Code of Christ

Introducing new reprints by Gerald Heard: The Creed of Christ The Code of Christ Training for the Life of the Spirit Prayers and Meditations"e;There was a period in my early thirties when these four small books by Gerald Heard served almost as my bible. I read and reread them, and invariably found them to be uplifting and inspiring."e; - Professor Huston Smith"e;Gerald Heard was an inspiring voice for the life of the spirit. Wipf & Stock is to be commended that Heard's remarkable work is being made available to a new generation of spiritual seekers."e; - Dr. William H. ForthmanThe Code of Christ is Gerald Heard's sequel to The Creed of Christ. In this volume Heard emphasizes how, "e;Christianity is in essence a way of life for us to live."e; That way of life is systematically presented in the Beatitudes, which contain, "e;a message needing decoding."e; Heard authoritatively decodes this central message of Christ: "e;The world exists for man to achieve union with God. The universe and life are the means whereby souls achieve Enlightenment and Liberation."e;Once enlightenment is achieved, the "e;perfected soul turns back and stands incandescent with compassion, to light others on their way home."e; The Code of Christ is essential reading for those desiring a deeper understanding of Christ's message. Gerald Heard's thoughtful musings skillfully expound the mystical truths of Christianity.
