Published Feb. 9, 2017

 Rev. James Highs Reho argues that despite what many may believe, the early Christian spirituality practiced by Jesus himself was a tantric spirituality. Reho explains in Tantric Jesus (Destiny Books) that tantra is a holistic transformative path of life love, and being that is grounded in practice. Reho shows how we can re-engage in the original truths of the early church to affirm the body as holy and to utilize the energy of the erotic to achieve ecstatic union with the divine.
