Just by this title: 10 most powerful books to be spiritually awakened. I am sure you already awakened. Spiritual growth is important as oxygen is to our body.  ​Are you looking for some good summer reading to help you grow spiritually? I don’t know about you, but I’m always searching for great books, powerful books, particularly in the summer months when I have more time and desire to read.

The reality is, our spiritual leadership will rise only to the level of our holiness. So there is no greater need in our leadership than growing in our character and Christlikeness. It is foundational, and everything else follows suit. 

What does it mean to be spiritually awakened and enlightened?

When we have a spiritual awakening, we have an awareness.

A spiritual awakening is, generally speaking, a newfound awareness of a spiritual reality. A spiritual awakening can be gradual or rapid, and it can mean different things to different people.

An internet search of the term spiritual awakening leads to sites where one can find the five stages of spiritual awakening, ten signs of spiritual awakening, and “eight signs you may be experiencing a spiritual awakening.” 

These signs and stages may be physical everything from gaining or losing appetite, weight, sleep, or energy to physical sensitivity to cell phones.

Biblically, a spiritual awakening is not a waking from spiritual sleep but a resurrection from spiritual death. All people are born in sin and are spiritually dead. 

Ephesians 2:1 

10 Most Powerful Books to be Spiritually Awakened

States that, before we knew Christ, we were dead in transgressions and sins. Because of the sin of Adam, which we inherited, we are all separated from God, who is Life (Romans 5:12).  10 Most Powerful Books to be Spiritually Awakened

We cannot experience, understand, or relate to a holy and perfect God in our unregenerate state, nor can we enter His kingdom. 

Our need for spiritual awakening is profound: “The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ” (2 Corinthians 4:4).

What Causes A Spiritual Awakening?

For many, a spiritual awakening is brought about by a life-changing event. For others, it is a gradual and subtle shift. Here are two lists of common catalysts for spiritual awakening.

1. Near-death Experience (NDE)

This is pretty self-explanatory. Many people who’ve reported having an NDE also discuss coming into contact with beings from the other side. As you can imagine, such an experience profoundly transforms one’s outlook on life.

2. A Natural Awakening

This is an involuntary process of awakening. It takes place after engaging in a practice that produces a shift in conscious awareness

True Christian spirituality is based upon the extent to which a born-again believer allows the Holy Spirit to lead and control his or her life.

Therefore, Christian spirituality involves a choice we make to “know and grow” in our daily relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ by submitting to the ministry of the Holy Spirit in our lives. This means that, as believers, we choose to keep our communication with the Spirit clear through confession (1 John 1:9). 

The Symptoms – What Does A Spiritual Awakening Feel like?

Overwhelming feelings of love – God is love. As you are experiencing an elevation in your conscious awareness you will be in increased contact with this divine love.

  1. Lucid Dreams – These are dreams in which you are aware of the fact that you are dreaming or feel as if you are awake within the dream.
  2. Feelings of De Ja Vu – This is having an experience that feels as if it occurred before or feels familiar.

Written by Australian television producer Rhonda Byrne, and based on a documentary she created in 2006 of the same title, The Secret tells of the laws of attraction: asking for what you want, believing in what you want, and being open to receiving it.

With a basis in the 19th century New Thought movement, Byrne’s book has proven to be a cultural phenomenon, making the number one spot on The New York Times bestseller list.

While some consider the book little more than slick marketing and the re-packaging of many other spiritual beliefs, the book’s cultural significance cannot be denied. The Secret: Dare to Dream, a movie based on the text featuring Katie Holmes and Josh Lucas, is coming out in 2020.

8. The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho

Paulo Coelho’s The Alchemist tells the simple tale of a shepherd who journeys from Spain to the pyramids of Egypt in search of a treasure.

9. The Celestine Prophecy by James Redfield.

The book is a part adventure story and part New Age spiritual novel. The book details one man’s journey through Peru as he uncovers nine spiritual insights. While many have found the plot corny, the insights captivate the reader to shift their perspective.

10. A New Earth

“Every Ego wants to be special. If it can’t be special by being superior to others, it’s especially good to be miserable.” Eckhart Tolle.

A New Earth is another of Tolle’s works but one that revolves around letting go of your ego. It gained popularity thanks in part to being recommended by Oprah, A New Earth is a must-read if you wish to reduce your inner & outer conflict.

In conclusion, the path to spiritual enlightenment is a highly intimate and life-changing one. Although there are innumerable books that can aid in this process, the ten books below stand out as excellent tools for anyone looking for spiritual enlightenment.

These works offer significant insights into the essence of existence, awareness, and the human experience. They cover a wide range of perspectives, ideologies, and practices.

These works have the power to start a spark within, leading readers toward a deeper awareness of themselves and the interconnectedness of all things, whether they are digging into ancient wisdom, examining contemporary spiritual teachings, or plunging into the depths of personal introspection.

May these potent texts provide as guides and inspiration on the road to spiritual enlightenment.

You start to learn the importance of affirmations. You will “affirm” to the universe what you want and watch your manifestations come to life, Berry says.

“Noticeable changes in life include breakthroughs happening when least expected, finances expanding, relationships flourishing, and synchronicity of grand opportunities,”.

The more the individual let us go, the more they attune to the frequencies of happiness and love, and the more space is created for one’s desires to reach them.
