[Dialogue] A new book from Gene Marshall

[David Dunn]

Dear Spirit-movement Friends,

I am glad to announce the availability of a new book that I think is  
very important for all of us who still treasure the heritage that Joe  
Mathews was so instrumental in inspiring.

Grace and Peace (transformative happenings and boundless equanimity),

Jacob’s Dream

A Christian Inquiry into Spirit Realization


This book explores our spirit nature (Trust, Love, and Freedom) and  
uses the enneagram analysis of personalities to assist us in our  
spirit journey.  The book also describes the important role that  
community plays in Christian nurture.  We recommend Jacob’s Dream as  
both a devotional book for solitary time and a study book for small  
group life.

For your copy mail a check for $21.00 to Gene W. Marshall; 3578 N.

you can order it through Amazon.com or from iUniverse.com for $21.95  
plus postage (or phone iUniverse at 1-877-823-9235).   Paperback, 308  
pages,  ISBN 978-1-4401-1355-0
This book is about:

Moving beyond Personality to our
essential Trust, Love, and Freedom

Using the Enneagram as a Religious Method

Probing the Role of Spirit Community and Solitude

Coming Home to Reality

Basically, this book is about describing  pathways to Spirit Maturity.
Christians have called this Sanctification,
Buddhists  Enlightenment;
we might also call it Aliveness.


About the Author
Gene W. Marshall has been on his own spirit journey for at least fifty- 
seven years.   In 1952 he made a decision to leave a mathematics  
career and attend seminary at Perkins School of Theology in Dallas,  
Texas.  In 1962 he joined a religious order of families, the  
Order:Ecumenical, and became a teacher and lecturer of spirit topics,  
traveling across the United States, Canada, Latin America, Europe and  
Asia.  These trips included a study of world cultures and religions  
and efforts to witness to the Christian breakthrough in the medium of  
these various cultures.  In 1983 he began publishing books and  
essays.  Most of this publishing was done for small groups and limited  
constituencies who were open to an innovative approach to Christian  
practice.  Nevertheless, these publications are broad in subject  
matter – a dialogue with world religions, the history of Christian  
practice, contemporary psychology, the ecological crisis, human and  
planetary history, physics, biology, and strategies for cultural- 
political-economic transition toward a more viable human presence on  
this planet.  This combination of social breadth and inward depth is  
present in this book and in other writings by this author.  Gene  
Marshall now lives with his wife Joyce in an energy efficient straw- 
bale home in Bonham, Texas which  is also a meeting place and the  
office of Realistic Living, a nonprofit research and educational  
organization staffed by this couple.
