Diamonds of the Holy Heart: Chronicles of the Free Ones

In this, her second collection of "contemporary Psalms," Dr. Ann Marie Nielsen has surpassed even the illumined Pearls of the Presence.

From the blossom of a contemplative life, decades of sacred devotion, and out of the depths of her compassionate, God-filled presence, Dr. Nielsen has penned a sublime book of mystically inspired verse.

Immediately breathtaking, and heart-warmingly tender and compassionate throughout - and, equally bravely, yet tenderheartedly candid of the human condition many unwittingly deny rather than allow themselves to face and heal - this profound collection of 15 oratorios shower the spiritually receptive reader with cascades of love, insight, understanding, comfort, hope, encouragement and inspiration.

From the opening verses, each Chapter captures and exhilarates the spiritual mind, and gently, often provokingly (as Dr. Nielsen says, "blowing away the labyrinth of the shadow"), opens the heart to receive the love and light of authenticity, healing, joy and liberation.

Most beautifully - maybe most significantly today - Diamonds of the Holy Heart: Chronicles of the Free Ones speaks to the oneness of all people and of all walks of life. It dissolves separation, dogma and denomination and warmingly invites the peoples of every faith to a feast of unconditional love and kindheartdness; to see and treat all as treasured brother and sister; and to fill every moment and place of consciousness with divine love and compassion for all, as One, heart-in-heart with Mother-Father God.

FROM THE BACK COVER

Diamonds of the Holy Heart adeptly pierces through the fog of humanity's pain, insensitivity, lostness, and suffering.

Each chapter of diamond verse reveals the underpinnings of the global family's shadow of coal, its aeons of suffering.

Rather than running from our shadow, this scripture scroll of riveting, glorious and humorous messages, welcomes the hurt places right into the heart of love, transmuting every coal of dark nights and hard experience into grand auspicious forums for diamond after diamond of love, joy, miraculousness and true peace.

These writings, more than any other of Ahavah's to date, invite the reader to the most tender places of raw soft potent power for goodness. They call humankind to join together in the places where we cry-we meet there, and glean the diamond there, and then come alive as the Diamond of the Presence, the Reality of Oneness with the One God.

Diamonds of the Holy Heart calls the reader Home, Home, Home, inside. In this inner palace, of the diamonds of love, grace, compassion, clarity and wisdom, the way is seen how to share this diamond-as heaven as earth.

Diamonds of the Holy Heart takes us right into the heartbreak, and through it to every realm of elevated experience. Nothing is hidden, bypassed, denied, or evaded. Thus an immense relief breaks through like the rising sun at dawn. The sky of the heart alights in innocence and fresh new joys in each instant.

We come alive as the Diamond of the Holy Heart ... free ones.
