Exciting Announcement! The Alchemy Series Begins... Starting with Episode IV!

Blog Number: 10
Author: Kelly L. Call

Dear friends and fellow travelers,

I have some truly exciting news to share today – something that represents the culmination of a long, deeply personal, and Spirit-guided journey. For years, as many of you know from my previous work and posts, I have been exploring and mapping the profound intersection of emotional intelligence and spiritual growth through the lens of restored gospel truths. This quest led to the framework of the seven “superpowers” or governing dynamics detailed in my first book.

Now, I’m thrilled to announce the official launch of a new fictional book series built upon that foundation: The Alchemy of Christlike Emotional and Spiritual Intelligence. This series will delve deeply into each of the core quests necessary for mastering our inner world and aligning fully with Christ.

Interestingly, much like some iconic cinematic sagas (yes, think Star Wars!), this series won’t be released in strict chronological order. We are embarking on this transformative journey together starting with Episode IV of the planned seven (possibly eight) quests. Why start here? Because Episode IV, focused on Charitability, strikes at the very heart of our human experience and the core of Christlike love. It deals with themes of healing, shame, pain, justice, mercy, and forgiveness that resonate so deeply and feel incredibly relevant for the challenges we all face today. It felt like the pivotal place the Spirit directed us to begin.

So, it is with immense excitement and gratitude that I announce the first book in the series is AVAILABLE NOW!

Introducing Episode IV: The Quest for Charitability

The Heart of the Matter: Healing Cultural and Family Shame and Pain

Here is a deeper look into what this pivotal quest explores:

The Great Work turns inward, to the alchemist’s most intricate crucible: The HEART. In Episode IV of The Alchemy of Christlike Emotional and Spiritual Intelligence, the sacred journey of the Langley family continues, demanding profound purification. Having learned fundamental lessons in Responsibility, Sociability, and Engageability, Elara and Andrew now face the defining quest for Charitability – the core of Christlike love.

But this path leads directly through the insidious shadows of shame – personal inadequacy, parental guilt, cultural judgment, and the toxic patterns inherited. How do you heal when the weight of the past threatens to eclipse the future of your marriage and family? How do you nurture connection when haunted by ghosts of betrayal and emotional detachment?

This Episode explores the struggle to integrate divine Justice with infinite Mercy. Witness Elara and Andrew navigate the complexities of offering forgiveness when wounds are still raw, setting boundaries with love, and holding space for accountability without falling into condemnation – both with each other and in their difficult extended family relationships. They must also confront their own harsh self-judgment, learning the vital act of Self-Compassion. Can they stop trying to earn worthiness and instead learn to receive the grace proffered?

Join the Langleys as they wrestle with core questions: How do we break free from cycles of bitterness and resentment? What does it mean to love as Christ loves, seeing inherent worth beneath flawed exteriors? How can we apply hesed – God’s covenantal loving-kindness – not just when it’s easy, but when faced with profound disappointment or challenging behaviors, especially within the demanding crucible of parenthood?

Experience their journey through seeking counsel, confronting painful denials, practicing vulnerability, and discovering the enabling power of the Atonement to heal not just individual sins, but deep emotional wounds and generational pain. Discover how embracing the Pure Love of Christ, guided by the Master Alchemist, becomes the key to transmuting the lead of shame and pain into the radiant gold of authentic compassion, unconditional positive regard, peace, and resilient wholeness.

“The Heart of the Matter” offers more than a story; it provides an intimate exploration of the vital principles and spiritual alchemy required to heal the human heart.
Episode IV, “The Heart of the Matter,” is available today in paperback for $22.95. It represents countless hours of writing, revision, prayer, and reliance on the Spirit to produce this gospel grounded fictional series, and I truly believe it offers profound insights and practical pathways for healing.
