This is not an ordinary book that you hold in your hands, but a living record of a hidden tradition in Judeo0Christianity, a tradition whose traces can be found throughout history, from the most distant antiquity to the present. This tradition reveals a spiritual record of men and women who have come to know with complete certainty that they are Wisdom's children, guided by Sophia, divine Wisdom.
