Mystics have always faced a choice between ‘proclaiming upon the housetops’ and keeping silent. Speaking out can invite ridicule and contempt, while silence runs the risk of betraying the very source of their spiritual inspiration. Emmanuel Elliott has made his choice. The result is a compelling first-hand story of a pilgrim’s progress, all too real and yet evoking aspects of The Da Vinci Code.

There are many kinds of adventure stories that are published every year. My favourites are generally stories of spiritual adventure – stories of how one’s life has been shifted and moved by psycho-spiritual factors. Emmanuel has written such a book: a real life spiritual adventure story that reveals the amazing possibilities of change within each of us.

This is a truly extraordinary book. It contains a message that could change the world. I read it with a mixture of fascination, discomfort – and hope. An account of a lifelong search for spiritual truth, it is also something of a detective story, one in which intriguing questions are posed – and answered. Read this book with an open mind. You may be surprised where it takes you.

Emmanuel gives a clear accounting of a remarkable life journey, one that reveals a profound spiritual path full of great insights and integrity. It is easy and fun to read.

The Dawning tells of a new spiritual opening, to which more than a dozen other books already bear witness. What Emmanuel Elliott has done is to go one step farther and connect this awakening of the soul with the prophecy made at Fatima, Portugal, in 1917. Has the Second Coming already happened like ‘a thief in the night’ as foretold in the Bible? Is this the reason the Third Secret of Fatima, intended to be revealed to the world in 1960, was suppressed? The ramifications of this book can barely be contemplated. The great religions of the world should surely be united in the one supreme aim of Surrender to the Will of God. This is already the ostensible aim of both Christianity and Islam, but it has got snared and enmeshed in man’s thinking, producing divisions and dogma. Is a great reconciliation now about to happen?
