"The author of this fascinating new book suggests that the stresses and contradictions of our culture have brought us individually and collectively to a turning point. From her own experiences and those of others, Tammie Fowles creates a road map for understanding both our personal crisis and their significance. She shows how they can become catalysts to infuse our lives, and perhaps, our culture, with meaning and wholeness." Alan Wagener, Greensense

"BirthQuake by Tammie Fowles is the most satisfying reading I have yet seen in the field of psychotherapy... The anecdotes in the book will bring tears of joy, grief, and spiritual confirmation to your eyes."Earl Roberts, TaleWins"Extraordinary! I began this book with trepidation believing it would be another salve for the wounded spirit which might touch a little insight here and there, but basically result in little or no real help. I was wrong! BirhtQuake is a working book which guides you through your crisis, whether you are coming out or going in... I would highly recommend the book to a study group or to almost any individual." Gale Mars, Audiobook review
