"Penelope Etnier Dinsmore has been laboring in the vineyards of becoming herself--what we Jungians call individuation--for more than fifty years. This wonderful book is one of the many fruits of that labor, which also include many glorious paintings. I have always admired her multi-talented creations as I have admired her for being such a beautiful woman who has struggled mightily to find her own, very unique way. The Treasure That Came into the World to Find Its Self is a testament to the strength and grace of the human spirit."--Thomas Singer, MD, Jungian analyst"A secret is hidden in these pages. In order to find it, you will need to enter into its pages, enter into the shapes and colors and words and let them become the world you inhabit ... So curl up in your favorite chair and take your time, because this is an adventure that is too wonderful to rush!"--Dyane Sherwood, PhD, from the Foreword"Through vivid images, this gentle and powerful book tells the story of a woman's journey in becoming her true self, the treasure we all seek."--Tina Stromsted, PhD, from the Afterword

What would you do when the only path to your destiny is the path you never wished for? Each destiny has a price that we must pay. The path of the cross is that which leads to the crown. Life triumphs over death. Death only brings out life. Death helps to reveal the power of life. The path which is common to all men is the path which leads to nowhere. God had determined the seasons long before time began. He had also determined their appointed times and duration. In the eternal order the unfavorable must come before the favorable, darkness must precede light and evil happens before good. The blessing cancels the curse and sin shall abound that grace may thereafter much more abound. The script is the eternal master plan. There is nothing that can ever be added to or taken away from the script. It is eternally perfect and complete in its design and concept. There must be a time when evil is allowed to hold sway but good holds the trump card of finality.
No one can argue that our world is not in crisis. Most anyone could easily provide a laundry list of defective traits and characteristics within any community to prove this point. But identifying problems is a far cry from solving them; and the sheer volume of opinions and ideas concerning how to fix or even improve our global woes have left far too many people confused and disheartened in their search for answers. Rare Treasure of Destiny is the much-anticipated first installment of the inspirational series Medication for the Nations where the brilliantly convincing case is made that Jesus Himself offers some of the most dynamic and practical anecdotes for society's problems in a very unique biblical passage found in the book of Revelation. By carefully exploring this text of seven diverse church communities, Christian theologians Stan Conely and Tommie Howard creatively show how Christ's assessment of these congregations can be used to assist us with correcting age-old ills of the human condition with spiritual measures. Providing a refreshing injection of confidence for all who seek to exist beyond spiritual mediocrity, this series will inspire and cultivate a strong, intimate, service-centered relationship with the Creator.
