You may have found a way to “awaken the masses”. You are not only a wonderful writer but a Master Teacher. You explained to me concepts that I have been struggling to fully comprehend. The lessons you incorporated in the story will not affect those who are not ready for the awakening, they will just enjoy the story, but the thousands and thousands who are almost there will not be able to read this story without being forever changed and at the very least gain a thirst to know more. I am truly inspired to be more, more than I was in each of my past lives. To embrace my lessons and become more than I was. The Meadow Truly is a wonderful touching novel. From an entertainment standpoint it has all the romance and excitement, adventure and intrigue anyone could want in an entertaining story. It was my pleasure to read this book. I spent many hours traveling through time and visiting interesting lands with you as I read. It was at times hard to put down as I fell in love with the charters in the story I had a hard time leaving them to their next adventure. The story line grabs you from the first page and wraps you up in a intriguing web that is truly spellbinding. I have been enjoying books since I was 6 years old and learned to read. I can truthfully say I have never read a book that was written like The Meadow. You managed to put it together in a way I have never before encountered. The way you introduce the story and move on to all the different lives our heroes experience is wonderful. Then just when it is least expected the story burst out into the real adventure, It really took me by surprise, as if the first 83 pages we not exciting and compelling enough suddenly we are thrown into a adventure of epic importance! That was when it really got hard to put down. I must admit wholeheartedly the third surprise at the end was by far my favorite part of the whole book. And surprise is exactly what it was. As if I had not just finished a heart stopping adventure, I thought I was done with the story and sadly it was over… I turned the page completely expecting a authors note on the whole story… Wow! What a surprise I had. I would recommend this book for the last chapter if nothing else! You really did do a wonderful job in creating The Meadow. I am excitedly looking forward to the sequel…hint hint…. Thank you again for sharing this amazing story with me. Brenda Watts Dear Mike and Elfreda,

Having problems with my computer I guess , I couldn't get links to work, it must be a setting. I'll have to check that today. I am very impressed. It must be kizmit that we have met, cause although I haven't had my past lives regressed, I have the bloodline . I am american as you know, a Vicar , and part of it is doing the genealogy. I have quite a unique bloodline, not famous, as I know , but there was a Vicar Susan Swindelles in England in 1600's found her on google. And so that freaked me out. This is just a few of the things i've been through on this genealogical journey. I wonder if she is related , wouldn't that be a trip! Then , other relatives came over on the Mayflower in 1492, my son will get a scholarship for college for that one. Thomas Rogers, was my gr, gr, gr, gr, grandfather's name, he came over with his son, Joseph. They left England for religious persercution. So they say anyways. His son Joseph had to go live with William Bradford the Governor of Massachusetts at the time of Thomas's death , he died on the ship while building the town, what was known as the (sickness). When Joseph was 18 , he married and was given a parcel of land (which is now in cape cod ) from William Bradford , to start his life. So did his brother Richard. More is known about Joseph. And this goes on and on. Until present day and thats only one side of my family. I live and always have in Rhode Island , USA. Where upon my 30th birthday I sustained lifethreatening injuries I live with till this day. I am still on my quest for the genealogical research as the Native American aspect of it never seems to be easy. But as in your book I feel my own family has relived their souls , over and over again through time. Possibly it has been me, with this life not being lucky, or perhaps they all had an accident at 30, who knows. I would love to read this book and find out how their lives end up. Although I won't get my hopes up too high. As you put it, only fairy tales have happy endings. Thank you, Vicar Susan Ann Swindelles Well, I am looking forward to this book coming out.

I had a boyfriend many many years ago and we were parted and to this day do not know why. We were recently reunited and we have been overwhelmed by this. I am very much into my Celtic background and I know where my Mother's family came from in Scotland. I just found out that my old boyfriend's family origins were very close to the borders area of Scotland that my family was from---with in about thirty miles. I was born in the USA and so was my old boyfriend and we have never been to Scotland but there you go. I told him recently that I thought that our story was not ours at all but that of another couple from another time. I feel this and believe this with all my heart. How will our story end this time--I don't know! I think you were guided to me---I have goose bumps. You can be sure I want to purchase a copy of your book---- Thank you LB P.S. Nether one of our families had researched family roots past America and it was only recently that I found out about my Clan Scott roots. Wow–I am going through something like this in my real life.

]]> Comment on Comment and interview with William P. Young, author of The Shack, #1 The Times best seller by Moriah Conquering Wind http://themeadownovel.wordpress.com/comment-and-interview-with-william-p-young-author-of-the-shack-1-the-times-best-seller/#comment-580 Moriah Conquering Wind Mon, 22 Jun 2009 17:59:57 +0000 http://themeadownovel.wordpress.com/?page_id=57#comment-580 OK ... officially intrigued now. With the descriptions of a love encompassing many lives throughout millenia, it sounds like you've tapped Moriah's well here, become aware of its archetype or at least a major component involved in its incarnation. Depending on how you respond to this, it might like to discuss further. But first it needs reading the excerpts you have here online to determine if its initial impression has been accurate. Also interesting you've hooked up with the author of The Shack, as this would be the first thing that came to mind when reading about The Meadow. Where The Shack sought to reveal the eternal embrace of the Loving All-Father (pictured as a woman too, clever touch!) it sounds like the Meadow aims to reveal the eternal dance of Lover and Beloved. Moriah knows this dance well, as it has been intimately involved in it through many lifetimes spanning many cultures and many millenia. Bes you acquainted with the anthem from the Gnostic Mass by any chance? It contains a mystic formula regarding this dance. OK … officially intrigued now.
