    About this ebook

    This e-book is an extract from Encounters that Changed the World and is also available as part of that complete publication.

    There have been many instances across the centuries of people’s encounters with God. Often these are intensely personal private experiences that powerfully influence and often transform individual lives. Occasionally profound spiritual experiences remake communities and lead to the emergence of a new religion it certainly happened to Moses, Buddha and Mohammed. This book traces the history of world religion through some significant early personal encounters with god. Encounters that were so momentous that they changed the world forever.

    Contents: Moses and the Burning Bush, Buddha’s Enlightenment, Constantine and the Flaming Cross, St Augustine and the English Pagans, Mohammed’s Revelation, King Edwin, Paulinus and Coifi, St Boniface and Thor’s Oak at Giesmar, Joan of Arc and the Voice of God
