Eyes of Sophia is a true love story which confirms the multi-dimensional nature of our existence. This story shows us that we really do co-create our lives in concert with a loving and organizing Divine Presence, Sophia, which speaks to us through our hearts. Too often we are easily intimidated by the authority and advice of the outer world and cease to trust these tender feelings which offer us continual and perfect guidance. The magical tapestry of events we experience when reading Eyes of Sophia is given credence by a series of extraordinary photographs and we are blessed with the revelation that, indeed, we can attain our hearts' desires. "This book is an extraordinary account by two extraordinary people. Given the premise that Sophia's world lies hidden and invisible within this one the continual synchronicities abounding in this true story make sense, if not serving as proof of its existence. Though the account is extremely personal it touches the universal and thus becomes meaningful to anyone reading it. It's Donna's loving and enthusiastic eye that reveals it and Alan's charming and rational acceptance that gives it form. I marvel that I had the privilege of playing a small part in this unusual drama!" -Alice O. Howell Author of The Web in the Sea and The Dove in the Stone "You and Donna have experienced, certainly at a feeling state, at least one other cognitive band of this total reality and you appear to have some space-time cognitive data in the form of your pictures to confirm that something extra-ordinary was happening." -William A. Tiller, PhD Author of Science and Human Transformation (written after viewing the photographs, September, 1995) "This is a truly spiritual book, in which the presence of divine love allows the experience of human love to flourish. It can be read as a romantic story like Bridges of Madison County, but here the romance is allowed to flourish and lead to a sustained relationship, and there is an experience of divine grace as well as human passion." -Harvey Honig Jungian Analyst "Exceptionally written by two brilliant souls, one who--although already knowing she was on her perfect path--still continued to question the symbols along the way; while the other's eyes were slowly beginning to focus on truth and authenticity instead of the superfluous. Each overlooked the external to follow the twisting, winding path that was filled with intent and purpose. It is a rarity to find individuals so willing to lovingly examine and absorb the many messages the rest of us ignore as we go about our lives on 'auto pilot.' A wonderful, refreshing true love story that affirms the closer we get to our own authentic selves, the more blissful our joy--joy that flourishes in the knowledge that there are no accidents and that cause never was the reason." -Kimberly Largent Managing Editor The Health Strategist Eyes of Sophia is a love story...a grand and wondrous love story about the authors, and their relationship with Sophia, the Spirit in their hearts. Further, Donna May and Alan Chien have given us a story about synchronicity and destiny...and the ability to listen to, and the courage to follow our hearts. Abundant synchronicities (events that on the level of cause and effect are amazing coincidences) brought Donna May and Alan together, and together, and together...each time deepening their relationship. Included in the synchronicities are a series of intriguing photographs which give credence to the story. Eyes of Sophia is a transformational story that teaches the creative use of metaphor in understanding the relevance and significance of coincidences. Creatively woven together in the events in this story are spiritual metaphors of the Wizard of Oz, the Tree of Life, Kabbala and the dynamics of the life-force and chakras, including the splen

From that irresistible beginning, Sophie becomes obsessed with questions that take her far beyond what she knows of her Norwegian village. Through those letters, she enrolls in a kind of correspondence course, covering Socrates to Sartre, with a mysterious philosopher, while receiving letters addressed to another girl. Who is Hilde?

"When I read a novel, I want a satisfying experience, like a fine meal with a great bottle of wine. As I was reading Sophia's Lovers. I kept feeling like each page turn was another sip of that perfect glass of wine. I wanted more. Christine Regan Lake is a masterful writer and storyteller: she has created stories within stories, and she succeeded in making very sure that I cared about her characters. Yes indeed, this is an emotional and spiritual experience one doesn't usually encounter in a novel about love and death and retribution." - Sheila Pearl, M.S.W., Speaker & Author in "Pearls of Wisdom" & "Sparks of Passions"

Women are looking for new ways to know themselves and to connect with God, two forms of knowledge that are intrinsically linked. Many have left traditional religion in frustration that it didn't reflect their real lives, turning instead to alternative spiritualities that purport to honor women's experience. In this post-feminist interpretation of Christianity, Lilian Calles Barger challenges both Christian tradition and feminist trends in spirituality to provide a fresh and inspiring look at divine wisdom, opening women's awareness to the voice of God in the world.
