I read, no, devoured Vision of the Grail, while my departing flight was delayed at an International airport. For the first time ever, I was happy to be stranded at the airport. I simply could not put the book down. It reads as a suspense novel with twists and turns, only instead of whodunit, one wonders where the next piece of the puzzle is coming from.

"As a journalist and author, I've naturally read a lot of books over the course of my career. Some were read for professional research or review purposes, many were read as part of my own personal quest for spiritual enlightenment and truth. Some of them left their imprint on my memory; many more simply faded from mind the moment I was through. Only rarely have I chanced upon a book that made such a profound impression that I would recommend it to every friend who shares my interest in metaphysics. One such book is Vision of the Grail, by Kathleen Jacoby. In fact, I was so impressed by Kathleen's book that I immediately contacted her and asked if she would allow us to publish an extract.

The ideas and thoughts in the book are absolutely wonderful. I especially appreciated the work that must have gone into the Resource Guide for each chapter. I kind of likened some of the chapters to the idea of the scriptures in regards to finding or discovering the Pearl of Great Price.

Vicki - Opening to Spirit
This is a story of spiritual enlightenment and the search for meaning in life. Beginning with a message to "find the Holy Grail" the main character is followed through a sequence of personal meetings and events which confirm and direct her search. In this fictionalized journey, the Holy Grail, it seems, is about the process of achieving higher levels of spiritual awakening and universal connection.

This lovely and well-written book is about bringing all the pieces of life's puzzle together. From cleansing and healing our physical bodies, to resolving emotional and relationship issues, to understanding our inner selves and our place along the universal hologram --this story speaks to the soul of each reader in a unique and powerful way.

Throughout the text, readers find reference to many of today's popular catch-phrases such as synchronicity, attunement, energy fields, labyrinths and sacred geometry. Pieces of the puzzle which come to each of us in our own time and place, according to our own readiness.

Perhaps of greatest importance is the concept of integrating all these methods and approaches, honoring all beliefs and perspectives. Too many human wars have been fought over religious and conceptual differences. The Vision of the Grail clearly demonstrates the common threads among us and challenges us to grow beyond the old habits and systems which hinder us from achieving a true oneness in Spirit.

"The most enlightening novel since The Celestine Prophesy. This book will ignite your Spirit!"

THIS BOOK IS TERRIFIC! - by Alix Taylor
The author receives the assignment to look for the Grail. She is perplexed but not for long as events and people conspire to lead her to numerous discoveries, from the labyrinth in San Francisco to a group of remarkable people in New Mexico. This is a most inspiring book which brings author and reader to life-affirming insights as the narrator meets up with people in all walks of life who share an awareness of the Divine. From sacred geometry, astronomy, ancient uses for sound and color, and the understanding of magnetic and electric fields, we are brought to an awareness that a shift in consciousness is in process of occurring and that we are called to participate in this transformation. In her search for the Grail, the narrator discovers that "The requirement of the Grail in all traditions, whether searching for a cup, a stone, or a sacred geometrical formula, was the willingness to risk self to the unknown... it became an object throughout history held as a touchstone to something that would transform us into what we were meant to be."

The narrator makes of her search an exciting one, one in which she takes us with her to share her insights and revelations. This well-written book ends with a helpful glossary of terms, as well as a list of books relating to the fields of inquiry she touches on in this novel.
