New Releases by James Redfield

Athens dominates textbook accounts of ancient Greece. But was it, for the Greeks themselves, a model city-state or a creative, even a corrupt, departure from the model? Or was there a model? This book reveals Epizephyrian Locri--a Greek colony on the Adriatic coast of Italy--as a third way in Greek culture, neither Athens nor Sparta. Drawing on a wide range of literary and archaeological evidence, James Redfield offers a fascinating account of this poorly understood Greek city-state, and in particular the distinctive role of women and marriage therein. Redfield devotes much of the book to placing Locri within a more general account of Greek culture, particularly with the institution of marriage in relation to private property, sexual identity, and the fate of the soul. He begins by considering the annual practice of sending two maidens from old-world Locris, the putative place of origin of the Italian Locrians, to serve in the temple of Athena at Ilion, finding here some key themes of Locrian culture. He goes on to provide a richly detailed overview of the Italian city; in a set of iconographic essays he suggests that marriage was seen in Locri as a life transformation akin to the eternal bliss hoped for after death. Nothing less than a general reevaluation of classical Greek society in both its political and theological dimensions, The Locrian Maidens is must reading for students and scholars of classics, while remaining accessible and of particular interest to those in women''s studies and to anyone seeking a broader understanding of ancient Greece.

In this special pocket edition based on one of the most beloved spiritual guides ever published, author James Redfield defines, and concisely explains, each of the Nine Insights of The Celestine Prophecy. A little book that you can carry everywhere and study at your convenience, it is a perfect way to keep in touch with our changing world and your unfolding adventure. ''[The Celestine Prophecy] homes in on the deepest, most urgent search of our times, the search for meaning...This is a book like no other'' Daily Telegraph

James Redfield debuteerde in 1994 met De Celestijnse belofte, dat tussen 1994 en 1996 onafgebroken in de boekentop-10 stond. Er zijn wereldwijd meer dan 12 miljoen exemplaren van verkocht en het is in 35 talen uitgebracht. De verfilming van het boek kwam in 2006. Nu, ruim vijftien jaar later, is James Redfield terug. De kalender van de Maya’s eindigt op 21 december 2012. Deze datum wordt door velen beschouwd als het einde der tijden, maar is dat wel zo? In Het twaalfde inzicht worden de fragmenten van een eeuwenoud mysterieus document ontdekt. In een poging het belang ervan voor het voortbestaan van de mensheid te ontdekken, barst er in een race tegen de klok een wereldwijde zoektocht los. Met Het twaalfde inzicht borduurt James Redfield op spannende en inspirerende wijze voort op de lessen die uit zijn vorige bestsellers te trekken zijn, en neemt hij de lezer mee op een spiritueel avontuur dat niemand onberoerd zal laten.

The perfect companion volume for The Tenth Insight, this hands-on guide was written to help individuals and groups implement the ideas found in that book. How can the Tenth Insight Change My Life? The insights found in The Celestine Prophecy and The Tenth Insight have touched the lives of many millions of people; they are not theoretical. When we become aware of how they work, coincidences and serendipitous encounters increase for us. As our level of consciousness expands, our vision of the world is transformed, and we get a glimpse into the heart of creation. And as we learn how thought and visualization precede reality, we can begin to harness them to benefit our own future and the future of the earth. This book provides detailed explanations and exercises on Tenth Insight topics: previous lifetimes, soul groups, birth visions, the use of dreams and prayers, the afterlife, and the World Vision. It helps us experience firsthand how our own lives fit into the eternal cycles... teaches us how to discover our own personal missions...and reveals how we can all take part in the ultimately joyful world changes described in The Tenth Insight.

The Twelfth Insight, the long-awaited fourth book in the beloved Celestine Series, offers readers new and profound spiritual wisdom. In this installment of the Celestine Series, we again follow our Hero and his close friend Wil, who have just received a portion of another ancient and mysterious manuscript that describes a secret approach to spirituality that is silently arriving in the second decade of the 21st Century. But the manuscript is only available in fragments. To understand its full meaning for mankind, our Hero and Wil begin an urgent search to find the message in its entirety. As they embrace the power of Synchronicity and begin their search, they are confronted by powerful political forces and religious extremists that stand in the way of these spiritual revelations. Utilizing what he calls the "parable effect," and based on his own sources, James Redfield explores the similarities and differences that exist among the world religions, revealing the essential messages contained within them that can energize our experience of spirituality-- and produce a new wave of integrity and reform that can transform our lives and our world.

How mysterious coincidences can lead us to our own special destiny. In this remarkable book, James Redfield focuses on our individual perceptions of synchronicity and cites examples from his own experiences as he clarifies how mysterious coincidences lead us towards our special destiny. Here, too, he examines one hundred years of discovery in psychics and psychology to show an inevitable synthesis of Eastern and Western ideas. The unmistakable message in this convergence is that human history is purposeful, that both miracles and scientific discoveries are part of the unbroken chain of evolution toward a better world.

Praise for The Celestine Prophecy "A gripping adventure story filled with intrigue, suspense, and spiritual revelations." - Commonwealth Journal "A spiritual classic...a book to read and reread, to cherish, and to give to friends." - Joan Borysenko, PhD, author of Fire in the Soul "In his inimitable style of great storytelling, Redfield opens us up to a world of insight, inspiration, synchronicity, and power." - Deepak Chopra

In a world racked by violence and conflict, James Redfield and Michael Murphy—leading cocreators of today''s spiritual boom—present a message of hope and a vision for the future. It is no accident, they argue, that the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries have witnessed a revolution in new human capacities. Daily we hear and read about supernormal athletic feats; clairvoyant perception; lives transformed by meditative practices; healing through prayer-and we ourselves experience these things. The authors contend that thousands of years of human striving have delivered us to this very moment, in which each act of self-development is creating a new stage in planetary evolution—and the emergence of a human species possessed of vastly expanded potential.

Continuing the exciting adventures of The Celestine Prophecy and The Tenth Insight, this new book takes you to the snow-covered Himalayas, in search of the legendary Tibetan utopia of Shambhala. As you follow a child''s instructions, are pursued by hostile Chinese agents, and look for a lost friend, you will experience a new awareness of synchronicity...and discover, hidden among the world''s highest mountains, the secrets that affect all humanity. For Shambhala not only actually exists, but is destined to be found in our time-and will reveal powerful truths that can transform the world.

The author continues his journey to a new spiritual awakening, trying to find the tenth insight which tells of his inborn guiding purpose in life.
