Art and Spiritual Transformation: The Seven Stages of Death and Rebirth
"This visually appealing work will charm artists, students of psychology, and spiritual seekers." (Library Journal, July 2009)"Spirituality and art join hands in this seven-stage journey represented in art form and exploring the author's own meditation practice." (The Midwest Book Review, Sept 2009)"A very compelling read." (Nexus, Colorado's Holistic Journal, Nov/Dec 2009)"Instead of being simply a well-educated author, who could have easily lost and/or bored many readers by offering highbrow academic-speak, Eversole brings this book to life as he shares his own personal transformations, including his need for therapy at one point, his series of dreams, and his spontaneous mystical experience. Allowing the reader access to his inner life, in a casually intelligent manner, ensures one's rapt attention throughout the reading of this work and shows his inherent bravery in doing so." (G.L. Giles, MetaCreative Magazine, March 2010)"As an artist myself, I am indebted to this wonderful, personal, and touching book by Finley Eversole. It made me return to studying my own work from a new perspective. . . . This book is definitely a 'must have' for any aspiring artist, both of fine arts and prose, as it reveals in very clear terms the link between image, archetype, and reality." (Lesley Cunningham, New Dawn, No. 120, May-June 2010)"Art and Spiritual Transformationis a particular treat for anyone with an interest in both spirituality and art. . . . The book includes a particularly interesting discussion by Mr. Eversole on 'Art and the Evolution of Consciousness'. . . . this book offers some stimulating, thoughtful, and insightful comments on which to ponder." (The Beacon, Vol. LXIII, No. 1, Jan-Mar 2010)
