The Prayer of Silence provides a strikingly new, easy to learn, and effective method of meditation and prayer. A Near Death Experience in 1966 opened an area of spiritual awareness which Bruce Fraser MacDonald, PhD calls "the Watcher," through which he was able to heal both his badly damaged body and, later, severe brain damage from viral encephalitis. In The Prayer of Silence he shows others how to use the Watcher to find physical, emotional and spiritual healing, and how to get in touch with the divine centre of their being -- what Jesus called "the inner Kingdom of God." Practicing the Prayer of Silence opens profound areas of spiritual awareness and allows people to experience the Presence of God, to know God as Jesus did, as "Abba, Father," to talk to God as Moses did, "as a man talks to his friend" and to find Oneness with God. Bruce MacDonald's greatest contribution to the science of spiritual growth is his discovery of the Watcher, which allows people to progress rapidly and with comparative ease into areas of spiritual awareness which till now have been very difficult to achieve. About the Author: Raised in India, Canada and the US, Professor MacDonald has lectured, taught and conducted research in many universities around the world. He draws with equal ease from ancient spiritual and philosophical traditions, the teachings of Jesus, and modern science to describe a spiritual system that actually transforms lives. He writes with a simplicity and effortlessness which makes even the most difficult subjects clear. Publisher's website: http://www.strategicpublishinggroup.com/title/ThePrayerOfSilence.html

"Words fail me, or sound inadequate," writes Nova Scotia artist, Alison MacNeil. "I cannot put your book down and, no doubt, will read it over and over many times. It is incredible and wonderful, and you feel you want to burst with joy and excitement." The Thomas Book is a real life Da Vinci Code - with spiritual quest, fraud investigation, reincarnation identity theft, and a new Gospel by Didymos Judas Thomas, least known of Jesus' disciples. During a Near Death Experience in 1966, the author talked with Jesus about a "project" in which they were both involved. Bruce Fraser MacDonald writes, "When I came back from the dead that summer, I knew something had been badly distorted in the retelling of the events of Jesus' life and death." His attempt to solve that mystery took him to England, where he earned a Ph.D. from the University of Leeds, then around the world as a university professor and researcher. His exploration, deep into the heart of spirit, confronted him with profound and challenging subjects, in addition to the Gospel itself - Gnosticism, sex and the virgin birth in the early church, the meaning of death, channelling, A Course in Miracles, Simon Magus and Gary Renard's fraudulent masters, and the evidence for Didymos Judas Thomas as the twin of Christ. But most astonishing, MacDonald's identity as the reincarnation of Judas Thomas, twin brother of Jesus, was confirmed in correspondence with reincarnation researcher Walter Semkiw, M.D. and Kevin Ryerson, spiritual guide to Shirley MacLaine.
