This inspiring and heart-warming book offers new hope and guidance to a suffering world on the threshold of a golden age. It presents the teachings of Maitreya-the Christ and World Teacher for this age-on both outer (worldly) and inner (spiritual) levels, His uniquely accurate forecasts of world events, and His miraculous appearances to people throughout the world. It also contains a series of interviews with the Master of Wisdom whom author Benjamin Creme has been associated for more than 40 years. These interviews throw new light on some of the greatest problems facing humanity. More insightful information is offered on such diverse topics as the growth of consciousness, psychology, nuclear weapons, the environment, AIDS, the stock market, and science and technology in the New Age. Transcripts of Creme's lectures on 'The Overcoming of Fear' and 'The Call to Service' offer valuable guidance for those who tread the spiritual path.
