Editorial Reviews

"It is a rare occurrence indeed when a book not only delivers on its message but also gives you practical, straightforward and incredibly wise ways in which to apply the teachings put forth in Awakening the Soul of Power. I found it to be an introspective work that is a balm for the soul of anyone searching for truth and answers to life's difficult questions, and truly look forward to the rest of Christian de la Huerta's amazing Calling All Heroes series. It inspired me to purchase his previous book, Coming Out Spiritually: The Next Step."

"I have had the privilege of knowing Christian for over 30 years and have come to respect and admire his integrity that shines through in all that he does and attempts to do (including his breathwork, which I have profited richly from). In this book he talks about our becoming the "heroes" we are called to be. The theological word for hero is saint. The teachings and practices he lays out here are lessons appropriate to discovering holiness once again-not only our capacity for it but everyone's capacity for it. Is it time for holiness? For courage, creativity and adventure? Christian thinks so, and he offers a useful and tried map forward based on his own inner work and decades of focused retreat gatherings where life stories rise, and hearts catch fire. His is a voice worth heeding in this time of the dark night of our species."
