1185. Bishop Hugh takes on the re-building of Lincoln Cathedral after a devastating earthquake, and attempts to calm superstitious town folk among Christian and Jewish communities, some of whom seek to lay blame at the feet of a poor ‘idiot’ child. 1981. Journalist and stay-at-home dad, Pete, tries to get inside the mind of his autistic son, and at the same time, make sense of a chaotic world of riots, assassinations and religious strife. Lincoln Cathedral is the setting for a thrilling story, alongside an exploration of what is real, what can be known, what is Faith, and is there really a God? This fascinating journey of alternating stories weaves real historical figures and events with an exploration of what is possible, of angels, and of saving the Western and Islamic worlds from their own violence and prejudice. “Fitzmaurice’s writing is gutsy and authentic, and she weaves a complex and satisfying plot. Images and scenes have remained with me long after reading. Her intellect and delight in language are the guiding forces here.” Mary McCallum, Radio New Zealand (Montana-winning author of The Blue)"This is so much more than a novel. It is a journey. It is a mind opening experience." JV Manning, author of Random Thoughts n Lotsa Coffee

Sue Fitzmaurice provides us with an insightful as well as inspirational road map for the journey. ~Eleanor Brownn, author of Mile 9Many writers presenting thoughts about worthiness and finding one’s purpose sound lofty and grandiose, like they’re preaching from a pedestal.

Personally meaningful and great read.

"Sue Fitzmaurice's Purpose 2 - Making Sure Your Purpose Finds You needs to be on your Must Read list. At the top. If you are a woman in your forties or older - forget everything else you're doing at the moment and read it NOW. We all have an unlimited potential within us - we simply don't realise it. Sue's book will help you not only recognize that potential but access it and become the best, most creative, most purpose-filled You possible. Why would you not do that when it opens up a world where everything and anything is possible."&nbsp;Angelique Jurd, author of Jessie's Smile and seven other novels.Following on from her successful Purpose - The Elements of Purpose, Sue Fitzmaurice gets into the nitty-gritty of finding and making your purpose happen. Or, more to the point, setting up the right conditions in your life so that your purpose finds you.&nbsp;She begins with what is fast becoming an essential discussion: What purpose isn't! Sadly, in our haste to abbreviate, simplify, and create a meme for everything, the idea that purpose is simply marrying what you love doing with making a living, is almost completely wrong.&nbsp;Sue responds to the increasing everyday reality that is our deep-seated desire to know why we're here and what we're supposed to be doing and goes on to explain the many and varied distractions that keep us from our purpose.&nbsp;"In this book, Sue Fitzmaurice tackles a giant problem: purpose. She approaches the question from a different angle that I know will help people cut through the clutter of other ideas and take a deep breath of relief as they learn that tuning into purpose can be so much easier than it seems."&nbsp;Jacob Nordby, author of Blessed Are the Weird - A Manifesto for Creatives

The Smart Seeker's Guide to Spiritual Bullshit

Independently published

JOURNEYS WITH THE DIVINE FEMININE is a collection of 24 personal stories of women's experiences in discovering the Divine Feminine and journeying within to experience it, understand it, and grow from it. You will see yourself reflected here. You will see paths you didn't know existed. You even may feel freer to walk some paths you may have been afraid to venture down. The writers are from Irish, Dutch, German, Scottish, North American, Trinidadian, English, Indian, French, Australian, New Zealand, and New Zealand Maori backgrounds, with combinations of Jewish, Christian, Buddhist, Hindu, Pagan, Wiccan, Baha'i, and other religious and spiritual practices and traditions. They are writers and artists, therapists and coaches, mothers and grandmothers, academics, yoga teachers, psychics and healers, nurses and salespeople, sisters and daughters. The re-emergence of the Divine Feminine from oppression, suppression, repression, and, ultimately, depression is vital to restoring the balance of this world and all who live on this planet. Too long we have been living a lopsided life as the forgiveness, love, and compassion so sorely needed have been lost and are now being resurrected. ~Patricia Iris Kerins (Foreword) The women's journeys are often physical - to sacred places around the world, genealogical - exploring the gifts and wisdom of their ancestors near and far, intellectual, and always emotional. Their experience of the Divine Feminine is necessarily spiritual - encompassing a myriad of different meanings of that term - revealing that the Sacred is rooted in the soil as much as the heavens. Collated and edited by author Sue Fitzmaurice, here are two dozen souls laid bare, with all the courage and generosity of spirit that it takes to share one's deepest self with the world.
