On the Edge
A Soul-Stirring Memoir of Self-Discovery and Spiritual Awakening
Adria Sanders
2026 Finalist
263 Pages
Check current price
Non-Fiction - New Age

On the Edge by Adria Sanders is a heartfelt memoir that follows the author's journey of self-discovery and spiritual awakening. Sanders shares how she went from being a child who couldn't open up to anyone about her dreams to someone who embraces the mysteries of the unseen world by sharing her experiences in this book. She discusses her struggles with memories, telepathic communication, and the encounters she had with entities which she called "Lord of Records and Whispers." Sanders shares how she tried to balance her duties as a mother and businesswoman while facing all these challenges. These overwhelming encounters made her question the purpose and meaning of her existence. This book shows Sanders' curiosity to find out about spirituality. Her journey was one marked by fear and the challenge of accepting the truth that defines her reality.
Adria Sanders' writing style is honest, engaging, well-detailed, captivating, and easy to understand. As someone who didn't believe in spirituality, this book has changed my perspective on how I see life. The author's ability to go through all these challenges and still be a devoted mother and businesswoman was so inspiring and motivating. The pacing made my reading experience even better; it was just perfect for me. I love how honest Sanders was; she didn't mind sharing her bittersweet childhood, adolescence, and adulthood experiences. It made me connect more to her journey and gave depth to this book. It was like I watched her grow; everything she went through just to find purpose without giving up made her journey so emotional. This book explores themes of resilience, self-discovery, and purpose. The author's ability to explain spirituality using her experiences in such a clear and relatable manner is amazing. I recommend On the Edge by Adria Sanders to everyone willing to find their spiritual gift and clarity, and to those already on a spiritual path.

Dreamifesting
Harnessing the Power of Your Dreams to Create the Life You Desire
Kelly Sullivan Walden
2026 Honorable Mention
352 Pages
Check current price
Non-Fiction - New Age

Dreamifesting by Kelly Sullivan Walden offers a twelve-week program for anyone who wants to use their dreams as a manifestation tool. Walden, who has spent over twenty-five years studying dreams professionally, introduces Dreamifesting as a distinct third path between what she calls "manifesting" (pushing hard for what you want) and "womanifesting" (passively surrendering and waiting). Instead, Dreamifesting asks readers to harness the images, symbols, and insights that surface during sleep and pair them with intentional waking actions. Using an extended flight metaphor, Walden walks readers week by week through stages like uncovering a "Soul Goal Flight Plan," releasing what's holding them back, building a support network, and working through fear before ultimately landing on and celebrating their goals, all illustrated with real stories from her clients and her own life.
Kelly Sullivan Walden's approach in Dreamifesting is structured and grounded despite the inherently mystical subject of her book. Instead of offering vague and often confusing affirmations, she gives readers a clear twelve-week framework, a quiz to identify their default manifesting style, and specific dreamwork tools to apply each week, which makes the book feel like a genuine program rather than an inspirational read. Her writing voice is naturally conversational, and the structure is easy to follow throughout. She also does a nice job of distinguishing her approach from New Age manifestation techniques, grounding her method instead in self-awareness and action rather than passive wishing. Readers who are curious about dreamwork or who have tried and been frustrated by traditional manifestation practices will find Dreamifesting a fresh and approachable alternative.

Non-Fiction - New Age

Manifesting From The Soul (How To Raise Your Vibration And Unleash The Power Within) by Dr. Malti Patel is a self-help guide that will help you connect to the spiritual realm and live a more positive life filled with love and gratitude. The author introduces readers to the Unified Field, which is a multidimensional energy connecting everyone and everything. She explains how we can gain access to this field, how we can move to high-energy frequencies, and find the right vibrational sync to connect with our goals and purpose. She shows how limiting beliefs and negative ideas that we have learned from our bad experiences hinder us from elevating our current vibration frequency. The book explains how meditation exercises, affirmations, and lofty questions can help you develop empowering beliefs, manifest your goals and dreams, and connect with your angels and guides.
Manifesting From The Soul is a practical spiritual guide that will change the way you view life and attract success, happiness, and peace into your life. Dr. Malti Patel’s narrative is easy to follow and understand. She discusses different aspects of the spiritual realm, such as chakras and energy beings. I love that the author uses analogies to explain different concepts. She also highlights how children are a great example for us to follow when trying to reconnect to the spiritual dimension. She points out their determination, curiosity, and ability to keep going even after experiencing failure. Most of the exercises require rewiring how we think and using our imaginations to visualize what we want and who we wish to be. The lessons will transform your life and help you grow into a person who does not let the past and negative experiences weigh them down. It has many references to other materials and books that can help you exercise your mind and assist in your journey. This is a wonderful read and a must-have for anyone interested in expanding their knowledge on how to connect to their spiritual self and manifest a life that is full of love and abundance.

Soft Landings
Spiritual Wisdom Book 1
Jerry McDaniel
2026 Gold Medal
Kindle Edition
Check current price
Non-Fiction - New Age

Soft Landings is Jerry McDaniel’s view of human well-being as alignment within an integrated human system. The book explains how inner activity registers in the body and how misalignment appears through distress. McDaniel describes love as a foundational energy expressed through ordinary action and received through self-regard. He talks about fear as a learned pattern and that it actually shapes expectation until our attention returns. The book addresses transitions across life stages and examines research on near-death experiences in relation to consciousness. Abundance is defined through sufficiency and gratitude with shared responsibility for collective care. Guidance and ethical choices frame responses to injustice during daily life as lived human practice. The text places individual decision-making within spiritual continuity that extends beyond physical life and ethics.
Soft Landings: Spiritual Wisdom by Jerry McDaniel is one of those types of comforting books that, as you read it, inherently has a calm presence. I know that may sound strange, but perhaps it will make more sense once the book has been opened, as it is perfect for readers who feel unsure about spiritual ideas. This is an incredibly easy book to follow along with and wonderful to refer back to. McDaniel writes in a conversational style that is very accessible, which is important in a book where we are taught to treat the mind, body, and spirit as one living system. While everything he gives us is useful, the standout to me is when he talks about karma, something often misunderstood as punishment or revenge. McDaniel clarifies that karma operates as a system of learning in which past actions inform present awareness. It's a complicated concept, but I finally understand it! Hands down, this is the book of spiritual wisdom you should be reading. Recommended.

Unlocking Kabbalah

2025 Finalist
Kindle Edition
Check current price
Non-Fiction - New Age

Unlocking Kabbalah: A New Synthesis of Astrology, Tarot, and the Tree of Life is a work of non-fiction in the New Age, self-help, and holistic philosophy genres. Penned by author Thomas Weems, this fascinating work reinterprets the Kabbalistic Tree of Life, suggesting its current form is a twist on a much older and more rewarding design. By rearranging it, Weems reveals a more logical and intuitive structure, showing a map of reality that aligns with the zodiac and ancient astrology's seven traditional planets. This book breathes new life into the paths and Sephiroth of the Tree, integrating insights from Tarot, psychology, magic, and the Law of Attraction. It makes Kabbalah accessible and vivid, offering a compelling and understandable cosmic blueprint of human experience.
Author Thomas Weems has a clear enthusiasm and passion for his subject matter, helping him craft a fascinating and enlightening journey into the depths of mysticism and philosophical knowledge. Weems' reimagining of the Kabbalistic Tree of Life provided a fresh perspective that felt both innovative and intuitive, and I found it highly accessible despite knowing very little about Kabbalah to begin with. The way he connected the Tree to the zodiac and ancient astrology's planets was particularly intriguing, as it brought a sense of harmony and clarity to these esoteric traditions whilst also linking readers to something more mainstream and familiar as a starting point. The narrative was engaging and penned with the warmth and confidence of a wise friend explaining their worldview, and Weems' ability to simplify complex ideas made the book accessible without losing its profound depth. The slow building of ideas forms an impressive bigger picture charged with positivity and inspiring zest for life. This work not only expanded my understanding of Kabbalah but also inspired a deeper appreciation for its interconnectedness with other mystical and psychological frameworks, making it a great springboard to explore other New Age thinking. Overall, Unlocking Kabbalah was a thought-provoking and transformative read that I would certainly recommend.

Empathic Evolution
An Invitation from the Council of We
Jennifer Elizabeth Moore
2025 Honorable Mention
248 Pages
Check current price
Non-Fiction - New Age

In the non-fiction spiritual work Empathic Evolution, author Jennifer Elizabeth Moore channels the Council of We, who wish to guide humanity in reconnecting with the Earth, its own body, and each other. The Council discusses the roots of disconnection, speaking on patriarchal and agricultural shifts, which have led to insecurity and emotional repression over movement and sensory awareness as paths to healing. The Council addresses empaths, advising them not to absorb others’ suffering but to maintain inner peace, which creates broader positive change. They lean into the importance of sovereignty, emotional regulation, and releasing limiting beliefs. Through creativity, self-trust, and divine guidance, individuals are told to move beyond fear and ego to align with their true purpose. The Council champions collaboration, generosity, and trust in divine abundance, urging humanity to evolve collectively by embracing connectedness, healing, and self-awareness in both spiritual and physical realms.
Jennifer Elizabeth Moore's Empathic Evolution: An Invitation from the Council of We is not the first book I've read where the author is a vessel, but is one of the more accessible and practical in what is shared. The writing has a roundness that is fluid and a compassionate tone, neither of which undermines the assertiveness of the Council of We's teachings. Two things stood out most to me, the greatest being a warning against unchecked power in spiritual leadership and how it exacerbates collective powerlessness, which I think is significant in a day and age where the divide is massive. I also liked the metaphor of driving into a skid to regain control when veering into difficulty. It might feel contrary to every instinct but is truly how one saves oneself. Empathic Evolution is not an easy read in terms of what needs to be done to right the ship, but it's filled with wisdom, and, for those seeking guidance on navigating spiritual evolution with authenticity, this book is an essential, transformative resource.

Kindle Edition

Non-Fiction - New Age

In We Are Not Humans: With Master Plant Spirit Teachers to Self-Realization and Beyond, Aleron II shares an intimate account of his transformative journey through spirituality, illness, and enlightenment. The book discusses the profound healing potential of plant and toad medicines—specifically Ayahuasca, Iboga, and other entheogens—as catalysts for personal and spiritual awakening. The key themes include exploring the “Game” of life, which reflects on the intertwined nature of spirit, soul, ego, and the experiences that shape human existence. Aleron emphasizes the importance of understanding one’s true essence, transcending limiting beliefs and social conditioning, and achieving unconditional love as the pinnacle of spiritual evolution.
This is a book about healing and much more. Readers quickly become aware of the spiritual energies flowing through nature, and the author demonstrates how to channel these energies through his personal experiences, insights, and practical guidance. Aleron II’s narrative is a compelling reflection on the complex process of self-discovery and healing, and he writes about mortality, addiction, trauma, and recovery with simplicity and wisdom. Following an initial cancer diagnosis that shattered his previous life, Aleron reevaluated his existence, leading him to master plant teachings that served as guides to triumph over despair. Through his experiences, the author illustrates that the journey toward self-realization is not linear but filled with challenges that offer growth opportunities. We Are Not Humans asserts that liberation arises from embracing the entire spectrum of one's experiences, including suffering and healing. This book spoke to me uniquely and meaningfully, and I believe it is a gift I needed now. The author will invite you into a dialogue with yourself, your core beliefs, your understanding of self, and your experience of suffering and the world around you.

Non-Fiction - New Age

In her self-help memoir Guidance From the Universe, Jill Amy Sager discusses her path to growth through self-awareness, healing, and a lot of spiritual reflection. Sager talks about her father, a relationship from which she learned to embrace and process emotions like anger and self-loathing. Sager also speaks about her problems with jealousy and judgment, recognizing these as obstacles to growth. She leans into the importance of forgiveness, both for herself and others, in delivering peace and understanding. Through her varied career, including teaching music and running a drum school, Sager shares her perspective on the role of intuition, self-trust, and money. Other topics she covers are her changing perspective on God, love, and death, advocating for self-compassion, conscious decision-making, and the acceptance of loss as part of life’s journey.
Jill Amy Sager’s Guidance From the Universe: Hopeful Messages for Everyday Challenges is a beautifully written and candid look into her life, which is likely to mirror in many ways that of a reader. With an authentic, almost conversational voice, Sager offers a lot of lessons learned and insights gained without ever falling into the self-help trap of sounding prescriptive. She never does, and, as a result, her credibility stands. I found her discussion of the fear of death to be most interesting because it often gets swept quickly away in most books, but Sager dedicates time to it, and I appreciated that. Sager makes connecting to her and what she has to say easy, although the areas covered are difficult in reality. Through this intimate and thoughtful work, Sager provides guidance and a tangible sense of comfort and clarity. Very highly recommended.
