Renew your Spirit and Move Forward with Intention
Looking for inspiration in 2015? Get grounded with Spirit Stones
What could hold more promise than a new year? In the words of Dianne Ebertt Beeaff, “The turning of the year is neither an end nor a beginning, but a continuance and a renewal. With it, we are given a unique opportunity to refresh and rededicate our lives with clarity and intention.” Beeaff is the author of Spirit Stones, a book that provides spiritual grounding in the most ancient of forms.
“Spirit Stones has been, for me, a journey through some of the most powerful places in our civilization’s history,” she explains. “When we stand and reflect in many of these places, as I have been privileged to do, they inspire us to live more fully in the present and capture and apply the powerful concentration of life they express.”
Both a history lesson and a modern-day guide to what the author refers to as “spiritual fitness,” Spirit Stones captivates readers with a unique metaphysical perspective. “This lively and engaging work explains why the ancient monuments continue to renew our sense of the wonder and mystery of life,” says reviewer Kristine Morris. “Her book is an affirmation that these objects have much to teach us about living in the present.”

Providing insight into the contemporary relevance of ancient monuments like Stonehenge, Castlerigg, and Callanish, Beeaff makes masterful connections between timeless generations of humanity, leading willing participants on a quest both grounded in stone and spiritually transcendent. “Through them, we can rediscover the inexhaustible, multifaceted and wonderfully divine existence that is the life in all of us,” she explains. “Nothing is worth more than this day.”
Complete with breathtaking pictures of Western Europe’s most inspiring stone architecture, Spirit Stones is available through Amazon.com and FiveStarPublications.com. It is distributed by Ingram and Baker & Taylor. For more information about the book, visit www.SpiritStonesBook.com.
