The Grand Option: Personal Transformation and a New Creation (Gethsemani Studies in Psychological & Religious Anthropology) Book

"A book as luminous as it is deep, _The Grand Option_ presents us with a global spirituality for the future?an immense and exultant vision of transformation and communion consciousness. Reading it, one cannot help but be seized by the wish that every person on the planet would take Dr. Bruteau's profound vision to heart; there would surely be a New Creation." ?Sue Monk Kidd, author of _The Dance of the Dissident Daughter_ and _When the Heart Waits_ "Building on the work of Teilhard de Chardin, the _Grand Option_ masterfully provides the pathway to a new social order based on universal inclusiveness and the unique value of each individual. A modern classic of practical spirituality for the twenty-first century." ?Rabbi Lewis D.

In transcendent freedom, a profound communion consciousness gives birth to global, wholistic community. Bruteau?s integral vision is as compelling as it is concrete. In this work of philosophical, theological, and psychological anthropology, she presents a cogent spiritual praxis that possesses the power to initiate a psychic revolution.
