Taking an unflinchingly realistic look at the global crises we face, yet offering empowerment and hope instead of grim despair, this powerful new narrative transforms the cold, scientific facts of the universe into a soulful story of creation that is reminiscent of humanity’s stories of the ages. Told through a dialogue between a seeker and his sage, the worldview developed here transcends dogma and belief, giving readers a new way to reconnect with the cosmos. Human history is grounded into the larger history of the universe, revealing a context for understanding how humanity has created these global crises and what we can do about them. Through the dialogue, the seeker realizes his importance in the larger story and finds his path in the midst of the turbulence of our times.

"For those of us who have respect for the scientific method—but who also call ourselves 'spiritual but not religious,' who seek a spirituality unburdened by the chains of dogma, who seek a deep connection with Creation that is based in awe and reverence for nature and the cosmos—David Christopher has done a marvelous job in helping us reclaim the word 'Holy.'"  —John Robbins, author, The Food Revolution

"From past to present, from mythos to mapping a practical path, The Holy Universe offers powerful insights, inspiring us all to care and then take conscious action from a deeply connected place." —Julia Butterfly Hill, author, The Legacy of Luna

"The story of our shared origins—not just as humanity or even life, but as the Universe itself—must be told again and again for us to come home once more in time and space, to be at ease and connected. David’s telling as a conversation between Sage and Seeker brings the vastness of the story closer to our daily experience. His is a fresh and accessible voice." —Vicki Robin, coauthor, Your Money or Your Life

"Insightful and thought-provoking; connects the dots between challenges faced by ancient cultures and those confronting us today, in ways that inspire us all to take action."  —John Perkins, author, Confessions of an Economic Hit Man
