The Spirit Callingtakes readers on a moving, 365-day personal journey into the presence and peace of the Holy Spirit. Each-one page devotional is a letter to the reader as if it were written from the heart of the Holy Spirit. The daily readings—all developed from Scripture—are presented in a way that is both personal and enriching, ushering people into the Spirit’s presence in a more intimate way. Each elegantly designed devotional ends with a seed prayer to provoke reflection and action.

From Halloween expert Morton, a level-headed and entertaining history of our desire and attempts to hold conversations with the dead. Calling the Spirits investigates the eerie history of our conversations with the dead, from necromancy in Homer’s Odyssey to the emergence of Spiritualism—when Victorians were entranced by mediums and the seance was born. Among our cast are the Fox sisters, teenagers surrounded by “spirit rappings”; Daniel Dunglas Home, the “greatest medium of all time”; Houdini and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, whose unlikely friendship was forged, then riven, by the afterlife; and Helen Duncan, the medium whose trial in 1944 for witchcraft proved more popular to the public than news about the war. The book also considers Ouija boards, modern psychics, and paranormal investigations, and is illustrated with engravings, fine art (from beyond), and photographs. Hugely entertaining, it begs the question: is anybody there . . . ?

The words on the following pages invite you to grow in practicing the presence of God and experiencing the person and power of the Holy Spirit. Open this book to any page and experience intimacy with God and the presence of the Holy Spirit wherever you are on your faith journey. Take your time as you reflect on each 365-daily writing and ask the Spirit to speak personally to you--a loving call to comfort, teach, guide, and glorify. Let the unfailing presence of the Holy Spirit guide you in the Father's plan for your day.

****How great are Your Works, O LORD how profound Your Thoughts**** [PSALM 92:5] "It brings Joy to My Heart when you find delight in Me - in My Works - in My Thoughts. Dear friends find delight in each other's thoughts and actions, when they have deep devotion and love for each other. Draw closer and closer to Me - in oneness - as our friendship deepens. . . . And as our friendship deepens, you will know Me - truly know Me - My Thoughts - My Character - My Nature - My Love. . . . Be captured by My Love. . . . Then you will hear My Whispers to your softened heart. You shall hear My Spirit Calling."

Indigenous Peoples have always carried the knowledge necessary to heal. When our people heal, our families heal, our communities heal and our land will heal. You cannot have one without the other. These stories are teachings, prophecy and protocols shared throughout the years by elders, language speakers, medicine people and helpers. They have been the foundation to individual healing and learning self-love. They teach us how to make good decisions for ourselves and for all other aspects in our lives. When our people were young, they were sent on the land to gather as much experience and knowledge as they could, and when they returned, they would contribute what they learned. I am Syilx and Secwepemc and although many of my teachings come from this place, they also intertwine with indigenous knowledge shared through ceremony from many other nations. People from all backgrounds have embraced concepts from other parts of the world that promote self-love, healing and well-being through practices of discipline and meditation. Very little has been shared about indigenous systems and how it promotes self-love and approach to healing.
