The Rose and the Sword

Ever feel like you have a split personality or that you relate to the opposite gender in ways that you don't quite understand? Well, there might be a good reason for that. Find out more. Read about the feminine and masculine traits that are inside of all of us. You will find stories that match your story.

Available in print through online bookstores, as well as in selected bookstores. Available also in digital form through Amazon Kindle, B&N Book Nook, and Apple iBooks.



Description: A unique combination of fiction and self-development, this book invites the reader to enter a realm of modern and fantasy tales that stimulate both mind and feelings. Each tale addresses different aspects of the feminine and masculine energies that exist beyond gender and sexual identity in each one of us. At the end of each story is a psychological commentary that provides a deeper understanding of the chapter's subject and an exercise to begin the process of integrating the energies highlighted in the chapter.

From the Press Release:

Dr. Judith Bach (co-author of How To Play Nice Together) and Nanette Hucknall (author of Karma, Destiny, and Your Career and Higher Self Yoga) have done it again. Another great book—this one co-authored by the two of them, producing an unusual literary design of self-help hints and story-telling that makes for absorbing reading! The stories reflect the principles not just as parables but as compelling and enjoyable tales.

Reviews:

From Online Bookstores:

It is wonderful to finally discover an extraordinary piece of literature that portrays the principles of both Male and Female Energies in such an enlightening and entertaining way!...Through all my years of spiritual searching, I have now found what I have been looking for in this amazing book, `THE ROSE & THE SWORD". The exercises although optional, are well worth taking the time to complete as they will bring you "inside" the experience; and open up the Portal to your own relationship with these powerful principles.
...A heartfelt thanks to the authors, Judy Bach and Nanette Hucknall for creating this amazing piece of fiction and offering me a key to integrate these powerful Principles into my own life!  (Keary, Amazon)

This book has become a companion, sitting on my bedside table. I refer to the stories for inspiration and use the exercises when I don't feel my life is as balanced as I would like it to be. Understanding the necessity of developing both feminine and masculine energy and having the tools to do this, have changed my life. High recommend it! (Susan, Amazon)

From GoodReads:

... as the lessons unfolded, I grew to really appreciate the nuanced ways in which one could approach one’s own self-development or the growth of oneself within a relationship. (Kimberlyn)

From Library Thing:

I found this book to be as a lighthouse in the fog as it is a beacon to follow and to help a person change some of her/his shadow side by identifying and working with the unintegrated male and female aspects of self. (Grace)
