This book explores 9 apects, or 'faces' of God's love, as portrayed through His Word, that we need for our journey through life.

This book deals with the inspired and relentless search for the True Religion, telling the story of Joseph-bar-Joseph, a Messiah, crucified in 57 B.C., and showing the methods and techniques of developing the inner initiate Godself.

This book, which draws on the principles and practices of philosophy, is packed full of sound, concrete advice and guidance from the wise of both East and West. It shows us how to become free of fear--that tyrant of the soul by living more from the Self than the ego. Dr. Costello details the dynamics of fear from the perspective of Advaita Vedanta--its forms and figures--before presenting the nine fundamental fears with the help of the Enneagram system. There are Stoic strategies for facing fears, existential exercises, and recommended daily practices. Dr. Costello writes as both a philosopher and clinician and brings to this fascinating subject, in which we're all implicated, his erudition in both theory and therapy. The work complements his online course hosted by Udemy, "Therapy Technique for Anxiety, Phobias, & OCD," which highlights the importance of "paradoxical intention," derived from Viktor Frankl's school of philosophical psychology.

NINE FACES OF CHRIST is the narrative of Joseph-bar-Joseph, a Messiah crucified in 57 B.C. This story illustrates the methods and techniques that are required to develop the inner or initiate God-self. It deals with the secret and True Religion behind all religions, and with the preparation and initiation of the candidate into many secret and sacred metaphysical studies. From the mysteries of the Magi to the ancient Egyptian training for the God-King, no one will be excluded from this life-changing journey a journey that welcomes all. Here are disclosed initiate Truths such as those the Greek Philosopher Plato dared not to disclose because he was under sacred oath to keep them concealed. It deals with the inspired and relentless search for the True Religion, the unveiling of spiritual Truth long held so secret that one might even risk life itself to find.

"[O]ffers a thourough, non-clinical reference for anyone who companions or is companioned on the spiritual way. Its concrete examples and clear style make its message accessible to readers whether or not they have previously heard of the enneagram." -Suzanne Zuercher
