ILLUMINATION Book Chapters
Embodying Soul: A Return to Wholeness
Featuring an accomplished author and an outstanding book: Keri Mangis

One of the best initiatives for ILLUMINATION Integrated Publications this year is the establishment of ILLUMINATION Book Chapters bringing numerous awards winning authors to one place.
In this post, I want to introduce Keri Mangis, one of those authors who brought wisdom and vitality to our new publication.
Keri has already submitted many chapters of this remarkable book titled Embodying Soul: A Return to Wholeness.
I read inspiring reviews on many sites about this book including in Goodreads.

The best review of a book can be by the creator of it.
Hence, I want to share Keri’s introduction published on ILLUMINATION-Curated today.
Embodying Soul: A Return to Wholeness An Introduction and Invitation
When I first began this book, I was in a place in my life we in the spiritual community often call a Dark Night of the Soul. Several ventures of mine had ended, and I wasn’t sure what was next. I felt I understood what my skills and strengths were, but I couldn’t seem to find a way to put them to use in the world in a way that would be recognizable to others (i.e., safe) as well as satisfying to me. Plus, I was tired of trying so hard, and making (seemingly) no progress. I was having an identity crisis (isn’t this what all mid-life crises are at the core?)
Like many readers, I am inspired by this book, and I look forward to subsequent chapters. Some readers couldn’t wait and purchased the book to read it fast.
To make it easy for our readers, I provide a list of published chapters here.
I hope you enjoy reading these chapters as much as I did.
