Awakening Osiris: The Egyptian Book of the Dead Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have several translations already of the Book of the Dead, but this work is far more than that. If feel as if the author is speaking right to my soul, and built a bridge with words to a people that lived 3000 years ago, and a religious tradition that was rich and vibrant and filled with great mystery, power, and truth. Hers is a translation of spirit that is accessible to all who wish to accept it, and I believe the Book of the Dead, and in particular this addition, should be held up alongside the Bible and other sacred works as one of humanity's most revealing and inspiring works.

THE EGYPTIAN BOOK OF THE DEAD is one of the oldest and greatest classics of Western spirituality. Until now, the available translations have treated these writings as historical curiosities with little relevance to our contemporary situation. This new version, made from the hieroglyphs, approaches the Book of the Dead as a profound spiritual text capable of speaking to us today. These writings suggest that the divine realm and the human realm are not altogether separate; they remind us that the natural world, and the substance of our lives, is fashioned from the stuff of the gods. Devoted like an Egyptian scribe to the principle of "effective utterance", Normandi Ellis has produced a prose translation that reads like pure, diaphanous verse.

Legends of the Egyptian Gods: Hieroglyphic Texts and Translations Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Kim Ringenbach's review would seem to refer to a different book - this one consists entirely of Egyptian legends presented in their original hieroglyphic form with Budge's translation. One would have preferred photostats or photos of the actual documents - as it is, the texts are written in Budge's font style, which is clear and easy to read, but doesn't give much practice in reading actual texts. However, this is a very useful document for those who are studying Egyptian. I was hoping for some more populist legends like the story of Sinuhe or the Shipwrecked Sailor - these are the typical "official" stories of creation and the gods.

The Ancient Egyptian Roots of Christianity Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)In fact I rarely read books cover to cover. But I just had to write a review this time. This book was so compelling and fascinating and well supported I literally could not put it down. I read it cover to cover in one sitting. If you want to understand more about this topic, THIS IS A MUST! There are a couple of dry parts that I attribute to the author thoroughly explaining topics with supporting evidence. You will find that devout Christians will bash books like this and rush to offer 1 star reviews never having bought the book or read any part of it. TRUST ME - That is all the more reason to get this book.

This book reveals the Ancient Egyptian roots of Christianity, both historically and spiritually. This book consists of three parts to coincide with the terms of trinity. The first part demonstrates that the major biblical ancestors of the biblical Jesus are all Ancient Egyptian prominent characters. The second part demonstrates that the accounts of thehistorical Jesusare based entirely on the life and death of the Egyptian Pharaoh, Twt/Tut-Ankh-Amen. The third part demonstrates that theJesus of Faithand the Christian tenets are all Egyptian in origin such as the essence of the teachings/message, the creation of the universe and man (according to the Book of Genesis), as well as the religious holidays.
