Sacred History - Hardcover
Synopsis
This is an alternative narrative of human history, 'a sort of folk history of the world', which weaves together stories of men and women who had visionary experiences involving angels, daemons or other supernatural powers. A spellbinding display of the place of mystery and mysticism in human experience, it features key episodes in religious scriptures, moments in the lives of such potent cultural figures as Joan of Arc and Abraham Lincoln and tales from African, Native American and Celtic traditions.

Review
'A new bible for the New Age, weaving mystical traditions from East and West, astrology, alchemy and angels into one amazing, life-enhancing story' Gyles Brandreth. 'The Sacred History is unlike any book I have ever read about spirituality. It challenged my beliefs from the very beginning and has renewed my faith in the fundamentally spiritual nature of reality' Philip Carr-Gomm, Chief of the Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids. 'A masterpiece. From the moment I began reading this book, I knew Booth had accomplished a remarkable feat of repositioning ancient knowledge in such a way that we see truth through yet another lens. I absolutely loved this book' Caroline Myss, author of Anatomy of the Spirit and Sacred Contracts. 'An aesthetic delight. But, more importantly, it deserves to be studied and read. Black is that rare thing: an author who is at once deeply esoteric and highly accessible. With The Secret History and The Sacred History, Black is doing for spirituality what The God Delusion and God is Not Great have done for materialism. Let's hope he opens the floodgates' Sevak Edward Gulbekian, New Review.
