Neal Allen and Anne Lamott discuss "Shapes of Truth"
By Vroman's & Book Soup Live
About the book
Launching his book Shapes of Truth: Discover God Inside You, Neal Allen is joined by his wife, author Anne Lamott, in a freewheeling romp through the book, their divergent spiritual paths, ways of writing, and approaches to Covid times as newlyweds.
Hidden in your body is a set of 35 divine objects that represent aspects of God. They can grant immediate and sustained relief from everyday suffering. Shapes of Truth unveils this remarkable discovery and provides step-by-step instructions for encountering them yourself. With parallels in Platonism philosophy and Sufi mysticism, these eternal body-forms are trippy and wondrous.
