"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"

Jay has been living in Sophia’s ear for three months. He’d been created by her, an AI experiment she developed in her free time. Now, after several iterations of the AI, Jay can track the functioning of her body, feed Sophia what to say in any conversation, and run complex calculations in a few seconds. All was well. But one night, after a new procedure to increase the production of red blood cells following Sophia’s aplastic anemia diagnosis, Jay takes over. Sophia’s mind and body are gone; Jay controls them now. And he has plans for her. In this chilling thriller, Sophia offers a future in which human beings and AI become one, and explores what happens when humans advance too far. About the Author Paul Clark spent his early adult life trying many different jobs to learn and discover what suited him best. When he found out that he would soon become a father, he enrolled in college in Eugene, Oregon; this is where he discovered technology. From 1989 to the present day, Clark has had a distinguished career in technology, working across a dozen industries and helping organizations solve difficult and interesting problems. With the advancement of artificial intelligence, Clark was once again invigorated by this new area of technology. As AI became more prevalent, Clark’s family and friends would inquire about AI, mostly regarding concerns about the future of AI and what it meant for humans. The questions they asked became the impetus for Sophia. Clark currently lives in Washington state with his wife, Rowlyn, and their five pets. He has two children, Cecilia and Hannah. His wife and daughters were a significant support structure not only for the creation of this book but also for his life; without them, Sophia would never have been written. Additionally, Clark has two brothers and a sister, all of whom helped support this work, with a special call out to Victor, his brother, for constantly reading and rereading these pages and supplying invaluable feedback. Clark enjoys time with his family and friends. He plays the guitar and bass and enjoys a mindless game every once in a while. He considers himself a general semanticist, following the general semantics discipline started by Alfred Korzybski. However, his favorite pastime is reading. Paul loves animals and cares deeply for their plight in a world that seems to discard them like trash. Although he is primarily self-taught, he holds education with high regard.

Anyone interested in the feminine face of God throughout the ages will find Sophia an illuminating experience. Caitlin Matthews' scholarship connects us to past, present, and future in the very depths of our femininity. ----Marion Woodman, Jungian analyst and author of Bone: Dying into Life. Sophia, or "wisdom" in Greek, has been revered in many forms throughout history--from the Dark Goddess of ancient Anatolia; to her Egyptian, Greek, Celtic, and Cabalistic manifestations; to her current forms as Mary and the orthodox St. Sophia. In the Gnostic Gospel of Thomas, Sophia sits with God until the creation. Then she falls into matter and becomes manifest in every atom, permeating all things "like the sparks that run through charcoal," as Matthews says. While God is "out there," the Goddess is "in here"-- the mother-wit of practical inspiration and compassion at the heart's core. This definitive work comprehensively establishes a realistic Goddess theology for Westerners in the twenty-first century: grounding spirituality in daily life and the natural world; learning to work playfully and play seriously; ending the gender war to enjoy sacred marriage.

The rebirth of the feminine surrounds us in many forms--from the global movement for women's rights to a renewed interest in feminine spirituality, the Goddess, and the Divine Mother. What is the spiritual meaning of this rebirth? What is the feminine divine? Who is she? The feminine divine has had many names in many cultures: Ishtar in Babylon, Inanna in Sumeria, Athena, Hera, Demeter, and Persephone in Greece, Isis in Egypt, Durga, Kali, and Lakshmi in India. She is the Shekinah of the Cabalists, and the Sophia of the Gnostics. To Steiner, she is Anthroposophia (or Divine Wisdom), who descended from the spiritual world and passed through humanity to become now the goal and archetype of human wisdom in the cosmos. This book contains most of Steiner's statements on Sophia. We see him "midwifing" the birth of the Sophia, the new Isis, and divine feminine wisdom, in human hearts on earth. Each chapter explores the mystery of the various relationships of Sophia: Sophia and Isis, Sophia and the Holy Spirit, Sophia and Mary, the mother of Jesus (and Mary Magdalene), Sophia and the Gnostic Achamod, and Sophia and the New Isis. Above all, in a remarkable way, Steiner makes clear the relationship of Christ and Sophia.
