'Testament to a New Dawn: Time of Revelation' is a unique collection of transcribed messages from ascended masters and other non-physical intelligence. They are relayed through mind transference [trance] through the medium of Michael D Champion. The messages contain guidance, teaching, philosophy, mathematical formulations, parables and topical information all pertaining to our present way of life and how, if we continue upon our present course, it will affect not only the continued existence of the human race, but the whole of the planet and all life upon it. Some messages will seem quite harsh, but they are brought forward in a loving manner, just as a parent may speak to a wayward child to set him or her upon the correct path of life. It is time to learn to live together as one co-operative civilisation. If we could somehow achieve this, perhaps the suffering we see around the world at this time may be less. In the three volumes of 'Testament to a New Dawn' we are given hope of a new world to come, but it is only by learning from the past and our current situation, that we can move forward to a better future. The teachings given are profound and although there may appear to be a religious theme at times, this should not be shied away from. The messages are non-denominational and acknowledge that all faiths are as one. We must learn to recognise the universal consciousness that is attainable to everyone through prayer and meditation. The messages given in all three volumes of 'Testament to a New Dawn' are from beings who are desperately trying to gain our attention. Knowledge is key if we are to survive in the future.

In this book, the author builds on a simple premise and ideology that everyone wants to get to heaven but too many are failing to do the works that are required to get there. He likens the eventuality of that person reaching their goal to one being on a journey having no map or well-thought-out plans of the proper route to take. As a result, they become derailed in a quest for the eternal goodness. They become twisted and mangled in thoughts and deeds, beguiled by an adversary who wants to take them in another direction. And the job of the adversary is made easy, because he seduces and paints the false picture that the secular pleasures in life are rather what is fulfilling and brings these to fruition center stage in their lives any and all such things to do with an unscrupulous social life and the full works, to include marriage and divorce in which they get caught up and led astray. He also does not omit to administer the sweet pills of greed, pride, and selfishness. At the end of the day, what it boils down to is that one can otherwise miss the mark on their journey, particularly if they figured they could reach their destination based upon wishful thinking only and not play by the rules. The reading has been made very interesting by lots of humor built in, but there is nothing fictional about the rules we ought to adhere on this journey.
