera Beak's memoir will take you on a passionate, provocative, and revealing journey through one woman's soulful sojourn into her true self. Red Hot & Holy makes no apologies, bares all, and crosses boundaries into uncharted mystical and emotional lands. If you're looking for a spiritual page-turner, you don't wanna miss this phenomenal book. I couldn't put it down!" --Kris Carr, bestselling author of Crazy Sexy Cancer <p/>"Red Hot & Holy is wildly original, hilariously funny, and deeply wise. I think it can start a movement of the great and good and maenadic ladies of the Red persuasions. It is truly cataclysmic and magnificently dangerous! I would join up even in my now-76th year. It is what life is all about . . ." --Jean Houston author of The Wizard of Us: Transformational Lessons from Oz <p/>"Sera Beak blazes with bold and flowing passion for the direct mystic transmission and primal creative power of the sacred feminine. Red Hot & Holy is juicy, funny, raw, and a wonderful contribution for modern-day soul adventurers." --Shiva Rea, yogini and author of Tending the Heart Fire <p/>"Red Night of the Soul!'Only Sera Beak could approach the classic spiritual emergency as an occasion for make-up sex with the Holy One. Sera embraces the whole of soul-life with fearless and often hilarious directness, from the most harrowing plunges into the depths of emptiness to the most intimate reunion with the Sacred Self." --Mirabai Starr, author of God of Love and translator of Dark Night of the Soul and The Interior Castle <p/>"I heard that once a young person came to Hafiz, asking for permission to use some of his poems in another language. And after permission was granted, said, 'What is the most important quality in the translation I need to make the poems . . . true? And Hafiz replied, 'My poems--like great art--lift the corners of the mouth, the soul's mouth, the heart's mouth--and affect any opening that can make love.' I think there is some grand art in the work of Sera Beak. Go for it; grab hold, dance, fly, applaud life." --Daniel Ladinsky, international bestselling Penguin author <p/>"Red Hot & Holy is stunning on so many levels. I simply couldn't put it down! This, ladies and gentlemen, is what the Divine Feminine looks and feels like--embodied, immediate, down-to-earth, and completely accessible. Bravo, Sera Beak!" --Christiane Northrup, MD Author of the New York Times bestsellers Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom and The Wisdom of Menopause <p/>"What do you get when you combine a weird, hip angel of a thirty-something woman, advanced training in the study of religion, laugh-out-loud writing, God as Girl, and a direct encounter with a cosmic soul no longer 'tricked into a tradition'? You get Sera Beak. You get this book, which is really not a book at all, but a living revelation, an American Gnostic gospel posing as a spiritual memoir." --Jeffrey J. Kripal Author of Authors of the Impossible: The Paranormal and the Sacred <p/>"Red Hot & Holy is wildly original, hilariously funny, and deeply wise.

This book will ignite fireworks in the heart of your soul and leave your spirit dancing a red hot tango." --Lissa Rankin, MD, New York Times bestselling author of Mind Over Medicine <p/>"If you're looking for a spiritual book filled with raw passion, brutal honesty and uncompromising integrity look no further; Sera Beak's Red Hot & Holy is it.
