To Go Boldly Where You've Never Gone Before

The Reverend Dr. Susan Newman opens YOUR INNER EVE by asking "Have you felt there was another you - not a mini me but another expression of yourself - a part of yourself waiting for permission to speak?" The Inner Eve is defined as the feminine expression of God's spirit residing in each of us. Throughout life's journey, we may have lost touch with our Inner Eve because of societal issues, shifts in self-esteem, and faltering faith. In order for us to sense the presence of the Holy Spirit around us and re-connect with our Inner Eve, we must allow our rational mind and our intuition to unite as one. There are seven chapters, plus a resource guide, contained in this powerful book. Each chapter addresses some aspect of the Inner Eve theory, such as proclaiming your power, walking in purpose, and being a goddess - just to name a few! This is the book that will make you stop, pause and evaluate who you are, where you are, and where you want to go! From introduction, INNER EVE had me enthralled with its flowing messages. In chapter one - Eve Where Are You?, we learn from the creation story to not speak to snakes. No, we're probably not going to see the actual serpent that Eve saw slithering around and talking to her in the Garden, but snakes are people in our lives that will attempt to deceive us, upset our personal utopias and bring heartbreak to God. This chapter coupled with the other chapters reminds us to be cognizant of our surroundings and to create our own joy by what we gather in our minds, spirits and surroundings. The messages contained in INNER EVE are written in a clear, conversational manner that sparks a new understanding. The pearls of wisdom shared by Dr. Newman are insightful and offer great opportunities for self-reflection. If you are a Christian woman seeking a closer relationship with God, I urge you to do some self-exploration with this great book! Reviewed by Nedine of The RAWSISTAZ™ Reviewers
