Rated Amazon.com's Best of 2001!
"Barefoot On Holy Ground", the book
An Excerpt
With every step on the Path, we are invited deeper into a love that is both mysterious, and so practical it transforms everything it touches. Love continually corrects our meandering and brings us back to center. It realigns us with our purpose and breathes through us into the world. It stretches us until we know no strangers to our love. Love takes us into the fiery death of lies and resurrects us to truths... To read this excerpt, Click here

"BAREFOOT ON HOLY GROUND is a goldmine of wisdom, heart, and vision. Gloria D. Karpinski is one of the great spiritual intuitives on the planet today. I love Gloria and her work, and so will you!"
Alan Cohen
author of The Dragon Doesn't Live Here Anymore

"Walking along the path where two worlds touch, Gloria Karpinski views life through the eyes of the soul. From her perspective of heightened awareness, she lifts our vision above the struggles of daily living to a place of deeper understanding. The pathway to discipleship, on which she leads us, provides one "cosmic gift" after the other. Her words penetrate like arrows hitting center. One moment we are laughing at our own misguided human condition; the next, we are having an "aha" experience that leaves our lives stretched before us, illuminated with meaning. And then, an arrow pierces the most profound of truths and lays it open for our comprehension.
With each chapter, we think of another friend who must experience this book. For with Karpinski, we navigate the hills and valleys of spiritual craftsmanship. The way is narrow and her deeply penetrating questions leave little wiggle room. She skillfully leads us into our own interior castle and we discover who we are, beloved children of Mother/Father God."

"Gloria writes with a clarity and accessibility that makes Barefoot on Holy Ground a pleasure to read. Her ability to synthesize and distill that which is Truth from the world’s spiritual traditions, coupled with her knowledge of the human psyche provides us a guidebook for continuing growth and development. This book should be required reading for those who have been walking a spiritual path for many years, as well as any who are beginners on that path."

Where Two Worlds Touch
"Where Two Worlds Touch", the book
An Excerpt
Change challenges, relieves, frustrates,. threatens, saddens, or exhilarates us. Mainly it forces us to grow. It is the mechanism through which nature ensures evolution and the way God calls us home. It scares away our illusions about ourselves and others. Angel of mercy or Saturnian disciplinarian, change is constantly tailoring us to become all that we are meant to be. It molds us as surely as winds sculpt a tree or flowing waters reshape the hardest rock. Through change we are initiated into higher and higher states of consciousness. Our consciousness is our total awareness, a synthesis of heart and mind that enables us to act... To read this excerpt, Click here
