The Abbey Chronicles Trilogy
Available now at http://www.clarkeide.com.
Have you ever found yourself sitting or kneeling in your church, listening with one ear to the service…maybe looking around a bit at the others, or at the art work or stained glass, and suddenly (or slowly) beginning to wonder what the message was every Sunday, what the idea of all of these people coming together really was, what they might be really thinking, both of the service or of those around them, or, especially, what you and they were being taught? No doubt, most of us have. Ready for a new look at the spiritual life?
Jean Moreau, protagonist in the Abbey Chronicles Trilogy, is a modern day monk in the fictional Abbey of Kervennec in Brittany, France. He thinks outside the box of traditional religion, bringing readers a new perspective on what it means to be a spiritual being.
Through trial and error, love for a beautiful woman, and tussles with authority in the abbey, he finds the road to Awareness, the key to the spiritual life.
His adventures make darn good stories, but, just as importantly, they will get you to thinking about how to establish a real connection with the Divine, to help give life more meaning and hope, and perhaps leave some of the dogma behind.
Critically acclaimed*, this series will change the way you view religion and spirit forever. It will be a source of liberation as you come to understand Jean’s lessons and his comprehension of the Truth of our Higher Selves.
