Challenges are a necessary part of mortality. But as author M. Catherine Thomas points out, the suffering that accompanies challenges can be lessened and our joy increased through a more informed faith. Her concepts of "spiritual lightening" suggests that spiritual principles and powers can both enlighten minds and lighten burdens. Practical as well as refreshingly insightful, this book illuminates many of those principles. Working from a base of solid gospel scholarship and personal experience, the author discusses such topics as the difference between self-confidence and confidence in God, overcoming spiritual discouragement, women and the priesthood, separating fear from love in parenting, and healing through repentance. This thought-provoking book points the way to deeper understanding, personal peace, and joy in the Lord Jesus Christ.

This remarkable and penetrating book deals with some of the toughest spiritual issues of our time." Truman G. MadsenMan's mind is the last spiritual frontier. As we come to understand the difference between the experience on the Natural and the Spiritual Mind, we gain greater access to the unseen spiritual realities. We find the Light in our Wilderness is literal, and that it continually seeks access to our awareness. In Light in the Wilderness -- Explorations in the Spiritual Life, M. Catherine Thomas invites fellow seekers to search behind familiar gospel words and concepts to find greater revelation. "This is without question, the most spiritually insightful book I have ever read. Filled with transcendent themes that build on upon the other. There is more of healing, building, loving and strenghtening to be found in the pages of this book than anything--outside of the scriptures themselves-- I have ever encountered." Reader"As one who has had a death experience and spent significant time across the veil, I can say without hesitation, M. Catherine Thomas not only gets it, she gets it beyond any other person's ability to express. Her gift of language and expression create imagery and possibilities of things heavenly even more artfully than even I can, and I experienced it first hand " Reader

New Book by Catherine Thomas Author of "Light in the Wilderness" The God Seed: Probing the Mystery of Spiritual Development Release date: November 10th 2014 For behold, the mystery of godliness, how great is it! D&amp;C 19:10 ... So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast a seed into the ground; And should sleep, ... and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how. Mark 4:26-27 We believe many things but don't always know how to implement them. We believe that human beings can grow into Gods; we accept the importance of coming to Christ and also of awakening our divine attributes and powers -- but how to do that seems obscure. Likely a list of spiritual to-do's ceases to serve. So we may find ourselves seeking a more fulfilling path -- but where to set our foot? In recent years, studies in adult developmental psychology have cast unexpected light on the path to Godhood. They illustrate that human beings already possess the potent seeds for unfolding into more highly developed beings. We learn that spiritual practices can shape the mind into and instrument for facilitating spiritual growth and experience, that is, for continuing from "grace to grace." Along the way, venturing into the unknown, we shed false concepts about ourselves, about our reality, and about God Himself. The purpose of this book is to explore the path of spiritual development.
