THE WAY NOVEL - TRAILER.mov

Anna is a fiery tomboy living in ancient Palestine whose androgynous appearance provokes ridicule from the people around her and doubt within her own heart. When tragedy strikes her family, and Anna's father—disguising her as a boy—sells her to a band of shepherds, she is captured by a mystical and secret society of women hiding in the desert. At first Anna is tempted to escape, but she soon finds that the sisterhood's teachings and healing abilities, wrapped in an ancient philosophy they call "The Way," have unleashed an unexpected power within her.

When danger befalls the caves in which the sisters have made their home, Anna embarks on a hazardous mission to preserve the wisdom of her mentors by proclaiming it among ordinary people. Her daring quest and newfound destiny reveal, at last, the full truth of her identity—a shocking revelation that will spark as much controversy as it does celebration.

Anna's story is one of transformation, betrayal, love, loss, deception, and above all, redemption. Readers will cheer for this unforgettable protagonist—and for debut novelist Kristen Wolf, whose beautifully written book both provokes and inspires. A compelling mix of history, myth, and fantasy, The Way is a fascinating exploration of the foundations and possibilities of human spirituality.

"[an] audacious, deftly woven debut" -- Publishers Weekly

"...certain to provoke passionate discussions" - John Shors, NYT Bestselling Author of Beneath a Marble Sky

Let's face it - almost everything we've ever been taught by the system is either half lies or straight out lies! How in the hell else could so few rule over billions???

@YuriKimmer943 The only Creator that exist, the one who made this universe and that is the true WORD of God by the way, not found in a book it's in God's creation, does not interfere with our affairs. Prayer doesn't work, churches don't work, religion doesn't work. This life seems to be a learning experience on how we evolve and grow as a species. We are on our own.

@koonsite1 philosophy was never my strong point, what do you mean "GOD" resides in all of us? How can the creator of the universe reside in us when we cant even support a single burst of radiation from the sun if it werent for our atmosphere, He is to Powerful to dwell in us.

Isaiah 66:1 This is what Jehovah has said: “The heavens are my throne, and the earth is my footstool. Where, then, is the house that YOU people can build for me, and where, then, is the place as a resting-place for me?”

[koonsite1]

@koonsite1 sorry friend...i guess then that you dont have the capability to create? or destroy? or think in a field of mental consciousness that's infinite?...so then my friend can a creation create? i do perceive your angle and agree in the elevated state of existence as a pure creator...but then how did that creator become created????and if god always was there, then so were all of us--not our flesh but our light and consciousness

[Quran871]

@koonsite1 no am sorry i dont and will never believe that. everythinging in the universe and even beyond is creation not creator. i worship the lord of the worlds. i would never think of my self as a god.

[koonsite1]

@ThirdNUnion et nomeni patri et fili et spiritu sanctu...in the name of the father the son and the sanctified spirit...3-n-1...mind body soul...3-n-1 my friend you are the creator of your own creation...your consciousness IS GOD-the collective whole....its what allows you to have FREE WILL CHOICE...the ability to chooce voluntarily to reside in any phase of the collective whole of all individual states of consciousness in existence. "GOD" resides in all at once

[koonsite1]

@koonsite1 not to be contradictory because debates about

"god" are meaningless, rather to glorify the supreme ONE. i praise god, allah, krsna, because they are all the same....christ-translated as the annointed light...most logicalk nonfundamental christians know this and worship the one and only god(the collective whole of all life in all existence) in the NAME of jesus because it was jesus's story that brought them to light. we are the infinite one in our soul...

[koonsite1]

@Quran871 youre sadly mistaken, if you were a spiritually conscious being you'd know that its the consciousness of a purified light that is within us ALL that comprises thecollective whole known as "god". Jesus went through something called the" initiation of the dead" found in all ancient wisdoms...in which one achieves the consciousness shift into the elevated purity of god. it is there one realizes that I AM GOD AND SO ARE ALL OF YOU...investigate it it may suprise you a bit

[koonsite1]

@YuriKimmer943 well it was called the canon which is translated as "the norm" or "the rule" and it had the books of the prophets and the 3 books-psalms, proverbs and ecclesiastes added to the torah...honestly, for me the levitical law"law of moses" is all good but not modern..you want TRUTH and the WAY...read the 3 books in the middle..especially book 33 of the bible. the middle book has the middle way. solomon, david, and jesus were mad deep in their teachings...and thats most important here

@psychosavant great. awesome. Stupid, is an opinion. i have not a care in the world for what you think, i don't even know you! So if you read this rudely, not my fault! Just thought I'd share that with you, and have a great day! love the world <3

[psychosavant]

@imac903

Obviously somebody cares or they wouldn't be arguing about it. Even you care or you wouldn't have posted your comment. Whether you choose to acknowledge it or not, religion and the lack thereof are, have been, and always will be very important topics in the development of human civilization, regardless of whether or not any religion is technically accurate. If you think otherwise, and ESPECIALLY if you don't care, then you're STUPID.

I'm at a point of uncertainty which is more open than absolute knowledge in my opinion. Fact is, there are a lot of facts and everyone has an absolute understanding about the world... Atheism, christianity, judaism, muslims, etc... It's kind of hard to imagine that any creator would seek his creation to be so arrogant and crude to the rest of the world. Also kind of sad to see people form a niave belief system based on not believing which slaps quantum physics, archeology, n wonder n the face..
