Publisher's summary

Although author Joellen Saddock was raised in a Christian household, she often found herself on the outside of religion looking in. In Christian Awakening, she narrates a coming of age story about the way she discovered answers to all her tough religious questions. More than anything, her story exemplifies how God’s law actively works to multiply desires and assist in creating a life of possibilities. Her story is about man’s mountain-moving potential that has, until now, been obscured by religious hypocrites.

Christian Awakening explores the deeper meanings of the Holy Bible, how it parallels other religions, and shares the message of a loving unity between all of God’s people. Saddock prods you to set aside the idea that man begins and ends in the confines of his own skin, and suggests a broader perspective of what it means that men—of all religious backgrounds—are “given one spirit to drink” (1 Corinthians 12:13).

Through an intense scrutinization of many different biblical translations, interwoven between riveting personal experiences, a new message of religious tolerance emerges. Offering a fascinating perspective on Christ’s death, Saddock leaves you at the crossroads of the divine, suggesting the time has come to take each other by the hand and greet the dawn of “a new earth in which righteousness dwells” together as one united people (2 Peter 3:13).

An exciting journey

The bright yellow cover of Joellen Saddock's book "Christian Awakening" catches my eye. It depicts a dandelion, so I expect exuberance and hope. But I receive even more.


Inside the pages, biblical references support an easy direct style.  Some of the citations are familiar, (John 3:16), some less so, and some are the same verse from a different translation of the holy text.


 Clearly, this is a book to be studied, appreciated and, you know, 'thought about'. But I'm impatient. Throwing caution to the wind, I dash past the citations and take the author at her word.That's when the magic begins. 


Through the printed page, I am eye to eye, heart to heart with a woman of faith, her busy builder husband, and kids doing homework at the kitchen table. A woman who possesses the vision to build a scalar healing system above her garage.

She engages me, pointing to how often eleventy-three different bibles quote the creator, saying - "Love me? Stop killing! You didn't 'get' reincarnation? What about The First Adam! The Last Adam! Elijah, John the Baptist. So try manifesting! I do it when I'm helping my son with his homework." Hmm. Subtle shift. Like the old TV show. Will the real creator please stand up?


With loins now girded, I follow the author as she shines the testaments on the remnants of thought systems from sacred to cringe-worthy. I see contradictions more clearly, the brood of vipers as not just a metaphor. This book is a challenging and rewarding read.


Then, a busy time makes me reserve the last seventeen pages for a quiet afternoon. I read carefully, often rereading. I close the book.On the cover, the dandelion is in full seed, the corona about to burst open from the Eternal Child's ecstatic breath. Seeds of wisdom will fly

everywhere. 


That's when I realize I have just witnessed the moving of a mountain. If this resonates, perhaps a copy of Christian Awakening will soon grace your shelf/folder of Hay House authors.
