The Sacred Shadow

How might life look if we lived as though eternity is now? Many of us have fallen into a trap, thinking that God and His kingdom are "up there somewhere" as if He and His dwelling place are distant in reach and in time. But, Jesus came teaching a very different reality.To every physical aspect of creation, there is a spiritual counterpart. When God created the world, He called it very good. He declared it to be sacred by placing His own image in the world through humanity. He charged humanity to fill the earth, to take dominion, to declare who God is. So, the here and now, this present reality…this is sacred. The tangible is not evil, it is a gift from God. And yet, it's not the end all be all. It is just the beginning, a glimpse, a shadow of the greater reality.Here we live in the sacred shadow, but one day, when we pass through the veil of perception which blurs our present reality, when we step over the thread of time which is a boundary for now, but won't be a boundary forever and certainly isn't a boundary for God, we will step out of the sacred shadow and into the sacred substance.In Courtney Cohen's latest book, The Sacred Shadow, explore what reality truly is, encounter the near presence of God, challenge your perception of eternity, and discover the sacredness that exists now during our brief time spent in this shadow-land.What Leaders Are Saying About The Sacred Shadow…"The Sacred Shadow is the perfect book to read when trying to make sense of the world we live in. It invites us to discover and understand that eternity is our real home, and we are just passing through earth, pilgrims headed to our glorious promised land. I urge you to read on. And, if you're like me and you get excited at the thought of the supernatural heaven, the spirit world, and holy mysteries being revealed, you will likely call The Sacred Shadow one of your favorites."Christine D'ClarioInternational Worship Leader & Award-Winning ArtistAuthor of Prodigal Heart "How does an infinite God go about communicating eternal spiritual Truth to the limited hearts and minds of the people He loves? How does a wise father teach young children his ways? In The Sacred Shadow, Courtney Cohen has put her finger on the method of God: hiding every secret and each mystery like Easter Eggs in tufts of grass - barely hidden in the shadows, where they can be found by those who seek them. Every shadow is cast by a great light shining upon a solid reality, and Cohen insightfully redirects our eyes from each shadow to the solid Truth it represents - and to the Great Light that shines behind each of them. Prepare yourself to gather treasures, because Cohen is leading us on the hunt, and there is wisdom to share for those who seek it."Pastor Zach NeeseWorship Pastor, Gateway ChurchAuthor of How to Worship a King
