Writers across times and spiritualities explore the mystery of the unity between Spirit and Creation – from the ancient Tao Te Ching to the music and pop culture of the 21st Century.
For nearly 3,000 years, men and women from all cultures have experienced "aha" moments when they felt in their bones that Spirit and Creation were One.
"In the Same Breath" traces this mystery chronologically through 52 weekly writings by women and men in all the world's spiritual and secular traditions, including Vedic scriptures, Buddhist writings and Islamic, Jewish and Christian mystical texts, as well as selections from modern fiction and the new synthesis of physics and spirituality.
A dozen striking images, each linked to a different epoch, encourage meditation and deep reflection.

"In the Same Breath" holds jewel of selected readings, stunning images
"...The jewel of Griffin's efforts here is in the selections of spirituality that she presents. Some selections are so beautiful that we are reduced to tears..."

... "Jean rightly described the book as a hybrid, in part a set of extremely well-chosen weekly readings, part an examination of a thread of spirituality that began 2600 years ago and seems now to be coming full circle, and a third part which is a group of stunning images by Christine Tobias that capture and reflect that spiritual thread. Both the readings and the images can be valuable seeds for contemplation and meditation."

"One Sprit: A Creation Story for the 21st Century," is a grown-up picture book of Creation that celebrates our diversity, embraces evolution, and looks forward to an eternal, joyful afterlife of the spirit in unity with the One Spirit.
Families who value diversity and whose concepts of God are somewhat non-traditional and pluralistic will find "One Spirit" an ideal and gentle way to introduce children to the ideas of creation, life, death and eternity.
"One Spirit" contains nearly two dozen full-color, vibrant artistic imaginings of life that are rich in spirit and invite wonder, meditation and joy.

"One Spirit: A Creation Story for the 21st Century," called a book for children of all ages; DVD is 'terrific,' 'message is universal.'
"...The book only contains a couple of hundred words, but those words and the pictures accompanying them speak volumes ... It is a book to share with children - of all ages - who are dissatisfied with conventional answers, as they start to become interested in questions of God, life and death.
.... "The artist, Jane Gaunt, has captured something very special."

This stunningly beautiful DVD includes three meditation guides based on the text in the book and a "making of" featurette that takes you inside the creation of the book and DVD, including the close collaboration across 2,000 miles between the two sisters-in-law who melded works and images to create "One Spirit."
The DVD also examines the creation stories of many different civilizations and traditions. Beautiful images show how many creation myths were depicted in caves and on rocks by the people who wrote them. A well-researched narration explains how these stories from centuries ago laid the foundation for the way their societies evolved.
Great for older children and teenagers as well as adults.

"There is a terrific DVD that tells the tale in more detail, and includes three meditation guides with some delightful music.
Highly recommended.
