Thank you, Mrs. Booth!


                                         

Annice Booth, author of many of the books I’ve recommended, left this world for the higher octaves of light on April 6, 2011. She would have been 91 years old this May.

While I’m not quite sure how things are done up there, my guess is that all in heaven are celebrating her arrival!

Mrs. Booth accomplished quite a bit in her lifetime and had many interesting and unique spiritual experiences as she followed the Path of Personal Christhood outlined by the Great White Brotherhood through their messengers Mark and Elizabeth Prophet.

Author of several books, including Memories of Mark: My Life with Mark Prophet; The Path to Your Ascension: Rediscovering Life’s Ultimate Purpose and Secrets of Prosperity, Abundance in the 21st Century, Mrs. Booth also edited the Climb the Highest Mountain series and compiled and edited The Masters and Their Retreats.

Of all the books by Mrs. Booth that I've read, my favorite is The Path to Your Ascension. The deep faith, hope, charity and gratitude that filled her soul, directed her life and shone through her bright blue eyes are expressed in the very first lines of the Preface:

As I sit here in my home in Montana and gaze upon the mountains covered with snow, my meditations are upon the soul’s ascent to God.

I am reminded of the song of the Psalmist, “I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord which made heaven and earth.” And all I can do is cry from a heart full of love and gratitude, “O God, you are so magnificent!”

I shall always remember the day I met Mark and Elizabeth Prophet--truly a milestone in my life. I came from a Christian Fundamentalist background and later studied the teachings of Unity. But not until I discovered the teachings of the ascended masters given through their messengers did I realize that after hundreds, perhaps thousands, of lifetimes on this earth, at long last I was offered the chance to return Home to God in the ascension at the close of this embodiment or at least in the next.


While all of Mrs. Booth's books are enjoyable and easy to read--and The Masters and their Retreats makes for great bedtime reading--it is The Path to Your Ascension that I highly recommend to anyone who is interested in discovering the higher purpose of their life and learning how to attain it in a most practical way.

Thank you, Mrs. Booth!
