Fun fact
Davenport succeeds in making esoteric concepts accessible through a warm, saintly voice. The integration of practical body-work with metaphysical theory is its strongest asset. However, readers seeking rigorous theological analysis or skeptical inquiry may find the channeled format too subjective. It sits comfortably in the New Age practical spirituality niche, offering comfort to those navigating rapid personal and global transitions.

📝 Description: Reflections on Ascension: Channeled Teachings of St. Francis

Challenging, yet warm and loving, St. Francis urges us to prepare for ascension. This book includes chapters on the higher self, unconditional acceptance, divine equality, light-anchoring, working with your emotions, subpersonalities and decision-making, centering, holding a vision, nurturing the physical body, and the plan for mass ascension. In the words of St. Francis: You dear readers, are very much involved in this undertaking. You are, in a way, the ground troops and you are in the midst of a 'battle' that is more about holding the light than anything else.

💎 Expert review

Esoterica Books editorial team
Occult literature desk
This title offers a soothing, compassionate perspective on ascension, effectively stripping away traditional elements of judgment in favor of unconditional love. It succeeds as a practical guide for emotional alchemy and daily spiritual integration. However, it will not suit readers who prefer rigorous theological scholarship, historical accuracy, or complex doctrinal debates. Skeptics of channeled material or those seeking harsh, ascetic spiritual disciplines may find the tone overly sentimental and lacking in intellectual rigor. It is best enjoyed as a devotional aid for those already committed to New Age metaphysics rather than as an objective historical account.

Exceeded expectations

Bought this as a gift for my sister and ended up ordering a second copy for myself. It connects ideas I'd only seen treated separately elsewhere. It reads better in small doses — a chapter at a time with notes. Will be gifting a copy to a friend.

This has been on my wishlist for months. The symbolism is layered and generous to patient readers. The font runs small in the appendices.

A friend in my study group recommended this one. The ideas are old but land with surprising force today. Would buy from this store again.

Bought this as a gift for my sister and ended up ordering a second copy for myself. A text you study rather than simply read. Delivery took a bit longer than quoted. Recommended with reservations.
