A Christian Book Alternative to Tolle's 'A New Earth'
CANFIELD, Ohio, April 1 /Christian Newswire/ -- Pews are abuzz with concerned believers who want to know if there is a Christian book alternative to Eckhart Tolle's 'A New Earth.' Kimberly Lisowski and Andrea Pouliot, co-authors of the newly released Christian non-fiction book, 'The Apple You Were Fed,' would say yes.
Arguably, there is a need for the depth of spirituality and personal insights Tolle brings when nearly 80% of young people walk away from the Christian faith, and over 50% of Christian marriages end in divorce. 'The Apple You Were Fed' bridges this gap by offering the same spiritual awareness but from a Christian perspective.
A spiritual tutorial, which Tolle does well, can often lead to more questions about living out the concepts in a practical world of everyday problems and life issues. While Tolle teaches, Lisowski and Pouliot uniquely share from two voices: a legalistic, stay-at-home, Christian, and a working, liberal-minded agnostic. As readers eavesdrop on two relatable women who show the gritty process to spiritual freedom as it unfolds rather than communicating their findings as do teachers, questions arising about how to live in a broken world are answered.
Their lives are fair game: past secrets, parenting mishaps, stressed marriages, struggling faith… they show all of it. By discipling readers through their trials of everyday life, Lisowski and Pouliot push past intellectual barriers, and force honest dialogue about deeper personal matters allowing readers to follow their path to enlightenment- Jesus style. "People are asking, 'How do I stop the destructive patterns in my life?' or 'Why do I have it all, yet struggle with feeling unfulfilled?'" Lisowski states. By showing rather than telling, 'The Apple You Were Fed' offers perspective to those answers. Pouliot confirms, "Our hope is to share that this Truth can be found in regular lives, without having to study for years in a monastery or travel the globe. It is possible to get 'it' right at your kitchen table with a good friend."
Undoubtedly, 'The Apple You Were Fed' will be the first to fill the void 'A New Earth' has created in the Christian book world. For Tolle readers who are left in need of an anchor for the spirituality that he teaches, 'The Apple You Were Fed' will share how Jesus' message of love had this "Truth" all along, and offer the addition of an inspiring yet practical view of how to live out this life-changing spirituality.
