Order of Peace by Wayne Holmes
the title, Every Path Leads Home: Opening to Your Spiritual Journey. Learn more about Wayne’s healing work at ReligiousRecovery.org.
One way to have peace in our lives is to teach peace. Of course, this principle holds true for many things. If we want more love, we teach love. When we teach, we are our best students because in teaching we study to know our subject, and the ideas become solidified in our minds, and ultimately it is embedded into our hearts.
Wayne Holmes’ Set Your Course shares six months of reflections that will give readers a path to spiritual freedom and help them connect to their soul and inner spirit. Not only does it provide healing from past religious abuse, but also abuse of nearly any form, and beyond that, it provides a path towards taking solid control of one’s religious and spiritual journey.
In the book, Every Path Leads Home,[1] the concept of peace is defined as our ability to tolerate, accept, embrace, forgive, and love. There is no right order of these concepts. In the book they are placed in what felt like a natural order of progression, but it doesn’t always work from point A to point B. Peace is achieved in many ways and instilled when we decide to teach it, even if our audience is only a few people or even one.

The order in which we reach peace is not important, just like the order in which we work the Steps of the Religious Recovery program isn’t our main concern. The important thing is to strive for peace and love no matter what path we take to get there.
–Liz Loring Educator, Life Coach & Group Facilitator
It wasn’t until I donned a clerical collar that I came to understand how people viewed religious leaders differently. Some were comforted by my presence while others seemed ill at ease. “Before long I realized that many had been damaged through judgment, guilt, rejection, and condemnation by a religion or by someone religious. I’m happy to report that these people do not have to languish in fear, depression, or resentment. “In Every Path Leads Home, Wayne Holmes has created a brilliant and very gentle way out of religious abuse and intolerance into peace, happiness, and personal freedom. “It is a way to heal us all.� –Rev. Gary Pennington &RQWLQXXP +HDOLQJ 3UDFWLWLRQHU Founder of Spirit Hospital Alliance

Mr. Holmes’ words resonate way beyond the printed page—they vibrate within your heart as truth. I absolutely LOVE this book! It is the best bridge I have seen joining traditional religion, spirituality, and the spiritual nature of us all. “The integrity of the author in revealing his own story is authentic, reminding me of the humanness of all of our experiences. I felt wrapped in the arms of loving kindness throughout the whole book. I predict this book will enlighten all who read it.�

Wayne Holmes’ Every Path Leads Home is a beautiful book of acceptance. Our lives on this plane of existence are of short duration, and we are all “headed home.� Different faith experiences define “home� differently, and each suggests a path or paths. For anyone who has been abused by the supposed rules and strictures of a church or congregation or pastor, for anyone who has come to see religion not as a faith experience but rather as a set of ironclad rules, for anyone who has grown weary of the struggle to find God by whatever name: Every Path Leads Home is a must-read.
Every Path Leads Home:
Sometimes peace comes when we embrace another even if we haven’t reached the point where we can accept or even tolerate their point of view. We might never agree with them or they with us. Sometimes love comes before any of the other steps, and even though we’re not quite ready to forgive or embrace, our hearts find a common place of respect, and we allow love to bring us together, setting aside our differences.
Opening to your spiritual journey, healing for the past, peace for the present. Direction for the future, Religious Recovery. Wayne Holmes
