I don’t remember the crisis quite so vividly anymore, or I returned to a healthier version of stage three.

The Critical Journey: Stages in the Life of Faith, by Janet Hagberg and Robert Guelich. Salem, WI: Sheffield Publishing Co. 2004. 268 pp.

Instead of a traditional book review of The Critical Journey, I wanted to share a personal life journey, structurally connected to this book. I would strongly encourage you to get and read the book, but perhaps sharing my own journey will resonate with you in your own growth. Drs. Hagberg and Guelich talk about 6 stages in the journey of spiritual development. My review went pretty long, so I divided it up into sections. Numbers in parentheses refer to page numbers from the second edition.

Stage 1: The RecognitionGhost shows in video corpses of Papa Emeritus I, II and III

In a video that shows the VIP experience that fans can have on the new tour in the United States, Ghost shows glass coffins with the characters Papa Emeritus I, II and III. The video was recorded show Los Angeles on May 4, and shows the band being taken in a limousine, and quickly shows the characters who were killed, giving way to the new vocalist Cardinal Copia.

New album

Prequelle, Meliora’s successor (2015), will be released by Spinefarm / Loma Vista Recordings and is now available for pre-order.

The new album will mark the arrival of “Cardinal Copia”, the “new” vocalist who “replaces” Pope Emeritus III – the same singer changes personality from time to time.
