Signs & Wonders - Tarot Cards for Christians

[Grizabella]

I just found this book on Amazon and since I know there are quite a few members who feel conflicted with their Christian beliefs and using Tarot, I thought they might be interested in it. The reviews seem pretty positive, for the most part.

It looks interesting :O And since I'm too lazy to wait on shipping and delivery, I may just purchase the Kindle version. Thanks Grizabella

You're welcome. Let us know what you think of the book.

Ooh, I'd like to read that!

Sorry, but there's too much factual misinformation about the cards for me to recommend it. The concept of a Tarot book aimed at Christians is not a bad one but the author recycles the usual myths about Kabbala and Egypt etc.

It's written by the Church of Yahweh based in Tennessee and here's a sample of what in the book so you can judge for yourself.

Oh. Thanks for posting that. I've seen all I need to see.

So this came from the book, Mabuse? Or is it just part of their church website? I didn't explore the whole thing because I didn't have time to do that, but that one page seems to be just something from their church website unless the book title I posted is an e-book.

The sample posted is from the book. It's very much word-for-word from the Amazon.com preview.

[I haven't purchased the book yet, but now I really feel uncertain about it...]

Here is the link to the table of contents with a description of each card meaning.

The blurb that is available as a preview suggests a different point of view and a possible expansion of the user base. From an economic position, the publishers and distributors of tarot stuff benefit. This four might end up with a new and oddly counterintuitive sub-forum.

Looking at the collection of tarot books that I have or have read, there are no definitive final words on much of what we believe or wish to believe, only unsubstantiated claims and declarations of faith in stuff that isn'T that far removed from any of the tenets of Judeo-Christian theologies and their chismatic variations.
